Large magnetodielectric coupling in the vicinity of metamagnetic transition in 6H−perovskite Ba3GdRu2O9

The 6H-perovskites Ba3RRu2O9 (R = rare earth element) demonstrate the magnetodielectric (MD) coupling as a manifestation of 4d - 4f magnetic interactions. Here, we have reported a detailed study of the structural, magnetic, heat capacity, and MD properties of the 6H-perovskite Ba3GdRu2O9. The signature of long-range antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering at ~14.8 K (TN) is evident from the magnetization and heat capacity studies. The TN shifts towards the lower temperature side, apart from splitting in two with the application of the magnetic field. Field-dependent magnetization at 2 K shows three metamagnetic transitions with the opening of small hysteresis in different regions. A new transition at T1 emerges after the onset of the first metamagnetic transition. Complex magnetic behavior is observed in different magnetic field regions whereas these field regions themselves vary with the temperature. Dielectric response recorded at zero and 80 kOe field exhibits the development of MD coupling well above TN. The MD coupling (~ 4.5 % at 10 K) is enhanced by 25 % as compared to the Dy counterpart. Effect of complex magnetic behavior is also conveyed in the MD results where the maximum value of MD coupling is observed in the vicinity of 10 K (onset of T1) and near the second metamagnetic transition. Our investigation suggests that both Gd and Ru moments align simultaneously at TN. Short-range magnetic correlations are possibly responsible for MD coupling above TN.

Reverse heat flow with Peltier-induced thermoinductive effect

The concept of “thermal inductance” expands the options of thermal circuits design. However, the inductive component is the only missing components in thermal circuits unlike their electromagnetic counterparts. Herein, we report an electrically controllable reverse heat flow, in which heat flows from a low-temperature side to a high-temperature side locally and temporarily in a single material by imposing thermal inertia and ac current. This effect can be regarded as an equivalent of the “thermoinductive” effect induced by the Peltier effect. We derive the exact solution indicating that this reverse heat flow occurs universally in solid-state systems, and that it is considerably enhanced by thermoelectric properties. A local cooling of 25 mK is demonstrated in (Bi,Sb)2Te3, which is explained by our exact solution. This effect can be directly applicable to the potential fabrication of “thermoinductor” in thermal circuits.

ThermalAttackNet: Are CNNs Making It Easy to Perform Temperature Side-Channel Attack in Mobile Edge Devices?

Side-channel attacks remain a challenge to information flow control and security in mobile edge devices till this date. One such important security flaw could be exploited through temperature side-channel attacks, where heat dissipation and propagation from the processing cores are observed over time in order to deduce security flaws. In this paper, we study how computer vision-based convolutional neural networks (CNNs) could be used to exploit temperature (thermal) side-channel attack on different Linux governors in mobile edge device utilizing multi-processor system-on-chip (MPSoC). We also designed a power- and memory-efficient CNN model that is capable of performing thermal side-channel attack on the MPSoC and can be used by industry practitioners and academics as a benchmark to design methodologies to secure against such an attack in MPSoC.

Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa temperatur, dan tekanan pada setiap komponen mesin Mesin diesel Sulzer 16 ZAV 40S selama beroperasi 8 jam. Penelitian ini dilakukan di PT. Iradat Aman Sektor Pringgabaya Lombok. Engine Control Panel (ECP) dan Generator Control Panel (GCP) telah digunakan untuk menentukan nilai dari tekanan, dan temperatur berdasarkan sensor yang telah dipasang pada komponen mesin. Pengukuran temperatur dan tekanan dilakukan setiap jam selama 8 jam. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa setelah mesin beroperasi selama 4 jam sampai 7 jam; temperatur stator, temperatur gas buang, temperature silinder sisi A dan silider sisi B mengalami penurunan yang signifikan dikarenakan kebocoran pada silinder A dan B. Sedangkan tekanan pada mesin masih normal dan tidak mengalami perubahan yang signifikan. This study aims to analyze the temperature and pressure of each component of the Sulzer 16 ZAV 40S diesel engine for 8 hours of operation. This research was conducted at PT. Iradat Aman Sector Pringga Baya Lombok. The Engine Control Panel (ECP) and Generator Control Panel (GCP) have been used to determine the value of pressure and temperature based on sensors that have been installed on engine components. Temperature and pressure measurements were carried out every hour for 8 hours. The results showed that after the machine operated for 4 hours to 7 hours; stator temperature, exhaust gas temperature, cylinder temperature side A and side cylinder B experienced a significant decrease due to leaks in cylinders A and B. On the other hand, the pressure on the engine was still normal and did not experience a significant change.

Влияние температуры деформации на эффект реализации высокой пластичности в ультрамелкозернистом сплаве Al-1.5Cu

For the first time the influence of temperature of mechanical tension on the plastification effect (PE) in ultrafine-grained (UFG) Al-1.5Cu (wt.%) alloy was studied. The UFG structure in the material was formed by high pressure torsion (HPT). A significant increase in the plasticity (from ~ 3% to 22%) of the UFG alloy while maintaining high ultimate tensile strength (450 MPa) was achieved by additional treatment, including low temperature annealing and subsequent small additional HPT deformation. The temperature range of the PE implementation was revealed. It was shown that decrease of the deformation temperature leads to a gradual decrease of the PE and its disappearance at –20 oC. Cu alloying led to a significant narrowing of the range of PE implementation from low temperature side compared to the UFG commercially pure Al. Possible reasons of the influence of Cu alloying on temperature dependence of the PE are discussed.

Numerical Interpretation of Hydrogen Thermal Desorption Spectra for Iron with Hydrogen-Enhanced Strain-Induced Vacancies

We obtained thermal desorption spectra of hydrogen for a small-size iron specimen to which strain was applied during charging with hydrogen atoms. In the spectra, a shoulder-shaped peak in the high-temperature side was enhanced compared with the spectra of the specimen to which only strain was applied. We also observed that the peak almost disappeared by aging processes at ≥ 373 K. Then, assuming that the shoulder-shaped peak results from hydrogen atoms released by vacancies, we simulated the thermal desorption spectra using a model incorporating the behavior of vacancies and vacancy clusters. The model considered up to vacancy cluster $${{V_9}}$$ V 9 , which is composed of nine vacancies, and employed the parameters based on atomistic calculations, including the H trapping energy of vacancies and vacancy clusters that we estimated using the molecular static calculation. As a result, we revealed that the model could, on the whole, reproduce the experimental spectra, except two characteristic differences, and also the dependence of the spectra on the aging temperature. By examining the cause of the differences, the possibilities that the diffusion of clusters of $${V_2}$$ V 2 and $${V_3}$$ V 3 is slower than the model and that vacancy clusters are generated by applying strain and H charging concurrently were indicated.

Moisture-dependent orthotropic viscoelastic properties of Chinese fir wood during quenching in the temperature range of 20 to −120°C

An understanding of wood’s moisture-dependent viscoelastic properties under various temperature conditions is important for assessing its utilization and product quality. In this study, we investigated the influence of moisture content (MC) on the orthotropic viscoelasticity of Chinese fir wood (Cunninghamia lanceolata [Lamb.] Hook.) during quenching ranging from 20 to −120°C. The storage modulus (E′) and loss factor (tan δ) of the longitudinal (L), radial (R) and tangential (T) specimens were determined for nine MC levels ranging from 0.6 to 60.0%. The results showed that E′ generally decreased with increasing amount of bound water in all orthotropic directions, regardless of the temperature. In contrast, a sharp increase in E′ was observed at temperatures below 0°C when free water was present, due to the formation of ice within the cell lumens. The γ-relaxation and β-relaxation were observed in the temperature spectrum. A comparison demonstrates that the β-relaxation showed evident grain orientation. When only bound water was present in the wood cell wall, one clear γ-relaxation was found for all orthotropic directions. In contrast, only the high-temperature side of the γ-relaxation was observed in the three anatomic directions in specimens with free water, which might be related to the amorphous wood cell wall coupling with the frozen free water during the quenching process. In addition, the differences in peak temperatures of the γ-relaxation among the three main directions diminished with increasing bound water.
