Spot Motion

AbstractThe motion is depicted as a sequence of steps of a finite residence time.The spot motion affects essentially only the energy characteristics Te which in comparison to the stationary characteristics Tes are shifted to smaller values. Hereby the critical currents I0, I1 are raised in comparison to the corresponding stationary limits I0s, I1s. Particularly attractive are the phenomena found in connection with the dependence of the spot velocity ʋ on the spot current I. If the spot velocity increases with the spot current stronger than ʋ ∞ I1/2 then the E-diagram reveals the existence of an upper limit lu for the spot current. This result can be used to explain qualitatively the experimentally observed phenomena of "spot multiplicity" and “spot extinction”.Quantitative conclusions are obstructed by the lack of knowledge about the velocity dependence on the spot current, ʋ(I). Experimental and theoretical studies to provide a better understanding of the physical background and the analytical laws describing the motion of the cathode spots are urgently needed.

Abstract Earthquake magnitude is closely related to the depth extent of the seismogenic zone, and higher magnitude earthquakes occur where the seismogenic zone is thicker. The frictional properties of the dominant mineral constituents of the crust, such as feldspar-group minerals, control the depth extent of the seismogenic zone. Here, the velocity dependence of the steady-state friction of anorthite, the calcic endmember of the feldspar mineral series, was measured at temperatures from 20 to 600 °C, pore pressures of 0 (“dry”) and 50 MPa (“wet”), and an effective pressure of 150 MPa. The results support previous findings that the frictional properties of feldspar play a dominant role in limiting the depth extent of the seismogenic zone. This evidence suggests that brittle deformation of anorthite may be responsible for brittle fault movements in the brittle–plastic transition zone.

The effect of vacancy defects on the structure and mechanical properties of semiconductor silicon materials is of great significance to the development of novel microelectronic materials and the processes of semiconductor sensors. In this paper, molecular dynamics is used to simulate the atomic packing structure, local stress evolution and mechanical properties of a perfect lattice and silicon crystal with a single vacancy defect on heating. In addition, their influences on the change in Young’s modulus are also analyzed. The atomic simulations show that in the lower temperature range, the existence of vacancy defects reduces the Young’s modulus of the silicon lattice. With the increase in temperature, the local stress distribution of the atoms in the lattice changes due to the migration of the vacancy. At high temperatures, the Young’s modulus of the silicon lattice changes in anisotropic patterns. For the lattice with the vacancy, when the temperature is higher than 1500 K, the number and degree of distortion in the lattice increase significantly, the obvious single vacancy and its adjacent atoms contracting inward structure disappears and the defects in the lattice present complex patterns. By applying uniaxial tensile force, it can be found that the temperature has a significant effect on the elasticity–plasticity behaviors of the Si lattice with the vacancy.
