Disclination mediated dynamic recrystallization in metals at low temperature.

ABSTRACT: Recrystallization is one of the most important physical phenomena in condensed matter that has been utilized for materials processing for thousands of years in human history. It is generally believed that recrystallization is thermally activated and a minimum temperature must be achieved for the necessary atomic mechanisms to occur. Here, using atomistic simulations, we report a new mechanism of dynamic recrystallization that can operate at temperature as low as T = 10 K in metals during deformation. In contrast to previously proposed dislocation-based models, this mechanism relies on the generation of disclination quadrupoles, which are special defects that form during deformation when the grain boundary migration is restricted by structural defects such as triple junctions, cracks or obstacles. This mechanism offers an alternative explanation for the grain refinement in metals during severe plastic deformation at cryogenic temperature and may suggest a new method to tailor the microstructure in general crystalline materials.

Low-Temperature Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Operating at Physiological Temperature.

Project description:Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is one of the most widely used isothermal amplification technologies in molecular diagnostics. However, LAMP operates at a high temperature of 65 °C; thus, operating LAMP at a lower temperature is desirable to maximize its usefulness for on-site diagnosis. In this study, we propose a new version of LAMP, termed low-temperature LAMP, which operates at the physiological temperature of 37 °C. Low-temperature LAMP differs from conventional LAMP operating at 65 °C in terms of the concentrations of MgSO4 and deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs), as well as the lengths of DNA probes, which are crucial for the execution of low-temperature LAMP. Under the optimal conditions, the amplification efficiency of low-temperature LAMP is comparable to that of conventional LAMP. In addition, the ligation reaction at 37 °C, which is necessary to detect actual target nucleic acids, is combined without altering the temperature, enabling the identification of miR-21, a cancer-promoting oncogenic miRNA, with high sensitivity and selectivity. The method described in this paper does not require expensive DNA modifications or special additives and would facilitate the widespread application of LAMP in facility-limited or point-of-care settings, paving the way to improvements in other isothermal-amplification-based techniques.

Observation of nonlinear disclination states.

Project description:Introduction of controllable deformations into periodic materials that lead to disclinations in their structure opens novel routes for construction of higher-order topological insulators hosting topological states at disclinations. Appearance of these topological states is consistent with the bulk-disclination correspondence principle, and is due to the filling anomaly that results in fractional charges to the boundary unit cells. So far, topological disclination states were observed only in the linear regime, while the interplay between nonlinearity and topology in the systems with disclinations has been never studied experimentally. We report here on the experimental observation of the nonlinear photonic disclination states in waveguide arrays with pentagonal or heptagonal disclination cores inscribed in transparent optical medium using the fs-laser writing technique. The transition between nontopological and topological phases in such structures is controlled by the Kekulé distortion coefficient r with topological phase hosting simultaneously disclination states at the inner disclination core and spatially separated from them corner-I, corner-II, and extended edge states at the outer edge of the structure. We show that the robust nonlinear disclination states bifurcate from their linear counterparts and that location of their propagation constants in the gap and, hence, their spatial localization can be controlled by their power. Nonlinear disclination states can be efficiently excited by Gaussian input beams, but only if they are focused into the waveguides belonging to the disclination core, where such topological states reside. Our results open new prospects for investigation of nonlinear effects in topological systems with disclinations and are relevant for different areas of science, including Bose-Einstein and polariton condensates, where potentials with the disclinations can be created.

Dynamic Recrystallization Behavior and Processing Map of the 6082 Aluminum Alloy.

Project description:Multiple hot-compression tests were carried out on the 6082 aluminum (Al) alloy using a Gleeble-1500 thermal simulation testing machine. Data on flow stresses of the 6082 Al alloy at deformation temperatures of 623 to 773 K and strain rates from 0.01 to 5 s-1 were attained. Utilizing electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and a transmission electron microscope (TEM), the dynamic recrystallization behaviors of the 6082 Al alloy during hot compression in isothermal conditions were explored. With the test data, a hot-working processing map for the 6082 Al alloy (based on dynamic material modeling (DMM)) was drawn. Using the work-hardening rate, the initial critical strain causing dynamic recrystallization was determined, and an equation for the critical strain was constructed. A dynamic model for the dynamic recrystallization of the 6082 Al alloy was established using analyses and test results from the EBSD. The results showed that the safe processing zone (with a high efficiency of power dissipation) mainly corresponded to a zone with deformation temperatures of 703 to 763 K and strain rates of 0.1 to 0.3 s-1. The alloy was mainly subjected to continuous dynamic recrystallization in the formation of the zone. According to the hot-working processing map and an analysis of the microstructures, it is advised that the following technological parameters be selected for the 6082 Al alloy during hot-forming: a range of temperatures between 713 and 753 K and strain rates between 0.1 and 0.2 s-1.

Constitutive Models for Dynamic Strain Aging in Metals: Strain Rate and Temperature Dependences on the Flow Stress.

Project description:A new constitutive model for Q235B structural steel is proposed, incorporating the effect of dynamic strain aging. Dynamic strain aging hugely affects the microstructural behavior of metallic compounds, in turn leading to significant alterations in their macroscopic mechanical response. Therefore, a constitutive model must incorporate the effect of dynamic strain aging to accurately predict thermo-mechanical deformation processes. The proposed model assumes the overall response of the material as a combination of three contributions: athermal, thermally activated, and dynamic strain aging stress components. The dynamic strain aging is approached by two alternative mathematical expressions: (i) model I: rate-independent model; (ii) model II: rate-dependent model. The proposed model is finally used to study the mechanical response of Q235B steel for a wide range of loading conditions, from quasi-static loading ( ? ? = 0.001   s - 1 and ? ? = 0.02   s - 1 ) to dynamic loading ( ? ? = 800   s - 1 and ? ? = 7000   s - 1 ), and across a broad range of temperatures ( 93   K - 1173   K ). The results from this work highlight the importance of considering strain-rate dependences (model II) to provide reliable predictions under dynamic loading scenarios. In this regard, rate-independent approaches (model I) are rather limited to quasi-static loading.

Combination of dynamic transformation and dynamic recrystallization for realizing ultrafine-grained steels with superior mechanical properties.

Project description:Dynamic recrystallization (DRX) is an important grain refinement mechanism to fabricate steels with high strength and high ductility (toughness). The conventional DRX mechanism has reached the limitation of refining grains to several microns even though employing high-strain deformation. Here we show a DRX phenomenon occurring in the dynamically transformed (DT) ferrite, by which the required strain for the operation of DRX and the formation of ultrafine grains is significantly reduced. The DRX of DT ferrite shows an unconventional temperature dependence, which suggests an optimal condition for grain refinement. We further show that new strategies for ultra grain refinement can be evoked by combining DT and DRX mechanisms, based on which fully ultrafine microstructures having a mean grain size down to 0.35 microns can be obtained without high-strain deformation and exhibit superior mechanical properties. This study will open the door to achieving optimal grain refinement to nanoscale in a variety of steels requiring no high-strain deformation in practical industrial application.

Investigation of nucleation processes during dynamic recrystallization of ice using cryo-EBSD.

Project description:Nucleation mechanisms occurring during dynamic recrystallization play a crucial role in the evolution of microstructures and textures during high temperature deformation. In polycrystalline ice, the strong viscoplastic anisotropy induces high strain heterogeneities between grains which control the recrystallization mechanisms. Here, we study the nucleation mechanisms occurring during creep tests performed on polycrystalline columnar ice at high temperature and stress (T=-5°C;σ=0.5 MPa) by post-mortem analyses of deformation microstructures using cryogenic electron backscatter diffraction. The columnar geometry of the samples enables discrimination of the nuclei from the initial grains. Various nucleation mechanisms are deduced from the analysis of the nuclei relations with the dislocation sub-structures within grains and at grain boundaries. Tilt sub-grain boundaries and kink bands are the main structures responsible for development of polygonization and mosaic sub-structures. Nucleation by bulging at serrated grain boundaries is also an efficient nucleation mechanism near the grain boundaries where strain incompatibilities are high. Observation of nuclei with orientations not related to the 'parent' ones suggests the possibility of 'spontaneous' nucleation driven by the relaxation of the dislocation-related internal stress field. The complexity of the nucleation mechanisms observed here emphasizes the impact of stress and strain heterogeneities on dynamic recrystallization mechanisms.This article is part of the themed issue 'Microdynamics of ice'.

Role of orthopyroxene in rheological weakening of the lithosphere via dynamic recrystallization.

Project description:For plate tectonics to operate on a terrestrial planet, the surface layer (the lithosphere) must have a modest strength (Earth, ≤ 200 MPa), but a standard strength profile based on olivine far exceeds this threshold value. Consequently, it is essential to identify mechanisms that reduce the strength of the lithosphere on Earth. Here we report results of high-strain laboratory deformation experiments on a representative olivine-orthopyroxene composition that show the addition of orthopyroxene substantially reduces the strength in the ductile regime within a certain temperature window. The reduction in strength is associated with the formation of small orthopyroxene and olivine grains. Our samples show heterogeneous microstructures similar to those observed in natural peridotites in shear zones: fine-grained regions containing both orthopyroxene and olivine that form interconnected bands where a large fraction of strain is accommodated. A model is developed to apply these results to geological conditions. Such a model, combined with our experimental observations, suggests that orthopyroxene may play a key role in the plastic deformation of the lithosphere in a critical temperature range, leading to long-term weakening associated with strain localization in the lithosphere.

Vortex solitons in topological disclination lattices.

Project description:The existence of thresholdless vortex solitons trapped at the core of disclination lattices that realize higher-order topological insulators is reported. The study demonstrates the interplay between nonlinearity and higher-order topology in these systems, as the vortex state in the disclination lattice bifurcates from its linear topological counterpart, while the position of its propagation constant within the bandgap and localization can be controlled by its power. It is shown that vortex solitons are characterized by strong field confinement at the disclination core due to their topological nature, leading to enhanced stability. Simultaneously, the global discrete rotational symmetry of the disclination lattice imposes restrictions on the maximal possible topological charge of such vortex solitons. The results illustrate the strong stabilizing action that topologically nontrivial structures may exert on excited soliton states, opening new prospects for soliton-related applications.

Dynamic Changes in Seed Germination under Low-Temperature Stress in Maize.

Project description:Low-temperature stress delays seed germination in maize. Different maize inbred lines display various low-temperature resistance, but the dynamic changes in seed germination under low-temperature stress in maize remain unknown, especially at the transcriptome level. In this study, low-temperature-resistant maize (RM) inbred line 04Qun0522-1-1 had a significantly faster germination speed than low-temperature-sensitive maize (SM) line B283-1 under low-temperature stress. Moreover, the total antioxidant capacity, superoxide dismutase, and peroxidase activities were notably higher in the RM line than in the SM line from 3 to 6 d. In contrast, the SM line showed significantly higher malondialdehyde (MDA) content than the RM line at 6 d. Gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis showed that in 2dvs0d, both SM and RM lines displayed the downregulation of ribosome-related genes. Moreover, photosystem II and heat shock protein binding-related genes were also downregulated in the SM line. In 4dvs2d, the RM line showed a higher degree of upregulation of the ribosome and peroxidase (POD)-related genes than the SM line. In 6dvs4d, POD-related genes were continuously upregulated in both SM and RM lines, but the degree of upregulation of the genes was higher in the SM line than in the RM line. Moreover, vitamin B6-related genes were specifically upregulated in the RM line. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis showed that in 6dvs4d, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis was the most significantly enriched pathway in both SM and RM lines. Moreover, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis was also enriched in the RM line in 4dvs2d. More than half of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis were peroxidase, and the DEGs were similar to the GO enrichment analysis. The results provide new insights into maize seed germination in response to low-temperature stress.
