Recently, Prof. Wen Bin, Professor of the State Key Laboratory of Metastable Materials Preparation Technology and Science of Yanshan University, cooperated with scientists at home and abroad to make important progress in the research on the hardness mechanism of nano twinned diamonds. The research results are “Dislocation behaviors in nanotwinnedâ€. Diamond" (Nano-Crystal Diamond Dislocation Behavior) was published online September 21, 2018 on Science Advances.
Diamond is the hardest material in nature and is widely used in many fields such as scientific research and industry. In 2014, the research group of Professor Yan Yongjun of Yanshan University passed the compression of onion carbon to synthesize nano twinned diamond, which has twice the hardness of single crystal diamond, creating a new world record of material hardness, but the hardening mechanism is still unclear. How to understand the superhard mechanism of nanodiamonds has become a major topic in the research of superhard materials. Through the study of superhard mechanism, not only the understanding of the nature of hardness has important scientific significance, but also can provide new strategies for designing new materials with higher hardness. In response to this problem, the researchers first divided the slip of dislocation into three modes by analyzing the dislocation properties in nano twinned diamond: plug-in penetration mode, restricted slip mode and parallel twin boundary slip. mode. Then, by the molecular dynamics method, the critical shear stress of each of the three dislocation slip modes is calculated (Fig. 1). Finally, according to the Sachs model, the hardness of nano twinned diamonds with different twin thicknesses was obtained, and the calculated values ​​were in good agreement with the experimental results (Fig. 2). The results of this study show that the high hardness of nano twinned diamond depends mainly on two factors: one is the high lattice friction of diamond, and the other is the high non-thermally activated stress caused by the Holpech effect.

Site Selection for Mass Flow Meter Installation
a) Sensor stays away from mechanical vibration source, for example, pump. Use flexible pipe to connect meter with pipeline if inevitable. The housing of meter must be standalone, out of touch with any other device. There must be 3 times the size of sensor between 2 sensors if there are many flow meters on the same pipeline, to avoid resonance.
b) Do not install sensor on pipeline that easily expands with hot and contracts with cold, especially near expansion joint, which leads to a worse stability.
c) Sensor stays away from industrial electromagnetic field, such as large generator and transformer, better 5m at least. Such device influences the performance of drive coil and pickoffs. Make sure magnetic field intensity less than 400A/m.
d) Sensor shall be installed on lower pipeline, to be easily full of fluid.
e) Make sure Ex-mark meet application requirements if in hazardous area.
f) Build a sunshade if the meter is under direct solar radiation. g) Keep the meter from corrosive liquid.
