The electromagnetic railgun is a new concept weapon that uses Loren magnetic to accelerate the projectile to super high-sonic speed instantaneously. The initial velocity of the projectile muzzle can reach 2km/s or more in an instant. The projectile launched by the electromagnetic railgun has a high speed and thus has a strong kinetic energy to impact the target. According to the principle of force, when the weapon system pushes the armature, the recoil part will be subjected to a force in the opposite direction, that is, the combined force of the gun. If there is no anti-rear device, the force will generate strong vibration excitation to the launching frame, affecting the shooting intensity of the projectile. In order to reduce the influence of the squat resistance of the electromagnetic weapon on the accuracy of the weapon system, the model of the anti-rear device of the electromagnetic weapon is established. The simulation analysis and experimental verification are carried out. The simulation structure and experimental data are in good agreement.
Following the success of graphene and boron nitride, two-dimensional (2D) layered metal chalcogenides are being intensely investigated for their electrical, chemical, and optical properties. For example, Bi2Se3 and Bi2Te3 are recently discovered topological insulators [1] while MoS 2 is a promising catalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) [2,3]. The layered crystal structure provides a unique opportunity to tune the materials properties by intercalation, a chemical process to insert guest species at the van der Waals gap [4,5] (Figure 1A, schematic).Dielectric properties of these metal chalcogenides are such that both dielectric photonic and surface plasmonic modes can be supported in ultrathin chalcogenide nanoplates. Using intercalation, we demonstrate that the optical and plasmonic properties of chalcogenide nanoplates can be tuned [6]. Monochromated electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) was used to directly image the propagation of the optical and plasmonic modes in chalcogenide nanoplates and to correlate changes in the optical and plasmonic modal properties as a function of intercalation. Monochromated EELS is the ideal technique [7] because it provides nanoscale resolution so that individual nanoplates can be tracked and studied before and after intercalation.First, I will discuss the dispersion relation in momentum space, obtained from the real space EELS mapping of the optical and plasmon mode propagations ( Figure 1C-1H). Second, I will demonstrate the tuning of the optical and plasmonic modes by controlling the thickness of the nanoplates. Third, the optical and plasmonic modes will be tuned by changing the composition of the ternary chalcogenide nanoplates. Lastly and most importantly, I will show how the optical modes change in Bi 2 Se 3 nanoplates with pyridine, nitrobenzene, and dodecylamine intercalation (Figure 2). The demonstration of tunable optical and plasmonic properties of 2D layered metal chalcogenides by intercalation points to a novel route to make atomic-scale metamaterials where the host chalcogenide and the intercalant exhibit two distinct dielectric properties. Anticipated functionality or applications of atomic-scale metamaterials may be quantum plasmonic effects or indefinite metamaterials. Monochromated EELS that gives nanoscale resolution is the ideal method to study these systems.[1] H.
