Study on the Dynamic Properties of Concrete under Freeze-Thaw Cycles and CT Fine View Damage by Liangting Wang, Zhishan Zheng, Zheng Xiahou, Xijian Chao, Ming Xia

“…The results showed the following. (1) The concrete specimens were divided into linear elastic stage, plastic stage, and damage stage under the freeze-thaw cycle, and the macroscopic mechanical parameters of the specimens were weakened with the increase of the number of freeze-thaw cycles. (2) Freeze-thaw intensified the expansion and penetration of the internal fracture of the specimens, and the CT scan results showed that the internal fracture parameters of the concrete specimens were increased with the increase of the number of freeze-thaw cycles, and the structural characteristics of the internal fracture show gradually complex expansion and evolution characteristics. (3) The degree of damage was defined at the fine level, which increased with the number of freeze-thaw cycles, establishing an intrinsic link between the fine deterioration of concrete specimens and the loss of macroscopic parameters under freeze-thaw cycles. …”

Multipolar Anisotropy in Anomalous Hall Effect from Spin-Group Symmetry Breaking by Zheng Liu, Mengjie Wei, Wenzhi Peng, Dazhi Hou, Yang Gao, Qian Niu

“…For the leading order contribution, i.e., the dipole, its isotropic part corresponds to the traditional view, and its anisotropic part can lead to the in-plane AHE where the magnetization lies within the measurement plane. Beyond the dipolar structure, the octupolar structure offers the leading order source of nonlinearity and hence introduces unique anisotropy where the dipolar structure cannot. …”
