摘要： We describe a search for gravitational waves from compact binaries with at least one component with mass 0.2 $M_\odot$ -- $1.0 M_\odot$ and mass ratio $q \geq 0.1$ in Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo data collected between 1 November 2019, 15:00 UTC and 27 March 2020, 17:00 UTC. No signals were detected. The most significant candidate has a false alarm rate of 0.2 $\mathrm{yr}^{-1}$. We estimate the sensitivity of our search over the entirety of Advanced LIGO's and Advanced Virgo's third observing run, and present the most stringent limits to date on the merger rate of binary black holes with at least one subsolar-mass component. We use the upper limits to constrain two fiducial scenarios that could produce subsolar-mass black holes: primordial black holes (PBH) and a model of dissipative dark matter. The PBH model uses recent prescriptions for the merger rate of PBH binaries that include a rate suppression factor to effectively account for PBH early binary disruptions. If the PBHs are monochromatically distributed, we can exclude a dark matter fraction in PBHs $f_\mathrm{PBH} \gtrsim 0.6$ (at 90% confidence) in the probed subsolar-mass range. However, if we allow for broad PBH mass distributions we are unable to rule out $f_\mathrm{PBH} = 1$. For the dissipative model, where the dark matter has chemistry that allows a small fraction to cool and collapse into black holes, we find an upper bound $f_{\mathrm{DBH}} < 10^{-5}$ on the fraction of atomic dark matter collapsed into black holes.

摘要： The phase transformation in two modes, including both displacive and massive growth of τ-phase from ε-MnAl(C), was in situ observed. Temperature dependence of magnetization curves of MnAl(C) under magnetic field were employed for the first time to determine the triggering temperatures of different phase transformation modes. The displacive growth of ε→τ in MnAl(MnAlC) occurs at temperatures below 650 K(766 K), above which both modes coexist. One third or less of the ε-phase can be transformed into τ via displacive mode while the remaining two thirds or more via massive mode. Most large τ-grains formed via massive mode are actually containing a large number of well-distributed τ-nanocrystallline formed via displacive mode. The typical massive growth rate of the τ-phase is 8-60 nm/s, while the displacive growth rate is quite low. The doping of C to MnAl prevents the growth of ε-phase along the basal plane and thus increases the activation temperatures of the phase transformations and the decomposition of τ-phase. Pure τ-phase with highest magnetizations up to 118.3 Am2/kg was obtained. No decomposition was observed in τ-MnAl and τ-MnAl(C) after long-time annealing at selected temperatures, which are crucial in preventing the metastable τ phase from decomposition. These results provide a more complete understanding of the ε→τ phase transformations and thus facilitate the development of high-performance MnAl-based magnets.
