However, the synthesis of CMPs usually needs expensive metal-based catalysts. Herein, we report a metal-free synthetic route to fabricate pyridyl conjugated microporous polymers(PCMPs) via a condensed polymerization between aldehyde and aryl ketone monomers. The PCMPs show widely tunable specific surface areas(347–418 m^(2)/g), which were controlled via changing the used monomers. The PCMPs synthesized using monomers of dialdehyde and diacetylbenzene(diacetylpyridine) in the presence of pyridine exhibited the highest visible-light driven hydrogen evolution rate(9.56 μmol/h). These novel designed PCMPs provide wide adaptability to current materials designed for high-performance photocatalysts in different applications.展开更多

Specifically, there has not been a comparative study of the three different 1D PhC structures to compare the influence of layer thickness, number, and refractive index on the ability of the PhCs to control light transmission. Herein, we use the transfer matrix method (TMM) to theoretically examine the transmission of 1D PhCs composed of layers of TiO<sub>2</sub>/SiO<sub>2</sub>, TiO<sub>2</sub>/SnO<sub>2</sub>, SiO<sub>2</sub>/SnO<sub>2</sub>, and combinations of the three with various top and bottom layer thicknesses to cover a substantial region of the electromagnetic spectrum (UV to NIR). With increasing layer numbers for TiO<sub>2</sub>/SiO<sub>2</sub> and SiO<sub>2</sub>/SnO<sub>2</sub>, the edges became sharper and wider and the photonic bandgap width increased. Moreover, we demonstrated that PhCs with significantly thick TiO<sub>2</sub>/SiO<sub>2</sub> layers had a high transmittance for a wide bandgap, allowing for wide-band optical filter applications. These different PhC architectures could enable a variety of applications, depending on the properties needed.展开更多

Enhancement-mode(E-mode) MOSFET was fabricated based on β-Ga_(2)O_(3) film grown by atomic layer deposition technology, and the β-Ga_(2)O_(3) inverter was further monolithically integrated on this basis. The β-Ga_(2)O_(3) n MOSFET exhibits excellent electrical characteristics with an on/off current ratio reaching 10^(5). The logic inverter shows outstanding voltage inversion characteristics under low-frequency from 1 to 400 Hz operation. As the frequency continues to increase to 10 K, the reverse characteristic becomes worse due to parasitic capacitance induced by processes, and the difference between the highest and lowest values of VOUT has an exponential decay relationship with the frequency. This paper provides the practice for the development of β-Ga_(2)O_(3)-based circuits.展开更多

However, the bandgaps observed in the transport experiments reported in the literature are far smaller than both the theoretical predictions and the bandgaps extracted from optical measurements. In this study, we investigate the factors preventing the formation of large bandgaps and demonstrate that a -200-meV transport bandgap can be opened in BLG by scaling the gate dielectric and employing a ribbon channel to suppress the percolative transport. This is the largest transport bandgap that has been achieved in BLG to date.展开更多

文摘Local resonant acoustic metamaterials have broad applications in sound insulation,yet their single-configuration designs often exhibit limited and discontinuous bandgap widths,hindering full-frequency noise attenuation across the human auditory range.This study presents a double-phase fidget-spinner-shaped acoustic metamaterial(DFAM),specifically designed to achieve an ultra-broad,low-frequency continuous bandgap by means of synergistic structural optimization,enabling effective and robust control of audible noise.Based on Bloch's theorem and the finite element method,the dispersion relation of the DFAM structure is calculated and verified by the transmission loss curves.The propagation characteristics of sound waves within the structure are further analyzed for noise frequencies that fall within the passband.The influence of the geometric and physical parameters on the bandgap is investigated,and the corresponding transmission loss in the propagation direction is further calculated.A hybrid collaborative design strategy,leveraging multi-parameter optimization and bandgap complementarity,is developed to construct a metastructure with continuous bandgap coverage from 20 Hz to 1000 Hz.The resulting metastructure demonstrates exceptional broadband noise attenuation,achieving a total bandgap width of 876.3 Hz(87.63% of the target range)with the transmission loss up to-762.78 d B in a three-periodic arrangement.The simulation and experimental results for the transmission loss of the DFAM metastructure show strong agreement in the low-frequency range.This work provides a novel framework for designing ultra-wide low-frequency continuous bandgap metastructures,offering significant potential for noise mitigation in complex environments.

文摘β-Ga_(2)O_(3) MOS inverter should play a crucial role in β-Ga_(2)O_(3) electronic circuits. Enhancement-mode(E-mode) MOSFET was fabricated based on β-Ga_(2)O_(3) film grown by atomic layer deposition technology, and the β-Ga_(2)O_(3) inverter was further monolithically integrated on this basis. The β-Ga_(2)O_(3) n MOSFET exhibits excellent electrical characteristics with an on/off current ratio reaching 10^(5). The logic inverter shows outstanding voltage inversion characteristics under low-frequency from 1 to 400 Hz operation. As the frequency continues to increase to 10 K, the reverse characteristic becomes worse due to parasitic capacitance induced by processes, and the difference between the highest and lowest values of VOUT has an exponential decay relationship with the frequency. This paper provides the practice for the development of β-Ga_(2)O_(3)-based circuits.
文摘Since opening sizable bandgaps in bilayer graphene （BLG） was proven possible, BLG has attracted considerable attention as a promising high-mobility candidate material for many electronic and optoelectronic applications. However, the bandgaps observed in the transport experiments reported in the literature are far smaller than both the theoretical predictions and the bandgaps extracted from optical measurements. In this study, we investigate the factors preventing the formation of large bandgaps and demonstrate that a -200-meV transport bandgap can be opened in BLG by scaling the gate dielectric and employing a ribbon channel to suppress the percolative transport. This is the largest transport bandgap that has been achieved in BLG to date.
文摘This paper studies the bandgap characteristics of a locally resonant metamaterial beam with time delays.The dispersion relations are addressed based on transfer matrix method.The governing equations of motion of the beam in the frequency domain are given according to spectral element method.The amplitude-frequency responses of the forced beam are determined by solving linear algebraic equations.The obtained results show that the time-delayed feedback control has great relationships with the location,width and number of the bandgaps.It is interesting that the time delay can change the direction of the movement of the bandgap and give rise to the generation of multiple bandgaps.The influences of different combinations of control parameters on the bandgap properties are shown,such as broadening effects.

文摘This paper introduces a high-precision bandgap reference(BGR)designed for battery management systems(BMS),fea-turing an ultra-low temperature coefficient(TC)and line sensitivity(LS).The BGR employs a current-mode scheme with chopped op-amps and internal clock generators to eliminate op-amp offset.A low dropout regulator(LDO)and a pre-regula-tor enhance output driving and LS,respectively.Curvature compensation enhances the TC by addressing higher-order nonlinear-ity.These approaches,effective near room temperature,employs trimming at both 20 and 60°C.When combined with fixed cur-vature correction currents,it achieves an ultra-low TC for each chip.Implemented in a CMOS 180 nm process,the BGR occu-pies 0.548 mm²and operates at 2.5 V with 84μA current draw from a 5 V supply.An average TC of 2.69 ppm/℃ with two-point trimming and 0.81 ppm/℃ with multi-point trimming are achieved over the temperature range of-40 to 125℃.It accommo-dates a load current of 1 mA and an LS of 42 ppm/V,making it suitable for precise BMS applications.
文摘Acceptor-donor-acceptor(A-D-A)type molecules,of which the novel non-fused azacyclic end-group pyrazoli-nones were modified with chlorine substitution on the phenyl ring,were synthesized.The non-fused azacyclic end-group py-razolinones have the advantages of simple synthesis steps,low cost and environmental friendliness,compared to the classical end-group dicyanomethyleneindianone.The properties of the synthesized A-D-A type molecules with non-fused azacyclic end groups were characterized by theoretical calculation,UV-vis absorption,cyclic voltammetry,X-ray diffraction and space charge limited current.It is shown that the strong UV-vis absorptions of the synthesized A-D-A type molecules are located in the wavelength range of 500~700 nm,with a moderate band gap of nearly 1.7 eV.At the same time,the influence of end-group chlorination on the properties of A-D-A type molecules was compared and explored.It is proven that this kind of A-D-A type molecule with non-fused azacyclic end groups has the potential to be applied as interfacial modified layer of the active layer in perovskite solar cell devices.

文摘The wide band gap characteristics of gallium oxide make it very suitable for the preparation of solar-blind ultra-violet photodetectors.The responsivity of ultraviolet photodetectors based on thin films is often low.However,nanomaterials have excellent photoelectric properties in device applications due to the high stability brought by high specific surface area and high crystal quality.Here,we successfully depositedβ-Ga_(2)O_(3) nanopores on the double-pass ordered porous AAO tem-plate by PLD.The porous AAO template is used as the growth space of nanomaterials,and the gallium oxide material is filled into the pores of the template to form a nanotube structure.By optimizing the preparation process,the relationship be-tween the performance of gallium oxide nanopores and the growth time was studied in depth.With the increase of growth time,the responsivity of the detector was improved.The rise timeτr=0.7 s,the decay timeτ_(d)=1.3 s,and the responsivity reached 4.63 mA·W^(-1),which was higher than 2.24 mA·W^(-1)of the responsivity of silicon-based gallium oxide nanorods.

文摘Reducing the vibration transmission in beams is of significant interest,as beams are among the most widely used basic structures in numerous practical engineering applications.However,achieving broadband suppression of multi-polarization low-frequency vibration in beams presents a challenge.This study proposes a single-phase multi-resonant metabeam,which consists of a host beam with subwavelength arrays of tunable local resonators.These resonators exhibit adjustable multi-polarization resonant modes that strongly couple with the host beam,enabling simultaneous suppression of multi-type waves over a broad frequency range.The theoretical analysis demonstrates that under the fixed total added-mass ratio(γ_(total)=1.5),the tailored frequency spacing(δ=25-50 Hz)and the controlled loss factor(η=0.03–0.07)act synergistically to broaden bandgaps through resonant zone overlapping and attenuation peak smoothing.The experimental validation with monolithic three-dimensional(3D)-printed specimens confirms the efficacy of this design in multi-polarization vibration control within a deepsubwavelength bandgap,opening a new avenue for designing multi-polarization vibration suppression structures.
