We derive the expected precision, accuracy and computation cost of this improved method, and examine these performances by simulation. By comparing this method with the nonlinear least square fitting (NLSF) method and the linear regression of the sum (LRS) method in derivations and simulations, we find that this method can achieve the same or even better precision, comparable accuracy, and lower computation cost. We test this method by experimental decay signals. The results are in agreement with the ones obtained from the nonlinear least square fitting method.展开更多

The ytterbium aluminum garnets were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra, photoluminescence spectra and decay curves. Moreover, the substitution effect for the Al^3+ sites with Ga^3+ in 0.5 at%Ce:Yb3 Al(5-x)GaxO(12)(x = 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5) garnets were discussed. With the increase of Ga^3+ ion concentration, the visible absorption peaks within 400-450 nm have blue shift phenomenon,while the absorption peaks in the range of 330-350 nm and the absorption band edge red shifts.Furthermore, the short decay times are very short with less than 10 ns due to the Yb^3+ + Ce^3+→ Yb^2+ + Ce^4+ electron transfer reaction.展开更多

Starting with the most sophisticated and complete MRS formulation, we give a detailed view on how to solve the equation, i.e., inverting exactly for all model parameters: water content, decay time, and resistivity. Giving a short review of general inversion schemes used in geophysics, the special properties of MRS inversion are evaluated and the development of MRS inversion over recent years is shown. We present the extension of MRS to magnetic resonance tomography (MRT), i.e., the extension to two-dimensional investigations and appropriate inversions. Finally, we address restrictions, limitations, and inconsistencies as well as future developments.展开更多

However, adjacent to the focal region is ‘penumbra', where residual blood flow remains oxygen and glucose supplies are at low levels. To model this pathological genesis, we developed a partial OGD (pOGD) protocol in a rat brain slice. This model met two requirements: oxygen was partially deprived and glucose was reduced in the perfusion buffer. Therefore we investigated the effect of pOGD on gama-aminobutyric acid (GABAA) receptor-mediated inhibitory postsynaptic currents (IPSCs) in CA1 neurons of a hippocampal slice through whole-cell patch-clamp technique. We found that the amplitude and decay time of IPSCs were increased immediately during pOGD treatment. And the enhancement of IPSCs amplitude resulted from an increase of the synaptic conductance without a significant change in the reversal potential of chloride. These results suggested that the nervous system could increase inhibitory neurotransmission to offset excitation by homeostasis mechanisms during the partial oxygen and glucose attack.展开更多

The pure K2GeF6 phase with P63 mc space group other than P3m1 space group was affirmed just by incorporation of Si in K2GeF6 at room temperature according to XRD characterization. SEM images showed lamellar and octahedron grain morphology for K2GeF6:Mn^4+ and K2(Ge,Si)F6:Mn^4+ phosphors, respectively. It was also found that the photoluminescence excitation(PLE) and photoluminescence(PL) showed slight displacement in K2GeF6:Mn^4+ and K2(Ge,Si)F6:Mn^4+ system. And the zero-phonon line(ZPL) of the PL spectrum of K2GeF6:Mn^4+ with Si showed a strong peak. Meanwhile crystalline field surrounding Mn^4+ changes could affect the decay time in this fluoride system. The color gamut of the LED devices based on K2(Ge,Si)F6:Mn^4+ and K2GeF6:Mn^4+ reached up to 94.58% NTSC(National Television Standards Committee) and 94.386% NTSC, respectively, that was much higher than that based on nitride red phosphors. All these original characteristics in K2(Ge,Si)F6:Mn^4+ phosphor are desirable for potential applications as a red phosphor for improving lighting and display quality of conventional white LEDs.展开更多

The structural and luminescence properties of the prepared Eu3+ doped borophosphate glasses were studied and compared with reported results. The XRD pattern showed the amorphous nature of the prepared glasses. Whereas, the FTIR spectra revealed the vibrational modes in the prepared glasses. The bonding parameters( β and ?) were calculated through the excitation spectra. Judd-Ofelt(J-O) intensity parameters were calculated from the emission spectra and were used to determine transition probability(A), stimulated emission cross-section(σE P), radiative lifetime(τR) and branching ratios(βexp) for the transition 5D0→7Fj(j=1, 2, 3 and 4) of Eu3+ ions. Furthermore, the luminescence intensity ratio(R) of 5D0→7F2 to 5D0→7F1 transition was also calculated. Transition 5D0→7F2 had the highest value of stimulated emission cross-section and branching ratios and the results were comparable with the reported values. This indicated that the present glass is promising host material for Eu3+ doped fiber amplifiers.展开更多

The temperature dependent luminescence spectra were measured using a 265 nm laser as an exciting source in the range of 10-300 K. The scintillation decay time profile was measured and found to have three components. The influence of the trap centers on the luminescence properties was studied by means of thermoluminescence(TL) glow peak analysis. Low temperature TL glow peaks were measured in the temperature range of 10-300 K at the heating rate of 0.1 K/s for X-ray irradiated sample. The TL glow peak consists of two dominant peaks at 88 and 109 K. Several glow peaks with a complex nature causes the decrease in the light yield at temperatures below 250 K, and along with long scintillation decay components were observed. The trap parameters such as activation energy(E), frequency factor(s)and order of kinetics(b) were calculated using various standard methods such as peak shape(PS),variable heating rate(VHR), initial rise(IR) and computerized glow curve deconvolution(CGCD).展开更多

The fluorescence decay lifetime was calculated by Multi-exponential function fitting method. Results show that UC emission intensity was enhanced with the reduction of grain size, and the decay lifetime is 0.60 us.展开更多

文摘In this paper,we study the global existence and decay rates of strong solutions to the three dimensional compressible Phan-Thein-Tanner model.By a refined energy method,we prove the global existence under the assumption that the H^(3) norm of the initial data is small,but that the higher order derivatives can be large.If the initial data belong to homogeneous Sobolev spaces or homogeneous Besov spaces,we obtain the time decay rates of the solution and its higher order spatial derivatives.Moreover,we also obtain the usual L^(p)-L^(2)(1≤p≤2)type of the decay rate without requiring that the Lpnorm of initial data is small.

文摘In this paper, we study the non-isentropic compressible magnetohydrodynamic system with a time periodic external force in R^n. Under the condition that the optimal time decay rates are obtained by spectral analysis, we show that the existence, uniqueness and time-asymptotic stability of time periodic solutions when the space dimension n 〉 5. Our proof is based on a combination of the energy method and the contraction mapping theorem.
文摘We consider the global existence and decay of integral solutions to the parabolic-parabolic Keller-Segel system in d-dimension.On the one hand,by Banach fixed point theorem and some properties of heat kernel,we prove the local existence and the global existence of integral solutions for the different initial data under some conditions that involve the size of the initial data.On the other hand,in the case of global solutions,we obtain their optimal time decay by Gronwall’s lemma.

文摘In this manuscript,we consider two kinds of the Fokker-Planck-type systems in the whole space.The first part involves proving the global existence and the algebraic time decay rates of the mild solutions to the Fokker-Planck-Boltzmann equation near Maxwellians if initial data satisfies some smallness in the function space L_(k)^(1)L_(T)^(∞)L_(v)^(2)∩L_(k)^(p)L_(T)^(∞)L_(v)^(2).The second part proves the global existence of the mild solutions to the Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck system in the function space L_(k)^(1)L_(T)^(∞)L_(v)^(2),and we also obtain the exponential time decay rates,which are different from the algebraic time decay rates of the Fokker-Planck-Boltzmann equation.Our analysis is based on Lk1LT∞Lv2function space introduced by Duan et al.(Comm Pure Appl Math,2021,74:932-1020),the L_(k)^(1)∩L_(k)^(p) approach developed by Duan et al.(SIAM J Math Anal,2024,56:762-800),and the coercivity property of the Fokker-Planck operator.However,it is worth pointing out that the L_(k)^(1)∩L_(k)^(p)approach is not required for the Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck system,due to the influence of the electric field term,which is different from the Fokker-Planck-Boltzmann equation in this paper and in the work of Duan et al.(SIAM J Math Anal,2024,56:762-800).
文摘Oxygen/glucose deprivation (OGD) has been widely used as an in vitro model of focal ischemia, where the blood flow is severely reduced and neurons rapidly die. However, adjacent to the focal region is ‘penumbra', where residual blood flow remains oxygen and glucose supplies are at low levels. To model this pathological genesis, we developed a partial OGD (pOGD) protocol in a rat brain slice. This model met two requirements: oxygen was partially deprived and glucose was reduced in the perfusion buffer. Therefore we investigated the effect of pOGD on gama-aminobutyric acid (GABAA) receptor-mediated inhibitory postsynaptic currents (IPSCs) in CA1 neurons of a hippocampal slice through whole-cell patch-clamp technique. We found that the amplitude and decay time of IPSCs were increased immediately during pOGD treatment. And the enhancement of IPSCs amplitude resulted from an increase of the synaptic conductance without a significant change in the reversal potential of chloride. These results suggested that the nervous system could increase inhibitory neurotransmission to offset excitation by homeostasis mechanisms during the partial oxygen and glucose attack.

文摘A novel red-emitting K2(Ge,Si)F6:Mn^4+ phosphor with uniform morphology was synthesized by co-precipitation method. The pure K2GeF6 phase with P63 mc space group other than P3m1 space group was affirmed just by incorporation of Si in K2GeF6 at room temperature according to XRD characterization. SEM images showed lamellar and octahedron grain morphology for K2GeF6:Mn^4+ and K2(Ge,Si)F6:Mn^4+ phosphors, respectively. It was also found that the photoluminescence excitation(PLE) and photoluminescence(PL) showed slight displacement in K2GeF6:Mn^4+ and K2(Ge,Si)F6:Mn^4+ system. And the zero-phonon line(ZPL) of the PL spectrum of K2GeF6:Mn^4+ with Si showed a strong peak. Meanwhile crystalline field surrounding Mn^4+ changes could affect the decay time in this fluoride system. The color gamut of the LED devices based on K2(Ge,Si)F6:Mn^4+ and K2GeF6:Mn^4+ reached up to 94.58% NTSC(National Television Standards Committee) and 94.386% NTSC, respectively, that was much higher than that based on nitride red phosphors. All these original characteristics in K2(Ge,Si)F6:Mn^4+ phosphor are desirable for potential applications as a red phosphor for improving lighting and display quality of conventional white LEDs.

文摘Eu3+ doped borophosphate glasses with the chemical composition 20Li2O-30Al2O3-10B2O3-40P2O5-xEu2O3(where x=0.05 mol.%, 0.1 mol.%, 1.0 mol.%, 1.5 mol.% and 2.0 mol.%) were prepared by conventional melt quenching technique. The structural and luminescence properties of the prepared Eu3+ doped borophosphate glasses were studied and compared with reported results. The XRD pattern showed the amorphous nature of the prepared glasses. Whereas, the FTIR spectra revealed the vibrational modes in the prepared glasses. The bonding parameters( β and ?) were calculated through the excitation spectra. Judd-Ofelt(J-O) intensity parameters were calculated from the emission spectra and were used to determine transition probability(A), stimulated emission cross-section(σE P), radiative lifetime(τR) and branching ratios(βexp) for the transition 5D0→7Fj(j=1, 2, 3 and 4) of Eu3+ ions. Furthermore, the luminescence intensity ratio(R) of 5D0→7F2 to 5D0→7F1 transition was also calculated. Transition 5D0→7F2 had the highest value of stimulated emission cross-section and branching ratios and the results were comparable with the reported values. This indicated that the present glass is promising host material for Eu3+ doped fiber amplifiers.

文摘In this article upconversion luminescence of silver nanoparticles(AgNPs) coated NaYF4:Er3+/Yb3+phosphor nano-particles was investigated.The prepared samples were characterized through various techniques.The surface plasmon band is observed for prepared AgNPs by analyzing UV-vis measurements and is used to enhance the upconversion emission.From the upconversion measurement the emission bands are observed at 522,546,and 656 nm corresponding to the 2 H11/2→ 4115/2,4 S3/2→4 I15/2and 4 F9/2→4 I15/2 levels,respectively.The upconversion emission intensity of the above bands is found to enhance for sample containing 1 mmol AgNPs.Decay time of 4 S3/2 and 4F9/2 levels is found to decrease on coating of AgNPs and hence intensity enhancement is assumed due to the surface plasmon resonance(SPR) effect.

文摘The single crystal of this compound has been grown from melt by using a conventional Czochralski technique. The temperature dependent luminescence spectra were measured using a 265 nm laser as an exciting source in the range of 10-300 K. The scintillation decay time profile was measured and found to have three components. The influence of the trap centers on the luminescence properties was studied by means of thermoluminescence(TL) glow peak analysis. Low temperature TL glow peaks were measured in the temperature range of 10-300 K at the heating rate of 0.1 K/s for X-ray irradiated sample. The TL glow peak consists of two dominant peaks at 88 and 109 K. Several glow peaks with a complex nature causes the decrease in the light yield at temperatures below 250 K, and along with long scintillation decay components were observed. The trap parameters such as activation energy(E), frequency factor(s)and order of kinetics(b) were calculated using various standard methods such as peak shape(PS),variable heating rate(VHR), initial rise(IR) and computerized glow curve deconvolution(CGCD).
文摘Upconversion (UC) phosphor Tm3+ doped YF3 nano-erystals were prepared by hydrothermal method under different conditions and characterized by Field Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Their UC luminescence properties were studied by fluorescence spectrophotometer with 980 nm diode laser excitation, and impact of different grain sizes and morphology on the UC luminescence intensity was discussed. The fluorescence decay lifetime was calculated by Multi-exponential function fitting method. Results show that UC emission intensity was enhanced with the reduction of grain size, and the decay lifetime is 0.60 us.
