Moreover, the microelectronic structure of Mg(OH)2 with point defects in the bulk and on its surface were investigated using the first principles. The simulation results indicate that Mg(OH)2 was easily modified by other cations because of its strong, favorable interstitial and substitution defects via point defect energy calculation. Mg(OH)2 can provide high-efficiency flame retardancy because of the strong OH(OH Schottky defect) or H bond(H Frenkel defect and Schottky defect). The potential model of Mg(OH)2 was established, and molecular dynamics simulation was used to investigate the relations between the crystal structure and the mechanical properties. Mg(OH)2 with special morphology such as nano-sheets was a prior consideration to maintain the composite mechanical properties. The detailed electronic structures of Mg(OH)2 with defects were determined. This work may provide theoretical guidance for choosing dopant element and reveal the element doping mechanism of Mg(OH)2.展开更多

It is found that DVDGr with pure and mixed noble/transition-metal nanoarrays can produce a stronger light absorption due to the coherent resonance of plasmons than graphene nanostructures. Comparing with the mixed Au/Pd nanoarrays, pure Au nanoarrays have stronger plasmonic enhancement. Furthermore, harmonics from the hybrid nanostructures exposed to the combination of lasers ranged from ultraviolet to infrared and a controlling pulse are investigated theoretically. The harmonic plateau can be broadened significantly and the energy of harmonic spectra is dramatically extended by the controlling pulse. Thus, it is possible to tune the width and intensity of harmonic spectrum to achieve broadband absorption of radiation. The methodology described here not only improves the understanding of the surface plasmon effect used in a DVDGr-metal optoelectronic device but also may be applicable to different optical technologies.展开更多

However, compared with autologous nerve grafting, what is the effect of nerve regeneration after repair?OB]EETIVE: To observe the local nervous status of the detected part of sciatic nerve repaired through subcutaneously implanting peripheral nerve allograft, and compare the effect with fresh autologous nerve grafting.DESTGN : Contrast observation.SETTING : Departments of Orthopaedics of Zhengzhou Fifth People's Hospital and First Hospital Affiliated to Chongqing Medical University.MATEREALS : Totally 30 healthy adult Wistar male rats, with body mass of (200±20)g, were enrolled. Optical microscope (Olympus biological microscope BHS, Japan), Electron microscope (H-600, Japan),CM-2000 biomedical image analysis system (CM-2000,Beihang) and myoelectricity scanner (KEYPOINT, Denmark) were used in this experiment.METHODS : This experiment was carried out in the Orthopaedic Laboratory of Chongqing Medical University between October 2000 and April 2002. ① Six rats were chosen as the donors for allogenic nerve grafting, and 15 mm sciatic nerve segment was chosen as graft. The other rats were randomly divided into two groups: allogenic nerve grafting group and autologous nerve grafting group, with 12 rats in each group. In the allogenic nerve grafting group, a skin incision was made on the posterior side of right thigh, and subcutaneous blunt dissection was performed prorsally a little, then allograft was implanted. Two weeks later, sciatic nerve was exposed at the posterior side of left thigh and cut respectively at 5 mm and another 10 mm away from pelvis. The donor nerve (with connective tissue veil) implanted subcutaneously on the right thigh was taken out. Sectioned connective tissue at the proximal end was trimmed and that at the distal end as done but reserved 10 mm in length, and inosculated antegradely at the nerve defect on the left side with 11/0 nylon line. Twelve rats in autologous nerve grafting group underwent a 10 mm sciatic nerve defect inci- sion on the right thigh and implant of fresh sciatic nerve from left thigh. The incision on the left thigh was repaired in situ. ②2,4,8 and 14 weeks after grafting, the nerve specimen of anastomosis segment was observed under optical microscope. Fourteen weeks after grafting, the ultrathin section of distal sciatic nerve was observed under transmission electron microscope. The number and size of regenerated axons at the cross section of anastomosis of proximal and distal sciatic nerve were analyzed with biomedical image analysis system. Neuroelectrophysiological change of in vivo sciatic nerve was detected with myoelectricity scanner.③ t test was used in the comparison of difference of measurement data.MAZN OUTCOME MEASURES : ① Observation of anastomosis part of sciatic nerve under optical and electron microscopes in the two groups. ② Comparison of motor nerve conduction velocity, latent period and action potential peak as well as the number and size of cross-section of anastomosis part of proximal and distal sciatic nerve between two groups.RESULTS: ①Observation under optical microscope:Two weeks after grafting, neve axon of repaired region broke and medullary sheath denatured in the allogenic nerve grafting group and autologous nerve grafting group. At the same time, vascular engorgement and a little lymphocytes infiltration were found in the autologous nerve grafting group, but those were found worsened in the allogenic nerve grafting group. Four weeks after grafting, the intensity of the inflammatory reaction was similar between two groups, some collagen fibers at the proximal end proliferated; 8 weeks after grafting, the inflammatory reaction ended basically and the collagen fibers proliferated obviously in the two groups. ② Observation under electron microscope: Fourteen weeks after grafting, the structure of epineurium was in integrity and there were no obvious differences in perineurium and endonurium between two groups. A large number of myelinated nerve fibers and a few unmyelinated nerve fibers regenerated. The structure of myelin sheath was in integrity. ③The number and size of regenerated axons of anastomosis of proximal and distal sciatic nerve had no significant difference 14 weeks after grafting [(575.500±7.495) vs(585.700±11.172) axons/visual field ; (389.300±49.073) vs (407.600±0.283) axons/visual field;(6 423.830±119.911 ) vs (6 695.36± 84.287) μm^2/visual field = ( 5 980.110±74.572) vs(5 980.110±74.572) μm^2/visual field] (P 〉 0.05). ④ Neuroelectrophysiological examination showed that there were no significant differences in motor nerve evoked potential latent pedod[(1.420±0.346)vs (1.237±0.250) ms] , motor nerve conduction velocity [( 12.120±0.906 ) vs(13.020±0.599) m/s]and latent period of sciatic nerve [(0.500±0.380)vs (1.250±1.067) mV] of rats between two groups (P 〉 0.05).CONCLUSTON: Although subcutaneous implant of peripheral nerve allograft has some inflammatory reactions, no obvious rejection is found. Repair results of two groups show that subcutaneous implant of allograft can promote nerve regeneration, which is similar to autologous nerve grafting.展开更多

However, they still suffer severe challenges during the synthetic processes, such as a large amount of the capping agents adhering on the surface and easy occurrence of aggregation. To figure out these obstacles, Ar plasma treatment as a modified method in this study not only enable the TiO_(2)(B) nanosheets distributed uniformly on the GO sheets but also engineer defects within TiO_(2)(B) nanosheets to significantly improve the photocatalytic activity for the water splitting. The hydrogen evolution rate of the TiO_(2)-x(B)/GO sheets is 1.4 times higher compared with that of original TiO_(2)(B)/GO sheets without Ar plasma treatment. The improved photocatalytic properties were owing to the synergetic effects of oxygen vacancies and the heterojunction between GO and TiO_(2)(B), which can promote the visible light utilization and accelerate separation and transportation of photogenerated electron-holes. This study can provide a facile pathway to prepare the two-dimensional hybrid photocatalysts with high photocatalytic H_(2) activity.展开更多

In this paper,a dual circularly polarized(CP) monostatic simultaneous transmit and receive(MSTAR) antenna with enhanced isolation is proposed to alleviate the problem. The proposed antenna consists of one sequentially rotating array(SRA), two beamforming networks(BFN), and a combined decoupling structure. The SRA is shared by the transmit and receive to reduce the size of the antenna and to obtain a consistent transmit and receive pattern.The BFN achieve right-hand CP for transmit and left-hand CP for receive. By exploring the combined decoupling structure of uniplanar compact electromagnetic band gap(UC-EBG) and ringshaped defected ground structure(RS-DGS), good transmitreceive isolation is achieved. The proposed antenna prototype is fabricated and experimentally characterized. The simulated and measured results show good agreement. The demonstrate transmit/receive isolation is height than 33 dB, voltage standing wave ratio is lower than 2, axial ratio is lower than 3 dB, and consistent radiation for both transmit and receive is within4.25-4.35 GHz.展开更多

Then the DGS is simulated and optimized with software, and the circuit board is manufactured and measured.The non-periodic structure is simple in structure and small in size and ripple compared with the periodic structure.Though the stop band of the non-periodic structure is narrow, it can meet the requirement of application. The C-shaped structure with two stop bands can select frequency in a special band.
文摘Different feeding techniques of microstrip patch antennas with different spiral defected ground structures are presented in this paper. The investigated structures illustrate some merits in designing multi-electromagnetic band-gap structures by adjusting the capacitance and changing the inductance through varying the width and length of spiral defected ground structure. Then by applying the three different spirals shapes (one, two and four arms) as the ground plane of microstrip patch antenna with different feeding techniques to create multi or ultra wide-band, improve the antenna gain and reduce the antenna size, it is found that the four arms spiral defected ground structure of microstrip patch antenna with offset feed gives good performance, electrical size reduction to about 75% as compared to the original patch size and ultra-wide bandwidth extends from 2 GHz up to 12 GHz with ?8 dB impedance bandwidth.

文摘The mechanical properties and the point defect energy of magnesium hydroxide(Mg(OH)2) were studied using the molecular dynamics. Moreover, the microelectronic structure of Mg(OH)2 with point defects in the bulk and on its surface were investigated using the first principles. The simulation results indicate that Mg(OH)2 was easily modified by other cations because of its strong, favorable interstitial and substitution defects via point defect energy calculation. Mg(OH)2 can provide high-efficiency flame retardancy because of the strong OH(OH Schottky defect) or H bond(H Frenkel defect and Schottky defect). The potential model of Mg(OH)2 was established, and molecular dynamics simulation was used to investigate the relations between the crystal structure and the mechanical properties. Mg(OH)2 with special morphology such as nano-sheets was a prior consideration to maintain the composite mechanical properties. The detailed electronic structures of Mg(OH)2 with defects were determined. This work may provide theoretical guidance for choosing dopant element and reveal the element doping mechanism of Mg(OH)2.

文摘We study the plasmonic properties of hybrid nanostructures consisting of double vacancy defected graphene(DVDGr)and metallic nanoarrays using the time-dependent density functional theory. It is found that DVDGr with pure and mixed noble/transition-metal nanoarrays can produce a stronger light absorption due to the coherent resonance of plasmons than graphene nanostructures. Comparing with the mixed Au/Pd nanoarrays, pure Au nanoarrays have stronger plasmonic enhancement. Furthermore, harmonics from the hybrid nanostructures exposed to the combination of lasers ranged from ultraviolet to infrared and a controlling pulse are investigated theoretically. The harmonic plateau can be broadened significantly and the energy of harmonic spectra is dramatically extended by the controlling pulse. Thus, it is possible to tune the width and intensity of harmonic spectrum to achieve broadband absorption of radiation. The methodology described here not only improves the understanding of the surface plasmon effect used in a DVDGr-metal optoelectronic device but also may be applicable to different optical technologies.

文摘A novel defected ground structure (DGS) for the microstrip line is proposed in this paper. The DGS lattice has more defect parameters so that it can provide better performance than the conventional dumbbell-shaped DGS. Selectivity is improved by 97.2% with a sharpness factor of 24.6%. The method is applied to the design of a low-pass filter to confirm validity of the proposed DGS.
文摘In this paper,the investigation of a novel compact 2×2,2×1,and 1×1 Ultra-Wide Band(UWB)based Multiple-Input Multiple-Output(MIMO)antenna with Defected Ground Structure(DGS)is employed.The proposed Electromagnetic Radiation Structures(ERS)is composed of multiple radiating elements.These MIMO antennas are designed and analyzed with and without DGS.The feeding is introduced by a microstrip-fed line to significantly moderate the radiating structure’s overall size,which is 60×40×1 mm.The high directivity and divergence characteristics are attained by introducing the microstripfed lines perpendicular to each other.And the projected MIMO antenna structures are compared with others by using parameters like Return Loss(RL),Voltage Standing Wave Ratio(VSWR),Radiation Pattern(RP),radiation efficiency,and directivity.The same MIMO set-up is redesigned with DGS,and the resultant parameters are compared.Finally,the Multiple Input and Multiple Output Radiating Structures with and without DGS are compared for result considerations like RL,VSWR,RP,radiation efficiency,and directivity.This projected antenna displays an omnidirectional RP with moderate gain,which is highly recommended for human healthcare applications.By introducing the defected ground structure in bottom layer the lower cut-off frequencies of 2.3,4.5 and 6.0 GHz are achieved with few biological effects on radio propagation in human body communications.The proposed design covers numerous well-known wireless standards,along with dual-function DGS slots,and it can be easily integrated into Wireless Body Area Networks(WBAN)in medical applications.This WBAN links the autonomous nodes that may be situated either in the clothes,on-body or beneath the skin of a person.This system typically advances the complete human body and the inter-connected nodes through a wireless communication channel.
文摘The paper presents an improved equivalent circuit parameters extraction method for the dumbbell-shaped defected ground structure (DGS). The new extraction parameters equations are obtained in closed-form expressions, which contain S11 and S21. The DGS unit with center frequency of 5 GHz is designed and fabricated on a TLX substrate with thickness of 1 mm and dielectric constant of 2.55. The circuit simulated results are in good agreement with the measured results. This parameters extraction method can be widely used for the design and analysis of DGS .
文摘BAEKGROUND: Some experimental studies demonstrate that subcutaneous implant of allograft can significantly decrease lymphocyte infiltration and reduce immunological reaction. However, compared with autologous nerve grafting, what is the effect of nerve regeneration after repair?OB]EETIVE: To observe the local nervous status of the detected part of sciatic nerve repaired through subcutaneously implanting peripheral nerve allograft, and compare the effect with fresh autologous nerve grafting.DESTGN : Contrast observation.SETTING : Departments of Orthopaedics of Zhengzhou Fifth People's Hospital and First Hospital Affiliated to Chongqing Medical University.MATEREALS : Totally 30 healthy adult Wistar male rats, with body mass of (200±20)g, were enrolled. Optical microscope (Olympus biological microscope BHS, Japan), Electron microscope (H-600, Japan),CM-2000 biomedical image analysis system (CM-2000,Beihang) and myoelectricity scanner (KEYPOINT, Denmark) were used in this experiment.METHODS : This experiment was carried out in the Orthopaedic Laboratory of Chongqing Medical University between October 2000 and April 2002. ① Six rats were chosen as the donors for allogenic nerve grafting, and 15 mm sciatic nerve segment was chosen as graft. The other rats were randomly divided into two groups: allogenic nerve grafting group and autologous nerve grafting group, with 12 rats in each group. In the allogenic nerve grafting group, a skin incision was made on the posterior side of right thigh, and subcutaneous blunt dissection was performed prorsally a little, then allograft was implanted. Two weeks later, sciatic nerve was exposed at the posterior side of left thigh and cut respectively at 5 mm and another 10 mm away from pelvis. The donor nerve (with connective tissue veil) implanted subcutaneously on the right thigh was taken out. Sectioned connective tissue at the proximal end was trimmed and that at the distal end as done but reserved 10 mm in length, and inosculated antegradely at the nerve defect on the left side with 11/0 nylon line. Twelve rats in autologous nerve grafting group underwent a 10 mm sciatic nerve defect inci- sion on the right thigh and implant of fresh sciatic nerve from left thigh. The incision on the left thigh was repaired in situ. ②2,4,8 and 14 weeks after grafting, the nerve specimen of anastomosis segment was observed under optical microscope. Fourteen weeks after grafting, the ultrathin section of distal sciatic nerve was observed under transmission electron microscope. The number and size of regenerated axons at the cross section of anastomosis of proximal and distal sciatic nerve were analyzed with biomedical image analysis system. Neuroelectrophysiological change of in vivo sciatic nerve was detected with myoelectricity scanner.③ t test was used in the comparison of difference of measurement data.MAZN OUTCOME MEASURES : ① Observation of anastomosis part of sciatic nerve under optical and electron microscopes in the two groups. ② Comparison of motor nerve conduction velocity, latent period and action potential peak as well as the number and size of cross-section of anastomosis part of proximal and distal sciatic nerve between two groups.RESULTS: ①Observation under optical microscope:Two weeks after grafting, neve axon of repaired region broke and medullary sheath denatured in the allogenic nerve grafting group and autologous nerve grafting group. At the same time, vascular engorgement and a little lymphocytes infiltration were found in the autologous nerve grafting group, but those were found worsened in the allogenic nerve grafting group. Four weeks after grafting, the intensity of the inflammatory reaction was similar between two groups, some collagen fibers at the proximal end proliferated; 8 weeks after grafting, the inflammatory reaction ended basically and the collagen fibers proliferated obviously in the two groups. ② Observation under electron microscope: Fourteen weeks after grafting, the structure of epineurium was in integrity and there were no obvious differences in perineurium and endonurium between two groups. A large number of myelinated nerve fibers and a few unmyelinated nerve fibers regenerated. The structure of myelin sheath was in integrity. ③The number and size of regenerated axons of anastomosis of proximal and distal sciatic nerve had no significant difference 14 weeks after grafting [(575.500±7.495) vs(585.700±11.172) axons/visual field ; (389.300±49.073) vs (407.600±0.283) axons/visual field;(6 423.830±119.911 ) vs (6 695.36± 84.287) μm^2/visual field = ( 5 980.110±74.572) vs(5 980.110±74.572) μm^2/visual field] (P 〉 0.05). ④ Neuroelectrophysiological examination showed that there were no significant differences in motor nerve evoked potential latent pedod[(1.420±0.346)vs (1.237±0.250) ms] , motor nerve conduction velocity [( 12.120±0.906 ) vs(13.020±0.599) m/s]and latent period of sciatic nerve [(0.500±0.380)vs (1.250±1.067) mV] of rats between two groups (P 〉 0.05).CONCLUSTON: Although subcutaneous implant of peripheral nerve allograft has some inflammatory reactions, no obvious rejection is found. Repair results of two groups show that subcutaneous implant of allograft can promote nerve regeneration, which is similar to autologous nerve grafting.

文摘Electrocatalytic water splitting is limited by kinetics-sluggish oxygen evolution,in which the activity of catalysts depends on their electronic structure.However,the infl uence of electron spin polarization on catalytic activity is ambiguous.Herein,we successfully regulate the spin polarization of Co_(3)O_(4)catalysts by tuning the concentration of cobalt defects from 0.8 to 14.5%.X-ray absorption spectroscopy spectra and density functional theory calculations confi rm that the spin polarization of Co_(3)O_(4)is positively correlated with the concentration of cobalt defects.Importantly,the enhanced spin polarization can increase hydroxyl group absorption to signifi cantly decrease the Gibbs free energy change value of the OER rate-determining step and regulate the spin polarization of oxygen species through a spin electron-exchange process to easily produce triplet-state O_(2),which can obviously increase electrocatalytic OER activity.In specifi c,Co_(3)O_(4)-50 with 14.5%cobalt defects exhibits the highest spin polarization and shows the best normalized OER activity.This work provides an important strategy to increase the water splitting activity of electrocatalysts via the rational regulation of electron spin polarization.

文摘Defect and charge transfer efficiency of nano-photocatalysts are important factors which influence their photocatalytic performance.In this work,oxygen vacancies are successfully introduced in the synthesis process of Bi_(2)Al_(4)O_(9)/β-Bi_(2)O_(3)heterojunctions through one-step in situ selfcombustion method.High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM),UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-Vis DRS),and electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements confirm the existence of oxygen vacancies.In addition,by controlling the ratio of reactants of Bi(NO_(3))_(3)to Al(NO_(3))_(3),the ratio of Bi_(2)Al_(4)O_(9)and β-Bi_(2)O_(3)in the heterojunction can be easily adjusted.Photocurrent responses and surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPV) indicate that the construction of the Bi_(2)Al_(4)O_(9)/β-Bi_(2)O_(3)heterostructure improves the separation efficiency of the photo-generated electrons and holes.CO_(2)-TPD results imply that the amounts and stability of heterojunctions are enhanced compared with their counterparts.The Bi_(2)Al_(4)O_(9)/β-Bi_(2)O_(3)heterojunction with 14 mol%Bi_(2)Al_(4)O_(9)shows the highest photocatalytic ability for reduction of CO_(2)into CO.The enhanced photoreduction of CO_(2)performance can be ascribed to the synergistic effects of the heterojunction for electron separation and oxygen vacancies for CO_(2)activation.

文摘TiO_(2)(B) nanosheets/GO(graphene oxide) hybrids are considered to be outstanding performance photocatalysts for high efficiency of H_(2) evolution. However, they still suffer severe challenges during the synthetic processes, such as a large amount of the capping agents adhering on the surface and easy occurrence of aggregation. To figure out these obstacles, Ar plasma treatment as a modified method in this study not only enable the TiO_(2)(B) nanosheets distributed uniformly on the GO sheets but also engineer defects within TiO_(2)(B) nanosheets to significantly improve the photocatalytic activity for the water splitting. The hydrogen evolution rate of the TiO_(2)-x(B)/GO sheets is 1.4 times higher compared with that of original TiO_(2)(B)/GO sheets without Ar plasma treatment. The improved photocatalytic properties were owing to the synergetic effects of oxygen vacancies and the heterojunction between GO and TiO_(2)(B), which can promote the visible light utilization and accelerate separation and transportation of photogenerated electron-holes. This study can provide a facile pathway to prepare the two-dimensional hybrid photocatalysts with high photocatalytic H_(2) activity.

文摘A compact low-profile dual-band Circularly Polarized(CP)microstrip antenna is proposed for the Bei Dou Navigation Satellite System(BDS).To achieve dual-band functionality,a single-layer multimode design is employed,incorporating F-,L-,and T-shaped slots at the corners for CP performance.Additionally,a Defected Ground Structure(DGS)is implemented to further enhance the antenna's efficiency.A detailed parameter analysis is conducted to optimize the antenna's size and performance balance.After optimization,the final dimensions of the antenna are minimized while still meeting the design requirements.The prototype of the optimized antenna is fabricated and tested,demonstrating coverage of frequency bands from 1.182 GHz to 1.217 GHz and 1.547 GHz to 1.569 GHz.The antenna effectively supports dual-band CP for B1I and B2b frequency bands.A performance metric,the Ratio of relative Bandwidth to Volume(RBV),is introduced to evaluate the antenna's efficiency.Compared to similar designs,the proposed antenna offers a smaller size without sacrificing performance,making it well-suited for BDS airborne applications.

文摘Separated transmit and receive antennas are employed to improve transmit-receive isolation in conventional short-range radars, which greatly increases the antenna size and misaligns of the transmit/receive radiation patterns. In this paper,a dual circularly polarized(CP) monostatic simultaneous transmit and receive(MSTAR) antenna with enhanced isolation is proposed to alleviate the problem. The proposed antenna consists of one sequentially rotating array(SRA), two beamforming networks(BFN), and a combined decoupling structure. The SRA is shared by the transmit and receive to reduce the size of the antenna and to obtain a consistent transmit and receive pattern.The BFN achieve right-hand CP for transmit and left-hand CP for receive. By exploring the combined decoupling structure of uniplanar compact electromagnetic band gap(UC-EBG) and ringshaped defected ground structure(RS-DGS), good transmitreceive isolation is achieved. The proposed antenna prototype is fabricated and experimentally characterized. The simulated and measured results show good agreement. The demonstrate transmit/receive isolation is height than 33 dB, voltage standing wave ratio is lower than 2, axial ratio is lower than 3 dB, and consistent radiation for both transmit and receive is within4.25-4.35 GHz.
