Both the thermal electrons and the dissociation recombination contribute to generate the airglow emissions during HF heating. However, the relative importance of the airglow emission induced by dissociative recombination and thermal electrons has been rarely investigated. In this study, we carry out a simulation study on the airglow produced by high-power HF heating at nighttime associated with dissociative recombination and thermal electrons. SAMI2(Sami2 is Another Model of the Ionosphere) is employed to simulate the ionospheric variations during the HF heating. The main conclusions from this study are as follows:(1) For the airglow induced by dissociative recombination, both 630.0 nm and 557.7 nm emissions show a decrease at the heating wave reflection height during the heating period,while when the heating is turned off, an increase is shown at lower altitudes. The reduction of airglow during the heating is caused by the rapid increase of electron temperature and the diffusion of plasmas dominates the after-heating airglow enhancement.(2) 630.0 nm emission due to thermal electrons is greatly enhanced at the wave reflection height, indicating that thermal electrons play a major role in exciting 630.0 nm emission. For the 557.7 nm emission, the excitation threshold(4.17 e V) is too high for thermal electrons.(3) The combined effect of dissociative recombination and thermal electrons could be the possible reason for the observed X-mode(extraordinary mode) suppression of 630.0 nm airglow during O-mode(ordinary mode) enhancement.展开更多

文摘Conductive elastomers combining micromechanical sensitivity,lightweight adaptability,and environmental sustainability are critically needed for advanced flexible electronics requiring precise responsiveness and long-term wearability;however,the integration of these properties remains a significant challenge.Here,we present a biomass-derived conductive elastomer featuring a rationally engineered dynamic crosslinked network integrated with a tunable microporous architecture.This structural design imparts pronounced micromechanical sensitivity,an ultralow density(~0.25 g cm^(−3)),and superior mechanical compliance for adaptive deformation.Moreover,the unique micro-spring effect derived from the porous architecture ensures exceptional stretchability(>500%elongation at break)and superior resilience,delivering immediate and stable electrical response under both subtle(<1%)and large(>200%)mechanical stimuli.Intrinsic dynamic interactions endow the elastomer with efficient room temperature self-healing and complete recyclability without compromising performance.First-principles simulations clarify the mechanisms behind micropore formation and the resulting functionality.Beyond its facile and mild fabrication process,this work establishes a scalable route toward high-performance,sustainable conductive elastomers tailored for next-generation soft electronics.

文摘Textile electronics with extraordinary sensing capabilities holds significant potential in the Artificial Intelligence of Things(AIoT).However,little effort is paid to their mutual advantages of robust interfacial interactions,ultra-strong mechanical performance,and stability.Herein,we fabricate homogeneous and multifunctional core-shell macrofibers by integrating bridge-functionalized MXene/PEDOT:PSS conductive ink with aligned bacterial cellulose(BC).These resulting macrofibers feature mechanical properties(tensile strength of 433.2 MPa and the Young's modulus of 25.9 GPa),exceptional electrical conductivity(10.05 S cm^(-1))and durable hydrophobicity.Such superior robustness allows for the fabrication of the macrofibers woven into textile-based triboelectric nanogenerator(PKT-TENG)and shows an impressive high-performance of a maximum open-circuit voltage of 272.54 V,short-circuit current of 14.56μA and power density of 86.29 mW m^(-2),which successfully powers commercial electronics.As the proof-of-concept illustration,the macrofibers with durable hydrophobicity and high piezoresistive sensitivity are further employed for precepting diverse liquids that can simultaneously monitor their distinctive motion features via real-time resistance variation on the textile-based array.This work is expected to offer new insights into the design of advanced fibers with ultra-strong mechanical capabilities and high conductivity and provide an avenue for the development of textile electronics for high-performance sensing and intelligent manufacturing.

文摘Multimodal spatiotemporal data from smart city consumer electronics present critical challenges including cross-modal temporal misalignment,unreliable data quality,limited joint modeling of spatial and temporal dependencies,and weak resilience to adversarial updates.To address these limitations,EdgeST-Fusion is introduced as a cross-modal federated graph transformer framework for context-aware smart city analytics.The architecture integrates cross-modal embedding networks for modality alignment,graph transformer encoders for spatial dependency modeling,temporal self-attention for dynamic pattern learning,and adaptive anomaly detection to ensure data quality and security during aggregation.A privacy-preserving federated learning protocol with differential privacy guarantees enables collaborative model training without centralizing sensitive data.The framework employs data-quality-aware weighted aggregation to enhance robustness against noisy and malicious client updates.Experimental evaluation on the GeoLife,PeMS-Bay,and SmartHome+datasets demonstrates that EdgeST-Fusion achieves 21.8%improvement in prediction accuracy,35.7%reduction in communication overhead,and 29.4%enhancement in security resilience compared to recent baselines.Real-world deployment across three smart city testbeds validates practical viability with 90.0%average accuracy and sub-250 ms inference latency.The proposed framework remains feasible for deployment on heterogeneous and resource-constrained consumer electronics devices whilemaintaining strong privacy guarantees and scalability for large-scale urban environments.

文摘The Na_(4)Fe_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)P_(2)O_(7)(NFPP)has considered as a very attractive cathode material for Na-ion batteries mainly due to its cheap price and high security.Its low electron transfer rate is usually improved by coating a layer of hard carbon,which however exhibits a low graphitization degree because of the relatively low NFPP synthesis temperature(~500℃).In this study,a highly-conductive hybrid carbon has been employed to accelerate redox reaction kinetics of NFPP by modulating electronic structure for achieving high-power Na-ion batteries.The hybrid carbon is derived from the mixed polyethylene glycol(PEG)and glucose,in which the low ether bond energy(~340 kJ mol^(-1))of PEG facilitates the free radical generation during pyrolysis with high graphitization degree while glucose improves the uniformity of the c arbon coating.As a result,the optimized cathode exhibits a very high reversible capacity of 90.8 mAh g^(-1)at 20C within 2.0-4.0 V with 85.3%capacity retention after 10,000 cycles,highlighting huge application potentials in two-wheeled electric vehicles,backup energy storage,and so forth.
文摘Wide bandgap semiconductor materials are driving revolutionary improvements in the performance of high-power electronic devices. This study systematically evaluates the application prospects of wide bandgap semiconductor materials in high-power electronic devices. The research first compares the physical properties of major wide bandgap materials (such as silicon carbide SiC and gallium nitride GaN), analyzing their advantages over traditional silicon materials. Through theoretical calculations and experimental data analysis, the study assesses the performance of these materials in terms of high breakdown field, high thermal conductivity, and high electron saturation velocity. The research focuses on the application of SiC and GaN devices in power electronics, including high-voltage DC transmission, electric vehicle drive systems, and renewable energy conversion. The study also discusses the potential of wide bandgap materials in RF and microwave applications. However, the research also points out the challenges faced by wide bandgap semiconductor technology, such as material defect control, device reliability, and cost issues. To address these challenges, the study proposes solutions, including improving epitaxial growth techniques, optimizing device structure design, and developing new packaging methods. Finally, the research looks ahead to the prospects of wide bandgap semiconductors in emerging application areas such as quantum computing and terahertz communications. This study provides a comprehensive theoretical foundation and technology roadmap for the application of wide bandgap semiconductor materials in high-power electronic devices, contributing to the development of next-generation high-efficiency energy conversion and management systems.

文摘The types of dopants lead to distinctive microstructural evolution behavior and physical properties in materials.In this study,the effect of stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric Mn modification,namely Pb(Mn_(1/3) Nb_(2/3))O_(3)(PMnN)and MnO_(2),on the microstructure and properties of Pb(Yb_(1/2) Nb_(1/2))O_(3)-PbZrO_(3)-PbTiO_(3)(PYN-PZT)piezoelectric ceramics are systematically investigated.It was found that stoichiometric PMnN modification inhibits the grain growth while non-stoichiometric MnO_(2) modification promotes it,and thus the former yields stronger high-power characteristics(higher internal bias field Ei and larger mechanical quality factor Q_(m))than the latter.Specifically,with an equivalent amount of Mn modifica-tion(2 mol%),PMnN and MnO_(2) modification PYN-PZT ceramics exhibit significantly different values for average grain size(1.21μm vs.14.12μm),Ei(8.5 kV/cm vs.5 kV/cm),and Qm(2376 vs.1134).To further evaluate high-power performance,the vibration velocity v of these two modified PYN-PZT under high driving conditions was measured.Under an AC electric field of 3.5 V/mm,the PYN-PZT+6PMnN ceram-ics exhibit a v of up to 0.95 m s^(−1),larger than both MnO2-doped PYN-PZT(0.72 m s^(−1))and unmodified PYN-PZT ceramics(0.1 m s^(−1)),and far outperformance than both PZT-4 and PZT-8 ceramics.Furthermore,to elucidate the origin of the exceptional high-power performance of PMnN-modified PYN-PZT,we per-formed phase-field simulations revealing a pinning effect of the grain boundary on domain wall motion.Consequently,the small grain size(high grain boundary density)in PMnN-modified PYN-PZT exhibits a strong pinning effect,resulting in a large Q_(m) and outstanding high-power performance.

文摘One of the important effects of the ionospheric modification by high-power waves is the airglow enhancement. Both the thermal electrons and the dissociation recombination contribute to generate the airglow emissions during HF heating. However, the relative importance of the airglow emission induced by dissociative recombination and thermal electrons has been rarely investigated. In this study, we carry out a simulation study on the airglow produced by high-power HF heating at nighttime associated with dissociative recombination and thermal electrons. SAMI2(Sami2 is Another Model of the Ionosphere) is employed to simulate the ionospheric variations during the HF heating. The main conclusions from this study are as follows:(1) For the airglow induced by dissociative recombination, both 630.0 nm and 557.7 nm emissions show a decrease at the heating wave reflection height during the heating period,while when the heating is turned off, an increase is shown at lower altitudes. The reduction of airglow during the heating is caused by the rapid increase of electron temperature and the diffusion of plasmas dominates the after-heating airglow enhancement.(2) 630.0 nm emission due to thermal electrons is greatly enhanced at the wave reflection height, indicating that thermal electrons play a major role in exciting 630.0 nm emission. For the 557.7 nm emission, the excitation threshold(4.17 e V) is too high for thermal electrons.(3) The combined effect of dissociative recombination and thermal electrons could be the possible reason for the observed X-mode(extraordinary mode) suppression of 630.0 nm airglow during O-mode(ordinary mode) enhancement.

文摘Lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate(PMN-PT)piezoelectric single crystals are widely utilized due to their outstanding performance,with varying compositions significantly impacting their properties.While application of PMN-PT in high-power settings is rapidly evolving,material parameters are typically tested under low signal conditions(1 V),and effects of different PT(PbTiO_(3))contents on the performance of PMN-PT single crystals under high-power conditions remain unclear.This study developed a comprehensive high-power testing platform using the constant voltage method to evaluate performance of PMN-PT single crystals with different PT contents under high-power voltage stimulation.Using crystals sized at 10 mm×3 mm×0.5 mm as an example,this research explored changes in material parameters.The results exhibit that while trend of the parameter changes under high-power excitation was consistent across different PT contents,degree of the change varied significantly.For instance,a PMN-PT single crystal with 26%(in mol)PT content exhibited a 25%increase in the piezoelectric coefficient d_(31),a 13%increase in the elastic compliance coefficient s_(11)^(E),a 17%increase in the electromechanical coupling coefficient k_(31),and a 73%decrease in the mechanical quality factor Q_(m) when the power reached 7.90 W.As the PT content increased,the PMN-PT materials became more susceptible to temperature influences,significantly reducing the power tolerance and more readily reaching the depolarization temperatures.This led to loss of piezoelectric performance.Based on these findings,a clearer understanding of impact of PT content on performance of PMN-PT single crystals under high-power applications has been established,providing reliable data to support design of sensors or transducers using PMN-PT as the sensitive element.

文摘Skin-integrated wearable electronics enable continuous,medical-grade monitoring and therapy in daily life,but must balance conflicting needs related to mechanics,power,and communication.This review uses a dual-interface approach that separates the sensor-receiver interface,which handles wireless data and energy transfer,from the sensor-skin interface,where physiological signals are converted and mechanical and biological integration occur.We first reviewed wireless connections designed for skin electronics,focusing on Bluetooth Low Energy(BLE),Radio Frequency Identification(RFID)/Near-Field Communication(NFC)systems,and hybrid systems.Next,we examine sensor-skin interfaces ranging from mediated contact layers such as hydrogels for wearable ultrasound and soft conductive electrodes,to skin-conformal direct-contact methods based on structural mechanics,and ultrathin epidermal devices.Finally,we discuss cross-interface coupling,emphasizing how antenna layouts,power budgets,and body-induced RF effects limit mechanical design,and how skin mechanics influence link reliability.We conclude by exploring opportunities in battery-free and energy-autonomous systems,body-coupled communication,and integration with artificial intelligence(AI)-enabled digital health,positioning future electronic skins as soft,networked platforms that are comfortable and reliable.
