It is shown that there are a pair of particle–hole symmetric gaps forming in the bulk energy band and fractional boundary states residing in the gap when the system has an inversion symmetry. These states are topologically nontrivial and can be characterized by a quantized Berry phase ±π or nonzero Chern number through dimensional extension. When the Rashba spin–orbital coupling varies slowly with time, the system can pump out 2 charges in a pumping cycle because of the spin flip effect. This quantized pumping is protected by topology and is robust against moderate disorders as long as the disorder strength does not exceed the opened energy gap.展开更多

文摘We study the possible topological phase in a one-dimensional（1D） quantum wire with an oscillating Rashba spin–orbital coupling in real space. It is shown that there are a pair of particle–hole symmetric gaps forming in the bulk energy band and fractional boundary states residing in the gap when the system has an inversion symmetry. These states are topologically nontrivial and can be characterized by a quantized Berry phase ±π or nonzero Chern number through dimensional extension. When the Rashba spin–orbital coupling varies slowly with time, the system can pump out 2 charges in a pumping cycle because of the spin flip effect. This quantized pumping is protected by topology and is robust against moderate disorders as long as the disorder strength does not exceed the opened energy gap.

文摘Neural network-based methods for intrapulse modulation recognition in radar signals have demonstrated significant improvements in classification accuracy.However,these approaches often rely on complex network structures,resulting in high computational resource requirements that limit their practical deployment in real-world settings.To address this issue,this paper proposes a bottleneck residual network with efficient soft-thresholding(BRN-EST)network,which integrates multiple lightweight design strategies and noise-reduction modules to maintain high recognition accuracy while significantly reducing computational complexity.Experimental results on the classical low-probability-of-intercept(LPI)radar signal dataset demonstrate that BRN-EST achieves comparable accuracy to state-of-the-art methods while reducing computational complexity by approximately 50%.
文摘针对当前电力设备红外图像分辨率低和温度分布模糊问题,提出一种基于局部和全局信息注意力生成对抗网络(local and global information attention generative adversarial network,LGIA-GAN)的超分辨率重建方法。首先,使用门控权重单元融合多种卷积输出构建细节增强融合卷积,增加重要信息在输出特征图的占比;其次,搭建双注意力模块,对图像长距离像素依赖关系建模并捕获空间和通道维度信息;然后,构造生成对抗网络,使网络关注电力设备红外图像局部纹理细节和全局轮廓信息;最后,通过实验证明,LGIA-GAN在数据集上的峰值信噪比和结构相似度分别为30.266dB和0.9197,重建时间为0.120s,明显优于其他几种GAN算法,并在主观视觉上重建效果更好。所提方法能够有效提升电力设备热成像分辨率,对电力设备故障诊断具有支撑作用。
