The basis of the method is the synergy of thermal and nonthermal effects, similar to the thermal action of conventional hyperthermia combined with ionizing radiation (radiotherapy). The electric field and the radiofrequency current produced both the thermal and nonthermal processes. The thermal effects produce the elevated temperature as a thermal background to optimize the nonthermal impacts. The low frequency amplitude modulation ensures accurate targeting and promotes immunogenic cell death to develop the tumor specific memory T cells disrupting the malignant cells by immune surveillance. This process (abscopal effect) works like a vaccination. The low frequency amplitude modulation is combined in the new method with the high power pulses for short time, increasing the tumor distortion ability of the electric field. The new modulation combination has much deeper penetration triplicating the active thickness of the effective treatment. The short pulse absorption increases the safety and decreases the thermal toxicity of the treatment, making the treatment safer. The increased power allows for reduced treatment time with the prescribed dose.展开更多

In this work,the dependence of superconducting properties of YBCO on CeO2 films with different thicknesses was investigated,in order to achieve fabrication of high-performance YBCO coated conductors in industrial scale. The crystalline structure and morphology of CeO2 films with thickness ranging from 21 to 563 nm were systematically characterized by means of X-ray diffraction（XRD）, atomic force microscope（AFM） and reflection high-energy electron diffraction（RHEED）. Additional focus was addressed on evolution of the surface quality of CeO2 films with thickness increasing. The results show that at the optimal thickness of 221 nm, CeO2 film exhibits sharp in-plane and out-of-plane texture with full width of half maximum（FWHM） values of 5.9° and 1.8°, respectively, and smooth surface with a mean root-mean-square（RMS） roughness value as low as 0.6 nm. Combing RHEED and transmission electron microscope（TEM） cross-sectional analysis, it is found that nucleation and growth of CeO2 films at early stage remain in island growth mode with rougher surface,while further increasing the thickness beyond the optimal thickness leads to weak surface quality, consequently resulting in degradation of superconductor layers deposited subsequently. Eventually, a critical current density（Jc） as high as 4.6×10-6 A·cm-（-2）（77 K, self-field） is achieved on a YBCO film on a thickness-modulated CeO2/MgO/Y2 O3/Al2 O3/C276 architecture, demonstrating the advantages of CeO2 films as buffer layer in high-throughput manufacture of coated conductors.展开更多

The characteristics of radio frequency discharge burst in terms of breakdown voltage, alpha（s）- gamma（γ） mode transition voltage and current are demonstrated by the discharge current voltage characteristics. The minimum breakdown voltage of RF discharge burst was obtained at the duty cycle of 20% and frequency of 400 kHz, respectively. The α-γ mode transition of RF discharge burst occurs at higher voltage and current by reducing the duty cycle and elevating the modulation frequency before the RF discharge burst evolving into the ignition phase, in which the RF discharge burst can operate stably in the γ mode. It proposes that the intensity and stability of RF discharge burst can be improved by manipulating the duty cycle and modulation frequency in pulse modulated atmospheric RF glow discharge.展开更多

This modulation scheme uses pulses with equal amplitude and different widths to carry different information. The receiver employs differences between similarity coefficients among these pulses to distinguish different information. Both theoretical analysis and simulation results verify that this novel scheme has a Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) gain of about 1.75 dB compared with or- thogonal binary PPM, and has an SNR loss of about 1.4 dB compared with binary PAM. Although both the theoretical analysis and simulations are based on time-hopping multiple access, this modulation scheme can also be applied to other accessing techniques of UWB communication systems.展开更多

In this paper the center energy valley （Г valley） electron concentration changes with the pulse delay time, sampling time and the outfield are mainly discussed. The results show that the sampling time and the THz field should exceed certain thresholds to effectively excite photoluminescence quenching （PLQ）. Adopting a direct current （DC） field makes the sampling time threshold shortened and the linear range of THz field-modulation PL expanded. Moreover, controlling the sampling time and the outfield intensity can improve the linear quality： with forward time, the larger outfield is used; with backward time, the smaller outfield is used. This study can provide a theoretical basis of THz field linear modulation in a larger range for new light emitting devices.展开更多

The circuit parameters, used in this paper, are fixed. When the systems, modulated by BSPWM and UDFSPWM, have the same switching frequency, the stabil- ity boundaries of the two systems are the same. However, when the equivalent switching frequencies of the two systems are the same, the BSPWM modulated system is more stable than the UDFSPWM modulated system. In addition, a convenient method of establishing the discrete-time model of piecewise smooth system is presented. Finally, the analytical results are confirmed by circuit simulations and experimental measurements.展开更多

This equation governs light transmission through a dispersive nonlinear chiral fiber with joint action of chirality in linear and nonlinear ways. The generalized CNLSE shows a modu- lation of chirality to the effect of attenuation and nonlinearity compared with the case for a conventional fiber. Simulations based on the split-step beam propagation method reveal the role of nonlinearity with cooperation to chirality playing in the pulse evolution. By adjusting its strength the role of chirality in forming solitons is demonstrated for a given circularly polarized component. The application of nonlinear optical rotation is also discussed in an all-optical switch.展开更多

文摘The discharge operation regime of pulse modulated atmospheric radio frequency （RF） glow discharge in helium is investigated on the duty cycle and frequency of modulation pulses. The characteristics of radio frequency discharge burst in terms of breakdown voltage, alpha（s）- gamma（γ） mode transition voltage and current are demonstrated by the discharge current voltage characteristics. The minimum breakdown voltage of RF discharge burst was obtained at the duty cycle of 20% and frequency of 400 kHz, respectively.

文摘A one-dimensional self-consistent fluid numerical model was developed to study the ignition characteristics of a pulsc-tmxlulated(PM)radio-frequency(RF)glow discharge in atmospheric helium assisted by a sub-microsecond voltage excited pulsed discharge.The temporal evolution of discharge current density and electron density during PM RF discharge burst was investigated to demonstrate the discharge ignition characteristics with or without the pulsed discharge.Under the assistance of pulsed discharge,the electron density in RF discharge burst reaches the magnitude of 1.87 x 1017-3m within 10 RF cycles,accompanied by the formation of sheath structure.It proposes that the pulsed discharge plays an important role in the ignition of PM RF discharge burst.Furthermore,the dynamics of PM RF glow discharge arc demonstrated by the spatiotcmporal evolution of the election density with and without pulsed discharge.The spatial profiles of electron density,electron energy and electric field at specific time instants arc given to explain the assistive role of the pulsed discharge on PM RF discharge ignition.

文摘By deriving the discrete-time models of a digitally controlled H-bridge inverter system modulated by bipolar sinu- soidal pulse width modulation （BSPWM） and unipolar double-frequency sinusoidal pulse width modulation （UDFSPWM） respectively, the performances of the two modulation strategies are analyzed in detail. The circuit parameters, used in this paper, are fixed. When the systems, modulated by BSPWM and UDFSPWM, have the same switching frequency, the stabil- ity boundaries of the two systems are the same. However, when the equivalent switching frequencies of the two systems are the same, the BSPWM modulated system is more stable than the UDFSPWM modulated system. In addition, a convenient method of establishing the discrete-time model of piecewise smooth system is presented. Finally, the analytical results are confirmed by circuit simulations and experimental measurements.

文摘From Maxwell＇s equations and Post＇s formalism, a generalized chiral nonlinear Schr6dinger equation （CNLSE） is obtained for the nonlinear chiral fiber. This equation governs light transmission through a dispersive nonlinear chiral fiber with joint action of chirality in linear and nonlinear ways. The generalized CNLSE shows a modu- lation of chirality to the effect of attenuation and nonlinearity compared with the case for a conventional fiber. Simulations based on the split-step beam propagation method reveal the role of nonlinearity with cooperation to chirality playing in the pulse evolution. By adjusting its strength the role of chirality in forming solitons is demonstrated for a given circularly polarized component. The application of nonlinear optical rotation is also discussed in an all-optical switch.
