However, current systems ...Multiple donor-acceptor(D-A) combinations represent a promising category of thermally activated delayed fiuorescence(TADF) materials, offering potential for superior efficiency and stability. However, current systems are predominantly composed of limited donor groups, primarily carbazole-based derivatives. In this work, we developed a series of D-A type materials incorporating helical π-expanded carbazole(Cz Naph) and 7H-dinaphtho[1,8-bc:1,8-ef]azepine(Az Naph), alongside traditional carbazole, ranging from mono-to tetra-substituted configurations(D_(n)-A). Through systematic investigation of geometric and electronic structures, the number and positioning of multiple donors are confirmed with significant manipulations on charge transfer characteristics and the S_(1) state via steric effects. Density functional theory(DFT) calculations reveal that varying the number of π-extended donors within the acceptor framework produces emission colors from ultraviolet to red, providing a diverse range of emitters. Furthermore, the reduced reorganization energy of S1observed in tetra-substituted Cz and Cz Naph, as well as Mono Az N, indicates lower structural relaxation, highlighting these materials' potential as stable luminescent candidates. This study underscores the importance of diverse composing units in achieving efficient and stable TADF emitters with multiple and hetero-donor configurations.展开更多

文摘Due to batteries inconsistencies and potential faults in battery management systems,slight overcharging remains a common yet insufficiently understood safety risk,lacking effective warning methods.To illuminate the degradation behavior and failure mechanism of various overcharged states(100%SOC,105%SOC,110%SOC,and 115%SOC),multiple advanced in-situ characterization techniques(accelerating rate calorimeter,electrochemical impedance spectroscopy,ultrasonic scanning,and expansion instrument)were utilized.Additionally,re-overcharge-induced thermal runaway(TR)tests were conducted,with a specific emphasis on the evolution of the expansion force signal.Results indicated significant degradation at 110%SOC including conductivity loss,loss of lithium inventory,and loss of active material accompanied by internal gas generation.These failure behaviors slow down the expansion force rate during reovercharging,reducing the efficacy of active warnings that depend on rate thresholds of expansion force.Specifically,the warning time for 115%SOC battery is only 144 s,which is 740 s shorter than that for fresh battery,and the time to TR is advanced by 9 min.Moreover,the initial self-heating temperature(T1)is reduced by 62.4℃compared to that of fresh battery,reaching only 70.8℃.To address the low safety of overcharged batteries,a passive overcharge warning method utilizing relaxation expansion force was proposed,based on the continued gas generation after stopping charging,leading to a sustained increase in force.Compared to active methods that rely on thresholds of expansion force rate,the passive method can issue warnings 115 s earlier.By combining the passive and active warning methods,guaranteed effective overcharge warning can be issued 863-884 s before TR.This study introduces a novel perspective for enhancing the safety of batteries.

文摘All-solid-state lithium batteries(ASSLBs)are strongly considered as the next-generation energy storage devices for their high energy density and intrinsic safety.The solid-solid contact between lithium metal and solid electrolyte plays a vital role in the performance of working ASSLBs,which is challenging to investigate quantitatively by experimental approach.This work proposed a quantitative model based on the finite element method for electrochemical impedance spectroscopy simulation of different solid-solid contact states in ASSLBs.With the assistance of an equivalent circuit model and distribution of relaxation times,it is discovered that as the number of voids and the sharpness of cracks increase,the contact resistance Rcgrows and ultimately dominates the battery impedance.Through accurate fitting,inverse proportional relations between contact resistance Rcand(1-porosity)as well as crack angle was disclosed.This contribution affords a fresh insight into clarifying solid-solid contact states in ASSLBs.

文摘In this manuscript,we propose an analytical equivalent linear viscoelastic constitutive model for fiber-reinforced composites,bypassing general computational homogenization.The method is based on the reduced-order homogenization(ROH)approach.The ROH method typically involves solving multiple finite element problems under periodic conditions to evaluate elastic strain and eigenstrain influence functions in an‘off-line’stage,which offers substantial cost savings compared to direct computational homogenization methods.Due to the unique structure of the fibrous unit cell,“off-line”stage calculation can be eliminated by influence functions obtained analytically.Introducing the standard solid model to the ROH method enables the creation of a comprehensive analytical homogeneous viscoelastic constitutive model.This method treats fibrous composite materials as homogeneous,anisotropic viscoelastic materials,significantly reducing computational time due to its analytical nature.This approach also enables precise determination of a homogenized anisotropic relaxation modulus and accurate capture of various viscoelastic responses under different loading conditions.Three sets of numerical examples,including unit cell tests,three-point beam bending tests,and torsion tests,are given to demonstrate the predictive performance of the homogenized viscoelastic model.Furthermore,the model is validated against experimental measurements,confirming its accuracy and reliability.
文摘In this paper,we introduce the real pairwise completely positive(RPCP)matrices with one of them is necessarily positive semidefinite while the other one is necessarily entrywise nonnegative,which has a real pairwise completely positive(RPCP)decomposition.We study the properties of RPCP matrices and give some necessary and sufficient conditions for a matrix pair to be RPCP.First,we give an equivalent decomposition for the RPCP matrices,which is different from the RPCP-decomposition and show that the matrix pair(X,X)is RPCP if and only if X is completely positive.Besides,we also prove that the RPCP matrices checking problem is equivalent to the separable completion problem.A semidefinite algorithm is also proposed for detecting whether or not a matrix pair is RPCP.The asymptotic and finite convergence of the algorithm are also discussed.If it is RPCP,we can further give a RPCP-decomposition for it;if it is not,we can obtain a certificate for this.

文摘The dynamics of biomolecules span across a wide range of timescales,reflecting the complexity of free energy landscapes of biomolecules.Among these,the microsecond-tomillisecond(μs-ms)timescale dynamics are particularly significant,offering detailed insights into the kinetic,thermodynamic,and structural aspects of biological function.Many critical biological processes,including enzyme catalysis,protein folding,ligand binding,and allosteric regulation,operate within this timescale.Nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)spectroscopy is a powerful technique for probing molecular dynamics in this time window,commonly used NMR methods for investigatingμs-ms timescale dynamics include Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill(CPMG)relaxation dispersion,chemical exchange saturation transfer(CEST),and rotating-frame longitudinal relaxation dispersion(R_(1ρ)relaxation dispersion).This review provides a brief ove rview of the fundamental principles and some recent advances of these methods,highlighting their interrelationships and applications in elucidating biomolecular dynamics.
文摘Objectives:The objective of this study was to assess the impact of two relaxation techniques,the Jacobson’s progressive muscle relaxation technique(JPMR),and the Benson’s relaxation technique(BRT),on the levels of stress and anxiety experienced by patients undergoing coronary angioplasty.Materials and Methods:Quantitative research approach with quasi-experimental pre-test and posttest control group design was conducted with seventy coronary angioplasty patients from the Institute of Medical Science,and SUM Hospital,Bhubaneswar,Odisha.The participants were purposively selected and divided into Experimental Group 1(n=35)and Experimental Group 2(n=35).Each group received either BRT or JPMR for three consecutive days.Pretest and posttest data were collected using a structured demographic questionnaire and the modified depression anxiety stress scale-21.Results:Both BRT and JPMR significantly decreased the levels of stress and anxiety among patients undergoing angioplasty compared to baseline(P<0.05).However,there was no significant difference between the two techniques based on Fisher’s exact P value.This suggests that both interventions are effective in reducing stress and anxiety among angioplasty patients.Conclusion:BRT or JPMR are noninvasive,nonpharmacological interventions that effectively reduce stress and anxiety in patients undergoing angioplasty.These findings underscore the importance of incorporating relaxation techniques into nursing practice and hospital programs to enhance patient care and promote holistic well-being post-angioplasty.

文摘The reconfigurable intelligent surfaces(RIS)can reconfigure the wireless channel environment by manipulating the propagation of incident electromagnetic waves.Specifically,we consider using multi-RIS to improve the system throughput of limited feedback multiple input single output(MISO)system in an energy efficiency manner.The critical challenge lies in the joint design of channel acquisition and beamforming which are usually based on codebook with limited precision.To solve this,we propose a semi-definite relaxation(SDR)based beamforming design scheme while considering the effect of cascaded channel acquisition.First,a channel quantization scheme is proposed by exploiting the channel sparsity in double-RIS aided MISO system.Second,an optimization problem of maximizing the system throughput is established to derive the channel quantization vector which also serves as the beamforming vector,with the consideration of the constraints of transmission power,RISs phase-shift.Third,a SDR based iterative optimization algorithm is proposed to solve the problem with low complexity.Finally,simulation results show that our proposed algorithm can improve the system throughput efficiently.

文摘InAs/AlAs superlattice structures have significant potential for application in low-noise avalanche photodetectors.With their performance in practical applications linked to the fundamental physical properties of carrier relaxation time,this study investigated the carrier relaxation times of InAs/AlAs superlattices across various monolayers,temperatures,and carrier concentrations.Our investigation indicated that relaxation times span several tens of picoseconds,confirming that high-quality interfaces do not significantly reduce relaxation times in the way defect states might.Moreover,our study demonstrates that adjustments to the superlattice period can effectively modulate both the bandgap and carrier relaxation times,potentially impacting the performance of avalanche photodiodes by altering the electron-phonon interaction pathways and bandgap width.We established that lower temperatures contribute to an increase in the bandgap and the suppression of high-frequency optical phonon vibrations,thereby lengthening the relaxation times.Additionally,our observations indicate that in InAs/AlAs superlattices,the relaxation time increases as the excitation power increases,owing to the phonon bottleneck effect.These insights into InAs/AlAs superlattice carrier dynamics highlight their applicability in enhancing avalanche photodetectors,and may contribute to the optimized design of superlattices for specific applications.
文摘A comprehensive analysis was performed on 30 healthy female participants to assess the impact of fragranced body washes on mood improvement.The study examined their objective electroencephalographic (EEG) changes and subjective feedback before and after using the fragranced products.The results showed that both the alpha and theta band activities of the participants increased significantly after using body washes,especially in the occipito-parietal and frontal area of brain,indicating that their brains were at a higher level of stability and relaxation.Meanwhile,in terms of subjective evaluation,the participants’ subjective feelings such as calmness,relaxation,tranquility,and calmness were significantly enhanced.This study has revealed the efficacy of fragranced products in improving mood and is expected to provide support for the development and application of fragranced products.

文摘Fisetin attracts intense attention not only due to its antioxidant and anticancer properties but also be-cause of wide applications in fluo-rescence probes and sensors,which are based on the dual fluorescence induced by excited-state proton transfer(ESPT).However,to date,its ESPT dynamics remains unknown yet.In this study,we give a comprehensive investiga-tion on ESPT dynamics of fisetin in both protic methanol and aprot-ic acetonitrile by using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy combined with time-dependent density functional theory calculations.In acetonitrile,the ESPT time constant of fisetin is 1.2 ps.In methanol,two distinct intermolecular hydrogen bonding configurations contribute to a fast(<90 fs)and slow ESPT(11.1 ps),respectively.The slow ESPT in methanol explains the higher emission intensity of normal species than in acetonitrile.The ex-cited-state relaxation of fisetin involves two main vibrational modes:rotation between B and C rings and butterfly-like motion of C ring.Our results give insight into the effect of solvent-solute hydrogen bonding interaction on the dual fluorescence,providing a fundamental guide-line for the development of fluorescent probes and sensors based on ESPT.

文摘It is well known that the explicit-invariant energy quadratization(EIEQ)approach can generate fully decoupled,linear and unconditionally energy-stable numerical schemes,so it is favored by many researchers.However,the undeniable fact is that the numerical method obtained by EIEQ approach preserves the“modified”energy law instead of the original energy.This is mainly due to the introduction of some auxiliary variables in EIEQ scheme,and the truncation error will make the auxiliary variables deviate from the original definition in the process of numerical calculation.The primary objective of this paper is to address this gap by providing the accuracy and consistency of the EIEQ method in the context of the CahnHilliard equation.We introduce a relaxation technique for auxiliary variables and construct two numerical schemes based on EIEQ.The analysis results show that the newly constructed schemes are not only unconditionally energy stable,linear and fully decoupled,but also can effectively correct the errors introduced by auxiliary variables and follow the original energy law.Finally,several 2D and 3D numerical examples illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of the newly constructed numerical schemes.

文摘Demand for fast-charging lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)has escalated incredibly in the past few years.A conventional method to improve the performance is to chemically partly substitute the transition metal with another to increase its conductivity.In this study,we have chosen to investigate the lithium diffusion in doped anatase(TiO_(2))anodes for high-rate LIBs.Substitutional doping of TiO_(2)with the pentavalent Nb has previously been shown to increase the high-rate performances of this anode material dramatically.Despite the conventional belief,we explicitly show that Nb is mobile and diffusing at room temperature,and different diffusion mechanisms are discussed.Diffusing Nb in TiO_(2)has staggering implications concerning most chemically substituted LIBs and their performance.While the only mobile ion is typically asserted to be Li,this study clearly shows that the transition metals are also diffusing,together with the Li.This implies that a method that can hinder the diffusion of transition metals will increase the performance of our current LIBs even further.

文摘The effect of cryogenic treatment(CT)and relaxation annealing on the average nearest neighboring distance of atom(dm),ther-modynamic stability,soft magnetic properties,microhardness(Hv),and corrosion resistance of as-spun(Fe_(0.5)Co_(0.5))_(75)B_(21)Nb_(4) metallic glasses(MGs)is studied.On the premise of maintaining a fully amorphous phase,appropriate CT and relaxation annealing are conducive to achieving the synergistic effect of increasing saturation magnetization(M_(s))and reducing coercivity(H_(c)).Shallow CT at 213 K optim-ally enhances the soft magnetic properties of MGs.Given its low activation energy of nucleation and increased activation energy of growth,appropriate CT is beneficial for achieving uniform annealed nanocrystals in amorphous phases.The correlation between free volumes(FVs)and potential energy suggests that the variation in Hc depends on the expansion and contraction behavior of amorphous phases after different CT processes.The fitting formulas of H_(c)–d_(m) and Ms–Hv correlations demonstrate that soft magnetic parameters have a solid linear relationship with the contents of FVs and degree of dense random packing.Moreover,pitting resistance is improved by ap-propriate CT and relaxation annealing.This improvement is characterized by the promotion of the stability of the Nb-rich passive film formed during electrochemical corrosion in 3.5wt%NaCl solution.

文摘Accurately estimating the battery state of health(SOH)is essential for ensuring the safe and reliable operation of battery systems of electric vehicles.However,due to the complex and variable operating conditions encountered in practical applications,achieving precise and physics-informed SOH estimation remains challenging.To address these problems,this paper develops a lightweight two-stage physicsinformed neural network(TSPINN)method for SOH estimation of lithium-ion batteries with different chemistries.Specifically,this paper utilizes firstly relaxation voltage data obtained after a full charge to determine the aging-related parameters of physical equivalent circuit model(ECM).Additionally,incremental capacity(IC)feature is extracted by analyzing peak values of the IC curve during the charging phase,which thereby constitutes the first stage of the proposed TSPINN,termed as physics-informed data augmentation for SOH estimation.Additionally,the physical information can be further embedded by incorporating feature knowledge related to mechanisms into the loss function,and ultimately,the second stage of the proposed TSPINN is developed,which is named the physics-informed loss function.The effectiveness of the TSPINN method was confirmed through the experimental data for LiNi_(0.86)Co_(0.11)Al_(0.03)O_(2)(NCA)and LiNi_(0.83)Co_(0.11)Mn_(0.07)O_(2)(NCM)battery materials under different temperature conditions.The final experimental results indicate that the TSPINN method achieved SOH estimation with a mean absolute error(MAE)of 0.675%,showing improvements of approximately 29.3%,60.3%,and 8.1% compared to methods using only ECM,IC,and integrated features,respectively.The results validate the effectiveness and adaptability of TSPINN,establishing it as a reliable solution for advanced battery management systems.

文摘Two CoⅡ-based complexes,{[Co(dps)_(2)(N_(3))_(2)]·H_(2)O}_n(1)and[Co(dps)_(2)(N_(3))_(2)]_n(2),show a 1D chain and a 3D network,respectively.The central CoⅡions in the complexes have the same coordination environment with the[Co(dps)_(4)(N_(3))_(2)]unit.Although the differences in crystal parameters are nearly negligible,their magnetic properties are very different.AC susceptibility data show that 1 behaves as a typical field-induced single-ion magnet(SIM)with the out-of-phase(χ_(M)”)signals,while 2 shows ac signals ofχ_(M)”without peaks even under applied dc filed within our measurement window.Far-IR magneto-spectra(FIRMS)show strong spin-phonon couplings at 0 T in 2,likely making the magnetic relaxation in 2 fast,while the couplings are negligible in 1.Small spin-phonon coupling in 1 likely leads to slower magnetic relaxation,making 1 a SIM.The difference in the properties is due to the structural rigidity of 2 in its 3D network,leading to stronger spin-phonon coupling.Combined high-field EPR(HF-EPR)and FIRMS studies give spin-Hamiltonian parameters,including D=64.0(9)cm^(-1),|E|=15.7(2)cm^(-1)for 1 and D=80.0(2)cm^(-1),|E|=19.0(1)cm^(-1)for 2.

文摘Multiple donor-acceptor(D-A) combinations represent a promising category of thermally activated delayed fiuorescence(TADF) materials, offering potential for superior efficiency and stability. However, current systems are predominantly composed of limited donor groups, primarily carbazole-based derivatives. In this work, we developed a series of D-A type materials incorporating helical π-expanded carbazole(Cz Naph) and 7H-dinaphtho[1,8-bc:1,8-ef]azepine(Az Naph), alongside traditional carbazole, ranging from mono-to tetra-substituted configurations(D_(n)-A). Through systematic investigation of geometric and electronic structures, the number and positioning of multiple donors are confirmed with significant manipulations on charge transfer characteristics and the S_(1) state via steric effects. Density functional theory(DFT) calculations reveal that varying the number of π-extended donors within the acceptor framework produces emission colors from ultraviolet to red, providing a diverse range of emitters. Furthermore, the reduced reorganization energy of S1observed in tetra-substituted Cz and Cz Naph, as well as Mono Az N, indicates lower structural relaxation, highlighting these materials' potential as stable luminescent candidates. This study underscores the importance of diverse composing units in achieving efficient and stable TADF emitters with multiple and hetero-donor configurations.

文摘A series of Sr_(1-1.5x)Lu_(x)TiO_(3)(x=0,0.005,0.01,0.015,and 0.02)ceramics was sintered under an air at-mosphere through the solid-state reaction method.The results show that doping with Lu^(3+)consid-erably enhances material permittivity.The ceramic with x=0.01 exhibits a colossal permittivity(CP)of~101000 with a tanδof~0.16 at a frequency of 1 kHz,demonstrating enhanced stability over a wide temperature(30-300℃)and frequency(102-106 Hz)range.Based on the analysis of dielectric relaxation,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),and the universal dielectric response law,the CP effect is primarily due to the formation of defect dipoles,which are correlated with the presence of oxygen vacancies,such as Ti^(3+)-V_(O)^(¨)-Ti^(3+),V_(Sr)″-V_(O)^(¨),LuTi′-V_(O)^(¨)-Ti^(3+),and Lu_(Sr)·-Lu_(Ti)′-V_(O)^(¨)-Ti^(3+).These defect dipoles serve to pin electrons,limiting long-range transitions,and enhancing local po-larization.Doping with Lu^(3+)also induces a secondary Lu_(2)Ti_(2)O_(7)phase,which was characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD)and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS).The results generated in this study can inform the development and application of new CP materials based on SrTiO_(3).
