It is found that the optical properties of the nanotube arrays are strongly influenced by different defects. When there are no defects in the central nanotube, the values of peaks located at both sides of the photonic band gap have their maxima. Based on the distributions of electric field component Ex and the total energy distribution of the electric and the magnetic field, we show that mainly a dipole field distribution is exhibited for the plasmon mode at the long-wavelength edge of the band gap but higher order modes of the composite are excited at the short-wavelength edge of the band gap. The plasmon resonant modes can also be controlled by introducing defects.展开更多

They make program maintenance challenging and deteriorate software quality over time. Various detection approaches, ranging from traditional heuristic algorithms to machine learning methods, are used to identify these defects. Ensemble learning methods have strengthened the detection of these defects. However, existing approaches do not simultaneously exploit the capabilities of extracting relevant features from pre-trained models and the performance of neural networks for the classification task. Therefore, our goal has been to design a model that combines a pre-trained model to extract relevant features from code excerpts through transfer learning and a bagging method with a base estimator, a dense neural network, for defect classification. To achieve this, we composed multiple samples of the same size with replacements from the imbalanced dataset MLCQ1. For all the samples, we used the CodeT5-small variant to extract features and trained a bagging method with the neural network Roberta Classification Head to classify defects based on these features. We then compared this model to RandomForest, one of the ensemble methods that yields good results. Our experiments showed that the number of base estimators to use for bagging depends on the defect to be detected. Next, we observed that it was not necessary to use a data balancing technique with our model when the imbalance rate was 23%. Finally, for blob detection, RandomForest had a median MCC value of 0.36 compared to 0.12 for our method. However, our method was predominant in Long Method detection with a median MCC value of 0.53 compared to 0.42 for RandomForest. These results suggest that the performance of ensemble methods in detecting structural development defects is dependent on specific defects.展开更多

This effect is theoretically analyzed and confirmed by numerical calculation. We find that the Bragg wavelength shift is determined by the defect size and the period of the defects. The Bragg wavelength can be well tuned by properly designing the PSDs, and this may provide an alternative method to fabricate grating-based multiwavelength devices, including optical filter arrays and laser arrays. In regards to wavelength precision, the proposed method has an advantage over the traditional methods, where the Bragg wavelengths are changed directly by changing the grating period. In addition, the proposed method can maintain grating strength when tuning the wavelength since only the period of defects is changed. This will be a benefit for devices such as arrays.展开更多

Herein, we make a systematic review on the newly developed thermal reffusivity theory. Like electrical resistivity which has been historically used as a theory for analyzing structural domain size and defect levels of metals, the thermal reffusivity can also uncover phonon behavior, structure defects and domain size of materials. We highlight that this new theory can be used for not only metals, but also nonmetals, even for amorphous materials. From the thermal reffusivity against temperature curves, the Debye temperature of the material and the ideal thermal diffusivity of single perfect crystal can be evaluated. From the residual thermal reffusivity at the 0 K limit, the structural thermal domain （STD） size of crystalline and amorphous materials can be obtained. The difference of white hair and normal black hair from heat conduction perspective is reported for the first time. Loss of melanin results in a worse thermal protection and a larger STD size in the white hair. By reviewing the different variation of thermal reffusivity against decreasing temperature profiles, we conclude that they reflected the structural connection in the materials. Ultimately, the future application of thermal reffusivity theory in studying 2D materials and amorphous materials is discussed.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

From the residual thermal reffusivity at the 0 K limit, the structural thermal domain （STD） size of crystalline and amorphous materials can be obtained. The difference of white hair and normal black hair from heat conduction perspective is reported for the first time. Loss of melanin results in a worse thermal protection and a larger STD size in the white hair. By reviewing the different variation of thermal reffusivity against decreasing temperature profiles, we conclude that they reflected the structural connection in the materials. Ultimately, the future application of thermal reffusivity theory in studying 2D materials and amorphous materials is discussed.

文摘The effects of different defects on optical properties and plasmon resonances properties of Au nanoshell arrays were investigated by using the finite-difference time-domain(FDTD) theory.It is found that the optical properties of the nanoshell arrays are strongly influenced by different defects.We show that when the hollow Au nanoshell arrays are placed in air,there is a wide photonic band gap(PBG) in the infrared region,but the band gap becomes narrower as we introduced different defects.Based on the distributions of electric field component E z and the total energy distribution of the electric and the magnetic field,we show that there exhibit dipoles field distributions for the plasmon mode at the long-wavelength edge of the band gap,but composite higher order modes are excited at the short-wavelength edge of the band gap.The plasmon resonant modes also can be controlled by introducing defects.

文摘Localization due to disorder has been one of the most intriguing theoretical concepts that evolved in condensed matter physics.Here,we expand the theory of localization by considering two types of disorders at the same time,namely,the original Anderson’s disorder and the structural defect disorder,which has been suggested to be a key component in recently discovered two-dimensional amorphous materials.While increasing the degree of both disorders could induce localization of wavefunction in real space,we find that a small degree of structural defect disorder can significantly enhance the localization.As the degree of structural defect disorder increases,localized states quickly appear within the extended phase to enter a broad crossover region with mixed phases.We establish two-dimensional diagrams for the wavefunction localization and conductivity to highlight the interplay between the two types of disorders.Our theoretical model provides a comprehensive understanding of localization in two-dimensional amorphous materials and highlights the promising tunability of their transport properties.

文摘In this study,a Ni-Fe metal-organic framework modified by-NH_(2)and-SH was synthesized using a sim-ple hydrothermal process for enhancing photocatalytic CO_(2)reduction.As expected,the N2S-NiFe(NH_(2)-BDC/H_(4)DSBDC,2:1)displayed excellent photocatalytic CO_(2)reduction activity and high CO selectivity(12,412.23μmol g^(−1)h^(−1))under visible light irradiation(λ≥420 nm),which is 5 times that of NiFe-MOF.Notably,the excellent photocatalytic performance of N2S-NiFe can benefit from the rich defect trap site caused by the introduction of amino and sulfhydryl groups,accelerating charge transfer and promoting space charge separation,as supported by the photo-electrochemical properties.To better understand the CO_(2)adsorption mechanism,density functional theory calculations were performed,which revealed that the Niov site has more negative adsorption energy compared with the Feov site.This study provides a simple strategy to establish efficient photocatalysts for CO_(2)reduction through the modification of organic ligands.

文摘Double-resonance Raman(DRR)scattering in two-di-mensional(2D)materials describes the intravalley or intervalley scattering of an electron or a hole excited by incident photons.Although the presence of defects can provide additional momentum and influence the scat-tering process involving one or two phonons,only the idealized defects without any structural details are considered in tra-ditional DRR theory.Here,the second-order DRR spectra of WSe_(2) monolayer with different types of defects are calculated involving the combinations of acoustic and optical phonons in the vicinity of K(K')and M points of the Brillouin zone.The electronic band structures are modified due to the presence of defects,and the band unfolding method is adopted to show the bending of valence and conduction bands for the defective WSe_(2) monolayers.The associ-ated phononic band structures also exhibit different changes in phonon dispersion curves,re-sulting in different DRR spectra corresponding to the different types of defects in the WSe_(2) monolayers.For example,the existence of W vacancy in the WSe_(2) monolayer would result in downshifts in vibrational frequencies and asymmetrical broadenings in linewidths for most combination modes due to the dramatic changes in contour shape of electronic valleys at K and K'.Moreover,the scattering from K to Q is found to be forbidden for the two Se vacan-cies because of the elevation of conduction band at the Q point.Our work highlights the role of defect structures in the intervalley scattering and may provide better understanding in the underlying physics of DRR process in 2D materials.

文摘Pyrochlore oxide(Y_(2)Ru_(2)O_(7))has been identified as a promising catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction(OER)in advanced green energy strategies.However,its electrochemical inertness necessitates the exploration of an effective strategy to facilitate electronic modulation.This study proposes a surface modification approach involving the integration of defective NiFe(D-NiFe)nanoparticles onto a Y_(2)Ru_(2)O_(7)(YRO)support(YRO@D-NiFeP/Ru)using a Prussian blue analog(PBA).Numerous cyanide(CN)vacancies are generated through the oxidation treatment of the NiFe PBA grown on the YRO support,yielding a defective PBA precursor(YRO@D-PBA).Subsequent annealing facilitates the transformation to the D-NiFe nanoparticles on the YRO support(YRO@D-NiFeP/Ru),which augments the exposure of Ni3+active sites beneficial for the OER.Moreover,the reduction of Ru cations from YRO results in the exsolution of Ru nanoparticles,which promotes synergistic charge transfer from the nanoparticles to the interior of Y_(2)Ru_(2)O_(7).Consequently,YRO@D-NiFeP/Ru exhibits a remarkable voltage of 1.49 V at 10 mA·cm^(−2) and the lowest Tafel slope of 42.4 mV·dec^(−1).In addition,a Zn–air battery constructed with YRO@D-NiFeP/Ru exhibits an outstanding power density of 136.2 mW·cm^(−2) and high charge–discharge stability,confirming the applicability of YRO@D-NiFeP/Ru in metal-air batteries.

文摘Design of a miniaturized lumped-element bandpass filter in multilayer liquid crystal polymer technology is proposed.Fractional bandwidth of the bandpass filter is 20%,operating at a center frequency of 500 MHz.In order to further reduce the size and improve the performance of the proposed filter,defected ground structure(DGS)has been implemented in the filter.Based on this structure,the volume of the inductor is reduced by 60%eficiently compared with the inductor without DGS,and the Q-factor is increased up to 257%compared with the traditional multilayer spiral inductor.The measured results indicate that the designed filter has a very sharp stopband,an insertion loss of 2.3dB,and a return loss of 18.6dB in the passband.The whole volume of the fabricated filter is 0.032入_(g)×0.05入_(g)×0.00075入_(g),where Ag is the guided wavelength of the center frequency.The proposed filter is easily integrated into radio-frequency/microwave circuitry at a low manufacturing cost,especially wireless communication.
文摘A compact high-scanning-rate circular-polarized leaky-wave antenna(LWA)based on a meandering substrate integrated waveguide(SIW)with defected ground structures(DGSs)is presented.The meandering-SIW design is employed to enhance the beam scanning rate,while circular polarization is achieved by etchingπ-shaped slots on the top plane.To suppress the open stopband at broadside,offset circular DGSs are periodically etched on the ground plane.Their impact on the reflection coefficient and axial ratio is then analyzed through a parametric study.A prototype of the antenna is simulated,fabricated,and measured.Both simulated and measured results indicate a scanning rate of approximately 8.6,with continuous beam scanning from-41°to 59°across the 11.3-12.7 GHz operating band.The antenna maintains an axial ratio below 3 dB within the 11.5-12.3 GHz range.This design shows promise for use in wireless communication systems,particularly in environments with increasingly limited spectrum resources.

文摘In this paper,a compact defected ground structure loaded ultra high frequency dual-band bandpass flter is designed and implemented based on multilayer liquid crystal polymer technology.This novel filter is simply composed with several lumped and semi-lumped elements,to create a dual-passband response.In order to enhance the out-of-band rejection,a feedback capacitor C_(z) at the in/out ports of the filter is introduced,and four transmission zeros(TZs)are obtained outside the pass band.Furthermore,the position of TZs can be determined by adjusting the value of C_(z).The schematic and design process of the filter are given in this paper.The center frequencies of dual-band bandpass filter are 0.9 GHz and 2.45 GHz,and the 3-dB bandwidths are 13.7%and 14.3%,respectively.The circuit size is 11 mm×9.5 mm×0.193 mm.The proposed filter has been fabricated and tested,and the measured result is in good agreement with the simulation result.

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.
