文摘We demonstrate an effective and optimal strategy for generating spatially resolved longitudinal spin angular momentum(LSAM)in optical tweezers by tightly focusing the first-order spirally polarized vector(SPV)beams with zero intrinsic angular momentum into a refractive index stratified medium.The stratified medium gives rise to a spherically aberrated intensity profile near the focal region of the optical tweezers,with off-axis intensity lobes in the radial direction possessing opposite LSAM(helicities corresponding toσ=+1 and−1)compared to the beam center.We trap mesoscopic birefringent particles in an off-axis intensity lobe as well as at the beam center by modifying the trapping plane and observe particles spinning in opposite directions depending on their location.The direction of rotation depends on the particle size with larger particles spinning either clockwise or anticlockwise depending on the direction of spirality of the polarization of the SPV beam after tight focusing,while smaller particles spin in both directions depending on their spatial locations.Numerical simulations support our experimental observations.Our results introduce new avenues in spin-orbit optomechanics to facilitate novel yet straightforward avenues for exotic and complex particle manipulation in optical tweezers.

文摘Because the grinding temperature is high when grinding using conventional disordered grinding wheels,the grinding quality improvement is limited when using single abrasive ordered grinding wheels,and the wheel preparation process is complex and costly when using microstructured grinding wheels,abrasive groups ordered grinding wheels are widely investigated.However,there is a paucity of systematic analyses and comprehensive reviews focused on abrasive groups ordered grinding wheels.Therefore,this paper defines abrasive groups ordered grinding wheels and classifies them,based on their unique characteristics,into groups such as abrasive blocks ordered grinding wheel,fine grain structured grinding wheel,abrasive clusters ordered grinding wheel,and abrasive fibers ordered grinding wheel.We provide an overview of the latest advances in wheel structures,preparation methods,and abrasive selection for various types of abrasive groups ordered grinding wheels.Furthermore,we conduct a comparative analysis of the existing types,significant advantages,and challenges associated with the four types of abrasive groups ordered grinding wheels.Looking ahead,given the potential of abrasive groups ordered grinding wheels in reducing grinding force and temperature,we recommend further exploration of their application in combination with special processing techniques.This could pave the way for the development of machining processes that are more environmentally friendly,energy-efficient,and precise.

文摘Optical coherence is a fundamental property of light,playing a key role in understanding interference,propagation,and light-matter interactions for both classical and quantum light.Measuring the coherence properties of an optical field is crucial for a wide range of applications.However,despite many proposed measurement schemes,significant challenges still remain.In this work,we present a protocol to measure the full-dimensional coherence properties of a partially coherent beam.The method is based on tomographing the complex coherent modes of the partially coherent field within its coherence time.Once the complex coherent modes are reconstructed,all coherence properties including field correlation and its higher-order correlations(e.g.,intensity correlation)can be recovered for beams that are either spatially uniformly or non-uniformly correlated.We perform a proof-of-principle experiment to measure the complex field correlation and intensity correlation of a structured partially coherent beam synthesized by random modes.Additionally,we discuss the application of full-dimensional complex coherence function tomography in coherence-based multi-cipher information security.The robustness of our system in complex environments is also evaluated.

文摘The dissolution behaviors of lime,limestone,and core–shell structured lime,as well as their effects on dephosphorization behavior were studied.The results show that the slow dissolution of lime in converter slag is mainly attributed to the calcium silicate layer at the lime/slag interface.CO_(2)generated by CaCO_(3)decomposition can destroy the calcium silicate layer,and thus accelerates the dissolution of limestone and core–shell structured lime.However,in the initial stage,a large amount of CO_(2)emission generated by limestone decomposition results in the poor contact between molten slag and limestone,and the dissolution rate is slower in the test of limestone than that of lime.For core–shell structured lime,the initial dissolution rate is not affected due to the lime surface,and is accelerated by the appropriate CO_(2)emission.Rapid CaO pickup in molten slag by fast dissolution of the lime sample can remarkably accelerate the dephosphorization reaction.Because of the fastest dissolution rate,the core–shell structured lime slagging mode shows the most promising prospects for the efficient dephosphorization.

文摘The structured low-rank model for parallel magnetic resonance(MR)imaging can efficiently reconstruct MR images with limited auto-calibration signals.To improve the reconstruction quality of MR images,we integrate the joint sparsity and sparsifying transform learning(JTL)into the simultaneous auto-calibrating and k-space estimation(SAKE)structured low-rank model,named JTLSAKE.The alternate direction method of multipliers is exploited to solve the resulting optimization problem,and the optimized gradient method is used to improve the convergence speed.In addition,a graphics processing unit is used to accelerate the proposed algorithm.The experimental results on four in vivo human datasets demonstrate that the reconstruction quality of the proposed algorithm is comparable to that of JTL-based low-rank modeling of local k-space neighborhoods with parallel imaging(JTL-PLORAKS),and the proposed algorithm is 46 times faster than the JTL-PLORAKS,requiring only 4 s to reconstruct a 200×200 pixels MR image with 8 channels.

文摘We propose an all-optical,single-laser-pulse scheme for generating a dense relativistic strongly magnetized electron-positron pair plasma.The scheme involves the interaction of an extremely intense(I■10^(24) W/cm^(2))circularly polarized laser pulse with a solid-density target containing a conical cavity.Through full-scale three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations that account for quantum electrodynamic effects,it is shown that this interaction results in two significant outcomes:first,the generation of quasi-static magnetic fields reaching tens of gigagauss,and,second,the production of large quantities of electron-positron pairs(up to 10^(13))via the Breit-Wheeler process.The e^(-)e^(+)plasma becomes trapped in the magnetic field and remains confined in a small volume for hundreds of femtoseconds,far exceeding the laser timescale.The dependence of pair plasma parameters,as well as the efficiency of plasma production and confinement,is discussed in relation to the properties of the laser pulse and the target.Realizing this scheme experimentally would enable the investigation of physical processes relevant to extreme astrophysical environments.

文摘Traditional metal sulfides used as anodes for sodium-ion batteries are hindered by sluggish kinetics,which limits their rate performance.Previous attempts to address this issue focused on nanostructured configurations with conductive frameworks.However,these nanomaterials often suffer from low packing density and the tendency for nanoparticles to agglomerate,posing significant challenges for practical applications.To overcome these limitations,this study presents a novel bimetal superionic anode material Cu_(3.21)Bi_(4.79)S_(9),which effectively resolves the conflict between sluggish kinetics and micrometer-scale particle size.By leveraging the vacancies created by free Cu and Bi atoms,this material forms rapid migration channels during sodium insertion and extraction,significantly reducing the migration barriers for sodium ions.The development of micrometer-scale Cu_(3.21)Bi_(4.79)S_(9)enables ultrafast chargingdischarging capabilities,achieving a reversible capacity of 325.5 mAh g^(-1)after 4000 cycles at a high rate of 45 C(15 A g^(-1)).This work marks a significant advancement in the field by offering a solution to the inherent trade-off between high capacity and rate performance in coarse-grained materials,reducing the need for reliance on nanostructured configurations for next-generation high-capacity anode materials.

文摘1.Introduction The strength-ductility trade-offdilemma has long been a per-sistent challenge in Al matrix composites(AMCs)[1,2].This is-sue primarily arises from the agglomeration of reinforcements at the grain boundaries(GBs),which restricts local plastic flow dur-ing the plastic deformation and leads to stress concentration[3,4].Recently,the development of concepts aimed at achieving hetero-geneous grain has emerged as a promising approach for enhanc-ing comprehensive mechanical properties[5,6].
