Acoustic Emission (AE) technology has shown promise for identifying and monitoring these defects, and this study evaluates an advanced on-vehicle AE detection approach using bone-conduct sensors—a solution to improve upon previous AE methods of using on-rail sensor installations, which required extensive, costly on-rail sensor networks with limited effectiveness. In response to these challenges, the study specifically explored bone-conduct sensors mounted directly on the vehicle rather than rails by evaluating AE signals generated by the interaction between rails and the train’s wheels while in motion. In this research, a prototype detection system was developed and tested through initial trials at the Nevada Railroad Museum using a track with pre-damaged welding defects. Further testing was conducted at the Transportation Technology Center Inc. (rebranded as MxV Rail) in Colorado, where the system’s performance was evaluated across various defect types and train speeds. The results indicated that bone-conduct sensors were insufficient for detecting AE signals when mounted on moving vehicles. These findings highlight the limitations of contact-based methods in real-world applications and indicate the need for exploring improved, non-contact approaches.展开更多

文摘AgCrSe2-based compounds have attracted much attention as an environmentally friendly thermoelectric material in recent years due to the intriguing liquid-like properties.However,the ultra-low carrier concentration and the high Ag_(Cr)deep-level defects limit the overall thermoelectric performance.Here,we successfully introduced Pb into Ag-deficient Ag_(0.97)CrSe_(2) alloys to tune the carrier concentration across a broad temperature range.The Pb^(2+) as an acceptor dopant preferentially occupies Cr sites,boosting the hole carrier concentration to 1.77×10^(19) cm^(-3) at room temperature.Furthermore,the Pb strongly inhibits the creation of intrinsic Ag_(Cr) defects,weakens the increased thermal excited ionization with the increasing temperature and slowed the rising trend of the carrier concentration.The designed carrier concentration matches the theoretically predicted optimized one over the entire temperature range,leading to a remarkable enhancement in power factor,especially the maximum power factor of ~500 μW·m^(-1)·K^(-2) at 750 K is superior to most previous results.Additionally,the abundant point defects promote phonon scattering,thus reducing the lattice thermal conductivity.As a result,the maximum figure of merit zT(~0.51 at 750 K) is achieved in Ag_(0.97)Cr_(0.995)Pb_(0.005)Se_(2).This work confirms the feasibility of manipulating deep-level defects to achieve temperature-dependent optimal carrier concentration and provides a valuable guidance for other thermoelectric materials.

文摘Defect engineering is pivotal in comprehending physical mechanisms that govern carrier transport and device performance.The defect evolution and carrier manipulation in Sn-doped Ga_(2)O_(3)bulk crystals subjected to different thermal treatments were investigated,utilizing depth-profiled deep-level transient spectroscopy(DLTS)and frequency-dependent capacitance-voltage(C-V-f)techniques.In untreated Sn-doped Ga_(2)O_(3)with an electron concentration of 6.37×10^(17)cm^(−3),two dominant electron traps,E_(T1)(E_(C)−0.68 eV)and E_(T2)(E_(C)−0.76 eV),were identified,corresponding to gallium vacancy(V_(Ga))and the neutral complex of V_(Ga)-V_(O),respectively,and characterized as bulk traps.Fe Ga-related defects,E_(T3)(E_(C)−0.84 eV),were concentrated near surface.Nitrogen annealing significantly reduced E_(T1),increased E_(T2)density from 6.13×10^(15)to 1.1×10^(16)cm^(−3),and raised the interfacial state density(D_(it))to 3.36×10^(15)eV^(−1)cm^(−2),accompanied by an elevated electron concentration of 7.48×10^(18)cm^(−3).In contrast,air annealing enhanced E_(T1),with a density of 1.42×10^(16)cm^(−3),suppressed of E_(T2)/E_(T3)traps,resulting in a lower D_(it)of 1.74×10^(14)eV^(−1)cm^(−2),and a reduced electron concentration to 3.01×10^(16)cm^(−3).The findings reveal that a reducing environment induces V_(O)formation and converts discrete V_(Ga)acceptors into neutral V_(Ga)-V_(O)complexes,leading to downward surface band bending and electron accumulation.Conversely,V_(Ga)-V_(O)complexes are dissociated into V_(Ga)acceptors in oxidizing conditions,leading to an upward surface band bending and electron compensation.This work underscores the carrier concentration manipulation by defect engineering in Ga_(2)O_(3),offering insights essential for developing high-performance gallium oxide electronics.

文摘The deep-level defects of Cd Zn Te（CZT）crystals grown by the modified vertical Bridgman（MVB）method act as trapping centers or recombination centers in the band gap,which have significant effects on its electrical properties.The resistivity and electron mobility–lifetime product of high resistivity Cd（0.9）Zn（0.1）Te wafer marked CZT1 and low resistivity Cd（0.9）Zn（0.1）Te wafer marked CZT2 were tested respectively.Their deep-level defects were identified by thermally stimulated current（TSC）spectroscopy and thermoelectric effect spectroscopy（TEES）respectively.Then the trap-related parameters were characterized by the simultaneous multiple peak analysis（SIMPA）method.The deep donor level（EDD/dominating dark current was calculated by the relationship between dark current and temperature.The Fermi-level was characterized by current–voltage measurements of temperature dependence.The width of the band gap was characterized by ultraviolet-visible-infrared transmittance spectroscopy.The results show the traps concentration and capture cross section of CZT1 are lower than CZT2,so its electron mobility–lifetime product is greater than CZT2.The Fermi-level of CZT1 is closer to the middle gap than CZT2.The degree of Fermi-level pinned by EDDof CZT1 is larger than CZT2.It can be concluded that the resistivity of CZT crystals increases as the degree of Fermi-level pinned near the middle gap by the deep donor level enlarges.
文摘Based on inspection data,the authors analyze and summarize the main types and distribution characteristics of tunnel structural defects.These defects are classified into three types:surface defects,internal defects,and defects behind the structure.To address the need for rapid detection of different defect types,the current state of rapid detection technologies and equipment,both domestically and internationally,is systematically reviewed.The research reveals that surface defect detection technologies and equipment have developed rapidly in recent years.Notably,the integration of machine vision and laser scanning technologies have significantly improved detection efficiency and accuracy,achieving crack detection precision of up to 0.1 mm.However,the non-contact rapid detection of internal and behind-the-structure defects remains constrained by hardware limitations,with traditional detection remaining dominant.Nevertheless,phased array radar,ultrasonic,and acoustic vibration detection technologies have become research hotspots in recent years,offering promising directions for detecting these challenging defect types.Additionally,the application of multisensor fusion technology in rapid detection equipment has further enhanced detection capabilities.Devices such as cameras,3D laser scanners,infrared thermal imagers,and radar demonstrate significant advantages in rapid detection.Future research in tunnel inspection should prioritize breakthroughs in rapid detection technologies for internal and behind-the-structure defects.Efforts should also focus on developing multifunctional integrated detection vehicles that can simultaneously inspect both surface and internal structures.Furthermore,progress in fully automated,intelligent systems with precise defect identification and real-time reporting will be essential to significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of tunnel inspection.

文摘In integrated circuit(IC)manufacturing,fast,nondestructive,and precise detection of defects in patterned wafers,realized by bright-field microscopy,is one of the critical factors for ensuring the final performance and yields of chips.With the critical dimensions of IC nanostructures continuing to shrink,directly imaging or classifying deep-subwavelength defects by bright-field microscopy is challenging due to the well-known diffraction barrier,the weak scattering effect,and the faint correlation between the scattering cross-section and the defect morphology.Herein,we propose an optical far-field inspection method based on the form-birefringence scattering imaging of the defective nanostructure,which can identify and classify various defects without requiring optical super-resolution.The technique is built upon the principle of breaking the optical form birefringence of the original periodic nanostructures by the defect perturbation under the anisotropic illumination modes,such as the orthogonally polarized plane waves,then combined with the high-order difference of far-field images.We validated the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method in detecting deep subwavelength defects through rigid vector imaging modeling and optical detection experiments of various defective nanostructures based on polarization microscopy.On this basis,an intelligent classification algorithm for typical patterned defects based on a dual-channel AlexNet neural network has been proposed,stabilizing the classification accuracy ofλ/16-sized defects with highly similar features at more than 90%.The strong classification capability of the two-channel network on typical patterned defects can be attributed to the high-order difference image and its transverse gradient being used as the network’s input,which highlights the polarization modulation difference between different patterned defects more significantly than conventional bright-field microscopy results.This work will provide a new but easy-to-operate method for detecting and classifying deep-subwavelength defects in patterned wafers or photomasks,which thus endows current online inspection equipment with more missions in advanced IC manufacturing.

文摘Phenanthrene(Phe)is one of the common polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the environment,and recent studies show that it can cause cardiac developmental toxicity and immunotoxicity.However,it is still unknown whether it can affect the hematopoietic development in aquatic organisms.To address this question,zebrafish(Danio rerio)were chronically exposed to Phe at different concentrations.We found that Phe caused structural damage to the renal tubules in the kidney,induced malformed erythrocytes in peripheral blood,and decreased the proportion of myeloid cells in adult zebrafish,suggesting possible negative impacts that Phe posed to hematopoietic development.Then,using in situ hybridization technology,we found that Phe decreased the expression of primitive hematopoietic marker genes,specifically gata1 and pu.1,accompanied by an obstruction of primitive erythrocyte circulation.Furthermore,Phe impaired definitive hematopoiesis,increased aberrations of the transient hematopoietic site(PBI),and reduced the generation of hematopoietic stem cells,ultimately influencing the number of erythrocytes and myeloid cells.The findings suggested that Phe could induce hematopoietic toxicity in zebrafish embryos and pose unknown ecological risks.

文摘Infectious bone defects represent a substantial challenge in clinical practice,necessitating the deployment of advanced therapeutic strategies.This study presents a treatment modality that merges a mild photothermal therapy hydrogel with a pulsed drug delivery mechanism.The system is predicated on a hydrogel matrix that is thermally responsive,characteristic of bone defect sites,facilitating controlled and site-specific drug release.The cornerstone of this system is the incorporation of mild photothermal nanoparticles,which are activated within the temperature range of 40–43°C,thereby enhancing the precision and efficacy of drug delivery.Our findings demonstrate that the photothermal response significantly augments the localized delivery of therapeutic agents,mitigating systemic side effects and bolstering efficacy at the defect site.The synchronized pulsed release,cooperated with mild photothermal therapy,effectively addresses infection control,and promotes bone regeneration.This approach signifies a considerable advancement in the management of infectious bone defects,offering an effective and patient-centric alternative to traditional methods.Our research endeavors to extend its applicability to a wider spectrum of tissue regeneration scenarios,underscoring its transformative potential in the realm of regenerative medicine.

文摘To solve the problem of low detection accuracy for complex weld defects,the paper proposes a weld defects detection method based on improved YOLOv5s.To enhance the ability to focus on key information in feature maps,the scSE attention mechanism is intro-duced into the backbone network of YOLOv5s.A Fusion-Block module and additional layers are added to the neck network of YOLOv5s to improve the effect of feature fusion,which is to meet the needs of complex object detection.To reduce the computation-al complexity of the model,the C3Ghost module is used to replace the CSP2_1 module in the neck network of YOLOv5s.The scSE-ASFF module is constructed and inserted between the neck network and the prediction end,which is to realize the fusion of features between the different layers.To address the issue of imbalanced sample quality in the dataset and improve the regression speed and accuracy of the loss function,the CIoU loss function in the YOLOv5s model is replaced with the Focal-EIoU loss function.Finally,ex-periments are conducted based on the collected weld defect dataset to verify the feasibility of the improved YOLOv5s for weld defects detection.The experimental results show that the precision and mAP of the improved YOLOv5s in detecting complex weld defects are as high as 83.4%and 76.1%,respectively,which are 2.5%and 7.6%higher than the traditional YOLOv5s model.The proposed weld defects detection method based on the improved YOLOv5s in this paper can effectively solve the problem of low weld defects detection accuracy.

文摘Achieving high-quality perovskite films without surface defects is regarded as a crucial target for the development of durable high-performance perovskite solar cells.Additive engineering is commonly employed to simultaneously control the growth of perovskite crystals and passivate defects.Here,4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic anhydride(4-TBA)composed of benzene rings functionalized with carbonyl and trifluoromethyl groups was used as an example additive to study the characteristics of additives used for producing high-quality perovskites and controlling their surface properties.The interaction between4-TBA and perovskite precursor materials was investigated using density functional theory(DFT)simulations.The electron-rich carbonyl group efficiently passivated the under-coordinated lead-ion defects.Additionally,hydrogen bonding between trifluoromethyl and organic cations prevents the generation of cation vacancies.Because of its intrinsic hydrophobicity,the trifluoromethyl group simultaneously improves the moisture and heat stability of the film.4-TBA serves as a universal modifier for various perovskite compositions.The power conversion efficiency(PCE)of inverted perovskite solar cells(PSCs)based on methylammonium(MA)with 4-TBA was improved from 16.15%to 19.28%.Similarly,the PCE of inverted PSCs based on a cesium formamidinium MA(CsFAMA)perovskite film increased from20.72%to 23.58%,upon addition of 4-TBA.Furthermore,the moisture and thermal stability of 4-TBAtreated films and devices was significantly enhanced,along with prolonged device performance.Our work provides guidance on selecting the structure and functional groups that are essential for surface defect passivation and the production of high-quality perovskites.

文摘A comprehensive understanding of the relevance between molecular structure and passivation ability to screen efficient modifiers is essential for enhancing the performance of perovskite solar cells(PSCs).Here,three similarπ-πstacking molecules namely benzophenone(BPN),diphenyl sulfone(DPS),and diphenyl sulfoxide(DPSO)are used as back-interface modifiers in carbon-based CsPbBr_(3)PSCs.After investigation,the results demonstrate the positive effect of the p-πconjugation characteristic inπ-πstacking molecules on maximizing their passivation ability.The p-πco njugation of DPSO enables a higher coordinative activity of oxygen atom in its S=O group than that in 0=S=O group of DPS and C=O group of BPN,which gives a superior passivation effect of DPSO on defects of perovskite films.The modification of DPSO also significantly improves the p-type behavior of perovskite films and the back-interfacial energetics matching,inducing an increase of hole extraction and a decrease of energy loss.Finally,the unencapsulated carbon-based CsPbBr_(3)PSCs with DPSO achieve a maximum power conversion efficiency of 10.60%and outstanding long-term stability in high-temperature,high-humidity(85℃,85%relative humidity)air environment.This work provides insights into the influence of the structure ofπ-πstacking molecules on their ability to improve the perovskite films quality and therefore the PSCs performance.

文摘The impact of casting defects on the weldability of K4951 superalloy was investigated using tungsten inert gas(TIG)welding.The as-cast K4951 superalloy samples with prefabricated U-shaped grooves of varying depths and widths were TIG welded,and the microstructures,cracks morphology,and precipitated phases were analyzed using optical microscope,scanning electron microscope,transmission electron microscope,and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer.The results reveal that the dimensions of casting defects significantly affect the weldability of K4951.Deep defects(greater than 2 mm)lead to rapid crack propagation,while wider defects can moderate the propagation process of cracks.Elemental segregation and the formation of precipitated phases,such as MC carbides,are observed in the fusion zone,contributing to welding cracks.An optimal groove aspect ratio(depth-to-width)between 0.2 and 0.5 minimizes crack formation tendency and enhances tensile strength,resulting in a mixed brittle-ductile fracture mode of joint after high-temperature tensile testing.
文摘Rail defects can pose significant safety risks in railway operations, raising the need for effective detection methods. Acoustic Emission (AE) technology has shown promise for identifying and monitoring these defects, and this study evaluates an advanced on-vehicle AE detection approach using bone-conduct sensors—a solution to improve upon previous AE methods of using on-rail sensor installations, which required extensive, costly on-rail sensor networks with limited effectiveness. In response to these challenges, the study specifically explored bone-conduct sensors mounted directly on the vehicle rather than rails by evaluating AE signals generated by the interaction between rails and the train’s wheels while in motion. In this research, a prototype detection system was developed and tested through initial trials at the Nevada Railroad Museum using a track with pre-damaged welding defects. Further testing was conducted at the Transportation Technology Center Inc. (rebranded as MxV Rail) in Colorado, where the system’s performance was evaluated across various defect types and train speeds. The results indicated that bone-conduct sensors were insufficient for detecting AE signals when mounted on moving vehicles. These findings highlight the limitations of contact-based methods in real-world applications and indicate the need for exploring improved, non-contact approaches.

文摘Current research on localized raceway defects of angular contact ball bearings(ACBB)mainly focuses on assuming that localized raceway defects are cube-shaped defects characterized using a half-sine displacement excitation function.However,the assumption of a cube-shaped defect cannot accurately reflect the morphological characteristics of a localized raceway defect,and the half-sine displacement excitation function cannot be used to accurately describe the relationship between the geometric positions of rolling element and raceway in the region of localized raceway defects.In this study,a comprehensive dynamic model of an ACBB considering a three-dimensional localized raceway defect is established based on the nonlinear Hertz contact theory in conjunction with the outer raceway control theory using the improved Newton–Raphson iteration method.Three localized raceway defect distribution types,namely symmetric,offset,and deflection distributions,are considered.The established model is verified by comparing the results of the proposed model with those of existing literature.The dynamic characteristics of the ACBB were analyzed by investigating the effects of the geometrical size and distribution types on the time-varying contact angles,contact forces,and diagonal stiffness of the ACBB.The investigation results show that the appearance of localized raceway defect leads to the time-varying curves of contact angles,contact forces and diagonal stiffness havingΛ-and V-shaped mutations in some time intervals;The variation tendencies of theΛ-and V-shaped mutations are significant with the increase in defect radial depth H,defect axial width a and angular distanceθ_b.The increase in defect eccentric distance L is beneficial to the rolling elements disengaging from the defect area and it can weaken the influence of localized raceway defect on the time-varying contact and stiffness characteristics of ACBB.The time-varying contact and stiffness characteristics appear to change significantly when the defect deflection angleα_βincrease toα_γ.The results of this study provide a theoretical basis for the fault diagnosis of localized raceway defects in ACBB.

文摘The advancement of aqueous magnesium ion energy storage devices encounters limitations due to the substantial hydration radius of magnesium ions(Mg^(2+))and their strong electrostatic interaction with the primary material.Consequently,this study successfully developed a MnS/MnO heterostructure through a straightforward hydrothermal and annealing method,marking its initial application in aqueous magnesium ion capacitors(AMICs).The fabricated MnS/MnO heterostructure,characterized by S defects,also generates Mn defects via in-situ initiation of early electrochemical processes.This unique dual ion defects MnS/MnO heterostructure(DID-MnS/MnO)enables the transformation of MnS and MnO,initially not highly active electrochemically for Mg^(2+),into cathode materials exhibiting high electrochemical activity and superior performance.Moreover,DID-MnS/MnO enhances conductivity,improves the kinetics of surface redox reactions,and increases the diffusion rate of Mg^(2+).Furthermore,this study introduces a dual energy storage mechanism for DID-MnS/MnO,which,in conjunction with dual ion defects,offers additional active sites for Mg^(2+)insertion/deinsertion in the host material,mitigating volume expansion and structural degradation during repeated charge-discharge cycles,thereby significantly enhancing cycling reversibility.As anticipated,using a three-electrode system,the developed DID-MnS/MnO demonstrated a discharge specific capacity of 237.9 mAh/g at a current density of 0.1 A/g.Remarkably,the constructed AMIC maintained a capacity retention rate of 94.3%after 10000 cycles at a current density of 1.0 A/g,with a specific capacitance of 165.7 F/g.Hence,DID-MnS/MnO offers insightful perspectives for designing alternative clean energy sources and is expected to contribute significantly to the advancement of the clean energy sector.

文摘In clinical settings,regenerating critical-sized calvarial bone defects presents substantial problems owing to the intricacy of surgical methods,restricted bone growth medications,and a scarcity of commercial bone grafts.To treat this life-threatening issue,improved biofunctional grafts capable of properly healing critical-sized bone defects are required.In this study,we effectively created anti-fracture hydrogel systems using spongy-like metal-organic(magnesium-phosphate)coordinated chitosan-modified injectable hydrogels(CPMg)loaded with a bioinspired neobavaisoflavone(NBF)component.The CPMg-NBF hydrogels showed outstanding anti-fracture capabilities during compression testing and retained exceptional mechanical stability even after 28 d of immersion in phosphatebuffered saline.They also demonstrated prolonged and stable release profiles of Mg^(2+)and NBF.Importantly,CPMg-NBF hydrogels revealed robust biphasic mineralization and were non-toxic to MC3T3-E1 cells.To better understand the underlying mechanism of Mg^(2+)and NBF component,as well as their synergistic effect on osteogenesis,we investigated the expression of key osteogenic proteins in the p38 MAPK and NOTCH pathways.Our results showed that CPMg-NBF hydrogels greatly increased the expression of osteogenic proteins(Runx2,OCN,OPN,BMPS and ALP).In vivo experiments showed that the implantation of CPMg-NBF hydrogels resulted in a significant increase in new bone growth within critical-sized calvarial defects.Based on these findings,we expect that the CPMg-NBF supramolecular hydrogel has tremendous promise for use as a therapeutic biomaterial for treating critical-sized calvarial defects.
文摘As one of the important components of high-effi-ciency perovskite/silicon series devices,wide-bandgap(WBG)perovskite solar cells(PSCs)have been suffering from serious carrier transport barriers and huge open-circuit voltage deficit de-rived from non-radiative recombination,especial-ly at the buried interface that are often overlooked.Herein,we combined cationic and anion passiva-tion strategies via ammonium tetra-n-butyl tetrafluoroborate(TBABF_(4))pre-treating the buried interface.Theoretical calculation predicts that the tetrabutylammonium(TBA^(+))organic cations and(tetrafluoroborate)BF_(4)^(−)anions can easily interact with charged interfacial defect.Characterizations further confirm the enhance-ment of carrier transport performance and decrease in defect density upon TBABF4 pre-treat-ment.Consequently,a power conversion efficiency of 21.35%with an ultrahigh filling factor of 84.12%is obtained for 1.68 eV-WBG inverted PSCs.In addition,the device with TBABF4 pre-treatment demonstrates excellent shelf,thermal,and operational stability.
