文摘The large-scale production of high-Ti steels is limited by the formation of Ti-containing oxides or nitrides in steel-slag reactions during continuous casting.These processes degrade mold flux properties,clog submerged entry nozzles,form floaters in the molds,and produce various surface defects on the cast slabs.This review summarizes the effects of nonmetallic inclusions on traditional CaO-SiO_(2)-based(CS)mold fluxes and novel CaO-Al_(2)O_(3)-based(CA)low-or non-reactive fluxes containing TiO_(2),BaO,and B_(2)O_(3)additives to avoid undesirable steel,slag,and inclusion reactions,with the aim of providing a new perspective for research and practice related to balancing the lubrication and heat transfer of mold fluxes to promote smooth operation and reduce surface defects on cast slabs.For traditional CS mold flux,although the addition of solvents such as Na_(2)O,Li_(2)O,and B_(2)O_(3)can enhance flowability,steel-slag reactions persist,limiting the effectiveness of CS mold fluxes in high-Ti steel casting.Low-or non-reactive CA mold fluxes with reduced SiO_(2)content are a research focus,where adding other components can significantly change flux characteristics.Replacing CaO with BaO can lower the melting point and inhibit crystallization,allowing the flux to maintain good flowability at low temperatures.Replacing SiO_(2)with TiO_(2)can stabilize the viscosity and enhance heat transfer.To reduce the environmental impact,fluorides are replaced with components such as TiO_(2),B_(2)O_(3),BaO,Li_(2)O,and Na_(2)O for F-frce mold fluxes with similar lubrication,crystallization,and heat-transfer effects.When TiO_(2)replaces CaF_(2),it stabilizes the viscosity and enhances the heat conductivity,forming CaTiO_(3)and CaSiTiO_(5)phases instead of cuspidine to control crystallization.B_(2)O_(3)lowers the melting point and suppresses crystallization,forming phases such as Ca_(3)B_(2)O_(6)and Ca_(11)Si_(4)B_(2)O_(22).BaO introduces non-bridging oxygen to reduce viscosity and ensure flux flowability at low temperatures.However,further studies are required to determine the optimal mold flux compositions corresponding to the steel grades and the interactions between the various components of the mold flux.In the future,the practical application of new mold fluxes for high-Ti steel will become the focus of further verification to achieve a balance between lubrication and heat transfer,which is expected to minimize the occurrence of casting problems and slab defects.
文摘Synchronous reluctance motors(SynRM)are widely employed in industrial applications due to their high robustness,low cost,and absence of permanent magnets.In recent years,significant research efforts have focused on improving the controllability and efficiency of SynRM.Accurate rotor position information is essential for the controller to generate appropriate current and voltage references corresponding to the desired speed and load torque.Shaft-mounted position sensors are generally undesirable because of their high cost,sensitivity to harsh operating conditions,maintenance requirements,and reduced reliability in environments characterized by high vibration.Consequently,sensorless control techniques that estimate rotor position using measured stator currents and voltages have attracted increasing attention.However,magnetic saturation,parameter nonlinearities,and cross-coupling effects significantly degrade position estimation accuracy and may compromise the stability of sensorless SynRM drives.In this paper,a nonlinear SynRM model is developed using finite element analysis(FEA)to accurately capture magnetic saturation and cross-coupling effects,thereby providing a precise representation of the machine’s electromagnetic behavior under varying load and flux conditions.A series of magnetostatic FEA simulations is performed.To reduce computational complexity,only one motor pole is analyzed by applying anti-periodic boundary conditions along the domain sides and enforcing a zero magnetic vector potential on the external stator boundary.Nonlinear iron material properties are modeled using the appropriate B-H curve.The simulations are carried out by imposing d-and q-axis current components and computing the corresponding flux linkages and electromagnetic torque.Based on these results,both apparent and incremental inductances are extracted and incorporated into the control algorithm.An advanced fictitious flux linkage method combined with a phase-locked loop(PLL)is employed for accurate rotor position estimation.Simulation results confirm that the proposed sensorless control strategy ensures stable operation and high position estimation accuracy over the entire speed range.

文摘Frequent droughts pose considerable threat to global forest carbon uptake,but little is known about the response of forest carbon fluxes in climatic transition zones to seasonal drought.In this study,the responses of carbon fluxes to seasonal drought in two natural forests(Quercus aliena var.acute serrata Maxim and Pinus tabuliformis Carr.)in the Baotianman Nature Reserve were investigated.The Q.aliena forest exhibited a high resilience with stable gross primary productivity(GPP).However,ecosystem respiration(Re)significantly declined by 18.4%compared with normal years,leading to an increase in net carbon sequestration capacity of 4.1%.This resilience was attributed to its deep root system accessing soil water(SWC_(50cm))to sustain stomatal openness,coupled with the efficient utilization of photosynthetically active radiation to drive photosynthesis.In contrast,the P.tabuliformis forest,which relied on shallow soil moisture(SWC_(20cm)),experienced simultaneous decreases in both GPP and Re during drought,with a sharply greater decrease in GPP,resulting in low net carbon sink capacity.Further analysis revealed that the Q.aliena forest prioritized carbon assimilation through a deep water-stomatal synergy strategy(anisohydric behavior),whereas the P.tabuliformis forest adopted an isohydric strategy favoring water conservation at the expense of carbon fixation efficiency.These findings highlight distinct mechanisms underlying drought adaptation between forest types,providing critical insight into optimizing forest carbon cycle models and selecting drought-resistant species under the influence of climate change.
文摘An atmospheric general circulation model(AGCM)is used to analyze the different impact on the Barents Sea(BS)and Greenland Sea(GS)for a perturbation of sea-to-air DMS flux.We compare contemporary anthropogenic S and contemporary DMS sea-to-air flux(as baseline,B00)sulfur emissions,with contemporary anthropogenic S and a perturbed DMS flux(as modified,B01)sulfur emissions.Results show that the global mean surface DMS and DMS vertically integrated concentration all peaked in June and increases more than 63%in BS and increases about 58%in GS.The concentrations of atmospheric sulfur dioxide vertical integral(SO_(2))and sulfate vertical integral(SO_(4))only increase less than 12%in both regions.Sulfur emission(SEM)peaked in June and increased about 67%and 41%in GS and BS,respectively.Aerosol optical depth(AOD)increases less than 4%in GS and in BS.Surface temperature(TSC)peaked in July and reduces 0.25 K and 0.8 K in GS and BS,respectively.Satellite data from 2003 to 2023show that chlorophyll(CHL)concentration in BS exceeds that of GS by 51%.The AOD in GS is only 0.6%higher than in BS.The recent increased rate of DMS surface concentration in BS(from 6%during 1981–2002 to 18.8%in 2003–2023)is mainly caused by elevated CHL concentrations in BS.Finally,the perturbation on DMS flux leads to increase rate of DMS and related sulfur emissions especially in the BS,this tendency will have an offsetting effect on regional warming.

文摘The effective density(ρ_(eff))is a key parameter of black carbon-containing(BCc)particles and is related to their morphologies,deposition processes,and optical properties.In this study,a tandem system was established and used to determine theρ_(eff)of ambient BCc particles.The results showed that theρ_(eff)distribution of ambient BCc particles exhibited a bimodal pattern with a left peak located at 0.69 g cm^(-3)and a right peak at 1.45 g cm^(-3).The averageρ_(eff)of BCc particles over the entire observation period was 1.38 g cm^(-3).Theρ_(eff)of BCc particles showed a clear diurnal pattern with a relatively stable distribution at night and large variations during the daytime.Theρ_(eff)value was demonstrated to be a good indicator of BCc particle morphology.BCc particles became more regular with increasingρ_(eff)related to the increasing coating thickness.More coating led to morphological restructuring of BCc particles.The restructuring could be more efficient under high relative humidity conditions.The observed data were further used in a dry deposition scheme,and it was found that the dry deposition velocity of fresh emitted BCc could be largely influenced by its irregular shape.This study reveals the presence of a significant amount of low-density/irregularly shaped black carbon in the environment with rapid morphological changes occurring during the daytime and highlights the need to consider morphological influences in future research on the physicochemical properties of BCc.

文摘Atomic spin gyroscopes are promising candidates for next-generation inertial navigation due to extremely high theoretical precision,relatively small size among atomic gyroscopes,and promising potential for miniaturization.In particular,the spin-exchange relaxation-free(SERF)atomic gyroscope relies on optical pumping to polarize atoms,enabling rotation sensing through the Faraday optical rotation angle(FORA).However,fluctuations in atomic density introduce systematic errors in FORA measurements,limiting long-term stability.We present a data-driven decoupling method that isolates atomic density fluctuations from the FORA signal by modeling spatially resolved light absorption in the vapor cell.The model accounts for the spatial distribution of spin polarization in the pump-light interaction volume,density-dependent relaxation rates,wall-induced relaxation,and polarization diffusion,and is implemented within a finite-element framework.Compared to the conventional Lambert-Beer law,which assumes one-dimensional homogeneity,our approach captures the full threedimensional density and polarization distribution,significantly improving the accuracy of light absorption modeling.The resulting absorption-density maps are used to train a feedforward neural network,yielding a high-precision estimator for atomic density fluctuations.This estimator enables the construction of a decoupling equation that separates the density contribution from the FORA signal.Experimental validation shows that this method improves the bias instability atσ(100 s)of the gyroscope was improved by 73.1%compared to traditional platinum-resistance-based stabilization.The proposed framework is general and can be extended to other optical pumping-based sensors,such as optically pumped magnetometers.

文摘Although traditional gamma-gamma density(GGD)logging technology is widely utilized,its potential environmental risks have prompted the development of more environmentally friendly neutron-gamma density(NGD)logging technology.However,NGD measurements are influenced by both neutron and gamma radiations.In the logging environment,variations in the formation composition indicate different elemental compositions,which affect the neutron-gamma reaction cross-sections and gamma generation.Compared to traditional gamma sources such as Cs-137,these changes significantly affect the generation and transport of neutron-induced inelastic gamma rays and hinder accurate measurements.To address this,a novel method is proposed that incorporates the mass attenuation coefficient function to account for the effects of various lithologies and pore contents on gamma-ray attenuation,thereby achieving more accurate density measurements by clarifying the transport processes of inelastic gamma rays with varying energies and spatial distributions in varied logging environments.The proposed method avoids the complex correction of neutron transport and is verified through Monte Carlo simulations for its applicability across various lithologies and pore contents,demonstrating absolute density errors that are less than 0.02 g/cm^(3)in clean formations and indicating good accuracy.This study clarifies the NGD mechanism and provides theoretical guidance for the application of NGD logging methods.Further studies will be conducted on extreme environmental conditions and tool calibration.

文摘The purpose is to explore the effects of Exercise rehabilitation(ER)on bone mineral density(BMD)of the knee,muscle strength(MS),and physical function(PF)after ACL rupture.Finally,A total of 58 patients were randomized into 2 groups(Control Group[CON]:conventional treatment,male=16,female=13,age=[31.63±8.01]years;Exercise rehabilitation group[ER]:6-week ER on CON basis,male=17,female=12,age=[31.26±7.07]years).At baseline and 6 weeks,the knee BMD was measured using DEXA,MS and PF measures were recorded by isokinetic strength test,IKDC,Lysholm,and VAS score.T-tests,analysis of variance(ANOVA),and Mann-Whitney tests were used for comparisons.The BMD outcomes:after a 6-week period,the BMD of the CON([1.47±0.24]g·cm^(-2))was significantly lower than that of the ER([1.65±0.37]g·cm^(-2))at lateral condyle of femur(LCF)(p=0.041).MS outcomes:at 6 weeks,the relative peak torque(RPT)of the quadriceps and hamstrings during concentric contractions in ER group were significantly higher than that in CON group(p<0.001,p=0.017).Similarly,during eccentric contractions in ER group,the RPT of the quadriceps and the H/Q ratio revealed significant variations from the CON group(p=0.033,p=0.043).PF outcomes:the IKDC,Lysholm,and VAS scores of the ER group were significantly improved compared to the CON group(p<0.001,p<0.001,p=0.002).The conclusion is that 6 weeks of ER intervention for patients with ACL rupture can effectively delay the decline of BMD in the LCF of the knee joint,and enhance the restoration of MS and PF.This provides guidance for clinical rehabilitation.

文摘[Objectives]To investigate the effects of different planting densities and nitrogen application rates on the yield and quality of the tobacco cultivar Chuxue 80.[Methods]A field experiment was conducted in Hubei Province,evaluating various combinations of planting density and nitrogen rate for Chuxue 80.[Results]At the maturity stage,the TN1 treatment(5 kg N per 667 m^(2) with a density of 1900 plants per 667 m^(2))demonstrated the most favorable agronomic performance.The TN9 treatment(11 kg N per 667 m^(2) with a density of 1110 plants per 667 m^(2))achieved the highest wrapper tobacco yield and output value.Meanwhile,the TN5 treatment(8 kg N per 667 m^(2) with a density of 1515 plants per 667 m^(2))resulted in the best smoking quality.[Conclusions]The TN9 treatment,with a planting density of 1110 plants per 667 m^(2) and a nitrogen application rate of 11 kg per 667 m^(2),is recommended as the optimal cultivation practice for Chuxue 80 in Hubei Province.

文摘Insight into the carbon turnover in soil aggregates and density fractions is essential for reducing the uncertainty in estimating carbon pools on the Tibetan Plateau,and how they vary with land use type is unclear.In this study,the effect of land use type on carbon storage and fractionation was quantified based on organic carbon and its ^(13)C abundance at the microscale of soil aggregates and density fractions in Tibetan alpine ecosystems.The sequence of soil aggregate destruction in the land use types of plantation(13.1%)<shrubland(32.7%)<grassland(47.9%)<farmland(61.8%)shows that plantations strengthen the soil structure.Plantation land had a greater contribution of light fraction organic carbon(28.3%)but a lower contribution of mineral-associated organic carbon(40.6%)to the carbon stock compared to farmland(13.5 and 70.3%).Interestingly,plantation land enhanced the aggregational differentiation of organic carbon and ^(13)C in each density fraction,whereas no such phenomenon existed in the soil organic carbon.Carbon isotope analyses revealed that carbon transfer in the plantation land occurred from the light fraction in macroaggregates(–24.9‰)to the mineral-associated fraction in microaggregates(–19.9‰).When compared to the other three land use types,the low transferability of carbon in aggregates and density fractions in plantation land provides a stable carbon pool for the Tibetan Plateau.This study shows that plantations can mitigate global climate change by slowing carbon transfer and increasing carbon storage at the microscale of aggregates and density fractions in alpine regions.

文摘The stress-strain behavior of calcareous sand is significantly influencedby particle breakage(B)and initial relative density(Dri),but few constitutive models consider their combined effects.To bridge this gap,we conducted a series of triaxial tests on calcareous sand with varying Dri and stress paths,examining particle breakage and critical state behavior.Key findingsinclude:(1)At a constant stress ratio(η),B follows a hyperbolic relationship with mean effective stress(p'),and for a given p',B increases proportionally withη;(2)The critical state line(CSL)moves downward with increasing Dri,whereas the critical state friction angle(φcs)decreases with increasing B.Based on these findings,we propose a unifiedbreakage evolution model to quantify particle breakage in calcareous sand under various loading conditions.Integrating this model with the Normal Consolidation Line(NCL)and CSL equations,we successfully simulate the steepening of NCL and CSL slopes as B increases with the onset of particle breakage.Furthermore,we quantitatively evaluate the effect of B onφcs.Finally,within the framework of Critical State Soil Mechanics and Hypoplasticity theory,we develop a hypoplastic model incorporating B and Dri.The model is validated through strong agreement with experimental results across various initial relative densities,stress paths and drainage conditions.

文摘In this study,we analyze the impact of the May 2024 geomagnetic storm on the thermospheric mass density by using TianMu-1 constellation satellite(TM02,TM06,TM07,TM11,TM15)observations.These observations reveal intense large-scale traveling atmospheric disturbances(TADs)originating at high latitudes and propagating equatorward.Observations by TM02 captured the evolution of a TAD structure:An initial amplitude of~3.89×10^(-12)kg/m^(3)at hundred-kilometer scale subsequently intensified to 4.78×10^(-12)kg/m^(3),with the spatial extent expanding to the thousand-kilometer level.Significant hemispheric asymmetry was observed:the absolute density was higher predominantly in the northern hemisphere(TM02,TM06,TM07,TM11),whereas the difference in the relative density consistently showed greater enhancements in the southern hemisphere across all satellites,with the maximum north-south density differences exceeding 195%-640%above 60°latitude.In conjunction with SuperDARN(Super Dual Auroral Radar Network)observations,this striking hemispheric asymmetry can likely be attributed to disparities in plasma convection patterns between the two hemispheres.Furthermore,density perturbation characteristics exhibited strong local time(LT)dependence:Near noon(~10.7 LT,TM02 descending),the northern hemisphere onset preceded the southern onset.Conversely,near dusk(~17.6 LT,TM15 descending),the southern onset led the northern onset by approximately 3 hours.Ascending orbits(TM02,TM06,TM07,TM15)typically yielded larger global density enhancements compared with smaller southern-confined enhancements during descending orbits.Satellite TM11 showed comparable perturbations in both ascending and descending orbits.By leveraging its unique orbital architecture,the TianMu-1 constellation enables global near-simultaneous multi-LT sampling,providing a robust data foundation for both scientific research and engineering applications.

文摘Lacustrine groundwater discharge(LGD)plays an important role in water resources management.Previous studies have focused on LGD process in a single lake,but the differences in LGD process within the same region have not been thoroughly investigated.In this study,multiple tracers(hydrochemistry,𝛿D,𝛿18O and 222Rn)were used to compare mechanisms of LGD in Daihai and Ulansuhai Lake in Inner Mongoli1,Northwest China.The hydrochemical types showed a trend from groundwater to lake water,indicating a hydraulic connection between them.In addition,the𝛿D and𝛿18O values of sediment pore water were between the groundwater and lake water,indicating the LGD processes.The radon mass balance model was used to estimate the average groundwater discharge rates of Daihai and Ulansuhai Lake,which were 2.79 mm/day and 3.02 mm/day,respectively.The total nitrogen(TN),total phosphorus(TP),and fluoride inputs associated with LGD in Daihai Lake accounted for 97.52%,96.59%,and 95.84%of the total inputs,respectively.In contrast,TN,TP and fluoride inputs in Ulansuhai Lake were 53.56%,40.98%,and 36.25%,respectively.This indicates that the pollutant inputs associated with LGD posed a potential threat to the ecological stability of Daihai and Ulansuhai Lake.By comparison,the differences of LGD process and associated pollutant flux were controlled by hydrogeological conditions,lakebed permeability and human activities.This study provides a reference for water resources management in Daihai and Ulansuhai Lake basins while improving the understanding of LGD in the Yellow River basin.

文摘Soil respiration is the key process driving CO_(2) exchange between forest soils and the atmosphere and regulated by soil organic carbon(SOC)characteristics and extracellular enzyme activities.However,the direction and magnitude of the effects of stand density on labile SOC fractions,extracellular enzymes,and soil respiration across plantation ages remain unclear.We constructed enhanced soil respiration models using heterogeneous soil data under density regulation to better characterize soil processes.Study plots encompassing stand-density gradients were implemented in Larix principis-rupprechtii plantations spanning three age-class strata.During the growing season,systematic measurements were conducted on soil respiration rates,labile organic carbon fractions,and extracellular enzyme activities.A process-driven soil respiration model was developed by integrating nonlinear mixed-effects modeling frameworks with measured data.The moderate density stands showed increases in soil respiration(Rs),microbial biomass carbon(MBC),light fraction organic carbon(LFOC),β-1,4-glucosidase(BGC),andβ-N-acetyl glycosaminidase+leucine aminopeptidase(NAG+LAP).In 36a and 48a stands,the moderate-density stands NAG+LAP had a~35%increase compared to other density levels,while readily oxidized carbon(ROC)concentrations showed a significant~30%-50%reduction.All labile organic carbon components were stable with age,so that soil microorganisms were promoted to acquire C,N,and P.Temperature,moisture,MBC,BGC,and NAG+LAP were essential factors that affected soil respiration.Stand density has important impacts on soil respiration as it regulates the soil organic carbon and activities of extracellular enzymes.The roles of temperature,microbial biomass carbon,soil organic carbon and dissolved organic carbon are complex and directly affect autotrophic and heterotrophic respiration and regulate soil respiration by influencing microbial C and N acquisition.A mixed-effects model with nested stand density and age mathematically optimized the soil respiration model,enabling enhanced characterization of covariation patterns of soil respiration with related soil carbon pool variables.

文摘This study investigated the suppressive effects of Armoracia rusticana(AR)and its three main glucosinolates on both free and bound heterocyclic amines(HAs),along with their mechanisms of free radical quenching using density functional theory.Fish patties were supplemented with varying concentrations of AR(0.5%‒1.5%)and glucosinolates(0.005%‒0.015%),showing a dose-dependent inhibition of HAs and concurrent elimination of free radicals and HAs intermediates.Glucobrassicin demonstrated the highest reactivity,which was verified by frontier orbit analysis and conceptual density functional parameters,consistent with experimental findings.Furthermore,the O-H bond connected to the sulfur atom of glucobrassicin possessed the smallest bond dissociation enthalpy(BDE)value,which indicated that this particular hydrogen atom is most susceptible to react with free radicals.Overall,AR and its glucosinolates,especially glucobrassicin,show promise as natural additives for improving food safety and quality.

文摘Allometric equations are fundamental tools in ecological research and forestry management,widely used for estimating above-ground biomass and production,serving as the core foundations of dynamic vegetation models.Using global datasets from Tallo(a tree allometry and crown architecture database encompassing thousands of species)and TRY(a plant traits database),we fit B ayesian hierarchical models with three alternative functional forms(powerlaw,generalized Michaelis-Menten(gMM),and Weibull)to characterize how diameter at breast height(DBH),tree height(H),and crown radius(CR)scale with and without wood density as a species-level predictor.Our analysis revealed that the saturating Weibull function best captured the relationship between tree height and DBH in both functional groups,whereas the CR-DBH relationship was best predicted by a power-law function in angiosperms and by the gMM function in gymnosperms.Although including wood density did not significantly improve predictive performance,it revealed important ecological trade-offs:lighter-wood angiosperms achieve taller mature heights more rapidly,and denser wood promotes wider crown expansion across clades.We also found that accurately estimating DBH required considering both height and crown size,highlighting how these variables together distinguish trees of similar height but differing trunk diameters.Our results emphasize the importance of applying saturating functions for large trees to improve forest biomass estimates and show that wood density,though not always predictive at broad scales,helps illuminate the biomechanical and ecological constraints underlying diverse tree architectures.These findings offer practical pathways for integrating height-and crown-based metrics into existing carbon monitoring programs worldwide.

文摘Coordinating light and nitrogen(N)distribution within a canopy is essential for improving rice yield and resource use efficiency.However,limited research has examined light and N distribution in response to planting density and N rate,and their relationships with grain yield,radiation use efficiency(RUE),and N use efficiency for grain production(NUEg)in rice.A two-year field experiment was conducted with two hybrid varieties under three N levels,0 kg ha^(-1)(N1),90 kg ha^(-1)(N2)and 180 kg ha^(-1)(N3),and two planting densities,22.2 hills m-2(D1)and 33.3 hills m^(-2)(D2).Results showed 3.4%higher yield and 4.4%higher NUEg under N2D2 compared with N3D1.The extinction coefficient for N(K_(N))and light(K_(L))and their ratio(K_(N)/K_(L))at heading stage were significantly influenced by N rate,planting density,and their interaction.K_(N)decreased with the increase of N input or planting density.Compared to N1,K_(N)decreased by 43.5 and 58.8%under N2 and N3,respectively,while K_(N)under D2 decreased by 16.0%compared to D1.Higher K_(L)and K_(N)/K_(L)values occurred under low N rates,with opposite trends under high N rates.Increased planting density led to decreased K_(L)and K_(N)/K_(L)values.N2D2 demonstrated higher K_(L)and K_(N),and thus comparable K_(N)/K_(L),compared to N3D1.Correlation analysis revealed K_(L)negatively correlated with RUE,while K_(N)and K_(N)/K_(L)positively correlated with NUEg.These findings indicate that increasing planting density under reduced N input could maintain rice yield while enhancing resource use efficiency through regulation of canopy light and N distribution.

文摘As a novel class of purely organic fluores-cent materials,multiple resonance thermal-ly activated delayed fluorescence(MR-TADF)compounds hold significant promise for next-generation display technologies.The efficiency of exciton utilization and the overall performance of organic light-emit-ting devices are closely linked to the singlet-triplet energy gap(ΔE_(ST))of MR-TADF emitters.Identifying an economic and accu-rate theoretical approach to predictΔE_(ST)would be beneficial for high-throughput screening and facilitate the inverse design of MR-TADF molecules.In this study,we evaluated the S_(1)state energy(E(S_(1))),T_(1)state ener-gy(E(T_(1))),andΔE_(ST)using three different physical interpretations:adiabatic excitation ener-gy,vertical absorption energy,and vertical emission energy.We employed the time-depen-dent density functional theory(TDDFT)and delta self-consistent field(ΔSCF)methods to calculate E(S_(1)),E(T_(1)),andΔE_(ST)for 20 MR-TADF molecules reported in the literature.We compared these calculated values with experimental data obtained from fluorescence spec-troscopy at room-temperature(or 77 K)and phosphorescence spectroscopy conducted at 77 K.Our findings indicate that the vertical absorption energy at the S0 state minimum,deter-mined by theΔSCF method,accurately predicts the S_(1)state energy.Similarly,the vertical absorption energy at the S0 state minimum,calculated using the TDDFT method,effectively predicts the T_(1)state energy.TheΔE_(ST)derived from the difference between these two excita-tion energies exhibited the smallest mean absolute error of only 0.039 eV compared to the ex-perimental values.This combination represents the most accurate and cost-effective method reported to date for predicting theΔE_(ST)of MR-TADF molecules,and can be integrated into AI-driven inverse design workflows for new emitters.

文摘Understanding the complex plasma dynamics in ultra-intense relativistic laser-solid interactions is of fundamental importance for applications of laser-plasma-based particle accelerators,the creation of high-energy-density matter,understanding planetary science,and laser-driven fusion energy.However,experimental efforts in this regime have been limited by the lack of accessibility of over-critical densities and the poor spatiotemporal resolution of conventional diagnostics.Over the last decade,the advent of femtosecond brilliant hard X-ray free-electron lasers(XFELs)has opened new horizons to overcome these limitations.Here,for the first time,we present full-scale spatiotemporal measurements of solid-density plasma dynamics,including preplasma generation with tens of nanometer scale length driven by the leading edge of a relativistic laser pulse,ultrafast heating and ionization at the main pulse arrival,the laser-driven blast wave,and transient surface return current-induced compression dynamics up to hundreds of picoseconds after interaction.These observations are enabled by utilizing a novel combination of advanced X-ray diagnostics including small-angle X-ray scattering,resonant X-ray emission spectroscopy,and propagation-based X-ray phase-contrast imaging simultaneously at the European XFEL-HED beamline station.
