Nevertheless, the lack of mechanistic explanation restricts the use of fingerprint features to a data-driven technique and fur-ther reduces the adaptability of the technique to other datasets. To address this issue, the mechanism how the phase noise of high-frequency oscillators and the nonlinearity of power ampli-fiers affect the kurtosis of communication signals is investigated. Mathematical models are derived for intentional modulation (IM) and unintentional modulation (UIM). Analysis indicates that the phase noise of high-frequency oscillators and the nonlinearity of power amplifiers affect the kurtosis frequency and amplitude, respectively. A novel SEI method based on frequency and ampli-tude of the signal kurtosis (FA-SK) is further proposed. Simula-tion and real-world experiments validate theoretical analysis and also confirm the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

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

The application, developed on the Lab VIEW platform, allows us to control the camera's main attribute settings, such as the shutter speed and the gain, record the images in the region of interest, and process and filter the images in real time. To analyze the data from the obtained image, we have developed an algorithm called measurement and analysis of ion beam luminosity(MAIBL) to reconstruct the four-dimensional(4D) beam profile and calculate the root mean square(RMS) emittance. Before measuring emittance, we performed a simulated experiment using the pepper-pot simulation(PPS) program. An exported file(PPS) gives a numerically generated raw image(mock image) of a beam with a predefined emittance value after it has passed through a pepper-pot mask. By analyzing data from mock images instead of the image obtained by the camera and putting it into the MAIBL algorithm, we can compare the calculated emittance with PPS's initial emittance value. In this paper, we present our computational tools and explain the method for verifying the correctness of the calculated emittance values.展开更多

文摘Precise transverse emittance assessment in electron beams is crucial for advancing high-brightness beam injectors.As opposed to intricate methodologies that use specialized devices,quadrupole focusing strength scanning(Q-scanning)techniques offer notable advantages for various injectors owing to their inherent convenience and cost-effectiveness.However,their stringent approximation conditions lead to inevitable errors in practical operation,thereby limiting their widespread application.This study addressed these challenges by revisiting the analytical derivation procedure and investigating the effects of the underlying approximation conditions.Preliminary corrections were explored through a combination of data processing analysis and numerical simulations.Furthermore,based on theoretical derivations,virtual measurements using beam dynamics calculations were employed to evaluate the correction reliability.Subsequent experimental validations were performed at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology injector to verify the effectiveness of the proposed compensation method.Both the virtual and experimental results confirm the feasibility and reliability of the enhanced Q-scanning-based diagnosis for transverse emittance in typical beam injectors operating under common conditions.Through the integration of these corrections and compensations,enhanced Q-scanning-based techniques emerge as promising alternatives to traditional emittance diagnosis methods.

文摘Sediment particles,as one of the key components of drip irrigation technology,significantly affect the service life of emitters and restrict the popularization of drip irrigation technology.Hence,two types of patch drip irrigation emitters,focusing on the anti-clogging performance through the experiment,were investigated.The dynamic variations in the clogging characteristics of emitters,specifically were subjected to statistical analysis.The movement mechanism of emitter clogging and discharging sediment was studied.The effects of emitter structure and position factors on emitter clogging were analyzed.The results show that the pressure-compensated emitter exhibits superior anti-clogging perfor-mance,with a service life that is 227.8%greater than that of the labyrinth channel emitter.A single structural factor cannot completely evaluate the anti-clogging performance of emitters.All factors causing emitter clogging should be considered comprehensively.Emitters contain sensitive sediment prone to clogging,however,significant blockage occurs primarily when the sediment content is elevated.The discharge of sediment,denoted as V90,from the emitter is affected by the accumulative effect of clogged sediment.These results may offer valuable insights for the application and advancement of drip irrigation technology.

文摘Extensive experiments suggest that kurtosis-based fingerprint features are effective for specific emitter identification (SEI). Nevertheless, the lack of mechanistic explanation restricts the use of fingerprint features to a data-driven technique and fur-ther reduces the adaptability of the technique to other datasets. To address this issue, the mechanism how the phase noise of high-frequency oscillators and the nonlinearity of power ampli-fiers affect the kurtosis of communication signals is investigated. Mathematical models are derived for intentional modulation (IM) and unintentional modulation (UIM). Analysis indicates that the phase noise of high-frequency oscillators and the nonlinearity of power amplifiers affect the kurtosis frequency and amplitude, respectively. A novel SEI method based on frequency and ampli-tude of the signal kurtosis (FA-SK) is further proposed. Simula-tion and real-world experiments validate theoretical analysis and also confirm the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed method.

文摘Automatically recognizing radar emitters from com-plex electromagnetic environments is important but non-trivial.Moreover,the changing electromagnetic environment results in inconsistent signal distribution in the real world,which makes the existing approaches perform poorly for recognition tasks in different scenes.In this paper,we propose a domain generaliza-tion framework is proposed to improve the adaptability of radar emitter signal recognition in changing environments.Specifically,we propose an end-to-end denoising based domain-invariant radar emitter recognition network(DDIRNet)consisting of a denoising model and a domain invariant representation learning model(IRLM),which mutually benefit from each other.For the signal denoising model,a loss function is proposed to match the feature of the radar signals and guarantee the effectiveness of the model.For the domain invariant representation learning model,contrastive learning is introduced to learn the cross-domain feature by aligning the source and unseen domain distri-bution.Moreover,we design a data augmentation method that improves the diversity of signal data for training.Extensive experiments on classification have shown that DDIRNet achieves up to 6.4%improvement compared with the state-of-the-art radar emitter recognition methods.The proposed method pro-vides a promising direction to solve the radar emitter signal recognition problem.

文摘Organisms on Earth evolve and coexist with natural Electromagnetic Fields(EMFs).Although many reports have suggested the potential anti-neoplastic effects of EMFs with specific parameters,the studies on the influence of natural EMFs on cancers are still rare.Herein,an EMF emitter has been developed to investigate the effects of the extremely-low frequency SR-mimicking EMF(SREMF)on cancer and normal cell proliferation.The numerical simulation has revealed that the emitter with specific parameters is able to enhance EMF intensity and uniformity on the designated plane above the emitter.More importantly,honeycomb-like emitter array can generate a stronger EMF intensity on the 20 mm plane above the array.Cell colony formation assays have demonstrated that SREMF generated by the honeycomb-like emitter array can significantly inhibit Hela cell proliferation in a cell-density-dependent manner.The morphological changes of SREMF-exposed Hela cells suggest that the anti-proliferative effect of SREMF may be caused by apoptosis induction.In contrast,no detrimental effect is observed for SREMF-treated normal cells,which probably can be explained by the evolutionary adaptation.Hence,this work can not only contribute to understanding the impact of natural EMF on creatures,but also afford a novel strategy to personalized cancer prevention and treatment.

文摘Phosphorus-based luminescent materials consist of certain phosphorus in the aromatic backbones,endowing a larger nuclear charge(Z,15P),rich valence states for the phosphorus core,and various electron geometries.These features enable promising exploitation for luminescent materials with significant quantum efficiencies and tunable singlet and triplet populations.This mini review focuses on the break-throughs of organic and organometallic phosphorus compounds in advanced circularly polarized fluorescence(CPF)and circularly polarized room-temperature phosphorescence(CP-RTP)by unveiling the structure-function relationships,e.g.,design concept,charge transfer(CT)type,chiral conformation,and excited state transition configuration,and the recent applications in optical information encryption,lighting-displaying,and organic light emitting diodes(OLEDs).By dedicated analysis of current progresses,we hope this work will throw insights into phosphorus-based CPF and CP-RTP behaviors and provide a reference for the rational design of high-performance phosphorus-based emitters.

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In the field of specific emitter identification(SEI),power amplifiers(PAs)have long been recognized as significant contributors to unintentional modulation characteristics.To enhance signal quality,digital pre-distortion(DPD)techniques are commonly employed in practical applications to mitigate the nonlinear effects of PAs.However,DPD techniques may diminish the distinctive characteristics of individual transmitters,potentially compromising SEI performance.This study investigates the influence of SEI in the presence of DPD applied to PAs.We construct a semi-physical emitter platform using AD9361 and ZYNQ,incorporating memory and non-memory models to emulate an amplification system comprising DPD devices and PAs.Furthermore,we delve into the analysis and evaluation of LMS-based and QRDRLS-based DPD algorithms to ascertain their efficacy in compensating for amplifier nonlinearity.Finally,we conduct a comprehensive set of experiments to demonstrate the adverse impact of DPD techniques on SEI.Our findings demonstrate a direct correlation between the degree of DPD performance and its impact magnitude on SEI,thereby providing a foundational basis for future studies investigating SEI techniques under DPD.

文摘Currently,iodine-compatible cathodes for iodine propulsion systems that can provide ampere-level electron currents with a reasonable power consumption are lacking.In this study,a conventional LaB_(6)hollow cathode made with iodine-resistant materials was designed and tested in an iodine-compatible vacuum facility.The ignition characteristics,the V-I(Volt-Ampere characteristic)curve,and long steady-state discharge sequence of the iodine hollow cathode were analyzed and compared with those using a krypton propellant.After the experiment,the composition of the cathode emitter was studied by scanning electron microscope and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS).The results show that ignition takes>10 s to reach a steady state,and the discharge voltage of the iodine was 25-95 V higher than that of krypton.According to the EDS results,this was mainly caused by emitter contamination with iron from the stainless-steel components of the cathode and oxygen from the iodine feed system.The iodine hollow cathode achieved a cumulative 12.5 h stable discharge,with the longest single discharge of 5 h and a 3%change in the inner diameter of the emitter.

文摘Ultrasonic neuromodulation has gained recognition as a promising therapeutic approach.A miniature transducer capable of generating suitable-strength and broadband ultrasound is of great significance for achieving high spatial precision ultrasonic neural stimulation.However,the ultrasound transducer with the above integrated is yet to be challenged.Here,we developed a fiber-optic photoacoustic emitter(FPE)with a diameter of 200μm,featuring controllable sound intensity and a broadband response(−6 dB bandwidth:162%).The device integrates MXene(Ti_(3)C_(2)Tx),known for its exceptional photothermal properties,and polydimethylsiloxane,which offers a high thermal expansion coefficient.This FPE,exhibiting high spatial precision(lateral:163.3μm,axial:207μm),is capable of selectively activating neurons in targeted regions.Using the TetTagging method to selectively express a cfos-promoter-inducible mCHERRY gene within the medial prefrontal cortex(mPFC),we found that photoacoustic stimulation significantly and temporarily activated the neurons.In vivo fiber photometry demonstrated that photoacoustic stimulation induced substantial calcium transients in mPFC neurons.Furthermore,we confirmed that photoacoustic stimulation of the mPFC using FPE markedly alleviates acute social defeat stress-induced emotional stress in mice.This work demonstrates the potential of FPEs for clinical applications,with a particular focus on modulating neural activity to regulate emotions.

文摘Without knowing the emittance value, it is difficult to optimize ion beam optics for minimum beam loss during transmission, especially considering the very high emittance values of electron cyclotron resonance(ECR) ion sources.With this in mind, to measure the emittance of the ion beams produced by the mVINIS ECR, which is part of the FAMA facility at the Vin?a Institute of Nuclear Sciences, we have developed a pepper-pot scintillator screen system combined with a CMOS camera. The application, developed on the Lab VIEW platform, allows us to control the camera's main attribute settings, such as the shutter speed and the gain, record the images in the region of interest, and process and filter the images in real time. To analyze the data from the obtained image, we have developed an algorithm called measurement and analysis of ion beam luminosity(MAIBL) to reconstruct the four-dimensional(4D) beam profile and calculate the root mean square(RMS) emittance. Before measuring emittance, we performed a simulated experiment using the pepper-pot simulation(PPS) program. An exported file(PPS) gives a numerically generated raw image(mock image) of a beam with a predefined emittance value after it has passed through a pepper-pot mask. By analyzing data from mock images instead of the image obtained by the camera and putting it into the MAIBL algorithm, we can compare the calculated emittance with PPS's initial emittance value. In this paper, we present our computational tools and explain the method for verifying the correctness of the calculated emittance values.

文摘Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides(2D TMDCs)have received considerable attention in local strain engineering due to their extraordinary mechanical flexibility,electonic structure,and optical properties.The strain-induced out-of-plane deformations in 2D TMDCs lead to diverse excitonic behaviors and versatile modulations in optical properties,paving the way for the development of advanced quantum technologies,flexible optoelectronic materials,and straintronic devices.Research on local strain engineering on 2D TMDCs has been delved into fabrication techniques,electronic state variations,and quantum optical applications.This review begins by summarizing the state-of-the-art methods for introducing local strain into 2D TMDCs,followed by an exploration of the impact of local strain engineering on optical properties.The intriguing phenomena resulting from local strain,such as exciton funnelling and anti-funnelling,are also discussed.We then shift the focus to the application of locally strained 2D TMDCs as quantum emitters,with various strategies outlined for modulating the properties of TMDC-based quantum emitters.Finally,we discuss the remaining questions in this field and provide an outlook on the future of local strain engineering on 2D TMDCs.
