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

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

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

The ideal SPEs emit a single photon or a photon-pair on demand, with high purity and distinguishability. SPEs can also be integrated in photonic circuits for scalable quantum communication and quantum computer systems. Quantum dots made from Ⅲ-Ⅴ compounds such as InGaAs or GaN have been found to be particularly attractive SPE sources due to their well studied optical performance and state of the art industrial flexibility in fabrication and integration. Here, we review the optical and optoelectronic properties and growth methods of general SPEs. Subsequently, a brief summary of the latest advantages in Ⅲ-Ⅴ compound SPEs and the research progress achieved in the past few years will be discussed. We finally describe frontier challenges and conclude with the latest SPE fabrication science and technology that can open new possibilities for quantum information applications.展开更多

To date, however, there has still been no explicit guideline or method. By applying emissions allowance allocated by 16 schemes as benchmarks, this paper tries to compare and evaluate the NDCs of the top six emitters, which jointly account for about 70% of the world's CO_2 emissions. Results show that the four developed countries' NDCs lack ambition with respect to most allocations under 2℃ and all under 1.5℃, indicating they need to substantially ratchet up their NDCs and lead elevating mitigation. Evaluating cumulative emissions is more likely to clarify the ambition and fairness of China's NDC. If considering cumulative emissions, China's NDC is aligned with the median of cumulative allowances under 2℃ and within the 1.5℃ range. The Paris Agreement invited the Parties to communicate the mid-century low emissions strategies. This paper also tries to explore the mid-century mitigation in the perspective of allocations, which might provide decision-makers with some useful information when envisaging the post-NDC mitigation.展开更多

文摘The paper investigates the escape probability for isotropic emitters near a Kerr black hole.We propose a new approach to obtain the escape probability in a general manner,going beyond previous case-by-case studies.This approach is based on studies of the black hole shadow with astrometric observable and can be applied to emitters with an arbitrary 4-velocities and locations,even to the emitters outside of the equatorial plane.We also consider representative examples illustrating how escape probabilities vary with distance,velocity,and inclination angle.Overall,this new approach provides an effective method for studying escape probabilities near Kerr black holes.

文摘Ionic Liquid Electrospray Thrusters(ILETs)are well suited for micro-nano satellite applications due to their small size,low power consumption,and high specific impulse.However,the limited thrust of a single-emitter ILET restricts its use in space missions.To optimize the performance of ILETs and make them suitable for a wider range of space missions,we designed a Circular-emitter ILET(CILET)to convert a one-dimensional(point)emission into a twodimensional(line)emission.The CILET can self-organize multiple Taylor cones simultaneously.The cones were photographed and the axial emission currents were measured under different voltage and pressure difference conditions with a CILET experimental system.The emission can be divided into two stable states and one unstable state based on the flow and current characteristics.The current in Stable state Ⅰ increases non-linearly with the voltage,while that in Stable state Ⅱ is nearly linear with respect to the voltage.The number of cones increases with the voltage in stable states,while the cones become short and crowded under high-voltage conditions.The variation law of the number of cones can be explained with the self-organization theory.The variation in the current exhibits a good correlation with the number of cones.This study demonstrates the feasibility of circular emitters and experimentally indicates that the emission current is improved by approximately two orders of magnitude compared to that of a single capillary.

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As a highly energy-efficient and sensitive radiation source,narrowband thermal emitters provide an ideal solution for non-contact gas detection,enabling the widespread application of mid-infrared“molecular fingerprint”technology.However,most narrowband thermal emitters lack reconfigurability,limiting their adaptability in practical applications.In this study,we propose a novel dual-band switchable narrowband thermal emitter in the mid-infrared region.The emitter consists of an aperiodic Ge/SiO_(2)/Ge/SiO_(2)(GSGS)structure and a phase change material In_(3)SbTe_(2)(IST).When IST is in the crystalline state,the emitter achieves narrowband emission peaks at wavelengths of 3.79μm and 6.12μm,corresponding to the“on”state.However,when IST transitions to the amorphous state,the dual-band high emission disappears and it features angle-and polarization-independent behavior,representing the“off”state.Furthermore,we verify the physical mechanism behind the high emission through phase and amplitude calculations as well as electric field distribution analysis.Notably,the introduction of the IST provides an additional degree of freedom for tunability.Furthermore,by adjusting the thickness of the spacer layer,the emitter can be precisely tuned to match the characteristic absorption peaks of various mid-infrared gases,such as CH_(4),CO_(2),CO,and NO,enabling multi-gas detection in mixed gas environments.The proposed thermal emitter serves as an effective and low-cost alternative for dual-band narrowband mid-infrared light sources,contributing to the advancement of multi-gas detection strategies.

文摘Six-year old apple trees were selected for field experiment.The objective of this study was to obtain the reasonable arrangement of surge-root irrigation emitters in apple orchards.There were three factors:the buried depth H(25,40,55 cm),the horizontal distance L(30,40,60 cm)between the emitters and the trunk of the experimental tree,and the number of the irrigation emitters N(1,2,4).The effect of the arrangement of surge-root irrigation emitters on the growth,yield and irrigation water use efficiency(IWUE)of apple trees were studied in Northern Shaanxi where the irrigation quota takes 60%-75%of the field water capacity.The results showed that the arrangement of emitters for surge-root irrigation had a significant effect on apple tree yield and IWUE,especially,the yield and IWUE reached 28388.17 kg/hm2 and 16.83 kg/m3 in treatment T3,respectively.At the same L and N levels(T1,T2,and T3),the yield and IWUE in treatment T3 were the highest,and the yields in treatments T1 and T2 were decreased by 26.22%and 31.48%,while IWUE is reduced by14.02%and 18.12%compared with T3,respectively.At the same H and N levels(T3,T4,and T5),the yield and IWUE of apple trees were decreased with increasing L level.Especially,when L was 30 cm(T3),the yield and IWUE were the highest.The same L and H levels(T3,T6,and T7)could promote the growth of apple trees when N was 2(T3).Compared with treatment T3,it was found that the increment of new shoots was decreased by 8.07%-18.71%,and the fruit diameter was decreased by 5.41%-9.11%.Therefore,two emitters should be arranged symmetrically on both sides of an apple tree,each was buried at a 40 cm depth and 30 cm away from the trunk of the tree to effectively improve the yield and IWUE of the apple tree in mountainous areas in Northern Shaanxi.

文摘Using reclaimed wastewater for crop irrigation is a practical alternative to discharge wastewater treatment plant effluents into surface waters.However,biofouling has been identified as a major contributor to emitter clogging in drip irrigation systems distributing reclaimed wastewater.Little is known about the biofilm structure and its influence on clogging in the drip emitter flow path.This study was first to investigate the microbial characteristics of mature biofilms present in the emitters and the effect of flow path structures on the biofilm microbial communities.The analysis of biofilm matrix structure using a scanning electron microscopy（SEM） revealed that particles in the matrix of the biofilm coupled extracellular polysaccharides（EPS） and formed sediment in the emitter flow path.Analysis of biofilm mass including protein,polysaccharide,and phospholipid fatty acids（PLFAs） showed that emitter flow path style influenced biofilm community structure and diversity.The correlations of biofilm biomass and discharge reduction after 360 h irrigation were computed and suggest that PFLAs provide the best correlation coeffcient.Comparatively,the emitter with the unsymmetrical dentate structure and shorter flow path（Emitter C） had the best anti-clogging capability.By optimizing the dentate structure,the internal flow pattern within the flow path could be enhanced as an important method to control the biofilm within emitter flow path.This study established electron microscope techniques and biochemical microbial analysis methods that may provide a framework for future emitter biofilm studies.

文摘Nowadays,the development of trip let-involved materials becomes a hot research topic in solid-state luminescence fields.However,the mechanism of trip let-involved emission still remains some mysteries to conquer.Here,we proposed a new concept of excited-state confo rmation capture for the const ructio ns of different types of trip let-involved materials.Firstly,excited-state conformation could be trapped by supramolecular chains in crystal and fo rm a new optimum excited-state structure which is different from that in solution or simple rigid environment,leading to bright thermally activated delayed fluorescence(TADF) emission.Based on excited-state conformation capture methodology,next,we obtained roomtemperature phosphorescence(RTP) by introducing Br atoms for the enhancement of intersystem crossing.It could be concluded from experime ntal results that TADF may originate from aggregate effect while RTP may derive from monomers.Finally,heavy-atom free RTP and ultra RTP were achieved by eliminating aggregate effect.This wo rk could not only exte nd the design methodology of triplet-involved materials but also set clear evidences for the mechanism of triplet-involved emissions.
文摘Single-photon emitters (SPEs) are one of the key components in quantum information applications. The ideal SPEs emit a single photon or a photon-pair on demand, with high purity and distinguishability. SPEs can also be integrated in photonic circuits for scalable quantum communication and quantum computer systems. Quantum dots made from Ⅲ-Ⅴ compounds such as InGaAs or GaN have been found to be particularly attractive SPE sources due to their well studied optical performance and state of the art industrial flexibility in fabrication and integration. Here, we review the optical and optoelectronic properties and growth methods of general SPEs. Subsequently, a brief summary of the latest advantages in Ⅲ-Ⅴ compound SPEs and the research progress achieved in the past few years will be discussed. We finally describe frontier challenges and conclude with the latest SPE fabrication science and technology that can open new possibilities for quantum information applications.

文摘Comparing and evaluating the Nationally Determined Contribution(NDC) is an important element in global stocktake in the post-Paris climate negotiations, aimed at closing the emissions gap with the Paris Agreement goals. To date, however, there has still been no explicit guideline or method. By applying emissions allowance allocated by 16 schemes as benchmarks, this paper tries to compare and evaluate the NDCs of the top six emitters, which jointly account for about 70% of the world's CO_2 emissions. Results show that the four developed countries' NDCs lack ambition with respect to most allocations under 2℃ and all under 1.5℃, indicating they need to substantially ratchet up their NDCs and lead elevating mitigation. Evaluating cumulative emissions is more likely to clarify the ambition and fairness of China's NDC. If considering cumulative emissions, China's NDC is aligned with the median of cumulative allowances under 2℃ and within the 1.5℃ range. The Paris Agreement invited the Parties to communicate the mid-century low emissions strategies. This paper also tries to explore the mid-century mitigation in the perspective of allocations, which might provide decision-makers with some useful information when envisaging the post-NDC mitigation.
