When transducers with finite bandwidth are used, this assumption may result in reduction of the imaging contrast and distortions of reconstructed images. In this paper, we propose a novel method to compensate the finite bandwidth effect in PAI by using an optimal filter in the Fourier domain. Simulation results demonstrate that the use of this method can improve the contrast of the reconstructed images with finite-bandwidth ultrasound transducers.展开更多
Variation of plastic viscosity and extrapolated shear yield stress with the concentration of Dispex A40 for the concentrated Alcoa A16 alpha -Al2O3 suspensions at 0.27 powder volume fraction was investigated at 294 K....Variation of plastic viscosity and extrapolated shear yield stress with the concentration of Dispex A40 for the concentrated Alcoa A16 alpha -Al2O3 suspensions at 0.27 powder volume fraction was investigated at 294 K. An optimum level of Dispex A40 for full deflocculation is found to be at 0.18% mass fraction of the powder, at which the rheological behaviour shows little different to that of adjusting the pH to 4 to obtain full deflocculation. It is demonstrated that the shear stress drop can roughly work as an index for the thixotropy in particular fixed conditions, and consequently an index for the deflocculation as the shear stress drop becomes larger when the level of the flocculation increases, and vice versa. It is also found that the addition of Dispex A40 can prevent the filter cakes from cracking, whereas the cakes at various pH values with polyvinyl alcohol as a sole polymer normally develop cracking during drying.展开更多

For this purpose, we study spin- and valley-dependent transport in a silicene system with spatially alternative strains. It is found that due to the valley-opposite gauge field induced by the strain, the strained silicene with a superlattice structure exhibits an angle-resolved valley and spin filtering effect when the spin–orbit interaction is considered. When the interaction that breaks the time reversal symmetry is introduced, such as the spin or valley dependent staggered magnetization, the system is shown to be a perfect spin and valley half metal in which only one spin and valley species is allowed to transport. Our findings are helpful to design both spintronic and valleytronic devices based on silicene.展开更多
