The study analyses the flow of an inviscid, barotropic, and compressible fluid around the stationary solid body. The dynamic behaviour of the fluid is analysed using a two-dimensional coupled Neumann-Kelvin model extended with capillarity and inertia terms. For computational purposes, it is necessary to truncate the unbounded spatial domain with artificial boundaries and then introduce appropriate absorbing boundary conditions. The propagation of short wavelength waves in a convective fluid medium with significant differences in properties between the interior and the surface of the fluid presents a number of difficulties in the design of these conditions.

It can be found that the pulse regime can actually consist of a lot of small noise pulses with randomly varying intensities. We believe that these results will further enrich the nonlinear dynamical processes in the ultrafast lasers.展开更多

So far,most related work is based on inorganic transparent conductive metasurfaces. In this paper, we proposed and experimentally demonstrated a flexible, broadband and optically transparent microwave absorber using an organic metasurface. The metasurface absorber is composed of a sandwich structure, in which electric resonances and magnetic resonances are induced resulting in broadband absorption. A spraying process was developed to prepare this metasurface absorber. Both simulations and experiment show that this metasurface has broadband microwave absorption and good optical transparency. We further found that by using a multi-layer structure, visible, radar,and infrared stealth(multi-band stealth) can be achieved simultaneously. With the advantages of excellent foldability and low cost, the proposed metasurfaces may have applications in military and wireless communication fields.展开更多

文摘B_(4)C/Al composites are widely utilized as neutron absorbing materials for the storage and transportation of spent nuclear fuel.In order to improve the high-temperature mechanical properties of B_(4)C/Al composites,in-situ nano-Al_(2)O_(3)was introduced utilizing oxide on Al powder surface.In this study,the Al_(2)O_(3)content was adjusted by utilizing spheroid Al powder with varying diameters,thereby investigating the impact of Al_(2)O_(3)content on the tensile properties of(B_(4)C+Al_(2)O_(3))/Al composites.It was found that the pinning effect of Al_(2)O_(3)on the grain boundaries could hinder the recovery of dislocations and lead to dislocation accumulation at high temperature.As the result,with the increase in Al_(2)O_(3)content and the decrease in grain size,the high-temperature strength of the composites increased significantly.The finest Al powder used in this investigation had a diameter of 1.4μm,whereas the resultant composite exhibited a maximum strength of 251 MPa at room temperature and 133 MPa at 350℃,surpassing that of traditional B_(4)C/Al composites.

文摘Gels and conductive polymer composites,including hydrogen bonds(HBs),have emerged as promising materials for electro-magnetic wave(EMW)absorption across various applications.However,the relationship between conduction loss in EMW-absorbing materials and charge transfer in HB remains to be fully understood.In this study,we developed a series of deep eutectic gels to fine-tune the quantity of HB by adjusting the molar ratio of choline chloride(ChCl)and ethylene glycol(EG).Owing to the unique properties of deep eutectic gels,the effects of magnetic loss and polarization loss on EMW attenuation can be disregarded.Our results indicate that the quantity of HB initially increases and then decreases with the introduction of EG,with HB-induced conductive loss following similar pat-terns.At a ChCl and EG molar ratio of 2.4,the gel labeled G22-CE2.4 exhibited the best EMW absorption performance,characterized by an effective absorption bandwidth of 8.50 GHz and a thickness of 2.54 mm.This superior performance is attributed to the synergistic ef-fects of excellent conductive loss and impedance matching generated by the optimal number of HB.This work elucidates the role of HB in dielectric loss for the first time and provides valuable insights into the optimal design of supramolecular polymer absorbers.

文摘Carbon-based foams with a three-dimensional structure can serve as a lightweight template for the rational design and control-lable preparation of metal oxide/carbon-based composite microwave absorption materials.In this study,a flake-like nickel cobaltate/re-duced graphene oxide/melamine-derived carbon foam(FNC/RGO/MDCF)was successfully fabricated through a combination of solvo-thermal treatment and high-temperature pyrolysis.Results indicated that RGO was evenly distributed in the MDCF skeleton,providing ef-fective support for the load growth of FNC on its surface.Sample S3,the FNC/RGO/MDCF composite prepared by solvothermal method for 16 h,exhibited a minimum reflection loss(RL_(min))of-66.44 dB at a thickness of 2.29 mm.When the thickness was reduced to 1.50 mm,the optimal effective absorption bandwidth was 3.84 GHz.Analysis of the absorption mechanism of FNC/RGO/MDCF revealed that its excellent absorption performance was primarily attributed to the combined effects of conduction loss,multiple reflection,scattering,in-terface polarization,and dipole polarization.

文摘Cu_(2)ZnSn(S,Se)_(4)(CZTSSe)is considered to be the most potential light-absorbing material to replace CuInGaSe_(2)(CIGS),but the actual photoelectric conversion efficiency of such cells is much lower than that of CIGS.One of the reasons is the high recombination rate of carriers at the interface.In this paper,in order to reduce the carrier recombination,a new solar cell structure with double absorber layers of Al-doped ZnO(AZO)/intrinsic(i)-ZnO/CdS/CZTS_(x1)Se_(1−x1)(CZTSSe_(1))/CZTS_(x2)Se_(1−x2)(CZTSSe_(2))/Mo was proposed,and the optimal conduction band offsets(CBOs)of CdS/CZTSSe_(1) interface and CZTSSe_(1)/CZTSSe_(2) interface were determined by changing the S ratio in CZTSSe_(1) and CZTSSe_(2),and the effect of thickness of CZTSSe_(1) on the performance of the cell was studied.The efficiencies of the optimized single and double absorber layers reached 17.97%and 23.4%,respectively.Compared with the single absorber layer structure,the proposed structure with double absorber layers has better cell performance.

文摘Optically transparent microwave absorbers and multi-band stealth have extensive potential applications in military defense and wireless communication fields, and thus have attracted considerable attention. So far,most related work is based on inorganic transparent conductive metasurfaces. In this paper, we proposed and experimentally demonstrated a flexible, broadband and optically transparent microwave absorber using an organic metasurface. The metasurface absorber is composed of a sandwich structure, in which electric resonances and magnetic resonances are induced resulting in broadband absorption. A spraying process was developed to prepare this metasurface absorber. Both simulations and experiment show that this metasurface has broadband microwave absorption and good optical transparency. We further found that by using a multi-layer structure, visible, radar,and infrared stealth(multi-band stealth) can be achieved simultaneously. With the advantages of excellent foldability and low cost, the proposed metasurfaces may have applications in military and wireless communication fields.

文摘Broadband and perfect terahertz absorber based on multilayer metamaterial using cross-ring patterned structures is proposed and investigated.The structure of the absorber is double absorption layers consisting of a chromium cross ring and eight isosceles right triangles.The unique structure of the double absorbing layers excites the electric dipole multimode resonance,giving rise to high absorption performance.Meanwhile,the influence of construal parameters on absorber behavior is also discussed.The numerical results show that the absorption achieves over 90%ranging from 2.45 THz to 6.25 THz and 99%absorption in the range of 3.7—5.3 THz.The realization of broadband and perfect absorber is described using the impedance matching principle.It is obviously found that the absorber is insensitive to the high angle of incidence for both transverse electric(TE)and transverse magnetic(TM)polarizations.Compared with the former reports,this absorber has remarkable improved absorption efficiency and smaller period.The terahertz absorber may be found applications in the fields of energy capture and thermal detection.

文摘Due to their unique physical properties,nonlinear materials are gradually demonstrating significant potential in the field of optics.Gold nanoparticles supported on carbon black(Au/CB),possessing low loss and high nonlinear characteristics,serve as an excellent material for saturable absorber(SA) in ultrafast fiber lasers.In this study,we investigated the performance of Au/CB material and designed an ultrafast fiber laser based on Au/CB SA,successfully observing stable fundamental mode-locking and pulse bunch phenomena.Specifically,when the fiber laser operates in fundamental mode-locking state,the center wavelength of optical spectrum is 1 558.82 nm,with a 3 dB bandwidth of 2.26 nm.Additionally,to investigate the evolution of real-time spectra,the dispersive Fourier transform(DFT) technology is employed.On the other hand,the pulse bunch emitted by the laser is actually composed of numerous random sub-pulses,exhibiting high-energy characteristics.The number of sub-pulses increases with the increase of pump power.These findings contribute to further exploring the properties of Au/CB material and reveal its potential applications in ultrafast optics.

文摘In the field of broadband metamaterial absorbers,most research efforts have focused on optimizing the resonant layers and designing multi-layer structures,but relatively little attention has been paid to the dielectric layers themselves.This paper proposed a method using carbonyl iron powder to modify the dielectric layer.This method significantly enhances the electromagnetic wave attenuation capability of the dielectric layer with the X-band range for metamaterial absorbers.A broadband absorber with a reflection loss(RL)of less than-10 dB within the frequency range of 4.98-18 GHz and covering the C,X,and Ku band was designed.This work analyzed the surface current distribution and the power loss distribution to elucidate the absorption mechanism of the absorber.It was found that the modified dielectric layer accounted for more than 30%of the total loss in the 2-18 GHz frequency band,and the effective absorption bandwidth(RL≤-10 dB)was almost twice that of the unmodified dielectric layer.This enhancement in absorption bandwidth is attributed to the introduction of a new electromagnetic wave loss mechanism by carbonyl iron powder.Meanwhile,the absorber exhibited good angular stability,maintaining at least 80%absorption(RL≤-7 dB)in the 7.0-18.0 GHz range even when the incident angle was increased to 60°.The experimental results showed that the measured results matched the simulation results well.Furthermore,compared with other methods for broadening the absorption bandwidth,the metamaterial absorber obtained by this method offers several advantages,including wideband absorption,thin profile,and a simple manufacturing process.This approach provides a new and promising direction for the design of broadband absorbers.

文摘In the last few years,research on advanced ultrafast photonic devices has attracted great interest from laser physicists.As a semiconductor material with excellent nonlinear saturation absorption characteristics,Ga As has been used in solidstate and fiber lasers as a mode-locker.However,the pulse widths that have been reported in the searchable published literature are all long and the shortest is tens of picoseconds.Femtosecond pulse widths,desired for a variety of applications,have not yet been reported in Ga As-based pulsed lasers.In this work,we further explore the nonlinear characteristics of Ga As that has been magnetron sputtered onto the surface of a tapered fiber and its application in the generation of femtosecond lasing via effective dispersion optimization and nonlinearity management.With the enhanced interaction between evanescent waves and Ga As nanosheets,mode-locked soliton pulses as short as 830 fs are generated at repetition rates of 4.64 MHz.As far as we know,this is the first time that femtosecond-level pulses have been generated with a Ga As-based saturable absorber.In addition,soliton molecules,including in the dual-pulse state,are also realized under stronger pumping.This work demonstrates that Ga As-based photonic devices have good application prospects in effective polymorphous ultrashort pulsed laser generation.
文摘Color plays an important role in the daily chemical product market,and transparent packaging of daily chemical products are loved by consumers,but it is difficult to avoid fading,discoloration or photodegradation of the inner material of the product.UV light is a major contributor to colorant fading,which can affect color stability by damaging chromogenic groups and producing free radicals.In view of this,the combination of four ultraviolet absorbers DHHB,OS,OMC,and MCE was investigated,and the photostability of five common colorants in cosmetics was studied.After 28 days of photostability test,the pigment preservation rate was analyzed,and the results showed that 0.1%of the UV absorber compound could have a certain protective effect on the colorant,and 0.5%of the compound could significantly improve the photostability of the colorant.Adding ultraviolet absorbers to daily chemical products can significantly improve the fading,discoloration or photodegradation of colorants caused by ultraviolet rays.

文摘This paper introduces damping amplifier friction vibration absorbers(DAFVAs),compound damping amplifier friction vibration absorbers(CDAFVAs),nested damping amplifier friction vibration absorbers(NDAFVAs),and levered damping amplifier friction vibration absorbers(LDAFVAs)for controlling the structural vibrations and addressing the limitations of conventional tuned mass dampers(TMDs)and frictiontuned mass dampers(FTMDs).The closed-form analytical solution for the optimized design parameters is obtained using the H_(2)and H_(∞)optimization approaches.The efficiency of the recently established closed-form equations for the optimal design parameters is confirmed by the analytical examination.The closed form formulas for the dynamic responses of the main structure and the vibration absorbers are derived using the transfer matrix formulations.The foundation is provided by the harmonic and random-white noise excitations.Moreover,the effectiveness of the innovative dampers has been validated through numerical analysis.The optimal DAFVAs,CDAFVAs,NDAFVAs,and LDAFVAs exhibit at least 30%lower vibration reduction capacity compared with the optimal TMD.To demonstrate the effectiveness of the damping amplification mechanism,the novel absorbers are compared with a conventional FTMD.The results show that the optimized novel absorbers achieve at least 91%greater vibration reduction than the FTMD.These results show how the suggested designs might strengthen the structure's resilience to dynamic loads.

文摘Transition metal disulfides are widely applied as nonlinear optical materials for laser pulse generation.In this paper,TaS_(2)is successfully used for the first time to achieve a high-energy passively Q-switched erbium-doped fiber(EDF)laser.TaS_(2)nanosheets are prepared by the liquid phase exfoliation method,and then the TaS_(2)solution is mixed with polyvinyl alcohol(PVA).TaS_(2)/PVA film is prepared,which is cut into 1 mm×1 mm flakes.TaS_(2)/PVA saturable absorber(SA)is obtained by sandwiching a small flake between two fiber optic patch cable connectors.With the TaS_(2)/PVA SA added to an EDF laser,a Q-switched fiber laser with a center wavelength of 1560 nm and a repetition rate ranging from 51.33 k Hz to 83.04 k Hz is realized.At the pump power of 231 m W,the maximum output power is 1094μW,and the shortest pulse duration is 3.48μs.The results confirm that the TaS_(2)material has excellent potential for application in nonlinear optics.
