In this paper, the finite element method is used to investigate the absorption characteristics of a viscoelastic panel periodically embedded with a type of infinite-long noncoaxially cylindrical locally resonant scatterers(LRSs). The effect of the core position in the coating layer of the LRS on the low-frequency(500 Hz–3000 Hz) sound absorption property is investigated. With increasing the longitudinal core eccentricity e, there occur few changes in the absorptance at the frequencies below 1500 Hz, however, the absorptance above 1500 Hz becomes gradually better and the valid absorption(with absorptance above 0.8) frequency band(VAFB)of the viscoelastic panel becomes accordingly broader. The absorption mechanism is revealed by using the displacement field maps of the viscoelastic panel and the steel slab. The results show two typical resonance modes. One is the overall resonance mode(ORM) caused by steel backing, and the other is the core resonance mode(CRM) caused by LRS. The absorptance of the viscoelastic panel by ORM is induced mainly by the vibration of the steel slab and affected little by core position. On the contrary, with increasing the core eccentricity, the CRM shifts toward high frequency band and decouples with the ORM, leading to two separate absorption peaks and the broadened VAFB of the panel.展开更多

And the traditional TLS-Prony algorithm is modified to extract these feature vectors. The analysis of Cramer-Rao bound shows that the modified algorithm not only improves the restriction of high signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)threshold of traditional TLS-Prony algorithm, but also is suitable to the extraction of big damped coefficients and high-resolution estimation of near separation poles. Finally, an illustrative example is presented to verify its practicability in the applications. The experimental results show that the method developed can not only recognize two airplane-like targets with similar shape at low SNR, but also compress the original radar data with high fidelity.展开更多

But non- WSSUS models have more universal applicability when the wireless mobile channel with broadband is studied with finer and more detailed knowledge of propagation environments. So the four-Dimension （4-D） characteristics of channel, namely time, lag, frequency, and Doppler, should be studied together. In this paper, Wigner-Ville distribution of Time-Frequency （TF） domain is introduced to analyze channel in which the incidence rays are non-stationary and correlated with each other. Several channel models, according to different move modes of incidence rays, with time-varying Doppler shift are designed and 4-D Local Scattering Function （LSF） are computed and simulated respectively. Our simulation results show the LSF present asymmetric and non-periodic TF distri- bution for some symmetric and periodic move modes of incidence rays.展开更多

In this contribution, we make a comparison of the two light scattering techniques by employing gold nanoparticles （AuNPs） aggregation induced by mercuric ions. It was found that citrate-stabilized AuNPs got aggregated in aqueous medium in the presence of mercuric ions through a chelation process, resulting in greatly enhanced LSPR-LS signals and increased hydrodynamic diameter. The enhanced LSPR-LS intensity （A/） is proportional to the concentration of mercuric ions in the range of 0.4-2.5 laM following the linear regression equation of A/= -84.7＋516.4c, with the correlation coefficient of 0.983 （n = 6） and the limit of determi- nation （3o-） about 0.10 gM. On the other hand, the increased hydrodynamic diameter can be identified by the DLS signals only with a concentration of Hg2＋ in the range of 1.0-2.5 gM, and a linear relationship between the average hydrodynamic diame- ters of the resulted aggregates and the concentration of Hg2＋ can be expressed as d = -6.16 ＋ 45.9c with the correlation coeffi- cient of 0.994. In such case, LSPR-LS signals were further applied to the selective determination of mercuric ions in lake water samples with high sensitivity and simple operation.展开更多

It can provide a non-invasive alternative without the need for exogenous labels,while the enhancement factor for surface plasmon resonances（SPR） are extensively used to increase the local field close to the oscillators and which can obtain high enhancement. In this work, we investigate the enhancement factor of our structure for surface-enhanced coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering. The absorption spectrum of the structure has been studied, a wide range of absorption has been realized. The enhancement can be as high as 10^（16） over standard CARS. Our design is very useful for improving the enhancement factor of surface-enhanced coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering.展开更多

In this study, using a polarization-activated localization scheme based on the orientation-dependent properties of anisotropic plasmonic metal nanoparticles （MNPs）, ＂photoswitchable＂ imaging of single gold nanorods （AuNRs） was accomplished not only in two dimensions but also in three dimensions. Moreover, the Rayleigh scattering background arising from the congested subcellular structures was efficiently suppressed. Thus, we obtained the 3D distributions of both the position and the orientation of the AuNRs inside the cells and investigated their intemalization kinetics. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of the confocal-like 3D imaging of non-fluorescence nanoparticles with a high resolution and almost zero background. This technique is easy to implement and should greatly facilitate MNP studies and applications in biomedicine and biology.展开更多
