Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the morphology and structure of the multilayered nanowire arrays. Vibrating sample magnetometer and physical property measurement system were used to measure their magnetic and giant magnetoresistance （GMR） properties. The effect of sub-layer thickness on the magnetic and GMR properties was investigated. The results indicate that magnetic properties of electmdeposited nanowires are not affected obviously by Cu layer thickness, while magnetic layers （Ni-Fe and Co layers） have significant influence. In addition, GMR ratio presents an oscillatory behavior as Cu layer thickness changes. The magnetic and GMR properties of the multilayered nanowire arrays are optimum at room temperature for the material structure of Ni-Fe （25 nm）/Cu （15 nm）/Co （25 nm）/Cu （15 nm） with 30 deposition cycles.展开更多

Then, we summarize the driving principles and structures of various common driving methods from the perspective of bionics, and discuss the latest developments in the field of soft robot actuation from the perspective of driving modalities and methodologies. We then discuss the application directions of bio-inspired soft robots and the latest developments in each direction. Finally, after an in-depth review of various soft bio-inspired robot driving technologies in recent years, we summarize the issues and challenges encountered in the advancement of soft robot actuation technology.展开更多

文摘Surrounding rock deterioration and large deformation have always been a significant difficulty in designing and constructing tunnels in soft rock.The key lies in real-time perception and quantitative assessment of the damaged area around the tunnel.An in situ microseismic(MS)monitoring system is established in the plateau soft tock tunnel.This technique facilitates spatiotemporal monitoring of the rock mass's fracturing expansion and squeezing deformation,which agree well with field convergence deformation results.The formation mechanisms of progressive failure evolution of soft rock tunnels were discussed and analyzed with MS data and numerical results.The results demonstrate that:(1)Localized stress concentration and layered rock result in significant asymmetry in micro-fractures propagation in the tunnel radial section.As excavation continues,the fracture extension area extends into the deep surrounding rockmass on the east side affected by the weak bedding;(2)Tunnel excavation and long-term deformation can induce tensile shear action on the rock mass,vertical tension fractures(account for 45%)exist in deep rockmass,which play a crucial role in controlling the macroscopic failure of surrounding rock;and(3)Based on the radiated MS energy,a three-dimensional model was created to visualize the damage zone of the tunnel surrounding rock.The model depicted varying degrees of damage,and three high damage zones were identified.Generally,the depth of high damage zone ranged from 4 m to 12 m.This study may be a valuable reference for the warning and controlling of large deformations in similar projects.

文摘FeSiAl-based soft magnetic composites(SMCs),prepared from insulated FeSiAl powders,are widely applied in electronic devices.However,it is still challenging to achieve high magnetic and mechanical properties simultaneously due to the undesirable insulation layer.Here,double Al_(2)O_(3) insulation layers are prepared for FeSiAl SMC.Atomic-scale characterizations reveal an in-situ epitaxial Al_(2)O_(3) layer at FeSiAl surface under the catalysis of NaAlO_(2),and an outer amorphous Al_(2)O_(3) layer by subsequent NaAlO2 hydrolysis.The above structure ensures effective insulation of FeSiAl powders and excellent magnetic properties of the FeSiAl/NaAlO2 SMC,with permeability of 101 and power loss of 128 mW/cm^(3)(50 mT,100 kHz)respectively.Moreover,in-situ Al_(2)O_(3)/amorphous Al_(2)O_(3) on FeSiAl matrix also leads to distinguished crush strength of 36.5 MPa for the core sample,which is ascribed to the enhanced adhesion at different interfaces as evidenced by similar local oxygen coordination and low strain distribution.This work provides a novel method to fabricate high-performance FeSiAl SMCs.

文摘Soft robots have partially or entirely provided versatile opportunities for issues or roles that cannot be addressed by conventional machine robots,although most studies are limited to designs,controls,or physical/mechanical motions.Here,we present a transformable,reconfigurable robotic platform created by the integration of magnetically responsive soft composite matrices with deformable multifunctional electronics.Magnetic compounds engineered to undergo phase transition at a low temperature can readily achieve reversible magnetization and conduct various changes of motions and shapes.Thin and flexible electronic system designed with mechanical dynamics does not interfere with movements of the soft electronic robot,and the performances of wireless circuit,sensors,and devices are independent of a variety of activities,all of which are verified by theoretical studies.Demonstration of navigations and electronic operations in an artificial track highlights the potential of the integrated soft robot for on-demand,environments-responsive movements/metamorphoses,and optoelectrical detection and stimulation.Further improvements to a miniaturized,sophisticated system with material options enable in situ monitoring and treatment in envisioned areas such as biomedical implants.

文摘Soft actuators and stimuli responsive materials are highlighted in the research field for their enormous potential in transit tasks,sensing,and biomedical devices,particularly the magnetic responsive soft actu-ators driven by magnetic force remotely.Nevertheless,the further study of magnetic responsive actuators with complex three-dimensional geometries and multiple functions is still limited by uncomplicated de-sign and flexible locomotion.This work provides a novel scheme integrating the origami method and modular designs,which defines the inner properties of magnetic material,extending the functions of magnetic responsive actuators with various modules.The directions of the inner magnetic moments can be programmed and the deformation degrees can be regulated by this approach,which promotes the fabrication of complicated soft actuators with multiple functions by integrating with modular designs.Especially,a movable actuator with various sensing modulus is designed by the origami method,which can perform the sensing application to external ultra-violet(UV),heat,and pH stimuli.Moreover,a mi-croneedle modular actuator which can be controlled wirelessly by a magnetic field was demonstrated for the potential application in the biomedical field.This proposed scheme for engineering magnetic respon-sive material with modular designs has shown great potential to improve the feasibility,versatility,and multiple functionalities of soft actuators.

We then discuss the application directions of bio-inspired soft robots and the latest developments in each direction. Finally, after an in-depth review of various soft bio-inspired robot driving technologies in recent years, we summarize the issues and challenges encountered in the advancement of soft robot actuation technology.

文摘Owing to the presence of large residual internal stress during cold compaction,it is difficult to optimize the multiple high-frequency magnetic properties of amorphous soft magnetic composites(ASMCs)simultaneously.Here,a surface nanoengineering strategy was proposed to address the above dilemma by constructing a stress buffer layer composed of amorphous nano-particles,between amorphous powder and insulation coating.The amorphous FeSiBCCr@x wt.%FeB(x=0.5,1,3)composite powders with coreshell structures were successfully prepared via an in-situ chemical reduction method.Especially,when the composite ratio of nano-particles is 1 wt.%,the comprehensive properties of the ASMC reach the best balance.Compared with the FeSiBCCr ASMC,the saturation magnetization of the modified ASMC enhances from 153 to 171 emu/g.Meanwhile,the core loss decreases by 28.25%,while the effective permeability increases by 25% and can stabilize to∼20 MHz.Therefore,our work provides a strategy for achieving superior comprehensive soft magnetic properties of ASMCs via surface nanoengineering,which presents enormous application potential in high-frequency electric devices.
文摘During restorative dental procedures,complete control over the operative site is critical for patient comfort,safety,and the operator’s access and visibility.The success of a fixed prosthesis depends on accurate impression making of the prepared finish lines on the abutment teeth.To optimise long-term outcomes for the fixed restoration,gingival retraction techniques should be used to decrease the marginal discrepancy among the restoration and the prepared abutment.Accurate marginal positioning of the restoration along the prepared finish line of the abutment is essential for therapeutic,preventive,and aesthetic purposes.

文摘Soft electronics,which are designed to function under mechanical deformation(such as bending,stretching,and folding),have become essential in applications like wearable electronics,artificial skin,and brain-machine interfaces.Crystalline silicon is one of the most mature and reliable materials for high-performance electronics;however,its intrinsic brittleness and rigidity pose challenges for integrating it into soft electronics.Recent research has focused on overcoming these limitations by utilizing structural design techniques to impart flexibility and stretchability to Si-based materials,such as transforming them into thin nanomembranes or nanowires.This review summarizes key strategies in geometry engineering for integrating crystalline silicon into soft electronics,from the use of hard silicon islands to creating out-of-plane foldable silicon nanofilms on flexible substrates,and ultimately to shaping silicon nanowires using vapor-liquid-solid or in-plane solid-liquid-solid techniques.We explore the latest developments in Si-based soft electronic devices,with applications in sensors,nanoprobes,robotics,and brain-machine interfaces.Finally,the paper discusses the current challenges in the field and outlines future research directions to enable the widespread adoption of silicon-based flexible electronics.

文摘A 100-channel double-foil soft X-ray array imaging(DSXAI)diagnostic system has been developed for the HL-2A tokamak to obtain tomographic bremsstrahlung emissivity and electron temperature(T_(e)).This system employs a double-foil technique to determine T_(e) by comparing the soft X-ray(SXR)emissivities from the same plasma location through two beryllium(Be)foils of differing thickness.The DSXAI system comprises five photocameras mounted at two different poloidal cross-sections,separated toroidally by 15°,allowing for three distinct poloidal viewing angles.Each photocamera features 20 channels,offering a temporal resolution of approximately 4μs and a spatial resolution of about 8 cm,with no channel overlap.Each photocamera contains two identical optical systems,each defined by an aperture slit and a photodiode array.The double-foil configuration is realized by placing these two optical systems,each with a different Be foil,in close proximity.Initial experimental results demonstrate that the DSXAI diagnostic system performs well,successfully reconstructing 2-dimensional(2D)tomographic SXR emissivity and T_(e) on the HL-2A tokamak.This study provides valuable insights for the future implementation of similar diagnostic systems on fusion reactors like ITER.
