To investigate the dynamic characteristics of transparent sand, a series of undrained cyclic simple shear tests were conducted on the saturated transparent sand composed of fused quartz and refractive index-matched oil mixture. The results reveal that an increase in the initial shear stress ratio significantly affects the shape of the hysteresis loop, particularly resulting in more pronounced asymmetrical accumulation. Factors such as lower relative density, higher cyclic stress ratios and higher initial shear stress ratio have been shown to accelerate cyclic deformation, cyclic pore water pressure and stiffness degradation. The cyclic liquefaction resistance curves decrease as the initial shear stress ratio increases or as relative density decreases. Booker model and power law function model were applied to predict the pore water pressure for transparent sand. Both models yielded excellent fits for their respective condition, indicating a similar dynamic liquefaction pattern to that of natural sands. Finally, transparent sand displays similar dynamic characteristics in terms of cyclic liquefaction resistance and Kα correction factor. These comparisons indicate that transparent sand can serve as an effective means to mimic many natural sands in dynamic model tests.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Sc_(2)O_(3),as a host for solid-state laser gain materials,has advantage of high thermal conductivity and easy matching with activating ions,which is promising in high-power laser applications.Currently,Yb-doped Sc_(2)O_(3) ceramics have been fabricated at very high sintering temperatures,but their optical quality and sintering process still need further improvement.In this work,5%Yb:Sc_(2)O_(3)(in mass)nano-powders were obtained by co-precipitation,and then transparent ceramics were fabricated by vacuum pre-sintering and hot isostatic pressing(HIP)post-treatment.The cubic Yb:Sc_(2)O_(3) nano-powders with good dispersity and an average crystallite of 29 nm were obtained.Influence of pre-sintering temperatures(1500-1700℃)on densification process,microstructure changes,and optical transmittance of Yb:Sc_(2)O_(3) ceramics was detected.Experimental data revealed that all samples have a uniform microstructure,while the average grain sizes increase with the increase of the sintering temperatures.Impressively,the optimum in-line transmittance of Yb:Sc_(2)O_(3) ceramics,pre-sintered at 1550℃after HIP post-treatment,reaches 78.1%(theoretical value of 80%)at 1100 nm.Spectroscopic properties of the Yb:Sc_(2)O_(3) ceramics reveal that the minimum population inversion parameterβ2 and the luminescence decay time of 5%Yb:Sc_(2)O_(3) ceramics are 0.041 and 0.49 ms,respectively,which demonstrate that the optical quality of the Yb:Sc_(2)O_(3) has been improved.Meanwhile,their best vacuum sintering temperature can be controlled down to a lower temperature(1550℃).In conclusion,Yb:Sc_(2)O_(3) nano-powders are successfully synthesized by co-precipitation method,and good optical quality transparent ceramics are fabricated by vacuum pre-sintering at 1550℃and HIP post-treatment.

文摘Over the past several decades,much research effort has been dedicated to the study of optical windows,with two primary themes emerging as key focuses.The first of these centers on investigating the optical properties of typical transparent single crystals under shock or ramp compression,which helps in the selection of appropriate optical windows for high-pressure experiments.The second involves the exploration of novel optical windows,particularly transparent polycrystalline ceramics,which not only match the shock impedance of the samples,but also preserve transparency under dynamic compression.In this study,we first integrate existing research on the evolution of optical properties in transparent single crystals and polycrystalline ceramics subjected to shock or ramp loading,proposing a mechanism that links mesoscopic damage to macroscopic optical transparency.Subsequently,through a systematic integration of experiments and computational analyses on polycrystalline transparent ceramics,we demonstrate that shock transparency can be enhanced by optimizing grain size and that shock impedance can be designed via compositional tuning.Notably,our results reveal that nano-grained MgAl_(2)O_(4) ceramics exhibit outstanding optical transparency under high shock pressures,highlighting a promising strategy for designing optical windows that retain transparency under extreme dynamic loading conditions.

文摘As living standards improve,the energy consumption for regulating indoor temperature keeps increasing.Windows,in particular,enhance indoor brightness but also lead to increased energy loss,especially in sunny weather.Developing a product that can maintain indoor brightness while reducing energy consumption is a challenge.We developed a facile,spectrally selective transparent ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene composite film to address this trade-off.It is based on a blend of antimony-doped tin oxide and then spin-coated hydrophobic fumed silica,achieving a high visible light transmittance(>70%)and high shielding rates for ultraviolet(>90%)and near-infrared(>70%).When applied to the acrylic window of containers and placed outside,this film can cause a 10℃ temperature drop compared to a pure polymer film.Moreover,in building energy simulations,the annual energy savings could be between 14.1%~31.9%per year.The development of energy-efficient and eco-friendly transparent films is crucial for reducing energy consumption and promoting sustainability in the window environment.

文摘Silver nanowires(Ag NWs)have promising application potential in electronic displays because of their superior flexibility and transparency.Doping Ni in Ag NWs has proven to be an effective strategy to im-prove its work function.However,AgNi NWs-based electrodes suffer from poor electrical conductivity under air exposure due to the low-conductivity NiO generated on its surface.Here,Cu was further doped in AgNi NWs to form AgNiCu NWs and regulate its surface oxide under long-term air exposure.Finally,it is demonstrated that the conductivity of AgNiCu NWs can acquire an improved tolerable tempera-ture(over 240℃)and prolonged high-temperature tolerance time(over 150 min)by finely regulating the doping content Cu,indicating an enhanced air-stable conductivity.The optimized AgNiCu NWs also achieve superior transparent conductivity as pure Ag NWs and high work function as AgNi NWs,which has been successfully applied in constructing an n-type photodiode with an effective rectification effect.

文摘p-type transparent oxide semiconductors(TOSs)are significant in the semiconductor industry,driving advancements in optoelectronic technologies for transparent electronic devices with unique properties.The recent discovery of p-type behavior in SeO_(2) has stimulated interest and confusion in the scientific community.In this Letter,we employ density functional theory calculations to reveal the intrinsic intrinsic insulating characteristics of SeO_(2) and highlight the substantial challenges in carrier doping.Our electronic structure analyses indicate that the Se 5^(2) states are energetically positioned too low to effectively interact with the O 2p orbitals,resulting in a valence band maximum(VBM)primarily dominated by the O 2p orbitals.The deep and localized nature of the VBM of SeO_(2) limits its potential as a high-mobility p-type TOS.Defect calculations demonstrate that all intrinsic defects in SeO_(2) exhibit deep transition levels within the bandgap.Regardless of the synthesis conditions,the Fermi level consistently resides in the mid-gap region.Furthermore,deep intrinsic acceptors and donors exhibit negative formation energies in the n-type and p-type regions,respectively,facilitating spontaneous formation and impeding external doping efforts.Thus,the reported p-type conductivity in SeO_(2) samples is unlikely to be intrinsic and is more plausibly attributable to reduced elemental Se,a well-known p-type semiconductor.

文摘Coal mining induces changes in the nature of rock and soil bodies,as well as hydrogeological conditions,which can easily trigger the occurrence of geological disasters such as water inrush,movement of the coal seam roof and floor,and rock burst.Transparency in coal mine geological conditions provides technical support for intelligent coal mining and geological disaster prevention.In this sense,it is of great significance to address the requirements for informatizing coal mine geological conditions,dynamically adjust sensing parameters,and accurately identify disaster characteristics so as to prevent and control coal mine geological disasters.This paper examines the various action fields associated with geological disasters in mining faces and scrutinizes the types and sensing parameters of geological disasters resulting from coal seam mining.On this basis,it summarizes a distributed fiber-optic sensing technology framework for transparent geology in coal mines.Combined with the multi-field monitoring characteristics of the strain field,the temperature field,and the vibration field of distributed optical fiber sensing technology,parameters such as the strain increment ratio,the aquifer temperature gradient,and the acoustic wave amplitude are extracted as eigenvalues for identifying rock breaking,aquifer water level,and water cut range,and a multi-field sensing method is established for identifying the characteristics of mining-induced rock mass disasters.The development direction of transparent geology based on optical fiber sensing technology is proposed in terms of the aspects of sensing optical fiber structure for large deformation monitoring,identification accuracy of optical fiber acoustic signals,multi-parameter monitoring,and early warning methods.

文摘Waveform generation and digitization play essential roles in numerous physics experiments.In traditional distributed systems for large-scale experiments,each frontend node contains an FPGA for data preprocessing,which interfaces with various data converters and exchanges data with a backend central processor.However,the streaming readout architecture has become a new paradigm for several experiments benefiting from advancements in data transmission and computing technologies.This paper proposes a scalable distributed waveform generation and digitization system that utilizes fiber optical connections for data transmission between frontend nodes and a central processor.By utilizing transparent transmission on top of the data link layer,the clock and data ports of the converters in the frontend nodes are directly mapped to the FPGA firmware at the backend.This streaming readout architecture reduces the complexity of frontend development and maintains the data conversion in proximity to the detector.Each frontend node uses a local clock for waveform digitization.To translate the timing information of events in each channel into the system clock domain within the backend central processing FPGA,a novel method is proposed and evaluated using a demonstrator system.

文摘Tissue clearing combined with high-resolution confocal imaging is a cutting-edge approach for dissecting the three-dimensional(3D)architecture of tissues and deciphering cellular spatial interactions under physiological and pathological conditions.Deciphering the spatial interaction of leptin receptor-expressing(LepR^(+))stromal cells with other compartments in the bone marrow is crucial for a deeper understanding of the stem cell niche and the skeletal tissue.In this study,we introduce an optimized protocol for the 3D analysis of skeletal tissues,enabling the visualization of hematopoietic and stromal cells,especially LepR+stromal cells,within optically cleared bone hemisections.Our method preserves the 3D tissue architecture and is extendable to other hematopoietic sites such as calvaria and vertebrae.The protocol entails tissue fixation,decalcification,and cryosectioning to reveal the marrow cavity.Completed within approximately 12 days,this process yields highly transparent tissues that maintain genetically encoded or antibody-stained fluorescent signals.The bone hemisections are compatible with diverse antibody labeling strategies.Confocal microscopy of these transparent samples allows for qualitative and quantitative image analysis using Aivia or Bitplane Imaris software,assessing a spectrum of parameters.With proper storage,the fluorescent signal in the stained and cleared bone hemisections remains intact for at least 2–3 months.This protocol is robust,straightforward to implement,and highly reproducible,offering a valuable tool for tissue architecture and cellular interaction studies.

文摘Highly transparent,durable,and flexible liquid-repellent coatings are urgently needed in the realm of transparent materials,such as car windows,optical lenses,solar panels,and flexible screen materials.However,it has been difficult to strike a balance between the robustness and flexibility of coatings constructed by a single cross-linked network design.To overcome the conundrum,this innovative approach effectively combines two distinct cross-linked networks with unique functions,thus overcoming the challenge.Through a tightly interwoven structure comprised of added crosslinking sites,the coating achieves improved liquid repellency(WCA>100°,OSA<10°),increased durability(withstands 2,000 cycles of cotton wear),enhanced flexibility(endures 5,000 cycles of bending with a bending radius of 1 mm),and maintains high transparency(over 98%in the range of 410 nm to 760 nm).Additionally,the coating with remarkable adhesion can be applied to multiple substrates,enabling large-scale preparation and easy cycling coating,thus expanding its potential applications.The architecture of this fluoride-free dual cross-linked network not only advances liquid-repellent surfaces but also provides valuable insights for the development of eco-friendly materials in the future.

文摘Achieving high-level integration of composite micro-nano structures with different structural characteristics through a minimalist and universal process has long been the goal pursued by advanced manufacturing research but is rarely explored due to the absence of instructive mechanisms.Here,we revealed a controllable ultrafast laser-induced focal volume light field and experimentally succeeded in highly efficient one-step composite structuring in multiple transparent solids.A pair of spatially coupled twin periodic structures reflecting light distribution in the focal volume are simultaneously created and independently tuned by engineering ultrafast laser-matter interaction.We demonstrated that the generated composite micro-nano structures are applicable to multi-dimensional information integration,nonlinear diffractive elements,and multi-functional optical modulation.This work presents the experimental verification of highly universal all-optical fabrication of composite micro-nano structures with independent controllability in multiple degrees of freedom,expands the current cognition of ultrafast laser-based material modification in transparent solids,and establishes a new scientific aspect of strong-field optics,namely,focal volume optics for composite structuring transparent solids.

文摘Planar-structured amorphous InGaZnO(a-IGZO)film-based UV photodetectors with different ITO interdigitated electrode spacings were developed on flexible PI substrates via radio frequency magnetron sputtering and non-lithographic fabrication processes.The effects of oxygen flow rate on the surface morphology,electrical transport,and chemical bonding properties of the a-IGZO films were systematically investigated to optimize the performance of the flexible detector.The average transmittance of the flexible a-IGZO photodetector is over 90%in the visible spectral range with a large photo-to-dark current ratio of 3.9×10^(3)under 360 nm UV illumination.The photocurrent of the detectors increases with decreasing the electrode spacing,which is attribute to formation of higher electrical field and drifting more electron-hole pairs to the electrode with shortening the electrode spacing.Under a UV illumination intensity of 9.1 mW/cm~2,the highest responsivity and detectivity of the photodetector with the electrode spacing of 0.4 mm reach 62.1 mA/W and2.83×10^(11)cm·Hz^(1/2)·W^(-1)at 11 V bias voltage,respectively.The flexible detector exhibits enhanced photoresponse performance with the rise and decay time of 2.02 and 0.94 s,respectively.These results can be used in a practical scheme to design and realize the a-IGZO based UV photodetectors with excellent transparency and flexibility for wearable UV monitoring applications.

文摘The highly transparent novel high-entropy(Lu_(0.2)Y_(0.2)Gd_(0.2)Yb_(0.2)Er_(0.2))_(2)O_(3) ceramic was successfully fabri-cated by the addition of 3 at.%ZrO_(2) and 10 at.%La_(2)O_(3) introduced as sintering additives via vacuum sin-tering.A single-phase solid solution cubic structure of the ceramic was obtained with a relative density of 99.95%and an average grain size of 6.91±3.28μm.The grain boundary of the(Lu_(0.2)Y_(0.2)Gd_(0.2)Yb_(0.2)Er_(0.2))_(2)O_(3) ceramic was clean with a thickness of only 1.3 nm.Further observations revealed uniform distribu-tion of all elements in the grains,and the presence of La and Zr segregation(1.5 nm thick)at few grain boundaries,but causing very little light scattering.The in-line transmittance of high-entropy(Lu_(0.2)Y_(0.2)Gd_(0.2)Yb_(0.2)Er_(0.2))_(2)O_(3) ceramic reached 80%at 1100 nm,which was 98.7%of the theoretical value of Er_(2)O_(3) single crystal.Also,there were fluorescence emissions observed in the ultraviolet(311 nm),vis-ible(563,622 nm),and near-infrared(1032,1535 nm)regions.In addition,the intense red emission and weak green emission were detected,and the broad emission with a peak at 1.5μm was attributed to Stark splitting of Er3+ions,so the corresponding mechanism was discussed.Results obtained suggest that the highly transparent novel high-entropy(Lu_(0.2)Y_(0.2)Gd_(0.2)Yb_(0.2)Er_(0.2))_(2)O_(3) ceramic fabricated in this study could have broad application prospects in optical applications such as scintillators,up-conversion luminescent materials,and infrared lasers.

文摘Flexible transparent antennas(FTAs)are widely used in wireless transmission fields,and their technological iterations are accelerating.However,the high losses caused by materials and structures limit the development of FTAs with both high light transmission and high gain,and the rapid iteration rate demands greater process flexibility,which makes it difficult for existing technologies to achieve both demands.Here,we design a novel shell-core structure composite metal mesh(CMM)FTA to achieve extremely low skin depth loss and ohmic loss using skin effect and report a novel hybrid additive manufacturing method based on electric field oriented deposition to achieve efficient and flexible manufacturing of the unique Ag/Cu core-shell structure CMM FTA.The typical sample has a light transmittance of 80%(including substrate)when the sheet resistance is 0.29Ω·sq^(-1),and has excellent bending and torsion resistance.The peak gain in the working band is as high as 5.22 dB,and the efficiency is 80%,which is close to the performance of the opaque Cu patch antenna.It also realizes smooth and stable real-time wireless transmission under bending and long-distance conditions.This method addresses the shortcomings of FTAs,namely their high cost,low manufacturing efficiency,and low performance,especially in the rapid iterative development of antennas.

文摘Transparent sand is a special material to realize visualization of concealed work in geotechnical engineering. To investigate the dynamic characteristics of transparent sand, a series of undrained cyclic simple shear tests were conducted on the saturated transparent sand composed of fused quartz and refractive index-matched oil mixture. The results reveal that an increase in the initial shear stress ratio significantly affects the shape of the hysteresis loop, particularly resulting in more pronounced asymmetrical accumulation. Factors such as lower relative density, higher cyclic stress ratios and higher initial shear stress ratio have been shown to accelerate cyclic deformation, cyclic pore water pressure and stiffness degradation. The cyclic liquefaction resistance curves decrease as the initial shear stress ratio increases or as relative density decreases. Booker model and power law function model were applied to predict the pore water pressure for transparent sand. Both models yielded excellent fits for their respective condition, indicating a similar dynamic liquefaction pattern to that of natural sands. Finally, transparent sand displays similar dynamic characteristics in terms of cyclic liquefaction resistance and Kα correction factor. These comparisons indicate that transparent sand can serve as an effective means to mimic many natural sands in dynamic model tests.

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Ta-doped SnO_(2)(TTO)is a suitable candidate to replace transparent conductive oxide(TCO)composed of expensive indium used for optoelectronics and silicon heterojunction solar cells fabricated below 200℃.However,TTO films fabricated by sputtering at low temperature still demonstrate too high resistance and optical absorptance for application in industry.In this study,we investigate the influence of sputtering ambient on the optoelectrical properties of TTO films.The addition of hydrogen and oxygen to argon during sputtering leads to a large improvement in the optoelectrical properties of TTO films.The best TTO film has a low average absorptance of 1.9%and a low resistance of 3.8×10^(-3)Ω·cm with a high carrier density of 9.3×10^(19)cm^(-3)and mobility of 17.8 cm^(2)·V^(-1)·s^(-1).The micros tructural and compositional properties of TTO films were characterized using x-ray diffraction,x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and UV-Vis spectrophotometry.A proper ratio of hydrogen to oxygen in the sputtering gas improves the crystallinity and the doping efficiency of Ta.Optical absorptance is also reduced with suppressed formation of Sn(Ⅱ)in the TTO films.Therefore,our findings exhibit remarkable potential for the industrial application of TTO as a low-cost TCO.
