The estimation principle and theoretical estimation bias of these estimators under Rayleigh fading channels were analyzed; furthermore, the Cramer Rao bound (CRB) of Doppler shift estimation was deduced, and a novel modification method based on two-dimensional polynomial fitting was proposed to reduce the Doppler shift estimation bias. We verified our algorithms with the Monte Carlo computer simulation; simulation results showed better variance performance of modified methods than those of the original methods. In addition, the applicable situations of these estimators were discussed.展开更多

文摘Based on the nonlinear saturable absorption properties(NSAPs)of a two-dimensional(2D)material of antimony selenide(Sb_(2)Se_(3)),a Q-switched erbium-doped fiber(EDF)laser is systematically demonstrated.The Sb_(2)Se_(3)nano sheets are prepared by liquid-phase exfoliation(LPE)method.After the sandwich-structured Sb_(2)Se_(3)saturable absorber(SA)is fabricated,the NSAPs are characterized and the modulation depth,the saturation intensity and the unsaturated loss are determined to be 25.2%,2.02 MW/cm^(2),and 3.29%,respectively.When the as-prepared Sb_(2)Se_(3)-SA is integrated into the ring cavity,the laser operates at a stable Q-switching regime in the pump power range of 100—400 mW.The laser oscillates at the central wavelength of 1558.48 nm with a 3 dB bandwidth of 2.32 nm.Take the advantages of the Sb_(2)Se_(3)-SA,the pulse duration can be compressed from 40.49 kHz to 128.12 kHz.At the pump power of 400 mW,the Q-switching laser gives the narrowest pulse duration the highest average output power,the largest pulse energy,and the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)of 0.93μs,2.16 mW,16.89 nJ,and 53 dB,respectively.Our new attempt on Sb_(2)Se_(3)-based Q-switched EDF laser,combining the existing mode-locking achievements,proves that Sb_(2)Se_(3)is a powerful candidate for pulse compression due to the characteristics of high modulation depth and high stability.

文摘The presence of a van Hove singularity(vHS)at the Fermi level can trigger magnetic instability by mediating a spontaneous transition from paramagnetic to magnetically ordered states.While electrostatic doping(typically achieved via ionic gating)to shift the vHS to the Fermi level provides a general mechanism for engineering such magnetism,its volatile nature often leads to the collapse of induced states upon gate field removal.Here,a novel scheme is presented for non-volatile magnetic control by utilizing ferroelectric heterostructures to achieve reversible magnetism switching.Using two-dimensional VSiN_(3),a nonmagnetic material with Mexican-hat electronic band dispersions hosting vHSs,as a prototype,it is preliminarily demonstrated that both electron and hole doping can robustly induce magnetism.Further,by interfacing VSiN_(3)with ferroelectric Sc_(2)CO_(2),reversible switching of its magnetic state via polarization-driven heterointerfacial charge transfer is achieved.This mechanism enables a dynamic transition between insulating and half-metallic phases in VSiN_(3),establishing a pathway to design multiferroic tunnel junctions with giant tunneling electroresistance or magnetoresistance.This work bridges non-volatile ferroelectric control with vHS-enhanced magnetism,opening opportunities for energy-efficient and high-performance spintronic devices and non-volatile memory devices.

文摘Anion exchange membrane fuel cells(AEMFCs),regarded as a promising alternative to proton exchange membrane fuel cells(PEMFCs),have garnered increasing attention because of their cost-effectiveness by using the non-noble metal catalysts and hydrocarbon-based ionomers as membrane[1].However,despite of extensive researches on non-noble metal catalysts such as Co[2].
文摘Several Doppler shift estimators, including mean logarithm envelope difference (MLED) method, auto-correlation function (ACF) method, zero crossing rate (ZCR) method and mean square phase difference (MSPD) method were discussed and compared. The estimation principle and theoretical estimation bias of these estimators under Rayleigh fading channels were analyzed; furthermore, the Cramer Rao bound (CRB) of Doppler shift estimation was deduced, and a novel modification method based on two-dimensional polynomial fitting was proposed to reduce the Doppler shift estimation bias. We verified our algorithms with the Monte Carlo computer simulation; simulation results showed better variance performance of modified methods than those of the original methods. In addition, the applicable situations of these estimators were discussed.
