In the present work, Bi（Fe, Mn）O3thin films are fabricated by pulsed laser deposition method, and the effects of Mn doping on the microstructure, optical, leakage,ferroelectric and photovoltaic characteristics of Bi（Fe, Mn）O3 thin films are systematically investigated. The x-ray diffraction data indicate that Bi（Fe, Mn）O3 thin films each have a rhombohedrally distorted perovskite structure. From the light absorption results, it follows that the band gap of Bi（Fe, Mn）O3 thin films can be tuned by doping different amounts of Mn content. More importantly, photovoltaic measurement demonstrates that the short-circuit photocurrent density and the open-circuit voltage can both be remarkably improved through doping an appropriate amount of Mn content, leading to the fascinating fact that the maximum power output of ITO/BiFe（0.7）Mn（0.3）O3/Nb-STO capacitor is about 175 times higher than that of ITO/BiFeO3/Nb-STO capacitor. The improvement of photovoltaic response in Bi（Fe, Mn）O3 thin film can be reasonably explained as being due to absorbing more visible light through bandgap engineering and maintaining the ferroelectric property at the same time.展开更多

It stands to reason that engineering students who have established entrance into their upper-division programs will have demonstrated cognitive proficiency in math and logical operations, abstract and analytical reasoning and language usage, to include writing. In this study the question was asked: is there a correlation between an upper-division electrical engineering students’ analytical reasoning ability and their descriptive writing ability? Descriptive writing is taken here to mean a students’ ability to identify key physical aspects of a mathematical model and to express—in words—a concise and well-balanced description that demonstrates a deep conceptual understanding of the model. This includes more than a description of the variables or the particular application to an engineering problem;it includes a demonstrated recognition of the basic physics that govern the model, certain limitations (idealizations) inherent in the model, and an understanding of how to make practical experimental measurements to verify the governing physics in the model. A student at this level may demonstrate proficiency in their analytical reasoning skills and hence be capable of correctly solving a given problem. However, this does not guarantee that the same student is skilled in associating equations with their physical meaning on a deep conceptual level or in understanding physical limitations of the equation. Consequently, such a student may demonstrate difficulty in mapping their comprehension of the model into written language that demonstrates a sound conceptual understanding of the governing physics. The findings represent a sample of two independent class sections of Electrical and Computer Engineering junior’s first course in Microe-lectronic Devices and Circuits during fall semesters 2012 and 2013 at a private mid-size university in NW Oregon. A total of three exams were administered to each of the 2012/2013 groups. Correlations between exam scores that students achieved on their descriptive writing of microelectronics phenomena and their analytical problem-solving abilities were examined and found to be quite significant.展开更多

When every line sends power and every substation is put into operation, it means sending more light and warmth to the people. As an enterprise, we should explore advanced technical means and excellent management methods to better build electric power engineering. As one of the products of the industrialization process, the prefabricated foundation has gradually conveyed more advanced construction methods for the power industry. Although its cost is higher than that of the cast-in-place foundation, the economic benefits and social benefits brought by the shortening of the construction period and the restoration of power transmission in advance are inestimable.展开更多

As one of the products of the industrialization process, the prefabricated foundation has gradually conveyed more advanced construction methods for the power industry. Although its cost is higher than that of the cast-in-place foundation, the economic benefits and social benefits brought by the shortening of the construction period and the restoration of power transmission in advance are inestimable.

文摘Compared with Cu/Al_(2)O_(3)composites,high-strength Cu/Al_(2)O_(3)composites usually exhibit obviously deteriorated electrical conductivity.A chemical and mechanical alloying-based strategy was adopted to fabricate ultrafine composite powders with lowcontent reinforcement and constructed a combined structure of Cu ultrafine powders covered with in-situ Al_(2)O_(3)nanoparticles.After consolidation at a relatively lower sintering temperature of 550℃,high-volume-fraction ultrafine grains were introduced into the Cu/Al_(2)O_(3)composite,and many in-situ Al_(2)O_(3)nanoparticles with an average size of 11.7±7.5 nm were dispersed homogeneously in the Cu grain.Results show that the composite demonstrates an excellent balance of high tensile strength(654±1 MPa)and high electrical conductivity(84.5±0.1%IACS),which is ascribed to the synergistic strengthening effect of ultrafine grains,dislocations,and in-situ Al_(2)O_(3)nanoparticles.This approach,which utilizes ultrafine composite powder with low-content reinforcement as a precursor and employs low-temperature and high-pressure sintering subsequently,may hold promising potential for large-scale industrial production of high-performance oxide dispersion strengthened alloys.
文摘The ocean holds abundant petroleum,natural gas,and mineral resources that form an essential material foundation for the sustainable development of modern society.The safe and efficient exploitation of these resources depends heavily on various slender,composite,flexible structures,including umbilical cables,dynamic power cables for offshore wind turbines,petroleum pipelines(both bonded and unbonded),deep-sea mining risers,and LNG cryogenic flexible hoses.These structures feature highly complex configurations and incur substantial design and manufacturing costs,while operating in environments far more severe and variable than those of onshore pipelines.They must withstand multisource stochastic loads generated by the combined action of wind,waves,currents,and tides,and maintain robustness under extreme conditions such as typhoons,earthquakes,and explosions.

文摘In high-frequency electrical energy systems,polyimide(PI)composite insulation materials need to possess a low dielectric constant,sufficient thermal conductivity,and robust interfacial adhesion to ensure reliable performance under elevated temperatures and pressures.These aspects are crucial for preventing local overheating and electrical breakdown,thereby ensuring reliable equipment operation.Traditional PI insulation materials often exhibit high dielectric constants and pronounced dielectric losses,compromising their insulation efficiency.In this study,molecular dynamics simulations were employed to incorporate polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes(POSS)into PI through physical blending and chemical bonding to enhance dielectric properties.Key parameters of the PI/POSS composite system,including dielectric constant,thermal conductivity,glass transition temperature,Young’s modulus,Poisson’s ratio,and interfacial adhesion energy,were systematically evaluated for both doping methods.The degradation behavior of the PI composites under high-temperature and electric field conditions was also simulated to elucidate degradation pathways and product distributions,providing insights for designing low-dielectric insulation materials.Doping with POSS significantly reduces the dielectric constant of PI,thereby improving insulation performance,thermal stability,mechanical strength,and interfacial adhesion.At an optimal POSS doping ratio,the thermal conductivity of PI is enhanced.Compared with the physical blending system,the chemical bonding system yields more substantial improvements across all evaluated properties.Under high-temperature and strong electric field conditions,POSS doping enhances interfacial adhesion and thermal stability,effectively suppressing the cleavage of key chemical bonds,reducingCOemissions,and increasing the formation of oxygen-containing intermediates and water molecules,which contributes to improved environmental sustainability.

文摘The state of health SoH of lithium ion batteries plays a predominant role in ensuring the safe and reliable operation of electric vehicles.In this,a novel SoH estimation approach using support vector regression with a Gaussian kernel optimized using the Bayesian optimization technique(BO-SVR with a Gaussian kernel)was proposed.Unlike,traditional approaches that use the internal resistance,and battery capacity as input parameters,this study utilized the equivalent discharging voltage difference interval and equivalent charging voltage difference interval,as they capture the dynamic voltage characteristics associated with the battery degradation.The model was simulated using MATLAB 2023a.The mean absolute error,R^(2),root mean squared error,and mean squared error were considered as performance indicators.The simulation results indicated that the proposed BO-SVR with a Gaussian kernel model had superior performance to other kernel SVR and Gaussian Process Regression models,with a reduced RMSE of 0.0082,thus demonstrating its potential to predict the SoH more accurately.
