However, these devices with transport layer structure are prone to result in a poor perovskite/transport layer interface, which restricts the performance and stability of the device. To solve this problem, this work reports a novel device structure in which perovskite nanowires are in-situ prepared on PbI_(2), which serves as both a reaction raw material and efficient carrier extraction layer. By optimizing the thickness of PbI_(2), nanowire growth time, and ion exchange time, a selfdriven photodetector with an ITO/PbI_(2)/CsPbBr_(3)/carbon structure is constructed. The optimized device achieves excellent performance with the responsivity of 0.33 A/W, the detectivity of as high as 3.52 × 10^(13) Jones. Furthermore, the device can detect the light with its optical power lowered to 0.1 nW/cm^(2).

Polymerase chain reaction(PCR), as a promising tool for Salmonella detection, is facing a lack of simple and fast sensing methods that are compatible with field applications in resource-limited areas. In this work, we developed a sensing approach to identify PCR-amplified Salmonella genomic DNA with the naked eye in a snapshot. Based on the ratiometric fiuorescence signals from SYBR Green Ⅰ and Hydroxyl naphthol blue, positive samples stood out from negative ones with a distinct color pattern under UV exposure. The proposed sensing scheme enabled highly specific identification of Salmonella with a detection limit at the single-copy level. Also, as a supplement to the intuitive naked-eye visualization results, numerical analysis of the colored images was available with a smartphone app to extract RGB values from colored images. This work provides a simple, rapid, and user-friendly solution for PCR identification, which promises great potential in molecular diagnosis of Salmonella and other pathogens in field.展开更多

文摘An in-pixel histogramming time-to-digital converter(hTDC)based on octonary search and 4-tap phase detection is presented,aiming to improve frame rate while ensuring high precicion.The proposed hTDC is a 12-bit two-step converter consisting of a 6-bit coarse quantization and a 6-bit fine quantization,which supports a time resolution of 120 ps and multiphoton counting up to 2 GHz without a GHz reference frequency.The proposed hTDC is designed in 0.11μm CMOS process with an area consumption of 6900μm^(2).The data from a behavioral-level model is imported into the designed hTDC circuit for simulation verification.The post-simulation results show that the proposed hTDC achieves 0.8%depth precision in 9 m range for short-range system design specifications and 0.2%depth precision in 48 m range for long-range system design specifications.Under 30×10^(3) lux background light conditions,the proposed hTDC can be used for SPAD-based flash LiDAR sensor to achieve a frame rate to 40 fps with 200 ps resolution in 9 m range.

文摘Transition metal sulfides have great potential as anode mterials for sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)due to their high theoretical specific capacities.However,the inferior intrinsic conductivity and large volume variation during sodiation-desodiation processes seriously affect its high-rate and long-cyde performance,unbeneficial for the application as fast-charging and long-cycling SIBs anode.Herein,the three-dimensional porous Cu_(1.81)S/nitrogen-doped carbon frameworks(Cu_(1.81)S/NC)are synthesized by the simple and facile sol-gel and annealing processes,which can accommodate the volumetric expansion of Cu_(1.81)S nanoparticles and accelerate the transmission of ions and electrons during Na^(+)insertion/extraction processes,exhibiting the excellent rate capability(250.6 mA·g^(-1)at 20.0 A·g^(-1))and outstanding cycling stability(70% capacity retention for 6000 cycles at 10.0 A·g^(-1))for SIBs.Moreover,the Na-ion full cells coupled with Na_(3)V_(2)(PO_(4))_(3)/C cathode also demonstrate the satisfactory reversible specific capacity of 330.5 mAh·g^(-1)at 5.0 A·g^(-1)and long-cycle performance with the 86.9% capacity retention at 2.0 A·g^(-1)after 750 cycles.This work proposes a promising way for the conversionbased metal sulfides for the applications as fast-charging sodium-ion battery anode.

文摘In this work,we investigate the impact of the whole small recess offset on DC and RF characteristics of InP high electron mobility transistors(HEMTs).L_(g)=80 nm HEMTs are fabricated with a double-recessed gate process.We focus on their DC and RF responses,including the maximum transconductance(g_(m_max)),ON-resistance(R_(ON)),current-gain cutoff frequency(f_(T)),and maximum oscillation frequency(f_(max)).The devices have almost same RON.The g_(m_max) improves as the whole small recess moves toward the source.However,a small gate to source capacitance(C_(gs))and a small drain output conductance(g_(ds))lead to the largest f_(T),although the whole small gate recess moves toward the drain leads to the smaller g_(m_max).According to the small-signal modeling,the device with the whole small recess toward drain exhibits an excellent RF characteristics,such as f_(T)=372 GHz and f_(max)=394 GHz.This result is achieved by paying attention to adjust resistive and capacitive parasitics,which play a key role in high-frequency response.

文摘This study investigates photonuclear reaction(γ,n)cross-sections using Bayesian neural network(BNN)analysis.After determining the optimal network architecture,which features two hidden layers,each with 50 hidden nodes,training was conducted for 30,000 iterations to ensure comprehensive data capture.By analyzing the distribution of absolute errors positively correlated with the cross-section for the isotope 159Tb,as well as the relative errors unrelated to the cross-section,we confirmed that the network effectively captured the data features without overfitting.Comparison with the TENDL-2021 Database demonstrated the BNN's reliability in fitting photonuclear cross-sections with lower average errors.The predictions for nuclei with single and double giant dipole resonance peak cross-sections,the accurate determination of the photoneutron reaction threshold in the low-energy region,and the precise description of trends in the high-energy cross-sections further demonstrate the network's generalization ability on the validation set.This can be attributed to the consistency of the training data.By using consistent training sets from different laboratories,Bayesian neural networks can predict nearby unknown cross-sections based on existing laboratory data,thereby estimating the potential differences between other laboratories'existing data and their own measurement results.Experimental measurements of photonuclear reactions on the newly constructed SLEGS beamline will contribute to clarifying the differences in cross-sections within the existing data.

文摘In this paper,we propose an RLC equivalent circuit model theory which can accurately predict the spectral response and resonance characteristics of metamaterial absorption structures,extend its design,and characterize the parameters of the model in detail.By employing this model,we conducted computations to characterize the response wavelength and bandwidth of variously sized metamaterial absorbers.A comparative analysis with Finite Difference Time Domain(FDTD)simulations demonstrated a remarkable level of consistency in the results.The designed absorbers were fabricated using micro-nano fabrication processes,and were experimentally tested to demonstrate absorption rates exceeding 90%at a wavelength of 9.28μm.The predicted results are then compared with test results.The comparison reveals good consistency in two aspects of the resonance responses,thereby confirming the rationality and accuracy of this model.

文摘Defects-rich heterointerfaces integrated with adjustable crystalline phases and atom vacancies,as well as veiled dielectric-responsive character,are instrumental in electromagnetic dissipation.Conventional methods,however,constrain their delicate constructions.Herein,an innovative alternative is proposed:carrageenan-assistant cations-regulated(CACR)strategy,which induces a series of sulfides nanoparticles rooted in situ on the surface of carbon matrix.This unique configuration originates from strategic vacancy formation energy of sulfides and strong sulfides-carbon support interaction,benefiting the delicate construction of defects-rich heterostructures in M_(x)S_(y)/carbon composites(M-CAs).Impressively,these generated sulfur vacancies are firstly found to strengthen electron accumulation/consumption ability at heterointerfaces and,simultaneously,induct local asymmetry of electronic structure to evoke large dipole moment,ultimately leading to polarization coupling,i.e.,defect-type interfacial polarization.Such“Janus effect”(Janus effect means versatility,as in the Greek two-headed Janus)of interfacial sulfur vacancies is intuitively confirmed by both theoretical and experimental investigations for the first time.Consequently,the sulfur vacancies-rich heterostructured Co/Ni-CAs displays broad absorption bandwidth of 6.76 GHz at only 1.8 mm,compared to sulfur vacancies-free CAs without any dielectric response.Harnessing defects-rich heterostructures,this one-pot CACR strategy may steer the design and development of advanced nanomaterials,boosting functionality across diverse application domains beyond electromagnetic response.

文摘Rapid diagnosis of Salmonella is crucial for the effective control of food safety incidents, especially in regions with poor hygiene conditions. Polymerase chain reaction(PCR), as a promising tool for Salmonella detection, is facing a lack of simple and fast sensing methods that are compatible with field applications in resource-limited areas. In this work, we developed a sensing approach to identify PCR-amplified Salmonella genomic DNA with the naked eye in a snapshot. Based on the ratiometric fiuorescence signals from SYBR Green Ⅰ and Hydroxyl naphthol blue, positive samples stood out from negative ones with a distinct color pattern under UV exposure. The proposed sensing scheme enabled highly specific identification of Salmonella with a detection limit at the single-copy level. Also, as a supplement to the intuitive naked-eye visualization results, numerical analysis of the colored images was available with a smartphone app to extract RGB values from colored images. This work provides a simple, rapid, and user-friendly solution for PCR identification, which promises great potential in molecular diagnosis of Salmonella and other pathogens in field.

文摘To enhance the denoising performance of event-based sensors,we introduce a clustering-based temporal deep neural network denoising method(CBTDNN).Firstly,to cluster the sensor output data and obtain the respective cluster centers,a combination of density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise(DBSCAN)and Kmeans++is utilized.Subsequently,long short-term memory(LSTM)is employed to fit and yield optimized cluster centers with temporal information.Lastly,based on the new cluster centers and denoising ratio,a radius threshold is set,and noise points beyond this threshold are removed.The comprehensive denoising metrics F1_score of CBTDNN have achieved 0.8931,0.7735,and 0.9215 on the traffic sequences dataset,pedestrian detection dataset,and turntable dataset,respectively.And these metrics demonstrate improvements of 49.90%,33.07%,19.31%,and 22.97%compared to four contrastive algorithms,namely nearest neighbor(NNb),nearest neighbor with polarity(NNp),Autoencoder,and multilayer perceptron denoising filter(MLPF).These results demonstrate that the proposed method enhances the denoising performance of event-based sensors.

文摘A novel near-infrared all-fiber mode monitor based on a mini-two-path Mach-Zehnder interferometer(MTP-MZI)is proposed.The MTP-MZI mode monitor is created by fusing a section of(no-core fiber,NCF)and a(single-mode fiber,SMF)together with an optical fiber fusion splicer,establishing two distinct centimeter-level optical transmission paths.Since the high-order modes in NCF transmit near-infrared light more sensitively to curvature-induced energy leakage than the fundamental mode in SMF,the near-infrared high-order mode light leaks out of NCF when the curvature changes,causing the MTP-MZI transmission spectrum to change.By ana⁃lyzing the relationship between the curvature,transmission spectrum,and spatial frequency spectrum,the modes involved in the interference can be studied,thereby revealing the mode transmission characteristics of near-infra⁃red light in optical fibers.In the verification experiments,higher-order modes were excited by inserting a novel hollow-core fiber(HCF)into the MTP-MZI.When the curvature of the MTP-MZI changes,the near-infrared light high-order mode introduced into the device leaks out,causing the transmission spectrum to return to its origi⁃nal state before bending and before the HCF was spliced.The experimental results demonstrate that the MTP-MZI mode monitor can monitor the fiber modes introduced from the external environment,providing both theoretical and experimental foundations for near-infrared all-fiber mode monitoring in optical information systems.

文摘To improve image quality under low illumination conditions,a novel low-light image enhancement method is proposed in this paper based on multi-illumination estimation and multi-scale fusion(MIMS).Firstly,the illumination is processed by contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization(CLAHE),adaptive complementary gamma function(ACG),and adaptive detail preserving S-curve(ADPS),respectively,to obtain three components.Then,the fusion-relevant features,exposure,and color contrast are selected as the weight maps.Subsequently,these components and weight maps are fused through multi-scale to generate enhanced illumination.Finally,the enhanced images are obtained by multiplying the enhanced illumination and reflectance.Compared with existing approaches,this proposed method achieves an average increase of 0.81%and 2.89%in the structural similarity index measurement(SSIM)and peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR),and a decrease of 6.17%and 32.61%in the natural image quality evaluator(NIQE)and gradient magnitude similarity deviation(GMSD),respectively.

文摘Effect of flip chip bonding parameters on microstructure at the interconnect interface and shear properties of 64.8Sn35.2Pb microbumps were investigated in this work.Results show that the main intermetallic compound(IMC)at the interconnect interface is(Ni,Cu)_(3)Sn_(4)phase,and meanwhile a small amount of(Cu,Ni)_(6)Sn_(5)phase with a size of 50−100 nm is formed around(Ni,Cu)_(3)Sn_(4)phase.The orientation relationship of[-1-56](Ni,Cu)_(3)Sn_(4)//[152](Cu,Ni)_(6)Sn_(5)and(601)(Ni,Cu)_(3)Sn_(4)//(-201)(Cu,Ni)_(6)Sn_(5)is found between these two phases,and the atomic matching at the interface of the two phases is low.The highest shear force of 77.3 gf is achieved in the 64.8Sn35.2Pb microbump at the peak temperature of 250℃and parameter V1 because dense IMCs and no cracks form at the interconnect interface.Two typical fracture modes of microbumps are determined as solder fracture and mixed fracture.The high thermal stress presenting in the thick IMCs layer induces crack initiation,and cracks propagate along theα/βphase boundaries in the Sn-Pb solder under shear force,leading to a mixed fracture mode in the microbumps.
