文摘In recent decades,optical micro/nano manipulation has made remarkable strides in the fields of biology and the physical sciences,benefiting from both theoretical and experimental advances in optical forces.The emergence of optical torques has further enhanced the capabilities and possibilities of optical micro/nano manipulation,opening the door to exciting new applications.In this review,we delve into the fundamentals and recent breakthroughs in the realm of optical micro/nano manipulation using optical torques.We introduce the advancements in optical manipulation based on optical torques from engineered light fields and objects,and highlight the latest developments in applying optical torques to cutting-edge physical and biological scenarios,with a special emphasis on the detection and manipulation of biological structures.Finally,we conclude by outlining our vision for the current and future directions of this field,including the integration of optical torque and micro/nano technologies,the utilization of special light fields,and the development of deeplearning-assisted optical torque design.
文摘In this work,five kinds of crystals were successfully synthesized using the Czochralski method for the first time,namely Dy∶Ca_(3)Li_(0.275)Nb_(1.775)Ga_(2.95)O_(12)(CLNGG),Dy,Tb∶CLNGG,Dy,Eu∶CLNGG,Tb∶CLNGG,and Eu∶CLNGG.A detailed investigation of spectral features and energy transfer mechanisms in such crystals was conducted by analyzing their optical absorption spectra,excitation and emission spectra,and fluorescence decay curves at ambient tem-perature.Calculations based on the Judd-Ofelt theory further elucidated these features.The results demonstrate that in the Dy^(3+)system,co-doping with Tb^(3+)and Eu^(3+)ions not only enhances the emission cross-sections in the yellow wavelength re-gion but also improves the fluorescence quantum efficiency.These improvements are particularly beneficial for achieving efficient yellow light output from Dy^(3+).Additionally,the studies confirm the occurrence of reciprocal energy transfer be-tween Dy^(3+)and Tb^(3+)ions in Dy,Tb∶CLNGG crystals,whereas unidirectional energy transfer from Dy^(3+)to Eu^(3+)occurs in Dy,Eu∶CLNGG crystals.Based on the obtained research results,Dy,Tb∶CLNGG and Dy,Eu∶CLNGG crystals could be utilized as compelling and potential laser media for diode-pumped all-solid-state yellow lasers.

文摘A dual-band filtering push‒pull power amplifier(PA)with a large frequency ratio is presented in this paper.The proposed filtering power dividing/combining network is based on a hybrid-mode filtering balun using microstrip line(MSL)and substrate integrated waveguide(SIW).The MSL filtering balun operates in the S-band,with a frequency range of 2.6‒2.86 GHz.Meanwhile,the SIW filtering balun is designed for Ku-band operation,covering a frequency range of 13‒13.65 GHz.Under these conditions,the prototype is capable of attaining a frequency ratio as high as five times the original value.Due to the inherent differential characteristic of the hybrid-mode filtering balun with a large frequency ratio,the proposed push‒pull PA not only realizes filtering functionality but also achieves second-harmonic suppression.To validate the designed concept,the proposed prototype has been designed,fabricated,and measured.Measurement results demonstrate that the proposed PA achieves a 7 dB small-signal gain while maintaining out-of-band spurious rejection during active testing.The developed dual-band filtering push‒pull PA delivers excellent performance,with a peak output power of 36.8 dBm at low frequencies and 36 dBm at high frequencies.Moreover,by employing dual-band filtering baluns,the PA inherently suppresses even-order harmonics while simultaneously providing filtering characteristics in both operational bands,which effectively suppresses near-band spurious signals.

文摘The oxygen evolution reaction(OER)suffers from sluggish kinetics,necessitating efficient electrocatalysts to reduce overpotentials in water splitting.Currently recognized OER mechanisms primarily include the adsorbate evolution mechanism(AEM),lattice oxygen mechanism(LOM),and oxide path mechanism(OPM).Compared to AEM,limited by scaling relationships,and LOM,constrained by stability issues,the OPM offers a promising alternative by enabling direct O-O bond formation via dual active sites,thus bypassing^(*)OOH intermediates and lattice O involvement and achieving a balance between activity and durability.However,activating the OPM process requires precise control over the spatial and electronic structure of active sites,making the design of OPM-based catalysts challenging.While previous reviews have focused on homo/heteronuclear diatomic perspectives of OPM-based catalysts,it is urgent to systematically summarize design strategies to provide a rational reference for their development.Herein,a review of design strategies for OPM-based OER catalysts across three scales is comprehensively presented,including in-situ engineering,doping-enabled sites reconstruction,and introducing new sites for nanoparticles,direct synthesis or post-treatments for molecular catalysts,and doping or template strategies for atom pairs or arrays.The unique advantage of atom arrays is also highlighted,and their future research directions and possible strategies are discussed.This review provides a systematic summary and forward-looking perspectives for rationally designing high-performance OPM-based OER catalysts.

文摘Deep learning has made significant progress in the field of oriented object detection for remote sensing images.However,existing methods still face challenges when dealing with difficult tasks such as multi-scale targets,complex backgrounds,and small objects in remote sensing.Maintaining model lightweight to address resource constraints in remote sensing scenarios while improving task completion for remote sensing tasks remains a research hotspot.Therefore,we propose an enhanced multi-scale feature extraction lightweight network EM-YOLO based on the YOLOv8s architecture,specifically optimized for the characteristics of large target scale variations,diverse orientations,and numerous small objects in remote sensing images.Our innovations lie in two main aspects:First,a dynamic snake convolution(DSC)is introduced into the backbone network to enhance the model’s feature extraction capability for oriented targets.Second,an innovative focusing-diffusion module is designed in the feature fusion neck to effectively integrate multi-scale feature information.Finally,we introduce Layer-Adaptive Sparsity for magnitude-based Pruning(LASP)method to perform lightweight network pruning to better complete tasks in resource-constrained scenarios.Experimental results on the lightweight platform Orin demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms the original YOLOv8s model in oriented remote sensing object detection tasks,and achieves comparable or superior performance to state-of-the-art methods on three authoritative remote sensing datasets(DOTA v1.0,DOTA v1.5,and HRSC2016).

文摘During the oxygen evolution reaction(OER),reconstruction of transition metal sulfides(TMSs)is inevitable.However,the lack of a clear theoretical understanding of this process has impeded the development of effective reconstruction regulation strategies.In this study,we first explored the reconstruction mechanism of CoS_(2)during OER from the perspective of electronic structure and identified two possible pathways:the OH-assisted mechanism and the O-assisted mechanism.Further verification showed that these mechanisms are universally applicable to other TMSs(e.g.,FeS_(2)).Based on the reconstruction mechanism,we investigated the basic reasons for the influence of various regulation strategies,such as vacancy modification and facet engineering,on the reconstruction ability.This verified that the method of analyzing the change in the reconstruction ability of catalysts based on the reconstruction mechanism has a high degree of applicability.Importantly,we proposed a core regulation strategy:the coordination symmetry regulation strategy.Specifically,by breaking the symmetry of the surface coordination environment of TMSs(such as introducing heteroatom doping or strain),the reconstruction process will be facilitated.Our findings provide a comprehensive mechanistic explanation for the reconstruction of TMS catalysts and offer a new idea for the rational design of OER catalysts with controllable reconstruction capacity.

文摘Integrated sensing and communication(ISAC)is an appealing approach to address spectrum congestion and beamforming is an effective method to realize ISAC.In this paper,we investigate the beamforming design problem for multiple-input multipleoutput(MIMO)ISAC systems and propose to maximize the radar beampattern gain of the target direction while ensuring the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio(SINR)constraints of communication users.Particularly,we discuss two cases of ISAC transmit beamforming,i.e.,Case-Ⅰand Case-Ⅱ,which do not have and do have the dedicated probing signal,respectively.For these two cases of transmit beamforming design problems,we start from the single-user scenario and provide the closed-form solutions for MIMO ISAC beamforming vectors.Then,we consider the multiuser scenario and utilize the semidefinite relaxation technique to convert the beamforming design problems into convex semidefinite programming problems.Furthermore,we investigate the impact of the channel correlation between radar and communication on the performance gain of MIMO ISAC systems and characterize the performance tradeoff.Numerical results validate that the dedicated probing signal is unnecessary in the single-user scenario,whereas it has a slight improvement in target detection performance at low SINR thresholds in the multi-user scenario.It is also shown that the stronger the correlation between radar and communication channels,the greater the performance gain of the system.

文摘Head-up displays(HUDs)are emerging as key components of intelligent vehicles,requiring wide-depth,large-area,and high-efficiency dynamic imaging,which remains difficult to realize with traditional refractive optics.Computer-generated holography(CGH)with diffraction optics offers a promising solution to these technical demands.However,CGH optimization based on the fast Fourier transform(FFT)faces limitations such as zero-padding redundancy,coupled sampling intervals,and incompatible near-and farfield propagation models.Here,we report a holography-based multiplane HUD using a matrix multiplication(MM)-assisted diffraction algorithm that restructures the Fresnel integral into two sequential matrix operations,thus eliminating zero-padding and enabling fully decoupled sampling between object and image planes.Compared with FFT-based angular spectrum methods,the MM approach significantly improves computational speed and memory efficiency for hologram design,which is validated by demonstrating dual-plane holography with a size ratio exceeding 100:1 and unified reconstruction across Fresnel and Fraunhofer regimes within a single computation.A prototype HUD system is demonstrated successfully to exhibit multiple-plane holographic virtual images that can be mixed with real-world objects at three independent planes.The technique might be one of the potential candidates for next-generation intelligent vehicle displays.

文摘We investigate the effects of projectile material on high-speed penetration/perforation of Inconel 718 alloy(IN718)plates.High-speed ballistic impact tests are conducted on 2 mm-thickness IN718 plates with 5-mm-diameter stainless steel 304(SS304),Ti alloy TC4,and Al alloy AA1060 spherical projectiles.The impact processes are captured with high-speed photography.Optical and scanning electron microscopy and laser scan are conducted on recovered projectiles and targets.Finite element models of the ballistic impact are established based on the coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian algorithm with the Johnson-Cook constitutive model and failure criterion,and can well reproduce the experimental results.The experimental and simulated data related to projectile dynamics,and the geometries of postmortem projectiles and bullet holes are analyzed with phenomenological models.Projectile velocity evolution can be described with hydrodynamic models of penetration.Dimensional analysis reveals a universal relationship between the bullet hole expansion coefficient and the normalized dynamic pressure,regardless of the projectile material.However,the projectile material does affect projectile deformation,bullet hole size,and energy absorption of target.

文摘The growing global energy demand and worsening climate change highlight the urgent need for clean,efficient and sustainable energy solutions.Among emerging technologies,atomically thin two-dimensional(2D)materials offer unique advantages in photovoltaics due to their tunable optoelectronic properties,high surface area and efficient charge transport capabilities.This review explores recent progress in photovoltaics incorporating 2D materials,focusing on their application as hole and electron transport layers to optimize bandgap alignment,enhance carrier mobility and improve chemical stability.A comprehensive analysis is presented on perovskite solar cells utilizing 2D materials,with a particular focus on strategies to enhance crystallization,passivate defects and improve overall cell efficiency.Additionally,the application of 2D materials in organic solar cells is examined,particularly for reducing recombination losses and enhancing charge extraction through work function modification.Their impact on dye-sensitized solar cells,including catalytic activity and counter electrode performance,is also explored.Finally,the review outlines key challenges,material limitations and performance metrics,offering insight into the future development of nextgeneration photovoltaic devices encouraged by 2D materials.
文摘Structural vibrations in Tip-Tilt modes usually affect the closed-loop performance of astronomically optical telescopes.In this paper,the state of art control methods—proportional integral(PI)control,linear quadratic Gaussian(LQG)control,disturbance feed forward(DFF)control,and disturbance observer control(DOBC)of Tip-Tilt mirror to reject vibrations are first reviewed,and then compared systematically and comprehensively.Some mathematical transformations allow PI,LQG,DFF,and DOBC to be described in a uniform framework of sensitivity function that expresses their advantages and disadvantages.In essence,feed forward control based-inverse model is the main idea of current techniques,which is dependent on accuracies of models in terms of Tip-Tilt mirror and vibrations.DOBC can relax dependences on accuracy model,and therefore this survey concentrates on concise tutorials of this method with clear descriptions of their features in the control area of disturbance rejections.Its applications in various conditions are reviewed with emphasis on the effectiveness.Finally,the open problems,challenges and research prospects of DOBC of Tip-Tilt mirror are discussed.

文摘Near-field scanning optical microscopy is used to investigate the waveguiding properties of optical micro/nanofibres （MNFs） by means of detecting optical power carried by evanescent waves. Taper drawn silica and tellurite MNFs, supported on low-index substrates, are used to guide a 532-nm-wavelength light beam for the test. Modification of the single-mode condition of the MNF in the presence of a substrate is observed. Spatial modulation of the longitudinal field intensity （with a 195-nm period） near the output end of a 760-nm-diameter silica MNF is well resolved. Energy exchange through evanescent coupling between two parallel MNFs is also investigated.
