The measuring machine can simultaneously measure the geometrical dimensions, form and position errors of the inner and outer surfaces. Since the maximum length of the workpiece can reach 2 000 mm , it is difficult to be clamped and adjusted and easy to produce clamping error.

We mainly study the probe offset of the measuring machine and the influence of the workpiece clamping error on the measurement. A method of controlling the offset of the measuring probe is proposed. The effect of the clamping error is eliminated through the space coordinate transformation of the workpiece axis, and the axis is fitted by the least square method.

文摘The single-point bending method,based on atomic force microscopy(AFM),has been extensively validated for characterizing the structural mechanical properties of micro-and nanobeams.Nevertheless,the influence of AFM probe loading and positioning has yet to be subjected to comprehensive investigation.This paper proposes a novel bending-test method based on sequential loading points,in which a series of evenly distributed loads are applied along the length of the central axis on the upper surface of the cantilever.The preliminary measured values of Young’s modulus for an unknown alloy material were 193,178,and 176 GPa,exhibiting a considerable degree of dispersion.An algorithm for self-correction of the positioning error was developed,and this resulted in a positioning error of 53 nm and a final converged Young’s modulus of 161 GPa.

文摘Negatively charged boron vacancy(V_(B)^(-))spin defects are stable in nanoscale hexagonal boron nitride(hBN)flakes,which can be easily integrated into two-dimensional materials and devices to serve as both sensors and protective materials.Ion irradiation is frequently employed to create V_(B)^(-)spin defects in hBN.However,the optimal ion irradiation parameters remain unclear,even though they play a crucial role in determining the depth and density of the defects,which in turn affect sensing sensitivity.In this work,we optimize the carbon ion irradiation parameters for creating V_(B)^(-)spin defects by varying the irradiation dose and the incident angle.For 30 keV carbon ion irradiation,the optimal irradiation dose to create a V_(B)^(-)ensemble is determined to be 4×10^(13)ions/cm^(2),and both continuous and pulsed optically detected magnetic resonance measurements are used to estimate the magnetic sensitivity and spin coherence properties.Moreover,the incident angle of energetic ions is found to influence both the depth and density distributions of the V_(B)^(-)ensemble,a factor that is often overlooked.These results pave the way for improving the performance of quantum sensors based on hBN spin defects by optimizing the irradiation parameters.

文摘This paper uses an innovative improved artificial bee colony(IABC)algorithm to aid in the fabrication of a highly responsive phasemodulation surface plasmon resonance(SPR)biosensor.In this biosensor’s sensing structure,a double-layer Ag-Au metal film is combined with a blue phosphorene/transition metal dichalcogenide(BlueP/TMDC)hybrid structure and graphene.In the optimization function of the IABC method,the reflectivity at resonance angle is incorporated as a constraint to achieve high phase sensitivity.The performance of the Ag-Au-BlueP/TMDC-graphene heterostructure as optimized by the IABC method is compared with that of a similar structure optimized using the traditional ABC algorithm.The results indicate that optimization using the IABC method gives significantly more phase sensitivity,together with lower reflectivity,than can be achieved with the traditional ABC method.The highest phase sensitivity of 3.662×10^(6) °/RIU is achieved with a bilayer of BlueP/WS2 and three layers of graphene.Moreover,analysis of the electric field distribution demonstrates that the optimal arrangement can be utilized for enhanced detection of small biomolecules.Thus,given the exceptional sensitivity achieved,the proposed method based on the IABC algorithm has great promise for use in the design of high-performance SPR biosensors with a variety of multilayer structures.

文摘Gallium nitride(GaN),as a third-generation semiconductor,is highly attractive due to its exceptional physical and chemical properties.Laser direct writing offers an efficient method for the precise processing of hard and brittle materials.In this work,various types of surface microtexture were processed on GaN epilayers using a femtosecond laser with a wavelength of 1030 nm.The effects of the laser energy,singlepulse interval,number of pulses,and number of scan passes on groove machining were investigated with a view to achieving high-quality micromachining.The depth,width,surface morphology,and roughness of the grooves were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy,laser scanning confocal microscopy,and atomic force microscopy.Damage and stress were characterized at the microscale using Raman spectroscopy.High-quality precision machining of different types of periodic surface microtexture at 40 mW laser power was achieved by controlling the process parameters and laser trajectory.Finally,an initial exploration was conducted to examine vector-light-based microand nanostructure processing.The findings demonstrate the potential of femtosecond lasers for efficient micromachining of hard and brittle materials without the creation of heat-affected zones or microcracks.The high-quality textured structures achieved through this processing technique have broad and promising applications in optoelectronic devices and tribology.

文摘In conventional piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers(PMUTs),the backside acoustic energy is often used inefficiently,resulting in up to half of the energy being wasted.Vacuum encapsulation can improve the energy utilization efficiency,but this technique is not compatible with state-of-the-art devices such as cantilever-based PMUTs.A closed back cavity provides an alternative method for effectively utilizing the backside acoustic energy.This paper investigates the effects of a closed back cavity on PMUT performance through theoretical analysis,simulations,and experimental verification.Increasing the cavity depth produces a periodic modulation of several key PMUT metrics,such as the relative frequency deviation and quality factor.The optimal cavity depth for PMUTs that ensures a robust resonant frequency and high quality factor is defined as a function of the acoustic wavelength.A closed back cavity also provides an effective method for continuously tuning the quality factor,and thus the bandwidth,of PMUTs.This work paves the way for air-coupled PMUTs with adjustable performance for various applications.

文摘No-wash bioassays based on nanoparticles are used widely in biochemical procedures because of their responsive sensing and no need forwashing processes.Essential for no-wash biosensing are the interactions between nanoparticles and biomolecules,but it is challenging toachieve controlled bioconjugation of molecules on nanomaterials.Reported here is a way to actively improve nanoparticle-based no-washbioassays by enhancing the binding between biomolecules and gold nanoparticles via acoustic streaming generated by a gigahertz piezoelectricnanoelectromechanical resonator.Tunable micro-vortices are generated at the device-liquid interface,thereby accelerating the internalcirculating flow of the solution,bypassing the diffusion limitation,and thus improving the binding between the biomolecules and goldnanoparticles.Combined with fluorescence quenching,an enhanced and ultrafast no-wash biosensing assay is realized for specific proteins.The sensing method presented here is a versatile tool for different types of biomolecule detection with high efficiency and simplicity.

文摘Efficient exciton transport over long distances is crucial for organic optoelectronics.Despite efforts to improve the transport properties of organic semiconductors,the limited exciton diffusion remains a significant obstacle for light-harvesting applications.In this study,we observe phenomena where exciton transport is significantly enhanced by light irradiation in the organic molecular crystal of 2,2'-(2,5-bis(2,2-diphenylvinyl)-1,4-phenylene)dinaphthalene(BDVPN).The exciton transport in this material is improved,as evidenced by the increased diffusion coefficient from 10^(−3) cm^(2)·s^(−1) to over 1 cm^(2)·s^(−1) and a prolonged diffusion length from less than 50 nm to nearly 700 nm characterized by time-resolved photoluminescence microscopy(TPLM).Additionally,we confirmed the enhancement of charge transport capability under irradiation as additional evidence of improved transport properties of the material.These intriguing phenomena may be associated with the material’s twisted molecular conformation and rotatable single bonds,which facilitate light-induced structural alterations conducive to efficient transport properties.Our work provides a novel insight into developing organic semiconductors with efficient exciton transport.
