Modeling of trap-assisted tunneling on performance of charge trapping memory with consideration of trap position and energy level

In this work, the trap-assisted tunneling(TAT) mechanism is modeled as a two-step physical process for charge trapping memory(CTM). The influence of the TAT mechanism on CTM performance is investigated in consideration of various trap positions and energy levels. For the simulated CTM structure, simulation results indicate that the positions of oxide traps related to the maximum TAT current contribution shift towards the substrate interface and charge storage layer interface during time evolutions in programming and retention operations, respectively. Lower programming voltage and retention operations under higher temperature are found to be more sensitive to tunneling oxide degradation.     

Tunable acoustic radiation pattern assisted by effective impedance boundary

The acoustic wave propagation from a two-dimensional subwavelength slit surrounded by metal plates decorated with Helmholtz resonators(HRs) is investigated both numerically and experimentally in this work. Owing to the presence of HRs, the effective impedance of metal surface boundary can be manipulated. By optimizing the distribution of HRs,the asymmetric effective impedance boundary will be obtained, which contributes to generating tunable acoustic radiation pattern such as directional acoustic beaming. These dipole-like radiation patterns have high radiation efficiency, no fingerprint of sidelobes, and a wide tunable range of the radiation pattern directivity angle which can be steered by the spatial displacements of HRs.     

Novel Image Optimization Method for Joint Photoacoustic Tomography

The distribution of speed of sound （SOS） in biomedical tissue and delay compensation （DC） have significant impact on the image quality of photoacoustic tomography （PAT）. When imaging human peripheral joints, using fixed SOS and DC can only ensure that the reconstructed images are focused in a limited depth range, whereas they are defoeused at other depths, which cause severe artifacts and blurring. In this work, a linear-DC based reconstruction approach is proposed to focus the whole PAT image region. It is proved by two in vivo experiments that, compared with traditional delay-and-sum back projection algorithms, the proposed method can effectively optimize the image quality of articular tissues in PAT.

Non-invasive and low-artifact in vivo brain imaging by using a scanning acoustic-photoacoustic dual mode microscopy

Photoacoustic imaging is a potential candidate for in vivo brain imaging, whereas, its imaging performance could be degraded by inhomogeneous multi-layered media, consisted of scalp and skull. In this work, we propose a low-artifact photoacoustic microscopy (LAPAM) scheme, which combines conventional acoustic-resolution photoacoustic microscopy with scanning acoustic microscopy to suppress the reflection artifacts induced by multi-layers. Based on similar propagation characteristics of photoacoustic signals and ultrasonic echoes, the ultrasonic echoes can be employed as the filters to suppress the reflection artifacts to obtain low-artifact photoacoustic images. Phantom experiment is used to validate the effectiveness of this method. Furthermore, LAPAM is applied for in-vivo imaging mouse brain without removing the scalp and the skull. Experimental results show that the proposed method successfully achieves the low-artifact brain image, which demonstrates the practical applicability of LAPAM. This work might improve the photoacoustic imaging quality in many biomedical applications which involve tissues with complex acoustic properties, such as brain imaging through scalp and skull.

Low temperature testing and neutron irradiation of a swept charge device on board the HXMT satellite

We present the low temperature testing of an SCD detector, investigating its performance such as readout noise, energy resolution at 5.9 keV and dark current. The SCD's performance is closely related to temperature, and the temperature range of -80 ℃ to -50 ℃ is the best choice, where the FWHM at 5.9 keV is about 130 eV. The influence of the neutron irradiation from an electrostatic accelerator with fluence up to 1×10⁹ cm^-2 has been examined. We find the SCD is not vulnerable to neutron irradiation. The detailed operations of the SCD and the test results of low temperature are reported, and the results of neutron irradiation are discussed.     

Influence of limited-view scanning on depth imaging of photoacoustic tomography

We study the influence of limited-view scanning on the depth imaging of photoacoustic tomography.The situation,in which absorbers are located at different depths with respect to the limited-view scanning trajectory,is called depth imaging and is investigated in this paper.The results show that limited-view scanning causes the reconstructed intensity of deep absorbers to be weaker than that of shallow ones and that deep absorbers will be invisible if the scanning range is too small.The concept of effective scanning angle is proposed to analyse that phenomenon.We find that an effective scanning angle can well predict the relationship between scanning angle and the intensity ratio of absorbers.In addition,limited-view scanning is employed to improve image quality.
