Reduction theorems for principal and classical connections

We prove general reduction theorems for gauge natural operators transforming principal connections and classical linear connections on the base manifold into sections of an arbitrary gauge natural bundle. Then we apply our results to the principal prolongation of connections. Finally we describe all such gauge natural operators for some special cases of a Lie group G.

基于吡嗪连接的石墨烯电极单分子场效应晶体管

In single-molecule junctions, anchoring groups that connect the central molecule to the electrodes have profound effects on the mechanical and electrical properties of devices. The mechanical strength of the anchoring groups affects the device stability, while their electronic coupling strength influences the junction conductance and the conduction polarity. To design and fabricate high-performance single-molecule devices with graphene electrodes, it is highly desirable to explore robust anchoring groups that bond the central molecule to the graphene electrodes. Condensation of ortho-phenylenediamine terminated molecules with ortho-quinone moieties at the edges of graphene generates graphene-conjugated pyrazine units that can be employed as anchoring groups for the construction of molecular junctions with graphene electrodes. In this study, we investigated the fabrication and electrical characterization of single-molecule field-effect transistors (FETs) with graphene as the electrodes, pyrazine as the anchoring groups, and a heavily doped silicon substrate as the back-gate electrode. Graphene nano-gaps were fabricated by a high-speed feedback-controlled electro-burning method, and their edges were fully oxidized; thus, there were many ortho-quinone moieties at the edges. After the deposition of phenazine molecules with ortho-phenylenediamine terminals at both ends, a large current increase was observed, indicating that molecular junctions were formed with covalent pyrazine anchoring groups. The yield of the single-molecule devices was as high as 26%, demonstrating the feasibility of pyrazine as an effective anchoring group for graphene electrodes. Our electrical measurements show that the ten fabricated devices exhibited a distinct gating effect when a back-gate voltage was applied. However, the gate dependence of the conductance varied considerably from device to device, and three types of different gate modulation behaviors, including p-type, ambipolar, and n-type conduction, were observed. Our observations can be understood using a modified single-level model that takes into account the linear dispersion of graphene near the Dirac point; the unique band structure of graphene and the coupling strength of pyrazine with the graphene electrode both crucially affect the conduction polarity of single-molecule FETs. When the coupling strength of pyrazine with the graphene electrode is weak, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the central molecule dominates charge transport. Depending on the gating efficiencies of the HOMO level and the graphene states, devices can exhibit p-type or ambipolar conduction. In contrast, when the coupling is strong, the redistribution of electrons around the central molecule and the graphene electrodes leads to a realignment of the molecular levels, resulting in the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO)-dominated n-type conduction. The high yield and versatility of the pyrazine anchoring groups are beneficial for the construction of single-molecule devices with graphene electrodes.     

钨/低活化钢钎焊用铁基非晶钎料与接头微结构

为了连接W和CLF-1 RAFM钢,设计出由低活化元素组成的Fe-B-Si、Fe-B-Si-Sn、Fe-B-Si-Cr-(Sn)、Fe-B-Si-P-(Cr,Sn)、Fe-B-Si-Mn-(Ga,Sn)和Fe-B-Si-(Cr,Mn,Ga,Ta,Sn)系列Fe基非晶钎料,结合熔体快淬技术制备出非晶合金箔带,并对W/CLF-1 RAFM钢接头微结构进行了对比研究。采用X-射线衍射仪对箔带样品与焊缝进行了相鉴定;通过差热分析测量了非晶箔带的熔化温度和液相线温度;利用光学金相和电子探针分析了焊缝组织形貌和元素分布。结果表明,利用Fe-B-Si、Fe-B-Si-Cr和Fe-B-Si-Mn-Sn非晶钎料可获得结构完整的W/CLF-1钢接头;前两种钎料得到的焊缝组织基体相为α-Fe固溶体,而含Mn钎料形成的焊缝基体为马氏体组织;在高温钎焊过程中,这些Fe基非晶钎料中的高B含量促使FeWB、FeW2B2和Fe3B型金属间化合物在焊缝中形成,并有效地阻止了W元素向低活化钢基体长程扩散。所设计的低活化Fe基非晶钎料可用于W和低活化钢的连接和接头性能研究。     

基于RFID无阻塞扫描控制的机器人室内定位设计

针对RFID移动机器人室内定位中的标签扫描问题,提出一种基于六边形分布模式的RFID无阻塞扫描控制方案,用于机器人的室内定位系统设计和误差检测。首先,将RFID标签根据六边形模式进行分布,减小位置估计的静态误差;然后,阅读器利用固定信道分配(FCA)方法给每个标签分配ID,使阅读范围内标签ID都不相同;最后,当阅读器读取信息时,发送查询请求给范围内的标签,标签根据自身ID决定应答时隙,避免冲突。实验结果表明,相比基于树的扫描控制方案,本文方案能够降低标签/阅读器的复杂度,同时具有较小的位置估计误差和扫描延迟,可帮助机器人实现精确定位。
