Design of diamond-shaped transient thermal cloaks with homogeneous isotropic materials

Transformation thermodynamics as a major extension of transformation optics has recently received considerable attention. In this paper, we present two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) diamond-shaped transient thermal cloaks with non-singular homogeneous material parameters. The absence of singularity in the parameters results from the fact that the linear coordinate transformation is performed by expanding a line segment rather than a point into a region, while the mechanism behind the homogeneity is the homogeneous stretching and compression along orthogonal directions during the transformation. Although the derived parameters remain anisotropic, we further show that this can be circumvented by considering a layered structure composed of only four types of isotropic materials based on the effective medium theory. Numerical simulation results confirm the good performance of the proposed cloaks.     

Orbital Angular Momentum Generation Using Circular Ring Resonators in Radio Frequency

Electromagnetic field generators based on circular ring resonators,whose perimeters are integer times of equivalent wavelength,are well known to have attractive potential for producing radio vortexes carrying orbital angular momentum(OAM).We study the radiation characteristics of the generators based on radiation vector and antenna array theory.The behaviors of radiation patterns,field intensity and phase distribution are investigated in detail,and show classical features of OAM beams.The evolution of the generators performance versus the OAM state is also analyzed.The proposed generators can be realized by all kinds of microwave transmission lines,verified by two different prototypes.The discussions and conclusions drawn in this study are useful and meaningful for the radio OAM generator design.

如何灵活地控制和操纵热流是目前研究的热点.本文根据变换热力学方法,导出了具有任意横截面形状热集中器的材料参数表达式,并在此基础上设计了具有圆形、椭圆形、正五边形等规则横截面形状的热集中器和具有共形、非共形任意横截面形状的热集中器.全波仿真结果表明,这些热集中器使等温线和热通量向其压缩区弯曲,靠近热源的一侧热扩散加快而相反的一侧热扩散减慢,在很小的区域内表现出对热量的集中作用,这一特点在热能工程中有潜在应用.此外,研究了圆柱形热集中器的层化实现方法.结果显示,热集中器可通过将同性材料沿角向分层交替填充来实现.这项工作对热集中器的设计及制备具有指导意义.     

Inverse design-based metamaterial transparent device and its multilayer realization

We propose an inverse method to determine the material parameters of a transparent device without any knowledge of the corresponding transformation function. The required parameters are independently obtained and expressed as functions of the introduced generator. Moreover, to remove the inhomogeneity and anisotropy of material parameters, a layered transparent device composed of only homogeneous and isotropic materials is presented based on the effective medium theory. The feasibility of using the layered device in antenna protection is also investigated. Full-wave simulation is carried out for verification. This work paves a new way toward designing metamaterial devices without specifying the underlying coordinate transformation, and has great guiding significance for the practical fabrication of transparent devices.     

气相色谱法测定电子烟烟液及气溶胶中双乙酰和乙酰丙酰

建立气相色谱法氢火焰离子化检测器测定电子烟烟液和气溶胶中双乙酰和乙酰丙酰含量的方法。样品以20 mL乙醇为萃取剂,涡旋振荡萃取10 min,采用气相色谱外标法进行定量分析。双乙酰和乙酰丙酰质量浓度在0.5~50 μg/mL范围内与色谱峰面积呈良好的线性关系,相关系数分别为0.999 6、0.999 4,方法检出限分别为0.044、0.052 μg/mL。烟液中双乙酰和乙酰丙酰测定结果的相对标准偏差为2.5%~4.3%(n=6),样品加标回收率为95.0%~102.5%;气溶胶中双乙酰和乙酰丙酰测定结果的相对标准偏差为3.1%~4.6%(n=6),样品加标回收率为92.7%~102.3%。气溶胶中双乙酰和乙酰丙酰理论浓度与实测浓度具有较强的相关性(对于双乙酰r~2=0.990 1,对于乙酰丙酰r~2=0.994 7),说明双乙酰、乙酰丙酰烟液通过雾化直接转移至气溶胶中。该方法准确度高,重现性好,检出限低,可满足电子烟样品的检测需求。     

Design of an optical device with three functions based on coordinate transformation

Based on two-step coordinate transformation along the radial direction, an optical device with three functions is proposed. The proposed device functions as a transparent device, a vision-enabling internal cloak, and a movement-allowing external cloak. The general expressions of material parameters for the optical device are determined, and each function of the device is confirmed using full-wave simulation. The effect of material loss on device performance is also investigated. Future applications for the proposed device include antenna protection and military stealth.

作为一种高效的热能收集与俘获技术,热集中器最近引起了研究者的关注.本文从热传导方程和坐标变换关系出发,导出了圆柱形热集中器温度分布的解析表达式,并通过与COMSOL数值仿真结果比较证实了表达式的正确性.分析了热集中器性能与材料各向异性和器件几何结构二者之间的联系,结果表明,包层热超材料的各向异性越大,集中器的热集中性能越好;包层与内核的半径比越大,集中器的热聚焦能力越强.利用包层与背景媒质之间的温度关系,进一步研究了用常规材料实现热集中器的方法,通过将两种常见的天然材料沿角向按周期交替排列并调整各自面积的大小,可观察到不同程度热集中现象.

基于变换热力学,导出了具有非共形任意横截面的柱形热斗篷热导率表达式,并在此基础上设计了具有非共形横截面的柱形热斗篷.全波仿真结果表明,热斗篷迫使外部热流绕过斗篷,导致隐身区域热通量为零,从而具有热保护功能;同时,热流绕过斗篷后将恢复原来的温度场分布,使其具有完美热隐身功能.此外,基于所导出的变换媒质热导率表达式,设计并求解了具有规则共形和非规则共形横截面的柱形热斗篷,发现它们同样具有热保护和完美热隐身功能.这表明通过选择适当的边界函数,所得变换媒质热导率表达式可用于设计任意横截面柱形热斗篷,具有普遍的适用性,这种技术在计算机芯片、卫星和航天器等的热保护中有潜在应用.
