A relaxation times coupling method to construct acoustic relaxation calibration for two-frequency measuring gas compositions

In our previous work (Hu et al., 2014), a method has been proposed to detect gas compositions by locating the acoustic spectral peaks, which can be detected only by two-frequency acoustic measurements in practice. However, as a ‘Detection Calibration’, the effective relaxation area (ERA) constructed by existing theoretical model cannot match the two-frequency measurements when there are more than one strong relaxational components in gas mixtures. This paper proposes a method to construct the ERA by coupling the decoupled single relaxation times together to a whole relaxation time. For gas mixtures with only one single relaxation process, the predicted ERA results match with the experimental data better than those predicted by the existing model. Moreover, for gas mixtures in which more than one relaxation process are significant, the ERA results predicted by the proposed method also match with the detection results of two-frequency measurements better than the existing model. This relaxation time coupling based ERA constructing method is validated by the application in low-quality natural gas detection.     

结合小波分析法与导数光声光谱技术测量弱光谱信号的实验研究

结合导数光声光谱技术与小波分析方法,精确测量了光声光谱中的弱光谱信号.首先利用自己设计的仪器装置实现光声光谱的一阶导数,在此基础上,根据导数光声光谱的数据选择合理的分析小波,将光声光谱信号分解为不同频率信号的叠加,被分解的信号满足线性性质且原信号的峰值信息保持不变,由频率的差异可区分出光声信号和噪声信号,从而提取出光声光谱中的弱光谱信号.结合物理方法与软件方法的分析结果,准确地测量了氙灯的输出光声光谱中3个不明显的弱峰值,位置分别为699.7nm、753.4nm和776.5nm.该方法可以更准确地提取出光声光谱的峰值信息,有效地提高了光声光谱的测量精度,为光声光谱分析法在生物医学及化学分析中的应用提供了一种更精确的分析方法.     

Nonclassicality and Decoherence of Photon-added Thermo-invariant Coherent State

By introducing a kind of new quantum state—Photon-added thermo invariant coherent state (PATCS), we discuss its nonclassicality in terms of the negativity of Wigner function (WF) after deriving its analytical expression. It is found that the Wigner function is related to Lagurre-Gaussian function. We then study the effect of decoherence (a thermal environment) on the PATCS according to its WF (also related to Lagurre-Gaussian function). It is shown that it is not possible for WF to present the negative region when the decay time $\kappa t>\frac{1}{2}\ln \frac{2\bar{n}+2}{2\bar{n}+1}$\kappa t>\frac{1}{2}\ln \frac{2\bar{n}+2}{2\bar{n}+1} .     

蚜虫胁迫下棉叶光谱特征及其遥感估测

在棉蚜危害棉花的主要生育期测试蚜害后不同严重度叶片的理化参数和光谱,分析并比较了不同时期、不同品种蚜害棉叶理化参数和光谱反射率特征,确定了蚜害棉叶光谱敏感波段,建立了蚜害棉叶严重度估测模型。结果表明:蚜害棉叶的理化参数和光谱特征明显,蚜害棉叶平均厚度,含水量,温度和叶片CHL.b均增加,叶片而平均CHL.a,CHL.a+b和Cars含量减少。不同时期、不同品种蚜害棉叶光谱反射率在可见光均表现先升后降的特征,但不同品种蚜害棉叶在近红外波段反射率不同。434～727和648nm可分别作为蚜害棉叶的光谱敏感波段和最佳波段。基于敏感波段建立的蚜害棉叶遥感估测模型均达到显著相关,其中以(R1589-R648)/(R1589+R648)为自变量建立的估算模型精度最高,相对误差最小(0.128),可作为蚜害棉叶严重度最佳识别模型。该研究为遥感大面积监测棉花蚜虫提供了理论依据及参考。     

Experimental study of whistle noise generated by insert edge and oil separator model of refrigeration cycle

The compressed air experiments are conducted to investigate the whistle noise radiated from the oil separator component of refrigerant cycle system. Two types of insert edge and a height-adjustable oil separator model are adopted. The acoustic characteristic of flow through plain top insert edge is more likely to be broadband. Flow through ramp top insert edge would induce whistle peaks at Mach number higher than 0.1197 and the oil separator model works like an acoustic amplifier. Moreover, the Strouhal number jumps are captured inside oil separator model and two mechanisms are presented to clarify the phenomena. First, the whistle noise at Modes A1, A3, B1 and B3 is regarded as coupling of shear layer instability with resonance acoustic modes of oil separator model. Second, the whistle noise at Modes A2 and B2 is regarded to be the feedback loop of flow-acoustic interaction in fluctuated shear layer and defined as jet-cavity interaction tones.

Bessel solitary wave solutions to a two-dimensional strongly nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation with distributed coefficients are obtained. Bessel solitary wave solutions have unique characteristics compared with Gaussian solitary wave solutions, Laguerre-Gaussian solitary wave solutions, and Hermite-Gaussian solitary wave solutions. The generalized two-dimensional nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation with distributed coefficients is investigated for the first time to our knowledge.     

Geometric phase and quantum phase transition in the one-dimensional compass model

We study the geometric phase of the ground state of the one-dimensional compass model in a transverse field. The critical properties of the system in terms of the geometric phase are calculated and discussed. The results show that the general character of quantum phase transitions (QPTs) in the model can be revealed by the Berry phase of the ground state. This study extends the relations between geometric phases and QPTs.

Layered lithium-rich oxide nanoparticles: low-temperature synthesis in mixed molten salt and excellent performance as cathode of lithium-ion battery

Layered lithium-rich oxide, 0.5Li₂MnO₃·0.5LiMn_1/3Ni_1/3Co_1/3O₂, is synthesized in a mixed molten salt of KCl and LiCl under 750 °C. Its morphology and structure are characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and nitrogen adsorption and desorption isotherm, and its performances as cathode of lithium-ion battery are investigated by charge–discharge test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, with a comparison of the samples synthesized via solid-state reaction. It is found that the resulting product consists of uniform nanoparticles, 50 nm in average, which possesses a well crystallite layered structure although its synthesis temperature is low and thus exhibits excellent cyclic stability and rate capability. The resulting product delivers an initial discharge capacity of 268 mAh g^?1 at 0.1 C and has a capacity retention of 82% after 100 cycles at 1 C, compared to the 243 mAh g^?1 and 73% for the sample synthesized by solid-state reaction under 900 °C.     

The effect of doping by IV-family elements on the electronic structure and electrical characteristics of Sb2O5

The electronic structures of doped Sb₂O₅ by IV-family elements (Si, Ge and Sn) were examined using the density function theory (DFT). Density of states (DOSs) results showed that the substituted IV-family elements act as acceptors in Sb₂O₅. Partial DOSs indicates that by substituting Ge(Ge _Sb ) or Sn(Sn _Sb ), there may be a larger contribution to the total DOSs near E _F than by substituting Si, which suggests that doping Ge or Sn in Sb₂O₅ produces better ptype doping compared to doping Si. Formation energy results show that IV-family elements are more likely to exist in the substituted position rather than in the interstitial position in Sb₂O₅, decreasing any self-compensation effect and making it easier for IV-family elements to realize ptype doping in Sb₂O₅. Ionization energy results show that Ge _Sb or SnSb, two among the three impurities considered, act as shallow acceptors in Sb₂O₅, thus producing a higher concentration of holes.
