Mode analysis of trilaminar bender bar transducers using an approximation method

Based on the vibration theory of a thin plate, an analytical treatment of the trilaminar bender bar with piezoelectric elements and inert substrate of various lengths is presented for mode analysis. Resonance frequency and effective electromechanical coupling coefficient are calculated by this method. The impacts of the geometries of the bender bar on the performance of its fundamental and third-order flexural mode are investigated in detail under rigid boundary conditions. It is shown that resonance frequency is extremely sensitive to the thickness of inert substrate. Moreover, the effective electromechanical coupling coefficient has peaks as the length of piezoelectric elements varies. The peaks are achieved when the length of piezoelectric elements equals the length between two nodes having zero strains in the x-direction. The trilaminar bender bar will be effectively excited when the strains on the piezoelectric element are in the same phase, which is important to disclose the vibration mechanisms of this kind of transducer. Also, analytical results are compared with the ones of numerical simulation. The results suggest that effective electromechanical coupling coefficient shares similar patterns with electrical conductance, which can be used to characterize transducer performance to a certain extent. It also demonstrates that the analytical treatment provides an efficient alternative way for optimizing the bender bar transducer design.

Charging Quantum Batteries with a General Harmonic Driving Field

A general harmonic driving field was considered for improving the charging efficiency of the quantum battery system. Charge saturation was used to describe the charging efficiency, where the charging mode is divided into saturated and unsaturated. The relationships between the time-dependent charge saturation and parameters of the general driving field were evaluated both analytically and numerically. The Floquet theorem was used to express time-dependent charge saturation with the quasienergy and Floquet states of the system. The analytical and numerical results were used to identify the best parameter values for optimizing the charging efficiency.     

Vanadium-Catalyzed Synthesis of 4(3H)-Quinazolinones from Anthranilamides and Aryl Aldehydes

An efficient synthesis of 2-substituted and 2,3-disubstituted quinazolin-4(3H)-ones via tandem reaction of anthranilamides and aromatic aldehydes catalyzed by vanadyl acetylacetonate with 1 mol% loading under an air atmosphere is described. This new method is associated with several advantages such as low catalyst loading (only 1 mol%), use of green oxidant in the form of air, high atom economy, and good to excellent yields. A mechanism of vanadium-catalyzed synthesis of 4(3H)-quinazolinones has also been proposed.

Dynamic Spectrum for noninvasive blood component analysis and its advances

Noninvasive blood component analysis by spectroscopy has broad prospects that based on Dynamic Spectrum (DS) can effectively suppress the influences of individual differences (such as skin, muscle, fat) and the variations of measurement conditions, which shows its potential in the clinical applications. The purpose of this article is to review the starting point and the advances of DS, to assess the current situation of the field and to explore future directions. The principle of DS and the error sources of noninvasive blood component analysis were introduced. An overview of the six stages of noninvasive blood component analysis, including sensing principle, acquisition methods of spectral photoplethysmography (photoplethysmography signal at multiple wavelengths) signals, spectral photoplethysmography (SPPG) preprocessing, DS extraction methods from SPPG, the quality evaluation for DS and modeling methods, was presented. Finally, the existing issues of DS are discussed and the future directions are predicted.     

Synthesis and properties of a series of well-defined and polydisperse benzo[1,2-b:4,3-b']dithiophene oligomers

Monodisperse and polydisperse oligomers of benzo[1,2-b:4,3-b']dithiophene (BDT) (1-14), including three types of oligomers with different spacers combining BDT units (direct linkage, vinylene spacers, and ethynylene spacers), were synthesized, and their thermal, optical, and electrochemical properties were investigated. The oligomers were synthesized using Suzuki, Stille, Wittig, and Sonogashira coupling reactions. All of the monodisperse oligomers showed high melting points and 5% weight loss temperatures (T(d) > 400 degrees C). The fluorescence maxima of all oligomers were red-shifted, and the emission colors varied from blue to yellow as the chain lengths-and thus the conjugation lengths-increased. The vinylene-bridged oligomers emitted at longer wavelengths than the direct-linked and ethynylene-bridged oligomers. UV-vis absorption spectra in toluene solution indicated an effective conjugation length of about six BDT units for polydisperse oligomer 5. Cyclic voltammetry measurement indicated that tetramer 3 had high electrochemical stability. Although tetramer 3 and vinylene-bridged tetramer 8 exhibited reversible oxidation waves, ethynylene-bridged tetramer 13 showed an irreversible oxidation process. Each type of monodisperse oligomer exhibited higher HOMO levels with increasing chain length.     

Controlled Synthesis of a High-Mobility Bi3O2.5Se2 Semiconductor by Oxidation of Bi2Se3 for Fast and Highly Sensitive Photodetectors

The search of new high-mobility two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors is crucial for the development of next-generation photodetectors, since current photodetectors based on single 2D semiconductors usually cannot simultaneously own ultrafast response rate and ultrahigh sensitivity. Here, using a facial method of sequentially oxidizing Bi₂Se₃ at optimal O content, a series of bismuth oxyselenide semiconductors (Bi₃O_2.5Se₂, Bi₂O₂Se, Bi₂SeO₅) with appealing electronic applications are successfully synthesized. The crystal and band structures of a superlattice-free Bi₃O_2.5Se₂ phase are resolved by 3D electron diffraction and density functional theory calculations, showing a unique non-neutral layered structure, moderate band gap, and small effective mass. More importantly, the concept of Bi₂Se₃ + O₂ can be extended to synthesize the superlattice-free Bi₃O_2.5Se₂ ultrathin films by chemical vapor deposition, whose room-temperature mobility can be as high as ≈150 cm² V⁻¹ s⁻¹ based on Hall measurements. The ultrathin Bi₃O_2.5Se₂ photodetectors with a simple device configuration simultaneously own ultrafast response time (≈31 µs), ultrahigh responsivity (≈8 × 10⁴ A/W), and large detectivity (≈8 × 10¹³ Jones). This work not only introduces a facile way to regulate the phase in the bismuth oxyselenide family, but also provides an alternative candidate for ultrafast and ultrasensitive photodetectors.

Mengzao, and rutin, luteolin, luteolin-7-O-glucoside, kaempferol, quercetin, and apigenin are the major flavonoids in L. indica L. cv. Mengzao. In general, the total flavonoids’ content in different parts of L. indica L. cv. Mengzao followed the order flowers > leaves > stems > roots. Flowers and leaves are the main harvesting parts of L. indica L. cv. Mengzao, and the flowering period is the most suitable harvesting period. This study provides valuable information for the development and utilization of L. indica L. cv. Mengzao and determined the best part to harvest and the optimal time for harvesting.
