聚谷氨酸发酵过程中ATR-FTIR光谱信号的分数阶基线校正

采用衰减全反射傅里叶变换红外光谱法（ATR-FTIR）,结合多元校正模型对γ-聚谷氨酸（γ-PGA）发酵过程中两种主要底物葡萄糖和谷氨酸钠的浓度进行间接测量,为优化发酵系统控制提供重要的反馈信息。光谱测量中经常出现的基线漂移会严重影响后续多元校正模型的性能,需要采用基线校正算法对光谱进行预处理。现有流行的基线校正算法多数是基于Whittaker Smoother（WS）平滑算法,这些算法均采用整数阶微分对拟合基线进行约束,表达能力有限。针对现有基线校正算法中的整数阶微分自适应性差的问题,利用更加灵活的分数阶微分对基线进行约束,提出了一种基于分数阶的基线校正算法,实现对整数阶基线校正的扩展。总共进行了5个批次的γ-PGA发酵实验,并对不同批次和全部批次的ATR-FTIR光谱数据分别进行了分数阶基线校正,模型的预测精度均得到不同程度的提升。实验结果表明,只有在批次2时,基于整数阶的基线校正效果最好;其他批次的基线校正效果最好时的阶次均为分数阶。这也表明了分数阶微分（包含整数阶微分）对基线的约束更加合理。同时发现全部批次的整体基线校正效果远远差于单一批次的效果,原因可能是各批次发酵光谱的基线是不同的,对不同的批次需要选用不同的阶次以获得最佳的基线校正。此外,γ-PGA发酵样品的ATR-FTIR光谱测量是以蒸馏水为背景,会在3 100~3 600 cm-1波数范围内出现负水峰,形成有害的干扰信号;分数阶基线校正后的光谱表明,分数阶基线校正算法将负的水峰当作基线,在一定程度上进行了消除。综上分析,分数阶基线校正算法不仅扩展了传统整数阶基线校正算法的应用范围,也为消除ATR光谱中负的水峰提供了新的解决思路。     

深度神经网络和高光谱显微图像的二维材料纳米片识别

近年来,二维材料由于其独特的性质而受到了广泛关注。在制备二维层状晶体的各种方法中,机械剥离法获得的薄层二维材料晶体质量高,适用于基础研究及性能演示。然而用机械剥离法从衬底上获得的材料具有一定的随机性,可能包含了少许相对较厚的部分。实现对这些二维薄层材料有效、快速且智能化的表征有利于促进二维材料性能的进一步研究。提出了一种基于深度学习的表征方法,通过搭建的编解码结构的卷积神经网络语义分割算法,可以根据光学显微镜图像进行分割和快速识别二维材料纳米片。卷积神经网络作为深度学习在图像处理领域中的典型算法,能够对光学显微镜图像中的复杂信息进行特征提取。首先采用机械剥离制备MoS₂纳米片样本,通过光学显微镜采集高光谱图像并对样本进行标记,根据样本的厚度范围标记出不同的区域,对标记后的图像进一步处理,包括图像的颜色校准和剪切操作,得到用于网络训练和测试的数据集。针对光学图像中二维纳米薄片存在的低对比度、碎裂等特点,编码时加入残差结构和金字塔池化模型,有助于特征信息的提取;解码时融合编码路径中提取的浅层特征信息,以提高网络分割精度。实验中采用带权重的交叉熵损失函数解决类别数量不平衡问题和采用数据增强扩大数据集。对训练后的网络测试结果表明,模型像素精度为97.38%,平均像素精度为90.38%,均交并比为75.86%。之后通过迁移学习成功地对剥离的单层和双层石墨烯纳米片样本进行了识别,均交并比达到了81.63%,表明该方法具有普适性。通过MoS₂和石墨烯纳米片的识别演示,实现了深度学习在二维材料的光学显微镜图像中的成功应用。该方法有望在更多的二维材料上得到扩展并突破自动动态处理光学显微镜图像的问题,同时为其他纳米材料的高光谱图像处理提供参考。     

Majorana zero modes,unconventional real-complex transition,and mobility edges in a one-dimensional non-Hermitian quasi-periodic lattice

A one-dimensional non-Hermitian quasiperiodic p-wave superconductor without PT-symmetry is studied.By analyzing the spectrum,we discovered that there still exists real-complex energy transition even if the inexistence of PT-symmetry breaking.By the inverse participation ratio,we constructed such a correspondence that pure real energies correspond to the extended states and complex energies correspond to the localized states,and this correspondence is precise and effective to detect the mobility edges.After investigating the topological properties,we arrived at a fact that the Majorana zero modes in this system are immune to the non-Hermiticity.     

High-energy picosecond single-pass multi-stage optical parametric generator and amplifier

We demonstrate a new management of multi-stage optical parametric generator(OPG)and amplifier(OPA)to obtain high-energy picosecond sources with high beam quality.The setup of multi-stage OPG-OPA requires mode-matching between the pump beam and the stable mode of the OPG-OPA.In a proof-of-principle experiment,the single-pass multi-stage OPG-OPA consists of three walk-off compensated KTP crystal pairs and two lenses,pumped by an 86 ps,1064 nm 10 kHz picosecond laser.The signal light at~1.77μm has an average output power of 502 mW with record energy up to 50.2μJ.The beam quality factor of the signal light can be improved toM²_x ×M²_yafter filtering out about 40%signal power.To the best of our knowledge,it is the first picosecond single-pass multi-stage OPG-OPA pumped at kHz regime.     

Pressure dependence of the thermal stability in LiMn2O4

Structural stability in terms of the decomposition temperature in LiMn₂O₄ was systematically investigated by a series of high-temperature and high-pressure experiments.LiMn₂O₄ was found to have structural stability up to 5 GPa at room temperature.Under ambient pressure,the compound decomposed at 1300℃.The decomposition temperature decreased with increasing pressure,yielding more complex decomposed products.Below the decomposition temperature,the crystal structure of LiMn₂O₄ varied with pressure.The presented results in this study offer new insights into the thermal and pressure stability of LiMn₂O₄ materials as a cathode for lithium-ion batteries that can operate under extreme conditions.Therefore,these findings may serve as a useful guide for future work for improving lithium-ion batteries.     

Magnetic polaron-related optical properties in Ni(Ⅱ)-doped Cd S nanobelts: Implication for spin nanophotonic devices

Emissions by magnetic polarons and spin-coupled d-d transitions in diluted magnetic semiconductors(DMSs)have become a popular research field due to their unusual optical behaviors.In this work,high-quality NiI₂(Ⅱ)-doped CdS nanobelts are synthesized via chemical vapor deposition(CVD),and then characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),x-ray diffraction,x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),and Raman scattering.At low temperatures,the photoluminescence(PL)spectra of the Ni-doped nanobelts demonstrate three peaks near the band edge:the free exciton(FX)peak,the exciton magnetic polaron(EMP)peak out of ferromagnetically coupled spins coupled with FXs,and a small higher-energy peak from the interaction of antiferromagnetic coupled Ni pairs and FXs,called antiferromagnetic magnetic polarons(AMPs).With a higher Ni doping concentration,in addition to the d-d transitions of single Ni ions at 620 nm and 760 nm,two other PL peaks appear at 530 nm and 685 nm,attributed to another EMP emission and the d-d transitions of the antiferromagnetic coupled Ni²⁺-Ni²⁺pair,respectively.Furthermore,single-mode lasing at the first EMP is excited by a femtosecond laser pulse,proving a coherent bosonic lasing of the EMP condensate out of complicated states.These results show that the coupled spins play an important role in forming magnetic polaron and implementing related optical responses.

流动微泡群瞬态空化强度时域分布的比例反馈调节*

声波、血流环境及流动微泡群的稳定性都会影响焦区内瞬态空化强度(ICI)在超声作用时间内的分布,从而影响基于瞬态空化的治疗效率和生物安全性。本文在搭建仿体中流动微泡群瞬态空化发生和实时测量系统的基础上,设计了基于LabView FPGA的比例反馈控制器,在保持脉冲重复频率和脉冲长度不变的条件下,通过选择适当的比例系数,依据当前周期的声波激励下实时测量的ICI,实时调节下一周期声波信号的峰值负压,以调控ICI在时间上的分布。研究表明,在最优比例系数(1 × 107)下,和开环系统相比,ICI的稳定率提升~2.31 倍,ICI的时域下降速率减小~94.41%;在超声作用时间内总ICI也基本达到期望水平。这些结果表明该比例反馈控制器在调控脉冲超声激励下流动微泡群ICI时域分布的有效性,有望改进瞬态空化在相关疾病治疗中的效率和安全性。     

In situ investigation of synchrotron radiation damage effect of ancient paintings by time-resolved ED-XAS and IR combined techniques

Advanced synchrotron radiation light is a powerful tool for archaeometry research. However, its applications to precious cultural relics, especially for color painting, have been hindered to some degree due to potential X-ray radiation damage. Compared to inorganic mineral pigments, organic binders in the painting are easier to be damaged by synchrotron radiation X-ray beam. The radiation damage effect of two typical painting samples, pure rabbit skin glue and the mixed sample of rabbit skin glue and zinc white, has been investigated by in situ time-resolved ED-XAS and IR combined techniques. The results show that the radiation damage effect of pure rabbit skin glue is more serious at low X-ray energy (7775 eV). The radiation damage effect of the mixed sample increases significantly due to more X-ray absorption by inorganic pigments. Furthermore, the radiation damage is more serious at the energy near Zn K-edge and is somewhat slight at higher energy (13,054 eV). These damages are more obvious from the point of view of protein secondary structures. The irradiation damage effects increase more rapidly at the beginning and are not linear with the irradiating time. The results indicate that synchrotron radiation damage can be reduced effectively by using X-ray energy far away from the X-ray absorption edge of the major element in the pigments during XRF, XRD and CT experiments, or by using time-resolved techniques such as QXAFS and ED-XAS during XAFS experiments.
