A broadband,polarisation-insensitive and wide-angle coplanar terahertz metamaterial absorber

Broadband terahertz metamaterial absorbers have attracted considerable attention due totheir significant potential for practical applications. These absorbers are usuallystacked in several differently shaped or sized subunits to form a unit cell, making theirfabrication quite troublesome. A simple design for broadband metamaterial absorbers istherefore urgently needed. Herein, we propose a coplanar broadband andpolarisation-insensitive perfect absorber formed by two patterned square metallic ringswith a dielectric layer on top of a metallic ground plane. The full width at half maximum(FWHM) of the device can be up to 42% (with respect to the central frequency), which is 2times greater than that of a single-layered structure. This property is retained well fora very wide range of incident angles. The two patterned square rings resonating atdifferent but similar frequencies leads to the broadband absorption. Moreover, ahybridised resonance model is proposed to analyse the origin of the resonance bandwidth.The results of this metamaterial absorber design appear to be very promising for solarcell, detection and imaging applications.     

A simple design of ultra-broadband and polarization insensitive terahertz metamaterial absorber

Ultra-broadband metamaterial absorbers have attracted considerable attention due to their great prospect for practical applications. These absorbers are usually stacked by many (no. <20) different shaped or sized subunits in a unit cell, making it quite troublesome to be fabricated. Simple design for ultra-broadband absorber is urgently necessary. Herein, we propose a simple design of ultra-broadband and polarization insensitive terahertz metamaterial absorber based on a double-layered composite structure on a metallic board, and each layer consists of two sets of different sized square metallic plates. Greater than 90 % absorption is obtained across a frequency range of 0.85 THz with the central frequency around 1.60 THz. The relative absorption bandwidth of the device is greatly improved to 53.3 %, which is much larger than previous results. The mechanism of the ultra-broadband absorber is attributed to the overlapping of four closely resonance frequencies. The proposed metamaterial absorber has potential applications in detection, imaging and stealth technology.

Experimental Study on the Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Metakaolin-Based Geopolymer Modified Clay

Clay is found in some countries all over the world. It usually has low compressive strength and cannot be used as a bearing material for subgrade soil. In this paper, the influence of basicity on a metakaolin-based polymer binder to improve clay was studied. The effects of the molar concentration of the alkali activator, different concentration of the metakaolin-based geopolymer and curing time on unconfined compressive strength were studied. The alkali activator-to-ash ratio was maintained at 0.7. The percentage of metakaolin added to the soil relative to metakaolin and soil mixture was 6%, 8%, 10% and 12%. The sodium hydroxide concentrations are 2M, 4M, 6M and 8M. Unconfined compressive strength (UCS) was tested on days 3, 7, 14 and 28, respectively. Compared with original clay, the results show that the unconfined compressive strength increases with the increase in metakaolin content and molar concentration of NaOH. The maximum compressive strength of the sample with NaOH concentration of 8M and percentage of 12% was 4109 kN on the 28th day, which is about 112% higher than that of the original clay. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) results showed that the cementing compound covered the clay particles due to the reaction of the geopolymer with the clay, resulting in the formation of adhesive particles. The main purpose of this study is to verify the effectiveness and stability of metakaolin-based geopolymer binder polymerization under normal temperature and a strong alkali environment. The results can provide parameters for the application and promotion of metakaolin-based geopolymers in soil improvement engineering.

Spatio-Temporal Dynamics of Entropy in EEGS during Music Stimulation of Alzheimer’s Disease Patients with Different Degrees of Dementia

Music has become a common adjunctive treatment for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in recent years. Because Alzheimer’s disease can be classified into different degrees of dementia according to its severity (mild, moderate, severe), this study is to investigate whether there are differences in brain response to music stimulation in AD patients with different degrees of dementia. Seventeen patients with mild-to-moderate dementia, sixteen patients with severe dementia, and sixteen healthy elderly participants were selected as experimental subjects. The nonlinear characteristics of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals were extracted from 64-channel EEG signals acquired before, during, and after music stimulation. The results showed the following. (1) At the temporal level, both at the whole brain area and sub-brain area levels, the EEG responses of the mild-to-moderate patients showed statistical differences from those of the severe patients (p < 0.05). The nonlinear characteristics during music stimulus, including permutation entropy (PmEn), sample entropy (SampEn), and Lempel–Ziv complexity (LZC), were significantly higher in both mild-to-moderate patients and healthy controls compared to pre-stimulation, while it was significantly lower in severe patients. (2) At the spatial level, the EEG responses of the mild-to-moderate patients and the severe patients showed statistical differences (p < 0.05), showing that as the degree of dementia progressed, fewer pairs of EEG characteristic showed significant differences among brain regions under music stimulation. In this paper, we found that AD patients with different degrees of dementia had different EEG responses to music stimulation. Our study provides a possible explanation for this discrepancy in terms of the pathological progression of AD and music cognitive hierarchy theory. Our study has adjunctive implications for clinical music therapy in AD., potentially allowing for more targeted treatment. Meanwhile, the variations in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients in response to music stimulation might be a model for investigating the neural mechanism of music perception.     

Flavanthrene derivatives as photostable and efficient singlet exciton fission materials

Singlet exciton fission (SF) is believed to have the potential to break the Shockley–Queisser limit for third-generation solar cell devices, so it has attracted great attention. Conventional linear acene based SF materials generally suffer from low triplet energy and poor photostability. We report herein two flavanthrene derivatives, EH-Fla and TIPS-Fla, as new photostable singlet exciton fission materials. These N-doped two-dimensional angular fused acenes have three sets of aromatic Clar sextets, making them significantly more stable than linear acenes with only one sextet. Time-resolved spectroscopy characterization reveals that the SF process occurs in the polycrystalline films of EH-Fla and TIPS-Fla, with maximal triplet yields of 32% and 159%, respectively. The SF processes of these two molecules are mediated by excimer states. In EH-Fla, the low-lying excimer prevents the SF process from occurring effectively, resulting in a low triplet yield. In contrast, the excimer state in TIPS-Fla is mixed with strong CT coupling, which prompts efficient SF and results in a high triplet yield. Our results show that flavanthrene is a promising SF chromophore for photoenergy conversion applications, while a fine-tune of the intermolecular interaction is crucial for achieving high SF efficiency.

Flavanthrene derivatives can be designed into highly efficient and photostable singlet fission materials, owning to the N-doped two-dimensional angular fused acene framework, which is promising for photo energy conversion applications.
