Ultra-Damping Composites Enhanced by Yolk–Shell Piezoelectric Damping Mechanism

High-performance damping materials are significant toward reducing vibration and maintaining stability for industrial applications. Herein, a yolk–shell piezoelectric damping mechanism is reported, which can enhance mechanical energy dissipation and improve damping capability. With the addition of yolk–shell particles and carbon nanotube (CNT) conductive network, damping properties of various resin matrices are enhanced with the energy dissipation path of mechanical to electrical to heat energy. Particularly, the peak loss factor of epoxy composites reaches 1.91 and tan δ area increases by 25.72% at 20 °C. The results prove the general applicability of yolk–shell piezoelectric damping mechanism. Besides, the novel damping materials also exhibit excellent flexibility, stretchability, and resilience, offering a promising application toward damping coating, indicating broad scope of application in transportation and sophisticated electronics, etc.     

Modulating Backbone Conjugation of Polymeric Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Emitters for High-Efficiency Blue OLEDs

Blue conjugated polymers-based OLEDs with both high efficiency and low efficiency roll-off are under big challenge. Herein, a strategy of local conjugation is proposed to construct high-efficiency blue-emitting conjugated polymers, in which the conjugation degree of polymeric backbones is adjusted by inserting different spacers. In this way, the energy level of triplet state and the energy transfer direction of the polymeric main-chains can be effectively regulated. Benefiting from such fine regulation, the prepared alternative copolymers Alt-PB36 with local conjugated main-chains can better suppress the accumulation of long-lived triplet excitons comparing with the complete conjugated polymers. The higher PLQY of Alt-PB36 also verifies the effective energy transfer from the polymeric main-chains to the TADF units. Accordingly, Alt-PB36 based solution-processed OLEDs achieve an EQE_max of 11.6% and a very low efficiency roll-off of 2.8% at 100 cd m⁻² and 15.2% at 500 cd m⁻². This result represents the best efficiency among blue light-emitting conjugated polymer-based OLEDs so far under high luminance.     

Frequency Offset Estimation Algorithm of High-Order M-APSK Modulation Signal Based on DFT

How to accurately compensate the Doppler shift is the main challenge for broadband satellite terminals. In this paper, a frequency offset estimation algorithm based on frequency domain window function iterative peaking search is proposed with high-order M-APSK signal models, considering both algorithm complexity and estimation accuracy. The variance of the new algorithm is derived mathematically, and performance curve compared with Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) is also simulated under various SNR (signal-to-noise ratio). The effectiveness of new method is verified by simulations.

     

Hausdorff measure of the level sets of multi-parameter wiener processes in one dimension

LetZ _N (t) be anN-parameter Wiener process in one dimension, and $$E(x,T) = \left\{ {t = (t_1 , \cdot \cdot \cdot ,t_N ):Z_N (t) = x,0 \leqslant t_1 , \cdot \cdot \cdot ,t_N \leqslant T} \right\}$$ . Then we obtain that with probability one, the Hausdorff measure function ofE(x,T) is $$\psi _N (r) = r^{N - \tfrac{1}{2}} (\log \log r^{ - 1} )^{\tfrac{1}{2}} ,\forall r \in (0,\frac{1}{4})$$ for anyx∈R ¹ andT>0.
