Surface anchoring energy and the first order Fréedericksz transition of a NLC cell

Many authors have suggested new forms to describe the surface anchoring energy of the liquid crystal-wall interface, replacing the Rapini-Papoular (RP) formula g s = (1/2) A sin2 theta. If the RP function is considered as the primary approximation, and a lowest order modification is included, then the surface anchoring energy can be represented by g s = (1/2) A sin2 theta(1 + zeta sin2 theta). zeta characterizes the modification to the RP formula and varies for the different energy forms. It is well known that the RP formula predicts a second order Freedericksz transition. This paper points out that the transition can be first order if the modification is taken into account, in which case at the threshold point the tilt angle of the director at the middle layer of the cell, thetam, is finite. The conditions for the existence of the first order transition are obtained; zeta < 0 is required for a first order transition. The approximate expression of the threshold field is also given.

Synthesis and characterization of thermally crosslinkable hole‐transporting polymers for PLEDs

Two new thermally crosslinkable hole‐transporting polymers, X‐PTPA and X‐PCz, were synthesized via Yamamoto coupling reactions. The number‐averaged molecular weights (M_n) of X‐PTPA and X‐PCz were found to be 45,000 and 48,000, respectively, and therewith, polydispersity indices were of 1.8 and 1.7, respectively. Thermally crosslinked X‐PTPA and X‐PCz exhibit excellent solvent resistance and stable optoelectronic properties. The UV–visible maximum absorption peaks of X‐PTPA and X‐PCz in the thin film state are at 389 and 322 nm, respectively. The HOMO levels of X‐PTPA and X‐PCz are estimated to be ?5.27 and ?5.39 eV, respectively. Multilayered devices (ITO/crosslinked X‐PTPA or X‐PCz/SY‐PPV/LiF/Al) were fabricated with SY (SuperYellow) as the emitting layer. The maximum efficiency of the multilayered device with a crosslinked X‐PTPA layer is approximately three times higher than that of the device without a crosslinked X‐PTPA layer and much higher than that of the crosslinked X‐PCz device. This result can be explained by the observations that crosslinked X‐PTPA produces increased electron accumulation within the emitter, SY, and also efficient exciton formation due to improved charge balance. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Flexible active matrix addressed displays manufactured by printing and coating techniques

A flexible electrochromic active matrix addressed display, including 8 × 8 pixels, is demonstrated by using solution processing based on standard printing and coating manufacturing techniques. Each organic electrochromic display (OECD) pixel and its corresponding organic electrochemical transistor (OECT) are located on different sides of the flexible PET substrate. Electronic vias generated through the plastic substrate connects each OECD pixel with one addressing OECT. When comparing this display with actively addressed OECDs with all its components located on the same side, the present approach based on this electronic via substrate provides an enhanced pixel resolution and a relatively more simplified manufacturing process. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

盾构克泥效浆液成分与渗透扩散研究

克泥效工法常在盾构隧道近接既有建筑物穿越工程中被引进作为控制地层位移的一种辅助工法,克泥效浆液在地层的渗透扩散性对盾壳与地层间环向间隙填充效果有着重要影响,克泥效浆液的流变性能与其微观成分对其流动性有着重要影响。本文基于对克泥效浆液流变性能与微观成分分析,研究了浆液性能变化。进一步结合宾汉姆流体砂土渗流公式与数值计算模型,分析了浆液性能对渗透效果的具体影响,并验证数值模型可靠性与合理性。结果表明:(1)各组克泥效浆液样本在宾汉姆本构下的非线性回归系数均大于0.95,塑性黏度与屈服强度会随着水粉比的减小而增大。(2)克泥效浆液主要成分为石英、斜长石、伊利石、钾长石,随着A液水粉比的增加,克泥效水化产物斜长石增加,而伊利石的含量减小。(3)克泥效浆液会在25s左右占满环向间隙,而后再向地层中发生渗透扩散,地层中浆液体积分数增速随时间而减小,直至增速降为0。(4)随A液水粉比增大、地层渗透系数增加、注浆压力增加,克泥效在地层渗透距离均会增加。理论渗透值与数值模型计算值误差在各工况下的平均误差控制在10%以内。

考虑地质分层约束的长短期记忆循环神经网络测井曲线重构

延长油田东部裸眼井区早期测井资料普遍只有自然电位（SP）、自然伽马（GR）及梯度电阻率(R2.5)三条曲线,因缺失声波（AC）、地层电阻率（RT）等测井曲线,难以满足精细油藏地质研究需求。东部裸眼井区开发时间长、单井产量低,重新测井缺乏可行性及经济性。采用长短期记忆循环神经网络(Long Short-Term Memory,LSTM)进行缺失测井曲线重构是一种经济有效方法,适用于地层测井序列数据。然而延长油田东部浅层油藏上覆黄土层段测井数据信号干扰大,直接应用模型精度较差。针对此问题,本文采用考虑地质分层约束的LSTM模型进行缺失测井曲线的重构,通过分层数据截取每口井长6层段测井数据作为样本数据,既保留了LSTM模型处理序列数据的优势,同时又避免了上覆黄土层测井数据对模型的干扰。利用裸眼井区完整测井数据进行模型训练优化和验证,讨论了考虑地质分层约束的LSTM测井曲线重构精度,结果表明通过引入地质分层约束,模型重构测井曲线精度更高。应用优化后模型实现裸眼井区50口仅有GR、SP、R2.5三条曲线数据井的AC、RT曲线重构,对50口井的142个射孔段进行二次解释,对比试油解释结论符合率达到89.4%,验证了该方法对测井曲线重构的实用性和有效性。
