均匀磁场下碳离子笔形束的剂量变化分析及位置修正方法

分析外加均匀磁场对于碳离子笔形束剂量分布的影响,并考虑修正这种影响,为磁共振成像引导碳离子放射治疗的临床应用提供指导。本文利用蒙特卡罗方法模拟计算了不同能量碳离子笔形束在不同强度磁场下的剂量分布情况,发现垂直于碳离子束入射方向的均匀磁场对于碳离子笔形束射程缩短的影响很小,磁场对碳离子束的主要影响是引起束流横向偏转,特别是碳离子束布拉格峰位置的横向侧移。横向侧移程度与碳离子束的能量和磁场强度相关,根据模拟结果,得到了一个计算碳离子束布拉格峰在磁场中相对横向偏转的方程,并提出一种校正外加磁场引起的碳离子束布拉格峰横移的角度修正方法。这些结果可用于指导磁共振图像引导碳离子放射治疗计划系统的研发。     

采用组合引导磁场的多注二极管设计

分析了采用单一同轴磁场时强流相对论多注阴极的侧端发射问题,研究了在不同磁场内半径和多注漂移管长度情况下多注电子束的传输效率。研究发现：由于引导磁场尺寸有限,高压下多注阴极杆及多注阴极柱的电子束发射是影响多注电子束传输效率的主要因素,且该部分电子束对多注漂移管入口管壁的轰击直接影响了多注速调管的重频能力。设计了采用永磁铁和同轴磁场组合工作的强流相对论多注二极管,理论分析和模拟计算证明：基于组合磁场的多注二极管可明显减弱甚至抑制多注阴极发射球头以外的电子束发射,并且组合磁场的磁场位形和强度可满足强流相对论多注电子束的高效、稳定传输。

Second harmonic magnetoacoustic responses of magnetic nanoparticles in magnetoacoustic tomography with magnetic induction

Due to the unique magnetic, mechanical and thermal properties, magnetic nanoparticles(MNPs) have comprehensive applications as the contrast and therapeutic agents in biomedical imaging and magnetic hyperthermia. The linear and nonlinear magnetoacoustic responses determined by the magnetic properties of MNPs have attracted more and more attention in biomedical engineering. By considering the relaxation time of MNPs, we derive the formulae of second harmonic magnetoacoustic responses(2H-MARs) for a cylindrical MNP solution model based on the mechanical oscillations of MNPs in magnetoacoustic tomography with magnetic induction(MAT-MI). It is proved that only the second harmonic magnetoacoustic oscillations can be generated by MNPs under an alternating magnetic excitation. The acoustic pressure of the 2H-MAR is proportional to the square of the magnetic field intensity and exhibits a linear increase with the concentration of MNPs. Numerical simulations of the 2H-MAR are confirmed by the experimental measurements for various magnetic field intensities and solution concentrations using a laser vibrometer. The favorable results demonstrate the feasibility of the harmonic measurements without the fundamental interference of the electromagnetic excitation, and suggest a new harmonic imaging strategy of MAT-MI for MNPs with enhanced spatial resolution and improved signal-to-noise ratio in biomedical applications.     

Seeing the Unseen: Experimental Observation of Magnetic Anapole State Inside a High-Index Dielectric Particle

The existence of non-radiating electromagnetic sources attracts much attention in photonic community and gives rise to extensive discussions of various applications in lasing, medical imaging, sensing, and nonlinear optics. In this article, the existence of magnetic anapole states (or magnetic-type non-radiating sources) characterized by a suppressed magnetic dipole radiation in a dielectric cylindrical particle is theoretically predicted and experimentally demonstrated. The specific features of the magnetic anapole state under ideal conditions are identified, followed by a demonstration of how their existence can be detected in practical structures. The concept is valid in various frequency bands from visible range for nanoparticles to microwave range for millimeter size objects. The experimental study is performed in microwave frequency range which allows not only to measure the far-field (scattered field) characteristics, but also to probe the peculiar field profile directly inside the dielectric particle. The experimental results agree well with the analytical ones and pave the way to detect and identify nontrivial different-type anapole states.     

Evolution of Classical and Quantum States in the Groupoid Picture of Quantum Mechanics

The evolution of states of the composition of classical and quantum systems in the groupoid formalism for physical theories introduced recently is discussed. It is shown that the notion of a classical system, in the sense of Birkhoff and von Neumann, is equivalent, in the case of systems with a countable number of outputs, to a totally disconnected groupoid with Abelian von Neumann algebra. The impossibility of evolving a separable state of a composite system made up of a classical and a quantum one into an entangled state by means of a unitary evolution is proven in accordance with Raggio’s theorem, which is extended to include a new family of separable states corresponding to the composition of a system with a totally disconnected space of outcomes and a quantum one.     

An Improved Composite Multiscale Fuzzy Entropy for Feature Extraction of MI-EEG

Motor Imagery Electroencephalography (MI-EEG) has shown good prospects in neurorehabilitation, and the entropy-based nonlinear dynamic methods have been successfully applied to feature extraction of MI-EEG. Especially based on Multiscale Fuzzy Entropy (MFE), the fuzzy entropies of the τ coarse-grained sequences in τ scale are calculated and averaged to develop the Composite MFE (CMFE) with more feature information. However, the coarse-grained process fails to match the nonstationary characteristic of MI-EEG by a mean filtering algorithm. In this paper, CMFE is improved by assigning the different weight factors to the different sample points in the coarse-grained process, i.e., using the weighted mean filters instead of the original mean filters, which is conductive to signal filtering and feature extraction, and the resulting personalized Weighted CMFE (WCMFE) is more suitable to represent the nonstationary MI-EEG for different subjects. All the WCMFEs of multi-channel MI-EEG are fused in serial to construct the feature vector, which is evaluated by a back-propagation neural network. Based on a public dataset, extensive experiments are conducted, yielding a relatively higher classification accuracy by WCMFE, and the statistical significance is examined by two-sample t-test. The results suggest that WCMFE is superior to the other entropy-based and traditional feature extraction methods.     

Magnetocaloric properties in a FeNiGaMnSi high entropy alloy

We investigated a new Fe_26.7Ni_26.7Ga_15.6Mn₂₀Si₁₁ high entropy alloy (HEA) without the rare earth element. The structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of the resulting materials are presented. The HEAs successfully is produced by the arc melting with suction casting method. The crystal structures are characterised through multiphase Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction data. The structure of the HEAs was found to be the body centred cubic (bcc). In the magnetic measurements, the ferromagnetic to paramagnetic transition was obtained in the range of 300–400 K. With the employed suction casting method; the Fe_26.7Ni_26.7Ga_15.6Mn₂₀Si₁₁ HEA shows the best magnetocaloric properties as 1.59 Jkg⁻¹K⁻¹ maximum magnetic entropy change (0–2 T) and 75.68 Jkg^-1 refrigeration capacity after the annealing process.     

利用相位步进脉冲消除探头13C NMR背景信号

由静态探头线圈外有机材料产生的¹³C NMR背景信号强度大,化学位移范围广（δ_C 20~250）,此背景信号在交叉极化实验中还可被增强,并随着样品信号的累积而累积,严重影响谱图分析.将相位步进脉冲引入交叉极化实验（称为PIPCP）中可以有效去除经交叉极化增强的¹³C NMR背景信号,但样品信号不受影响.这是由于经过相位步进脉冲后,线圈外相位严重畸变,而且线圈外锁定场强度急剧降低,来自探头材料的¹³C NMR背景信号无法有效地进行交叉极化.而对于被测样品甘氨酸来说,由于I核和S核之间强烈的偶极耦合作用,所加相位步进脉冲对锁定场强度的影响只有1.4%.
