Synthesis and properties of 1,1′-bis(diacetylene-group) connected ferrocene-thiophene derivative: a cooperatively functional behavior of diacetylene-group connected constituents

An extended π-electronic conjugation system of 1,1′-bis(diacetylene-group) connected ferrocene-thiophene derivative has been synthesized, with our integrated reaction between the corresponding TMS-protected acetylenes in one-pot. Its electronic properties have been examined, suggesting a cooperatively functional behavior of the diacetylene-group connected constituents.     

Modelling of optical Kerr effects on the static and dynamic behaviors of quantum cascade laser

The effect of optical Kerr nonlinearity on the static and dynamic behaviors of quantum cascade laser operating in the mid-infrared is theoretically investigated. Our model is based on three-level rate equations including the dependence of the loss on photon number in the cavity. The optical stability domain that allows for the determination of current injection is derived within the premises of our model. The analytical solutions of eigenvalue equation allowing the investigation of stability analysis are obtained. Furthermore, nonlinear effects influence significantly the dynamics of photons in cavity and electrons in the upper laser level.     

Using a multi-layered transducer model to estimate the properties of paraffin wax deposited on steel

When using ultrasound for detecting low impedance materials on the surface of high impedance materials, a major challenge is the contrast difference between the strong reverberations from the high impedance material and the weak echoes received from the low impedance material. The purpose of this work is to present the theoretical and experimental validation of an ultrasonic methodology for estimating the acoustical properties of paraffin wax on the surface of steel. The method is based on modeling and inversion of the complete electro-acoustic channel from the transmitted voltage over the active piezoelectric element, to the received voltage resulting from the acoustic reverberations in the multilayered structure. In the current work, two conceptually different models of the same multi-layer transducer structure attached to steel is developed and compared with measurements. A method is then suggested for suppressing the strong reverberations in steel, hence isolating the wax signals. This contrast enhancement method is fitted to the model of the structure, facilitating parameter inversion from the wax layer. The results show that the models agree well with measurements and that up to three parameters (travel time, impedance and attenuation) can be inverted from the wax simultaneously. Hence, given one of the three parameters, density, sound speed or thickness, the other two can be estimated in addition to the attenuation.     

Characterization of mechanical and geometrical properties of a tube with axial and circumferential guided waves

Guided waves propagating in cylindrical tubes are frequently applied for the characterization of material or geometrical properties of tubes. In a tube, guided waves can propagate in the axial direction and called axial guided waves, or in the circumferential direction called circumferential guided waves. Dispersion spectra for the axial and circumferential guided waves share some common behaviors and however exhibit some particular behaviors of their own. This study provides an investigation with theoretical modeling, experimental measurements, and a simplex-based inversion procedure to explore the similarity and difference between the axial guided waves and circumferential guided waves, aiming at providing useful information while axial and circumferential guided waves are applied in the area of material characterization. The sensitivity to the radius curvature for the circumferential guided waves dispersion spectra is a major point that makes circumferential guided waves different from axial guided waves. For the purpose of material characterization, both axial and circumferential guided waves are able to extract an elastic moduli and wall-thickness information from the dispersion spectra, however, radius information can only be extracted from the circumferential guided waves spectra.     

HIGH INDEX OPTICAL MATERIALS PREPARED BY COPOLYMERIZATION OF NOVEL BIFUNCTIONAL THIOMETHACRYLATES

Optical materials, such as ophthalmic lens, are thermosetting resins, which require crosslinking agents. An optical resin, having a high refractive index, is usually produced by radical copolymerization in which high index crosslinking monomers are significantly important. We provide here the resins prepared by radical polymerization of novel bifunctional thiomethacrylates as high index crosslinkers.     

Synthesis,characterization, and tribological properties of two‐dimensional Ti3C2

We report on the preparation of two‐dimensional (2D) Ti₃C₂ and its friction and wear properties. Laminated Ti₃AlC₂ was synthesized by pressureless sintering using Ti, Al, and graphite, followed by HF exfoliation and sonication treatment to form 2D‐layered Ti₃C₂, which exhibited individual layer or stack of several layers. Analysis of microstructure and composition was used to confirm the successful exfoliation of laminated Ti₃AlC₂. The tribological behaviors of the as‐prepared 2D Ti₃C₂ as a lubrication additive in base oil were investigated. Results indicate that 2D‐layered Ti₃C₂ can greatly enhance the friction‐reducing and anti‐friction properties of base oil, especially with 1.0 wt% Ti₃C₂. This novel 2D‐layered Ti₃C₂ would be a good candidate for lubricating materials to meet emerging needs in practical applications.     

A synthesis technique of single square loop frequency selective surface at terahertz frequency

In this paper, we have explored and extended the use of frequency selective surface towards the terahertz regime of the electromagnetic spectrum where interesting applications such as imaging, sensing and communication exist. We have discussed a synthesis technique to design the single square loop frequency selective surface (SSLFSS) at 150 and 300 GHz which have found suitable application in the fast analysis and fabrication of the frequency selective surface. Moreover, the analytical results have been supported by the CST Microwave Studio and Ansoft HFSS commercial simulators. We have discussed the angular insensitivity of the SSLFSS at 150 GHz as well as 300 GHz. However, the specific problems arise at terahertz frequencies as compared to the radio and microwave frequencies are the ohmic losses. The proposed analysis has been extended from 100 GHz to 350 GHz to discuss the ohmic and dielectric losses. We have also discussed the other important issues which are very much significant in the terahertz regime of the spectrum such as skin depth and surface roughness.

Perfectly Encoding π-Conjugated Anions in the RE5(C3N3O3)(OH)12 (RE=Y,Yb, Lu) Family with Strong Second Harmonic Generation Response and Balanced Birefringence

Nonlinear optical (NLO) crystal, which simultaneously exhibits strong second-harmonic-generation (SHG) response and desired optical anisotropy, is a core optical material accessible to the modern optoelectronics. Accompanied by strong SHG effect in a NLO crystal, a contradictory problem of overlarge birefringence is ignored, leading to low frequency doubling efficiency and poor beam quality. Herein, a series of rare earth cyanurates RE₅(C₃N₃O₃)(OH)₁₂ (RE=Y, Yb, Lu) were successfully characterized by 3D electron diffraction technique. Based on a “three birds with one stone” strategy, they enable the simultaneous fulfillment of strong SHG responses (2.5–4.2× KH₂PO₄), short UV cutoff (ca. 220 nm) and applicable birefringence (ca. 0.15 at 800 nm) by the introduction of rare earth coordination control of π-conjugated (C₃N₃O₃)³⁻ anions. These findings provide high-performance short-wavelength NLO materials and highlight the exploration of cyanurates as a new research area.
