Meta Junction Promoting Efficient Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence in Donor-Acceptor Conjugated Polymers

The meta junction is proposed to realize efficient thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) in donor–acceptor (D-A) conjugated polymers. Based on triphenylamine as D and dicyanobenzene as A, as a proof of concept, a series of D-A conjugated polymers has been developed by changing their connection sites. When the junction between D and A is tuned from para to meta, the singlet–triplet energy splitting (ΔE_ST) is found to be significantly decreased from 0.44 to 0.10 eV because of the increasing hole–electron separation. Unlike the para-linked analogue with no TADF, consequently, the meta-linked polymer shows a strong delayed fluorescence. Its corresponding solution-processed organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) achieve a promising external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 15.4 % (51.9 cd A⁻¹, 50.9 lm W⁻¹) and CIE coordinates of (0.34, 0.57). The results highlight the bright future of D-A conjugated polymers used for TADF OLEDs.     

Wavelet transforms in separation science for denoising and peak overlap detection

Wavelet transform is a versatile time‐frequency analysis technique, which allows localization of useful signals in time or space and separates them from noise. The detector output from any analytical instrument is mathematically equivalent to a digital image. Signals obtained in chemical separations that vary in time (e.g., high‐performance liquid chromatography) or space (e.g., planar chromatography) are amenable to wavelet analysis. This article gives an overview of wavelet analysis, and graphically explains all the relevant concepts. Continuous wavelet transform and discrete wavelet transform concepts are pictorially explained along with their chromatographic applications. An example is shown for qualitative peak overlap detection in a noisy chromatogram using continuous wavelet transform. The concept of signal decomposition, denoising, and then signal reconstruction is graphically discussed for discrete wavelet transform. All the digital filters in chromatographic instruments used today potentially broaden and distort narrow peaks. Finally, a low signal‐to‐noise ratio chromatogram is denoised using the procedure. Significant gains (>tenfold) in signal‐to‐noise ratio are shown with wavelet analysis. Peaks that were not initially visible were recovered with good accuracy. Since discrete wavelet transform denoising analysis applies to any detector used in separation science, researchers should strongly consider using wavelets for their research.     

排名聚合算法在少量长列表聚合中的性能比较分析

排名聚合将多个排名列表聚合成一个综合排名列表,可应用于推荐系统、链路预测、元搜索、提案评选等.当前已有工作从不同角度对不同排名聚合算法进行了综述、比较,但存在算法种类较少、数据统计特性不清晰、评价指标不够合理等局限性.不同排名聚合算法在提出时均声称优于已有算法,但是用于比较的方法不同,测试的数据不同,应用的场景不同,因此何种算法最能适应某一任务在很多情况下仍不甚清楚.本文基于Mallows模型,提出一套生成统计特性可控的不同类型的排名列表的算法,使用一个可应用于不同类型排名列表的通用评价指标,介绍9种排名聚合算法以及它们在聚合少量长列表时的表现.结果发现启发式方法虽然简单,但是在排名列表相似度较高、列表相对简单的情况下,能够接近甚至超过一些优化类方法的结果;列表中平局数量的增长会降低聚合排名的一致性并增加波动;列表数量的增加对聚合效果的影响呈现非单调性.整体而言,基于距离优化的分支定界方法 (FAST)优于其他各类算法,在不同类型的排名列表中表现非常稳定,能够很好地完成少量长列表的排名聚合.     

Broadband mode converter and multiplexer based on dielectric-loaded plasmonic waveguides

We theoretically demonstrate a broadband mode converter and multiplexer based on plasmonic waveguides loaded with structured dielectrics. The proposed device can realize conversions between a fundamental TM₀ mode and a first order TM₁ mode, as well as (de)multiplex them with another TM₀ mode. Our design exhibits as wide as 400 nm bandwidth and as short as 6~7 μm coupling length. This work has potential application in high density photonic integrated devices for both computing and communication applications.     

Diffraction mode selection in planar Bragg resonators of optical and microwave wavelength ranges

Using the coupled waves approach complemented by the time-domain quasi-optical approximation, we solve a 2D diffraction problem which allows to evaluate the eigenfrequencies, quality factors and spatial structures of eigenmodes in planar Bragg resonators with a finite length and width of the corrugated area. We find the values of the Fresnel parameter determined by the geometrical dimensions of the system which allows for efficient transverse mode discrimination due to the larger diffraction losses of the modes with higher transverse numbers.

A New Model for the Genesis of Natural Gases--Multi-source Overlap, Multi-stage Continuity, Type Controlled by Main Source and Nomenclature by Main Stage (Ⅰ)--Multi-source Overlap and Type Controlled by Main Source

Based on the geochemical studies of natural gases in the past ten years in China, the authors have proposed a new model for their genesis--multi-source overlap, multi-stage continuity, main source-controlling type and nomenclature by the main stage.Multi-source refers to a diversity of material sources involved in the formation of natural gases, including abiogenic and biogenic material sources. In regard to biogenic sources, either oil-generating or coal-generating organic matter would produce gaseous hydrocarbon reservoirs of commercial importance. Generally, natural gases originating from these sources can overlap to form gas reservoirs. Under specific circumstances mantle-source abiogenic gases could overlap biogenic gases to form gas reservoirs. In nature, natural gases predominated by gaseous hydrocarbons may be formed from a single end-member source. However, multi-source overlap is more typical of the genesis of natural gases.

连续碳纤维增强的聚芳醚酮复合材料的层间破坏

用双悬臂梁和端开口弯曲试件分别研究了连续碳纤维增强的聚芳醚酮复合材料(CF/PEK-C)的Ⅰ型和Ⅱ型的层间破坏。CF/PEK-C的Ⅰ型层破坏的线弹性断裂判据G_(Ⅰc)和弹塑性断裂判据J_(Ⅰc)分别为0.69KJ/m~2且与裂纹长度无关。CF/PEK-C的Ⅱ型层间破坏的稳定性,与裂纹和半距之比α/L有关。当α/L小于0.7时,表现为不稳定的Ⅱ型层间破坏的断裂韧性G_(Ⅱc)为1.62KJ/m~2。当α/L大于0.7时,则为稳定的Ⅱ型层间破坏。此时的G_(Ⅱc)与临界点的选择有关。由亚临界点和0.95点法得出的G_(Ⅱc)值分别为1.73和2.74KJ.M~2。
