Polymerization of aliphatic disubstituted acetylenes by MoOCl4–n‐Bu4Sn–EtOH catalyst: Formation of polymers with narrow MWDs and confirmation of the living character

The polymerization of aliphatic disubstituted acetylenes was examined with MoOCl₄–n‐Bu₄Sn–EtOH (1/1/2) ternary catalyst in anisole at 0 °C. Various linear aliphatic disubstituted acetylenes such as 2‐nonyne provided polymers with narrow molecular weight distributions (weight‐average molecular weight/number‐average molecular weight = 1.05–1.20). The living character of the polymerization was proven by both the time profile of the polymerization and the multistage polymerization of 2‐nonyne. The initiation efficiency was about 3%, which is rather low. Although 5‐dodecyne, which has a triple bond in a more inner part, polymerized more slowly than 2‐nonyne, their living characters were hardly different. Diblock copolymers were synthesized by the sequential living polymerization of internal linear alkynes. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 38: 2697–2701, 2000     

A variationally consistent finite element approach to the two‐fluid internal contact‐line problem

A new method for simulating incompressible viscous fluid flow involving moving internal contact lines is presented. The steady state interface shape is determined by a variationally consistent formulation of the surface tension contribution to the equations of motion adapted to the case of internal contact lines through the application of a global force balance compatibility condition that consistently removes the pressure indeterminacy. The Crouzeix–Raviart element is chosen to capture the pressure discontinuity at the two‐fluid interface. The resulting discrete equations are solved by an iterative procedure which displays fast convergence characteristics for small capillary numbers. Numerical results for the case of the steady movement of a fluid meniscus in a two‐dimensional channel are presented. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Discrete Transforms and Matrix Rotation Based Cancelable Face and Fingerprint Recognition for Biometric Security Applications

The security of information is necessary for the success of any system. So, there is a need to have a robust mechanism to ensure the verification of any person before allowing him to access the stored data. So, for purposes of increasing the security level and privacy of users against attacks, cancelable biometrics can be utilized. The principal objective of cancelable biometrics is to generate new distorted biometric templates to be stored in biometric databases instead of the original ones. This paper presents effective methods based on different discrete transforms, such as Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), Fractional Fourier Transform (FrFT), Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), in addition to matrix rotation to generate cancelable biometric templates, in order to meet revocability and prevent the restoration of the original templates from the generated cancelable ones. Rotated versions of the images are generated in either spatial or transform domains and added together to eliminate the ability to recover the original biometric templates. The cancelability performance is evaluated and tested through extensive simulation results for all proposed methods on a different face and fingerprint datasets. Low Equal Error Rate (EER) values with high AROC values reflect the efficiency of the proposed methods, especially those dependent on DCT and DFrFT. Moreover, a comparative study is performed to evaluate the proposed method with all transformations to select the best one from the security perspective. Furthermore, a comparative analysis is carried out to test the performance of the proposed schemes with the existing schemes. The obtained outcomes reveal the efficiency of the proposed cancelable biometric schemes by introducing an average AROC of 0.998, EER of 0.0023, FAR of 0.008, and FRR of 0.003.     

Broadband and broad-angle asymmetric acoustic transmission by unbalanced excitation of surface evanescent waves based on single-layer metasurface

Currently, complicated structure, incident-angle selectivity, and narrow frequency band are the key drawbacks of the asymmetric acoustic transmission (AAT) devices. Here we tackle these problems by proposing a class of single-layer lossy acoustic metasurfaces. The broadband AAT performance is realized in a broad range of incident angles. When the incident angle is in the range between two critical values, which are derived in this paper, an external sound wave can be converted into an evanescent mode, and the total internal reflection occurs for backward sound. The incident sound wave can be negatively refracted for forward sound if the evanescent mode conversion condition is broken, representing the realization of the AAT. However, the AAT phenomenon cannot be observed outside of the range defined above. The proposed design of highly efficient broad-angle AAT can find applications in sound sensing and noise control.     

光电耦合对InGaN/GaN量子阱光学性能的影响

围绕高性能GaN基垂直腔面发射激光器(VCSELs),设计了两种具有不同光电耦合强度的InGaN/GaN量子阱(QWs)样品,研究了它们的光学性质。样品A在腔模的两个波腹处各放置两个InGaN耦合量子阱,而样品B在腔模的一个波腹处放置5个InGaN耦合量子阱。计算表明样品A具有较大的相对光限制因子1.79,而样品B为1.47。光学测试发现样品A有着更高的内量子效率(IQE)和更高的辐射复合效率。使用两种样品制作了光泵VCSEL结构,在光激发下实现激射,其中基于样品A的VCSEL有着更低的激射阈值。结果表明有源区结构会显著影响量子阱与光场的耦合作用、外延片的内量子效率、辐射复合寿命和VCSEL激射阈值,同时也说明样品A的有源区结构更有利于制作低阈值的VCSEL器件。

Growth and Properties of Mid-infrared Single Crystal LiInS2

A Bridgman growth furnace was modified by adding adiabatic material between two furnace tubes. The appropriate temperature gradient of 10～30 ℃/cm at the growth interface was obtained by adjusting the distance between the two sections and controlling their temperature. The infrared nonlinear optical (NLO) crystal LiInS2 was successfully grown by the accelerated crucible rotation technique (ACRT). The crystal was characterized by using XRD and transmission microscopy. It is found that the UV-VIS-NIR and Mid-IR transmittances are about 40%.
