Effect of deprotonation on the magnetic exchange coupling constant of fluorene‐based verdazyl diradical: A computational study

The magnetic behavior of the fluorene bridged verdazyl diradicals has been studied theoretically in their neutral and deprotonated states. The deprotonation of C9‐H site of the fluorene ring opens a new coupling pathway, which changes the nature of magnetic coupling. The transmission spectra analysis reveals that the transmission through fluorine has also increased due to the opening of a new coupling path after deprotonation.     

Azimuthal orientational correlations due to excluded volume epitaxy in growing anisotropic grains

The microstructure of anisotropically shaped grains can strongly influence a range of material properties, including transport, mechanical and electro-optical. A grain-structure-related phenomenon, known as excluded volume epitaxy (EVE), is reported in this study. EVE is a local, inter-grain orientational correlations effect, which results from a combination of continuous nucleation of anisotropic grains and impingement of growing grains. Due to EVE, anisotropically shaped grains have a tendency to be similarly aligned in a local neighbourhood, despite the absence of any forced global orientation in the sample. The effect has been repeatedly observed by the authors in block copolymers, as illustrated by a representative TEM image. Optical microscopy of anisotropically shaped non-polymeric crystals revealed the generality of this effect. The simulation study revealed a tendency for azimuthal, inter-grain orientational correlation and re-confirmed the experimental observation of EVE.     

Binary collision simulations of ion transmission through silicon single crystal films

Abstract

Computer simulation studies of the energy distribution of transmitted ions such as alpha-particles, He-, and B-ions through crystalline silicon, using the enhanced binary-collision cascade simulator MARLOWE, will be reviewed. The enhancement includes an additional electronic-energy loss (EEL) model which takes into account explicitly both the target electron density variation via the structure factors and the electron density of the projectile. Investigations of the stopping power for He ions and protons in silicon, at intermediate- and high-energies, based on the adapted EEL model and a velocity-dependent effective charge will be presented. The overall agreement between the calculated and experimentally determined stopping power data and the simulated and measured transmission spectra will be demonstrated. Effects of energy-loss straggling, core-electron contribution to the energy loss at high-energies and charge-state effects at low energies on the transmission spectra will also be discussed.     

Where the rubber meets the hand: Unlocking the sensing potential of dielectric elastomers

Practice makes perfect to some extent. Research has shown that musicians who practice the piano for long periods of time can suffer a range of hand problems from loss of control to diminished speed. Now imagine a rubber keyboard that is springy, soft, and elastic. This is the new type of input device that dielectric elastomers (DE) can create. However their usage in large sensing systems is limited by a scalability challenge. Each DE sensor is married to a pair of connection cables and electronics, adding to the complexity of the background overheads. A new efficient multi‐frequency method is presented that is capable of detecting internal pressure changes from a difference in the DE's capacitance without the need for any additional wires or connections. This effectively segments the DE into smaller sections, achieving information from a single sensor equivalent to multiple sensors. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part B: Polym.

On the inverse spectral theory in a non-homogeneous interior transmission problem

We study the inverse spectral problem in an interior transmission eigenvalue problem. The Cartwright’s theory in value distribution theory gives a connection between the distributional structure of the eigenvalues and the asymptotic behaviours of its defining functional determinants. Given a sufficient quantity of transmission eigenvalues, we prove a uniqueness of the refraction index in inhomogeneous medium as an uniqueness problem in entire function theory. The asymptotically periodical structure of the zero set of the solutions helps to locate infinitely many eigenvalues of infinite degree of freedom.     

等效相移光栅反射光谱特性的研究

等效相移光栅的原理是,通过对取样光纤布拉格光栅在特定点进行毫米尺度的“位移”,经过傅里叶变换,在各频率通道产生“等效相移”。首先利用光栅的Turan传输矩阵进行数值模拟,验证了真实相移光栅的各种性质在等效相移光栅中的实现,然后针对当前关于等效相移光栅的报道中,-2级光栅反射率都很低,并且没有出现“等效相移”的情况,提出了一种实现-2级等效相移光栅的方法,并进行了仿真验证。最后给出了等效相移光栅反射率随长度变化的曲线。
