Direct Transformation of Arenols Based on C—O Activation

In the view of substrate availability, atomic efficiency and cost, directly using arenols as coupling partners in cross‐coupling, would be one of the most attractive goals. Up to date, many efforts have been made to activate the C—O bond of phenols with different strategies, for example, through in‐situ formed intermediates, through a catalytic reductive dearomatization‐condensation‐rearomatization sequence or catalytic deoxygenation. In this review, we summarized recent advances in cross‐couplings of arenols as the electrophiles via C—O activation.     

Time-dependent Ginzburg–Landau equations for multi-gap superconductors

We numerically solve the time-dependent Ginzburg–Landau equations for two-gap superconductors using the finite-element technique. The real-time simulation shows that at low magnetic field, the vortices in small-size samples tend to form clusters or other disorder structures. When the sample size is large, stripes appear in the pattern. These results are in good agreement with the previous experimental observations of the intriguing anomalous vortex pattern, providing a reliable theoretical basis for the future applications of multi-gap superconductors.     

Current air quality analytics and monitoring: A review

This review summarizes the different tools and concepts that are commonly applied in air quality monitoring. The monitoring of atmosphere is extremely important as the air quality is an important problem for large communities. Main requirements for analytical devices used for monitoring include a long period of autonomic operation and portability. These instruments, however, are often characterized by poor analytical performance. Monitoring networks are the most common tools used for monitoring, so large-scale monitoring programmes are summarized here. Biomonitoring, as a cheap and convenient alternative to traditional sample collection, is becoming more and more popular, although its main drawback is the lack of standard procedures. Telemonitoring is another approach to air monitoring, which offers some interesting opportunities, such as ease of coverage of large or remote areas, constituting a complementary approach to traditional strategies; however, it requires huge costs.     

半导体激光器光束准直系统的功率耦合效率

在长距离无线光通信中，接收点光功率密度与光束发散角平方呈反比关系，为了获得小的发散角和大的功率耦合效率，要求准直系统有较大的数值孔径(NA)，但数值孔径过大会增加像差，因此合理设计功率耦合效率与准直系统的数值孔径就非常重要。该文对半导体激光器光束准直系统中功率耦合效率进行了研究，给出了半导体激光器光束功率耦合效率与k(孔径半径与孔径处等效光束半径之比)的关系表达式，并结合激光器光束准直系统，给出了半导体激光器光束功率耦合效率与准直系统数值孔径的关系表达式。该研究结论对于半导体激光器光束准直系统设计具有参考作用。     

改善光纤倒像器的对比度传递特性

光纤倒像器是一种特殊类型的光纤板，可将传递图像直接倒转180°并应用于像增强器。由于光纤倒像器的特殊结构，造成光纤随着距扭转轴心的距离增加，数值孔径和光通量逐渐下降。相对于光纤板，光纤倒像器在透过率和对比度传递特性上均有一定程度的下降。通过改进玻璃系统，在一定程度上降低芯皮玻璃间离子扩散和相互渗透的程度，可提高光纤倒像器的实际数值孔径；通过调节EMA吸收量，既能满足像增强器对光纤倒像器荧光屏透过率的要求，又能保证最大程度地吸收光纤中逸出的杂散光，提高对比度。选择合理的芯皮比，不仅可弥补因扭转拉伸造成的皮层厚度减薄，还可进一步增加皮层厚度，抑制光从光纤中逸出。通过以上改进，可改善光纤倒像器的对比度传递特性。

Propagation of the Hermite–Gaussian beams through misaligned optical system with a circular aperture

By means of expanding a hard-edged aperture into a finite sum of complex Gaussian functions, the approximate analytical formula of one kind of higher-order Gaussian beams called the Hermite–Gaussian beams (HGBs) passing through circular apertured and misaligned optical system is obtained in this paper. The result provides more convenience for studying its propagation than the usual way by using diffraction integral directly. Some numerical simulations are also given for illustrating the propagation properties of the HGBs through the circular apertured optical systems.     

Energy Spectrum Width and Nonequilibrium Energy of Rayleigh Waves Scattered on a Two-Dimensional Near-Surface Electron Layer

We obtain expressions for the energy spectrum widths of Rayleigh waves corresponding to their deformational coupling to Fermi and Boltzmann electrons in a two-dimensional layer near the surface of a semibounded solid. We evaluate the nonequilibrium energy of Rayleigh waves that depends on these widths and is caused by the same coupling to the corresponding hot electrons. We show that this energy is independent of the degeneracy degree of the electrons and is given by the mean energy of free Rayleigh waves heated up to temperature of the electrons. We find conditions under which the thermodynamics is determined by this nonequilibrium energy of Rayleigh waves in films of a certain thickness with Fermi electrons near the surface and by the equilibrium energy of bulk phonons in thicker samples. All the results are obtained using the Keldysh diagram technique applied to the case of semibounded media.
