The surface plasmon phonon polaritons(SPPPs), which are coupled by the surface phonon polaritons(SPh Ps) and surface plasmon polaritons(SPPs), can greatly increase GH shifts.Based on the in-plane anisotropy of BP, two typical metasurface models are designed and investigated. An enormous GH shift of about-7565.58 λ_(0) is achieved by adjusting the physical parameters of the BP-patches. In the designed metasurface structure, the maximum sensitivity accompanying large GH shifts can reach about 6.43 × 10^(8) λ_(0)/RIU, which is extremely sensitive to the size, carrier density, and layer number of BP. Compared with a traditional surface plasmon resonance sensor, the sensitivity is increased by at least two orders of magnitude. We believe that investigating metasurface-based SPPPs sensors could lead to high-sensitivity biochemical detection applications.展开更多

In this study, we explore the Goos–H?nchen(GH) shift and Imbert–Fedorov(IF) shift in a biaxial hyperbolic film on a uniaxial hyperbolic substrate. This research statistically calculates and analyzes the GH shift and IF shift for the natural biaxial hyperbolic material(NBHM). We select the surface with the strongest anisotropy within the NBHM and obtain the complex beam-shift spectrum. By incorporating the NBHM film, the GH shift caused by a transversely magnetic incident-beam on the surface increases significantly compared with that on the uniaxial hyperbolic material. The maximum of GH shift can reach 86 λ0at about 841 cm-1when the thickness of NBHM is 90 nm, and the IF shift can approach 2.7 λ0for a circularly-polarized beam incident on a 1700-nm-thick NBHM. It is found that the spatialshift increases when a highly anisotropic hyperbolic polariton is excited in hyperbolic material, where the shift spectrum exhibits an oscillating behaviour accompanied with sharp shift peak(steep slope). This large spatial shift may provide an alternative strategy to develop novel sub-micrometric optical devices and biosensors.展开更多

In this paper, we study task offloading in multi-user MEC systems with heterogeneous clouds, including edge clouds and remote clouds. Tasks are forwarded from mobile devices to edge clouds via wireless channels, and they can be further forwarded to remote clouds via the Internet. Our objective is to minimize the total energy consumption of multiple mobile devices, subject to bounded-delay requirements of tasks. Based on dynamic programming, we propose an algorithm that minimizes the energy consumption, by jointly allocating bandwidth and computational resources to mobile devices. The algorithm is of pseudo-polynomial complexity. To further reduce the complexity, we propose an approximation algorithm with energy discretization, and its total energy consumption is proved to be within a bounded gap from the optimum. Simulation results show that, nearly 82.7% energy of mobile devices can be saved by task offloading compared with mobile device execution.展开更多

The Mach number of the incoming flow is up to 0.7 and most tested cases are at Ma = 0.3. The incidence is 10° at which the boundary layer is separated from 70% of the chord length. The roles of excitation frequency, amplitude, location and pitch angle are investigated. Preliminary results show that the excitation amplitude plays a very important role, the optimal excitation location is just upstream of the separation point, and the optimal pitch angle is 35°. The maximum relative reduction of loss coefficient is 22.8%.展开更多

The results indicate that, on average, there are no net energy savings from replacing a traditional fuel vehicle with an NGV. Interestingly, an NGV results in significant reductions in direct CAP and life-cycle GHG emissions compared to those of a traditional fuel vehicle, ranging from 61% to 76% and 12% to 29%, respectively. Due to the increasing use of natural gas as a vehicle fuel in China(i.e. approximately 28.2 billion cubic metres of natural gas in2015), the total petroleum substituted with natural gas was approximately 23.8 million tonnes(Mt), which generated a GHG emission reduction of 16.9 Mt of CO2 equivalent and a CAP emission reduction of 1.8 Mt in 2015. Given the significant contribution of NGVs, growing the NGV population in 2020 will further increase the petroleum substitution benefits and CAP and GHG emission reduction benefits by approximately 42.5 Mt of petroleum-based fuel, 3.1 Mt of CAPs and 28.0 Mt of GHGs. By 2030, these benefits will reach 81.5 Mt of traditional petroleum fuel, 5.6 Mt of CAPs and 50.5 Mt of GHGs, respectively.展开更多
