Numerical analysis of the resonance mechanism of the lumped parameter system model for acoustic mine detection

The method of numerical analysis is employed to study the resonance mechanism of the lumped parameter system model for acoustic mine detection. Based on the basic principle of the acoustic resonance technique for mine detection and the characteristics of low-frequency acoustics, the “soil-mine” system could be equivalent to a damping “mass-spring” resonance model with a lumped parameter analysis method. The dynamic simulation software, Adams, is adopted to analyze the lumped parameter system model numerically. The simulated resonance frequency and anti-resonance frequency are 151 Hz and 512 Hz respectively, basically in agreement with the published resonance frequency of 155 Hz and anti-resonance frequency of 513 Hz, which were measured in the experiment. Therefore, the technique of numerical simulation is validated to have the potential for analyzing the acoustic mine detection model quantitatively. The influences of the soil and mine parameters on the resonance characteristics of the soil–mine system could be investigated by changing the parameter setup in a flexible manner.

Experimental investigation of vector static magnetic field detection using an NV center with a single first-shell ^(13)C nuclear spin in diamond

We perform a proof-of-principle experiment that uses a single negatively charged nitrogen–vacancy（NV） color center with a nearest neighbor ^13C nuclear spin in diamond to detect the strength and direction（including both polar and azimuth angles） of a static vector magnetic field by optical detection magnetic resonance（ODMR） technique. With the known hyperfine coupling tensor between an NV center and a nearest neighbor ^13C nuclear spin, we show that the information of static vector magnetic field could be extracted by observing the pulsed continuous wave（CW） spectrum.

Research on Magnetically Coupled Resonant Detection Method for Breakpoint of Four Mesh Grounding Grid

Magnetically coupled resonant technology is a novel method for solving the breakpoint locating of power grounding grid.But the method can only detect breakpoints of a single mesh grounding grid at present.In this paper,a magnetically coupled resonant detection method for four-hole grounding grid breakpoint is proposed.Firstly,the equivalent circuit model of the four mesh grounding grid with two types of breakpoints,namely edge branch and intermediate branch,is established.The input impedance and phase angle of the system are obtained by analyzing the equivalent capacitance and equivalent resistance in the model.Secondly,the magnetically coupled resonant physical process of grounding grid faults is solved via HFSS software.The magnetic field intensity and phase frequency characteristic curves of four mesh holes with different branches and positions of breakpoints and different corrosion degrees are studied,and an experimental system is built to verify the feasibility.The results show that under the condition of grounding grid buried depth of 0.5 m and input frequency of 1~15MHz,and there is an inverse relationship between equivalent capacitance and distortion frequency,the phase angle is positively correlated with the degree of corrosion of grounding grid,and the error of signal distortion frequency can be positioned at 5%.This paper provides some ideas for the application of magnetic coupling grounding grid detection technology.

Vector magnetometry in zero bias magnetic field using nitrogen-vacancy ensembles

The application of the vector magnetometry based on nitrogen-vacancy(NV)ensembles has been widely investigatedin multiple areas.It has the superiority of high sensitivity and high stability in ambient conditions with microscale spatialresolution.However,a bias magnetic field is necessary to fully separate the resonance lines of optically detected magneticresonance(ODMR)spectrum of NV ensembles.This brings disturbances in samples being detected and limits the rangeof application.Here,we demonstrate a method of vector magnetometry in zero bias magnetic field using NV ensembles.By utilizing the anisotropy property of fluorescence excited from NV centers,we analyzed the ODMR spectrum of NVensembles under various polarized angles of excitation laser in zero bias magnetic field with a quantitative numerical modeland reconstructed the magnetic field vector.The minimum magnetic field modulus that can be resolved accurately is downto~0.64 G theoretically depending on the ODMR spectral line width(1.8 MHz),and~2 G experimentally due to noisesin fluorescence signals and errors in calibration.By using 13C purified and low nitrogen concentration diamond combinedwith improving calibration of unknown parameters,the ODMR spectral line width can be further decreased below 0.5 MHz,corresponding to~0.18 G minimum resolvable magnetic field modulus.

Detection of parathion methyl using a surface plasmon resonance sensor combined with molecularly imprinted films

An ultra-sensitive and highly selective parathion methyl （PM） detection method by surface plasmon resonance （SPR） combined with molecularly imprinted films （MIF） was developed. The PM-imprinted film was prepared by thermo initiated polymerization on the bare Au surface of an SPR sensor chip, Template PM molecules were quickly removed by an organic solution of acetonitrilelacetic acid （9：1, v/v）, causing a shift of 0.5° in SPR angle. In the concentrations range of 10^-13-10^-10 mol/L, the refractive index showed a gradual increase with higher concentrations of template PM and the changes of SPR angles were linear with the negative logarithm of PM concentrations. In the experiment, the minimum detectable concentration was 10^-13 mol/L. The selectivity of the thin PM-imprinted film against diuron, tetrachlorvinphose and fenitrothion was examined, but no observable binding was detected. The results in the experiment suggested that the MIF had the advantages of high sensitivity and selectivity.

Estimation of vector static magnetic field by a nitrogen-vacancy center with a single first-shell ^(13)C nuclear(NV–^(13)C)spin in diamond

We suggest an experimental scheme that a single nitrogen-vacancy（NV） center coupled to a nearest neighbor ^13C nucleus as a sensor in diamond can be used to detect a static vector magnetic field. By means of optical detection magnetic resonance（ODMR） technique, both the strength and the direction of the vector field could be determined by relevant resonance frequencies of continuous wave（CW） and Ramsey spectrums. In addition, we give a method that determines the unique one of eight possible hyperfine tensors for an（NV–^13C） system. Finally, we propose an unambiguous method to exclude the symmetrical solution from eight possible vector fields, which correspond to nearly identical resonance frequencies due to their mirror symmetry about ^14N–Vacancy–^13 C（^14N–V–^13C） plane.

CVRgram for Demodulation Band Determination in Bearing Fault Diagnosis under Strong Gear Interference

Fault-related resonance frequency band extraction-based demodulation methods are widely used for bearing diagnostics.However,due to the high peaks of strong gear meshing interference,the classical band selection methods have poor performance and cannot work well for bearing fault type detection.As such,the CVRgram-based bearing fault diagnosis method is proposed in this paper.In the proposed method,inspired by the conditional variance(CV)index and root mean square(RMS),a novel index,named the CV/root mean square(CVR),is first proposed.The CVR index has high robustness for the interference of non-Gaussian or Gaussian noise and has the ability to determine the center frequency of the weak bearing fault-related resonance frequency band under strong interference.Secondly,motived by the Kurtogram,the CVRgram algorithm is developed for adaptively determining the optimal filtering parameters.Finally,the CVRgram-based bearing fault diagnosis method under strong gear meshing interference is proposed.The performance of the CVRgram-based method is verified by both the simulation signal and the experiment signal.The comparison analysis with the Kurtogram,Protrugram,and CVgram-based method shows that the proposed technique has a much better ability for bearing fault detection under strong noise interference.

Spectral observation of symmetry-protected selection rules for dynamical high-dimensional parity in alignment magnetic resonance

Multidimensional Floquet-driven alignment systems with dynamical symmetry present various exotic phenomena and applications.However,there are challenges in directly characterizing large-spin dynamical symmetry from spectra.Here,we first observe the symmetry-protected selection rules of dynamical high-dimensional parity in a large-spin(F=4)system.We theoretically construct a Floquet-driven alignment system that can be used to reveal high-dimensional spatiotemporal symmetry.In the experiment,the system is implemented in Cs atomic gas subjected to two-dimensional Floquet-modulated magnetic resonance driving.By developing Floquet detection protocols of alignment double-sided spectra,we directly verify symmetry-protected selection rules of dynamical high-dimensional parity for large-spin systems.This work advances the exploration of dynamical symmetry to large spins,and unravels a universal Floquet scheme for the investigation of symmetry-protected selection rules.

A Numerical Approach to Design the Kretschmann Configuration Based Refractive Index Graphene-MoS_(2) Hybrid Layers With TiO_(2)-SiO_(2) Nano for Formalin Detection

In this paper,a Kretschmann configuration based surface plasmon resonance(SPR)sensor is numerically designed using graphene-MoS_(2) hybrid structure TiO_(2)-SiO_(2) nano particles for formalin detection.In this design,the observations of SPR angle versus minimum reflectance and SPR frequency(FSPR)versus maximum transmittance(Tmax)are considered.The chitosan is used as probe legend to perform reaction with the formalin(40%formaldehyde)which acts as target legend.In this paper,both graphene and MoS_(2) are used as biomolecular acknowledgment element(BAE)and TiO_(2) as well as SiO_(2) bilayers is used to improve the sensitivity of the sensor.The numerical results show that the variation of FSPR and SPR angles for inappropriate sensing of formalin is quite insignificant which confirms the absence of formalin.On the other hand,these variations for appropriate sensing are considerably significant that confirm the presence of formalin.At the end of this article,the variation of sensitivity of the proposed biosensor is measured in corresponding to the increment of a refractive index with a refractive index step 0.01 refractive index unit(RIU).In inclusion of TiO_(2)-SiO_(2) bilayers with graphene-MoS_(2),a maximum sensitivity of 85.375%is numerically calculated.

We highlight the emerging trends in this field as well.

Detection of low-concentration EGFR with a highly sensitive optofluidic resonator

A hollow-core metal-cladding waveguide（HCMW） optofluidic resonator that works based on a free-space coupling technique is designed. An HCMW can excite ultra-high-order modes（UOMs） at the coupled angle, which can be used as an optofluidic resonator to detect alterations of the epidermal growth factor receptor（EGFR）concentration. Theoretical analysis shows that the UOMs excited in the HCMW have a highly sensitive response to the refractive index（RI） variation of the guiding layer. An EGFR solution with a 0.2 ng/mL alteration is detected, and the RI variation caused by the concentration alteration is about 2.5 × 10^（-3）.

Spin-manipulated nanoscopy for single nitrogenvacancy center localizations in nanodiamonds

Due to their exceptional optical and magnetic properties,negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy(NV−)centers in nanodiamonds(NDs)have been identified as an indispensable tool for imaging,sensing and quantum bit manipulation.The investigation of the emission behaviors of single NV−centers at the nanoscale is of paramount importance and underpins their use in applications ranging from quantum computation to super-resolution imaging.Here,we report on a spin-manipulated nanoscopy method for nanoscale resolutions of the collectively blinking NV−centers confined within the diffraction-limited region.Using wide-field localization microscopy combined with nanoscale spin manipulation and the assistance of a microwave source tuned to the optically detected magnetic resonance(ODMR)frequency,we discovered that two collectively blinking NV−centers can be resolved.Furthermore,when the collective emitters possess the same ground state spin transition frequency,the proposed method allows the resolving of each single NV−center via an external magnetic field used to split the resonant dips.In spin manipulation,the three-level blinking dynamics provide the means to resolve two NV−centers separated by distances of 23 nm.The method presented here offers a new platform for studying and imaging spin-related quantum interactions at the nanoscale with superresolution techniques.
