The microstructure, surface morphology, optical and electrical properties of AZO thin films were investigated by X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope, UV-visible spectrophotometer, four-point probe method, and Hall-effect measurement system. The results showed that all the films obtained were polycrystalline with a hexagonal structure and average optical transmittance of AZO thin films was over 85 % at different sputtering powers. The sputtering power had a great effect on optoelectronic properties of the AZO thin films, especially on the resistivity. The lowest resistivity of 4.5×10^-4 Ω·cm combined with the transmittance of 87.1% was obtained at sputtering power of 200 W. The optical band gap varied between 3.48 and 3.68 eV.展开更多

Due to fast fading and ambient interference in a wireless channel, conventional fixed-step power control schemes have difficulty in compensating for the fast fading channel dynamically and in a timely manner. To acquire flexible power regulation in order to maintain required transmission capacity under the given transmission quality requirement, we propose a hybrid power control scheme which makes full use of the simple fuzzy inference rule refined by an operator in the fuzzy control and prediction property from related previous results in Generalized Prediction Control (GPC). In implementation of this strategy, we classify the fading zone into three levels according to the signal-to-noise-rate (SNR) requirement. In each level the power compensation amount varies with fading gradient and the compensation scheme varies as well. The digital results show that adoption of the fuzzy-GPC power regulation scheme has acquired a reasonable performance improvement when compared with fixed-step and fuzzy schemes. According to theoretic analysis and simulation results, we can conclude that under a variational transmission environment, a flexible power regulation scheme such as fuzzy-GPC is easy to adapt to the environment and thus overcomes the near-far effect and multi-access interference effectively.展开更多

The material properties undertaken for the study are: surface area, conductivity and water absorption of the carbon. The electrode morphology revealed the uniform distribution of active material when high surface area carbon was added to NAM (negative active material). The porosity of the plate also exhibited changes with respect to type of carbon materials added. The study further revealed that, the addition of high surface area carbon (-1,400 m^2/g) improves the charge acceptance of the battery with higher loading. Further improvement in charge acceptance was observed with addition of graphite to higher surface area carbon. Nevertheless, the float current of the battery got affected due to graphite loading and found there was no impact on shelf life of the battery in all the cases. The study demonstrates the need for customized "carbon formulation" to obtain the maximum performance out of the battery.展开更多

A chatter free sliding mode control strategy for a chaotic coal mine power grid was developed. The stability of the control strategy was proven by Lyapunov stability theorem. The proposed sliding mode control strategy eliminated the chattering phenomenon by replacing the sign function with a saturation function, and by replacing the constant coefficients in the reaching law with adaptive ones. An immune genetic algorithm was used to optimize the parameters in the improved reaching law. The cut-in time of the controllers was optimized to reduce the peak energy of their output.

A new risk-tendency-graph (RTG) method was proposed to recognize the stability information in FES-assisted walking gait. The main instrument was a specialized walker dynamometer system based on a multi-channel strain-gauge bridge network fixed on the walker frame. During walking process, this system collected the reaction forces between patient's upper extremities and walker and converted them into RTG morphologic curves of dynamic gait stability in temporal and spatial domains. To demonstrate the potential usefulness of RTG, preliminary clinical trials were done with paraplegic patients. The gait stability levels of two walking cases with 4- and 12-week FES training from one subject were quantified (0.43 and 0.19) from the results of temporal and spatial RTG. Relevant instable phases in gait cycle and dangerous inclinations of patient's body during walking process were also brought forward. In conclusion, the new RTG method is practical for distinguishing more useful gait stability information for FES system control.展开更多

The first materials exhibiting this behavior were the perovskite-based ceramics on the CCTO (CaCuaTi4012) composition. Relative dielectric permittivity can attain values up to (or even larger than) 105. Nevertheless, their dielectric losses are too high, the lower values ranging 10%, in a narrow frequency range, thus limiting their applications. The underlying physical mechanisms at the origin of the CDC are still under study. The analysis of broadband impedance spectroscopy measurements leads most of the authors to propose an interracial polarization mechanism (at the electrodes or at internal barriers), there is a limited number of complementary electrical characterization techniques, which, up to now, comfort the proposed interracial polarization mechanisms. In the present work, I-V and time-domain polarization are used to characterize these materials. One of the main results is the observation of a non-symmetrical response of these materials related to the direction of the polarization. These results are observed for both macroscopic level on bulk polycrystalline material and within individual grains of the same samples. These results do not fit current accepted models for polarization for CDC materials.展开更多

The structur- al properties of FexC1-x films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscope (AFM) and Raman spec- troscopy. The results show that the iron and carbon of as-deposited films are in amorphous state, and the FexC1-x films are di- amond-like carbon (DLC) films. After doping iron into the DLC films, a smooth surface morphology of the FexC1-x films has been obtained with the surface roughness Ra of about 0.231 nm for x=18at%. The FexC1-x films have good soft magnetic prop- erties with the coercivity of approximately 20 Oe. A high positive magnetoresistance (MR) up to 93% with x=lat% was ob- served in a FexCl-x granular film at 300 K. The resistance characteristic of Fe-C films is changed at about 230 K and the positive MR effect can be understood by the p-n heterojunction theory.展开更多

However, the poor tolerance against moist air and the unstable solid electrolyte interphases (SEI) induced by the intrinsic high reactivity of lithium bring series of obstacles such as the rigorous operating condition, the poor electrochemical performance, and safety anxiety of the cell, which to a large extent hinder the commercial utilization of Li metal anode. Here, an effective encapsulation strategy was reported via a facile drop-casting and a following heat-assisted cross-linking process. Benefiting from the inherent hydrophobicity and the compact micro-structure of the cross-linked poly(vinylidene-co-hex afluoropropylene) (PVDF–HFP), the as-encapsulated Li metal exhibited prominent stability toward moisture, as well corroborated by the evaluations both under the humid air at 25 °C with 30% relative humidity (RH) and pure water. Moreover, the encapsulated Li metal anode exhibits a decent electrochemical performance without substantially increasing the cell polarization due to the uniform and unblocked ion channels, which originally comes from the superior affinity of the PVDF–HFP polymer toward nonaqueous electrolyte. This work demonstrates a novel and valid encapsulation strategy for humiditysensitive alkali metal electrodes, aiming to pave the way for the large-scale and low-cost deployment of the alkali metal-based high-energy-density batteries.展开更多

文摘The fuel-optimal transfer trajectories using solar electric propulsion are designed considering the power constraints and solar array performance degradation.Three different performance degradation models including linear,positive and negative exponential degradations are used in the analysis of three typical rendezvous missions including Apophis,Venus and Ceres,respectively.The optimal control problem is formulated using the calculus of variations and Pontryagin’s maximum principle,which leads to a bang-bang control that is solved by indirect method combined with a homotopic technique.In demonstrating the effects of the power constraints and solar array performance degradation on the power budget and fuel consumption,the time histories of the power profile and the fuel consumptions are compared for the three missions.This study indicates that it is necessary to consider the power constraints and solar array performance degradation for the SEP-based low-thrust trajectory design,espacially for long-duration outbound flights.
