Impact of atmospheric ionization by delayed radiation from highaltitude nuclear explosions on radio communication

In this study,we investigated the motion,shape,and delayed radiation intensity of a radioactive cloud by establishing a volume-source model of delayed radiation after high-altitude nuclear explosions.Then,the spatial distribution of electron number density at different moments on the north side of the explosion point generated by delayed γ-rays and delayed β-rays from the radioactive cloud under the influence of the geomagnetic field was calculated by solving chemical reaction kinetics equations.The impact of radio communication in the different frequency bands on the process of atmospheric ionization was also studied.The numerical results of the high-altitude nuclear explosion (120 km high and with a 1 megaton equivalent at 40°N latitude) indicated that the peak of electron number density ionized delayed γ-rays is located at a height of approximately 100 km and that of electron number density ionized delayed β-rays is about 90 km high.After 1 min of explosion,the radio communication in the medium frequency (MF) and high-frequency (HF)bands was completely interrupted,and the energy attenuation of the radio wave in the very high-frequency (VHF)band was extremely high.Five minutes later,the VHF radio communication was basically restored,but the energy attenuation in the HF band was still high.After 30 min,theVHF radio communication returned to normal,but its influence on the HF and MF radio communication continued.

FAST SOLUTION OF TRANSIENT SCATTERING FROM ELECTRICALLY LARGE COMPLEX OBJECTS BASED ON TIME DOMAIN INTEGRAL EQUATION SOLVERS

A fast Time Domain Integral Equation(TDIE) solver is presented for analysis of transient scattering from electrically large conducting complex objects.The numerical process of Marching-On-in-Time(MOT) method based TDIE encounters high computational cost and exorbitant memory requirements.A group-style accelerated method-Plane Wave Time Domain(PWTD) algorithm,which permits rapid evaluation of transient wave field generated by temporally bandlimited sources,is employed to reduce the computational cost of MOT-based TDIE solvers.An efficient compressed storage technique for sparse matrix is adopted to decrease the enormous memory requirements of MOT.The scheme of the Multi-Level PWTD(MLPWTD)-enhanced MOT with compressed storage for sparse matrix is presented for analysis of transient scattering from electrically large complex objects in this paper.The numerical simulation results demonstrate the validity and efficiency of the presented scheme.

Calculation and Improvement on External Quantum Efficiency of OLEDs

The calculation of the external quantum efficiency(η_ ext ) of organic light-emitting devices(OLEDs) is presented theoretically. The basic idea is to obtain η_ ext by calculating the fraction of the generated light that can escape through the top surface and the average transmittance over the escape cone. During the calculation, the effects of the interference, absorption and multiple reflections are neglected. Then a result of a typical 8-tris-hydroxyquinoline aluminum(Alq_ 3 )-based OLEDs on a planar glass substrate is obtained. And a twice increase in η_ ext can be achieved by using a high-index-glass substrate with an antireflection coating(SiO_ 2 ) on substrate surface.

Investigation of fluorescence resonance energy transfer ultrafast dynamics in electrostatically repulsed and attracted exciton-plasmon systems

Following the gradual maturation of synthetic techniques for nanomaterials,exciton-plasmon composites have become a research hot-spot due to their controllable energy transfer through electromagnetic fields on the nanoscale.However,most reports ignore fluorescence resonance energy transfer(FRET)under electrostatic repulsion conditions.In this study,the FRET process is investigated in both electrostatic attraction and electrostatic repulsion systems.By changing the Au:quantum dot ratio,local-field induced FRET can be observed with a lifetime of ns and a fast component of hundreds of ps.These results indicate that the intrinsic transfer process can only elucidated by considering both steady and transient state information.

We demonstrate that the electroluminescent performances of organic light-emitting diodes are significantly improved by employing a zinc phthalocyanine （ZnPc）-based composite hole transport layer （c-HTL）. The optimum ris-（8-hydroxyquinoline）aluminum （Alq3）-based organic light-emitting diode with a c-HTL exhibits a lower turn-on voltage of 2.8 V, a higher maximum current efficiency of 3.40 cd/A and a higher maximum power efficiency of 1.91 lm/W, which are superior to those of the conventional device （turn-on voltage of 3.8 V, maximum current efficiency of 2.60 cd/A, and maximum power efficiency of 1.21 lm/W）. We systematically studied the effects of different kinds of N’-diphenyl-N,N’-bis（1-naphthyl）（1,1’-biphenyl）-4,4’diamine （NPB）：ZnPc c-HTL. Meanwhile, we also investigate their mechanisms different from that in the case of using ZnPc as buffer layer. The specific analysis is based on the absorption spectra of the hole transporting material and current density–voltage characteristics of the corresponding hole-only devices.

Antenna geometry strategy with prior information for direction-finding MIMO radars

The antenna geometry strategy for direction finding （DF） with multiple-input multiple-output （MIMO） radars is studied. One case, usually encountered is practical applications, is consi- dered. For a directional antenna geometry with a prior direction, the trace-optimal （TO） criterion （minimizing the trace） on the av- erage Cramer-Rao bound （CRB） matrix is employed. A qualitative explanation for antenna geometry is provided, which is a combi- natorial optimization problem. In the numerical example section, it is shown that the antenna geometries, designed by the proposed strategy, outperform the representative DF antenna geometries.

Top-Emitting White Organic Light-Emitting Diodes Based on Cu as Both Anode and Cathode

It is still challenging to obtain broadband emission covering visible light spectrum as much as possible with negligible angular dependence. In this work, we demonstrate a low driving voltage top-emitting white organic light-emitting diode （TEWOLED） based on complementary blue and yellow phosphor emitters with negligible angular dependence. The bottom copper anode with medium reflectance, which is compatible with the standard complementary metal oxide semiconductor （CMOS） technology below 0.13 μm, and the semitransparent multi- layer Cs2CO3/AI/Cu cathode as a top electrode, are introduced to realize high-performance TEWOLED. Our TEWOLED achieves high efficiencies of 15.4callA and 12.1 1m/W at a practical brightness of lO00cd/m2 at low voltage of 4 V.

Top-emitting thermally activated delayed fluorescence organic light-emitting devices with weak light-matter coupling

Resonance interaction between a molecular transition and a confined electromagnetic field can lead to weak or strong light-matter coupling.Considering the substantial exciton–phonon coupling in thermally activated delayed fluorescence(TADF)materials,it is thus interesting to explore whether weak light-matter coupling can be used to redistribute optical density of states and to change the rate of radiative decay.Here,we demonstrate that the emission distribution of TADF emitters can be reshaped and narrowed in a top-emitting organic light-emitting device(OLED)with a weakly coupled microcavity.The Purcell effect of weak microcavity is found to be different for TADF emitters with different molecular orientations.We demonstrate that radiative rates of the TADF emitters with vertical orientation can be substantial increased in weakly coupled organic microcavity.These observations can enhance external quantum efficiencies,reduce efficiency roll-off,and improve color-purities of TADF OLEDs,especially for emitters without highly horizontal orientation.

As a primary anticounterfeiting technology,most paper anticounterfeiting devices take advantage of photoresponsive behaviors of certain security materials or structures,thus featuring low-security threshold,which has been a critical global issue.To incorporate optoelectronic devices into existing anticounterfeiting technology suggests a feasible avenue to address this challenge.Here we report a high-performance organic light-emitting paper-based flexible anticounterfeiting(FAC)device with multiple stimuli-responsiveness,including light,electricity,and their combination.Without sacrificing the preexisted security information on the paper,we fabricate FAC device in a facile,low-cost yet high-fidelity fashion by integrating patterned electro-responsive and photo-responsive organic emitters onto paper substrates.By introducing optical microcavities,the FAC device shows considerable color shift upon different viewing angle and applied voltage,which is easily discernible by naked eyes.Notably,the FAC device is bendable,unclonable,and durable(a half-lifetime over 4000 hours at 100 cd m^(−2)).

In this work, we designed and synthesized a novel spirocyclic compound functionalized spiro[fluorene-9,9＇- xanthene] with carbazole group （2-carbazolyl-spiro[fluorene-9,9＇-xanthene], SFX-Cz） via Friedel-Crafts and Ullmann reaction, which is expected to own high thermal and morphological stability, and good carrier injection/ transporting properties due to the excellent hole transporting characteristics of carbazole and cruciform structure of spiro[fluorene-9,9＇-xanthene]. The carbazole end-capped spiro[fluorene-9,9＇-xanthene] SFX-Cz based PhOLEDs with Flrpic as phosphor emitter have been researched by varying dopant concentration, which exhibit the maximum EQEs of 8.9%, 7.4%, 9.1%, and 4.7% with the doping increasing from 10% to 50%. The higher performance PhOLEDs are independent on concentration variation from 10% to 30%, which suggests the bulky steric hindrance of SFX-Cz might be a potential canditate for high performance and inexpensive device with simplified process.

A Bulky Pyridinylfluorene/Triphenylamine Hybrid Used as Host Material for Heavily-Doped Blue Electrophosphorescent Devices

In this work, a novel molecule pyridinylfluorene/triphenylamine hybrid （TPyFTPA） with bulky steric hindrance effects has been synthesized successfully by substituting 9-（pyridine-2-yl）-fluoren-9-yl with triphenylamine （TPA） via Friedel-Crafts reaction, which possesses good thermal stability and triplet energy （ET） of 420 ℃ with 5% weight loss and 2.86 eV, respectively. Moreover, the bulky steric hindrance material shows high stable morphology by heating to 200 ℃ without finding melting phenomena and crystallization that is demonstrated by differential scanning calorimetry （DSC） curve.

The performances of TPyFTPA-based blue PhOLEDs own wide concentration ranging from 10% to 40%, which indicates the bulky TPyFTPA might be a potential candidate for inexpensive products with simplifying process for the applications in full-color display and solid state lighting.

High Performance Top-Emitting Organic Light-Emitting Diodes for Super Video Graphics Array Monochromatic Microdisplays Application

We have demonstrated a high perlbrmance top-emitting organic light-emitting diode （TEOLED） achieving a brightness of 1000 cd/m^2 at a low voltage of 3.4 V, a power efficiency of 55.2 lm/W at a brightness of 611cd/m^2. and a low efficiency roll-off 5.1% calculated from the maximum efficiency value to that of 5000 cd/m^2. Such im- proved properties are controlled by electron injection from 7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline （BPhen） into and trans- port by the 2,4,6-tris[3＇-（pyridin-3-yl）biphenyl-3-yl]-l,3,5-triazine （TmPPPyTz） layer along with hole injection from 4,4＇,4＂-tris（N-carbazolyl）diphenylamine （TcTa） directly into the fac-tris（2-phenylpyridine）iridium [lr（ppy）3] highest occupied molecular level （HOMO）, leading to direct carrier recombination and excitons formation on the phosphor dopants. Eventually we integrated our high performance TEOLEDs on complementary metal oxide semi- conductor （CMOS） substrates to realize super video graphics array （SVGA） OLED microdisplays.
