Ultrafast Electron–Phonon Coupling at Metal-Dielectric Interface

Energy transfer from photo-excited electrons in a metal thin film to the dielectric substrate is important for understanding the ultrafast heat transfer process across the two materials. Substantial research has been conducted to investigate heat transfer in a metal-dielectric structure. In this work, a two-temperature model in metal was used to analyze the interface electron and dielectric substrate coupling. An improved temperature and wavelength-dependent Drude–Lorentz model was implemented to interpret the signals obtained in optical measurements. Ultrafast pump-and-probe measurements on Au-Si samples were carried out, where the probe photon energy was chosen to be close to the interband transition threshold of gold to minimize the influence of non-equilibrium electrons on the optical response and maximize the thermal modulation to the optical reflectance. Electron-substrate interface thermal conductance at different pump laser fluences was obtained, and was found to increase with the interface temperature.     

Distant Supervised Relation Extraction with Cost-Sensitive Loss

Recently, many researchers have concentrated on distant supervision relation extraction (DSRE). DSRE has solved the problem of the lack of data for supervised learning, however, the data automatically labeled by DSRE has a serious problem, which is class imbalance. The data from the majority class obviously dominates the dataset, in this case, most neural network classifiers will have a strong bias towards the majority class, so they cannot correctly classify the minority class. Studies have shown that the degree of separability between classes greatly determines the performance of imbalanced data. Therefore, in this paper we propose a novel model, which combines class-to-class separability and cost-sensitive learning to adjust the maximum reachable cost of misclassification, thus improving the performance of imbalanced data sets under distant supervision. Experiments have shown that our method is more effective for DSRE than baseline methods.     

Corrosion resistance of Mg(OH)_2/Mg-Al-layered double hydroxide coatings on magnesium alloy AZ31:influence of hydrolysis degree of silane

Mg(OH)_2/Mg-Al-layered double hydroxide(LDH)coatings were modified with methyltrimethoxysilane(MTMS)on magnesium alloys.Effect of hydrolysis degree of silane solution on coating formation was investigated.Chemical compositions and surface morphologies of the coatings were examined using X-ray diffraction(XRD),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)and field-emission scanning electronic microscopy(FESEM).Results indicated that the composite coatings consisted of polymethyltrimethoxysilane(PMTMS),LDH and Mg(OH)_2.Electrochemical and hydrogen evolution measurements revealed that the composite coatings possessed good corrosion resistance,especially the ones prepared in a high hydrolysis degree of silane.The optimum corrosion resistance of the composite coating was LDH/PMTMS-3 coating,which had the lowest value of corrosion current density(5.537 × 10~(-9) A·cm~(-2))and a dense surface.Plausible mechanism for coating formation and corrosion process of MTMS-modified Mg(OH)_2/Mg-Al-LDH coatings were discussed.

Enhanced airborne sound absorption effect in poly(vinylidene fluoride)/(K0.5Na0.5)NbO3-nanofiber composite foams

Introducing electrical conductive function to discharge local piezoelectric effect is found effective for improving airborne sound absorption performance. In this work, instead of conductive fillers, a composite with two piezoelectric materials with opposite piezoelectric responses was explored aiming at enhanced sound absorption effect. Open-cell poly(vinylidene fluoride)/(K_0.5Na_0.5)NbO₃ (PVDF/KNN)-nanofiber composite foams were proposed and investigated for airborne sound absorption purpose. Structural and thermal analyses showed that the KNN nanofibers were well dispersed in the PVDF matrix and enhanced the degree of crystallinity of polar phase of PVDF. Significantly enhanced airborne sound absorption over a broad frequency range was observed in the PVDF/KNN-nanofiber composite foams, with increasing KNN nanofibers. One possible mechanism for the improved sound absorption with the piezoelectric KNN nanofibers with positive piezoelectric coefficient added in the PVDF matrix with negative piezoelectric coefficient is that electrical discharge could be facilitated for energy dissipation with the opposite charges generated through the piezoelectric effects in the two phases with opposite polarity. The experimental results show that the open-cell PVDF/KNN-nanofiber composite foams are promising for broadband airborne sound absorption application, and our analysis shed a light on the strategy in designing piezoelectric composite foam with high sound absorption performance.
