Co-precipitation synthesis of ZnAl2O4: Cr3+ phosphor for better light penetration in pc-LED

Cr doped ZnAl₂O₄ spinel samples were prepared by the traditional solid state reaction and co-precipitation synthetic route, and the results suggest that the co-precipitation method has some superiority in contrast to the solid state reaction method. XRD, FT-IR, and XPS spectra confirmed that the well-crystallized spinel cubic phase of ZnAl₂O₄: Cr³⁺ samples were successfully formed. The morphology of the samples was investigated by FE-SEM and FE-TEM, and the results show that the samples by the co-precipitation route can generate a smaller size of particles compared to the solid state reaction. Photoluminescence excitation spectra monitored at 686 nm are comprised of two broad excitation bands near 530 nm and 395 nm, and the emission spectra show emissions ranging from 640 to 780 nm, due to the ²E?→?⁴A₂ spin-forbidden transition of Cr³⁺ ions in spinel lattices. The optimized concentration monitored at 686 nm is 1%, while at 693 nm is 3.5%. Compared with the samples by solid state reaction method, the samples by co-precipitation method show preferable luminescent properties, such as the higher photoluminescence intensity and higher quantum efficiency. Several phosphor-converted LEDs were to investigate the applicability of the prepared samples. The results confirm that the phosphor has potential applications in plant growth and supplementing the red region in white-LEDs and the phosphors prepared by co-precipitation are more suitable to be used in phosphor-converted LED devices due to their preferable luminescent properties.

     

子集模拟中马尔可夫链蒙特卡洛抽样算法比较

文章着重研究子集模拟中马尔可夫链蒙特卡洛(MCMC)抽样算法的抽样效率与计算精度。首先，阐述可靠度子集模拟的基本原理与中间状态样本生成的各种MCMC抽样算法，在稳态马尔可夫链构造基础上提出延迟拒绝MMH(Modified Metropolis Hasting)算法，通过在MMH算法上增加备选样本的延迟拒绝步提高MMH算法的抽样效率；阐述基于随机游走与基于扩散方程MCMC方法中建议分布的差异，进一步对备选样本接受率为1的preconditioned Crank-Nicolson(pCN)算法和条件抽样(Conditional sampling, CS)算法开展研究，证明两种算法的等价性；推导有效样本量的计算方法，提出采用有效样本量与总样本量的比值定义MCMC方法的抽样效率。通过复杂目标分布的样本生成研究不同MCMC抽样算法建议分布及其参数对备选样本接受率与抽样效率的影响，最后通过计算实例研究子集模拟过程采用不同MCMC抽样算法得到失效概率的相对误差及其变异性，揭示不同MCMC抽样算法对失效概率计算精度的影响。研究表明：不同MCMC抽样算法生成备选样本的接受率及其自相关性受建议分布及其参数影响较大，对于复杂的目标分布，pCN算法和CS算法的抽样效率较高，延迟拒绝MMH算法次之；采用CS算法和延迟拒绝MMH算法进行子集模拟得到的失效概率精度较高且变异性较低；增加子集模拟中间状态样本量可以提高失效概率计算精度并降低其变异性。     

基于超声导波SC-DTW的金属板微损检测方法

针对金属板材的质量控制与服役性能评估问题,在对金属板材微损伤进行超声导波检测的基础上,结合形状上下文(shape context,SC)与动态时间规整方法对其损伤劣化程度进行量化评估.该方法以无损Lamb波信号为基准,采用动态时间规划(dynamic time warping,DWT)算法对损伤信号进行相似匹配分析对比,确定基准信号与损伤信号的最佳匹配路径.引入SC的轮廓识别方法对Lamb波的局部波形信息进行统计分析,以波形形状距离代替传统欧氏距离匹配方法,解决DTW相似匹配中的病态对齐问题.最后,将无损Lamb波与损伤Lamb波信号间SC-DTW匹配距离作为损伤程度的量化指标,采用随机闭合裂纹的有限元仿真模型和铝板弯折实验对所提出方法进行验证,结果表明,基于Lamb波SC-DTW的损伤量化指数对铝板早期裂纹具有较高的敏感性和较好的量化表征能力.该方法无需对波包进行识别,也不必进行复杂的特征提取,具有简单高效和抗噪声能力强等优点,在金属板服役性能评估与质量控制中有较好的实用性和推广价值.

Stabilization for Schrödinger Equation with Internal Damping and Boundary Disturbance

In this paper, the stabilization for Schrödinger equation subject to internal damping and boundary disturbance at the control end is investigated. Due to its immeasurability, the nonlinear observer system is designed to obtain the state information, and the existence of weak solution and its convergence for the nonlinear observer system are proved. The feedback control is realized by the backstepping transformation. In addition, the adaptive disturbance rejection control is applied to estimate the disturbance. According to the observer and disturbance estimation, the feedback control is finally designed to stabilize the system asymptotically.
