Infrared emission properties and energy transfer in ZnO-SiO2:Yb composites

Intense near-infrared emission at 1 μm has been obtained in ZnO-SiO₂:Yb³⁺ composites via a facile sol-gel method upon broadband ultraviolet light excitation. Systematic optical measurements including static and time-resolved photoluminescence have been performed to elucidate the energy transfer from ZnO quantum dots to Yb³⁺ ions. The dependence of energy transfer efficiency on Yb³⁺ concentration has been investigated in detail. Codoping with Li⁺ ions leads to about twice enhancement of the near-infrared luminescence intensity around 1 μm at room temperature. The enhancement in the luminescence intensity could be mostly attributed to the modification of the local symmetry around Yb³⁺ ions by codoping with Li⁺ ions.

Molecular dynamics study on nanotube-resonators with mass migration applicable to both frequency-tuner and data-storage-media

We investigated the cantilevered carbon-nanotube-resonator including electromigratively movable nanoparticle via classical molecular dynamics simulations and continuum model. The change of the effective mass value, which was closely correlated with the position change of the encapsulated nanoparticle, could be regressed by a power function, the resonance frequency of the carbon-nanotube-resonator could be tuned by controlling the nanoparticle’s position, and the possible frequency-shift-ranges then reached 18–85%. The suggested device could be served as a data-storage-media for electromechanical nonvolatile-memory as well as a frequency-tuner.     

Degenerate problems of optimal control. II

The paper is the second part of the review of the results obtained by the special theory of the degenerate problems of optimal control and its applications, including the newest ones. Consideration was given to the methods based on the rearrangement of the degenerate problems in the smaller-order regular derivative problems, the main types of solutions of the derivative problems, and the issues of their realization as the generalized solutions of the original problems. The generalized conditions for their optimality were derived. Examples, both methodological and applied, were presented to demonstrate the efficiency of these methods.     

Mechanically strong conducting hydrogels with special double-network structure

Mechanically strong conducting hydrogels composed of poly(acrylamide) (PAAm) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT-PSS) have been synthesized through the construction of a special double-network (sDN) structure. The novelty of the sDN hydrogels lies in the introduction of PEDOT-PSS semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) hydrogel as the second network. Based on the experimental results and the double-network theory, an additional strengthening effect resulting from the formation of the PEDOT clusters in a three-step fracture process is proposed. The applicability of as-prepared PAAm/PEDOT-PSS sDN hydrogels in electromechanical actuators is also briefly discussed.     

A physics-based simulation approach for cooperative erection activities

Cooperative erection activities are critical to projects which involve the erection of heavy loads or the installation of special equipment. Detailed simulation on computer prior to construction can identify constructability problems, and subsequently avoided during actual erections. This paper describes an integrated approach for simulating the detailed motions of cranes. This research develops a physics-based model that follows the principle of closed-form forward kinematics and constraint-based dynamics to present the dual-crane mechanism mathematically — a non-trivial task. This model can be used to analyze the inputs from the users (i.e. virtual crane operators) and simultaneously compute the cables sway and reaction of collisions. We also implemented the model on computer and developed a simulation system, Erection Director, to render realistic cooperative erection activities. A demonstration of simulating two-crane lift has been built and three performance tests including a small building (840 elements), a medium building (1937 elements) and a large building (2682 elements) validate the feasibility of the proposed approach. The test results indicate that Erection Director can support real-time and physics-based visualization of cooperative erections.
