Synthesis of covalently bonded reduced graphene oxide-Fe3O4 nanocomposites for efficient electromagnetic wave absorption

High-performance electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbers,covalently bonded reduced graphene oxide-Fe3O4 nanocomposites (rGO-Fe3O4),are synthesized via hydrothermal reaction,amidation reaction and reduction process.The microstructure,surface element composition and morphology of rGO-Fe3O4 nanocomposites are characterized and corresponding EM wave absorption properties are analyzed in great detail.It demonstrates that Fe3O4 nanoparticles are successfully covalently grafted onto graphene by amide bonds.When the mass ratio of rGO and Fe3O4 is 2∶1 (sample S2),the absorber exhibits the excellent EM wave absorption performance that the maximum reflection loss (RL) reaches up to-48.6 dB at 14.4 GHz,while the effective absorption bandwidth (RL＜-10 dB) is 6.32 GHz (11.68-18.0 GHz) with a matching thickness of 2.1 mm.Furthermore,radar cross section (RCS) simulation calculation is also adopted to evaluate the ability of absorbers to scatter EM waves,which proves again that the absorption performance of absorber S2 is optimal.The outstanding EM wave absorption performance is attributed to the synergistic effect between dielectric and magnetic loss,good attenuation ability and excellent impedance matching.Moreover,covalent bonds considered to be carrier channels can facilitate electron migration,adjust EM parameters and then enhance EM wave absorption performance.This work provides a possible method for preparing efficient EM wave absorbers.     

Adaptive L2 control of nonlinear systems using neural networks

An adaptive neural network controller is developed to achieve output-tracking of a class of nonlinear systems. The global L2 stability of the closed-loop system is established. The proposed control design overcomes the limitation of the conventional adaptive neural control design where the modeling error brought by neural networks is assumed to be bounded over a compact set.Moreover,the generalized matching conditions are also relaxed in the proposed L2 control design as the gains for the external disturbances entering the system are allowed to have unknown upper bounds.     

Performance Comparison of Long-Wave Infrared Imaging Spectrometer Between Dyson Form and Offner Form

In view of the difficulties in traditional long-wave infrared imaging spectrometer which is hard to realize a high signal-to-noise ratio and miniaturization as well under the weak remote sensing signal,Offner convex grating spectrometer and Dyson concave grating spectrometer,both having concentric structure,are designed and analyzed in the band of 8-12 μm. The diffraction angle expressions of the two spectrometers are obtained and the diffraction characteristics are acquired. Both of the spectrometers are designed in Zemax environment under different F-numbers and different grating constants with the same slit,spatial resolution,spectral resolution and detector. The results show that Dyson grating spectrometer possesses the advantages of higher throughput and smaller volume, and Offner grating spectrometer possesses the advantage of more accessible material and the absence of chromatic aberration. The differences between Dyson form and Offner form show that the former is a better choice in the long-wave infrared imaging spectrometer.     

EFFECT OF Na,K AND Ce ON CRACK PROPAGATION RESISTANCE FOR ALLOY 8090

The crack propagation resistance for alloy 8090 sheet decreases with the increase of content ofNa and K impurities.An improvement over the fracture toughness and crack initiation resist-ance for the alloy containing Na and K within certain limit may be made by adding 0.05%Ce.This beneficial modification would not be manifested if the alloy contained more Na andK.One of the reasons why Na and K injure the toughness of the alloy might be due to thatthey cause the precipitation of T_1 phase along grain and subgrain boundaries and acceleratethe abnormal growth of recystallized grains.     

Effect of ball milling process on the microstructure of titanium-nanohydroxyapatite composite powder

Titaninm-nanohydroxyapatite （Ti-nHA） composite powders, composed of titanium with 10 vol.% and 20 vol.% of nano-hydroxyapatite, were milled in a planetary ball mill using alcohol media to avoid excessive heat. XRD and SEM were performed for characterization of the microstructure, and the homogeneity of Ti/HA nanocomposite powder was evaluated by EPMA with prolonged ball milling time. The results show that under the condition of wet milling, the grain size of Ti-nHA composite powders is decreased with the increase in ball milling time and the amount of the addition of nHA. While for milling of 30 h, the nanocomposite powder with free structure, which consists of the nano-hydroxyapatite （nHA） particles and titanium （Ti） phase, is obtained. Three stages of milling can be observed from the dement mapping of Ti, Ca, and P by EPMA; meanwhile, it is found that the nHA would be more homogenously distributed after milling for 30 h.

Network Sorting Algorithm of Multi-Frequency Signal with Adaptive SNR

An signal noise ratio (SNR) adaptive sorting algorithm using the time-frequency (TF) sparsity of frequency-hopping (FH) signal is proposed in this paper.Firstly,the Gabor transformation is used as TF transformation in the system and a sorting model is established under undetermined condition;then the SNR adaptive pivot threshold setting method is used to find the TF single source.The mixed matrix is estimated according to the TF matrix of single source.Lastly,signal sorting is realized through improved subspace projection combined with relative power deviation of source.Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that this algorithm has good effectiveness and performance.     

Synthesis and characterization of 2,5-bis[4-(2-arylvinyl)phenyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazoles with two-photon fluorescence properties

Four novel 2,5-bis[4-(2-arylvinyl)phenyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazoles that exhibit strong two-photon absorption and enhanced two-photon excited fluorescence were designed and synthesized based on push-core-pull-core-push  molecules built from embedding electron-transporting 1,3,4-oxadiazole in aromatic conjugated system through Wittig-Horner reaction. Their chemical structures were determined to show trans-vinylene character according to infrared (IR) and ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra. A very effective energy transfer from the excited units to the ?-conjugated bridging unit can enhance the two-photon absorption and two-photon fluorescence.     

Comparative studies of adsorbed CO and methanol electrooxidation on carbon supported Pt and PtRu catalysts in acid solution

1. Introduction Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) have con-siderable advantages compared to gas feed (H2/air) polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells [1-2]. The hydrogen PEM fuel cells use gaseous hy-drogen as fuel. But there is no source and infra-structure established yet for hydrogen distribution and storage, neither as a liquid nor as a gas. How-ever, the DMFC, similar to a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), uses methanol fuel directly for electric power generation …     

First-principles calculation of phase equilibria and phase separation of the Fe-Ni alloy system

Theoretical investigation of the phase equilibria of the Fe-Ni alloy has been performed by combining the FLAPW total energy calculations and the Cluster Variation Method through the Cluster Expansion Method. The calculations have proved the stabilization of the LIE phase at 1：3 stoichiometry, which is in agreement with the experimental result, and predicted the existence of L1 0 as a stable phase below 550 K; this L1 0 phase has been missing in the conventional phase diagram. The calculations are extended to the Fe-rich region that is characterized by a wide range phase separation and has drawn considerable attention because of the intriguing Invar property associated with a Fe concentration of 65%. To reveal the origin of the phase separation, a P-V curve in an entire concentration range is derived by the second derivative of free energy functional of the disordered phase with respect to the volume. The calculation confirmed that the phase separation is caused by the breakdown of the mechanical-stability criterion. The newly calculated phase separation line combined with the L1 0 and L12Eorder-disordered phase boundaries provides phase equilibria in the wider concentration range of the system. Furthermore, a coefficient of thermal expansion （CTE） is attempted by incorporating the thermal vibration effect through harmonic approximation of the Debye-Gruneisen model. The Invar behavior has been reproduced, and the origin of this anomalous volume change has been discussed.
