Improving the throughput of atomic force microscope (AFM) lithography is an important success factor for employing it in nanolithography applications. The conventional motion of the AFM tube scanner is usually driven by triangular-shaped signals, but it is limited in speed due to mechanical instability of the scanner at the turning points. Here, we show that high-speed lithography is achievable using not only a piezo tube driven by a sinusoidal waveform signal but also highly sensitive noble organic resists including a photo acid generator. Cross-linked polymer nanostructures applying sinusoidal waveform driving have also shown improvements in the linearity and uniformity of line patterns. 相似文献
We propose a model for a scalable quantum computing in the circuit quantum electrodynamics architecture. In the Kagome lattice of qubits, three qubits are connected to each other through a superconducting three-junction flux qubit at the vertices of the lattice. By controlling one of the three-Josephson-junction energies of the intervening flux qubit, we can achieve the circulator function that couples arbitrary pair of two qubits among three. This selective coupling enables the interaction between two nearest neighbor qubits in the Kagome lattice, and further the two-qubit gate operation between any pair of qubits in the whole lattice by performing consecutive nearest neighbor two-qubit gates. 相似文献
For wearable and implantable electronics applications, developing intrinsically stretchable polymer semiconductor is advantageous, especially in the manufacturing of large‐area and high‐density devices. A major challenge is to simultaneously achieve good electrical and mechanical properties for these semiconductor devices. While crystalline domains are generally needed to achieve high mobility, amorphous domains are necessary to impart stretchability. Recent progresses in the design of high‐performance donor–acceptor polymers that exhibit low degrees of energetic disorder, while having a high fraction of amorphous domains, appear promising for polymer semiconductors. Here, a low crystalline, i.e., near‐amorphous, indacenodithiophene‐co‐benzothiadiazole (IDTBT) polymer and a semicrystalline thieno[3,2‐b]thiophene‐diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPPTT) are compared, for mechanical properties and electrical performance under strain. It is observed that IDTBT is able to achieve both a high modulus and high fracture strain, and to preserve electrical functionality under high strain. Next, fully stretchable transistors are fabricated using the IDTBT polymer and observed mobility ≈0.6 cm2 V?1 s?1 at 100% strain along stretching direction. In addition, the morphological evolution of the stretched IDTBT films is investigated by polarized UV–vis and grazing‐incidence X‐ray diffraction to elucidate the molecular origins of high ductility. In summary, the near‐amorphous IDTBT polymer signifies a promising direction regarding molecular design principles toward intrinsically stretchable high‐performance polymer semiconductor. 相似文献
Deep reinforcement learning has the advantage of being able to encode fairly complex behaviors by collecting and learning empirical information. In the current study, we have proposed a framework for reinforcement learning in decentralized collision avoidance where each agent independently makes its decision without communication with others. In an environment exposed to various kinds of dynamic obstacles with irregular movements, mobile robot agents could learn how to avoid obstacles and reach a target point efficiently. Moreover, a path planner was integrated with the reinforcement learning-based obstacle avoidance to solve the problem of not finding a path in a specific situation, thereby imposing path efficiency. The robots were trained about the policy of obstacle avoidance in environments where dynamic characteristics were considered with soft actor critic algorithm. The trained policy was implemented in the robot operating system (ROS), tested in virtual and real environments for the differential drive wheel robot to prove the effectiveness of the proposed method.

An electronic (e‐) skin is expected to experience significant wear and tear over time. Therefore, self‐healing stretchable materials that are simultaneously soft and with high fracture energy, that is high tolerance of damage or small cracks without propagating, are essential requirements for the realization of robust e‐skin. However, previously reported elastomers and especially self‐healing polymers are mostly viscoelastic and lack high mechanical toughness. Here, a new class of polymeric material crosslinked through rationally designed multistrength hydrogen bonding interactions is reported. The resultant supramolecular network in polymer film realizes exceptional mechanical properties such as notch‐insensitive high stretchability (1200%), high toughness of 12 000 J m?2, and autonomous self‐healing even in artificial sweat. The tough self‐healing materials enable the wafer‐scale fabrication of robust and stretchable self‐healing e‐skin devices, which will provide new directions for future soft robotics and skin prosthetics. 相似文献
