Fluorescence enhancement and cofluorescence in complexes of terbium(Ⅲ) with trimellitic acid

The fluorescence of terbium (Ⅲ) was enhanced by about three orders of magnitude in the presence of trimellitic acid (benzene-l, 2, 4-tricarboxylic acid (TLA)) in aqueous solution at pH 6. The fluorescence intensity could be greatly increased when the system of Tb3+-TLA was treated with La3+ (or Gd3+) and TritonX- 100. The addition of La3+ (or Gd3+) enhances the fluorescence of the system by about two orders of magnitude due to cofluorescence, and the TritonX-100 micellar medium plays an important role for stabilization of the system. Both the intermolecular energy transfer mode and intramolecular energy transfer mode are responsible for the mechanism of fluorescence enhancement. In the optimum conditions, the fluorescence intensity is a linear function of Tb3+ concentration in the range of 7.8 × 10-9-3.6 × 10-6 mol/L for the system Tb3+-La3+-TLA and 1.0 × 10-8-4.7 × 10-6 mol/L for the system Tb3+-Gd3+-TLA, and the limits of detection are 4.6 ×10-10 mol/L and 6.0 × 10-10 mol/L, respectively.

Simulations of the dielectric constant of bonding materials and field emission properties of CNT cathodes

The effect of the dielectric constant (k) of bonding materials in a screen-printed carbon nanotube (CNT) cathode on the field enhancement factor was investigated for high-efficiency CNT cathodes using the ANSYS software. The values obtained by a simulation study were compared to the experimental results obtained for screen-printed CNT cathodes. The field enhancement factor increased as the dielectric constant decreased, reaching a maximum value at a dielectric constant of 1, the value for a vacuum. The findings indicate that the larger sheet resistance of the bonding materials, after the firing process, can be attributed to the larger emission current of the CNT cathode. From these results, it was concluded that the best bonding materials for screen-printed CNT cathodes should have a low dielectric constant and a high sheet resistance. This finding can be used as criteria for selecting bonding materials for use in CNT pastes for highly efficient CNT cathodes.

Precise control of reflection response in bandwidth‐enhanced planar antennas

In this work, the issues of bandwidth enhancement of planar antennas and the relevance of precise and automated response control through numerical optimization have been investigated. Using an example of a planar antenna with parasitic radiator we illustrate possible effects of even minor modifications of the antenna geometry (here, applied to the ground plane) on its reflection performance. In particular, a proper handling of geometry parameters may lead to considerable broadening of the antenna bandwidth. For the sake of computational efficiency, the adjustment of geometry parameters is carried out using surrogate‐based optimization methods exploiting coarse‐discretization EM simulations as the underlying low‐fidelity antenna model. Additionally, suitably defined penalty function allows us to precisely control the maximum in‐band reflection so that sufficient margin to accommodate possible manufacturing tolerances can be achieved. The optimized designs of the two antenna structures considered in this work exhibit over 1.75 GHz (>31%) and 2.15 GHz (>38%) bandwidth, respectively, for the center frequency of 5.6 GHz. Simulation results are validated using measurements of the fabricated prototypes. Comparison with state‐of‐the‐art designs is also provided. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Profile miniaturization and performance improvement of a rectangular patch antenna using magnetic metamaterial substrates

The idea of profile miniaturization and performance improvement of a rectangular patch antenna using a metamaterial substrate with large values in the real part of effective relative permeability is proposed in microwave frequency range. The volume profile of the antenna is minimized by tuning the effective relative permeability and thickness of the substrate material. The specific type of metamaterial which can be used as substrate material for the antenna miniaturization purpose is suggested. The proposed idea is validated through finite‐difference time‐domain (FDTD) simulations for sample rectangular patch antennas with metamaterial substrates at the frequency about 10 GHz. Improvement of the power directivity is found for the metamaterial substrate with large value in the real part of effective permeability. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
