Extension of domains of states

We deal with categorical aspects of the extensions of generalized probability measures. In particular, we study various domains of fuzzy sets, describe the relationships between σ-fields of crisp sets and generated Łukasiewicz tribes of measurable functions, and mention some probabilistic aspects. D-posets and sequential continuity play an important role.

Probing into Reverse Bias Dark Current in Perovskite Photodiodes: Critical Role of Surface Defects

Minimizing reverse bias dark current density (J_dark) while retaining high external quantum efficiency is crucial for promising applications of perovskite photodiodes, and it remains challenging to elucidate the ultimate origin of J_dark. It is demonstrated in this study that the surface defects induced by iodine vacancies are the main cause of J_dark in perovskite photodiodes. In a targeted way, the surface defects are thoroughly passivated through a simple treatment with butylamine hydroiodide to form ultrathin 2D perovskite on its 3D bulk. In the passivated perovskite photodiodes, J_dark as low as 3.78 × 10^-10 A cm^-2 at -0.1 V is achieved, and the photoresponse is also enhanced, especially at low light intensities. A combination of the two improvements realizes high specific detectivity up to 1.46 × 10¹² Jones in the devices. It is clarified that the trap states induced by the surface defects can not only raise the generation-recombination current density associated with the Shockley–Read–Hall mechanisms in the dark (increasing J_dark), but also provide additional carrier recombination paths under light illumination (decreasing photocurrent). The critical role of surface defects on J_dark of perovskite photodiodes suggests that making trap-free perovskite thin films, for example, by fine preparation and/or surface engineering, is a top priority for high-performance perovskite photodiodes.     

Kinetically Accelerating Elementary Steps via Bridged Ru-H State for the Hydrogen-Evolution in Anion-Exchange Membrane Electrolyzer

Designing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts for facilitating its sluggish adsorption kinetics is crucial in generating green hydrogen via sustainable water electrolysis. Herein, a high-performance ultra-low Ruthenium (Ru) catalyst is developed consisting of atomically-layered Ru nanoclusters with adjacent single Ru sites, which executs a bridging-Ru-H activation strategy to kinetically accelerate the HER elementary steps. Owing to its optimal electronic structure and unique adsorption configuration, the hybrid Ru catalyst simultaneously displayed a drastically reduced overpotential of 16 mV at 10 mA cm⁻² as well as a low Tafel slope of 35.2 mV dec⁻¹ in alkaline electrolyte. When further coupled with a commercial IrO₂ anode catalyst, the ensembled anion-exchange membrane water electrolyzer achievs a current density of 1.0 A cm⁻² at a voltage of only 1.70 V_cell. In situ spectroscopic analysis verified that Ru single atom and atomically-layered Ru nanoclusters in the hybrid materials play a critical role in facilitating water dissociation and weakening *H adsorption, respectively. Theoretical calculations further elucidate the underlaying mechanism, suggesting that the dissociated proton at the single atom Ru site orients itself adjacently with Ru nanoclusters in a bridged structure through targeted charge transfer, thus promoting Volmer-Heyrovsky dynamics and boosting the HER activity.     

Proximity-Induced Fully Ferromagnetic Order with Eightfold Magnetic Anisotropy in Heavy Transition Metal Oxide CaRuO3

Ferromagnetic materials with a strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) have attracted much attention in recent years because of their exotic properties and potential applications in energy-efficient spintronics. However, such materials are scarce in nature. Here, a proximity-induced paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition for the heavy transition metal oxide CaRuO₃ in (001)-(LaMnO₃/CaRuO₃) superlattices is reported. Anomalous Hall effect is observed in the temperature range up to 180 K. Maximal anomalous Hall conductivity and anomalous Hall angle are as large as ∼15 Ω⁻¹ cm⁻¹ and ∼0.93%, respectively, by one to two orders of magnitude larger than those of the typical 3d ferromagnetic oxides such as La_0.67Sr_0.33MnO₃. Density functional theory calculations indicate the existence of avoid band crossings in the electronic band structure of the ferromagnetic CRO layer, which enhances Berry curvature thus strong anomalous Hall effects. Further evidences from polarized neutron reflectometry show that the CaRuO₃ layers are in a fully ferromagnetic state (∼0.8 μ_B/Ru), in sharp contrast to the proximity-induced canted antiferromagnetic state in 5d oxides SrIrO₃ and CaIrO₃ (∼0.1 μ_B/Ir). More than that, the magnetic anisotropy of the (001)-(LaMnO₃/CaRuO₃) superlattices is eightfold symmetric, showing potential applications in the technology of multistate data storage.

基于无人机影像的电网绝缘子自爆识别

电网因其在电能传输方面的关键性作用,在我国民生项目建设领域一直扮演着至关重要的角色。电网杆塔上的绝缘子一旦发生自爆(也称“缺陷”),绝缘子会自动剥落,输电线路就会产生安全隐患,严重时会降低输电线路的运行寿命,甚至会引发供电中断,发生大范围的停电事故,造成巨大的财产损失。目前,主流的巡检方法为人工巡检,该方法不仅耗时耗力,而且也存在一定主观出错率,已不适用于目前电路巡检的实际情况。本设计采用YOLO V5网络模型,对无人机航拍影像中绝缘子串及绝缘子自爆进行自动识别。首先通过平移、翻转、裁剪等,对航拍绝缘子影像数据集进行数据增广,并对增广后的数据集在LabelImg中进行标注,然后利用YOLO V5网络模型对绝缘子串及绝缘子自爆进行识别,最后采用PyQt5框架在PyCharm中设计了绝缘子自爆识别的系统界面,对模型进行调用,实现了绝缘子串及绝缘子自爆识别。本设计采用从网络上下载、国家电网提供、数据增广所得到的500张无人机航拍影像作为数据集,对所得数据集进行人工标注,再使用YOLO V5网络模型进行训练和测试,结果表明YOLO V5网络模型对绝缘子串具有较高的识别精度,最高识别精度为90.2%,对绝缘子自爆的最高检测精度为80.8%。这说明了YOLO V5网络模型在绝缘子串识别方面有较好的表现,但是由于训练集中绝缘子自爆的样本影像数量有限,所以该网络模型对绝缘子的自爆识别存在一定局限性,本实验能够部分代替人力实现电网绝缘子智能巡检,提高了检测效率。     

Mechanical activation-assisted electro-thermal explosion synthesis of the Ti2AlC phase

This study deals with the synthesis of the Ti₂AlC phase using the Electro-Thermal Explosion under Pressure with Confinement (ETEPC) technique. The effects of the ETEPC technique and the milling process parameters on the TiC_x phase content and the formation mechanism of the Ti₂AlC phase were investigated. The latter is mainly affected by the morphology of the powder mixture and aluminum melted amount. The optimization of the above parameters allowed the achievement of the desired reaction, leading to the formation of the Ti₂AlC phase with a purity of about 97?wt%. The results clearly demonstrate that the ETEPC process enables one to control both time and material synthesis temperature.     

Shape design of cerium oxide nanoparticles for enhancement of enzyme mimetic activity in therapeutic applications

Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CONPs), widely used in catalytic applications owing to their robust redox reaction, are now being considered in therapeutic applications based on their enzyme mimetic properties such as catalase and super oxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic activities. In therapeutic applications, the emerging demand for CONPs with low cytotoxicity, high cost efficiency, and high enzyme mimetic capability necessitates the exploration of alternative synthesis and effective material design. This study presents a room temperature aqueous synthesis for low-cost production of shape-selective CONPs without potentially harmful organic substances, and additionally, investigates cell viability and catalase and SOD mimetic activities. This synthesis, at room temperature, produced CONPs with particular planes: {111}/{100} nanopolyhedra, {100} nano/submicron cubes, and {111}/{100} nanorods that grew in [110] longitudinal direction. Enzymatic activity assays indicated that nanopolyhedra with a high concentration of Ce⁴⁺ ions promoted catalase mimetic activity, while nanocubes and nanorods with high Ce³⁺ ion concentrations enhanced SOD mimetic activity. This is the first study indicating that shape and facet configuration design of CONPs, coupled with the retention of dominant, specific Ce valence states, potentiates enzyme mimetic activities. These findings may be utilized for CONP design aimed at enhancing enzyme mimetic activities in therapeutic applications.

The experimental and numerical impacts of geometrical parameters of conical shock tube on the function,maximum pressure and generative impulses to expose equivalent mass and behavioral equation

One of the methods to investigate the phenomenon of explosion underwater and its impact on the structures is to use the conical shock tube. These tubes produce a lot of pressure using a tiny explosive charge. In this essay, the geometry of the established/manufactured explosive shock tube is demonstrated first and the results of the experiments operating the tube is presented. Then, the explosion of a given amount of explosive charge in the conical shock tube is studied by benefiting the LS‐DYNA code. The numerical simulation is done by Lagrange‐Oiler selected multi‐materials solutions. To ensure the authenticity of the selected method in the software, the results of the stimulated model is compared with the experimental outcomes accordingly, after accrediting the accuracy of the results, the stimulating and scrutinizing the effects of geometrical parameters on the function of explosive shock tubes is proceeded. In this research, the effect of the cone head angel on the produced pressure inside the shock tube is analyzed first. Then, the function of shock tubes with different lengths is checked. Moreover, after changing the scale of the explosive charge and studying the outcome, stating the reasons for changes in each parameter and examining the effect of the relation between the explosive proportion and the water volume inside the shock tube, an equation for the equivalent mass for all sock tubes with different angels is exhibited and the existing theoretical relation is revised. Finally, by examining the pressure and impulses changes in different intervals, an equation is presented to anticipate the pressure and impulses in different shock tubes.
