Dense and core-rim structured B4C-TiB2 ceramics with Mo-Co-WC additive

B₄C-TiB₂ ceramics (TiB₂ ranging 5~70 vol%) with Mo-Co-WC as the sintering additive were prepared by spark plasma sintering. In comparison with B₄C-TiB₂ without additive, the enhanced densification was evident in the sintered specimen with Mo-Co-WC additive. Core-rim structured grain was observed around TiB₂ grains. The interface of the rim between TiB₂ and B₄C phases demonstrated different feature: the inner borderline of the rim exhibited a smooth feature, whereas a sharp curved grain boundary was observed between the rim and the B₄C grain. The formation mechanism is discussed: the epitaxial growth of (Ti,Mo,W)B₂ rim around the TiB₂ core may occur as a result of the solid solution and dissolution-precipitation between TiB₂ phase and the sintering additive. It was revealed that the fracture toughness increased as the content of TiB₂ content increased, alongside the decreased hardness. B₄C-30 vol% TiB₂ specimen demonstrated the optimal combination of mechanical properties, reaching Vickers hardness of 24.3 GPa and fracture toughness of 3.33 MPa·m^1/2.     

Broad-Spectral-Range Sustainability and Controllable Excitation of Hyperbolic Phonon Polaritons in α-MoO3

Hyperbolic phonon polaritons (HPhPs) in orthorhombic-phase molybdenum trioxide (α-MoO₃) show in-plane hyperbolicity, great wavelength compression, and ultralong lifetime, therefore holding great potential in nanophotonic applications. However, its polaritonic response in the far-infrared (FIR) range remains unexplored due to challenges in experimental characterization. Here, monochromated electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) in a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) is used to probe HPhPs in α-MoO₃ in both mid-infrared (MIR) and FIR frequencies and correlate their behaviors with microstructures and orientations. It is found that low structural symmetry leads to various phonon modes and multiple Reststrahlen bands (RBs) over a broad spectral range (over 70 meV) and in different directions (55–63 meV and 119–125 meV along the b-axis, 68–106 meV along the c-axis, and 101–121 meV along the a-axis). These HPhPs can be selectively excited by controlling the direction of swift electrons. These findings provide new opportunities in nanophotonic and optoelectronic applications, such as directed light propagation, hyperlenses, and heat transfer.     

基于门控联合池化自编码器的通用性文本表征

为了学习文本的语义表征,以往的研究者主要依赖于复杂的循环神经网络(recurrent neural networks, RNNs)和监督式学习方法。该文提出了一种门控联合池化自编码器(gated mean-max AAE)用于学习中英文的文本语义表征。该文的自编码器完全通过多头自注意力机制(multi-head self-attention mechanism)来构建编码器和解码器网络。在编码阶段,提出了均值—最大化(mean-max)联合表征策略,即同时运用平均池化(mean pooling)和最大池化(max pooling)操作来捕获输入文本中多样性的语义信息。为促使联合池化表征可以全面地指导重构过程,解码器采用门控操作进行动态关注。通过在大规模中英文未标注语料上训练模型,获得了高质量的句子编码器。在重构文本段落的实验中,该文模型在实验效果和计算效率上均超越了传统的RNNs模型。将公开训练好的文本编码器,使其可以方便地运用于后续的研究。     

High-resolution electron microscopy of the twinning and intergrowth in Ca4Al6SO16 and Ca3SrAl6SO16

The microstructures of unhydrated calcium aluminosulphate Ca₄Al₆SO₁₆ and Ca₃SrAl₆SO₁₆ have been studied by high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM). The results showed that twinning and twinned slabs could be introduced taking the [1 1 2] direction as the twin axis so that it seems to be coincident with the law of twinning formed in body-centred cubic structures. A previously reported superlattice with a repeat period twice that of the fundamental structure along the 〈1 1 0〉 direction has also been found in both matrix and twin variants. The close intergrowth of Ca₃SrAl₆SO₁₆ and another phase, possibly Sr₃Al₂O₆ existing as an inclusion between these two twin variants, was determined and clearly revealed by electron diffraction and HREM images. The coherent interphase boundaries and orientation relationship between them can also be deduced.

A 20-Gb/s silicon bipolar 1:4-demultiplexer IC

This paper presents a 20-Gb/s 1:4-demultiplexer for future fiber-optic transmission systems. It uses an 0.4-μm emitter double polysilicon 21-GHz f_T Si bipolar foundry process. This is the highest data rate of a 1:4-DEMUX reported so far in any technology. The 1:4-DEMUX features a tree-type architecture with one frequency divider and a channel switch circuit. The circuit design was carefully optimized to achieve high speed and moderate power dissipation. It consumes 1.4 W with a single -4.5-V supply

On GID-Testable Two-Dimensional Iterative Arrays

A new approach is presented for easily testable two-dimensional iterative arrays.It is an improvement of GI-testability (Group Identical testability)and is referred to as GID-testability (Group Identical and Different testability).In a GID-testable two-dimensional array,the primary x and y outputs are organized into groups and every group has more than one output.This is similar to the GI-testable arrays.However,GID-testability not only ensures that identical test responses can be obtained from every output in the same group when an array is fault free,but also ensures that at least one output has different test responses (from the other outputs in a group)when a cell in the array is faulty.Therefore,all faults can be detected under the assumption of a single faulty cell model.It is proved that an arbitrary two-dimensional iterative array is GID-testable if seven x-states and seven y-states are added to the original flow table of the basic cell of the array.GID-testability simplifies the response verification of built-in-self-testing in a way similar to PI-and GI-testability^[6-9].Therefore,it is suitable for BIST design.     

新型快挥发带电清洗剂对支柱复合绝缘子的溶胀效应及改进

直流硅橡胶绝缘子积污后对其绝缘性能和使用寿命有重要影响,一般通过带电清洗剂进行清洗,而在带电清洗剂下的溶胀效应带来的不利影响是有待解决的关键问题.对1、2号两种带电清洗剂挥发速率、硅橡胶在不同带电清洗剂清洗前后的溶胀性以及憎水性的变化进行了试验研究,并探讨了相应的机制.结果表明:1、2号带电清洗剂在25℃时的挥发速率分别为1095.78 g/(h·m2)和108.01 g/(h·m2);硅橡胶溶胀度随时间的增加而增大,溶胀10 h后达到饱和,饱和后的硅橡胶溶胀指数分别为55％和130％;1号带电清洗剂会削弱硅橡胶的憎水性,经过10 min浸泡,接触角下降了14％,2号带电清洗剂能增强硅橡胶的憎水性,经相同时间浸泡,接触角上升了6％,因而挥发性优良的带电清洗剂可以降低溶胀对硅橡胶绝缘子的不利影响.
