Pressure-induced transparency of MgO,Al2O3, AlN,and cBN ceramics at room temperature

The in situ axial X-ray diffraction patterns of four ceramic powder samples (MgO, Al₂O₃, AlN, and cBN) that were compressed in a diamond anvil cell under uniaxial non-hydrostatic conditions were recorded. The microscopic deviatoric stress as a function of the pressure was determined from the X-ray diffraction peak broadening analysis: the curves increased approximately linearly with the pressure at the initial compression stage and then levelled off under further compression. Pressure-induced transparency was observed in all of the samples under compression, and the pressure at the turning point on the curves of the microscopic deviatoric stress versus pressure corresponded to the pressure at which the samples became transparent. Analysis of the microstructural features of the pressure-induced transparent samples indicated that the compression caused the grains to fracture, and the broken grains bonded with each other. We demonstrated that the ceramics’ pressure-induced transparency was a process during which the grains were squeezed and broken, the pores were close between the grains, and the broken grains were re-bonded under compression.     

Large domain-wall currents in epitaxial Au/BiFeO3/SrRuO3 thin-film capacitors with modulated oxygen vacancy and wall densities

Large domain wall (DW) conductivity in an insulating ferroelectric plays an important role in the future nanosensors and nonvolatile memories. However, the wall current was usually too small to drive high-speed memory circuits and other agile nanodevices requiring high output-powers. Here, a large domain-wall current of 67.8 μA in a high on/off ratio of ~4460 was observed in an epitaxial Au/BiFeO₃/SrRuO₃ thin-film capacitor with the minimized oxygen vacancy concentration. The studies from read current-write voltage hysteresis loops and piezo-response force microscope images consistently showed remaining of partially unswitched domains after application of an opposite poling voltage that increased domain wall density and wall current greatly. A theoretical model was proposed to explain the large wall current. According to this model, the domain reversal occurs with the appearance of head-to-head and tail-to-tail 180° domain walls (DWs), resulting in the formation of highly conductive wall paths. As the applied voltage increased, the domain-wall number increased to enhance the on-state current, in agreement with the measurements of current-voltage curves. This work paves a way to modulate DW currents within epitaxial Au/BiFeO₃/SrRuO₃ thin-film capacitors through the optimization of both oxygen vacancy and domain wall densities to achieve large output powers of modern domain-wall nanodevices.     

Wheel hub customization with an interactive artificial immune algorithm

With the transformation from traditional manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing, customer-oriented personalized customization has gradually become the main mode of production. Interactive algorithms determine the pros and cons of the solution via customers which can make customers better participants in the customization process. However, if the population size is expanded and the number of evolutionary iterations is too high, frequent interactions are likely to cause customer fatigue. This paper proposes an adaptive interactive artificial immune algorithm based on improved hierarchical clustering. This algorithm uses the improved hierarchical clustering algorithm to optimize generation of the initial antibodies and applies the affinity calculation method based on customer intention, adaptive crossover and mutation operators, and a multisolution reservation method based on hybrid selection strategy to the artificial immune algorithm. Via empirical research on the customized operational data of wheel hubs, the proposed method effectively solves the problem of customer fatigue, significantly improves the convergence speed of the algorithm and reduces the time cost.

     

Construction of a key-dependent message secure symmetric encryption scheme in the ideal cipher model

Key-dependent message （KDM） security is an important security issue that has attracted much research in recent years. In this paper, we present a new construction of the symmetric encryption scheme in the the ideal cipher model （ICM）; we prove that our scheme is KDM secure against active attacks with respect to arbitrary polynomialtime challenge functions. Our main idea is to introduce a universal hash function （UHF） h as a random value for each encrypfion, and then use s = h（sk） as the key of the ideal cipher F, where sk is the private key of our symmetric encryption scheme. Although many other schemes that are secure against KDM attacks have already been proposed, in both the ideal standard models, the much more significance of our paper is the simplicity in which we implement KDM security against active attacks.

Interference Shaders of Thin Films

This paper presents a systematic study of light interferences at single thin films. Based on Fresnel's law, we have derived generic expressions of reflectance and transmittance for film interference, as well as specific expressions for free thin films and films coated on transparent or opaque objects. By combining film interference and volume absorption, we have obtained the reflectances and transmittances of film‐coated thin objects such as ribbons. Illumination models for all interference cases of single thin films are presented, and they have been implemented and tested for various structures and materials.

Petromyzontidae-Biomimetic Multimodal Microneedles-Integrated Bioelectronic Catheters for Theranostic Endoscopic Surgery

Current catheter devices in minimally invasive surgery still possess limited functional options, lacking multimodal integration of both sensing and therapy. Catheter devices usually operate outside the tissue, incapable to detect intra-tissue biochemical information for accurate localization and assessment of lesions during surgery. Inspired by the feature and functions of Petromyzontidae, here a multimodal core-shell microneedles-integrated bioelectronic catheter (MNIBC) for tissue-penetrating theranostics in endoscopic surgery is developed. The microneedle (MN) device possesses individually addressable functionality at single-MN tip resolution, enabling multiplex functions (a total of 11 functions distributed in three types of catheters) including biochemical sensing, myoelectric modulation, electroporation, and drug delivery in a submucosal environment. The MNIBC is prepared through hybrid fabrication and dimensionality reduction strategies, where the MN electrodes are functionalized with an MXene-carbon nanotube (MXene-CNT)-based electron mediator, addressing the challenge of reduced electrode sensitivity on ultra-small MN tip. The functionalities of MNIBC are demonstrated both ex vivo and in vivo on anesthetized rabbits via laparoscopy, simulated cystoscopy, and laparotomy. The MNIBC can effectively detect intra-tissue biochemical signals in the bladder, and offers localized electroporation and intra-tissue drug delivery for precise treatments of lesions. The versatile features of the MNIBC present a highly advanced platform for precise surgeries.     

Optimisation of the spark plasma sintering process for high volume fraction SiCp/Al composites by orthogonal experimental design

Based on orthogonal experimental design (OED), the effects of the sintering pressure, sintering temperature and holding time on the mechanical properties of 50 vol% silicon carbide particle (SiCp)/2024Al composites prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) were investigated. The sintering pressure had the greatest effect on the density and bending strength of the material among these three factors, followed by sintering temperature and holding time. The optimised process conditions for producing the 50 vol% SiCp/2024Al were sintering at 550 °C for 5 min under 40 MPa, which resulted in a composite material with a density of 99.7% and good interface bonding with a comparatively high bending strength of 766.65 MPa. This work provides a promising method to produce high volume fraction composites that can meet high strength requirements.
