The method is based on effective medium theory and the method of designing single layer antireflection coating. The polarization performance of PBS is discussed by rigorous couple-wave analysis (RCWA) method at a wavelength of 1550 nm. The result shows that sub-wavelength metal rectangular grating is characterized by a high reflectivity, like metal films for TE polarization, and high transmissivity, like dielectric films for TM polarization. The optimal design accords well with the results simulated by RCWA method.展开更多

After reviewing the available equations, two thickness-to-width ratio Independent equations that are symmetric with respect to the two dimensions are obtained for evaluating the maximum torsion stress of rectangular cross-section beams. Based on the resulting equations, outside lamina emergent torsional joints are analyzed and some useful design Insights are obtained. These equations, together with the previous work on symmetric equations for calculating torsional compliance, provide a convenient and effective way for designing and optimizing torsional beams in compliant mechanisms.展开更多

Seve...In this paper, a novel method of a subwavelength binary simple periodic rectangular structure is presented to realize even beam splitting by combining the rigorous couple-wave analysis with the genetic algorithm. Several even splitters in the terahertz region were designed and one of the silicon-based beam splitters designed to separate one incident beam into four emergent beams has total efficiency up to 92.23 %. Zero-order diffraction efficiency was reduced to less than 0.192 % and the error of uniformity decreased to 6.51 9 10-6. These results break the limitation of even beam splitting based on the traditional scalar theory. In addition, the effects of the incident angle, wavelength, as well as the polarizing angle on the diffraction efficiency and uniformity were also investigated.展开更多

The analytical solutions, derived with a direct displacement method, are valid for any functionally graded material(FGM) with its properties varying independently in a continuous manner along the thickness direction. For homogeneous materials, these solutions are degenerated to the ones available in the literature. Interesting relations are also found between the solutions for a functionally graded magneto-electro-elastic(FGMEE) circular plate and those for an FGMEE rectangular beam, and even those for a functionally graded elastic beam when only the elastic displacements are considered. The beam solutions are also derived using a direct displacement method. Numerical examples are presented to verify the present analytical solutions, show the effects of material heterogeneity and multi-field coupling, and indicate the correspondence between the plate solutions and beam solutions.展开更多

The earthquake resistant capacity of the joint is influenced by infilled concrete, stiffener length and relative dimensions of column and beam. It is found that the hysteresis curves obtained in the experiment are full and the joints have a good energy dissipation capacity. The nonlinear finite element models are also used to analyze the hysteresis behavior of the joints under reversed cyclic loads using ANSYS 8.0. The influences of the stiffener length and the infilled concrete are analyzed. Analytical results show that the stiffener length and the infilled concrete are critical for the joints. Furthermore, the skeleton curves of the finite element models are in good agreement with those of experiments.展开更多

The conventional patch antenna fabricated on common substrates always produces quite broader E plane pattern compared to its H plane. In the present investigation, the same microstrip antenna is designed on air substrate with a view to develop an efficient feed for parabolic reflector antenna, which shows an excellent radiation pattern with symmetrical 3 dB beam widths at its both E and H plane. The present antenna compared to conventional structure to show its excellence in the beam performance is presented. The complete quantitative analysis to explore such radiation beam characteristics for both the structures (conventional and the present one) is also presented in this paper. An easy and handful relationship between the length of patch antenna and its fringing length for different types of substrate is established in the background of 3 dB beam widths. The proposed idea has been verified through a commercial software package for a patch operating in X band and a concrete physical insight into the phenomenon is developed.展开更多

The...Within the framework of continuum mechanics, the double power series ex- pansion technique is proposed, and a series of reduced one-dimensional (1D) equations for a piezoelectric semiconductor beam are obtained. These derived equations are universal, in which extension, flexure, and shear deformations are all included, and can be degen- erated to a number of special cases, e.g., extensional motion, coupled extensional and flexural motion with shear deformations, and elementary flexural motion without shear deformations. As a typical application, the extensional motion of a ZnO beam is analyzed sequentially. It is revealed that semi-conduction has a great effect on the performance of the piezoelectric semiconductor beam, including static deformations and dynamic be- haviors. A larger initial carrier density will evidently lead to a lower resonant frequency and a smaller displacement response, which is a little similar to the dissipative effect. Both the derived approximate equations and the corresponding qualitative analysis are general and widely applicable, which can clearly interpret the inner physical mechanism of the semiconductor in the piezoelectrics and provide theoretical guidance for further experimental design.展开更多

摘要A simple rectangular microstrip antenna on low dielectric constant substrate such as air for improved radiation beam performance is theoretically investigated. The conventional patch antenna fabricated on common substrates always produces quite broader E plane pattern compared to its H plane. In the present investigation, the same microstrip antenna is designed on air substrate with a view to develop an efficient feed for parabolic reflector antenna, which shows an excellent radiation pattern with symmetrical 3 dB beam widths at its both E and H plane. The present antenna compared to conventional structure to show its excellence in the beam performance is presented. The complete quantitative analysis to explore such radiation beam characteristics for both the structures (conventional and the present one) is also presented in this paper. An easy and handful relationship between the length of patch antenna and its fringing length for different types of substrate is established in the background of 3 dB beam widths. The proposed idea has been verified through a commercial software package for a patch operating in X band and a concrete physical insight into the phenomenon is developed.

摘要Within the framework of continuum mechanics, the double power series ex- pansion technique is proposed, and a series of reduced one-dimensional (1D) equations for a piezoelectric semiconductor beam are obtained. These derived equations are universal, in which extension, flexure, and shear deformations are all included, and can be degen- erated to a number of special cases, e.g., extensional motion, coupled extensional and flexural motion with shear deformations, and elementary flexural motion without shear deformations. As a typical application, the extensional motion of a ZnO beam is analyzed sequentially. It is revealed that semi-conduction has a great effect on the performance of the piezoelectric semiconductor beam, including static deformations and dynamic be- haviors. A larger initial carrier density will evidently lead to a lower resonant frequency and a smaller displacement response, which is a little similar to the dissipative effect. Both the derived approximate equations and the corresponding qualitative analysis are general and widely applicable, which can clearly interpret the inner physical mechanism of the semiconductor in the piezoelectrics and provide theoretical guidance for further experimental design.

摘要Liquid crystal(LC)metasurfaces offer a promising platform for programmable terahertz beam scanning,benefiting from low-power electrical driving and mature large-area fabrication.However,conventional resonant meta-atoms typically limit the modulation bandwidth to below 20 GHz,and the incident polarization must align with the LC pre-orientation to ensure high modulation depth.Here,we propose an LC metasurface that simultaneously enables polarization-multiplexing and mode-multiplexing to overcome the narrow-band and strict polarization constraints.By synergistically designing the metasurface to satisfy both electrical feeding and resonant requirements,we realize efficient excitation and pixel-wise independent control of the x-polarized magnetic dipole,y-polarized magnetic dipole,and toroidal dipole modes.Consequently,the device supports tri-band beam steering with±45°scanning angles around 0.27 THz and 0.37 THz,and ±13° around 0.81 THz,covering an overall bandwidth of 188 GHz.Our experiments verify that the incident polarization can be decoupled from the LC pre-alignment requirement,while higher-order resonant modes serve as an effective strategy to broaden the operating bandwidth without compromising spatial resolution and array size.By integrating polarization and frequency multiplexing in a programmable 48×48 active array,this work opens,to our knowledge,new avenues toward high-capacity,dynamically programmable terahertz beam manipulation.

摘要Wuhan Advanced Light Source(WALS),a fourth-generation synchrotron radiation light source operating at 1.5 GeV,is currently under design and will use a full-energy linear accelerator(LINAC)as the electron beam injector.The injection beamline adopts a three-stage scheme:First,the beam from the LINAC,which is 6 m below the storage ring,is horizontally deflected below the storage ring;second,it gradually climbs from underground to the same altitude as the storage ring;and third,the beam is delivered horizontally into the injection straight section inside the storage ring.Twiss parameter matching between the LINAC and storage ring was also completed.During the construction of the beamline,magnet manufacturing errors,installation errors,and beam injection errors from the LINAC will cause beam deviations from the predetermined ideal orbits and even particle losses.Therefore,electron beam correction is required during beam commissioning.In contrast with the single-plane beam correction used in general transfer lines,the horizontal and vertical directions of the beam are coupled in the WALS injection transfer line,which greatly increases the complexity and difficulty of beam correction.Machine learning technology has been extensively developed in recent years,and the powerful invertible neural network algorithm is expected to solve the beam commissioning challenge of the beam injection transfer line at the WALS.Therefore,an invertible neural network(INN)model has been designed and trained to simulate the beam transport and beam correction of the WALS injection beamline.By optimizing the number and positions of beam profile monitors,the accuracy of both bidirectional prediction and beam correction can be greatly improved.This method has important practical significance for the commissioning and operation of similar complex beam transport systems.

摘要High-energy,high-yield structured spin-polarized positron beams have important applications in nuclear physics,high-energy physics,and information storage.However,their generation remains a significant challenge.Here,we put forward a scheme to generate these beams using a dense relativistic electron beam interacting with a gas-filled cone-channel target.The interaction induces composite focusing fields comprising the electric field from a plasma bubble and skin-layer magnetic fields from the electron beam and displacement currents.These fields compress the seed beam to ultrahigh density,thereby inducing extreme fields that enable efficient γ-photon emission and subsequent pair production,leading to a high positron yield.Furthermore,the azimuthal topology of these fields is imprinted onto the generated positrons,creating unique azimuthal polarization.Our simulations demonstrate the generation of an azimuthally polarized positron beam with a charge of 0.63 nC,a polarization approaching 60%,and an energy conversion efficiency exceeding 3%.Our method provides a highly efficient pathway for generating azimuthally polarized positrons,paving the way for their potential applications.

摘要Bessel beams,often referred to as“nondiffractive”light,have been successfully applied in numerous fields.In this study,we integrated a Bessel beam as the illumination source into a Raman spectrometer to enhance the detection of homogeneous phases and interfaces.By simulating optical path systems,we optimized the setup to fully utilize the multi-pixel array and maximize detection sensitivity.Compared to a conventional Gaussian-beam Raman spectrometer in the 90°-scattered configuration,the upgraded Raman spectrometer employing a Bessel-like beam demonstrated a nearly 6-fold improvement in sensitivity.Additionally,it significantly suppressed background scattering interferences in the low-frequency range,thus enhancing the clarity and accuracy of spectral data.Furthermore,the capability of this spectrometer for real-space Raman imaging of heterogeneous phase interfaces was verified.This advancement not only improves the sensitivity and precision of Raman measurements but also expands the potential applications of Raman spectroscopy in studying complex systems,such as interfaces and phase boundaries,with high spatial and spectral resolution.

摘要Accurate calibration of the beam phase(i.e.,the phase of the beam arrival relative to the cavity accelerating field)is essential for maintaining the stability and efficiency of linear accelerators.Conventional offline phase-scan methods,such as theΔT phase scan and phase-scan signature matching,are typically performed during commissioning or maintenance,requiring the accelerator to be taken out of normal operation.Moreover,these methods cannot effectively track the gradual drifts caused by ambient conditions.An online beam phase calibration technique using beam-induced radio-frequency(RF)transients was initially developed at DESY for superconducting cavities operating under open-loop conditions.Extending the DESY method to normal-conducting cavities at the European Spallation Source(ESS)introduces challenges.When the beam pulse length approaches the cavity time constantτ=1∕ω0.5,whereω0.5is the cavity half bandwidth,the detuning effects distort the trajectory of the beam-induced RF transient and degrade the beam phase measurement accuracy.Furthermore,open-loop operation is generally not advisable for high-current proton linacs because of stability and safety concerns associated with the operation.To address these issues,we revisited the cavity differential equations and proposed a detuning compensation method that corrects the distorted trajectory in the in-phase/quadrature plane of the laser beam.In addition,by analyzing the initial 1.4μs transient response before low-level RF(LLRF)feedback becomes active,beam phase calibration can be achieved under closed-loop operation.The experimental results indicate that the proposed method agrees well with beam position monitor(BPM)-based measurements.This approach enables real-time beam phase monitoring without interrupting the closed-loop operation and can be adapted to similar accelerator systems.

摘要Traditional dynamic analysis of mechanical structures,often limited to individual beams or plates,fails to fully capture their dynamic behaviors.In systems where space and mass are constrained,such as the battery support structures in electric aircraft,conventional absorbers and isolators are insufficient for effective vibration control.This study simplifies the battery support structure of electric aircraft as an integrated composite beam consisting of three interconnected beams,and investigated its structural dynamics properties and nonlinear vibration control under thermal conditions caused by battery heat.The nonlinear vibration control is performed using the Nitinol steel wire ropes(Ni Ti-ST),with nonlinear damping properties.The natural frequencies of system are determined using the Rayleigh-Ritz technique.Theoretical results are validated through both Finite Element Method(FEM)and hammer tests.Moreover,the dynamic equations are derived using the Lagrange method and discretized via the Galerkin Truncation Method(GTM).The Harmonic Balance Method(HBM)is used to evaluate the vibration responses of the integrated model,with further verification through the Runge-Kutta Method(RKM).The experiments are conducted to corroborate the theoretical analysis.The results show that the system frequency changes in stages with the increase of the stiffness of the integrated composite beam connection.Especially in the case of varying environments,as the temperature increases,the frequency of system will first increase to a certain maximum value and then gradually decrease.Furthermore,the NiTi-ST effectively reduces vibration in the integrated composite beam,particularly under varying temperatures and external excitations.
