Implications of Distributed Link Polarization Dependent Loss on Bit-Wise Achievable Information Rates for Probabilistically Shaped and Uniform DP 64-QAM
摘要： The statistical behaviours of bit-wise achievable information rates (BW AIRs) and effective signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) due to polarization dependent loss (PDL) are experimentally characterized for probabilistically shaped and uniform dual-polarization 64-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (DP 64-QAM) with a bit rate of 250 Gb/s. A single-span recirculating loop is used to emulate distributed link PDL. Histograms for the BW AIR and effective SNR following offline signal processing resemble shifted, mirror-image Maxwell probability density functions for both constellations and two different per-loop PDL values. For a transmission distance of 1200 km and a per-loop PDL of 1.3 dB, the outage probabilities for the shaped and uniform constellations are estimated to be 1.1 × 10?3 and 4.4 × 10?1, respectively. Moreover, for an outage probability ≤ 4.0 × 10?3, the increase in transmission distance due to shaping is reduced by 50% compared to that for PDL free transmission.

Two Dimensional β-InSe with Layer-Dependent Properties: Band Alignment, Work Function and Optical Properties
摘要： Density functional theory calculations of the layer (L)-dependent electronic band structure, work function and optical properties of β-InSe have been reported. Owing to the quantum size effects (QSEs) in β-InSe, the band structures exhibit direct-to-indirect transitions from bulk β-InSe to few-layer β-InSe. The work functions decrease monotonically from 5.22 eV (1 L) to 5.0 eV (6 L) and then remain constant at 4.99 eV for 7 L and 8 L and drop down to 4.77 eV (bulk β-InSe). For optical properties, the imaginary part of the dielectric function has a strong dependence on the thickness variation. Layer control in two-dimensional layered materials provides an effective strategy to modulate the layer-dependent properties which have potential applications in the next-generation high performance electronic and optoelectronic devices.

Direct observation of cross-polarized excitons in aligned single-chirality single-wall carbon nanotubes
摘要： Optical properties of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) for light polarized parallel to the nanotube axis have been studied extensively, whereas their response to light polarized perpendicular to the nanotube axis has not been well explored. Here, by using a macroscopic film of highly aligned single-chirality (6,5) SWCNTs, we performed a systematic polarization-dependent optical absorption spectroscopy study. In addition to the commonly observed angular-momentum-conserving interband absorption of parallel-polarized light, which generates E11 and E22 excitons, we observed a small but unambiguous absorption peak whose intensity is maximum for perpendicular-polarized light. We attribute this feature to the lowest-energy cross-polarized interband absorption processes that change the angular momentum along the nanotube axis by ±1, generating E12 and E21 excitons. Unlike previous observations of cross-polarized excitons in polarization-dependent photoluminescence and circular dichroism spectroscopy experiments, our direct observation using absorption spectroscopy allowed us to quantitatively analyze this resonance. Specifically, we determined the energy and oscillator strength of this resonance to be 1.54 and 0.05, respectively, compared with the values for the E11 exciton peak. These values, in combination with a comparison with theoretical calculations, in turn led to an assessment of the environmental effect on the strength of Coulomb interactions in this aligned single-chirality SWCNT film.

Temperature-Dependent Phase Transition in Orthorhombic [011]c Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3) O3-0.35PbTiO3 Single Crystal
摘要： Relaxor [011]c PMN-0.35PT single crystal phase transition characteristics are investigated through various methods including variable temperature dielectric properties, X-ray diffraction, bipolar ferroelectric hysteresis loops (P-E) and electric-field-induced strain (S-E) hysteresis loops measurements. The results reveal that two phase transitions exist within the range from room temperature to 250 °C: orthorhombic (O)-tetragonal (T)-cubic (C). The O-to-T and T-to-C phase transition temperatures have been identified as 84 °C and 152 °C, respectively. Diffuseness degree of the T-to-C phase transition for the unpoled single crystal has been calculated to be 1.56, implying an intermediate state between normal and relaxor ferroelectrics. Temperature-dependent remanent polarization (Pr), coercive field (Ec), saturation polarization (Ps), hysteresis loop squareness (Rsq), and longitudinal piezoelectric constant (d*33) are also explored to learn the details of the phase transitions. Variable temperature unipolar Suni-E hysteresis loops avail additional evidence for the microstructure change in the as-measured single crystal.

3D surface reconstruction of retinal vascular structures
摘要： We propose in this paper, a three-dimensional surface reconstruction of a retinal vascular network from a pair of 2D retinal images. Our approach attempts to address the above challenges by incorporating an epipolar geometry estimation and adaptive surface modelling in a 3D reconstruction, using three steps: segmentation, 3D skeleton reconstruction and 3D surface modelling of vascular structures. The intrinsic calibration matrices are found via the solution of simplified Kruppa equations. A simple essential matrix based on a self-calibration method has been used for the ‘fundus camera-eye’ system. The used method has eventually produced vessel surfaces that could be fit for various applications, such as applications for computational fluid dynamics simulations and applications for real-time virtual interventional.

Effects of Microsphere Size on the Mechanical Properties of Photonic Crystals
摘要： Photonic crystal (PC) thin films that are self-assembled from different-sized silica microspheres were prepared for studying mechanical properties via nanoindentation at the submicron scale. We found that the silica photonic crystals (PCs) possessed a face-centered cubic (FCC) microstructure and their elastic modulus and hardness were in the range of ~1.81–4.92 GPa and 0.008–0.033 GPa, respectively. The calculated results proved that there were size-dependent properties in the silica PCs, in that the elastic modulus and hardness increased as the diameter decreased from 538 nm to 326 nm. After studying the total work and plastic work in the progressive deformation of silica PCs during the nanoindentation tests, we developed a two-stage deformation model to explain how the microsphere size affects the mechanical properties of PC thin films. The phenomenon of 'smaller is stronger' is mainly due to the energy consumption, which combines the effects of microstructure collapse, microsphere slide, and reduced porosity during the whole loading and unloading process. In addition, the results of numerical simulation matched the experimental data and reflected the energy change rules of PCs during the indentation process. Furthermore, the study affords useful guidance for constructing high-performance films with proper design and potential application in next-generation PC materials.

Effects of reaction conditions on light-dependent silver nanoparticle biosynthesis mediated by cell extract of green alga Neochloris oleoabundans
摘要： Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized by incubating the mixture of AgNO3 solution and whole-cell aqueous extracts (WCAEs) of Neochloris oleoabundans under light conditions. By conducting single-factor and multi-factor optimization, the effects of parameters including AgNO3 concentration, pH, and extraction time were quantitatively evaluated. The optimal conditions in terms of AgNP yield were found to be 0.8 mM AgNO3, pH 5, and 9-h extraction. The AgNPs thus synthesized were quasi-spherical with a mean particle diameter of 16.63 nm and exhibited decent uniformity as well as antibacterial activities, which may facilitate AgNP biosynthesis’s application in the near future.

Optical Properties of Energy-Dependent Effective Mass GaAs/GaxIn1?xAs and GaAs/AlxGa1?xAs Quantum Well Systems: A Shooting Method Study
摘要： In this paper, we study the effect of energy-dependent effective mass on optical properties of GaAs/GaxIn1?xAs and GaAs/AlxGa1?xAs quantum well systems through the compact density matrix approach. We solved the resulting non-linear Schro¨dinger equation by a simple shooting method and present the algorithm. We show that the energy-dependent effective mass effect is more important for systems with narrower quantum well systems. By an energy-dependent effective mass assumption, absorption coef?cient peak height increases with increasing the total system length L while in the constant effective mass limit, absorption coef?cient peak heights have not been in?uenced by changing L. In the GaAs/AlxGa1?xAs system, by increasing the number of wells, the linear absorption coef?cient amplitude at ?rst increases and then decreases in the ?xed effective mass approximation and monotonically decreases in the energy-dependent effective mass case. By increasing the number of wells, the linear absorption coef?cient peak position at ?rst shows a blue shift and then shows a redshift. In the GaAs/GaxIn1?xAs system, the situation is more complicated and it is described in more detail in the text. However, GaAs/GaxIn1?xAs quantum well systems have larger values of absorption coef?cient peak heights than GaAs/AlxGa1?xAs ones.

Discovery and Characterization of a Naturally Occurring, Turn-On Yellow Fluorescent Protein Sensor for Chloride
摘要： Fluorescent proteins have been extensively engineered and applied as optical indicators for chloride in a variety of biological contexts. Surprisingly, given the biodiversity of ?uorescent proteins, a naturally occurring chloride sensor has not been reported to date. Here, we present the identi?cation and spectroscopic characterization of the yellow ?uorescent protein from the jelly?sh Phialidium sp. (phiYFP), a rare example of a naturally occurring, excitation ratiometric, and turn-on ?uorescent protein sensor for chloride. Our results show that chloride binding tunes the pKa of the chromophore Y66 and shifts the equilibrium from the ?uorescent phenolate form to the weakly ?uorescent phenol form. The latter likely undergoes excited-state proton transfer to generate a turn-on ?uorescence response that is pH-dependent. Moreover, anion selectivity and mutagenesis in the chloride binding pocket provide additional evidence for the proposed chloride sensing mechanism. Given these properties, we anticipate that phiYFP, with further engineering, could be a new tool for imaging cellular chloride dynamics.

Impact of Organic Spacers on the Carrier Dynamics in 2D Hybrid Lead-Halide Perovskites
摘要： We have carried out non-adiabatic molecular dynamics simulations combined with time-dependent density functional theory calculations to compare the properties of the two-dimensional (2D) (BA)2(MA)Pb2I7 and three-dimensional (3D) MAPbI3 (where MA = methylammonium and BA = butylammonium) materials. We evaluate the different impacts that the 2D-confined spacer layer of butylammonium cations and the 3D-confined methylammonium cations have on the charge carrier dynamics in the two systems. Our results indicate that while both the MA+ and BA+ cations play important roles in determining the carrier dynamics, the BA+ cations exhibit stronger non-adiabatic couplings with the 2D perovskite framework. The consequence is a faster hot-carrier decay rate in 2D (BA)2(MA)Pb2I7 than in 3D MAPbI3. Thus, tuning of the functional groups of the organic spacer cations in order to reduce the vibronic couplings between the cations and the Pb-I framework can offer the opportunity to slow down the hot-carrier relaxations and increase the carrier lifetimes in 2D lead-halide perovskites.
