The nonlinear optical limiting (OL) property of tin phthalocyanine porous organic frameworks (Sn-Pc-POFs) dispersion in the nanosecond regime was studied, which showed excellent dispersibility and stability as well as a low OL threshold. To clarify the nonlinear optical response mechanisms in the material, the energy level structure of Sn-Pc-POFs was simulated using the density functional theory calculation, and the photoinduced carrier dynamics was studied using femtosecond time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy. The results indicated that the large absorption cross section and long lifetime of the excited state were responsible for the excellent OL property of the material.
Abstract:In this paper an adaptive non-singular fast terminal sliding mode (NFTSM) control scheme is proposed to control the electro-mechanical actuator (EMA) in an electric braking system which is a complex electro-mechanical system. In order to realize high-performance brake pressure servo control, a radial basis function (RBF) neural network method is adopted to deal with the difficulty of estimating the upper bound of the compound disturbance in the system, to reduce the conservatism of the design of sliding mode switching gain, and effectively eliminate sliding mode chattering. The simulation results show that, compared with a linear controller, the proposed control strategy is able to improve the servo performance and control precision. In addition the response speed of the braking actuator is enhanced significantly, without changing the traditional double-loop control structure.
InP/ZnS
core/shell quantum dots have shown extraordinary application
potential in photocatalysis. In this work, we demonstrated by ultrafast
spectroscopy that the electron transfer ability of InP/ZnSe/ZnS core/shell/shell
quantum dots was better than that of InP/ZnS quantum dots, because
the introduction of ZnSe midshell resulted in improved passivation
and greater exciton delocalization. The temperature-dependent PL spectra
indicate that the exciton–phonon coupling strength and exciton
binding energy of InP/ZnSe/ZnS quantum dots are smaller than those
of InP/ZnS quantum dots. Further photocatalytic hydrogen evolution
testing revealed that the photocatalytic activity of InP/ZnSe/ZnS
quantum dots was significantly higher than that of InP/ZnS quantum
dots, and InP/ZnSe/ZnS quantum dots even demonstrated improved stability.
This research deepened our understanding of carrier dynamics and charge
separation of InP/ZnSe/ZnS quantum dots, especially highlighting the
application potential of InP/ZnSe/ZnS quantum dots in photocatalytic
hydrogen evolution.
Two-dimensional Ti3C2Tx nanosheets have drawn much attention due to their unique nonlinear optical properties. To enhance the optical nonlinearity of the material, we synthesized Ti3C2Tx composites decorated with silver nanoparticles (Ti3C2Tx/Ag) through self-assembling of Ag nanoparticles on the surface of Ti3C2Tx. The nonlinear optical properties the composite were studied via nanosecond laser Z-scan method, and enhanced saturable absorption (SA) and reversed saturable absorption (RSA) effects were demonstrated. Using the femtosecond time-resolved transient absorption measurements, the carrier dynamics in the nonlinear response, as well as the enhancement mechanism of the composites was clarified.
