Mechanoluminescence (ML) is a classical optical phenomenon that is induced by mechanical stimulus, and it can be applied to stress sensors, imaging, self‐powered display/lighting and anti‐counterfeiting. However, the realization of determining the magnitude of stress in real time by the changes of colors for stress‐induced display/lighting has been fundamentally challenging. Herein, the superior manipulation of colors from blue to red continuously by pressure or concentration is achieved in Bi,Mn co‐activated CaZnOS for the first time. CaZnOS:Bi3+,0.1% Mn2+ exhibits the ML color from red, orange, white, and cyan with the pressure from 0 to 5000 N. Moreover, ML color manipulation from cyan to red light is also achieved with difference in Mn2+ concentration. It is of note that there is a reversible phase transition of CaZnOS according to in situ X‐ray diffraction and Raman spectra at high pressure. Moreover, the correlation between crystal structure and ML properties, as well as the ML mechanism are established and discussed in detail. In conclusion, the present results demonstrate the Bi,Mn co‐activated CaZnOS as a novel ML material achieving multi‐color manipulation with great potential applications in the fields of novel mechanically stress‐induced display, ultrasound monitoring, and particularly advanced anti‐counterfeiting technology.
In this paper, a photonics-based dual-band linear frequency-modulated continuous wave (LFMCW) radar receiver is proposed. The system core is a microwave photonic in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) mixer, whose inherent large bandwidth, high I/Q balance and favorable uniformity enable the receiver to operate over an extremely wide frequency range. An integrated dual-band waveform offers the possibility of independent detection, allowing the sharing of hardware resources and joint dechirp processing of dual bands. In the proof-of-concept experiment, the distance measurements of S- and C-bands are implemented, with a high and uniform image rejection exceeding 28 and 30 dB, respectively. The image rejections of the two bands can be further improved to 43 and 41 dB at least by digital signal processing (DSP). The proposed photonic-assisted receiver is thus able to simplify the architecture and improve performance for the multispectral sensing application.
When Ca2+ is substituted with Sr2+, the optical band gap of (Ca, Sr)ZnOS:Mn2+ becomes narrower and the trap depths becomes deeper, which leads to ML enhanced. The monitoring of ultrasonic intensity was achieved by using this ML material.
A novel tubular staggered-tooth transverse-flux permanent magnet linear synchronous machine (STTF-PMLSM) is proposed. The machine is characterized by simple structure and low flux leakage. Firstly, the structure and operational principle are introduced. Secondly, the 3-D equivalent magnetic circuit model of the machine is built, and the analytical expression of the electromagnetic force is derived. Finally,the force density and force ripple are optimized with respect to three key dimensional ratios using 3-D finite element method (FEM). An optimized scheme with high force density of 2.697×10 5 N/m 3 and low force ripple of 2.78% is achieved. And the characteristics of the proposed machine are compared with other topologies of linear machine.Index Terms-Equivalent magnetic circuit model, 3-D finite element method (FEM), transverse-flux, linear machine, thrust force. 0018-9464 (c)
Intense red emitting Mn2+-activated SrZnSO samples were synthesized by solid-state reaction at high temperature, and their photoluminescence and mechanoluminescence properties were investigated.
