AbstractBased on the mechanical motion equation, Gauss’s law, and the current continuity condition, we study a few typical transient effects in a piezoelectric semiconductor (PS) fiber to realize the startup and turning-off functions of common piezotronic devices. In this study, the transient extensional vibration induced by a suddenly applied axial time-dependent force is examined in a cantilevered n-type ZnO nanofiber. Neither the magnitude of the loadings nor the doping concentration significantly affects the propagation caused by disturbance of the axial displacement. However, both of the factors play an important role in the propagation caused by disturbance of the electron concentrations. This indicates that the electromechanical coupling effect can be expected to directly determine the electronic performance of the devices. In addition, the assumption of previous simplified models which neglect the charge carriers in Gauss’s law is discussed, showing that this assumption has a little influence on the startup state when the doping concentration is smaller than 1021 m−3. This suggests that the screening effect of the carriers on the polarized electric field is much reduced in this situation, and that the state is gradually transforming into a pure piezoelectric state. Nevertheless, the carriers can provide a damping effect, which means that the previous simplified models do not sufficiently describe the turning-off state. The numerical results show that the present study has referential value with respect to the design of newly multifunctional PS devices.

The present work proposed an hourglass-type electromagnetic isolator with negative resistance (NR) shunt circuit to achieve the effective suppression of the micro-amplitude vibration response in various advanced instruments and equipment. By innovatively design of combining the displacement amplifier and the NR electromagnetic shunt circuit, the current new type of vibration isolator not only can effectively solve the problem of micro-amplitude vibration control, but also has significant electromechanical coupling effect, to obtain excellent vibration isolation performance. The design of the isolator and motion relationship is presented firstly. The electromechanical coupling dynamic model of the isolator is also given. Moreover, the optimal design of the NR electromagnetic shunt circuit and the stability analysis of the vibration isolation system are carried out. Finally, the simulation results about the transfer function and vibration responses demonstrated that the isolator has a significant isolation performance.

Peripheral heavy-ion collisions at relativistic energy are proposed as a new experimental approach dedicated to nuclear dissipation studies and, in particular, to investigate transient effects which are responsible for the inhibition of fission at the beginning of the process. To extract reliable information from the data, an analytical approximation of the time-dependent fission decay width is used in connection with new experimental signatures of relaxation effects.

Ni1−xFexOnanofibers with different Fe doping concentration have been synthesized by electrospinning method. An analysis of the phase composition and microstructure shows that Fe doping has no influence on the crystal structure and morphology of NiO nanofibers, which reveals that the doped Fe ions have been incorporated into the NiO host lattice. Pure NiO without Fe doping is antiferromagnetic, yet all the Fe-doped NiO nanofiber samples show obvious room-temperature ferromagnetic properties. The saturation magnetization of the nanofibers can be enhanced with increasing Fe doping concentration, which can be ascribed to the double exchange mechanism through the doped Fe ions and free charge carriers. In addition, it was found that the diameter of nanofibers has significant impact on the ferromagnetic properties, which was discussed in detail.

The direct piezoelectric effect has long been recognized as an effective electromechanical coupling effect applied to designs of various transducers. Conventional sensor design usually follows three design principles: 1) the tension/compression design, 2) the bending or flexible design and 3) the shear design. These are mostly point-type transducers monitoring responses of discrete locations and, thus, they are not suitable to dynamic spatial monitoring of large-scale distributed structures, such as shells and plates. Accordingly, distributed designs and configurations, such as the segmentation and shaping techniques, have been proposed and evaluated in the last two decades. This study is to evaluate electromechanical coupling and signal generations of a coupled piezoelectric/elastic circular shell structure. A generic open-circuit signal equation of electromechanical coupling and signal generation is presented first, followed by a simplification to signal generation of a circular cylindrical shell case. The total signal generation and its contributing components are analyzed in the modal domain. Spatially distributed modal signals of various shell modes are calculated and the spatial signal distribution illustrates distinct modal characteristics resulting from microscopic modal strain behaviors. Thus, the optimal sensor location(s) for specific shell modes can be identified from the modal signal distribution plots.

In the recent years, the piezoelectric wafer active sensors (PWASs) are increasing as a measurement tool in structural health monitoring techniques. In impedance-based structural health monitoring (ISHM) method, the electrical impedance of a PWAS bonded to the structure is measured and served as a defect detection index of the structure. The principle of this method is based on the electromechanical coupling effect of PWAS materials. As any change in the structure will lead to a change in mechanical impedance of structure, the electrical impedance of PWAS could sense this change by the electromechanical coupling effect of PWAS. Since the physical and mechanical properties of PWAS materials are temperature-dependent, so the electrical impedance of PWAS will change with varying temperature. Consequently, the changes in environmental or service temperatures could be detected in ISHM method as a defect. In this article, in order to consider the temperature dependency of PWAS material properties, a temperature-dependent model is developed for a PWAS bonded to an Euler Bernoulli cantilever beam. An aluminum (alloy 2024) beam was examined experimentally by ISHM method in order to validate the proposed model. The comparison of theoretical and experimental results demonstrates a good improvement in ISHM modeling where temperature variation is present.

Plasmons, which are collective and coherent oscillations of charge carriers driven by an external field, play an important role in applications such as solar energy harvesting, sensing, and catalysis. Plasmons can be found in bulk and nanomaterials, and in recent years, plasmons have also been identified in molecules and these molecules have been utilized to build plasmonic devices. As molecular plasmons can no longer be described by classical electrodynamics, a description using quantum mechanics is necessary. Many methods have been developed to identify and quantify molecular plasmons based on the properties of plasmonic excitations. However, there is not currently a method that is widely accepted, connects to collectivity and coherence, and is computationally practical. Here we develop a metric to accurately and efficiently identify and quantify plasmons in molecules. A number, which we call plasmon character index (PCI), can be calculated for each electronic excited state and describes the plasmonicity of the excitation. PCI is developed from the collective and coherent excitation picture in orbitals and shows excellent agreement with the predictions from scaled time-dependent density functional theory but is vastly more computationally efficient. Therefore, PCI can be a useful tool in identifying and quantifying plasmons and will inform the rational design of plasmonic molecules and small nanomaterials.
