A flexible broadband terahertz modulator based on a strain-sensitive MXene material is reported. MXene is shown to have high terahertz wave absorption through experimental testing of various substrate samples. Results show that the THz signal transmission increases with increasing stretching degree, which differs obviously from transmission through pure PVAc substrates. Analysis of the terahertz time-domain spectrum and electrical characterization indicate that the sample’s conductivity decreases with increasing stretching degree. The trend and magnitude of the electrical conductivity results are also very similar to those from the time-domain spectrum. MXene is shown to be a simple, efficient terahertz broadband spectrum modulator with transmittance that can be affected by applying external forces.

AbstractWe present the results of a solution of the Earth’s rotation built with analytical solutions of the planets and of the Moon’s motion. We take into account the influence of the Moon, the Sun and all the planets on the potential of the Earth for the zonal harmonics Cj,0 for j from 2 to 5, and also for the tesseral harmonics C2,2, S2,2C3,k, S3,k for k from 1 to 3 and C4,1, S4,1. We determine three Euler angles ψ, ω, and φ by calculating the components of the torque of the external forces with respect to the geocenter in the case of the rigid Earth. The analytical solution of the precession-nutation has been compared to a numerical integration over the time span 1900–2050. The differences do not exceed 16 μas for ψ and 8 μas for ω whereas the contribution of the tesseral harmonics reaches 150 μas in the time domain.

<p>The process to arrive at design wind loads for long-span bridges involves experimental testing and analytical methods. Time domain simulations are becoming increasingly common and many available studies demonstrate results of buffeting response analysis in the time domain. However, there is significantly more to the process than the response analysis to derive wind loads that can be applied practically for design. The current study focuses on two key aspects required to derive design wind loads: prediction of the peak modal deflection and derivation of modal combination coefficients using objective functions.</p>

It was recently found by using the time domain thermal reflectance method that polycrystalline highly preferred orientation WSe2 and [(W)x(WSe2)y]z superlattice films possess extremely low cross-plane thermal conductivity, which is desirable for thermal insulation and thermoelectric energy conversion applications. However, it is difficult to obtain the in-plane thermal conductivity by using the laser reflectance or the 3-ω method. Here we employ a suspended microdevice developed for measuring thermoelectric properties of individual nanowires and nanofilms to obtain the in-plane thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, and Seebeck coefficient of [(W)x(WSe2)y]z superlattice films. The measurement results show that the in-plane thermal conductivities of these films are much higher than the cross-plane values, making the thermal conductivity of the films highly anisotropic.

The transmission characteristics of a FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) model neuron influenced by Gaussian white noise is studied in this work. With a sinusoidal stimulus as input, based on the time-domain analysis to the output , it is found that there are SR phenomenon, and the signal transmission is mainly depends on the noise intensity, the frequency and the amplitude of the external excitation signals. The analysis show that when the input frequency lies in 0.2Hz~0.5Hz and the amplitudeAis around 0.4, suitable noise intensity is conducive to the optimal neuronal signal transmission.

Abstract Optical non-linear phenomena are typically observed in natural materials interacting with light at high intensities, and they benefit a diverse range of applications from communication to sensing. However, controlling harmonic conversion with high efficiency and flexibility remains a major issue in modern optical and radio-frequency systems. Here, we introduce a dynamic time-domain digital-coding metasurface that enables efficient manipulation of spectral harmonic distribution. By dynamically modulating the local phase of the surface reflectivity, we achieve accurate control of different harmonics in a highly programmable and dynamic fashion, enabling unusual responses, such as velocity illusion. As a relevant application, we propose and realize a novel architecture for wireless communication systems based on the time-domain digital-coding metasurface, which largely simplifies the architecture of modern communication systems, at the same time yielding excellent performance for real-time signal transmission. The presented work, from new concept to new system, opens new pathways in the application of metamaterials to practical technology.

Тhe advantage of combine processing of frequency domain and time domain data provided by the EQUATOR system is discussed. The heliborne complex has a towed transmitter, and, raised above it on the same cable a towed receiver. The excitation signal contains both pulsed and harmonic components. In fact, there are two independent transmitters operate in the system: one of them is a normal pulsed domain transmitter, with a half-sinusoidal pulse and a small "cut" on the falling edge, and the other one is a classical frequency domain transmitter at several specially selected frequencies. The received signal is first processed to a direct Fourier transform with high Q-factor detection at all significant frequencies. After that, in the spectral region, operations of converting the spectra of two sounding signals to a single spectrum of an ideal transmitter are performed. Than we do an inverse Fourier transform and return to the time domain. The detection of spectral components is done at a frequency band of several Hz, the receiver has the ability to perfectly suppress all sorts of extra-band noise. The detection bandwidth is several dozen times less the frequency interval between the harmonics, it turns out thatto achieve the same measurement quality of ground response without using out-of-band suppression you need several dozen times higher moment of airborne transmitting system. The data obtained from the model of a homogeneous half-space, a two-layered model, and a model of a horizontally layered medium is considered. A time-domain data makes it easier to detect a conductor in a relative insulator at greater depths. The data in the frequency domain gives more detailed information about subsurface. These conclusions are illustrated by the example of processing the survey data of the Republic of Rwanda in 2017. The simultaneous inversion of data in frequency domain and time domain can significantly improve the quality of interpretation.
