Transistors find application within various integrated circuits (ICs) alongside a multitude of electronic devices. These ICs have become integral components in contemporary systems. When organic semiconducting materials constitute the active layer, transistors are termed “organic transistors.” The enhancement of diverse device characteristics is achievable through the modeling and simulation of these organic transistors. This study focuses on the simulation of different configurations of pentacene-based organic transistors. To augment device performance, an active layer comprising pentacene is coupled with 5 and 15 nm graphene. Notably, the top gate configuration yields an increase in ON/OFF ratio from 102 to 107, accompanied by an enhancement in sub-threshold swing from 276 to 59 mV/decade. Similarly, the bottom gate configuration exhibits an ON/OFF ratio improvement from 105 to 109, alongside a sub-threshold swing enhancement from 108 to 59 mV/decade. Leveraging graphene as the active layer material results in substantial benefits. These encompass a heightened on-current of 210 mA, a reduced sub-threshold swing of 58 mV/decade, and a significantly enhanced ON/OFF ratio of 1017.

In this paper, the effect of driving current profile on efficient utilization and conversion of stored electrical energy into kinetic energy of the projectile has been investigated for electromagnetic railgun systems. It has been experimentally evidenced and also corroborated by simulation results that the acceleration efficiency of railgun launcher is much higher for the case when the driving current feed has an over-damped unidirectional profile vs the case when an under-damped sinusoidal current of same amplitude is fed. To analyze this effect, a mathematical model has been developed incorporating dynamic resistance scaling and velocity dependent frictional effects. For the typical case of projectile weighing ∼8 g and input driving current amplitude of ∼220 kA, the estimated average force from the mathematical model simulation acting on the armature projectile increases from 1.4 to 3.83 kN, consequently resulting in an increase in velocity from 489 to 931 m/s and overall efficiency from 0.55% to 2% for the sinusoidal and unidirectional current profiles, respectively. Experimentally, a maximum velocity of ∼1024 m/s was obtained when a unidirectional over-damped current of similar amplitude was fed using a pulse shaping inductor in conjunction with a crowbar switch. The obtained experimental results of trials with different masses of armatures complement the results of the conceived mathematical model used in simulations. The marginal underestimation of the simulated velocity is due to the inevitable lacking in precise estimation of the frictional force and mass loss that dynamically occur in the projectile during acceleration.
本文研究了电磁轨道炮系统的驱动电流剖面对有效利用存储电能并将其转化为弹丸动能的影响。实验和模拟结果都证明,当馈入的驱动电流为过阻尼单向电流时,轨道炮发射器的加速效率要比馈入相同振幅的欠阻尼正弦电流时高得多。为了分析这种效应,我们建立了一个数学模型,其中包含动态阻力缩放和速度相关摩擦效应。在弹丸重量为 ∼8 g 和输入驱动电流振幅为 ∼220 kA 的典型情况下,数学模型模拟估算的作用在电枢弹丸上的平均力从 1.4 kN 增加到 3.83 kN,从而导致速度从 489 m/s 增加到 931 m/s,正弦和单向电流曲线的总效率分别从 0.55% 增加到 2%。实验结果表明,当使用脉冲整形电感和撬棒开关馈入类似振幅的单向过阻尼电流时,最大速度可达 ∼1024 m/s。不同质量电枢的试验结果与模拟所用数学模型的结果相辅相成。模拟速度被略微低估的原因是对加速过程中弹丸动态产生的摩擦力和质量损失缺乏精确的估计。

Owing to the volatility and intermittency of renewable energy generation units in microgrids, effective energy scheduling methods are essential for efficient renewable energy utilization and stable microgrid operation. In recent years, microgrid energy optimization scheduling based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has made significant progress. With the development of the microgrid, the drawbacks of the traditional DRL agent, such as long training time and poor convergence effect, are gradually revealed. This paper proposes a generative adversarial imitation learning method with Wasserstein distance for optimal energy scheduling in the microgrid. This method combines a proximal policy optimization algorithm to optimize energy scheduling and reduce microgrid operating costs. First, the agent adaptively learns the action exploration process by imitating expert trajectories. Second, based on the generative adversarial theory, a discriminator network is added, and the Wasserstein distance is introduced into the discriminator network to distinguish between the generative and expert strategies. This feedback assists in updating the neural network parameters. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through an arithmetic example analysis.

Using modern databases, the behavior of the isothermal compressibility coefficient −(∂V/∂P)T = VβT of water in the liquid state near its specific temperature of θ = 42.2 ± 0.2 °C was analyzed. The applicability of the principle of corresponding states in a wide range of thermodynamic parameters of water has been confirmed, excluding the area of water anomalies. The following anomalies of the physical–chemical properties of water were observed: (a) the temperature of θ = 42.2 ± 0.2 °C was found at which the entropy contribution to the isothermal compressibility coefficient of water changed its sign and became positive below this temperature; (b) the temperature of θ = 28.8 ± 0.2 °C was found at which the energy contribution to the isothermal compressibility coefficient of water changed its sign and became negative below this temperature; and (c) the temperature of θ = 17.6 ± 0.2 °C was found at which the energy and entropy contributions to the isothermal compressibility coefficient of water were equal. The entropy contribution to the isothermal compressibility coefficient, according to the two-structure model of water, can be associated with the existence of an “expanded” low-density water structure of hydrogen bonds, the role of which increases with decreasing temperature. We associate the energy contribution to the isothermal compressibility coefficient with the “collapsed” high-density water structure of hydrogen bonds, the role of which in the field of thermodynamic anomalies of water decreases as the temperature decreases.

In isotope concentration technology, ion extraction current and ion extraction efficiency are the key factors to measure the efficiency of the isotope concentration. In order to increase the ion extraction current, researchers usually hope to produce a plasma source with large initial peak density and width; however, in reality, it is limited by the laser power, and the total number of ions in a plasma produced by laser ionization is almost certain. In this case, how to improve the ion extraction efficiency by choosing the appropriate initial density distribution of plasma has become a difficult problem. In this paper, the effects of the initial density distribution of plasma on the ion extraction characteristics are studied by using the electron equilibrium fluid model. The numerical results suggest that the ion extraction efficiency is independent of the initial density distribution of plasma while the total number of ions in the plasma, the distance between the electrodes, and the electric field intensity are kept constant. When the total number of ions and the electric field intensity are kept constant, the distance between the electrodes is shortened by one time, and the time of ion extraction is also shortened by nearly one time; thus, the plasma source with high initial peak density and small width can be chosen, and the aim of ion extraction can be achieved by shortening the distance between the electrodes. This research results provide an important reference for guiding the experimental parameters such as laser power distribution and the design of ion extraction device.

Global path planning is one of the key technologies in unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) intelligent control. At present, research on UUV global path planning technology tends to choose long-distance and large-scale 3D space as the research environment, which leads to a sharp increase in the amount of data and search range for 3D spatial path planning. Therefore, an efficient and relatively small data volume 3D spatial path planning method is an urgent problem that needs to be solved for UUV engineering applications. To solve this problem, a new bilevel path planning algorithm for UUV is proposed. In the upper level of the algorithm, a Max Min Ant System-Elite Genetic (MMAS-EGA) algorithm is put forward, which is a hybrid ant colony optimization/genetic algorithm, in order to improve the convergence speed of the algorithm. In the lower level of the bilevel algorithm, a function optimization algorithm and the MMAS algorithm are used to minimize the number of variables to be optimized. To verify the effectiveness of the algorithm, we conducted simulation experiments in a three dimensional environment. The simulation results in the three-dimensional environment show that, compared with the existing bilevel algorithm, the time to search the global optimal solution is reduced by 9%, and the number of iterations is reduced by 4.4%. Furthermore, the new algorithm we proposed is more efficient and suitable for global path planning for different tasks.

The impact of operating voltage on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) inspection and control is mainly manifested as electromagnetic interference, where the electric field mainly affects the distribution of space charges and ions, exhibiting adsorption effects on UAVs, and the magnetic field interferes with airborne magnetometers, disrupting the navigation system of UAVs. Under power frequency conditions, the electromagnetic field of alternating current exhibits alternating characteristics, and it only polarizes near the wire to form space charges or ion currents, with little effect at further distances. However, the variation in the magnetic field in one cycle is zero (positively correlated with alternating current), so its impact on UAVs is not particularly significant. Under direct current conditions, a constant current is introduced into the wire, and the electric field polarized around the wire generates a constant property of charge or ion current, resulting in a relatively larger electric field strength and a wider range of influence. At the same time, the constant current generates a constant magnetic field, which is applied to the airborne magnetometer, equivalent to adding a constant interference source, thus having a significant impact on the inspection and control of UAVs. This article uses ANSYS software to conduct electromagnetic field simulation analysis on DC transmission lines of different voltage levels.

Scalable electronic brain implants with long-term stability and low biological perturbation are crucial technologies for high-quality brain-machine interfaces that can seamlessly access delicate and hard-to-reach regions of the brain. Here, we created "NeuroRoots," a biomimetic multi-channel implant with similar dimensions (7 μm wide and 1.5 μm thick), mechanical compliance, and spatial distribution as axons in the brain. Unlike planar shank implants, these devices consist of a number of individual electrode "roots," each tendril independent from the other. A simple microscale delivery approach based on commercially available apparatus minimally perturbs existing neural architectures during surgery. NeuroRoots enables high density single unit recording from the cerebellum in vitro and in vivo. NeuroRoots also reliably recorded action potentials in various brain regions for at least 7 weeks during behavioral experiments in freely-moving rats, without adjustment of electrode position. This minimally invasive axon-like implant design is an important step toward improving the integration and stability of brain-machine interfacing.

To solve the difficulty of selecting the number of effective singular values in Singular Value Decomposition denoising, a new method to determine the number of effective singular values is proposed. The proposed method to determine the number of effective singular values is based on the non-zero singular value distribution law of the Hankel matrix constructed by the signal. Specifically, the number of effective singular values in the Hankel matrix is twice the number of frequencies contained in the signal, and the difference between the effective singular values of the noisy signal and the non-zero singular values of the pure signal is very small. The proposed method for determining the number of effective singular values is to perform differential processing on the singular values of the signal and normalize the difference obtained. An empirical parameter T is provided, and the number of effective singular values is determined by comparing them with the normalized results. The proposed method is applied to the simulated and measured rolling bearing signals, and the results are compared with the wavelet threshold denoising method. The results show that the proposed method for determining the number of singular values can effectively filter out the noise frequency contained in the signal while maintaining the characteristic frequency of the signal and achieving the purpose of mechanical equipment fault diagnosis.

Gallium oxide (Ga2O3) is a wide-bandgap oxide semiconductor, with a bandgap of ∼4.9 eV, making it a promising material for power device applications. This study focuses on the effect of hydrochloric acid addition on the growth rate in homoepitaxial growth of β-Ga2O3 using a mist chemical vapor deposition method. For homoepitaxial growth on a (001) β-Ga2O3 substrate, we introduced different concentrations of HCl into the source solution to assess its impact on the growth rate, crystal structures, and surface morphologies of the films. At a growth temperature of 900 °C, HCl addition linearly increased film thickness, enhancing the growth rate by 4.8 times with 9.09 vol. % HCl. No peaks associated with other phases were exhibited by each sample, indicating pure homoepitaxial growth. When comparing samples with similar film thicknesses, the root-mean-square (rms) roughness was enhanced by 1/7 with an increase in the HCl concentration. However, at 800 °C, an increasing solution concentration caused pronounced step bunching and elevated rms roughness, in contrast with the minimal effect observed at 900 °C. In experiments with hydrochloric acid addition at 900 °C, we observed a striped morphology, which maintained consistent rms roughness despite higher temperature.
