Due to the diffraction, however, the acquired nano-resolution phase signal may suffer splitting problem, which impedes the direct reconstruction of phase contrast CT (nPCT) images. To overcome, a new model-driven nPCT image reconstruction algorithm is developed in this study. In it, the diffraction procedure is mathematically modeled into a matrix <italic toggle=\"yes\"><bold>B</bold></italic>, from which the projections without signal splitting can be generated invertedly. Furthermore, a penalized weighted least-square model with total variation (PWLS-TV) is employed to denoise these projections, from which nPCT images with high accuracy are directly reconstructed. Numerical experiments demonstrate that this new algorithm is able to work with phase projections having any splitting distances. Moreover, results also reveal that nPCT images of higher signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) could be reconstructed from projections having larger splitting distances. In summary, a novel model-driven nPCT image reconstruction algorithm with high accuracy and robustness is verified for the Lau interferometer-based hard x-ray nano-resolution phase contrast imaging.","PeriodicalId":10253,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Physics B","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141571670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analytical solutions agree well with the relevant results of computational hydrodynamics simulation.

Adjusting the solid solution ratios of PMN/PT and different concentrations of elemental doping are the main methods to modulate their piezoelectric coefficients. The combination of these controllable conditions leads to an exponential increase of possible compositions in ceramics, which makes it not easy to extend the sample data by additional experimental or theoretical calculations. In this paper, a physics-embedded machine learning method is proposed to overcome the difficulties in obtaining piezoelectric coefficients and Curie temperatures of Sm-doped PMN-PT ceramics with different components. In contrast to all-data-driven model, physics-embedded machine learning is able to learn nonlinear variation rules based on small datasets through potential correlation between ferroelectric properties. Based on the model outputs, the positions of morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) with different Sm doping amounts are explored. We also find the components with the best piezoelectric property and comprehensive performance. Moreover, we set up a database according to the obtained results, through which we can quickly find the optimal components of Sm-doped PMN-PT ceramics according to our specific needs.","PeriodicalId":10253,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Physics B","volume":"80 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141884093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show that at low temperature the transverse component of the dynamical structure factor depicts clearly the magnon dispersion, and the longitudinal component exhibits two continua associated with single- and two-magnon excitations, respectively.

The results indicate that the small/large BH phase transition that is similar to the van der Waals (vdW) liquid/gas phase transition always exists for any spacetime dimensions. Interestingly, we then find that this BH system exhibits a more complex phase structure in 6-dimensional case that is missed in other dimensions. Specifically, it shows for D = 6 that we observed the small/intermediate/large BH phase transitions in a specific parameter region with the triple point naturally appeared. Moreover, when the magnetic charge turned off, we still observed the small/intermediate/large BH phase transitions and triple point only in 6-dimensional spacetime, which is consistent with the previous results. However, for the dyonic AdS BHs with quasitopological electromagnetism in Einstein–Born–Infeld (EBI) gravity, the novel phase structure composed of two separate coexistence curves observed by Li et al. [Phys. Rev. D105 104048 (2022)] disappeared in EGB gravity. This implies that this novel phase structure is closely related to gravity theories, and seems to have nothing to do with the effect of quasitopological electromagnetism. In addition, it is also true that the critical exponents calculated near the critical points possess identical values as mean field theory. Finally, we conclude that these findings shall provide some deep insights into the intriguing thermodynamic properties of the dyonic AdS BHs with quasitopological electromagnetism in EGB gravity.","PeriodicalId":10253,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Physics B","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141510315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the first time, we observed that the compactness and order of interfacial water enhance its physical barrier effect, subsequently enhancing the resistance of SAM to protein adsorption. Notably, the spatial hindrance effect of SAM leads to the embedding of protein into SAM, resulting in a lack of resistance of SAM towards protein. Furthermore, the number of hydroxyl groups per unit area of double OH-terminated SAM at <italic toggle=\"yes\">Σ</italic> = 6.5 nm<sup>−2</sup> is approximately 2 to 3 times that of single OH-terminated SAM at <italic toggle=\"yes\">Σ</italic> = 6.5 nm<sup>−2</sup> and 4.5 nm<sup>−2</sup>, consequently yielding a weaker resistance of double OH-terminated SAM towards protein. Meanwhile, due to the structure of SAM itself, i.e., the formation of a nearly perfect ice-like hydrogen bond structure, the SAM exhibits the weakest resistance towards protein. This study will complement and improve the mechanism of OH-SAM resistance to protein adsorption, especially the traditional barrier effect of interfacial water.","PeriodicalId":10253,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Physics B","volume":"86 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141189759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
