It is essential to comprehend the operational principles and degradation mechanisms of batteries across multiple scales to propel the research on rechargeable batteries for the next generation forward. Microstructure, phase information, and lattice of energy materials in both two dimensions and three dimensions can be intuitively obtained through the utilization of x-ray imaging techniques. Additionally, x-ray imaging technology is increasingly gaining attention due to its non-destructive nature and high penetrative capability, enabling <italic toggle=\"yes\">in situ</italic> experiments and multi-scale spatial resolution. In this review, we initially overview the basic principles and characteristics of several key x-ray imaging technologies. Each x-ray imaging technology is tailored to specific application scenarios. Furthermore, examples of multi-scale implementations of x-ray imaging technologies in the field of rechargeable batteries are discussed. This review is anticipated to augment the comprehension of readers for x-ray imaging techniques as well as to stimulate the development of novel concepts and approaches in rechargeable battery research.","PeriodicalId":10344,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Physics Letters","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142206939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}

{"title":"Effect of Rare-Earth Element Substitution in Superconducting R3Ni2O7 under Pressure","authors":"Zhiming Pan, Chen Lu, Fan Yang, Congjun Wu","doi":"10.1088/0256-307x/41/8/087401","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1088/0256-307x/41/8/087401","url":null,"abstract":"Recently, high temperature (<italic toggle=\"yes\">T</italic>_c ≈ 80 K) superconductivity (SC) has been discovered in La₃Ni₂O₇ (LNO) under pressure. This raises the question of whether the superconducting transition temperature <italic toggle=\"yes\">T</italic>_c could be further enhanced under suitable conditions. One possible route for achieving higher <italic toggle=\"yes\">T</italic>_c is element substitution. Similar SC could appear in the <italic toggle=\"yes\">Fmmm</italic> phase of rare-earth (RE) R₃Ni₂O₇ (RNO, R = RE element) material series under suitable pressure. The electronic properties in the RNO materials are dominated by the Ni 3<italic toggle=\"yes\">d</italic> orbitals in the bilayer NiO₂ plane. In the strong coupling limit, the SC could be fully characterized by a bilayer single 3<italic toggle=\"yes\">d</italic>_{<italic toggle=\"yes\">x</italic>²–<italic toggle=\"yes\">y</italic>²}-orbital <italic toggle=\"yes\">t</italic>–<italic toggle=\"yes\">J</italic>_∥–<italic toggle=\"yes\">J</italic>_⊥ model. With RE element substitution from La to other RE element, the lattice constant of the <italic toggle=\"yes\">Fmmm</italic> RNO material decreases, and the resultant electronic hopping integral increases, leading to stronger superexchanges between the 3<italic toggle=\"yes\">d</italic>_{<italic toggle=\"yes\">x</italic>²–<italic toggle=\"yes\">y</italic>²} orbitals. Based on the slave-boson mean-field theory, we explore the pairing nature and the evolution of <italic toggle=\"yes\">T</italic>_c in RNO materials under pressure. Consequently, it is found that the element substitution does not alter the pairing nature, i.e., the inter-layer s-wave pairing is always favored in the superconducting RNO under pressure. However, the <italic toggle=\"yes\">T</italic>_c increases from La to Sm, and a nearly doubled <italic toggle=\"yes\">T</italic>_c could be realized in SmNO under pressure. This work provides evidence for possible higher <italic toggle=\"yes\">T</italic>_c R₃Ni₂O₇ materials, which may be realized in further experiments.","PeriodicalId":10344,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Physics Letters","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142207060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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 propose a novel scenario and technique to restore the optical image in turbulent environmental by referring to Cyclopean image with binocular vision. With human visual intelligence, image distortion resulting from the turbulence is shown to be substantially suppressed. Numerical simulation results taking into account of the atmospheric turbulence, optical image system, image sensors, display and binocular vision perception are presented to demonstrate the robustness of the image restoration, which is compared with a single channel planar optical imaging and sensing. Experiment involving binocular telescope, image recording and the stereo-image display is conducted and good agreement is obtained between the simulation with perceptive experience.

However, the influence of the most electronegative fluorine on the CoSb₃ band remains unclear. We carry out density-functional-theory calculations and show that the valence band maximum gradually shifts downward with the increase of fluorine filling, lastly the valence band maximum converges to the highly degenerated secondary valence bands in fluorine-filled skutterudites. The effective degeneracy near the secondary valence band promotes more valleys to participate in electric transport, leading to a carrier mobility of more than the threefold and nearly twofold effective mass for F_0.1Co₄Sb₁₂ compared to Co₄Sb₁₂.

It provides voter anonymity, as the voting outcome is solely tied to the total number of affirmative votes. Our quantum voting machine also has scalability in terms of the number of voters. Additionally, the physical realization of the quantum voting machine is general and not limited to circuit quantum electrodynamics.
