To address the difficulty of nonlinear parameterization terms in system models, a new function approximator (FSE-RBFNN), which combines the radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) and Fourier series expansion (FSE), is introduced to model each time-varying nonlinear parameterized function. The adaptive backstepping method is used to design control laws and parameter adaptive laws. In the process of controller design, we may encounter the problem of too many derivatives, which can cause parameter explosions after derivatives. Therefore, we introduce a first-order low-pass filter to solve this problem and simplify the structure of the controller. As the number of iterations increases, the maximum tracking error gradually decreases until it converges to the nearby region, approaching zero within the entire given interval <jats:inline-formula><mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"><mml:mrow><mml:mo stretchy=\"false\">[</mml:mo><mml:mrow><mml:mn>0</mml:mn><mml:mo>,</mml:mo><mml:mi>T</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mo stretchy=\"false\">]</mml:mo></mml:mrow></mml:math></jats:inline-formula>, according to the Lyapunov-like synthesis.

A small volume is the key for a fashionable, easy-to-wear, comfortable NED system for industrial and consumer use. Freeform surfaces can significantly reduce the system volume and weight while improving the system specifications. However, great challenges still exist in further reducing the volume of near-eye display systems as there is also a limit when using only freeform optics. This paper introduces a novel method for designing compact freeform NED systems through a powerful optical–digital joint design. The method integrates a geometrical freeform optical design with deep learning of an image compensation neural network, addressing off-axis nonsymmetric structures with complex freeform surfaces. A design example is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Specifically, the volume of a freeform NED system is reduced by approximately 63% compared to the system designed by the traditional method, while still maintaining high-quality display performance. The proposed method opens a new pathway for the design of a next-generation ultra-compact NED system.","PeriodicalId":12507,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Physics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142219694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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}

This study investigates how size and shape variations affect the optoelectronic properties of semiconductor nanoparticles InX (X = As, Sb, and P). Using unified thermodynamics modeling, it explores the effects of these nanoparticles’ diameters on their electronic band structures, optical properties, and charge carrier dynamics. The inquiry focuses on InX nanoparticles with different sizes and nanostructure morphologies. By examining electronic band structures, the density of states, and optical absorption spectra, the size-dependent quantum confinement processes that govern the optical band gap transitions and excitonic behaviors in these semiconductor nanoparticles were made clear. Also, the influence of the shape of the nanoparticles on carrier mobility and electronic band alignment is investigated, offering insights into the possibility of controlling the morphology to customize optoelectronic capabilities. This theoretical analysis indicates that altering the optoelectronic properties of InX semiconductor nanoparticles is mostly dependent on their size and shape. Smaller nanoparticles show stronger quantum size effects, which lead to improved exciton confinement and blue shifts in the optical absorption spectra. Shape-dependent differences in the density of states and electronic band structures indicate the impact of morphology on the dynamics and recombination of charge carriers in the nanoparticles. In conclusion, this work provides important insights for the design and optimization of semiconductor nanomaterials for photovoltaic, sensing, and light-emitting applications by thoroughly examining the impact of size and shape on the optoelectronic properties of InX semiconductor nanoparticles.","PeriodicalId":12507,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Physics","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142219695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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}

Nature uses this approach to provide animals with highly adaptive and robust approaches towards gaining an effective grip on surfaces. The mechanism of patterned surface adhesion involve many different attachment principles, adhesive site interactions, and probabilistic effects, the interplay of which is not understood. This limits our ability to design patterned surface adhesives for engineering applications. In this work, we quantify how a mechanically patterned adhesive based on passive mushroom-shaped elements performs. We explore a range of surface design features and model the mechanical adhesion dynamics with an approach based on the fiber bundle model (FBM). We find that the fiber bundle model can be used to rationalize the observations after modifying it to capture the initial non-linear force response of the adhesives.

Owing to the simple structure and easy fabrication, the waveguide with a tooth-shaped resonator has been a strong candidate as a filtering device. Based on our previous work focusing on U-shaped filtering excited by PDP waveguides with a double-teeth structure, in this work, the formation mechanism of a U-shape filtering spectrum is systematically explored by transmission line theory (TLT) with proper field distributions. The results indicate that the U-shape spectrum consists of boundary edges and a filtering stopband. The boundary edges are attributed to Fano-type resonance, and the enhanced destructive interference from double teeth is responsible for the stopband. Such an approach shows a specific and clear mechanism for the generated U-shaped spectrum. In addition, the theoretical analysis of double teeth without Fano-type resonances is rigorously demonstrated using TLT, which significantly contributes to bandwidth modulation of stopband filtering in theory. These results contribute to the understanding of the formation mechanism of a U-shaped spectrum from a gap plasmon waveguide (such as PDP or metal–insulator–metal (MIM)) with tooth-shaped resonators, offering a feasible direction for the optimization of filtering properties, as well as offering significant parameters for subsequent experimental design.","PeriodicalId":12507,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Physics","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142219709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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}
