Departing from traditional low-dimensional design paradigms that are constrained by limited solution spaces and excessive reliance on manual intervention, our innovative approach introduces three key advancements: (1) a randomized cut-line coding methodology that generates an expansive, high-dimensional design space capable of addressing diverse stealth requirements; (2) a novel hybrid intelligence system combining genetic algorithms with neural networks for unprecedented computational efficiency and design flexibility; and (3) a multilayer architecture integrating conductive surface materials that achieves remarkable multispectral performance.

These discrepancies hinder a comprehensive explanation of the structural evolution and deformation mechanisms in real twinned diamonds. To address this gap, we constructed an interlaced nanotwinned diamond structure with coexisting twins of different orientations and investigated its deformation mechanisms under pure shear strain. The interlaced twins with different orientations inevitably lead to the coexistence of <em>sp</em><sup>3</sup> bonds and <em>sp</em><sup>2</sup> line defects at the intersecting sites. Our findings reveal that under shear strain, the ideal twin interfaces in the interlaced nanotwinned diamond structure first undergo flip, transforming into a defective parallel nanotwinned diamond structure. As shear strain increases, this defective structure evolves into a unique diamond/graphite interface structure. Due to the strong local carbon bonds associated with <em>sp</em><sup>2</sup> defects, graphitization lags behind that of <em>sp</em><sup>3</sup> carbon bonds, leading to the formation of pentagonal ring structures at the interface. This imparts edge dislocation characteristics to the interface structure, which is significantly different from the diamond/graphite interfaces observed in high-temperature and high-pressure experiments on graphite. Calculations further indicate that continued increase in shear strain may lead to a series of transformations among diamond/graphite interface structures, defective diamond structures, and back to diamond/graphite interface structures. This study provides important insights into the deformation mechanisms of interlaced nanotwinned diamonds under extreme conditions and reveals a new type of diamond/graphite interface structure.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18253,"journal":{"name":"Materials Today Physics","volume":"52 ","pages":"Article 101685"},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143496028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The QE of GaAs-based photocathode is mainly distributed in the band range of 350–932 nm, and the maximum can reach 49.45 %. QE converges higher as cleaning temperature increases, illustrating that higher annealing temperature can considerably elevate the possibility of obtaining a high QE even if impurities can be eliminated at lower temperature.
