Implantable biomedical sensors and actuators are highly desired in modern medicine. In many cases, the implant's electrical power source profoundly determines its overall size and performance [1]. The inductively coupled coil pair operating at the radio-frequency (RF) has been the primary method for wirelessly delivering electrical power to implants for the last three decades [2]. Recent designs significantly improve the power delivery efficiency by optimizing the operating frequency, coil size and coil distance [3]. However, RF radiation hazard and tissue absorption are the concerns in the RF wireless power transfer technology (RF-WPTT) [4], [5]. Also, it requires an accurate impedance matching network that is sensitive to operating environments between the receiving coil and the load for efficient power delivery [6]. In this paper, a novel low-frequency (<1 kHz) wireless power transfer technology (LF-WPTT) using rotating rare-earth permanent magnets is demonstrated. The LF-WPTT is able to deliver 2.967 W power at similar to 180 Hz to an 117.1 Omega resistor over 1 cm distance with 50% overall efficiency. Because of the low operating frequency, RF radiation hazard and tissue absorption are largely avoided, and the power delivery efficiency from the receiving coil to the load is independent of the operating environment. Also, there is little power loss observed in the LF-WPTT when the receiving coil is enclosed by non-magnetic implant-grade stainless steel.

High-order harmonic generation of the cyclo[18]carbon molecule irradiated by circularly polarized laser pulse

Shu-Shan Zhou, Yu-Jun Yang, Yang Yang, Ming-Yue Suo, Dong-Yuan Li, Yue Qiao, Hai-Ying Yuan, Wen-Di Lan, Mu-Hong Hu

Summary: In this study, high-order harmonic generation of the cyclo[18]carbon (C-18) molecule under few-cycle circularly polarized laser pulse was investigated using time-dependent density functional theory. Compared to the harmonic emission of the ring molecule C6H6 with similar ionization potential, the C-18 molecule exhibits higher efficiency and cutoff energy under the same laser field parameters. Further research suggests that the harmonic efficiency and cutoff energy of the C-18 molecule increase gradually with the increase of laser intensity or decrease of the driving laser's wavelength, and they are both greater than those of the C6H6 molecule. Analysis of the time-dependent evolution of electronic wave packets reveals that the higher efficiency of harmonic generation in the C-18 molecule is attributed to its larger spatial scale, which provides a greater chance for ionized electrons from one atom to recombine with others of the parent molecule. Selecting the suitable driving laser pulse demonstrates that high-order harmonic generation in the C-18 molecule has a wide range of applications in producing circularly polarized isolated attosecond pulses.

Design principles in MOF-derived electromagnetic wave absorption materials: Review and perspective

Zhenguo Gao, Kai Yang, Zehao Zhao, Di Lan, Qian Zhou, Jiaoqiang Zhang, Hongjing Wu

Summary: Currently, metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived nano-micro architectures are being actively researched for their electromagnetic wave absorption capabilities, which are enhanced by their flexible composition and structural manipulation for improved dielectric and magnetic attenuations. However, the fundamental design principles in MOF-derived microwave absorption materials have not been summarized. This review analyzes the design principles in these materials from the perspectives of diverse monomers (ligands and ions of MOFs), topologies, chemical states, and physical properties. It also comprehensively summarizes the essential information regarding the EM wave absorption mechanism and the structural-functional dependency. Finally, it proposes a clear insight into the challenges and perspectives of the industrial revolution upgrading in this promising field.

Effect of Cu distribution on thermoelectric properties of evaporated Cu2-xSe films with various Ag contents

Gaoyuan Zhai, Mingdi Lan, Shiying Liu, Guojian Li, Zhiwei Wang, Qiang Wang

Summary: In this study, Ag-doped beta-Cu2-xSe films were prepared using the vacuum thermal evaporation method. The distribution of Cu+ on the octahedral 32(f) sites in the Cu2Se crystal was tuned by the Ag content. It was found that when the Ag content was 1.0%, the Cu+ and Ag+ contents in the 32(f) sites reached their maximum, resulting in a power factor of 1750 μW·m-1·K-2 at 530 K. However, as the Ag content increased, the appearance of the second phase CuAgSe led to a decrease in the power factor. The results showed that controlling the distribution of Cu+ by Ag doping is beneficial for improving the thermoelectric properties of beta-Cu2-xSe films.

Jinbin Cui, Shang Sun, Mingdi Lan, Shiying Liu, Yongjun Piao, Guojian Li, Qiang Wang

Summary: The low-dimensional carbon composite is expected to improve the electrical conductivity and reduce the thermal conductivity of thermoelectric materials. This study investigated the effects of different dimensions of carbon (fullerene, carbon nanotubes, and graphene) on the thermoelectric properties of ZnO:Al films. The results showed that the lower the dimension of carbon, the higher the carrier concentration, and the better the thermoelectric performance. Among the three composites, the carbon nanotube composite exhibited the best thermoelectric performance with a power factor of 136.5 mu K-1(-2) at room temperature.

A polymer sponge with dual absorption of mechanical and electromagnetic energy

Di Lan, Hongjun Zhou, Hongjing Wu

Summary: In this study, ice crystals were used as templates for polymerization to obtain polymer precursors with directional channels, and then ternary polymer sponges with oriented pore channels were designed and synthesized using a secondary template method. The study material exhibited a Poisson's ratio of 1.52 and absorbed 5.1 mJ/cm3 energy in a single compression cycle at 25% longitudinal strain. It also showed over 90% absorption efficiency for X-band EM waves at a thickness of 4 mm. The flexibility of polymer molecular chains and the arrangement of oriented pores contribute to its negative Poisson's ratio property, while the conversion of quinone bipolaron to monopolaron structure is key to the loss of EM energy during the absorption process.

High-Intensity Harmonic Generation with Energy Tunability Produced by Robust Two-Color Linearly Polarized Laser Fields

Wendi Lan, Xinyu Wang, Yue Qiao, Shushan Zhou, Jigen Chen, Jun Wang, Fuming Guo, Yujun Yang

Summary: By using numerical methods, we theoretically explored the high-order harmonic generation process when atoms interact with high-intensity two-color ultrashort laser pulses. The symmetry of the laser pulse's electric field is broken in this process. Through controlling the electric field generated by an IR laser and its second harmonic, we were able to control the produced electric field at subcycle level, which showed significant enhancement in harmonic efficiency compared to fundamental laser pulses. The enhancement is attributed to fast ionization of electrons and short ionization-recombination time.

Effect of Zn atomic diffusion due to pulsed electric field treatment on the thermoelectric properties of Zn-Sb films

Zhiwei Wang, Mingdi Lan, Shiying Liu, Guojian Li, Gaoyuan Zhai, Qiang Wang

Summary: By treating the Zn4Sb3 films with periodic pulsed electric field, the diffusion of zinc atoms into the films is achieved, leading to improved thermoelectric properties. The diffusion mode and the resulting electrical properties depend on the pulse period. For pulse periods smaller than 10 s, interstitial zinc atoms diffuse first, increasing carrier concentration and decreasing resistivity. Increasing the pulse period to 100 s leads to the diffusion of more zinc atoms through interstitial position, resulting in the formation of a small amount of ZnSb phase and decreasing carrier concentration while increasing the Seebeck coefficient.

High-order harmonic generation of 1-nonene under linearly polarized laser pulses

Shu-Shan Zhou, Wen-Di Lan, Ji-Gen Chen, Jun Wang, Fu -Ming Guo, Yu -Jun Yang

Summary: This study investigates the high-order harmonic generation of long-chain molecules 1-nonene (C9H18) and 1,3-Butadiene (C4H6) in a few-cycle laser field using time-dependent density-functional theory. The efficiency and cutoff frequency of C9H18 harmonics are found to be higher than those of BF molecules irradiated by the same laser pulse. The harmonics generated near the cutoff energy are caused by electron recombination between atoms in the parent molecule. Additionally, the harmonics generated by C4H6 can be used to produce high-intensity isolated attosecond pulses.
