Ce3+ and Tb3+ co-doped BaAl2B2O7 phosphors were synthesized by the solid-state method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to characterize the phase structure. The photoluminescent properties of Ce3+ and Tb3+ co-doped BaAl2B2O7 phosphors were investigated by using the photoluminescence emission and excitation spectra. Under the excitation of near ultraviolet (n-UV) light, BaAl2B2O7:Ce3+,Tb3+ phosphors exhibited blue emission corresponding to the f-d transition of Ce3+ ions and green emission bands corresponding to the f-f transition of Tb3+ ions, respectively. Effective energy transfer occurred from Ce3+ to Tb3+ in BaAl2B2O7 host due to the observed spectra overlap between the emission spectrum of Ce3+ ion and the excitation spectrum of Tb3+ ion. The energy transfer efficiency from Ce3+ ion to Tb3+ ion was also calculated to be 71%. Furthermore, the concentration quenching and critical distance of BaAl2B2O7:Ce3+,Tb3+ phosphors were also discussed. The energy transfer from Ce3+ to Tb3+ in BaAl2B2O7 host was demonstrated to be resonant type via a dipole-dipole interaction mechanism with the energy transfer critical distance of 16.13 angstrom.

Based on Q-Learning Optimal Tracking Control Schemes for Linear It(O)over-cap Stochastic Systems With Markovian Jumps

Mei Li, Jiayue Sun, Huaguang Zhang, Zhongyang Ming

Summary: In this paper, a Q-learning algorithm is developed to solve the optimal tracking control problem for stochastic systems with Markovian jump. The problem is formulated using a stochastic augmented system and Q-learning ideas are applied to find a solution. A critic neural network is used to estimate the optimal cost function, while an actor neural network approximates the optimal controller. The Q-learning algorithm avoids the need for transition probability and system matrix requirements.

Event-Triggered Cooperative Adaptive Fuzzy Control for Stochastic Nonlinear Systems With Measurement Sensitivity and Deception Attacks

Huaguang Zhang, Xiyue Guo, Jiayue Sun, Yu Zhou

Summary: In this article, the study focuses on the problem of leaderless adaptive fuzzy consensus control for stochastic nonlinear multiagent systems with unknown measurement sensitivity and false data injection attacks. By considering the coexistence of these two cases and utilizing Nussbaum functions and fuzzy logic systems, controllers and adaptive laws are codesigned to address the challenge in both deterministic and stochastic multiagent systems. An improved switching threshold event-triggered mechanism is proposed to reduce communication burden, and a leaderless asymptotic consensus control scheme is put forward. The Lyapunov stability theorem guarantees the boundedness and consensus control performance of all signals. Simulation examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

Fully Distributed Event-Driven Coordination With Actuator Faults

Jiayue Sun, Zilong Tan, Shu Liu, Huaguang Zhang, Wenyu Chuo

Summary: This article investigates the event-driven fault-tolerance (ETFT) consensus problem for general linear multiagent systems (MASs) with partial loss of effectiveness and bias faults of actuators in leader-follower networks. The proposed event-driven algorithm is fully distributed, independent of global information and additive fault boundaries. A consensus error prediction model is used to avoid the limitation of continuously monitoring neighbors' state under event-driven conditions. Zeno behavior is excluded by proving that any adjacent event interval for each agent is greater than zero. Simulation results verify the proposed approach.

Rui Wang, Junqi Liu, Qiuye Sun, Huaguang Zhang, Xinrui Liu, Jiayue Sun, Lei Liu, Peng Wang

Summary: To achieve accurate current sharing and voltage regulation in DC microgrids, this article proposes a communication-free intelligent edge control strategy.

By converting the cooperative control problem into an optimal control problem, the voltage regulation and current sharing can be solved concurrently. The proposed control approach, which utilizes an intelligent edge control strategy with PIDM, is verified through simulation results.
