AI Article Synopsis

  • The study explores the design of one-port SAW resonators that use substrates which exhibit varying degrees of directivity, leveraging the N-SPUDT effect for better performance.
  • It discusses different methods to achieve resonance through adjustments in frequency conditions and incorporates techniques involving quarter-wavelength gaps to optimize design.
  • Simulation results for the N-SPUDT orientation of langasite show a close agreement with theoretical predictions, particularly for small film thicknesses, although actual reflection coefficients from experiments on Al and Cu films deviate slightly from ideal values.

Article Abstract

We discuss the design of one-port surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonators using substrates with a partial or total degree of directivity, that is, the natural single-phase unidirectional transducer (N-SPUDT) effect. A general design method gives a resonance when all three frequencies (the required resonance frequency and the Bragg frequencies) are different. A second method has been derived from the resonance condition for a symmetrical substrate. Two further methods incorporate lamda/4 gaps. The capacitance ratio is presented as a function of the phase of the electrode reflection coefficient. The simulations use data for the N-SPUDT orientation of langasite. The reflection coefficient for Al electrodes has been calculated from finite element modeling (FEM) analysis. The approximate perturbation theory is found to agree well for small film thickness (h/lamda < 2%). The phase of the reflection coefficient is typically 150 degrees, not quite the ideal value of 180 degrees. Measurements on resonators using Al and Cu films are presented.

Sub-micrometer LiPSCl regulated cathodic Li kinetics in sulfide based all-solid-state batteries.

The practical applications of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are hindered by poor Li kinetics in electrodes due to the inadequate contact between the cathode active materials (CAMs) and solid-state electrolytes (SSEs). Therefore, improving the contact interface between CAMs and SSEs is necessary to improve the cathodic Li kinetics by increasing the lithium-ion transport sites. To address this issue, sub-micrometer LiPSCl (SU-LPSC) particles of high specific areas were utilized to fabricate cathodes with high mass loading.

Purpose: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) stage is defined by the visual appearance of the vascular-avascular border, which reflects a spectrum of pathologic neurovascular tissue (NVT). Previous work demonstrated that the thickness of the ridge lesion, measured using OCT, corresponds to higher clinical diagnosis of stage. This study evaluates whether the volume of anomalous NVT (ANVTV), defined as abnormal tissue protruding from the regular contour of the retina, can be measured automatically using deep learning to develop quantitative OCT-based biomarkers in ROP.

The generation of spectral libraries using hyperspectral data allows for the capture of detailed spectral signatures, uncovering subtle variations in plant physiology, biochemistry, and growth stages, marking a significant advancement over traditional land cover classification methods. These spectral libraries enable improved forest classification accuracy and more precise differentiation of plant species and plant functional types (PFTs), thereby establishing hyperspectral sensing as a critical tool for PFT classification. This study aims to advance the classification and monitoring of PFTs in Shoolpaneshwar wildlife sanctuary, Gujarat, India using Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer-Next Generation (AVIRIS-NG) and machine learning techniques.
