This paper presents a new method for nondestructive testing-a pulsed multifrequency excitation and spectrogram eddy current testing (PMFES-ECT), which is an extension of the multifrequency excitation and spectrogram eddy current testing. The new method uses excitation in the form of pulses repeated at a specified time, containing several periods of a waveform consisting of the sum of sinusoids with a selected frequency, amplitude and phase. This solution allows the maintenance of the advantages of multifrequency excitation and, at the same time, generates high energy pulses similar to those used in pulse eddy current testing (PECT). The effectiveness of the new method was confirmed by numerical simulations and the measurement of thin Inconel plates, consisting of notches manufactured by the electric-discharge method.

Multifrequency electrical impedance tomography (MFEIT) has shown great application prospects in the field of biomedical imaging. To realize high-precision multifrequency electrical impedance information acquisition, a high-precision MFEIT system with undersampling combined with a fast digital demodulation algorithm is proposed. The system is integrated with 16 electrodes, and semi-parallel acquisition is used.

This paper presents a guided wave multi-frequency localization method based on frequency-dependent velocity anisotropy. This method achieves damage localization in variable-thickness structures with a pair of sensors and can effectively reduce the number of sensors used for monitoring.

Gap surface plasmon (GSP) modes enhance graphene photodetectors (GPDs)' performance by confining the incident light within nanogaps, giving rise to strong light absorption. Here, we propose an asymmetric plasmonic nanostructure array on planar graphene comprising stripe- and triangle-shaped sharp tip arrays. Upon light excitation, the noncentrosymmetric metallic nanostructures show strong light-matter interactions with localized field close to the surface of tips, causing an asymmetric electric field.

We increase the dynamical range of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) by actively subtracting dominant current-harmonics generated by nonlinearities in the current-voltage characteristics that could saturate the current preamplifier at low junction impedances or high gains. The strict phase relationship between a cosinusoidal excitation voltage and the current-harmonics allows excellent cancellation using the displacement-current of a driven compensating capacitor placed at the input of the preamplifier. Removal of DC currents has no effect on, and removal of the first harmonic only leads to a rigid shift in differential conductance that can be numerically reversed by adding the known removal current.
