Review of Thermally Activated Twisted Coiled Polymer Actuators: A Materials Science Perspective

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Thermally activated twisted and coiled polymer actuators (TCPAs) combine lightweight design, large deformation, and scalable fabrication for soft robotic and wearable applications. This review connects polymer structure, processing history, helix geometry, and thermomechanical characterization to actuator performance, highlighting current challenges in

Detect-and-forward relaying aided cooperative spatial modulation for wireless networks

, 2013
A novel detect-and-forward (DeF) relaying aided cooperative SM scheme is proposed, which is capable of striking a flexible tradeoff in terms of the achievable bit error ratio (BER), complexity and unequal error protection (UEP).

Interface Effects in Ultrathin Silicon on Insulator Films

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work establishes a systematic framework to discriminate how bulk and interface phenomena affect charge transport in ultrathin P‐doped silicon‐on‐insulator (SOI) films. For Si films below 15 nm, electrical characterization demonstrates that interface states drive charge transport, shifting the metal‐insulator transition (MIT) critical dopant ...

Mechanisms of multi-layered Rayleigh noise in Brillouin optical correlation-domain reflectometry

Scientific Reports
In Brillouin optical correlation-domain reflectometry (BOCDR), sinusoidal modulation is applied to the output frequency of a light source, with spatial resolution inversely related to the modulation amplitude.

Synergistic Cu‐Fe Interactions Enhance Phase Transformation Kinetics Toward High‐Performance CuFeS2‐Based All‐Solid‐State Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
CuFeS2 is found to induce the formation of intermediate phases, highlighting a strong Cu–Fe synergistic effect during conversion reactions in lithium all‐solid‐state batteries (Li‐SSBs). The integrated reaction pathway effectively suppresses phase separation and accelerates reaction kinetics, leading to enhanced electrochemical reversibility and ...

IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SIGNAL PROCESSING, VOL. 51, NO. 12, DECEMBER 2003 3263 Adaptive Minimum Symbol-Error Rate Equalization

, 2003
We propose the adaptive minimum symbol-error rate algorithm, which is a low-complexity technique for adapting the coefficients of a linear equalizer in systems using pulse-amplitude or quadrature-amplitude modulation.

Signal regeneration techniques for advanced modulation formats

We review recent results on all-optical regeneration of phase encoded signals based on phase sensitive amplification achieved by avoiding phase-to-amplitude conversion in order to facilitate the regeneration of amplitude/phase encoded (QAM ...

Mesoscale Domain Evolution Mechanism during Alternating Current (AC) Poling of Relaxor Ferroelectrics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ferroelectric domain variants that are energetically equivalent are expected to remain preserved during polarization reversal. However, phase‐field simulations reveal that inclined domain walls in relaxor ferroelectrics can undergo irreversible elimination during alternating current poling through a proximity effect driven by long‐range elastic ...

Coupling Anodic Activity and Stability at Ni‐Based Non‐Oxide Catalysts via Coordinating Alcohol Oxidation and Oxygen Evolution

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A cooperative and competitive interrelationship between alcohol oxidation (AOR) and water oxidation (OER) was observed on a typical anode catalyst of Ni2P. In situ Raman spectroscopy and electrochemical analyses revealed a specific complementary mechanism between them, in which OER and AOR critically contribute to the activity and stability of anodic ...
