An approved frequency tracking method in connected element interferometry

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
Carrier tracking loop is a basic method of frequency tracking in CEI (connected element interferometry), but the tracking error is very large or even worse at high dynamic.

Surprising Water Slipping Performance on Highly Hydrophilic PEG‐Derived Monolayer‐Covered Surfaces: Preparation, Mechanism, and Application

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Highly hydrophilic surfaces (water contact angle, ≈17.7°) exhibiting surprising water slipping performance (sliding angle, ≈7.3°) are successfully prepared via simple chemisorption of polyethylene glycol (PEG) organosilane and subsequent alkali‐treatment.

A grid frequency estimation method based on moving average filter half-tangent phase-locked loop

Diance yu yibiao
This paper proposes a half-tangent phase-locked loop (HTan-PLL) with a moving average filter (MAF) for estimating grid frequency. The proposed PLL utilizes a half-tangent phase detector (PD) and introduces MAF into the phase-locked loop to address ...

A Functional 2D Carbon Allotrope Combining Nanoporous Graphene and Biphenylene Segments

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The synthesis of a novel nanoporous graphene (NPG) is reported with biphenylene segments via thermal fusion of 12‐armchair porous graphene nanoribbons grown on gold surfaces. Characterization using STM, AFM, and DFT reveals low‐defect semiconducting behaviour and tunable band gaps.

Universal Conductance Fluctuations in Quantum Anomalous Hall Insulators

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Universal conductance fluctuations are observed in mesoscopic quantum anomalous Hall insulators. Two distinct fluctuation patterns are identified, arising from different interference processes of bulk and chiral edge states, respectively. These findings unveil rich quantum interference phenomena in quantum anomalous Hall insulators and provide insights
