Inspection of electrical wires for insulation faults and current surges using sliding temperature sensor based on optical Microfibre coil resonator

, 2013
We present a compact and robust temperature sensor based on an optical microfiber coil resonator packaged around a Teflon tube. The probe can efficiently slide along electrical wires to map the local temperature for locating insulation faults and ...

Halide Composition Controls Phase Morphology and Device Specific Performance in Perovskite Photovoltaics and Light Emitting Diodes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that halide composition determines phase morphology, governing distinct operating mechanisms in mixed halide perovskites. Phase segregating 75% Br compositions enhance solar cell performance, whereas intrinsically phase‐separated 95% Br compositions provide stable light emitting diodes.

Research on stress characteristics of Fabry-Perot sensor with center microbubble structure

Journal of Measurement Science and Instrumentation, 2016
The optical fiber based on silicon materials has a smaller thermal expansion coefficient,therefore it can be used for the preparation of sensor devices which are insensitive to temperature but sensitive to refractive index,strain,stress,etc.For example ...

High‐Efficiency Quantum Defect Generation in Carbon Nanotubes via Oxygen‐Free Photochemistry

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We show that oxygen plays an important role in quantum defect formation in carbon nanotubes and identify reaction conditions to create a range of different quantum defects for photonics and biosensing. ABSTRACT Single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) offer potential for a wide range of applications from optoelectronic devices to biomedical diagnostics.

Lone‐Pair‐Induced Lattice Distortion in Lead‐Free Hybrid Perovskites for High‐Performance Nanogenerators

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A lead‐free tin‐based hybrid perovskite is designed in which stereochemically active lone‐pair electrons on tin distort the crystal lattice and break its symmetry. Blended into a flexible polymer, the material converts pressure into electricity at milliwatt‐scale power density and continues working far below freezing, powering a commercial wristwatch ...

Magneto‐Ionic Devices With Polymer‐Based Electrolytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Polymer electrolytes are introduced for magneto‐ionic devices based on hydroxide and hydrogen ions. The magneto‐ionic effect results in a pronounced voltage‐controlled variation of coercivity in both devices. The switching speed is in the range of 100 ms.

Groove-Based Calibration of Multicore Fiber Bragg Grating Shape Sensors with Rotation-Angle Correction

Sensors
Fiber-optic shape sensors require accurate calibration of the spatial orientation and effective core distances of their sensing planes. We present a rotation-angle correction procedure for sinusoidal calibration of multicore fiber Bragg grating (MCF-FBG)
