Chiral metamaterials have stronger optical activity than natural materials within the terahertz frequencies, so they have attracted more attention. By arranging special silicon structures at terahertz frequencies, we propose an all-silicon-based extrinsic chirality structure with high outer circular dichroism in this paper. And its circular birefringence is also better than average. The properties of our all-silicon-based metamaterials are generated due to the resonance between the circularly polarized incident wave and the special silicon structure of the surface. The circular dichroism of the device due to transmission can reach 0.54. And we obtained the maximum polarization rotation angle can achieve 50°. In addition, the chirality of the device can be dynamically changed between 0.63THz-0.79THz. Such control can be achieved merely by changing the incident tilt angle. Our research can be applied to terahertz circular polarizer and polarimeter, which has great potential in optical path construction, light detection, signal transmission and processing.
Based on the influence of surface metal materials on electric field, a terahertz metamaterial absorber with a highly symmetrical open box was designed. Aiming at the traditional square ring absorber, the absorber is made of three open square rings and a pair of symmetrical strips of silicon. Starting from the structure and material of the absorber, the absorption rate of the absorber to the three-frequency band wave is regulated by changing the size of the surface metal ring, changing the thickness of the dielectric layer, changing the dielectric constant of the dielectric layer material, and adjusting the conductivity of the silicon material after the addition of semiconductor silicon. When no semiconductor silicon is added, the absorption rate of the absorber in the low frequency band reaches 94.77% and the absorption frequency band is 0.73thz. By increasing the thickness of dielectric layer, the phenomenon of redshift is obvious, which can realize the purpose of continuous frequency band absorption. By adding the silicon strip with symmetrical structure and changing the conductivity comparison, it is found that it can close the absorption peak in the high frequency band, reducing the absorption rate to less than %, and at the same time affecting the absorption rate of the low frequency band.
Real-time detection for living cells in vitro is essential for cell physiology, leading to a strong requirement of low cost and label free biosensors. At present, the terahertz plasmonic metamaterials (TPMMs) are an especially attractive application for biosensing owing to their sharp resonances respond. Compared with traditional biosensors, such as flow cytomertry, the TPMMs biosensors have many unique advantages, containing real-time monitoring, free label and high sensitivity. In this paper, we proposed a TPMMs which is designed by digging out periodically arranged regular hexagonal holes on the metal plate with the thickness of 200 nm. The samples of the TPMMs is used as a platform for detecting liver cancer cell GEP2 concentration at five levels (1 × 104, 5 × 104, 1 × 105, 3 × 105 and 5 × 105cells/ml). The results show that The THz PMMs biosensor cannot distinguish cell concentrations within the orders of magnitude between 1 × 104 and 5 × 104 cells/ml, however, it can distinguish cell concentrations within the orders of magnitude between 1 × 104 and 1 × 105 cells/ml based on the x-polarized reflection spectrum TPMMs biosensor. On the other hand, the transmission spectrum TPMMs biosensor has a significant detectability of the orders of magnitude cell concentration between 104 and 105 cells/ml. The proposed TPMMs biosensor paves a fascinating platform for have been widely applied for cell detection, biotechnology.
The cavitation gain refers to the phenomenon of increasing the number and intensity of cavitation by lowering the threshold of cavitation. Microparticles play a direct and critical role in the cavitation process. Laser cavitation gain based on microparticles has been found. To study the mechanism of cavitation gain, the finite-difference time-domain simulation model is established to analyze the field enhancement effect around the microparticle under laser irradiation. A laser-induced cavitation experiment platform is built, and the pulsation process of cavitation is recorded by a high-speed camera. Combined with FLUENT bubble collapse vector model, the impact of the cavitation water jet on the wall is analyzed. The result shows that microparticles reduce the cavitation threshold of liquid. Owing to the field enhancement effect at the bottom of microparticles, the number of primary cavitation bubbles in the mixed solution is greater than that in distilled water under the same experimental conditions, and the dominant cavitation bubble has a larger radius and a longer pulsation period. The bubble collapse near the wall produces an obvious water jet and wall-leaning effect, and the pressure on the wall in the microparticles mixture is higher than that in distilled water. Cavitation gain of microparticles in the laser-induced cavitation processing is helpful in revealing the mechanism of cavitation erosion and solving the problem of cavitation damage. The behavior of cavitation gain can help us rationally utilize water jet force produced by laser-induced cavitation in microparticle mixtures, which has a profound influence on the innovative development of material surface micromachining.
An new composite strengthening and prolongation technique was discussed on the key components of pellet traveling
grate, which are prone to thermal vibration fatigue, contact fatigue and wear resistance under the alternating high/low
temperature. CO2 laser remelting was used to subject the key components of pellet traveling grate, improving the
material's surface hardness, and the advanced surface treatment technique by utilizing intense laser shockwave was
adopt. The impact of residual compressive stress generated by laser shock processing on fatigue life of surface cracks was discussed, and laser shock could effectively alleviate the residual stress at the surface and significantly improve the fatigue life and anti-stress corrosion performance. The result shows that composite laser treatment could effectively close up and repair cracks.
Laser shock forming(LSF) is a new forming technique of sheet metal by applying a compressive shock wave on the surface of metal sheet. The plastic deformation of TA2 titanium metal sheet is performed under single laser shocking perpendicularly with Nd:Glass laser developed in Jiangsu University. The residual stress state in the horizontal and diagonal direction of the foursquare specimen, as well as the residual stress state in the radial direction of the circular specimen, was investigated with X-ray stress analyzer. The residual stress state of laser shock forming specimen is unique to some extent by contrast with traditional punch forming, which is influenced by the specimen shape and the deformation rate. The experiment results show that residual stresses value of TA2 Titanium Sheet Metal in laser shock area are up to 100MPa.Square specimen is more difficult to be formed than circular specimen, and the press value of cave is the larger than the one of convex.
