The need for quality assessment of anthropogenic impact on environmental pollution is increasing due to discharge from various industries, the use of chemicals in agriculture and the consumption of fossil fuels. Diminishing resources such as natural waters used for the cultivation of agricultural products, plant and animal habitats are under severe pollution pressure and are at constant risk. Several parameters, such as Pb, Cd, Ni, Hg were listed by Water Framework Directive in Directive (2008/105/EC) in the priority substances. Cadmium and Hg were identified as priority hazardous substances whereas As is an important contaminant for its potential toxicological and carcinogenic effects.
An inter-comparison study is organised in EURAMET TC-MC in order to demonstrate the capability participants for measuring five elements in river water. The participants carried out measurements for analytes: Pb, Cd, Ni and As as mandatory elements, and Se as an optional one. Participants were asked to perform the measurements with respect to the protocol provided.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
In low- and middle-income countries, three-dimensional printing (3DP) microfluidic devices have demonstrated their potential to be employed in a variety of point-of-care testing applications. This is due to the fact that they offer many advantages over traditional fabrication techniques, like rapid response, easy integration with miniaturized systems, requiring less sample volume, fast prototyping and cost-effectiveness. To the best of our knowledge for the first time, a novel 3D printed single electrode based electrochemiluminescence (3DP-SE-ECL) sensing device was fabricated and utilized to detect various analytes. To fabricate the 3DP-SE-ECL device, the commercially available conductive filaments, like graphene and carbon, were used and an in-depth analysis was performed by sensing H2O2. Furthermore, in order to validate the analytical performance, the best conductive material (graphene filament) was chosen to realize the optimized 3DP-SE-ECL platform, which was validated for lactate sensing. To detect the electrochemiluminescence signal, two approaches were used, first using photomultiplier tube (PMT) and the second by using a smartphone. The lactate concentration was changed from 100 to 7000 µM and a linear range was obtained from 100 to 1000 µM using both PMT and smartphone. Further, the limit of detection was measured to be 6.47 µM and 5.33 µM by smartphone and PMT respectively. To validate the practical usability of 3DP-SE-ECL, real sample analysis of lactate with standard spiking method was performed with excellent recovery rate. Overall, the fabricated 3D-SE-ECL device has the possibilities to be used for a variety of applications, including biomedical and environmental monitoring.
Study of MFL signal identification in pipelines based on non-uniform magnetic charge distribution patterns
Authors: Liu Bin , Lian Zheng , Liu Tong , Wu Zihan , Ge Qian 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Magnetic flux leakage (MFL), a pipeline internal detection, is the mainstream technology for international oil and gas pipeline safety maintenance. To address the problem of large errors in the assessment of defects in pipeline inspection by existing theoretical analysis models, this paper introduces the charge density parameter to establish a mathematical model of non-uniform magnetic charge for pipeline leakage detection and calculates the non-uniform distribution pattern of magnetic charge on the defect side wall. The contour plot method is proposed to visually analyze the size of defects. To compare the error between uniform and non-uniform models, and verify the correctness of the theoretical model, experiments were systematically conducted on the X70 pipeline with internal MFL technology. The results show that: the magnetic charge distribution curve is symmetrically shaped at the center of the defect, with a valley at the center and two peaks at the defect edge. As the defect depth and width increase, the magnetic charge density increases sharply near the surface and edge. The peak-to-valley spacing and peak-to-valley values in the contour map of the MFL signal can directly reflect the location and size of defects. The signal characteristic values follow the trend of a first-order decreasing exponential function as the value of the lift-off increases. The first-order derivative of the signal characteristic value tends to decrease and then increase as the mesh size decreases, and the extreme point of the derivative curve is the best mesh size.
A computational modelling of carbon layer formation on treeing branches

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Polymeric insulation employed in electrical power industry undergo irreversible and unpredictable ageing due to partial discharges (PDs). In particular, the dielectric properties of polyethylene (PE) used in high voltage cables are often compromised by the formation of electrical trees. In this work we assume that the propagation of treeing channels involves the injection of carbonic material into the gas interacting with the surface of the defect. Experimental characterizations proved that, in certain conditions, disordered graphitic carbon can form in some areas of the electrical trees, thus increasing surface conductivity and inhibiting PDs. The chemical mechanism involved in this process is yet to be clarified. Here we propose a model for this process. By means of a series of molecular dynamics simulations, we show how the chemisorption of gaseous molecules on a PE surface can lead to a bidimensional carbonic structure. The characterization of the density of states of such systems suggests that the presence of pure carbon adsorbed on the polymer causes an increase in surface conductivity.

Abstract

Objective. The aim of the paper is to propose an all-in-one method based on magnetic resonance-supersonic shear wave imaging (MR-SSI) and proton resonance frequency shift (PRFS) to monitor high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) thermal ablations. Approach. Mechanical properties have been shown to be related to tissue damage induced by thermal ablations. Monitoring elasticity in addition to temperature changes may help in ensuring the efficacy and the accuracy of HIFU therapies. For this purpose, an MR-SSI method has been developed where the ultrasonic transducer is used for both mechanical wave generation and thermal ablation. Transient quasi-planar shear waves are generated using the acoustic radiation force, and their propagation is monitored in motion-sensitized phase MR images. Using a single-shot gradient-echo echo-planar-imaging sequence, MR images can be acquired at a sufficiently high temporal resolution to provide an update of PRFS thermometry and MR-SSI elastography maps in real time. Main results. The proposed method was first validated on a calibrated elasticity phantom, in which both the possibility to detect inclusions with different stiffness and repeatability were demonstrated. The standard deviation between the 8 performed measurements was 2% on the background of the phantom and 11%, at most, on the inclusions. A second experiment consisted in performing a HIFU heating in a gelatin phantom. The temperature increase was estimated to be 9 °C and the shear modulus was found to decrease from 2.9 to 1.8 kPa, reflecting the gel softening around the HIFU focus, whereas it remained steady in non-heated areas. Significance. The proposed MR-SSI technique allows monitoring HIFU ablations using thermometry and elastography simultaneously, without the need for an additional external mechanical exciter such as those used in MR elastography.
Toward sub-micron pixels for short-wave infrared imaging

Published: December 2022

Abstract
The sensitivity of infrared (IR) imagers can be significantly improved by reducing the size of photodetectors down to the diffraction limit. Emerging low-dimensional material enable submicron photodetectors, which can be diffraction limited and lead to significant sensitivity improvement in the critical short-wave IR band. However, reaching this limit requires pixel sizes smaller than the metal bumps needed for hybridization to silicon readout chips. Such tiny fragile pixels are susceptible to damages due to the mechanical pressure applied during flip-chip bonding, degrading the number of functional camera pixels. Herein, we systematically characterize the influence of the detector size on the imager pixel yield. We then introduce strategies for improving the yield of sub-micron pixels from less than half of total pixels to more than 3/4 of them. While we used a top-down fabrication for our detectors, the developed method is also applicable to bottom-up fabrication methods to make highly sensitive IR cameras based on emerging low-dimensional material such as catalyst-assisted nanowires.

Abstract
Microwave annealing (MWA) processes were used for the first time to obtain Ti supersaturated Si. High Ti doses were ion implanted on Si substrates and subsequently MWA processed to recrystallize the amorphous layer. The resulting layers were monocrystalline with a high density of defects. Ti depth profiles indicate that diffusion is avoided once recrystallization is produced. Finally, the electronic transport properties measurements point to a decoupling effect between the Si:Ti layer and the substrate. The implanted layer present also a shallow donor and very high Hall mobility.

Abstract
Transition metal chalcogenides have been studied for their potential applications in optoelectronic devices such as light emitting diodes, solar cells, photodetectors, field-effect transistors, etc. Their unique structural and versatile electronic and optical properties, non-toxic chemical nature and abundance are some of the features that have attracted tremendous attention from researchers. In this study, optimised junctions formed between zirconium sulphide (ZrS2) and copper zinc tin sulphide (CZTS), copper indium sulphide, copper indium selenide and cadmium telluride absorber layers have been explored and compared using SCAPS (a solar cell capacitance simulator program) for photovoltaic applications. The impact of operating temperature, illumination intensity, series and shunt resistances on cell performance has been discussed in detail. Comparative study concluded that the Al-ZnO/ZrS2/CZTS structure presents the best efficiency of 9.72% at room temperature. Other performance parameters obtained are short circuit current density J
sc = 25.16 mA cm−2, open circuit voltage V
oc = 0.61 and fill factor FF = 68.86%. The external quantum efficiency response was examined under the AM1.5 spectrum for different device models. The simulation results suggest that n-ZrS2 can be used as an excellent buffer layer to fabricate environmentally friendly non-toxic solar cells.
Enhanced performance of InAs-based interband cascade lasers emitting between 10–13 µm

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Interband cascade lasers (ICLs) based on the type-II quantum well (QW) active region have attracted much attention for a range of practical applications in the mid-infrared due, in part, to their low power consumption. However, extending the operating wavelength of these ICLs into the long-wave infrared region presents several challenges including the reduced thermal conductivity of the optical cladding layers and the diminished wavefunction overlap in the type-II QW. One solution to alleviate the former concern is to use InAs-based ICLs. To solve the latter problem, InAs0.5P0.5 barriers are introduced in the active region, which lowers the electronic energy level and allows for the InAs well width to be reduced at longer emission wavelengths. Here the advancement of long wavelength ICLs, made from four new InAs-based ICL wafers grown by molecular beam epitaxy, is reported. These ICLs lased in the wavelength range from 10 to 13 µm and showed significantly improved performance compared with previous ICLs, including the first demonstration of broad-area devices operating in continuous wave mode beyond 12 µm. These ICLs exhibited substantially increased output powers with reduced threshold voltages (V
th) and current densities (J
th). They operated at temperatures up to 40 K higher than previous ICLs at similar wavelengths.

-dimensional spacetime lattice. The framework is based on a discrete-time quantum walk, and is hence inherently unitary and strictly local, i.e. transition amplitudes exactly vanish outside of a lightcone on the lattice. We then provide a lattice Noether’s theorem for internal symmetries of this action. We further couple this action to an electromagnetic field by a minimal substitution on the lattice. Finally, we suggest a real-time LGT-type action for the electromagnetic field in arbitrary spacetime dimensions, and derive its classical equations of motion, which are lattice versions of Maxwell’s equations.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Transparent conductive thin films require multilayer coatings involving metals and dielectrics with high refractive indices. Radiofrequency (RF) magnetron sputtering technique was used to accurately fabricate the SiO2/Ag/ZnO multilayers on the corning glass substrates at 298 K to be used in Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) reflectors, solar cell, and photovoltaic applications. This method optimizes coating processes in a uniform, homogeneous manner, resulting in improved optical and electrical properties, thermal endurance, and long-term stability. The technique was used to synthesize highly translucent and conductive multilayers. The structural, optical, and electrical properties as a function of temperature in the range from 25 °C to 450 °C were detailed. The crystallite size (D

cry
), lattice microstrain (ε), dislocation density (δ), and crystallites per unit surface area (N) were calculated. The values of (D

cry
) increased while the other parameters decreased with increasing temperature. The linear optical parameters were calculated. The optical results demonstrated that temperature had an impact on the studied multilayers’ optical properties. The dielectric constants, the loss factor, the AC electrical conductivity, the exponential factor, and the activation energy for the dominant conductivity mechanism were all calculated using the capacitance and conductance pathways.
Dynamic matrix theory for resonance response of plasmonic metamaterial lattice
Authors: Liu Wanguo , Liu Beiyun , Li Xinfei , Hu Hai 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
In this paper, a lattice dynamics method, named M-K matrix method, is proposed to investigate the near-field resonance response of a plasmonic metamaterial lattice under an oblique incident field with an arbitrary incident angle. By considering the electric, magnetic and field-dipole interactions, we construct a dissipative many-body Lagrange model for a reference lattice. A collective forced vibration equation, with the degree of freedom equals to the number of nanoparticles in a cell, is introduced to describe the lattice resonance under a polarized field. The resonance frequencies can be conveniently obtained from the poles of transfer function matrix. Based on this elegant matrix differential equation, one can calculate the amplitude-frequency and phase-frequency responses of plasmonic lattice, and analysis the normal modes from dispersion relations. The analytical results, which are from three examples: simple square lattice, binary chain and chessboard lattice, are perfectly matched with numerical simulations in a large frequency band, proving it to be an effective tool to calculate the dynamic response of plasmonic lattice.
Repetition-rate-tunable second harmonic generation in mode-locked optically pumped semiconductor disk laser
Authors: Zhuang Bihui , Hua Lingling , Tian Jinrong , Zhang Peng , Song Yanrong 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
We demonstrated a repetition-rate-tunable second harmonic mode-locked optically pumped semiconductor disk laser (OP-SDL), and the tuning range was from 1.168 GHz to 1.25 GHz. The entire tuning process was continuous, and OP-SDL was always in a mode-locked working state. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to obtain intracavity repetition rate tunable second harmonic laser in an OP-SDL. At same time, the repetition rate of fundamental wave can be continuously adjusted from 1.16 GHz to 1.66 GHz. The central wavelengths of the pulse trains were around 971 nm, and the highest repetition rate signal-to-noise ratio was more than 60 dB, indicating that the mode-locked pulses were stable.
On the issue of wearing mechanism of abrasive wheels during rails grinding

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Issues related to the study and theoretical description of the mechanism of wear of abrasive grains on a grinding tool used in the machining of railway rails are reviewed in the article. Abrasive wheels often do not cope with the task of removing surface defects that partially remain on the treated surface. In this case, the rail-grinding train is forced to make several passes (3 …4 passes). This leads to a decrease in the productivity of the rail grinding process. It is noted that it is possible to achieve an increase in the productivity of grinding the rails by controlling the pressing force of the wheels to the machined surface of the rail head. It is shown that the role of the destruction of the wheel grains in the grinding of the working profile, and, consequently, the profile of the rail head remains undisclosed. These unresolved issues of the mechanisms of abrasive wheels wearing during rails grinding require their own special studies. The process of formation of the individual grain wearing surface during grinding is described. It is noted that the mechanism of wearing of abrasive wheels is predictable. In this work, theoretical studies are carried out and the process of wearing of the abrasive grain is idealized, as well as mathematical simulation of the process of wearing of an individual particle is carried out on the basis of the analysis. The size of the areas of grain wearing and the intensity of its growth is the most important factor that characterizes the wearing of the tool caused by the destruction and loss of grains from the bond.
