In the context of “carbon neutral”, distributed energy, including photovoltaic power generation and energy storage systems, is developing rapidly. Meanwhile, new information technology, such as “Cloud computing, Big data, Internet things, Mobile Internet, AI, Blockchain”, driving digital transformation industry. Under drive, how agents in photovoltaic–storage–use value chain collaborate create ...

Ferromagnetic nanostructures have been electrodeposited within the pores of porous silicon templates with average pore diameters between 25 and 60 nm. In this diameter regime, the pore formation in general is accompanied by dendritic growth resulting in rough pore walls, which involves metal deposits also offering a branched structure. These side branches influence the magnetic properties of th...

Inspiralling compact binaries are ideally suited for application of a high-order post-Newtonian (PN) gravitational wave generation formalism. To be observed by the LIGO and VIRGO detectors, these very relativistic systems (with orbital velocities v ∼ 0.5c in the last rotations) require high-accuracy templates predicted by general relativity theory. Recent calculations of the motion and gravitat...

Mn-doped ZnS nanocrystals based on low dopant concentrations (0-2%) and coated with a shell of Zn(OH)2 have been prepared via soft template and precipitation reaction. The results indicate that the ZnS:Mn nanocrystal is cubic zinc blende structure and its diameter is 3.02 nm as demonstrated by XRD. Measured by TEM, the morphology of nanocrystals is a spherical shape, and their particle size (3-...

Preferred oriented ZnFe2O4 nanowire arrays with an average diameter of 16 nm were fabricated by post-annealing of ZnFe2 nanowires within anodic aluminum oxide templates in atmosphere. Selected area electron diffraction and X-ray diffraction exhibit that the nanowires are in cubic spinel-type structure with a [110] preferred crystallite orientation. Magnetic measurement indicates that the as-pre...

The coexistence between different types of templates has been the choice solution to the information crisis of prebiotic evolution, triggered by the finding that a single RNA-like template cannot carry enough information to code for any useful replicase. In principle, confining d distinct templates of length L in a package or protocell, whose survival depends on the coexistence of the templates...

For the fabrication of metallic nanowires, nanoporous templates are produced by irradiating polymeric foils at the UNILAC facility. After chemical etching of the ioninduced damage tracks, the cylindrical pores of the template are filled with metals by electrodeposition. The resulting nanowires have high aspect ratios (diameter a few ten nm, length a few ten μm). Here, we investigate the texture...

The unifying role that is one of the attractions of image algebra is distinctly less obvious when we come to include median filters and their many close relatives (weighted median filters, rank-order filters, weighted rankorder filters). The convolutional filters, which are linear, and the morphological filters, which are not, fit in naturally and indeed have a pleasingly similar appearance in ...

The application of single molecules as templates for nanodevices is a promising direction for nanotechnology. We use suspended deoxyribonucleic acid molecules or single-walled carbon nanotubes as templates for fabricating superconducting devices and then study these devices at cryogenic temperatures. Because the resulting nanowires are extremely thin, comparable in diameter to the templating mo...

Vertically aligned Zn2SiO4-SiOx(x < 2) core-shell nanotube arrays consisting of Zn2SiO4-nanoparticle chains encapsulated into SiOx nanotubes and SiOx-coated Zn2SiO4 coaxial nanotubes were synthesized via one-step thermal annealing process using ZnO nanowire (ZNW) arrays as templates. The appearance of different nanotube morphologies was due to size-dependent thermal instability and specific mel...
