A thin dielectric plate can support conventional slab modes such as leaky Fabry-Perot, guided waves and radiation modes. When the plate is coated on a metallic subwavelength disk array, it can result in new confined modes, hereby named 'disks scattering slab modes' (DSSMs). By use of a terahertz time-domain spectroscopy system, we experimentally verify the existence of two types of DSSMs in terahertz range: one we refer to as highly confined disks scattering Fabry-Perot-like modes (DSFPMs) and the other as, weakly confined disks scattering radiation-like modes (DSRMs). Spectral characteristics of these confined modes are measured and numerically simulated. Particularly, based on the experimental results and a dipole-scattering model developed here, we show that the features of the DSFPMs can be tuned by changing the filling fraction of the disk array. We believe these results can make important contributions to the designs of new terahertz devices, including tunable absorbers and filters.

The absorptivity of La in pure copper and the effects of La microalloying on microstructure evolution of pure copper were studied by adding different La contents to pure copper under vacuum condition. The microstructure of copper ingots with different La contents were synthetically analyzed by means of optical microscope (OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the content of La in ingots was tested using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The results showws that the absorptivity of La in pure copper was more than 90% under vacuum condition and the burning rate was mainly determinated by autoxidation of La and the reaction with impurity elements in copper. The microstructure of copper ingot was refined with La addition. The columnar to equiaxed transition (CET) occured with 0.14% La addition and the microstructure of copper ingot was full equiaxed grains when La content was 0.16%. The CET mechanism was that the constitutional supercooling in copper melt was increased with La addition. The tensile strength of copper alloys could be improved slightly, while the elongation was decreased a little after La alloying.

The development of low-carbon energy economy has become common choice of the world to solve energy security and environmental issues in the context of climate change and energy issues. Carrying out construction of intelligent community becomes the key technology for optimizing energy efficiency of smart grid. This paper focuses on low-carbon energy management system of intelligent community, which including: construction mode, functional configuration and mode switching condition on low-carbon energy management system of intelligent community as well as the coordination between the upper and lower subsystem. These can provide reference technology solutions for energy management of intelligent community in China.
