A circular-route scanning method called α-β circular scanning is proposed and realized using sinusoidal signals with a constant phase difference of π/2. Experiments show that the circular scanning range of α-β circular scanning is 57% greater than the rectangular scanning range of raster scanning within an effective optical field of view. Moreover, the scanning speed is improved by 7.8% over raster scanning because the whole sine signal is utilized in α-β circular scanning whereas the flyback area of the saw-tooth signal needs to be discarded in raster scanning. The maximum scanning acceleration decreases by a factor of 44, drastically decreasing the high noise, which should considerably elongate the lifetime of the galvanometers while inhibiting internal vibration. The proposed α-β circular scanning technique could be used in scanning imaging, optical tweezers and laser-beam fabrication.
Phosphogypsum has poor cementitious activity, which hinders its large consumption in the field of building materials. By studying the phase and microstructure of phosphogypsum pretreated by alkali activation, and the compressive strength, and microstructure of the non-sintering building materials prepared with the high content phosphogypsum, the process parameters of preparing high content and high compressive strength non-burning building materials with phosphogypsum were obtained. The result showed that, when 100 g phosphogypsum was added with 200 mL activator, after 24 hours of excitation under room temperature, the main crystalline phase CaSO4·2H2O of phosphogypsum have smaller grains and lower crystallinity. Microstructure analysis showed that the particles of tabular phosphogypsum were powdered, and the original plate-like crystal form became smaller plates. Thus, its gelation activity was improved. When the content of phosphogypsum was 80%, the compressive strength of non-burning building materials after maintenance for 7 days, 28 days and after immersion in water for 24h were 15.13 MPa, 16.4 MPa and 11.8 MPa, respectively. The micro morphology showed that the particle size gradient was appropriate and the density was very high, which was very beneficial to improve the strength of the material.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
