| 1 | Generation of arbitrary vector vortex beams on hybrid-order Poincaré sphere显示文摘We propose theoretically and verify experimentally a method of combining a q-plate and a spiral phase plate to generate arbitrary vector vortex beams on a hybrid-order Poincaré sphere. We demonstrate that a vector vortex beam can be decomposed into a vector beam and a vortex, whereby the generation can be realized by sequentially using a q-plate and a spiral phase plate. The generated vector beam, vortex, and vector vortex beam are verified and show good agreement with the prediction. Another advantage that should be pointed out is that the spiral phase plate and q-plate are both fabricated on silica substrates, suggesting the potential possibility to integrate the two structures on a single plate. Based on a compact method of transmissive-type transformation, our scheme may have potential applications in future integrated optical devices. | Zhenxing Liu Yuanyuan Liu Yougang Ke Yachao Liu Weixing Shu Hailu Luo Shuangchun Wen | 2017 | Photonics Research2017,5,1: | 18 |
| 2 | Giant photonic spin Hall effect in momentum space in a structured metamaterial with spatially varying birefringence显示文摘The photonic spin Hall effect(SHE)in the reflection and refraction at an interface is very weak because of the weak spin-orbit interaction.Here,we report the observation of a giant photonic SHE in a dielectric-based metamaterial.The metamaterial is structured to create a coordinate-dependent,geometric Pancharatnam–Berry phase that results in an SHE with a spin-dependent splitting in momentum space.It is unlike the SHE that occurs in real space in the reflection and refraction at an interface,which results from the momentum-dependent gradient of the geometric Rytov–Vladimirskii–Berry phase.We theorize a unified description of the photonic SHE based on the two types of geometric phase gradient,and we experimentally measure the giant spin-dependent shift of the beam centroid produced by the metamaterial at a visible wavelength.Our results suggest that the structured metamaterial offers a potential method of manipulating spin-polarized photons and the orbital angular momentum of light and thus enables applications in spin-controlled nanophotonics. | Xiaohui Ling Xinxing Zhou Xunong Yi Weixing Shu Yachao Liu Shizhen Chen Hailu Luo Shuangchun Wen Dianyuan Fan | 2015 | Light(Science & Applications)2015,4,1: | 15 |

| 4 | Ultrafast and broadband photodetectors based on a perovskite/organic bulk heterojunction for large-dynamic-range imaging显示文摘Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite(OIHP)photodetectors that simultaneously achieve an ultrafast response and high sensitivity in the near-infrared(NIR)region are prerequisites for expanding current monitoring,imaging,and optical communication capbilities.Herein,we demonstrate photodetectors constructed by OIHP and an organic bulk heterojunction(BHJ)consisting of a low-bandgap nonfullerene and polymer,which achieve broadband response spectra up to 1μm with a highest external quantum efficiency of approximately 54%at 850 nm,an ultrafast response speed of 5.6 ns and a linear dynamic range(LDR)of 191 dB.High sensitivity,ultrafast speed and a large LDR are preeminent prerequisites for the practical application of photodetectors.Encouragingly,due to the high-dynamicrange imaging capacity,high-quality visible-NIR actual imaging is achieved by employing the OIHP photodetectors.We believe that state-of-the-art OIHP photodetectors can accelerate the translation of solution-processed photodetector applications from the laboratory to the imaging market. | Chenglong Li Hailu Wang Fang Wang Tengfei Li Mengjian Xu Hao Wang Zhen Wang Xiaowei Zhan Weida Hu Liang Shen | 2020 | Light(Science & Applications)2020,9,1: | 13 |
| 5 | On a New Genus of Basal Neoceratopsian Dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous of Gansu Province, China显示文摘A new genus and species of basal neoceratopsian dinosaur, Auroraceratops rugosus, is reported based on material from the Early Cretaceous Xinminpu Group in the Gongpoquan Basin of Gansu Province, China. Auroraceratops is represented by a nearly complete skull and low jaws, and different greatly from all other neoceratopsians by its considerable breadth of the nasals, fungiform expansion of the dorsal end of the lacrimal, highly developed rugosity of the jugal, dentary and surangular, and inflated, striated premaxillary teeth. The finding of Auroraceratops adds diversity and helps elucidate the evolution of basal neoceratopsian dinosaurs. | YOU Hailu LI Daqing JI Qiang Matthew C.

| 6 | Efficacy of fascia iliaca compartment nerve block as part of multimodal analgesia after surgery for femoral bone fracture显示文摘BACKGROUND: Fascia iliaca compartment nerve block(FICNB) has been an established technique for postoperative analgesia after surgery for femoral bone fracture. FICNB is technically easy, effective for postoperative pain control after operation for femoral bone fracture and decreases the complications induced by systemic analgesic drugs. The severity of postoperative pain is affected by genetics, cultural and social factors across the world. In this study we assessed the efficacy of fascia iliaca compartment nerve block when it is used as part of multimodal analgesia after surgery for femoral bone fracture.METHODS: An institution-based case control study was conducted from September, 2013 to May, 2014. All patients who had been operated on under spinal anesthesia for femoral bone fracture were included. The patients divided into a FICNB group(n=20) and a control group(n=20). The FICNB group was given 30 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine at the end of the operation. Postoperative pain was assessed within the f irst 24 hours, i.e. at 15 minutes, 2 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours using 100 mm visual analogue scale(VAS), total analgesic consumption, and the time for the f irst analgesic request.RESULTS: VAS pain scores were reduced within the f irst 24 hours after operation in the FICNB group compared wtih the control group. VAS scores at 2 hours were taken as median values(IQR) 0.00(0.00) vs.18.00(30.00), P=0.001; at 6 hours 0.00(0.00) vs. 34.00(20.75), P=0.000; at 24 hours 12.50(10.00) vs. 31.50(20.75), P=0.004; and at 12 hours(17.80±12.45) vs.(29.95±12.40), P=0.004, respectively. The total analgesic consumption of diclofenac at 12 and 24 hours was reduced in the FICNB group, and the time for the fi rst analgesic request was signifi cantly prolonged(417.50 vs. 139.25 minutes, P=0.000).CONCLUSIONS: A single injection for FICNB could lead to postoperative pain relief, reduction of total analgesic consumption and prolonged time for the fi rst analgesic request in the FICNB group after surgery for femoral bone fracture. We recommend FICNB for analgesia after surgery for femoral bone fracture and for patients with femoral bone fracture at the emergency department. | Fentahun Tarekegn Kumie Endale Gebreegziabher Gebremedhn Hailu Yimer Tawuye | 2015 | World Journal of Emergency Medicine2015,6,2: | 13 |

Shenzhouraptor sinensis is characterized by no teeth in its mouth, the forelimbs longer than the hindlimbs, a long tail with more than 23 caudal vertebrae, U-shaped wishbone, and remiges longer than the total length of ulna and manus. It is certain that the new avialian bird is really capable of powerful flight, representing a missing link between theropod dinosaurs and birds. | Ji Qiang, Ji Shu’an, You Hailu, Zhang Jianping,Zhang Hongbin, Zhang Nanjun, Yuan Chongxi and Ji XinxinDepartment of Earth Sciences, Nanjing University, Nanjing, Jiangsu 100093Institute of Geology, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, Beijing 100037 School of Earth and Space Sciences, Peking University, Beijing 100871China University of Geosciences, Beijing 100083 China Dinosaur Park of Changzhou, Changzhou, Jiangsu 213002 | 2003 | Acta Geologica Sinica(English Edition)2003,77,1: | 8 |
| 10 | Polarization evolution of vector beams generated by q-plates显示文摘The polarization evolution of vector beams(VBs) generated by q-plates is investigated theoretically and experimentally.An analytical model is developed for the VB created by a general quarter-wave q-plate based on vector diffraction theory.It is found that the polarization distribution of VBs varies with position and the value q.In particular,for the incidence of circular polarization,the exit vector vortex beam has polarization states that cover the whole surface of the Poincarésphere,thereby constituting a full Poincarébeam.For the incidence of linear polarization,the VB is not cylindrical but specularly symmetric,and exhibits an azimuthal spin splitting.These results are in sharp contrast with those derived by the commonly used model,i.e.,regarding the incident light as a plane wave.By implementing q-plates with dielectric metasurfaces,further experiments validate the theoretical results. | WEIXING SHU XIAOHUI LING XIQUAN FU YACHAO LIU YOUGANG KE HAILU LUO | 2017 | Photonics Research2017,5,2: | 7 |
| 11 | A New Genus of Psittacosauridae (Dinosauria: Ornithopoda) and the Origin and Early Evolution of Marginocephalian Dinosaurs显示文摘An almost complete juvenile dinosaur skull with lower jaw was discovered from the Early Cretaceous Yixian Formation in Beipiao, Liaoning Province, China. Here, the specimen is described and a cladistic analysis is performed in order to find its phylogenetic relationships. The result shows that this specimen represents a new genus of Psittacosauridae, Hongshanosaurus houi, gen. et sp. nov., and confirms the monophyletic status for Ceratopsia and Marginocephalia. However, Heterodontosaurus is found to be the sister taxon to Marginocephalia, rather than a basal Omithopoda. | YOU Hailu Institute of Geology, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, Beijing 100037XU Xing and WANG XiaolinInstitute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100044 | 2003 | Acta Geologica Sinica(English Edition)2003,77,1: | 6 |
| 12 | Two-dimensional optical spatial differentiation and high-contrast imaging显示文摘Optical analog signal processing technology has been widely studied and applied in a variety of science and engineering fields, with the advantages of overcoming the low-speed and high-power consumption associated with its digital counterparts. Much attention has been given to emerging metasurface technology in the field of optical imaging and processing systems. Here, we demonstrate, for the first time, broadband two-dimensional spatial differentiation and high-contrast edge imaging based on a dielectric metasurface across the whole visible spectrum. This edge detection method works for both intensity and phase objects simply by inserting the metasurface into a commercial optical microscope. This highly efficient metasurface performing a basic optical differentiation operation opens up new opportunities in applications of fast,compactible and power-efficient ultrathin devices for data processing and biological imaging. | Junxiao Zhou Haoliang Qian Junxiang Zhao Min Tang Qianyi Wu Ming Lei Hailu Luo Shuangchun Wen Shaochen Chen Zhaowei Liu | 2021 | National Science Review2021,8,6: | 6 |
| 13 | Structure,Orientation and Finite Element Analysis of the Tail Club of Mamenchisaurus hochuanensis显示文摘The structure and orientation of the posterior extremity (tail club) of the caudal vertebrae of Mamenchisaurus hochuanensis Young and Chao, 1972 from the Upper Jurassic Shangshaximiao Formation has been analyzed to determine the tail club function using Finite Element Analysis. Of the four caudal vertebrae composing the tail club, the second largest (C'1') was probably the most proximal, and is fixed with the preceding sequence of the caudal vertebrae, whereas the smallest (C'4') is free and forms the termination of the tail club. Our analysis also suggests that the tail club is more efficient in lateral swinging rather than up-and-down motion, and that the best region for the tail club to impact is at the spine of the largest of the four caudals (C'2'), with a maximum load for impact at about 450 N. The tail club of Mamenchisaurus hochuanensis probably also had limitations as a defense weapon and was more possibly a sensory organ to improve nerve conduction velocity to enhance the capacity for sensory perception of its surroundings. | XING Lida YE Yong SHU Chunkang PENG Guangzhao YOU Hailu | 2009 | Acta Geologica Sinica(English Edition)2009,83,6: | 5 |
| 14 | Effect of particle size on the transformation kinetics of flue gas desulfurization gypsum to α-calcium sulfate hemihydrate under hydrothermal conditions显示文摘The effect of particle size on the transformation kinetics of flue gas desulfurization (FGD)gypsum to α-calcium sulfate hemihydrate (α-HH)in calcium chloride (CaCl2)solutions was investigated to better guide value-added FGD gypsum use.Gypsum samples from different sources were sieved into several size groups,and their transformation rates were compared.The results showed that using FGD gypsum with a smaller particle size accelerated the transformation to α-HH.The size effect accelerated nucleation kinetics of α-HH rather than its crystal growth rate (that is,the thermodynamic driving force for the transformation changed little with particle size variation).Analysis using a kinetics model revealed that a smaller gypsum particle size lowered the overall activation energy barrier for the transformation.This is because the smaller gypsum particles had a larger relative specific surface area and thus provided more nucleation sites and crystalline defects to promote α-HH nucleation.A smaller particle size of FGD gypsum also gave a higher yield of fine α-HH particles because of the increased incidence of primary and secondary nucleation coupled with attrition.This paper indicates the transformation of FGD gypsum into α-HH could be effectively promoted by regulating FGD gypsum particle size. | Hailu Fu Caiyun Jia Qiaoshan Chen Xueting Cao Xiaomin Zhang | 2018 | Particuology2018,16,5: | 5 |
| 15 | Pristine PN junction toward atomic layer devices显示文摘In semiconductor manufacturing,PN junction is formed by introducing dopants to activate neighboring electron and hole conductance.To avoid structural distortion and failure,it generally requires the foreign dopants localize in the designated micro-areas.This,however,is challenging due to an inevitable interdiffusion process.Here we report a brand-new junction architecture,called'layer PN junction',that might break through such limit and help redefine the semiconductor device architecture.Different from all existing semiconductors,we find that a variety of van der Waals materials are doping themselves from n-to p-type conductance with an increasing/decreasing layer-number.It means the capability of constructing homogeneous PN junctions in monolayers'dimension/precision,with record high rectification-ratio(>10^(5))and low cut-off current(<1 pA).More importantly,it spawns intriguing functionalities,like gate-switchable-rectification and noise-signal decoupled avalanching.Findings disclosed here might open up a path to develop novel nanodevice applications,where the geometrical size becomes the only critical factor in tuning charge-carrier distribution and thus functionality. | Hui Xia Man Luo Wenjing Wang Hailu Wang Tianxin Li Zhen Wang Hangyu Xu Yue Chen Yong Zhou Fang Wang Runzhang Xie Peng Wang Weida Hu Wei Lu | 2022 | Light(Science & Applications)2022,11,7: | 4 |
| 16 | Optimized pre-treatment of high strength food waste digestate by high content aluminum-nanocluster based magnetic coagulation显示文摘Coagulation-based pre-treatment efficiency of high strength digestate of food waste(HSDFW) anaerobic digestion is negated by organic ligand-catalyzed decomposition of coagulants. In this study, an efficient HSDFW pre-treatment method, magnetic seeds(MS) coagulation, was employed by using highly stable Keggin Al_(30) nanocluster(PAC_(30)), MS and polyacrylamide(PAM), and its operation was optimized by evaluating the performance of removing turbidity, total suspended solids(TSS), chemical oxygen demand(COD), and total phosphorous(TP) phosphate. Results showed that at the optimum dosage of 4.82 g/L, PAC_(30) demonstrated excellent removals as high as 98.93% ± 0.1% of turbidity, 98.04% ± 0.1% of TSS, 58.28% ± 0.3% of total COD, 99.98% ± 0.01% of TP and 99.50% ± 0.01% of dissolved phosphate, respectively. Apparent molecular weight(AMW) and three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix(3 D-EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy analyses demonstrated more efficient removal of dissolved organic matter(DOM), particularly non-biodegradable and hydrophobic components by PAC_(30) than commercial coagulant. The sedimentation was much improved from 40 min by coagulation/flocculation to about 5 min settling by MS coagulation. The PAC_(30) based magnetic coagulation(MC) presents theoretical guidance on a cost-effective and much less footprint pre-treatment alternative for high strength wastewater. | Tharindu Ritigala Hailu Demissie Yanlin Chen Jiaxi Zheng Libing Zheng Jinxing Zhu Hua Fan Jiao Li Dongsheng Wang Sujithra KWeragoda Rohan Weerasooriya Yuansong Wei | 2021 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2021,33,6: | 4 |
| 17 | Photonic spin Hall effect on the surface of anisotropic two-dimensional atomic crystals显示文摘We examine the spin-orbit interaction of light and photonic spin Hall effect on the surface of anisotropic two-dimensional atomic crystals. As an example, the photonic spin Hall effect on the surface of black phosphorus is investigated. The photonic spin Hall effect manifests itself as the spin-dependent beam shifts in both transverse and in-plane directions. We demonstrate that the spin-dependent shifts are sensitive to the orientation of the optical axis, doping concentration, and interband transitions. These results can be extensively extended to other anisotropic two-dimensional atomic crystals. By incorporating the quantum weak measurement techniques, the photonic spin Hall effect holds great promise for detecting the parameters of anisotropic two-dimensional atomic crystals. | WENSHUAI ZHANG WEIJIE WU SHIZHEN CHEN JIN ZHANG XIAOHUI LING WEIXING SHU HAILU LUO SHUANGCHUN WEN | 2018 | Photonics Research2018,6,6: | 4 |

| 19 | A versatile photodetector assisted by photovoltaic and bolometric effects显示文摘The advent of low-dimensional materials with peculiar structure and superb band properties provides a new canonical form for the development of photodetectors.However,the limited exploitation of basic properties makes it difficult for devices to stand out.Here,we demonstrate a hybrid heterostructure with ultrathin vanadium dioxide film and molybdenum ditelluride nanoflake.Vanadium dioxide is a classical semiconductor with a narrow bandgap,a high temperature coefficient of resistance,and phase transformation.Molybdenum ditelluride,a typical two-dimensional material,is often used to construct optoelectronic devices.The heterostructure can realize three different functional modes:(i)the p-n junction exhibits ultrasensitive detection(450 nm-2μm)with a dark current down to 0.2 pA and a response time of 17μs,(ii)the Schottky junction works stably under extreme conditions such as a high temperature of 400 K,and(iii)the bolometer shows ultrabroad spectrum detection exceeding 10μm.The flexible switching between the three modes makes the heterostructure a potential candidate for next-generation photodetectors from visible to longwave infrared radiation(LWIR).This type of photodetector combines versatile detection modes,shedding light on the hybrid application of novel and traditional materials,and is a prototype of advanced optoelectronic devices. | Wei Jiang Tan Zheng Binmin Wu Hanxue Jiao Xudong Wang Yan Chen Xiaoyu Zhang Meng Peng Hailu Wang Tie Lin Hong Shen Jun Ge Weida Hu Xiaofeng Xu Xiangjian Meng Junhao Chu Jianlu Wang | 2020 | Light(Science & Applications)2020,9,1: | 3 |
| 20 | Effects of sociodemographic characteristics and patients’health beliefs on tuberculosis treatment adherence in Ethiopia:a structural equation modelling approach显示文摘Background:Patients’beliefs are a major factor affecting tuberculosis(TB)treatment adherence.However,there has been little use of Health Belief Model(HBM)in determining the pathway effect of patients’sociodemographic characteristics and beliefs on TB treatment adherence.Therefore,this study was aimed at determining the effect of sociodemographic characteristics and patients’health beliefs on TB treatment adherence based on the HBM concept in Ethiopia.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted in Addis Ababa,Ethiopia among TB patients undertaking treatment.Thirty health centres were randomly selected and one hospital was purposely chosen.Six hundred and ninety-eight TB patients who had been on treatment for 1-2 month,were aged 18 years or above,and had the mental capability to provide consent were enrolled consecutively with non-probability sampling technique from the TB registration book until required sample size achieved.Structured questionnaires were used to collect data.Structural equation modelling was employed to assess the pathway relationship between sociodemographic characteristics,patients’beliefs,and treatment adherence.Results:Of the 698 enrolled participants,401(57.4%)were male and 490(70.2%)were aged 35 years and below.The mean age of participants was 32(±11.7)and the age range was 18-90 years.Perceived barrier/benefit was shown to be a significant direct negative effect on TB treatment adherence(ß=−0.124,P=0.032).In addition,cue to action(ß=−0.68,P≤0.001)and psychological distress(ß=0.08,P<0.001)were shown significant indirect effects on TB treatment adherence through perceived barrier/benefit.Conclusions:Interventions intended to decrease perceived barriers and maximize perceived benefits should be implemented to enhance TB treatment adherence.In addition,it is crucial that counselling is incorporated with the regular directly observed therapy program.Motivators(cue to actions)such as friends,family,healthcare workers,and the media could be used to promote TB treatment adherence. | Habteyes Hailu Tola Mehrdad Karimi Mir Saeed Yekaninejad | 2017 | Infectious Diseases of Poverty2017,6,1: | 3 |
