The effects of the site symmetric distortion induced by the phase transition on up-conversion emission and thermal sensing performance of Gd 2 (MoO 4 ) 3 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ (GMO) crystals are elaborately studied by minimizing interference from many factors. Monoclinic GMO shows much stronger...

Natural disasters (e.g., hurricanes) can cause widespread power outages within distribution networks and interrupted power supply to critical loads (e.g., grocery stores, hospitals, gas, fire, and police stations) that provide utility services. Microgrids are localized power grids that can...
