ABSTRACT
Based on the high random distribution characteristic of the natural speckle image, a new method of speckle visual cryptography, to the best of our knowledge, is designed by combining the natural speckle image with the secret key in visual cryptography. Specifically, we designed an authentication system for user credentials by combining speckle visual cryptography and the QR code. By using the speckle visual cryptography method, the image of the QR code carrying user authentication information is hidden in the speckle image, and the speckle image is printed on the paper credentials. Through a simulation and analog experiments, we verify the possibility of applying speckle visual cryptography to a user credentials authentication system, compare the improved grayscale reordering algorithm and grayscale reordering algorithm, and prove that the improved grayscale reordering algorithm has more advantages in this system by comparing the PSNR and SSIM. Finally, the y-interference ability and the uniqueness of the virtual secret key in the system are analyzed to prove that the secret key has high anti-interference ability and security.
ABSTRACT
A new polymorph of CsB5O8 has been synthesized. Its crystal structure was determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction spectroscopy. The new polymorph of CsB5O8 with new B10O19 building blocks containing helical chains has been synthesized. The relation and differences of tunnels contained in all of the CsB5O8 polymorphs are discussed to show the exciting diversity of cesium pentaborate.
ABSTRACT
Compounds with isolated anionic groups often exhibit special linear and nonlinear optical properties and possess potential applications such as birefringence, second harmonic generation and stimulated Raman scattering crystals. In this paper, two new alkali and alkaline earth mixed-metal borates, Li3KB4O8 and LiNa2Sr8B12O24F6Cl, with isolated (B12O24)(12-) anionic groups have been successfully synthesized by spontaneous crystallization. Their structures were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction and they both crystallize in the same space group, R3[combining macron]. More interestingly, further structure comparison shows that the discovered anhydrous borates with the (B12O24)(12-) groups also crystallize in the same space group R3[combining macron], which is related with the local symmetry of the (B12O24)(12-) groups. These structural features suggest that the crystal structures of the family of compounds depend more on their anionic groups. In addition, the property characterizations of the two new borates were investigated by TG-DSC, IR and UV-vis-NIR diffuse reflectance.
