Ⅰ-Ⅲ-Ⅵ chalcogenide semiconductor nanocrystals:Synthesis,properties,and applications

Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals have been proven to be promising candidates for applications in low‐cost and high‐performance photovoltaics,bioimaging,and photocatalysis due to their novel size‐and shape‐dependent properties.Among the colloidal systems,I‐III‐VI semiconductor nanocrystals(NCs)have drawn much attention in the past few decades.Compared to binary NCs,ternary I‐III‐VI NCs not only exhibit low toxicity,but also a high performance similar to that of binary NCs.In this review,we mainly focus on the synthesis,properties,and applications of I‐III‐VI NCs.We summarize the major synthesis methods,analyze their photophysical and electronic properties,and highlight some of the latest applications of I‐III‐VI NCs in solar cells,light‐emitting diodes,bioimaging,and photocatalysis.Finally,based on the information reviewed,we highlight the existing problems and challenges.

Reliability Distribution of Numerical Control Lathe Based on Correlation Analysis

Combined Reliability distribution with correlation analysis,a new method has been proposed to make Reliability distribution where considering the elements about structure correlation and failure correlation of subsystems.Firstly,we make a sequence for subsystems by means of TOPSIS which comprehends the considerations of Reliability allocation,and introducing a Copula connecting function to set up a distribution model based on structure correlation,failure correlation and target correlation,and then acquiring reliability target area of all subsystems by Matlab.In this method,not only the traditional distribution considerations are concerned,but also correlation influences are involved,to achieve supplementing information and optimizing distribution.

Spatio-spectral dynamics of soliton pulsation with breathing behavior in the anomalous dispersion fiber laser

We have numerically and experimentally observed the soliton pulsation with obvious breathing behavior in the anomalous fiber laser mode-locked by a nonlinear polarization rotation technique.The numerical study of the soliton pulsation with breathing behavior was analyzed through the split-step Fourier method at first,and it was found that the phase difference caused by the polarization controller would affect the breathing characteristics.Then,taking advantage of the dispersive Fourier transform technique,we confirmed the breathing characteristic of soliton pulsation in the same fiber laser as the simulation model experimentally.These results complement the research on the breathing characteristic of soliton pulsation.

Analysis on Failure Mode Severity of Machining Center Spindle System

According to the subjectivity and fuzziness of analysis on failure mode severity about spindle system of machining center,an analysis model of the failure mode severity of such a system is proposed based on the new fault severity index system, improved analytic hierarchy process( IAHP) and entropy-based fuzzy comprehensive evaluation. IAHP and entropy methods are adopted to determine the comprehensive failure severity index weight. The evaluation result is obtained after the factor set,comment set,weight set,and other parameters are determined,and then the level of risk degree and numerical value order of every spindle system failure mode is given. By taking an example,we verify that the proposed method can quantify the qualitative problem comprehensively,obtain more accurate analysis results,and provide the theoretical reference for mechanization and sequencing of failure mode effect analysis in reliability analysis. The calculation results can also serve as the basis of failure mode,effects,and criticality analysis in the subsequent step.

Highly luminescent and stable lead-free cesium copper halide perovskite powders for UV-pumped phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes

Lead halide perovskites have drawn extensive attention over recent decades owing to their outstanding photo-electric performances.However,their toxicity and instability are big issues that need to be solved for further commercialization.Herein,we adopt a facile dry ball milling method to synthesize lead-free Cs3Cu2X5(X=I,CI)perovskites with photoluminescence(PL)quantum yield up to 60%.The optical features including broad emission spectrum,large Stokes shift,and long PL lifetime can be attributed to self-trapped exciton recombination.The as-synthesized blue emissive Cs3Cu2I5 and green emissive Cs3Cu2Cl5 lead-free perovskite powders have good thermal stability and photostability.Furthermore,UV-pumped phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes were obtained by using Cs3Cu2I5 and Cs3Cu2Cl5 as phosphors.
