This gradual changed inductor has less eddy-current effect than the conventional inductor of fixed metal width and space. So the series resistance can be reduced and the quality (Q) factor of the inductor relating to metal losses is increased. The obtained experimental results corroborate the validity of the proposed method. For a 6nH inductor on high-resistivity silicon at 2.46GHz,Q factor of 14.25 is 11.3% higher than the conventional inductor with the same layout size. This inductor can be integrated with radio frequency integrated circuits to gain better performance in RF front end of a wireless communication system.展开更多

The results indicated that the major sources of the losses were (a) evaporation of the metals, (b) formation of the NiTi scalp and (c) the sprinkling drops splashed out of the melt due to the exothermic reactions occurring between Ni and Ti to form the NiTi parent phase. Quantitative evaluations were made for the metallic losses by holding the molten alloy for 0.5, 3, 5, 10 and 15 min at around 100℃ above the melting point inside the crucible.Chemical analysis showed that there existed an optimum holding time of 3 min during which the alloying elements were only dropped to a predictable limit. Microstructure, chemical composition, shape memory and mechanical properties of the cast metal ingots were determined to indicate the appropriate achievements with the specified 3 min optimum holding time.展开更多

However, the light absorption loss for the metallic reflectors with nanotexture structure is often neglected. Here, the influence of absorption loss of metallic nanotextured reflectors on the LED optoelectronic properties were studied. Two commonly used metal reflectors Ag and Al were applied to green GaN-based LEDs. By applying a Ag nanotextured reflector, the light output power of the LEDs was enhanced by 78% due to the improved light extraction. For an Al nanotextured reflector, however,only a 6% enhancement of the light output power was achieved. By analyzing the metal absorption using finite-difference timedomain(FDTD) and the metal reflectivity spectrum, it is shown that the surface plasmon(SP) intrinsic absorption of metallic reflectors with nanotexture structure play an important role. This finding will aid the design of the high-performance metal nanotextured reflectors and optoelectronics devices.展开更多

The SiC-Al_2O_3-Y_2O_3 ceramic composites were made by pressureless liquid phase sintering technology. The effects of sintering temperature, loss weight and coordination number on sintering densification were studied. The reason for producing loss weight on sintering was analysed. The results show that the primary reason for producing loss weight on sintering in SiC-Al_2O_3-Y_2O_3 ceramic composite was that chemical reactions between SiC and Al_2O_3 are happened during sintering, and given out volatile gases. If sintering temperature is excessively lower, grain size would be finer, and coordination number would be higher, well then material would be on no sintering densification. If sintering temperature is excessively higher, grains would grow up, though small coordination number would benefit to make pore eliminate and shrink, but coarse microstructure would also block gliding and resetting of grains, together affected by expansion stress from volatile gas, the material densification would instead go down. Only under the sintering process of 1850 ℃ for 30 min, material densification is better, and the mechanical property of ceramic composites is also improved.展开更多
