Large-area fabrication:The next target of perovskite light-emitting diodes

Perovskite materials show exciting potential for light-emitting diodes(LEDs)owing to their intrinsically high photoluminescence efficiency and color purity.The research focusing on perovskite light-emitting diodes(PeLEDs)has experienced an exponential growth in the past six years.The maximum external quantum efficiency of red,green,and blue PeLEDs has surpassed 20%,20%,and 10%,respectively.Nevertheless,the current PeLEDs are still in the laboratory stage,and the key for further development of PeLEDs is large-area fabrication.In this paper,we briefly discuss the similarities and differences between manufacturing high-quality and large-area PeLEDs and perovskite solar cells.Especially,the general technologies for fabricating large-area perovskite films are also introduced.The effect of charge transport layers and electrodes on large-area devices are discussed as well.Most importantly,we summarize the advances of large-area(active area≥30 mm^(2))PeLEDs reported since 2017,and describe the methods for optimizing large-area PeLEDs reported in the literature.Finally,the development perspective of PeLEDs is presented for the goal of highly efficient and large-area PeLED fabrication.It is of great significance for the application of PeLEDs in future display and lighting.

A vertical coupling dynamic analysis method and engineering application of vehicle–track–substructure based on forced vibration

Purpose–This study aims to propose a vertical coupling dynamic analysis method of vehicle–track–substructure based on forced vibration and use this method to analyze the influence on the dynamic response of track and vehicle caused by local fastener failure.Design/methodology/approach–The track and substructure are decomposed into the rail subsystem and substructure subsystem,in which the rail subsystem is composed of two layers of nodes corresponding to the upper rail and the lower fastener.The rail is treated as a continuous beam with elastic discrete point supports,and spring-damping elements are used to simulate the constraints between rail and fastener.Forced displacement and forced velocity are used to deal with the effect of the substructure on the rail system,while the external load is used to deal with the reverse effect.The fastener failure is simulated with the methods that cancel the forced vibration transmission,namely take no account of the substructure–rail interaction at that position.Findings–The dynamic characteristics of the infrastructure with local diseases can be accurately calculated by using the proposed method.Local fastener failure will slightly affect the vibration of substructure and carbody,but it will significantly intensify the vibration response between wheel and rail.The maximum vertical displacement and the maximum vertical vibration acceleration of rail is 2.94 times and 2.97 times the normal value,respectively,under the train speed of 350 km$h
1.At the same time,the maximum wheel–rail force and wheel load reduction rate increase by 22.0 and 50.2%,respectively,from the normal value.Originality/value–This method can better reveal the local vibration conditions of the rail and easily simulate the influence of various defects on the dynamic response of the coupling system.

A New Method for Fitting Current–Voltage Curves of Planar Heterojunction Perovskite Solar Cells

Herein we propose a new equivalent circuit including double heterojunctions in series to simulate the current–voltage characteristic of P–I–N planar structure perovskite solar cells. This new method can theoretically solve the dilemma of the parameter diode ideal factor being larger than2 from an ideal single heterojunction equivalent circuit,which usually is in the range from 1 to 2. The diode ideal factor reflects PN junction quality, which influences the recombination at electron transport layer/perovskite and perovskite/hole transport layer interface. Based on the double PN junction equivalent circuit, we can also simulate the dark current–voltage curve for analyzing recombination current(Shockley–Read–Hall recombination) and diffusion current(including direct recombination), and thus carrier recombination and transportation characteristics. This new model offers an efficacious and simple method to investigate interfaces condition, film quality of perovskite absorbing layer and performance of transport layer, helping us furtherimprove the device efficiency and analyze the working mechanism.

Quantum Fisher information width in quantum metrology

In scenarios of quantum metrology, the unitary parametrization process often depends on space directions. How to characterize the sensitivity of parameter estimation to space directions is a natural question. We propose the concept of the quantum Fisher information(QFI) width, which is the difference between the maximum and minimum values of the QFI, to quantitatively study the sensitivity. We find that Fock states, the bosonic coherent states, and the displaced Fock states all have zero widths, indicating that QFI is completely inert over all directions, while the width for the spin state with all spins down or up is equal to the number of particles, so this concept will enable us to choose appropriate directions to make unitary transformation to obtain larger QFI.The QFI width of the displaced quantum states is found to be independent of the magnitude of the displacement for both spin and bosonic systems. We also find some relations between the QFI width and squeezing parameters.
