Sharp and intense 1.54 μm photoluminescence caused by intra-4f-shefl transitions in Er3+ ions was observed up to room temperature. It is shown that the immersing process is valid to dope Er in high concentration in porous Si. Time resolved study of the Er-doped porous Si revealed that the doped Er3+ ions are excited by energy transfer from photo-generated electron-hole pairs in the host. The energy back transfer process from the excited 4f electrons in the Er3+ion to the host is not a dominant factor to quench the Er-related emission in porous Si. Ourresults are well explained by a proposed model in which an intermediate state was introduced.展开更多

Two emission bands, weak blue band and strong red band existed in the PL spectrum of diamond film coated on PS, were discovered by the photoluminescence measurements. The luminescent mechanism and stability were discussed. The results indicated that diamond film may stabilize the PL wavelength and intensity of PS, and therefore could become a promising passivation film of porous Si. The PL properties of PS coated by DLC films, including hydrogenated diamond like carbon (DLC:H) film and nitrogen doped DLC film (DLC:N) were also studied in this paper. The DLC films may stabilize the PL of PS, but the photoluminescent intensity was obviously weaker than that of diamond film coated PS.展开更多

The effects of the brazing temperature and the thickness of Cu interlayer on the microstructure and mechanical properties of brazed joints were investigated. The typical microstructure of the joint brazed with multi-layered filler was porous Si3N4/TiN + Ti5Si3/Ag-Cu eutectic[Cu[Ag-Cu eutectic/Cu-rich layer + diffusion layer/Invar. When the brazing temperature increased, the reaction layer at the ceramic/filler interface grew thicker and the Cu interlayer turned thinner. As the thickness of Cu interlayer increased from 50 to 150 μm, the joint strength first increased and then decreased. In this research, the maximum shear strength (73 MPa) was obtained when being brazed at 1173 K with a 100 μm Cu interlayer applied in the filler, which was 55% higher than that brazed with single Ag-Cu-Ti brazing alloy and had reached 86% of the ceramic. The release of residual stress and the barrier effect of Cu interlayer to inhibit the formation of Fe2Ti and Ni3Ti intermetallics played the major role in the improvement of joint strength.展开更多

After sintering at 1800℃, the SiO2 in porous Si3N4 ceramic transforms into Si2N2O because of the reaction of SiO2 and Si3N4 . Due to the reaction of SiO2 and carbon, the porosity of porous Si3N4 ceramic increases obviously from 40.2% to 76.8% with the weight decreasing by 35.6%. As the porosity increases, the dielectric constant and loss of the porous Si3N4 ceramic decrease obviously from 3.08 to 1.61 and from 3.70×10(-3) to 0.74×10(-3) , but due to the production of Si2N2O whose mechanical properties are much higher than SiO2 and the increase of the bonding strength among Si3N4 particles, the flexural strength and the fracture toughness of the porous Si3N4 ceramic decrease from 55 to 39 MPa and from 0.7 to 0.5 MPa·m(1/2) , respectively, but its Vickers hardness increases from 1.2 to 1.3 GPa.展开更多

White light emission is observed in photoluminescence (PL) spectra, and the white light is the combination of blue and green emission from ZnS and red emission from PS. The white PL spectra are broad, intense in a visible band ranging from 450 to 700 nrn. The effects of the excitation wavelength, growth temperature of ZnS films, PS porosity and annealing temperature on the PL spectra of ZnS/PS were also investigated.展开更多
