Trapped atoms on photonic structures inspire many novel quantum devices for quantum information processing and quantum sensing.Here,we demonstrate a hybrid photonic-atom chip platform based on a Ga N-onsapphire chip and the transport of an ensemble of atoms from free space towards the chip with an optical conveyor belts.Due to our platform’s complete optical accessibility and careful control of atomic motion near the chip with a conveyor belt,successful atomic transport towards the chip is made possible.The maximum transport efficiency of atoms is about 50%with a transport distance of 500μm.Our results open up a new route toward the efficient loading of cold atoms into the evanescent-field trap formed by the photonic integrated circuits,which promises strong and controllable interactions between single atoms and single photons.

Review of current progress in hole-transporting materials for perovskite solar cells

Recent advancements in perovskites’ application as a solar energy harvester have been astonishing. The power conversion efficiency(PCE) of perovskite solar cells(PSCs) is currently reaching parity(>25 percent), an accomplishment attained over past decades. PSCs are seen as perovskites sandwiched between an electron transporting material(ETM) and a hole transporting material(HTM). As a primary component of PSCs, HTM has been shown to have a considerable effect on solar energy harvesting, carrier extraction and transport, crystallization of perovskite, stability, and price. In PSCs, it is still necessary to use a HTM.While perovskites are capable of conducting holes, they are present in trace amounts, necessitating the use of an HTM layer for efficient charge extraction. In this review, we provide an understanding of the significant forms of HTM accessible(inorganic, polymeric and small molecule-based HTMs), to motivate further research and development of such materials. The identification of additional criteria suggests a significant challenge to high stability and affordability in PSC.

Improving the performance of arylamine-based hole transporting materials in perovskite solar cells： Extending π-conjugation length or increasing the number of side groups？

In this work, we prepared three simple arylamine-based hole transporting materials from commercially available starting materials. The effect of extending z-conjugation length or increasing the number of side groups compared with reference compound on the photophysical, electrochemical, hole mobility properties and performance in perovskite solar cells were further studied. It is noted that these two kinds of molecular modifications can significantly lower the HOMO level and improve the hole mobility, thus improving the hole injection from valence band of perovskite. On the other hand, the compound with more side groups showed higher hole injection efficiency due to lower HOMO level and higher hole mo- bility compared with the compound with extending π-conjugation length. The perovskite solar cells with the modified molecules as hole transporting materials showed a higher efficiency of 15.40% and 16.95%, respectively, which is better than that of the reference compound （13.18%）. Moreover, the compound with increasing number of side groups based devices showed comparable photovoltaic performance with that of conventional spiro-OMeTAD （16.87%）.

Diketopyrrolopyrrole based D-π-A-π-D type small organic molecules as hole transporting materials for perovskite solar cells

Three novel diketopyrrolopyrrole （DPP） based small organic molecules were synthesized as hole transporting materials for perovskite solar cells. The effects of different donors and zr bridges on the performance of perovskite solar cells （PSCs） were discussed. The efficiency of TPADPP-1, TPADPP-2. PTZDPP-2 was 5.10%, 9.85% and 8.16% respectively. Compared to TPADPP-2, the voltage of PTZDPP-2 was higher. Because the electron-donatingability of phenothiazine based donor was larger than that of triphenylamine based donor, the HOMO level of PTZDPP-2 was lower than that of TPADPP-2. The results indicated that the diketopyrrolopyrrole based D-π-A-π-D type small organic molecule might be a promising hole trans- porting material in the perovskite solar cells.

Improved performance of organic light-emitting diodes with dual electron transporting layers

In this study the performance of organic light-emitting diodes （OLEDs） are enhanced significantly, which is based on dual electron transporting layers （13phen/CuPc）. By adjusting the thicknesses of Bphen and CuPc, the maximal luminescence, the maximal current efficiency, and the maximal power efficiency of the device reach 17570 cd/m^2 at 11 V, and 5.39 cd/A and 3.39 lm/W at 3.37 mA/cm^2 respectively, which are enhanced approximately by 33.4%, 39.3%, and 68.9%, respectively, compared with those of the device using Bphen only for an electron transporting layer. These results may provide some valuable references for improving the electron injection and the transportation of OLED.

Progress in hole-transporting materials for perovskite solar cells

In recent years the photovoltaic community has witnessed the unprecedented development of perovskite solar cells（PSCs） as they have taken the lead in emergent photovoltaic technologies. The power conversion efficiency of this new class of solar cells has been increased to a point where they are beginning to compete with more established technologies. Although PSCs have evolved a variety of structures, the use of hole-transporting materials（HTMs） remains indispensable. Here, an overview of the various types of available HTMs is presented. This includes organic and inorganic HTMs and is presented alongside recent progress in associated aspects of PSCs, including device architectures and fabrication techniques to produce high-quality perovskite films. The structure, electrochemistry, and physical properties of a variety of HTMs are discussed, highlighting considerations for those designing new HTMs. Finally, an outlook is presented to provide more concrete direction for the development and optimization of HTMs for highefficiency PSCs.

A Quantitative Method for Evaluating the Transporting Capacity of Oil-Source Faults in Shallow Formation of Oil-Rich Sags

Objective Oil-source faults have an important effect on reservoir formation and distribution in shallow formations with non- hydrocarbon generation in oil-rich fault-related basins （Jiang Youlu et al., 2015）. However, the fault transporting capacity cannot be evaluated quantitatively at present. Taking the Zhanhua Sag in the Bohai Bay Basin as an example, this work analyzed the factors influencing the transporting capacity of the oil-source faults and proposed a quantitative method for evaluating their transporting capacity.

High isotropic dispiro structure hole transporting materials for planar perovskite solar cells

Two novel fluorene-based hole transporting materials (HTMs) were synthesized to be used in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). C102 was designed based on C101 by simply linking the two carb on-carbon single bonds to compose a "dispiro" structure. Their typically similar structures cause them sharing almost the same energy levels. However, their photovoltaic performances are quite different due to the small variations. The PSC that contained the "dispiro" structure, C102, reached a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 17.4%, while the device contained C101, obtained a lower PCE of 15.5%. Electrochemical properties and Photovoltaic characterization of the two materials have been investigated to explain the result. It is shown that C102 has a stronger ability to transport holes and resist the charge recombination. Thus, the dispiro structure should be more appropriate being used as HTM in PSCs.

Tetrabenzotriazacorrole and its derivatives as undopea hole transporting materials for perovskite solar cells:Synthesis,device fabrication,and device performance

Phosphorous tetrabenzotriazacorrole(TBC)and its two soluble derivatives(TBC-1 and TBC-2)were synthesized and used for the first time as undoped hole transporting materials(HTMs)in MAPbI3 perovskite solar cells(PSCs).Their performance in PSCs was measured and compared with that of SpiroOMeTAD and phthalocyanine precursor.The fundamental properties related to HTMs are also examined.These novel HTMs are easily prepared,cost-effective,and solution processable.The materials exhibited much higher hole transport mobility and broader light absorption than pristine Spiro-OMeTAD and phthalocyanine precursor.They can work efficiently in the absence of any dopant for devices composed of FTO/cp-TiO2/mp-TiO2/MAPbI3/HTM/Au.The undoped mesoscopic solar cell devices based on TBC exhibited a promising power conversion efficiency(PCE)of up to 16.2%(measured at 100 mWcm2 illumination,AM 1.5 G),together with good long-term stability under ambient conditions.This PCE of 16.2%observed using TBC is remarkably higher than the 11.2%observed using undoped Spiro-OMeTAD and also much better than the 8.70%observed using its phthalocyanine precursor.As to substitution effects,α-substituted TBC-1 was found to be a better HTM thanβ-substituted TBC-2(PCE 11.4%)and unsubstituted TBC-3(PCE 6.81%)under the same conditions.These results provide the basis for further exploiting TBC compounds as a new type of low-cost and effective HTM for PSCs.

Evaluation of Stress Corrosion Cracking Damage to an API 5L X52 Pipeline Transporting Ammonia: A Case Study

The high number of leak events that took place in recent years at a 25.4 cm (10”)Øpipeline transporting anhydrous liquid ammonia, located in the Southeast of Mexico, was the main reason to carry out a number of field studies and laboratory tests that helped establish not only the failure causes but also mitigation and control solutions. The performed activities included direct evaluation at failure sites, total repair programs, metallographic studies and pipeline flexibility analyses. The obtained results were useful to conclude that the failures obeyed a cracking mechanism by Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) which was caused by the combined effect of different factors: high stress resistance, high hardness of the base metal with a microstructure prone to brittleness and residual strains originated during the pipeline construction. From the operative, logistic and financial standpoints, it is not feasible to release the stress of approximately 22 km of pipeline. Therefore, the only viable solution is to install a new pipeline with suitable fabrication, construction and installation specifications aimed at preventing the SCC phenomenon.

Internal resonance of an axially transporting beam with a two-frequency parametric excitation

This paper investigates the transverse 3:1 internal resonance of an axially transporting nonlinear viscoelastic Euler-Bernoulli beam with a two-frequency parametric excitation caused by a speed perturbation.The Kelvin-Voigt model is introduced to describe the viscoelastic characteristics of the axially transporting beam.The governing equation and the associated boundary conditions are obtained by Newton’s second law.The method of multiple scales is utilized to obtain the steady-state responses.The RouthHurwitz criterion is used to determine the stabilities and bifurcations of the steady-state responses.The effects of the material viscoelastic coefficient on the dynamics of the transporting beam are studied in detail by a series of numerical demonstrations.Interesting phenomena of the steady-state responses are revealed in the 3:1 internal resonance and two-frequency parametric excitation.The approximate analytical method is validated via a differential quadrature method.

Heteroatom engineering on spiro-type hole transporting materials for perovskite solar cells

A series of spiro-type hole transporting materials, spiro-OMe TAD, spiro-SMe TAD and spiro-OSMe TAD,with methoxy, methylsulfanyl or half methoxy and half methylsulfanyl terminal groups are designed and prepared. The impact of varied terminal groups on bulk properties, such as photophysical, electrochemical, thermal, hole extraction, and photovoltaic performance in perovskite solar cells is investigated.It is noted that the terminal groups of the hole transporting material with half methoxy and half methylsulfanyl exhibit a better device performance and decreased hysteresis compared with all methoxy or methylsulfanyl counterparts due to better film-forming ability and improved hole extraction capability.Promisingly, the spiro-OSMe TAD also shows comparable performance than high-purity commercial spiro-OMe TAD. Moreover, the highest power conversion efficiency of the optimized device employing spiro-OSMe TAD exceeding 20% has been achieved.

Crucial role of charge transporting layers on ion migration in perovskite solar cells

The device preconditioning dependent hysteresis and the consequential performance degradation hinder the actual performance and stability of the perovskite solar cells. Ion migration and charge trapping in the perovskite with large contribution from grain boundaries are the most common interpretations for the hysteresis. Yet, the high performing devices often include intermediate hole and electron transporting layers, which can further complicate the dynamical process in the device. Here, by using Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy and Confocal Photoluminescence Microscopy, we elucidate the impact of chargetransporting layers and excess MAI on the spatial and temporal variations of the photovoltage on the MAPbI3-based solar cells. By studying the devices layer by layer, we found that the light-induced ion migration occurs predominantly in the presence of an imbalanced charge extraction in the solar cells, and the charge transporting layers play crucial role in suppressing it. Careful selection and processing of the electron and hole-transporting materials are thus essential for making perovskite solar cells free from the ion migration effect.

Highly stable perovskite solar cells with a novel Ni-based metal organic complex as dopant-free hole-transporting material

Hole-transporting material(HTM)plays a paramount role in enhancing the photovltaic performance of perovskite solar cells(PSCs).Currently,the vast majority of these HTMs employed in PSCs are organic small molecules and polymers,yet the use of organic metal complexes in PSCs applications remains less explored.To date,most of reported HTMs require additional chemical additives(e.g.Li-TFSI,t-TBP)towards high performance,however,the introduction of additives decrease the PSCs device stability.Herein,an organic metal complex(Ni-TPA)is first developed as a dopant-free HTM applied in PSCs for its facile synthesis and efficient hole extract/transfer ability.Consequently,the dopant-free Ni-TPAbased device achieves a champion efficiency of 17.89%,which is superior to that of pristine Spiro-OMeTAD(14.25%).Furthermore,we introduce a double HTM layer with a graded energy bandgap containing a Ni-TPA layer and a CuSCN layer into PSCs,the non-encapsulated PSCs based on the Ni-TPA/CuSCN layers affords impressive efficiency up to 20.39%and maintains 96%of the initial PCE after 1000 h at a relative humidity around 40%.The results have demonstrated that metal organic complexes represent a great promise for designing new dopant-free HTMs towards highly stable PSCs.

C≡N-based carbazole-arylamine hole transporting materials for perovskite solar cells: Substitution position matters

Hole transporting materials(HTMs)containing passivating groups for perovskite materials have attracted much attention for efficient and stable perovskite solar cells(PSCs).Among them,C≡N-based molecules have been proved as efficient HTMs.Herein,a series of novel C≡N functionalized carbazole-arylamine derivatives with variable C≡N substitution positions(para,meta,and ortho)on benzene-carbazole skeleton(on the adjacent benzene of carbazole)were synthesized(p-HTM,m-HTM and o-HTM).The experimental results exhibit that the substitution positions of the Ctriple bondN unit on HTMs have minor difference on the HOMO energy level and hydrophobicity.m-HTM has a relatively lower glass transition temperature compared with that of p-HTM and o-HTM.The functional theory calculations show that the C≡N located on meta position exposed very well,and the exposure direction is also the same with the methoxy.Upon applying these molecules as HTMs in PSCs,their device performance is found to sensitively depend on the substitution position of the C≡N unit on the molecule skeleton.The devices using m-HTM and o-HTM exhibit better performance than that of p-HTM.Moreover,m-HTM-based devices exhibit better light-soaking performance and long-term stability,which could be resulted from better interaction with the perovskite according to DFT results.Moreover,we further prepared a HTM with two C≡N units on the symmetrical meta position of molecular skeleton(2m-HTM).Interestingly,2m-HTM-based devices exhibit relatively inferior performance compared with that of the m-HTM,which could be resulted from weak negative electrical character of C≡N unit on 2m-HTM.The results give some new insights for designing ideal HTM for efficient and stable PSCs.

Research on adaptive anti-rollover control of kiloton bridge transporting and laying vehicles

The SPMT construction method is a new rapid construction technology of large urban overpass with unblocked traffic,and unstability of SPMT construction method equipment cannot be accurately described due to the concrete beam size,irregular shape and complex transport conditions,which is called kiloton bridge transporting and laying vehicle.The anti-rollover performance of SPMT suspension system is studied,and vehicle side slip angle and load transfer rate(LTR) are regarded as the evaluation indexes.An active suspension adaptive anti-rollover control model of SPMT,in which roll stability affected by the structural parameters and control parameters,is built based on fuzzy PID,and the effectiveness of the control method is verified through real vehicle test.

Titanylphthalocyanine as hole transporting material for perovskite solar cells

Titanylphthalocyanine （TiOPc） as hole transporting material （HTM） was successfully synthesized by a simple process with low cost. Perovskite solar cells using the TiOPc as HTM were fabricated and characterized. TiOPc as HTM plays an important role in increasing the power conversion efficiency （PCE） by minimizing recombi- nation losses at the perovskite/Au interface because TiOPc as HTM can extract photogenerated holes from the perovskite and then transport quickly these charges to the back metal electrode. In the research, the β-TiOPc gives a higher PCE than α-TiOPc for the devices due to sufficient transfer dynamics, The β-TiOPc was applied in perovskite solar cells without clopping to afford an impressive PCE of 5.05% under AM 1.5G illumination at the thickness of 40 nm which is competitive with spiro-OMeTAD at the same condition. The present work suggests a guideline for optimizing the photovoltaic properties ofperovskite solar cells using the TiOPc as the HTM.

Conclusions: Oatp2b1 might be one of the material bases participating in transportation and transformation of phlegmy dampness. The mechanism of Cangfudaotan Tang treating phlegm dampness type of PCOS may be achieved by regulating the expression of oatp2b1.
