The optical properties of the as-grown and the annealed samples are studied by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. It is found that the air-exposure annealing effectively removes the hydrogen impurities from the ZnO films but greatly increases the deep-level emission. In the surface-covered annealed sample, an elimination of the hydrogen impurities is also observed, and the deep-level emission disappears completely. The free exciton emission is significantly enhanced in the ZnO film after surface-covered annealing.展开更多

The effects of scanning speed, hatching space, and laser power on surface quality were analyzed, and the optimal LED range for surface quality was determined. The results show that pores and spherical particles appear on the sample’s surface when low LED is applied, while there are lamellar structures on the sides of the samples. Cracks appear on the sample’s surface,and the splash phenomenon increases when a high LED is taken. At the same time, a large amount of unmelted powder adhered to the side of the sample. The surface quality is the best when the LED is 150-170 J/mm^(3). The preferred hatch space is currently 0.05-0.09 mm, the laser power is 200-350 W, and the average surface roughness value is(15.1±3) μm.The average surface hardness reaches HV404±HV3, higher than the forging standard range of HV340-HV395.Increasing the LED within the experiment range can increase the surface hardness, yet an excessively high LED will not further increase the surface hardness. The microstructure is composed of needle-like α’-phases with a length of about 20μm, in a crisscross ‘N’ shape, when the LED is low. The β-phase grain boundary is not obvious, and the secondaryphase volume fraction is high;when the LED is high, the α’-phase of the microstructure is in the form of coarse slats, and the secondary-phase is composed of a small amount of secondary α’-phase, the tertiary α’-phase and the fourth α’-phase disappear, and the volume fraction of the secondary-phase becomes low.展开更多

It is found that the spectrum varies with the change of experimental setup parameters both in Al bulk material and AlCl3 solutions. The temporal evolution properties and the affection of incident laser energy on the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) signals were also discussed. The lifetime of laser induced plasma in AlCl3 solutions is found to be about 30 ns which is much shorter than in solid materials. Compared with the solid samples, the Al LIBS signals in AlCl3 solutions require higher laser energy. Under the optimized conditions, the detection limit of Al in AlCl3 solution was determined to be around 1000 ppm for the system we used.展开更多

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) result shows that the width of the bonded interface was about 0.5 lain. The laser micro-Raman was used to study the bonded interface of the composite crystal. The results of Raman spectra and the bonded interface image indicate that the undoped YAG and Nd:YAG crystals have been well bonded together. Furthermore, it can be drawn that the structure and the composition of the bonded interface are the same as the undoped YAG crystal, and that the Nd^3+ ions do not enter the bonded interface and the YAG side. This property is advantageous to decrease the thermal effect of the boned interface and to improve the laser stability.展开更多

The quenching mechanism was discussed. It indicates that the powerful interaction exists between ε-G and BSA.展开更多

In order to model a moving bubble, the bubble was fixed into the counter flow liquid by a metal mesh. Experimental materials are air and water, and the particles are complex oxidate powder. Experiments were carried out under the operating conditions: the liquid flow velocity u 0 is 12.6 cm/s, the equivalent diameter d e is 0.6 cm, the mass concentration of particle is 0.2 0 0 ,the average particle diameter is about 10 nm and the density is 2 g/cm 3. The velocity profiles of both frontal and tail vortex areas were measured respectively. The experimental results show that the velocity fields are obviously changed in the existence of particles. In the frontal area of the bubble, both tangential and normal velocities decrease due to the presence of particles, but in tail vortex area, the tangential velocities increase remarkably, and normal velocities rise gradually from the center towards the fringe in the opposite tendency to that of no particles. The influences of flow field change in the presence of particles on gas liquid mass transfer are analyzed and discussed.展开更多

Efforts have been paid to find ways to reduce the phosphors' concentration and efficiency roll-off of PHOLEDs. In this work, we reported red emission PHOLEDs with low dopant concentration and low efficiency roll-off based on a novel host material 2,4-biscyanophenyl-6-(12-phenylindole[2,3-a]carbazole-ll-yl)-1,3,5-triazine (BCPICT), with thermally activated delayed fluorescent (TADF) properties. The device with 1.0% dopant concentration displayed a maximum external quantum efficiency of 10.7%. When the dopant concentration was increased to 2.0%, the device displayed a maximum external quantum efficiency of 10.5% and a low efficiency roll-off of 5.7% at 1000 cd/m^2.展开更多

We find that the surface of relatively thick (more than tens of nanometers) Bi2Te3 NPs is oxidized in the air and forms a bump under heating with moderate laser power, as revealed by the emergence of Raman lines characteristic of Bi2O3 and TeO2 and characterization by AFM and EDS. Further increase of laser power burns holes on the surface of the NPs. Thin (thicknesses less than 20 nm) NPs with stoichiometry different from Bi2Te3 were also studied. Raman lines from non-stoichiometric NPs are different from those of stoichiometric ones and display characteristic changes with the increase of Bi concentration. Thin NPs with the same thickness but different stoichiometries show different color contrast compared to the substrate in the optical image. This indicates that the optical absorption coefficient in thin Bi-Te NPs strongly depends on their stoichiometry.展开更多

The ground-state exciton binding energy, the interband emission wavelength, and the radiative lifetime as functions of the QD structural parameters (height and radius) are calculated in detail The computations are performed in the case of finite band offset. Numerical results elucidate that Mg composition has of ZnO/MgxZn1-x 0 QDs. The ground-state exciton a significant influence on the exciton states and optical properties binding energy increases with increasing Mg composition and the increment tendency is more prominent for small height QDs. As Mg composition increases, the interband emission wavelength has a blue-shift if the dot height L 〈 3.5 nm, but the interband emission wavelength has a red-shift when L 〉 3.5 nm. Furthermore, the radiative lifetime increases rapidly with increasing Mg composition if the dot height L 〉 3 nm and the increment tendency is more prominent for large height QDs. The physical reason has been analyzed in depth.展开更多

The objective of this study is to investigate the selected LIE parameters to control size and shape of nanostructures,which are considered important factors in semiconductor device applications. Photoluminescence output intensity becomes stronger due to the increase in the number of emitted photons on the porous surface. There is a dramatic increase in photoluminescence intensity due to the increase of porosity as a function of laser power density. The increase in electrolyte concentration is an important parameter to accelerate the dissolution reaction on the interface layer between the electrolyte solution and wafer surface. PS spectra displayed a stronger Raman intensity than crystalline bulk Si;also the PS spectrum was shifted and broadened as a function of LIE parameters.展开更多

We find that the surface of relatively thick (more than tens of nanometers) Bi2Te3 NPs is oxidized in the air and forms a bump under heating with moderate laser power, as revealed by the emergence of Raman lines characteristic of Bi2O3 and TeO2 and characterization by AFM and EDS. Further increase of laser power burns holes on the surface of the NPs. Thin (thicknesses less than 20 nm) NPs with stoichiometry different from Bi2Te3 were also studied. Raman lines from non-stoichiometric NPs are different from those of stoichiometric ones and display characteristic changes with the increase of Bi concentration. Thin NPs with the same thickness but different stoichiometries show different color contrast compared to the substrate in the optical image. This indicates that the optical absorption coefficient in thin Bi-Te NPs strongly depends on their stoichiometry.

文摘Based on the effective-mass approximation and variational approach, excitonic optical properties are investigated theoretically in strained wurtzite (WZ) ZnO/MgxZn1-xO cylindrical quantum dots (QDs) for four different Mg compositions: x = 0.08, 0.14, 0.25, and 0.33, with considering a three-dimensional carrier confinement in QDs and a strong built-in electric field effect due to the piezoelectricity and spontaneous polarization. The ground-state exciton binding energy, the interband emission wavelength, and the radiative lifetime as functions of the QD structural parameters (height and radius) are calculated in detail The computations are performed in the case of finite band offset. Numerical results elucidate that Mg composition has of ZnO/MgxZn1-x 0 QDs. The ground-state exciton a significant influence on the exciton states and optical properties binding energy increases with increasing Mg composition and the increment tendency is more prominent for small height QDs. As Mg composition increases, the interband emission wavelength has a blue-shift if the dot height L 〈 3.5 nm, but the interband emission wavelength has a red-shift when L 〉 3.5 nm. Furthermore, the radiative lifetime increases rapidly with increasing Mg composition if the dot height L 〉 3 nm and the increment tendency is more prominent for large height QDs. The physical reason has been analyzed in depth.

文摘In this study,linear absorption,single-photon excited fluorescence,fluorescence quantum yields,fluorescence lifetime and two-photon excited fluorescence of a series of triphenylamine derivatives (L1,L2,L3 and L4) have been measured.L1 and L3 are D--A type dyes,while L2 and L4 are D--D--A type dyes (D=donor,A=acceptor).The investigated compounds consist of triphenylamine-bearing donor-substituted and/or systematically extended-conjugated length,which are designed to gain insight into the effect of the ethoxyl unit and-linkage length on the linear and nonlinear optical properties.The influence of solvent polarity on the photophysical properties was investigated.Employing time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations,the structure-property relationships are discussed.
文摘Porous silicon (PS) was fabricated by laser-induced etching (LIE) process. The objective of this study is to investigate the selected LIE parameters to control size and shape of nanostructures,which are considered important factors in semiconductor device applications. Photoluminescence output intensity becomes stronger due to the increase in the number of emitted photons on the porous surface. There is a dramatic increase in photoluminescence intensity due to the increase of porosity as a function of laser power density. The increase in electrolyte concentration is an important parameter to accelerate the dissolution reaction on the interface layer between the electrolyte solution and wafer surface. PS spectra displayed a stronger Raman intensity than crystalline bulk Si;also the PS spectrum was shifted and broadened as a function of LIE parameters.
