Preparation of Scratch-Resistant Nano-Porous Silica Films Derived by Sol-Gel Process and Their Anti-reflective Properties

Structural strengthening of the nano porous silica films has been reported. The films were prepared with a base/acid two-step catalyzed TEOS-based sol-gel processing and dip-coating, and then baked in the mixed gas of ammonia and water vapor. The silica films were characterized with TEM, AFM, FTIR, spectrophotometer, ellipsometer, and abrasion test, respectively. The experimental results have shown that the films have a nanostructure with a low refractive index and can form an excellent scratch-resistant broadband anti-reflectance. The two-step catalysis noticeably strengthens the films, and the mixed gas treatment further improves mechanical strength of the silica network. Finally the strengthening mechanism has been discussed.

Vibrational, Electronic and Structural Study of Sprayed ZnO Thin Film Based on the IR-Raman Spectra and DFT Calculations

Applying the Density Function Theory (DFT) combined with LCAO basis set and employing the B3LYP hybrid functional, the optimized geometrical parameters, electronic properties, as well as the Infrared and Raman spectra for wurtzite-ZnO structure were investigated. Prior to computing, ZnO thin film prepared by the spray pyrolysis method is characterized by X-ray diffraction using Rietveld refinement. This analysis shows that ZnO has hexagonal wurtzite structure (P63mc) with lattice parameters, a = 3.2467 and c = 5.2151 Åin good agreement with our predicted optimized geometry. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), Raman spectroscopy and UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometry techniques are used to explore morphological, optical and vibrational properties of the sprayed ZnO thin film. The computed band gap is in excellent agreement with that deduced from UV-Vis transmission . The simulated infrared and Raman spectra were also calculated, and a good agreement with the measured spectra is obtained. Finally, a detailed interpretation of the infrared and Raman spectra is reported.

THE STRUCTURE OF LANGMUIR-BLODGETT FILMS OF TETRA-NONYL PHTHALOCYANINE COPPER

Langmuir-Blodgett(LB)films of tetra-nonyl phthalocyanine copper (TNPcCu)were prepared.Molecular arrangement and orientation of these films were studied in detail.LB multilayer films of TNPcCu show a very Strong x-ray diffration peak and two weak peaks which indicate that the LB films form a quasi-crystal structure which molecules are arranged orderly.IR reflection absorption spectra and polarized VIS absorption spectra not only confirm the previous result but also indicate that phthalocyanine rings orient nearly perpendicular to the substrate surface and perpendicular to the lifting direction and the side-chain segments are not preferred oriented.

Shadowgraphic Imaging of Fibre-Delivered Pulsed IR Laser-Induced Heat Transfer across Thin Aluminized Polymer Film

Shadowgraphic imaging was employed to investigate the mid-IR laser induced heat transfer through a double layer thin film. The effect of thin metal coat on the polymer film enhanced the transfer of heat and shock waves due to rapid thermal expansion and the explosive evaporation of the thin fluid layer. Sixty two percent of deposited heat expended for water enthalpy and 38% for other factors. A power of 8.8 kW was launched at the surface of aluminium. The thermal coupling of 45% further reduced the input energy to the film and the non-adiabatic heat diffusion (i.e., ) was transmitted instantaneously within the metal with very small loss. The temperature at the surface of the film was determined ≈301 K, well below the aluminium melting point. The Biot number showed that the metal as single layer and the whole film as double layer satisfies the thermally thin film (i.e., ). Considering the Newtons’s law of cooling, the overall film heat transfer coefficient was found 3 k W·m-2·K-1 equivalent of 3.3 × 10-3 W·m2·K-1 thermal resistance. The analysis of images indicated a reducing percentage of heat transfer as a function of delay time based on the comparison of volume ratios. A calculated power of ≈3 kW was transmitted from the rear side of the film sufficient to thermalize the surrounding water layer and form vapor bubble.

Absorption enhancement in thin film a-Si solar cells with double-sided SiO_2 particle layers

Light absorption enhancement is very important for improving the power conversion efficiency of a thin film a-Si solar cell. In this paper, a thin-film a-Si solar cell model with double-sided SiO2 particle layers is designed, and then the underlying mechanism of absorption enhancement is investigated by finite difference time domain（FDTD） simulation;finally the feasible experimental scheme for preparing the SiO2 particle layer is discussed. It is found that the top and bottom SiO2 particle layers play an important role in anti-reflection and light trapping, respectively. The light absorption of the cell with double-sided SiO2 layers greatly increases in a wavelength range of 300 nm-800 nm, and the ultimate efficiency increases more than 22% compared with that of the flat device. The cell model with double-sided SiO2 particle layers reported here can be used in varieties of thin film solar cells to further improve their performances.
