CdS QDs are adsorbed onto RGO+TiO2 nanocomposite films by the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) technique for several cycles. The current density-voltage (J-V) characteristic curves of the assembled QDSSCs are measured at AM1.5 simulated sunlight. The optimal photovoltaic performance for CdS QDSSC was achieved for six SILAR cycles. Solar cells based on the RGO+TiO2 nanocomposite photoanode achieve a 33% increase in conversion efficiency (η) compared with those based on plain TiO2 nanoparticle (NP) photoanodes. The electron back recombination rates decrease significantly for CdS QDSSCs based on RGO+TiO2 nanocomposite photoanodes. The lifetime constant (τ) for CdS QDSSC based on the RGO+TiO2 nanocomposite photoanode is at least one order of magnitude larger than that based on the bare TiO2NPs photoanode.展开更多

Total photo-ionisation cross sections and radiative recombination rate coefficients are determined from the calculation of elementary vibrational photo-ionisation cross sections. Transitions be- tween CO+(X, A and B) and CO(X) are considered. Total photo-ionisation cross sections and recombination coefficients are computed in the temperature interval 500-15000 K.展开更多

A theoretical model to calculate the distribution of current densities and the recombination rate in organic single layer devices is presented taking into account the charge injection process at each electrode, charge transport and recombination in organic layer. The calculated results indicate that efficient single-layer devices are possible by adjusting the barrier heights at two electrodes and the carrier mobilities. Lowering the barrier heights can improve the electroluminescent(EL) efficiency pronouncedly in many cases, and efficient devices are still possible using an ohmic contact to inject the low mobility carrier, and a contact limited contact to inject the high mobility carrier. All in all, high EL efficiency needs to consider sufficient recombination, enough injected carriers and well transport.展开更多

The contributions to the total DR rate coefficients are explicitly calculated from the complexes of Ni-like tantalum:3s^23p^63d3/2^33d5/2^6n′l′,3s^23p^53d^10n′l′,3s3p^63d^10n′l′,3s^23p^63d^84ln′l′,3s^23p^53d^94ln′l′ and 3s3p^63d^94ln′l′ with n′≤25, and 3s^23p^63d^85ln′l′ with n′≤9.The l′and n′ dependences of partial DR rate coefficients are investigated. The contributions from higher n^complexes are evaluated by a level-by-level extrapolation method. The total DR rate coefficients mainly come from the complex series 3s^23p^63d^84ln′l′,3s^23p^53d^94ln′l′and are fitted to an empirical formula with high accuracy. Comparison of the present results with those of other works shows that the previously published data underestimate significantly the DR rates of Co-like tantalum.展开更多

Theoret...Accurate data for dielectronic recombination of tungsten ions are essential in the modeling of tungsten impurity transport and radiative power loss in International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). Theoretical calculations have been made for dielectronic recombi- nation (DR) rate coefficients of Br-like tungsten ions using a flexible relativistic atomic code (FAC) from i eV to 50 keV. Level-by-level calculations are carried out for evaluating the contributions to DR through all the relevant Kr-like tungsten ions autoionizing inner-shell excited configuration complexes: (3s23p63d10)-14s24p5nlntl' (n = 4-5, n' = 4-100,l' = 0-8), (4s24pS)-lnln'l' (n = 4-6, n' = 4-100, l' = 0-12). Comparison of the rate coefficients for 3s, 3p, 3d, 4s and 4p subshell excitations shows that the 4p subshell excitation dominates over the whole temperature region, 4s subshell excitation at low temperature and 3p, 3d subshell excitations at high temperature can not be neglected. In order to facilitate simple applications, the total DR rate coefficient, △n = 0,1 and 2 core excitations DR rate coefficients are fitted to an empirical formula.展开更多

Methods The pharmacokinetics of rhG-CSFa and conventional (wild type,WT) granulocyte colonystimulating factor (G-CSF) were investigated in Sprague-Dawley rats which received either intravenous or subcutaneous injection of rhG-CSFa or WT G-CSF at three different doses (20,50,or 100 μg/kg). The blood samples of rats were collected at multiple time points (from 0.08 to 12 h) and the concentrations of rhG-CSFa and WT G-CSF in serum were determined with a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). For the study of proteolytic rates in vitro,the concentrations of rhG-CSFa or WT G-CSF were determined at 3-minute intervals after addition of the respective drug to rat’s whole blood or serum. Results Pharmacokinetic analysis of serum rhG-CSFa or WT G-CSF levels indicated that,at each dose tested,for either route of drug administration,the area under concentration-time curve values and the maximum serum concentration of rhG-CSFa were higher than those of WT G-CSF,and the serum half life of rhG-CSFa was longer than that of WT G-CSF. Subsequent in vitro whole blood and serum stability study showed that the rates of drug degradation in WT G-CSF were 1.8 folds and 1.5 folds higher than those in rhG-CSFa,respectively. Conclusion rhG-CSFa has better serum and whole blood stability in vitro and higher bioavailability in vivo as compared to WT G-CSF.展开更多

The configuration-interaction effects are taken into account. The decays to autoionizing levels possibly followed by autoionization cascades are also included in the calculation. The contributions from doubly-excited intermediate states of Cu-like 31^17n′l′n′l″ (n′ = 4, 5; n″ = 5 - 15) are calculated explicitly, and the contributions from high Rydberg states (n″〉 15) are taken into account by using n-3 scaling law. The present results should be more accurate than the existent calculations.展开更多
