The design strategy and efficiency optimization of a Ge-based n-type metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor(n-MOSFET)with a Si_(0.14)Ge_(0.72)Sn_(0.14)-Ge_(0.82)Sn_(0.18)-Ge quantum structure used for 2.45 ...The design strategy and efficiency optimization of a Ge-based n-type metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor(n-MOSFET)with a Si_(0.14)Ge_(0.72)Sn_(0.14)-Ge_(0.82)Sn_(0.18)-Ge quantum structure used for 2.45 GHz weak energy microwave wireless energy transmission is reported.The quantum structure combined withδ-doping technology is used to reduce the scattering of the device and improve its electron mobility;at the same time,the generation of surface channels is suppressed by the Si_(0.14)Ge_(0.72)Sn_(0.14) cap layer.By adjusting the threshold voltage of the device to 91 mV,setting the device aspect ratio to 1μm/0.4μm and adopting a novel diode connection method,the rectification efficiency of the device is improved.With simulation by Silvaco TCAD software,good performance is displayed in the transfer and output characteristics.For a simple half-wave rectifier circuit with a load of 1 pf and 20 kΩ,the rectification efficiency of the device can reach 7.14%at an input power of-10 dBm,which is 4.2 times that of a Si MOSFET(with a threshold voltage of 80 mV)under the same conditions;this device shows a better rectification effect than a Si MOSFET in the range of-30 dBm to 6.9 dBm.展开更多

The disturbing effect of MW electro- magnetic field on decomposition of CaSO4 into CaS activated by europium is distinctly observed to give pure host phase without adding any elemental sulphur and carbon. The host phase evolution is observed to be highly dependent on the variation of applied MW power from X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and the corresponding photoluminescence (PL), and a maximum PL intensity at 1100 W of MW power is acquired for the obtained purer host phase. The non-thermal and non-equilibrium effects by MW are revealed to correlate with the interaction between polar structure of the host and applied electromagnetic field. The results demonstrate an optional procedure to prepare this red-emitting phosphor in an effective, environment-friendly and scalable approach for phosphor production in the application of bio-illumination for plant cultivation and artificial photosynthesis.展开更多

The compositions and morphologies of the alloys were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and the microwave absorbing properties were studied by a vector network analyzer. The results showed that the alloy of Y2Co17 had better absorbing properties at low frequencies and its lowest reflectivity value was –9.5 d B at 3.8 GHz. The lowest reflectivity value of Ho2Co17 alloy was –13.7 d B at 7.02 GHz and it obtained large absorbing bandwidth. Reflectivity value less than –5 d B was from 5.1 to 10.2 GHz. When x=6 and x=8, the alloys of Ho x Co100–x consisted of Ho2Co17 phase and Co phase. They had good radar absorbing properties. With increase in Ho content, the minimum reflectivity value worsened and the absorbing peak frequency shifted toward higher frequencies. But when x=12, the absorbing peak frequency shifted toward lower frequencies but the minimum reflectivity value worsened.展开更多
