Stability of Tokamak Equilibrium with Internal Transport Barrier against High n MHD Ballooning Mode

Internal transport barriers （ITBs） are phenomena associated with improved confinement mode of tokamak plasmas. Within the region where the ITB locates, the plasma pressure has a large gradient while the magnetic shear s has a minimum so that within and near the ITB, the absolute value of the shear is very low. Physics involved is plentiful, from the macroscopic （ MHD ） stability, to the suppression of microscopic instabilities thought to be responsible for anomalous transport. The treatment of very low shear also poses some theoretical difficulties.

Appending triphenyltriazine to 1,10-phenanthroline: a robust electron-transport material for stable organic light-emitting diodes

There has been an increasing demand for high-performance and cost-effective organic electron-transport materials for organic light-emitting diodes （OLEDs）. In this contribution, we present a simple compound 3-（3-（4,6-diphenyl-l,3,5-triazin-2-yl）phenyl）-1,10-phenanthroline through the facile Pd-catalyzed coupling of a triphenyltriazine boronic ester with 3-hromo-1,10-phenanthroline. It shows a high Tg of 112℃. The ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy measurements reveal a deep HOMO level of -6.5 eV. The LUMO level is derived as -3.0 eV, based on the optical bandgap. The low-temperature solid-state phosphorescent spectrum gives a triplet energy of -2.36eV. n-Doping with 8-hydroxyquinolatolithium （Liq, 1：1） leads to considerably improved electron mobility of 5.2 × 10 -6 -5.8 × 10 -5 cm2 v-1 S-1 at E=（2-5） × 10 5Vcm -1, in contrast with the triarylphosphine oxide- phenantroline molecular conjugate we reported previously. It has been shown that through optimizing the device structure and hence suppressing polaron-exciton annihilation, introducing this single Liq-doped electron-transport layer could offer high-efficiency and stable phosphorescent OLEDs.

Pure aromatic hydrocarbons with meta-linked phenyl-core and perihedral fluorene substitutions with/without inert groups of tert-butyl： bipolar hosts for blue phosphorescence

Two pure hydrocarbon molecules of l,3,5-tris(9-phenyl-9H-fluoren-9-yl)benzene(mTPFB)and l,3,5-tris(2-tert-butyl-9-phenyl-9H-fluoren-9-yl)benzene(tBu-mTPFB)were synthesized.Due to the conjugation blocked connection mode and rigid/bulky substitutions,these two materials possess high triplet energy,enabling them as good hosts for blue phosphor in PhOLEDs.By studying their thermal,electrochemical,electronic absorption and photoluminescent properties,it was found that the influence of the inert tert-butyl group on material photoelectrical properties is negligible.For instance,mTPFB and tBu-mTPFB showed very similar absorption and emission profiles,with almost the same bandgap,triplet energy and energy levels.However,the encapsulation of tert-butyl on the 2-position of 9-phenylfluorene enhanced material thermal stability.Most importantly,carrier transport properties were improved dramatically,as proved by the mono carrier device.Blue phosphorescent OLEDs hosted by tBu-mTPFB showed external quantum efficiency of 15.2%and current efficiency of 23.0 cd/A,which were much higher than that of the OLEDs based on mTPFB with the analogous structure.
