Performance enhancement of an InGaN light-emitting diode with an AlGaN/InGaN superlattice electron-blocking layer

The efficiency enhancement of an InGaN light-emitting diode(LED) with an AlGaN/InGaN superlattice(SL)electron-blocking layer(EBL) is studied numerically,which involves the light-current performance curve,internal quantum efficiency electrostatic field band wavefunction,energy band diagram carrier concentration,electron current density,and radiative recombination rate.The simulation results indicate that the LED with an AlGaN/InGaN SL EBL has better optical performance than the LED with a conventional rectangular AlGaN EBL or a normal AlGaN/GaN SL EBL because of the appropriately modified energy band diagram,which is favorable for the injection of holes and confinement of electrons.Additionally,the efficiency droop of the LED with an AlGaN/InGaN SL EBL is markedly improved by reducing the polarization field in the active region.     

Performance improvement of blue InGaN light-emitting diodes with a specially designed n-AlGaN hole blocking layer

Blue InGaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with a conventional electron blocking layer (EBL), a common n-AlGaN hole blocking layer (HBL), and an n-AlGaN HBL with gradual Al composition are investigated numerically, which involves analyses of the carrier concentration in the active region, energy band diagram, electrostatic field, and internal quantum efficiency (IQE). The results indicate that LEDs with an n-AlGaN HBL with gradual Al composition exhibit better hole injection efficiency, lower electron leakage, and a smaller electrostatic field in the active region than LEDs with a conventional p-AlGaN EBL or a common n-AlGaN HBL. Meanwhile, the efficiency droop is alleviated when an n-AlGaN HBL with gradual Al composition is used.     

人造金刚石表面电镀镍工艺研究

采用电镀工艺对人造金刚石表面镀镍.用扫描电镜及X射线衍射方法表征不同增重率的电镀金刚石的形貌和物相;用金刚石单颗粒抗压强度测定仪测试不同增重率的单颗金刚石的抗压强度.结果表明:电镀镍金刚石表面粗糙度随镀层增重率的增大而增大;400℃处理30 min的电镀镍金刚石样品较未热处理样品的XRD图谱中,金刚石和镍均出现了峰位蓝移的现象;通过电镀方法制得的不同增重率的电镀镍金刚石样品,平均抗压强度较未镀镍金刚石有很大提高,且平均抗压强度随镀层增重率的增大而增大,经400℃处理30 min的电镀镍金刚石平均抗压强度比未热处理的电镀镍金刚石也有略微增大.     

双扩散对流中台阶结构的实验研究

线性层结的盐水系统在底部加热和顶部冷却时,会产生明显的温盐台阶结构,这是双扩散对流现象. 温盐台阶由界面和混合层组成. 温度垂向廓线的变化可以反映台阶的生成与合并. 根据盐水系统上下边界之间温差的变化,系统演化过程分为两个阶段. 在温差增加阶段,主要发现在已有台阶顶部生成新台阶,而最下层台阶与其上层台阶发生合并过程. 在此阶段,由于台阶的生成速率大于合并速率,系统内台阶越来越多. 在温差减小阶段,系统仅存在台阶的合并过程,因此台阶数目越来越少. 最后,系统内仅存在一个大尺度环流. 同时,发现台阶的生成与合并过程虽然发生在局部区域,但会影响到系统的其他区域. 例如,由于最下层台阶的合并,系统下边界的温度梯度发生明显变化. 实验中,由于最下层台阶不断与其上层台阶合并,最下层台阶厚度比其他台阶厚度大,而其他台阶厚度变化不大. 最下层台阶厚度（h）随时间（τ）的变化满足h~τ0.7 的关系.

为改善高温固相反应制备的铈掺杂钇铝石榴（YAG∶Ce3+）黄光荧光粉的发光性能,分别采用浓氨水、N,N-二甲基乙酰胺(DMAC)、三乙醇胺、聚丙烯酰胺和六次甲基四胺等的水溶液对其进行浸泡处理,比较了处理剂浓度、用量和处理剂类型对荧光粉发光强度、荧光粉温度、猝灭性能和形貌的影响,确定了以30%氨水在50 ℃浸泡50 min为优化的处理工艺,YAG∶Ce3+荧光粉发光强度比处理前约提高9.5%,荧光粉分散程度也得到改善,处理后粒径分布更加均匀。     

一种新的深度视频处理方法

深度视频的不连续性会影响其编码效率以及虚拟视点的绘制质量. 为增强深度视频的连续性, 提出了一种新的基于时空变换的深度视频处理方法: 首先检测出深度视频中的运动对象; 其次将彩色视频和对应的深度视频进行时空变换, 对运动区域和非运动区域在时间方向上进行不同强度的平滑处理; 最后对平滑过的深度视频进行重建. 实验结果表明, 提出的处理方法在保证虚拟视点绘制质量的同时, 能够节省14.89%~47.48%的码率.     

内蒙和吉林马勃的产地对比分析

采用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)和裂解-气质联用(Py-GCMS)从微观形貌、元素组成、主要类别及小分子的化学组成等方面对产自内蒙和吉林的马勃中药材直接进行原位分析,并对产自两地的马勃进行区分。 SEM结果表明,内蒙马勃属于灰包科栓皮马勃属栓皮马勃;吉林马勃属于灰包科静灰球属长根静灰球菌。 FTIR光谱显示,内蒙马勃在酰胺Ⅰ带吸收峰1636 cm-1,而吉林马勃的在1654 cm-1。 吉林马勃二阶导数红外光谱在1625 cm-1有较强的吸收峰说明吉林马勃含芳香环骨架的化合物含量高于内蒙马勃,与Py-GCMS的结论中吉林马勃苯酚、对甲苯酚含量明显高于内蒙马勃相符。 另外,Py-GCMS结果可以分析出两地马勃的裂解成分及含量的差异。

Intrinsic tunneling study of underdoped Bi2Sr2-xLaxCuO6+δ superconductors

We report on a tunneling study of underdoped submicron Bi₂Sr_2-xLa_xCuO_6+δ (La-Bi2201) intrinsic Josephson junctions (IJJs), whose self-heating is sufficiently suppressed. The tunneling spectra are measured from 4.2 K up to the pseudogap opening temperature of T^* = 260 K. The gap value found from the spectral peak position is about 35 meV and has a weak temperature dependence both below and above the superconducting transition temperature of T_c = 29 K. Since the superconducting gap should have a value of 10-15 meV, our results indicate that the pseudogap (～35 meV) plays an important role in the underdoped La-Bi2201 intrinsic tunneling spectroscopy down to the lowest temperature of 4.2 K. However, the contribution of the superconducting gap can be separated by normalizing the spectra to the one near and above T_c, which shows that the IJJs can be a useful tool for the study of the electronic properties of the La-Bi2201 cuprate superconductors.     

Improving the field-emission properties of carbon nanotubes by magnetically controlled nickel-electroplating treatment

A novel magnetically controlled Ni-plating method has been developed to improve the field-emission properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The effect of the magnetic field and Ni-electroplating on CNT field-emission properties was investigated, and the results are demonstrated using scanning electron microscopy, J-E and the duration test. After treatment, the turn-on electric field declines from 1.55 to 0.91 V/μm at an emission current density of 100 μA/cm², and the emission current density increases from 0.011 to 0.34 mA/cm² at an electric field of 1.0 V/μm. Both the brightness and uniformity of the CNT emission performance are improved after treatment.
