烧结空洞对半导体激光器热分布的影响

在半导体激光器芯片与热沉的焊接过程中不可避免地会在焊料层产生一些空洞,而空洞会在铟的电迁移以及电热迁移作用下慢慢变大,使芯片局部温度迅速上升,进而影响半导体激光器的性能。针对10 W的808 nm单管焊装半导体激光器建立三维有限元模型,分别模拟计算了空洞面积、空洞厚度和空洞位置与结温的关系。芯片出光面边缘的有源区区域形成的空洞对芯片的结温影响更为显著,最后得到空洞面积与器件结温的关系,并表明对空洞率控制的重要性。

基序B参与调控模板依赖的聚合酶抑制作用

RNA依赖的RNA聚合酶是参与新冠病毒进行RNA复制与转录的主要分子机器. 之前的实验研究表明瑞德西韦在模板链上时存在两次抑制作用,即不仅可以抑制与之互补的尿嘧啶核苷三磷酸的加成,还可以抑制下一位核苷三磷酸的加成. 然而,第二次抑制作用的分子机制尚未阐明. 本文运用了分子动力学模拟,发现瑞德西韦在模板链上的第二次抑制不是直接作用于核苷酸在活性位点的加成,而是源于瑞德西韦从+1位点到-1位点的迁移过程受到阻碍,这将导致活性位点无法空出,核苷三磷酸无法进入活性位点从而产物链的延长被终止. 首先,发现了基序B中G683会和瑞德西韦的1''-氰基相互作用,导致移位后态的RNA双链配对稳定性低于移位前态,从而使得瑞德西韦的移位在热力学上不易发生. 其次,由于瑞德西韦的1''-氰基在迁移过程中会与基序B的S682产生位阻,进一步从动力学上阻碍了瑞德西韦动态移位的发生. 本研究不仅揭示了基序B上两个相邻且高度保守的氨基酸可以调控瑞德西韦沿模板链的移位过程,同时,本文的发现也进一步完善了对瑞德西韦抑制新冠病毒RNA复制和转录的分子机制的理解.     

Evaluation and prediction of the degradation of space Si solar cells induced by a low-earth-orbit radiation environment

Space-graded silicon solar cells are evaluated by 1 MeV and 2 MeV electron-irradiation. The mean degradation of the maximum power (P_max) is presented and analyzed. The degradation at both electron energies has been correlated with the displacement damage dose (D_d). A good linearity between the electron D_d and the mean P_max degradation is obtained. The concept of D_d has also been used to predict the Si solar cell response in a low-earth-orbit (Altitude 799 km, Inclination 99^o) radiation environment, considering the shielded effect of a 120 μ m-thick silica coverglass on reducing the radiation. Compared with the on-orbit data from a Si solar array of a Chinese satellite (duration from April 2007 to July 2010), a good match can be found between the on-orbit data and the predicted results using D_d methodology, indicating the method is appropriate for evaluating the radiation damage of the solar cells, and also to provide a new technique for studying radiation effects on the optoelectronic detectors used in many high energy physics applications, where harsh radiation environments produce damage in optoelectronic device materials.     

915 nm宽条形半导体激光器输出特性

为了研究温升对915 nm宽条形应变量子阱半导体激光器输出特性的影响,搭建了基于半导体制冷片(TEC)的双向温控平台对其进行了测试。首先,改变激光器的外表面温度,测量其在不同注入电流时的光功率和波长,并利用CCD相机测量其慢轴发散角。然后,利用计算机仿真软件对激光器的工作状态进行稳态模拟,从而获得了其对应的热分布情况,通过将模拟得到的数据与实验测量的结果进行比较,获得了两者趋于一致的结论:当热功率从2.1 W升高至20.0 W时,慢轴发散角从2.6°增大至5.0°,同时波长发生红移,热透镜焦距减小;激光器波长随温度变化关系的系数约为0.4 nm/℃,器件热阻为1.5 K/W。因此,为了同时获得高的输出功率和稳定的输出波长,有必要将激光器外表面温度精确控制在某一数值,否则波长将会发生漂移;此外,在设计制作高功率半导体激光器时,通过适当增加条宽并采用散热良好的封装结构,可以减小对慢轴发散角的影响。     

Effects of electron radiation on shielded space and triple-junction GaAs solar cells

The displacement damage dose methodology for analysing and modelling the performance of triple-junction InGaP₂/GaAs/Ge solar cells in an electron radiation environment is presented. Degradations at different electron energies are correlated with displacement damage dose (D_\rm d). One particular electron radiation environment, relative to a geosynchronous earth orbit (GEO), is chosen to calculate the total D_\rm d behind the different thicknesses coverglasses to predict the performance degradation at the end of the 15-year mission.     

Accurate quantification of hydration number for polyethylene glycol molecules

Hydration water can even decide the physicochemical properties of hydrated organic molecules. However, by far the most important hydration number for organic molecules, in particular polyethylene glycol which we are concerned with here, usually suffers from a large discrepancy. Here, we provide a scheme for accurate and unambiguous quantification of the hydration number based on the universal water-content dependence of glass transition temperature for aqueous solutions, testified by experimental results for polyethylene glycol molecules of a molar weight ranging from 200 to 20000.Moreover, we also clarify the fundamental misunderstanding lying in the definition and quantification of hydration water for PEG molecules in the literature, therein the hydration number for PEG in water-rich solutions has been determined at a critical concentration, across which the properties of the solution display obviously distinct water-content dependence.
