Photoconductivity enhancement in alkali metal doped multiwall carbon nanotubes

Photoconductivity effects in pristine and alkali-metal (K, Li) doped multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were studied under xenon (100 mW) and also halogen (10 mW) light continues sources. To perform the measurements, the pristine and alkali doped CNTs were deposited into pores of a silver foam plate with nano-metric porosity by electrophoresis technique. The foam acted as a conducting frame for sweeping the photo-induced electrons to prevent rapid local electron–hole recombination in the CNTs. The radiation spectrum of the xenon source was similar to the Sun light spectrum and under normal ambient condition the photocurrents in the alkali doped samples were enhanced noticeably in comparison with the pristine CNTs. These results present a functional photoconductive performance of a heap of as-prepared alkali-metal doped CNTs that would be applicable as a light sensor without the necessity of separation between metallic and semiconducting CNTs (m- and s-CNTs).

光声腔的性能是决定光声光谱检测灵敏度的重要因素。为了增强光声光谱检测系统的信噪比和抗干扰能力,本文首次提出一种新型的椭圆差分共振光声腔,建立了其声学特征模型并利用COMSOL软件对光声腔的声学特性进行仿真研究。研究结果表明,当椭圆截面上的混合模态在短轴方向存在奇数个角向波节时,长轴两端声压达到峰值且相位反相;当椭圆腔的半长轴长度低于4cm时,谐振频率能达到10kHz以上,Q值可达到1 835。基于这种椭圆差分光声腔,可实现光声信号的差分检测,抑制环境共模噪声;利用共振腔的高Q值特性,能有效地增强系统信噪比,实现高灵敏度的光声检测。

Electronic properties of phenanthrimidazoles as hole transport materials in organic light emitting devices and in photoelectron transfer to ZnO nanoparticles

Phenanthrimidazoles as hole transport materials have been synthesized, characterized, and applied as nondoping emitters in organic light emitting devices. The synthesized molecules possess high fluorescent quantum yield and thermal properties and display film forming abilities. The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energies of these materials are shallower than the reported tris(8‐hydroxyquinoline)aluminum (Alq₃), which enables the hole transport ability of these phenanthrimidazoles. Taking advantage of the thermal stability and hole transporting ability, these compounds can be used as a functional layer between NPB [4,4‐bis(N‐(1‐naphthyl)‐N‐phenylamino)biphenyl] and Alq₃ layers and show that these phenanthrimidazoles can be alternatively used as novel hole transport materials and to improve the device performances. Geometrical, optical, electrical, and electroluminescent properties of these molecules have been probed. Further, natural bond orbital, nonlinear optical materials (NLO), molecular electrostatic potential, and HOMO–lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LMO) energy analysis have been made by density functional theory (DFT) method to support the experimental results. Hyperpolarizability analysis reveals that the synthesized phenanthrimidazoles possess NLO behavior. The chemical potential, hardness, and electrophilicity index of phenanthrimidazoles have also been computed by DFT method. Photoinduced electron transfer explains the enhancement of fluorescence by nanoparticulate ZnO, and the apparent binding constant has been obtained. Adsorption of the fluorophore on ZnO nanoparticle lowers the HOMO and LUMO energy levels of the fluorophore. The strong adsorption of the phenanthrimidazoles on the surface of ZnO nanocrystals is likely due to the chemical affinity of the nitrogen atom of the organic molecule to Zn(II) on the surface of nanocrystal.

Computing Eigen value equation and modal dispersion characteristics of an elliptical Bragg waveguide

Using the method of separation of variables in the elliptical coordinate system, a recursive formula for the electromagnetic fields in a new type of Bragg waveguide having elliptical core cross section with multilayered cladding is derived. The eigen equation is written in the form of Mathieu and the modified Mathieu functions and a dispersion relation is obtained for various modes supported by the proposed Bragg waveguide. The cutoff frequencies for several lower order even-odd modes have been calculated and their propagation characteristics are plotted. The results show that the dispersion curves are discontinuous and modes can exist only in particular wavelength bands. The effects of elliptical eccentricity on the mode cutoff values and mode transmission are addressed. Finally, the modal birefringence in the said waveguide is also estimated.

耦合锗量子点中空穴态对称特性研究

分别采用单带重空穴近似和六带Kronig-Penney模型, 对垂直耦合锗量子点在不同耦合距离下的空穴态特性进行了计算, 并探讨了自旋-轨道的相互作用对空穴态对称性的影响. 计算结果表明: 多带耦合的框架下, 随着量子点垂直间距的增大, 空穴基态从成键态转变为反键态, 而且价带基态能级和第一激发态能级发生反交叉现象, 这与单带模型下得到的相应结果存在较大差异. 通过分析六带模型计算得到的成、反键态波函数, 轻、重空穴态和自旋-轨道分裂态对特征空穴态波函数的贡献比例随着量子点垂直间距的增大发生了转变, 并最终导致量子点空穴基态波函数由成键态转变为反键态. 关键词： 耦合量子点 空穴态 成健态-反健态 自旋-轨道
