Cu过量对Cu1+x Al1-x O2(0≤x≤0.04)薄膜结构与光电性能的影响

以单相多晶Cu1+x Al1-x O2陶瓷做靶材,采用射频磁控溅射方法在石英衬底上沉积了Cu过量的Cu1+x Al1-x O2(0≤x≤0.04)薄膜.通过X射线衍射(XRD)、紫外吸收光谱以及电导率的测试,表征了不同含Cu量Cu1+x Al1-x O2薄膜的结构与光电性能.结果表明,沉积态薄膜经退火处理后,由非晶转变为具有铜铁矿结构的纯相Cu1+x Al1-x O2;退火态薄膜在可见光区域的平均透过率约为55;,平均可见光透过率不受Cu含量的影响;退火态薄膜样品的室温电导率随Cu含量的增加而增大,Cu1.04 Al0.96 O2的室温电导率最高,为1.22×10-2 S/cm;在近室温区(200～300 K),退火态薄膜均很好地符合Arrhenius热激活模式.     

Optical Trapping with Focused Surface Waves

Near-field optical trapping can be realized with focused evanescent waves that are excited at the water–glass interface due to the total internal reflection, or with focused plasmonic waves excited on the water–gold interface. Herein, the performance of these two kinds of near-field optical trapping techniques is compared using the same optical microscope configuration. Experimental results show that only a single-micron polystyrene bead can be trapped by the focused evanescent waves, whereas many beads are simultaneously attracted to the center of the excited region by focused plasmonic waves. This difference in trapping behavior is analyzed from the electric field intensity distributions of these two kinds of focused surface waves and the difference in trapping behavior is attributed to photothermal effects due to the light absorption by the gold film.     

基于MRS-SJC-Copula模型对A股与港股的动态联动性研究

由于经济增长周期变化,导致不同股票市场存在高低状态转换的现象,在研究不同股票市场之间联动性的研究时,需要考虑股票波动均值和方差两种结构变化。基于具有马尔可夫状态转换的动态SJC-Copula,结合修正ICSS算法对我国内地股票市场和香港股票市场之间的联动性进行方差结构突变点的检验。实证结果表明:国内和香港股票市场之间存在非线性非对称的时变相依性,并持续存在高低两种不同状态的概率转换。股票指数由于动态联动受到负面消息的下跌幅度大于正面消息的变化幅度,且上下尾部均受上期信息的持续影响。“沪港通”、“深港通”、中美贸易战等因素使得其上下尾部发生结构突变,内地与香港股票市场的联动性增大和市场波动幅度趋强。

微生物燃料电池阴极脱氮

微生物燃料电池(MFC)阴极电子受体的多样性可实现其阴极脱氮,从而将产生的电能合理利用,因此阴极脱氮成为了MFC的一个研究方向,同时也为实际废水中氮素的去除提供了新的可能。然而在反应过程中有众多因素会导致NOx-N与其他电子受体竞争阳极电子的现象,影响阴极反硝化过程对于电子的利用率,从而造成脱氮效率低等现实问题。目前已有许多研究通过优化MFC自身结构弥补产电的缺陷,及将与其他工艺系统耦合实现同步硝化反硝化等方法,取长补短以增加脱氮效率,降低对碳源的需求,以此解决微生物燃料电池阴极脱氮出现的问题。本文从MFC不同的脱氮历程、MFC工艺条件(pH、C/N、DO)、极室分隔材料等影响MFC阴极脱氮的因素及影响其阴极反硝化微生物群落构成等方面,进行了综述并预测未来研究方向。     

核电池概述及展望

核电池具有能量密度高、工作稳定可靠、无需人工干预等优点，在需要长期稳定供电的场合具有独特优势，其中热转换式核电池(RTG)是技术最为成熟且应用最早的一类，而β辐射伏特效应核电池已有商业化案例。目前，在β辐射伏特效应核电池研究中存在着放射源自吸收效应浪费能量、转化效率低、换能器件辐射损伤严重等问题，而对于一个实际的核电池，由于放射源自身不断衰变的属性，导致源的成分及其活度随着时间而发生变化，最终影响核电池的电学性能，其影响程度需要加以深入研究。本文以时间轴的形式对核电池的发展进行了全面回顾，简要介绍多种主流类型核电池的原理和应用范围；对于β辐射伏特效应核电池，指出放射源的自吸收是其中的关键科学问题。对于使用63Ni和TiT₂放射源的核电池，给出了其电学性能随时间变化的规律；指出对于某一特定结构的β辐射伏特效应核电池设计，在前期的模拟优化环节中，精细计算是至关重要的；最后提出了将放射源与换能材料相结合、使用含有较重同位素的换能器件的设想，这些设想有利于解决放射源自吸收问题、提高核电池输出功率和减轻辐射损伤的影响。     

A solvent-governed surface state strategy for rational synthesis of N and S co-doped carbon dots with multicolour fluorescence

ABSTRACT

Multicolour emissive carbon dots (CDs) are widely investigated by virtue of their merits on fluorescent properties. Method on heteroatom doping assisted with various solvents has been proved efficient in achieving multiple-colour-emissive CDs, especially long-wavelength emission. Herein, a synthesis of multicolour-emissive CDs by controlled surface function is reported. By tuning the thermal-pyrolysis temperature and molar ratio of reactants, optimal emission of the resulted CDs gradually shifts from blue to yellow light with the assistance of different solvents. According to the emissive relationship dependent on excitation, fluorescence lifetimes, and FT-IR of these CDs, the different surface states participated with S and N elements on the surface of carbogenic core govern fluorescent colours of the CDs. In terms of the applications, blue CDs (B-CDs) exhibits high sensitivity for ion detections of Ag⁺ and Fe³⁺, which is further illustrated to have different quenching mechanisms each other because that these ions have the affinity interaction with different surface groups of the CDs. Moreover, blue and yellow CDs solutions are mixed with PVP water solution to fabricate white-light CDs/PVP film, which exhibits stable fluorescence with a CIE coordinate of (0.32, 0.33) and endows these CDs as potentially fluorescent nanomaterial in the solid state lighting field.     

Strong Squeezing of Duffing Oscillator in a Highly Dissipative Optomechanical Cavity System

In the conventional scheme of generating strong mechanical squeezing by the joint effect between mechanical parametric amplification and sideband cooling, the resolved sideband condition is required so as to overcome the quantum backaction heating. In the unresolved sideband regime, to suppress the quantum backaction, a χ⁽²⁾ nonlinear medium is introduced to the cavity. The result shows that the quantum backaction heating effect caused by unwanted counter-rotating term can be completely removed. Hence, the strong mechanical squeezing can be obtained even for the system far from the resolved-sideband regime.
