基于六苯基苯骨架四苯基乙烯衍生物的合成及聚集诱导发光性质研究

设计合成了三个基于六苯基苯骨架结构的四苯基乙烯衍生物HPB-nTPE (n=2, 4, 6), 它们的分解温度均在440 ℃以上, 具有很好的热稳定性. 研究了化合物的均相溶液、聚集体以及固体粉末的光物理性质. 该类化合物具有典型的聚集诱导发光性质, 在均相溶液中几乎不发光, 而形成聚集体后发出明亮的蓝绿色荧光, 荧光量子产率分别为0.37, 0.36和0.37, 与均相溶液中相比增强了400多倍. HPB-nTPE固态呈无定形结构, 荧光量子产率分别为0.39, 0.36和0.36, 约为固态四苯基乙烯的1.8倍. HPB-nTPE的聚集态和固态的高发光量子产率来自两方面的贡献, 一是凝聚态抑制了四苯基乙烯基团中苯环的自由旋转引起的激发态非辐射跃迁, 另一方面是星形刚性六苯基苯骨架进一步抑制了凝聚态分子内和分子间四苯基乙烯基团π-π堆积引起的激发态非辐射跃迁过程, 从而提高了四苯基乙烯基团的辐射跃迁效率. 本研究对高效有机光功能材料的发展有重要意义.

Determination of Feasible Muscle Forces in Human Walking Using Static Optimization and Hill's Muscle Dynamics Constraints

Static optimization is a widely used technique for solving the redundant problem of muscle-force determination for given inverse dynamics. There are different cost functions, such as minimal metabolic energy, minimal forces, minimal fatigue, which lead to different results. One problem in this setting is that the resulting time histories of the ensuing equilibrium forces may not be feasible with respect to the muscle dynamics, i.e., the resulting force gradients at the muscle cannot be reproduced by the dynamics of the corresponding muscle. In this paper, a combined method is presented which takes into account the limitations induced by the muscle dynamics by applying static optimization techniques at each time step and prescribing minimal and maximal constraints for the forces by extrapolating the force values from previous steps using feasible muscle activation values. Thus, both the advantages of fast static optimization and the guarantee of feasible time histories of the muscle forces can be achieved. Moreover, joint forces turn out to be 20–40% higher in swing phase than those predicted with classical static optimization. (© 2009 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Junction configurations and their impacts on Cu(In,Ga)Se2 based solar cells performances

One dimension solar cells simulator package (SCAPS) is used to study the possibility of carrying out thin CIGS solar cells with high and stable efficiency. In the first step, we modified the conventional ZnO:B/i-ZnO/CdS/SDL/CIGS/Mo structure by substituting the SDL layer with the P?+?layer, having a wide bandgap from 1 to l.12?eV. Then, we simulated the J-V characteristics of this new structure and showed how the electrical parameters are affected. Conversion efficiency of 18.46% is founded by using 1.1?μm of P?+?layer thickness. Secondly, we analyze the effect of increase thickness and doping density of CIGS, CdS and P?+?layers on the electric parameters of this new structure. We show that only the short-circuit current density (J_SC) and efficiency are improved, reaching respectively 34.68?mA/cm² and 18.85%, with increasing of the acceptors density. Finally, we introduced 10?nm of various electron reflectors at the CIGS/Mo interface in the new structure to reduce the recombination of minority carriers at the back contact. High conversion efficiency of 23.34% and better stability are obtained when wide band-gap BSF is used.     

ZnO纳米棒阵列到纳米管结构的自转化机制及其在相变封装材料中的应用

In the emerging field of nanoscience, tubular structures have been attracting remarkable interest due to their well-defined geometry, high specific area, and exceptional physical and chemical properties. Among them, oriented ZnO tubular arrays are regarded as promising candidates for various applications such as optoelectronics, solar cells, sensors, field emission, piezoelectrics, and catalysis. Although template-directed and selective dissolution synthesizing strategies are commonly used to prepare ZnO nanotubes, repeatability and large scale preparation are still challenging. In this study, ZnO nanotube arrays were controllably prepared by tuning the hydrothermal parameters, without the use of any additives. The mechanism underlying the self-conversion of ZnO nanorods to nanotubes was comprehensively studied based on the surface energy theory. It has been proved that the metastable top surface of the ZnO nanorods dissolves preferentially to reach a stable state during the hydrothermal growth. The specific surface energy of different crystal faces of ZnO nanorods was calculated using molecular dynamics simulation. The top surface of the ZnO nanorod, the Zn-terminated [0001] face, demonstrated much higher surface free energy than did the lateral faces, which indicated that the self-dissolution of top face (002) is energetically favorable. The self-conversion behavior of ZnO nanorod arrays with different diameters was specifically investigated by adjusting the initial precursor concentration, density of the crystal seed layers, and growth time. The dissolution-crystallization equilibrium concentration, determined by crystal surface energy, was found to be a key factor for the formation of the tubular structure. Notably, the critical equilibrium conditions for the self-conversion of ZnO nanorods to nanotubes, including zinc ion concentration and pH, have been identified by studying parameters corresponding to the dissolution-crystallization equilibrium for the metastable top surface of the ZnO nanorods. The preparation of the ZnO nanotube arrays was successfully accelerated and simplified via two-step procedure: (1) preparation of ZnO nanorod arrays and (2) self-conversion of ZnO nanorods to nanotubes. The preparation method based on the self-conversion mechanism from rods to tubes for polar oxides is simpler and more easily controllable as compared to the reported methods involving variety of additives. Because of the advantages of adaptability to a wide range of substrates, excellent conducting properties, and filling ability, the prepared ZnO nanotube array films were used in encapsulating phase-change materials. The encapsulated phase-change material exhibited excellent heat storage/release properties and heat conductivities. This indicates the potential application of precision devices for temperature control.

Synthesis and characterization of the n-butyl palmitate as an organic phase change material

In this research, the n-butyl palmitate was synthesized using the esterification reaction of the PA with n-butanol. The ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance and Fourier transform infrared illustrated that the hydroxyl group and carboxyl group disappeared, and the ester bond appeared after the reaction, explaining that n-butyl palmitate was successfully fabricated. The differential scanning calorimetry indicated that the phase-transition temperature and latent heat are 12.6 °C and 127.1 J g^?1, which was suited to use in low-temperature fields such as food, pharmaceutical, and biomedical. The thermogravimetric analysis suggested that it had great thermal stability during the phase change process. In addition, the thermal conductivity of the n-butyl palmitate was slightly higher than other fatty acid ester, and the 500 thermal cycles test results indicated that it had excellent thermal reliability. Therefore, the n-butyl palmitate is deduced to share great thermal energy storage ability in terms of latent heat thermal energy system applications.

     

Temperature-electric field hysteresis loop of multicaloric effects in PbZr0.8Ti0.2O3 thin films

The Multicaloric effect in the PbZr_0.8Ti_0.2O₃ thin films is investigated with the application of sine wave electric field, dc electric field and stress using a phase field method combined with the thermodynamic analysis. The simulation results show that the adiabatic temperature change-electric field curve presents a shape of butterfly in the presence of the sine wave electric field. In order to detect the effect of the sine wave electric field, the multicaloric effect and the domain structures under the direct electric field and the sine wave electric field are compared. It is found that the domain switching behaviors are quite different under the different applied electric fields. And the negative multicaloric effect in the PbZr_0.8Ti_0.2O₃ thin film is attribute to the domain switching under the external field.     

A tunable and reconfigurable microwave photonic filter based on two cascaded modulators and a dispersive medium

A novel tunable and reconfigurable microwave photonic filter based on two cascaded modulators and a dispersive medium is proposed, theoretically discussed and experimentally demonstrated. A single-wavelength LD and a modulator (either a Mach-Zehnder modulator or a phase modulator which can avoid the dc bias drift problem) are used to obtain a multi-wavelength optical source. By adjusting the modulation frequency and the bias voltage on the modulators, the wavelength spacing and the relative amplitude of the optical tones change, thus making the filter tunable and reconfigurable. The experimental results show that the proposed filters have good tunability and reconfigurability and the mainlobe-to-sidelobe ratio of around 25 dB is achieved.     

Analysis of spectral characteristics for reflective tilted fiber gratings of uniform periods

On the basis of the coupled-mode theory, a detailed investigation of the optical spectral characteristics is presented for uniform tilted fiber gratings. Explicit expressions are derived for the spectral parameters of reflection and transmission spectra. Numerical simulations are carried on to show the dependences of grating spectral responses on the structural parameters, such as tilt angle, grating length, index modulation amplitude and polarization states. The effects of these parameters on shaping the grating spectra are discussed comprehensively. The physical mechanism and intuitive phase-matching vector model are provided to explain the unique behaviors of transmission loss spectra. The results are helpful for providing a better understanding of the spectral behavior of the tilted fiber grating.
