A red oxide phosphor, Sr2ScAlO5:Eu2+ with perovskite-type structure, for white light-emitting diodes

Sr2ScAlO5:Eu2+,a red oxide phosphor with a perovskite-type structure,has been synthesized through a solid-state reaction and its luminescence properties have been investigated.An absorption band centering at 450 nm is observed from the diffuse reflection spectra and the excitation spectra,indicating that the phosphor can match perfectly with the blue light of InGaN light-emitting diodes.A broad red emission band at 620 nm is found from the emission spectra,originating from the 4f 6 5d-4f 7 transition of the Eu 2+ ions.The best doping content of Eu in this material is about 5%.Sr2ScAlO5:Eu2+is a highly promising red phosphor for use in white light-emitting diodes.     

Efficient diode-pumped passively Q-switched laser with Nd:YAG/Cr:YAG composite crystal

Diffusion bonded Nd:YAG/Cr:YAG composite laser crystal has been employed to perform a compact diode-pumped passively Q-switched laser. At the incident pump power of 3.3 W and pulse repetition rate of 16.3 kHz, the maximum average output of 592 mW has been obtained, corresponding to an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 18%. Stable passively Q-switched operation with peak power of 6.5 kW and pulse duration of 6 ns was also achieved. It has been experimentally revealed that Nd:host/Cr:YAG composite structure is a promising material for compact cost-effective Q-switched laser sources with high-peak power and short pulse duration. In addition, thermal lens effect (TLE) in the active medium and its impact on the Q-switched laser performance have been analyzed.     

Vibrational and thermodynamic properties of metals from a model embedded-atom potential

This work provides the first systematic test of validity of the embedded-atom potentials of Mei et al. [Phys. Rev. B 43 (1991) 4653], via a complete study of the vibrational and thermodynamic properties of isoelectronic transition (Ni, Pd, Pt) and noble (Cu, Ag, Au) metals. Phonon dispersion curves and thermal properties are studied within the quasiharmonic approximation. Results for the temperature-dependence of the lattice constants, coefficients of linear thermal expansion, isothermal and adiabatic bulk moduli, heat capacities at constant volume and constant pressure, Debye temperatures and Grüneisen parameters are presented. Electronic contribution to the specific heat is included explicitly via density-functional calculation. The calculated phonon frequencies for Ag and Cu agree well with the results from inelastic neutron scattering experiments. Despite less satisfactory agreement between calculated and measured phonon frequencies for the other four metals, isothermal and adiabatic bulk moduli and the specific heats of all metals are reproduced reasonably well by the model, while the Grüneisen parameter and Debye temperature are underestimated by about 10%. The coefficient of linear thermal expansion is underestimated with respect to measured values in most cases except for Pt and Au. The results are good for Pt up to 1000 K and for Au up to 500 K.     

Shape transition and propulsive force of an elastic rod rotating in a viscous fluid

The deformation of an elastic rod rotating in a viscous fluid is considered, with applications related to flagellar motility. The rod is tilted relative to the rotation axis, and experiments and theory are used to study the shape transition when driven either at constant torque or at constant speed. At low applied torque, the rod bends gently and generates small propulsive force. At a critical torque, the rotation speed increases abruptly, and the rod forms a helical shape with increased propulsive force. We find good agreement between theory and experiment. A simple physical model is presented to capture and explain the essential behavior.

心率变异性基本尺度熵的多尺度化研究

将基本尺度熵的方法在时间上做多尺度化的扩展,并将其应用到心跳间隔序列的分析研究中.研究发现,健康人的心率变异性是小时间尺度下的模式特定性与大时间尺度下的模式丰富性相结合的,而充盈性心衰患者则正好相反.这说明充盈性心衰患者在小时间尺度下心脏动力系统的控制不力,导致随机性增加,而在大时间尺度下对外界环境变化反应又不够丰富,从而导致生命更容易受威胁.据此提出了以小时间尺度下的基本尺度熵值相对于大时间尺度下平台区基本尺度熵值的变异参数δ作为区分健康人和充盈性心衰患者的诊断依据.通过对72例健康人和44例充盈性心衰患者的计算,发现两组样本差异显著,证明了参数δ的有效性. 关键词： 多尺度化的基本尺度熵 心跳间隔序列 心率变异性 充盈性心衰

An ultra-narrow band eight-pole dual-mode HTS patch filter

An ultra-narrow band eight-pole dual-mode HTS patch filter was designed and fabricated. The filter is constructed by four corner-cut square patches, each of which has two resonating modes. The influence of the change of the corner-cut position on the filter response was investigated by simulations. Four small rectangle patches were added in the topology of the filter as tuning tools. By employing this unique tuning structure, the simulated filter responses and current density distributions on the patches have been greatly improved. The filter was fabricated using double sided YBCO films on a 3 in. LaAlO₃ substrate. The measured results showed satisfactory performance with center frequency 2.494 GHz, fractional bandwidth 0.2%, return loss in passband better than 16 dB, and out-of-band rejection of the filter better than 90 dB at 15 MHz away from its center frequency.     

Nanostructured ZnO thin films by chemical bath deposition in basic aqueous ammonia solutions for photovoltaic applications

This paper presents further insights and observations of the chemical bath deposition (CBD) of ZnS thin films using an aqueous medium involving Zn-salt, ammonium sulfate, aqueous ammonia, and thioure. Results on physical and chemical properties of the grown layers as a function of ammonia concentration are reported. Physical and chemical properties were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray energy dispersive (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Rapid growth of nanostructured ZnO films on fluorine-doped SnO₂ (FTO) glass substrates was developed. ZnO films crystallized in a wurtzite hexagonal structure and with a very small quantity of Zn(OH)₂ and ZnS phases were obtained for the ammonia concentration ranging from 0.75 to 2.0 M. Flower-like and columnar nanostrucured ZnO films were deposited in two ammonia concentration ranges, respectively: one between 0.75 and 1.0 M and the other between 1.4 and 2.0 M. ZnS films were formed with a high ammonia concentration of 3.0 M. The formation mechanisms of ZnO, Zn(OH)₂, and ZnS phases were discussed in the CBD process. The developed technique can be used to directly and rapidly grow nanostructured ZnO film photoanodes. Annealed ZnO nanoflower and columnar nanoparticle films on FTO substrates were used as electrodes to fabricate the dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The DSSC based on ZnO-nanoflower film showed an energy conversion efficiency of 0.84%, which is higher compared to that (0.45%) of the cell being constructed using a photoanode of columnar nanoparticle ZnO film. The results have demonstrated the potential applications of CBD nanostructured ZnO films for photovoltaic cells.
