实验研究大气压多脉冲辉光放电的模式和机理

采用稍不平行电极进行大气压He气介质阻挡多脉冲辉光放电实验,通过增强电子耦合器件相机短时曝光照片,研究大气压多脉冲辉光放电在不同时刻的放电模式.通过气隙放电电流、表面电荷计算,理论分析了表面电荷、空间电荷、外加电压与气隙电场强度的关系,研究大气压辉光放电形成多脉冲的机理.实验结果表明,放电首先在间隙稍窄的电极左端开始;在第一个脉冲电流峰值,电极右端也开始放电;第一个电流脉冲经历了Townsend放电到辉光放电的过程;电流脉冲之间的时间内,间隙一直维持着微弱的辉光放电;随后的每个电流脉冲均是辉光放电.理论分析表明,大气压辉光放电的多个电流脉冲是表面电荷、空间电荷与外加电压共同演化的结果;除放电伊始出现Townsend放电外,同一半周期内的放电电流脉冲中不会再出现Townsend放电.     

In Situ Monitored Vortex Fluidic-Mediated Protein Refolding/Unfolding Using an Aggregation-Induced Emission Bioprobe

Protein folding is important for protein homeostasis/proteostasis in the human body. We have established the ability to manipulate protein unfolding/refolding for β-lactoglobulin using the induced mechanical energy in the thin film microfluidic vortex fluidic device (VFD) with monitoring as such using an aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen), TPE-MI. When denaturant (guanidine hydrochloride) is present with β-lactoglobulin, the VFD accelerates the denaturation reaction in a controlled way. Conversely, rapid renaturation of the unfolded protein occurs in the VFD in the absence of the denaturant. The novel TPE-MI reacts with exposed cysteine thiol when the protein unfolds, as established with an increase in fluorescence intensity. TPE-MI provides an easy and accurate way to monitor the protein folding, with comparable results established using conventional circular dichroism. The controlled VFD-mediated protein folding coupled with in situ bioprobe AIEgen monitoring is a viable methodology for studying the denaturing of proteins.     

Theoretical study of hydrogen and deuterium bond in glutaric acid crystal dimer

In the spirit of the work of Blaise et al. [J Chem Phys, 2005, 122, 64306], we have extended their quantum theoretical approach by accounting for the intrinsic anharmonicity of the slow frequency mode, which is described by a Morse potential to reproduce the polarized infrared line shapes of glutaric acid dimer and its deuterium derivative at different temperatures. In this approach, the adiabatic approximation is performed for each separate H‐bond bridge of the dimer, and a strong nonadiabatic correction is introduced into the model via the resonant exchange between the fast mode excited states of the two moieties. Working within the strong anharmonic coupling theory, according to which the high‐frequency mode is anharmonically coupled to the H‐bond bridge, this approach incorporated the Davydov coupling between the excited states of the two moieties, the quantum direct and indirect dampings and the intrinsic anharmonicity of the H‐bond bridge. The spectral density was obtained within the linear response theory by Fourier transform of the damped autocorrelation functions. The numerical results show that the theoretical line shapes of the glutaric acid dimer are in fairly good agreement with the experimental ones. Using a minimum number of independent parameters, this theoretical approach fits correctly the experimental line shapes of the glutaric acid dimer. The effects of deuteration and temperature have been successfully reproduced by our calculations. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2012

LiF超薄层引起的OLEDs发光光谱展宽

将LiF插入到发光层Alq₃中,制备了有机电致发光器件(OLED),其器件的结构为:ITO/NPB (45 nm)/Alq₃ (x nm)/LiF (0.3 nm)/Alq₃ /Al(150 nm)。发现器件的电致发光谱(Electroluminescence spectra, EL)有非常明显的展宽现象,这为白光器件的制备提供了一条简单的途径。通过对比LiF在Alq₃中不同厚度处的发光谱,发现在x=10时谱线展宽最显著,器件最大亮度在22 V时达到8 260 cd/m²,最大效率可达 4.83 cd/A,并对其光谱展宽的机理及器件特性进行了分析。     

聚苯胺/ZnO纳米线薄膜材料作为发光层的柔性光电器件 及其发光机理

综合氧化锌纳米线(ZnO NWs)的光学活性与聚苯胺(PANI)的空穴传输特性,设计并制备了一种聚合物/ZnO纳米线电致发光材料,并对其发光特性进行了研究。通过高分子络合软模板法,将有序的单晶ZnO NWs均匀生长在覆有铟锡氧化物(ITO)涂层的柔性聚乙烯对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)衬底上并嵌入PANI薄膜,获得了电致发光薄膜材料和有机/无机异质结实验器件ITO/(ZnO NWs-PANI)。有机/无机异质结器件电致发光可调,在相对低的开启电压下呈现室温蓝紫外发光,并且ZnO NWs表面覆盖PANI增加了蓝紫外发光的强度和稳定性;而无PANI的ZnO NWs阵列具有450 nm处的缺陷发射峰,这可能是电子从扩展态锌间隙Zn_i到价带的跃迁引起的。这些结果表明,基于PANI/ZnO纳米线的复合材料在柔性光电器件方面的应用极具潜力。     

Nano-plasmon enhancement effect on MWIR light emitting diode performance

We observed a significant increase in electro luminescence from GaSb based mid-wave infrared (MWIR) LED device through coupling with localized surface plasmon of a single layer Au nano-particles. We fabricated an interband cascade (IC) LED device with nine cascade active/injection layers with InAs/Ga_1−x In_xSb/InAs quantum well (QW) active region. Thin Au plasmon layer of 20 nm thickness is deposited on top anode electrode by e-beam technique, which resulted in 100% increase in light output for 50 μm square mesa device. We also observed a reduction in the device turn on voltage and increase in the apparent black body emission temperature due to nano-structure surface plasmon layer.     

Electrical bistability of tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3)/ZnSe organic-inorganic bistable device

We present that the electrical bistability in organic-inorganic bistable devices based on tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq₃) and zinc selenide (ZnSe) with the tri-layer structure of Alq₃/aluminum (Al)/ZnSe. The current-voltage characteristics of the bistable device exhibit two electrical states as low (OFF state) and high (ON state) conductivity with ON/OFF ratio about four orders of magnitude. The conduction mechanisms in both ON and OFF states were analyzed by theoretical model. In the OFF state, the conduction mechanisms can be explained by thermionic emission model, which the ON state can be described by ohmic conduction model. The retention times of both states are more than 8000 s, and the device can reproduce continuous write-read-erase-read switching cycles. Moreover, for the organic-inorganic bistable device was kept at one year in ambient condition without encapsulation. The device still exhibited the electrical bistable behavior. Consequently, the ZnSe layer may be led to improve the lifetime property of the bistable device which acted as a self-encapsulating layer.

Theoretical investigation on current–voltage characteristics in all-carbon molecular device with different contact geometries

Applying nonequilibrium Green's functions in combination with the first-principles density-functional theory, we investigate electronic transport properties of an all-carbon molecular device consisting of one phenalenyl molecule and two zigzag graphene nanoribbons. The results show that the electronic transport properties are strongly dependent on the contact geometry and device's currents can drop obviously when the connect sites change from second-nearest sites from the central atom of the molecule (S site) to third-nearest sites from the central atom of the molecule (T site). More importantly, the negative differential resistance behavior is only observed on the negative bias region when the molecule connects the graphene nanoribbons through two T sites.
