双激光脉冲打靶形成Gd等离子体的极紫外光谱辐射

高端芯片制造所需要的极紫外光刻技术位于我国当前面临35项"卡脖子"关键核心技术之首.高转换效率的极紫外光源是极紫外光刻系统的重要组成部分.本文通过采用双激光脉冲打靶技术实现较强的6.7 nm极紫外光输出.首先,理论计算Gd¹⁸⁺—Gd²⁷⁺离子最外层4d壳层的4p-4d和4d-4f能级之间跃迁、以及Gd¹⁴⁺—Gd¹⁷⁺离子最外层4f壳层的4d-4f能级之间跃迁对波长为6.7 nm附近极紫外光的贡献.其后开展实验研究,结果表明,随着双脉冲之间延时的逐渐增加,波长为6.7 nm附近的极紫外光辐射强度呈现先减弱、后增加、之后再减弱的变化趋势,在双脉冲延时为100 ns处产生的极紫外光辐射最强.并且,在延时为100 ns处产生的光谱效率最高,相比于单脉冲激光产生的光谱效率提升了33%.此外,发现双激光脉冲打靶技术可以有效地减弱等离子体的自吸收效应,获得的6.7 nm附近极紫外光谱宽度均小于单激光脉冲打靶的情形,且在脉冲延时为30 ns时刻所产生的光谱宽度最窄,约为单独主脉冲产生极紫外光谱宽度的1/3.同时...     

基于回波平移序列的快速三维磁共振温度成像方法

高强度聚焦超声（HIFU）是一种无创的热消融疗法，为保证其安全性和有效性，需要一种精度高、速度快的测温方法在其治疗过程中对温度进行监控.基于质子共振频率位移（PRFS）的磁共振温度成像（MRT）对温度具有较高的灵敏度，且与温度具有良好的线性关系，因此常被用于引导HIFU治疗.然而在实际应用中，HIFU治疗的最大隐患在于可能造成表皮灼伤，并且灼伤区域可能与焦点区域相隔较远.因此MRT的监控范围十分重要.本文基于三维回波平移成像序列，结合可控混叠的空间并行成像技术，实现了时间分辨率为3 s的快速三维温度成像.为了验证该方法的精度，本文首先设计了仿体降温实验，利用光纤温度计验证回波平移序列测温的准确度和精确度.然后在室温条件下扫描离体猪肉组织，对比加速前后的MRT的测温精确度.在HIFU加热条件下扫描离体猪肉组织，对比加速前后的MRT的测温准确度.结果显示，本文提出的方法可以在3 s内完成三维温度精准测量，对于HIFU治疗的安全监控具有重要意义.     

Exploring the electro‐optical properties of conjugated polymers based on oligo‐selenophene and oligo(3,4‐ethylenedioxyselenophene)

For seeking high‐efficiency narrow‐band‐gap donor materials to enhance short‐circuit current density for organic solar cells, a series of oligo‐selenophene (OS) and oligo(3,4‐ethylenedioxyselenophene) (OEDOS) with various chain lengths were designed and characterized using density functional theory (DFT) and time‐dependent DFT calculations. Based on the results, it can be seen that with increasing chain length of the oligomers in both syn‐ and anti‐adding manners, the bond length alternation is decreased which indicates that the π‐electron delocalization is increased. Also, when the chain length is increased the electronic energy gap and the optical energy gap are decreased. It can be concluded that the syn‐(OS)_n=10,14,15, anti‐(OS)_n=14 and anti‐(OEDOS)_n=7–12 oligomers can act as low‐band‐gap polymers. Therefore they can absorb more sunlight based on maximum wavelength (higher than 620 nm). Furthermore, a red shift in the simulated absorption spectra of (OS)_n and (OEDOS)_n donors is observed. It is found that (OS)_n=14,15 with syn configuration of the extended oligomers is the most suitable donor for the design of high‐performance organic solar cells possessing a narrow electronic band gap, high exciton lifetime and broad and intense absorption spectra that cover the solar spectrum leading to complete light‐harvesting efficiency.     

Research Progress and Application of Ion Funnel Technique

Ion funnel is a new-style ion guider which can reduce spatial divergence and energy dispersity of the transmission ions by using radio frequency (RF) electric field to confine the ions radially and the direct current (DC) axial electric field to move the ions toward the exit, and thus it can greatly increase the ion transmission efficiency and improve the sensitivity of the mass spectrometry. Since ion funnel was invented in 1997, it has attracted a close attention of mass spectrometry scientists all over the world. Ion funnel has been used in various kinds of mass spectrometry, and built a bridge with high efficiency ion transmission between low vacuum ionization source and high vacuum mass analyzer. In this paper, the principle, technology development, and application progress of ion funnel are reviewed, and the future prospects are prospected.     

Reduced Graphene‐Wrapped MnO2 Nanowires Self‐Inserted with Co3O4 Nanocages: Remarkable Enhanced Performances for Lithium‐Ion Anode Applications

A simple synthetic approach for graphene‐templated nanostructured MnO₂ nanowires self‐inserted with Co₃O₄ nanocages is proposed in this work. The Co₃O₄ nanocages were penetrated in situ by MnO₂ nanowires. As an anode, the as‐obtained MnO₂–Co₃O₄–RGO composite exhibits remarkable enhanced performance compared with the MnO₂–RGO and Co₃O₄–RGO samples. The MnO₂–Co₃O₄–RGO electrode delivers a reversible capacity of up to 577.4 mA h g^?1 after 400 cycles at 500 mA g^?1 and the Coulombic efficiency of MnO₂–Co₃O₄–RGO is about 96 %.     

A rapid dissolution procedure to aid initial nuclear forensics investigations of chemically refractory compounds and particles prior to gamma spectrometry

A rapid and effective preparative procedure has been evaluated for the accurate determination of low-energy (40–200 keV) gamma-emitting radionuclides (²¹⁰Pb, ²³⁴Th, ²²⁶Ra, ²³⁵U) in uranium ores and uranium ore concentrates (UOCs) using high-resolution gamma ray spectrometry. The measurement of low-energy gamma photons is complicated in heterogeneous samples containing high-density mineral phases and in such situations activity concentrations will be underestimated. This is because attenuation corrections, calculated based on sample mean density, do not properly correct where dense grains are dispersed within a less dense matrix (analogous to a nugget effect). The current method overcomes these problems using a lithium tetraborate fusion that readily dissolves all components including high-density, self-attenuating minerals/compounds. This is the ideal method for dissolving complex, non-volatile components in soils, rocks, mineral concentrates, and other materials where density reduction is required. Lithium borate fusion avoids the need for theoretical efficiency corrections or measurement of matrix matched calibration standards. The resulting homogeneous quenched glass produced can be quickly dissolved in nitric acid producing low-density solutions that can be counted by gamma spectrometry. The effectiveness of the technique is demonstrated using uranium-bearing Certified Reference Materials and provides accurate activity concentration determinations compared to the underestimated activity concentrations derived from direct measurements of a bulk sample. The procedure offers an effective solution for initial nuclear forensic studies where complex refractory minerals or matrices exist. It is also significantly faster, safer and simpler than alternative approaches.     

2,3-Disubstituted Fluorene Scaffold for Efficient Green Phosphorescent Organic Light-Emitting Diodes

Fluorene is a classic three-membered polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, and it has been widely used in optoelectronic devices. Here we explore a simple and efficient strategy for the derivatization at the 2- and 3- positions in fluorene unit. By introducing different types of substituents, we design two pairs of 2,3-disubstituted fluorene isomers and use them as host materials for phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PHOLEDs). The green PHOLEDs hosted by these fluorene derivatives realize high external quantum efficiencies (EQE) over 20 % with low efficiency roll-off. Particularly, the devices hosted by 2TRz3TPA and 2TPA3TRz achieve nearly 24 % EQE and 104 lm W⁻¹ power efficiency. These results clearly demonstrate that the 2,3-disubstituted fluorene platforms are potentially useful for constructing host materials.

量子垒生长速率对InGaN基绿光LED性能的影响

利用MOCVD技术在图形化Si(111)衬底上生长了InGaN/GaN绿光LED外延材料。在GaN量子垒的生长过程中,保持NH3流量不变,通过调节三乙基镓(TEGa)源的流量来改变垒生长速率,研究了量子垒生长速率对LED性能的影响。使用二次离子质谱仪(SIMS)和荧光显微镜(FLM)分别对量子阱的阱垒界面及晶体质量进行了表征,使用电致发光测试系统对LED光电性能进行了表征。实验结果表明,垒慢速生长,在整个测试电流密度范围内,外量子效率(EQE)明显提升。我们认为,小电流密度下,EQE的提升归结为量子阱晶体质量的改善;而大电流密度下,EQE的提升则归结为阱垒界面陡峭程度的提升。
