Nonmean-Field Model for Ostwald Ripening of Two-Dimensional Islands

A nonmean-field model for the ripening of two-dimensional islands is presented. In this model, the adatom sea is divided into many small cells that are the polygons of a Voronoi network. The chemical potentials of adatom seas surrounding different islands are different. Strain generated by lattice mismatch is introduced into the model.Computer simulation under periodic boundary conditions is carried out to describe the island ripening in two cases (with and without strain), and demonstrates that small islands may grow faster than large islands, which cannot occur in the mean-field model. The simulated results also show that including strain will slow down the evolution of average island size, and an explanation for this is given.

近年来,基于晶格匹配的多结太阳能电池光电转换效率已经接近30;[1,2],中国电子科技集团公司第十八研究所三结GaInP/GaAs/Ge电池技术已经达到小批量生产水平.为了进一步提高多结太阳电池的转换效率,可以采用增加pn结的数量和优化三结电池子电池带宽组合等办法,但上述途径受到材料晶格匹配的限制,目前同时实现晶格匹配和最佳带宽的材料生长还存在一些问题.为此,我们采用与多结电池技术兼容的设备和材料,开展了基于AlInGaAsP材料的应变平衡量子阱太阳能电池的研究.本文给出GaAs单结量子阱电池的实验过程及结果,证实了量子阱结构的引入确实能够提高电池的输出电流.随着研究的深入,我们希望用此结构作为中间电池,以提高三结电池的效率.     

Current-Enhanced Quantum Well Solar Cells

We present the experimental results that demonstrate the enhancement of the short-circuit current of quantum well solar cells. The spectral response shows that the introduction of quantum wells extends the absorption spectrum of solar cells. The current densities under different truncated spectrums significantly increase, showing that quantum well solar cells are suitable to be the middle cells of GalnP/GaAs/Ge triple-junction solar cells to increase their overall conversion efficiency.     

Effects of different structural parameters and the medium environment on plasmonic lattice resonance formed by Ag nanospheres on SiO2 nanopillar arrays

The effects of the diameter of SiO2 nanopillars,the diameter of Ag nanospheres,the arrays’period,and the medium environment on the plasmonic lattice resonance(PLR)formed by Ag nanospheres on SiO2 nanopillar arrays are systematically investigated.Larger diameters of SiO2 nanopillars with other parameters kept constant will widen the PLR peak,redshift the PLR wavelength,and weaken the PLR intensity.Larger diameters of Ag nanospheres with other parameters kept constant will widen the PLR peak,redshift the PLR wavelength,and strengthen the PLR intensity.Larger array periods or larger refractive index of medium environment corresponds to larger PLR wavelengths.

采用高温固相法制备了不同掺杂浓度的YAG∶1%Ce~(3+),x%Yb~(3+)(x=5,10,15,20,25)系列荧光粉。在450 nm蓝光激发下,测试了样品的发射光谱,得到了中心波长在550 nm的可见宽带发射(Ce~(3+):5d→4f)和1 030 nm的近红外发射(Yb~(3+):2F_(5/2)→2F_(7/2))。可见和近红外发射强度随Yb~(3+)掺杂浓度的变化表明Ce~(3+)到Yb~(3+)存在能量传递过程,并得到Yb~(3+)的猝灭浓度为15%。在低温条件下(80~300 K)测试YAG∶1%Ce~(3+),15%Yb~(3+)样品的发射光谱和拉曼光谱,通过对其量子剪裁发光温度特性的分析,描述了基质声子在Ce~(3+)到Yb~(3+)的能量传递过程中起到的重要作用。
