Uncooled microbolometer detector: Recent developments at Ulis

Uncooled infrared focal plane arrays are being developed for a wide range of thermal imaging applications. Therefore, to answer these markets, a 35 μm pixel-pitch uncooled IR detector technology has been developed enabling high performance 160 × 120 and 384 × 288 arrays production. Besides a wide-band version from uncooled 320 × 240/45 μm array has been also developed in order to address process control and more precisely industrial furnaces control. The ULIS amorphous silicon technology is well adapted to manufacture low cost detector in mass production. After some brief microbolometer technological background, we present the characterization of 35 μm pixel-pitch detector as well as the wide-band 320 × 240 infrared focal plane arrays with a pixel pitch of 45 μm. Information on the new 640 × 480 array with a pixel pitch of 25 μm is also presented.     

Micromachined Uncooled IR Bolometer Linear Array Using VO2 Thin Films

Mixed vanadium oxide thin films, as VO₂ for the main composition are materials for uncooled microbolometer due to their high temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) at room temperature. This paper describes the design and fabrication of 8-element linear array IR uncooled microbolometers using the films and micromachining technology. The characteristics of the array is investigated in the spectral region of 8–12 m. The fabricated detectors exhibit responsivity of up to 10 KV/W, typical detectivity of 1.89×10⁸ cmHz^1/2/W, and thermal time constant of 11 ms, at 296 K and at a frequency of 30 Hz. Furthermore, The uncorrected response uniformity of the linear array bolometers is less than 20%.     

Control of epitaxial growth at a-Si:H/c-Si heterointerface by the working pressure in PECVD

The epitaxial-Si(epi-Si) growth on the crystalline Si(c-Si) wafer could be tailored by the working pressure in plasmaenhanced chemical vapor deposition(PECVD).It has been systematically confirmed that the epitaxial growth at the hydrogenated amorphous silicon(a-Si:H)/c-Si interface is suppressed at high pressure(hp) and occurs at low pressure(1p).The hp a-Si:H,as a purely amorphous layer,is incorporated in the 1p-epi-Si/c-Si interface.We find that:(i) the epitaxial growth can also occur at a-Si:H coated c-Si wafer as long as this amorphous layer is thin enough;(ii) with the increase of the inserted hp layer thickness,lp epi-Si at the interface is suppressed,and the fraction of a-Si:H in the thin films increases and that of c-Si decreases,corresponding to the increasing minority carrier lifetime of the sample.Not only the epitaxial results,but also the quality of the thin films at hp also surpasses that at lp,leading to the longer minority carrier lifetime of the hp sample than the lp one although they have the same amorphous phase.     

Amorphous Cobalt Coordination Nanolayers Incorporated with Silver Nanowires: A New Electrode Material for Supercapacitors

The 2D amorphous cobalt coordination framework/silver nanowires nanocomposites (A‐CoL/Ag NC) are successfully synthesized by one‐step solution agitation at room temperature. The experimental data reveal that the hybrid provides sufficient contact between active materials and electrolyte, and facilitates the transfer of ions/electrons, resulting in high specific capacitance, high output potential, great rate capacity at high current density, and good cycle stability. As supercapacitor electrode materials, the as‐prepared A‐CoL/Ag NC electrode exhibits a great specific capacitance which can reach up to 1467 mF cm^?2 at 1.0 mA cm^?2, and 1060 mF cm^?2 even at 10.0 mA cm^?2. The A‐CoL/Ag NC// activated carbon asymmetric supercapacitor (AC ASC) displays a maximum energy density (110 W h kg^?1 at 760 W kg^?1) and maximum power density (6410 W kg^?1 at 63 W h kg^?1) in 3.0 m KOH. Moreover, the developed solid‐state A‐CoL/Ag NC//AC ASC has a broad operated potential window within 0–1.6 V, long cycle life (95.2% after cycling 7000 cycles), delivering an energy density of 151 W h kg^?1 (at 790 W kg^?1), and a power density of 7972 W kg^?1 (at 70 W h kg^?1). The well‐synthesized nanocomposite provides a novel way to synthesize prominent electrode materials for supercapacitors.     

3D H2BC: A novel experiment for small-molecule and biomolecular NMR at natural isotopic abundance

3D H2BC is introduced for heteronuclear assignment on natural abundance samples even for biomolecules up to at least 10 kDa in low millimolar concentrations as an overnight experiment using the latest generation of cryogenically cooled probes. The short pulse sequence duration of H2BC is maintained in the 3D version due to multiple use of the constant-time delay. Applications ranging from a small lipid to a non-recombinant protein demonstrate the merits of 3D H2BC and the ease of obtaining assignments in chains of protonated carbons.     

Multiple resonance heteronuclear decoupling under MAS: dramatic increase of spectral resolution at moderate magnetic field and MAS frequencies

The effects of multiple-resonance heteronuclear decoupling under magic angle spinning (MAS) on the resolution of one-dimensional ¹⁹F and ³¹P and various two-dimensional MAS NMR spectra and on the residual non-refocusable coherence lifetimes in fluorinated aluminophosphate AlPO₄-CJ2, i.e. a compound that contains numerous highly abundant nuclei but no homonuclear spin bath, has been investigated. The design of the four-channel (¹H, ¹⁹F, ²⁷Al, ³¹P) MAS probe used for this study is first described. ¹H and ¹H–²⁷Al double-resonance decouplings allows lengthening the optimized transverse relaxation and increasing the resolution in the ¹⁹F and ³¹P dimensions. Under the application of multi-nuclear decoupling, a two-dimensional ¹⁹F–³¹P CP-HETCOR correlation spectrum for AlPO₄-CJ2 is recorded with unprecedented high-resolution in the two dimensions. Moreover, because ¹H-decoupling increases the ¹⁹F , it has been applied during the entire duration of the 2D NMR experiments, allowing the direct use of residual small interactions to generate ¹⁹F–¹⁹F and ¹⁹F–²⁷Al 2D NMR correlation spectra in AlPO₄-CJ2.     

Colloidal Nanoparticles: Formation of Large 2D Arrays of Shape‐Controlled Colloidal Nanoparticles at Variable Interparticle Distances (Part. Part. Syst. Charact. 1/2013)

A method for the production of homogeneous layers of nanoparticles of arbitrary shape is presented. The method relies on a ligand exchange with a functionalized polymer and a subsequent self‐assembly of a thin film on the substrates. The interparticle distances in the layer can be adjusted by the length of the polymer. In the case of spherical particles, the approach yields quasi‐hexagonal structures; in the case of anisotropic particles, the minimum distance between adjacent particles is controlled. Regular arrangements of the nanoparticles covering areas of several square centimeters are achieved.
