Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Triplet State Excitons for High-Performance Organic Photodetectors: A Novel Strategy

Photoinduced charge-trapping is a promising strategy for boosting the photosensitivity of organic photodetectors at the expense of their response time. In addition, they have a low carrier extraction yield due to the formation of low-energy triplet excitons through the recombination of a photogenerated hole–electron pair. Materials with thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) exhibit a long-lived (≈µs) excited spin-triplet nearly iso-energetically aligned with that of an excited spin-singlet, which results in suppressed exciton losses and is widely used in organic light-emitting diodes. The extraction and population of triplet state excitons in TADFs is a sought-after but underexplored aspect of photoinduced gating in photodetectors. A 1,2,3,5-tetrakis(carbazol-9-yl)4,6-Dicyanobenzene (4CzIPN) TADF blend with a high-mobility Poly[2,5-bis(3-tetradecylthiophen-2-yl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene] (PBTTT-C₁₄) polymer via bulk type-II offset can increase free carrier extraction yield (fast response) and retain trapped electrons in TADF triplet states (high gain). The PBTTT-C₁₄/4CzIPN ultraviolet photodetector device maintains a trade-off between high photogain (≈10³) and fast response time (79 ms) at 300 nm while operating at a shallow dark current (≈pA). Furthermore, the device shows high external quantum efficiency (≈10⁴ %) and detectivity (≈10¹¹ Jones) for low light power (<pW). The innovative application of TADF material can lead to exciting new developments in organic-based high-performance photodetection.     

脉冲功率晶闸管反向恢复特性

为建立有效的晶闸管模型来仿真晶闸管关断时过电压,减小晶闸管过压损坏的概率,以最大通流150 kA、耐压5.2 kV的脉冲晶闸管为研究对象,将其前置于脉冲形成单元回路中作为大功率开关使用,记录放电过程中晶闸管两端电压及电流。实验数据表明：恢复过程中的电流下降率、反向恢复电荷、反向恢复电流峰值随通态电流峰值的增大而增大,晶闸管关断时间随通态电流峰值的增大而减小。此外,在关断过程中,当电流下降率在-50~1000 A/s时,电流下降率与电流峰值为线性关系。因此,在大脉冲电流条件下,推导反向恢复过程参数与通态电流参数的关系时电流下降率可用与电流峰值的线性关系代替。基于Matlab仿真平台,建立了具有反向恢复过程的脉冲晶闸管模型。该模型仿真得到的晶闸管反向恢复电流峰值与实测结果较为吻合,反向恢复电压尚待进一步修正。

带陡化间隙的触发真空开关触发源研制

针对主电极间距20 mm以上的沿面击穿型多棒极触发真空开关（TVS）,研制了开关触发源。触发源利用脉冲变压器产生脉冲高压输出,在脉冲变压器高压侧并联小容值电容并在电容后串联陡化间隙。陡化间隙的加入可以使触发源输出不受触发沿面金属蒸气沉积的影响。通过调节间隙击穿电压也可以提高电容充电电压及储存能量,从而增加TVS触发沿面被击穿时注入到其中的触发能量。使用该触发源对TVS进行导通实验,结果表明,加入陡化间隙后的触发源输出能量大幅提高且不受触发沿面金属蒸气沉积的影响,能够实现TVS的100%可靠导通。     

A Novel Gelatin-Based Sustained-Release Molluscicide for Control of the Invasive Agricultural Pest and Disease Vector Pomacea canaliculata

Pomacea canaliculata, one of the 100 most destructive invasive species in the world, and it is an important intermediate host of Angiostrongylus cantonensis. The molluscicides in current use are an effective method for controlling snails. However, most molluscicides have no slow-release effect and are toxic to nontarget organisms. Thus, these molluscicides cannot be used on a large scale to effectively act on snails. In this study, gelatin, a safe and nontoxic substance, was combined with sustained-release molluscicide and was found to reduce the toxicity of niclosamide to nontarget organisms. We assessed the effects of gelatin and molluscicide in controlling P. canaliculata snails and eggs. The results demonstrated that the niclosamide retention time with 1.0% and 1.5% gelatin sustained-release agents reached 20 days. Additionally, the mortality rate of P. canaliculata and their eggs increased as the concentration of the niclosamide sustained-release agents increased. The adult mortality rate of P. canaliculata reached 50% after the snails were exposed to gelatin with 0.1 mg/L niclosamide for 48 h. The hatching rate of P. canaliculata was only 28.5% of the normal group after the treatment was applied. The sustained-release molluscicide at this concentration was less toxic to zebrafish, which means that this molluscicide can increase the safety of niclosamide to control P. canaliculata in aquatic environments. In this study, we explored the safety of using niclosamide sustained-release agents with gelatin against P. canaliculata. The results suggest that gelatin is an ideal sustained-release agent that can provide a foundation for subsequent improvements in control of P. canaliculata.     

负折射介质中可控自陡峭效应对孤子传输的影响

研究了具有非线性极化的负折射介质中孤子脉冲的传输特性,着重分析了在常规非线性传输模型中不曾出现的由负折射介质色散磁导率导致的可控自陡峭效应对孤子传输的影响.结果表明,与正自陡峭效应一样,负自陡峭效应同样造成孤子脉冲的非对称、中心偏移和高阶孤子衰减,但脉冲偏移的方向与正自陡峭效应情形相反.此外,利用可控自陡峭效应可以从某种程度上抵消三阶色散效应导致的孤子脉冲偏移,从而实现孤子脉冲中心的无偏移传输.

3D Uranyl Organic Frameworks Supported by Rigid Octadentate Carboxylate Ligand: Synthesis,Structure Diversity,and Luminescence Properties

Seven three dimensional (3D) uranyl organic frameworks (UOFs), formulated as [NH₄][(UO₂)₃(HTTDS)(H₂O)] ( 1 ), [(UO₂)₄(HTTDS)₂](HIM)₆ ( 2 , IM=imidazole), [(UO₂)₄(TTDS)(H₂O)₂(Phen)₂] ( 3 , Phen=1,10-phenanthroline), [Zn(H₂O)₄]_0.5[(UO₂)₃(HTTDS)(H₂O)₄] ( 4 ), and {(UO₂)₂[Zn(H₂O)₃]₂(TTDS)} ( 5 ), {Zn(UO₂)₂(H₂O)(Dib)_0.5(HDib)(HTTDS)} ( 6 , Dib=1,4-di(1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzene) and [Na]{(UO₂)₄[Cu₃(u₃-OH)(H₂O)₇](TTDS)₂} ( 7 ) have been hydrothermally prepared using a rigid octadentate carboxylate ligand, tetrakis(3,5-dicarboxyphenyl)silicon(H₈TTDS). These UOFs have different 3D self-assembled structures as a function of co-ligands, structure-directing agents and transition metals. The structure of 1 has an infinite ribbon formed by the UO₇ pentagonal bipyramid bridged by carboxylate groups. With further introduction of auxiliary N-donor ligands, different structure of 2 and 3 are formed, in 2 the imidazole serves as space filler, while in 3 the Phen are bound to [UO₂]²⁺ units as co-ligands. The second metal centers were introduced in the syntheses of 4–7 , and in all cases, they are part of the final structures, either as a counterion ( 4 ) or as a component of framework ( 5 − 7 ). Interesting, in 7 , a rare polyoxometalate [Cu₃(μ₃-OH)O₇(O₂CR)₄] cluster was found in the structure. It acts as an inorganic building unit together with the dimer [(UO₂)₂(O₂CR)₄] unit. Those uranyl carboxylates were sufficiently determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction, and their topological structures and luminescence properties were analyzed in detail.
