Flexural contact in MEMS stiction

Adhesive force between two solid surfaces can lead to stiction failure of the micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) device. The competition between the adhesive force and the beam restoring force determines whether the stiction occurs or not. Previous models assume that the stuck beam deforms either as the arc-shape or the S-shape, which causes significant differences in the measurements of adhesion and disputations among researchers. The contact mechanics model presented in this paper shows that the assumptions of the arc-shape and S-shape on the beam deformation over-simplify the problem; both the arc-shaped deformation and S-shaped deformation significantly deviate from the real ones. The previous theories are shown to be incompatible with the recent experimental results. The model presented in this paper attempts to explain those new experimental results and resolve some disputations on the previous models. The instabilities of jump-in during loading process and jump-off during unloading process are also incorporated in this model.     

Discontinuous crack-bridging model for fracture toughness analysis of nacre

Studying the structure–property relation of biological materials can not only provide insight into the physical mechanisms underlying their superior properties and functions but also benefit the design and fabrication of advanced biomimetic materials. In this paper, we present a microstructure-based fracture mechanics model to investigate the toughening effect due to the crack-bridging mechanism of platelets. Our theoretical analysis demonstrates the crucial contribution of this mechanism to the high toughness of nacre. It is found that the fracture toughness of nacre exhibits distinct dependence on the sizes of platelets, and the optimized ranges for the thickness and length of platelets required to achieve higher fracture toughness are given. In addition, the effects of such factors as the mechanical properties of the organic phase (or interfaces), the effective elastic modulus of nacre, and the stacking pattern of platelets are also examined. Finally, some guidelines for the biomimetic design of novel materials are proposed based on our theoretical analysis.

p-GaN层厚度对GaN基p-i-n结构紫外探测器性能的影响

研究了p-GaN层厚度对GaN基pin结构紫外探测器性能的影响.模拟计算表明：较厚的p-GaN层会减小器件的量子效率,然而同时也会减小器件的暗电流,较薄的p-GaN层会增加器件的量子效率,但是同时也增加了器件的暗电流.进一步的分析表明,金属和p-GaN之间的结电场是出现这种现象的根本原因.在实际的器件设计中,应该根据实际需要选择p型层的厚度. 关键词： GaN 紫外探测器 量子效率 暗电流     

单模光纤波导模的傍轴传输特性

将LP01模表示成用拉盖尔-高斯模线性叠加的形式,利用柯林斯公式推导出单模光纤波导模通过傍轴ABCD光学系统的解析传输公式。用所得的解析公式对LP01模在自由空间的传输和聚焦特性作了研究,并和高斯基模进行了比较。数值计算结果表明,用高斯基模描述LP01模会产生一定误差。LP01模经过透镜聚焦后存在焦移,且焦移随着菲涅尔数传输特性的减小而增大。选择合适的菲涅尔数聚焦后,LP01模会出现长焦深,这是与聚焦的高斯模所不同的。     

有机层界面对双层有机发光二极管复合效率的影响

建立了双层有机发光二极管中载流子在有机层界面复合的无序跳跃理论模型.由于有机分子材料的空间及能带结构的无序性，采用刚体模型处理有机层界面问题是不恰当的，而采用无序跳跃模型比较合理.复合效率及复合电流由载流子跳跃距离、有机层界面的有效势垒高度及该界面处的电场强度分布所决定：在双层器件ITO/α-NPD/Alq₃/Al中，当所加电压小于19.5V时，复合效率随着载流子跳跃距离的增加而增加，而大于19.5V时，复合效率随着其距离的增加而减少；复合效率随着有机层界面有效势垒高度的增加而增加； 关键词： 有机层界面 双层有机发光二极管 复合效率 有效势垒高度 无序跳跃模型
