Potential PDP phosphors with strong absorption around 172 nm: Rare earth doped NaLaP2O7 and NaGdP2O7

NaLaP₂O₇ and NaGdP₂O₇ powder samples are prepared by solid-state reactions at 750 and 600 °C, respectively, and the VUV-excited luminescence properties of Ln³⁺ (Ln=Ce, Pr, Tb, Tm, Eu) in both diphosphates are studied. Ln³⁺ ions in both hosts show analogous luminescence. For Ce³⁺-doped samples, the five Ce³⁺ 5d levels can be clearly identified. As for Pr³⁺ and Tb³⁺-doped samples, strong 4f-5d absorption band around 172 nm is observed, which matches well with Xe-He excimer in plasma display panel (PDP) devices. As a result, Pr³⁺ can be utilized as sensitizer to absorb 172 nm VUV photon and transfer energy to appropriate activators, and Tb³⁺-doped NaREP₂O₇(RE=La, Gd) are potential 172 nm excited green PDP phosphors. For Tm³⁺ and Eu³⁺-doped samples, the Tm³⁺-O²⁻ charge transfer band (CTB) is observed to be at 177 nm, but the CTB of Eu³⁺ is observed at abnormally low energy position, which might originate from multi-position of Eu³⁺ ions. The similarity in luminescence properties of Ln³⁺ in both hosts indicates certain structural resemblance of coordination environment of Ln³⁺ in the two sodium rare earth diphosphates.     

Effects of an AlN passivation layer on the microstructure and electronic properties of AlGaN/GaN heterostructures

Effects of an AlN passivation layer on the microstructure and electronic properties of AlGaN/GaN heterostructures were investigated by X-ray diffraction and Hall effect measurements. AlN passivation induced an additional compressive stress in an AlGaN barrier layer instead of an additional tensile stress induced by Si₃N₄ passivation. The change of strain after passivation contributes in a relatively small proportion to the variation of the carrier concentration in AlGaN/GaN heterostructures compared with the contribution from passivation of surface traps. The results from Hall effect measurements show that the AlN passivation layer has a better effect on passivation of deep levels than the Si₃N₄ film and also results in a remarkable increase in mobility of the two-dimensional electron gas.

Uniform Convergence of Multigrid V-Cycle on Adaptively Refined Finite Element Meshes for Elliptic Problems with Discontinuous Coefficients

The multigrid V-cycle methods for adaptive finite element discretizations of two-dimensional elliptic problems with discontinuous coefficients are considered. Under the conditions that the coefficient is quasi-monotone up to a constant and the meshes are locally refined by using the newest vertex bisection algorithm, some uniform convergence results are proved for the standard multigrid V-cycle algorithm with Gauss-Seidel relaxations performed only on new nodes and their immediate neighbours. The multigrid V-cycle algorithm uses $\mathcal{O}(N)$ operations per iteration and is optimal.     

Spectral Characterization of Nitrogen in Farmland Soil by Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

Nitrogen is one of the most important elements in farmland soil, and nitrogen content is one of the evaluation indicators of fertilizers. It is difficult to measure the nitrogen content in farmland soil because the chemical and physical properties of farmland soil are complex. Through the adoption of buffer gases to remove the influence of the nitrogen in air, this paper studied the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) characteristics of nitrogen in soil to establish a foundation for in situ measurement of nitrogen in farmland soil. Three characteristic spectral lines have been found. Based on the precise controlling of laser power and triggering of delay time between laser generation and spectra collection, we have studied the effects of laser energy on LIBS spectral characteristics and the time evolution characteristics to supply the basis of parameter optimization for the measurement. In addition, we have studied the relationship between nitrogen concentration and LIBS spectral intensity. The results demonstrated that LIBS was an effective measurement method of nitrogen content in farmland soil with simple hardware structure, fast detection, and high precision.     

Geometric Phase in a Λ-type <Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>-photon Jaynes-Cummings Model with Imaginary Photon Process

By using the Lewis–Riesenfeld invariant theory, we have studied the dynamical and the geometric phases in a generalized time-dependent Λ-type k-photon Jaynes-Cummings model with imaginary photon process. We find that the geometric phases in a cycle case are independent of the frequency of the photon field, the coupling coefficient between photons and atoms, and the atom transition frequency. If we use the more accuracy device, the geometric phases in this process may be observed, and the geometric phases in this process have the observable physical effect.
