Surface modifications of ITO electrodes for polymer light-emitting devices

Surface modifications were performed on the indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates for polymer light-emitting devices, using the different treatment methods including solvent cleaning, hydrochloric acid treatment and oxygen plasma. The influence of modifications on the surface properties of ITO electrodes were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), contact angle, and four-point probe. The surface energies of the ITO substrates were also calculated from the measured contact angles. Experimental results demonstrate that the surface properties of the ITO substrates strongly depend on the modification methods, and oxygen plasma more effectively improves the ITO surface properties compared with the other treatments. Furthermore, the polymer light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) with the differently treated ITO substrates as device electrodes were fabricated and characterized. It is observed that the surface modifications on ITO electrodes have a certain degree of influence upon the injection current, luminance and efficiency, but hardly upon the turn-on voltages of current injection and light emission which are close to the measured energy gap of electroluminescent polymer. Oxygen plasma treatment on the ITO electrode yields the better performance of the LECs, due to the improvement of interface formation and electrical contact of the ITO electrode with the polymer blend in the LECs.     

Controllable Magnetic Focusing of Cold Atoms on a Chip

We propose a new lens scheme to focus cold atoms by using a controllable inhomogeneous magnetic field from a square current-carrying wire fabricated on a chip. The spatial distributions of the magnetic field are calculated, and the results show that the generated magnetic field is a two-dimensional （2D） quadrupole one and can be used to focus cold atoms or a cold atomic beam. The dynamic processes of cold atoms passing through our square wire layout and its focusing properties are studied by using Monte Carlo simulations. Our study shows that the atomic clouds can be focused effectively by our magnetic lens scheme, and the focal length of the atomic lens and its radius of focused spot can be continuously changed by adjusting the current in the wires.     

半群K(n,r)中的幂等生成元

设Singn是由一个n元集上的所有奇异变换所构成的奇异变换半群，I是由Singn中一些亏数为1的幂等元组成的集合，Howie利用有向图证明了：I是Singn的一个生成集当且仅当与其相应的有向图D（I）是强连通的完全图，本文利用多重有向图将这一结果推广到Singn的每个理想K（,r)上。

Bis[μ‐1‐(1,10‐phenanthrolin‐2‐yl)‐2‐pyridone]bis{aqua[1‐(1,10‐phenanthrolin‐2‐yl)‐2‐pyridone]cadmium(II)} tetrakis(perchlorate)

In the title centrosymmetric binuclear complex, [Cd₂(C₁₇H₁₁N₃O)₄(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₄, the Cd^II ion assumes a distorted octahedral geometry. There are π–π stacking interactions between the pyridine and 1,10‐phenanthroline ring systems of adjacent ligands at the same Cd^II centre. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the coordinated aqua ligand and the O atom of a keto group connect adjacent complex cations into extended chains. Hydrogen bonds also exist between the complex cations and the perchlorate anions. Compared with the fluorescence spectrum of the organic ligand, the complex displays strong fluorescent emission and an ipsochromic shift of the emission peaks, which may be attributed to the structural character.     

Determination of optical nonlinearities in Cu(mpo)2 by Z-scan technique

The optical nonlinearities of Cu(mpo)₂ [formula = C₁₀H₈N₂CuO₂S₂] complex have firstly been investigated by using the Z-scan technique with a nanosecond-pulsed Nd:YAG laser at its second harmonic (532 nm) radiation. The nonlinear optical absorption and refraction coefficients of Cu(mpo)₂ have been measured with the different on-axial peak irradiances I ₀ at the waist ranging from 0.48 to 5.66 GW/cm². The nonlinear transmittance characteristics exhibit the near resonant two-photon absorption (TPA) at 532 nm and are explained by a population redistribution model. The nonlinear absorption originates from the near resonant TPA while the mechanism of the nonlinear refraction is the near resonant TPA transition enhancement. The linear increasing dependences of the optical nonlinearities on the incident irradiance arise from the population redistribution due to the near resonant TPA.
