Thermal effect mechanism of magnetoresistance p-type diamond films

Based on the analysis and the discussion of the influence of thermal ionization energy and various scatterings on magnetoresistance（MR） of p-type diamond films, a revised model of valence band split-off over temperature is put forward, and a corresponding calculation formula is given for the MR of p-type diamond films （Corbino discs）. It is shown that the theoretical calculation that the MR of diamond films changes with temperature is consistent with the experiment. The influence of Fermi energy level on MR of diamond films is discussed. Additionally, the thermal effect mechanism of MR in p-type diamond films is also explored.     

Preparative enrichment and separation of astragalosides from Radix Astragali extracts using macroporous resins

The enrichment and separation of astragalosides I–IV (AGs I–IV) were studied on eight macroporous resins in the present study. SA‐3 resin offered the best adsorption and desorption capacities for AGs I–IV than other resins. The models of adsorption kinetics were investigated in order to elucidate the mechanism of adsorption. The pseudo‐second‐order model was the better choice than the pseudo‐first‐order model to describe the adsorption behavior of AGs I–IV onto SA‐3 resin. The equilibrium experimental data were well fitted to Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. SA‐3 resin adsorption chromatography tests were carried out to optimize the separation process of AGs I–IV from Radix Astragali extracts. With the optimum parameters for adsorption and desorption, the contents of AGs I–IV were 8.78‐, 11.60‐, 10.52‐ and 11.28‐fold increased with the recovery yields being 65.88, 90.92, 84.25 and 94.17%, respectively. The preparative enrichment and separation of AGs I–IV from Radix Astragali extracts can be easily and effectively achieved by SA‐3 resin adsorption chromatography. The developed methodology can also be referenced for the separation of other active constituents from herbal materials and manufacture of Radix Astragali products.     

The growth of Si/SiGe/Si structures for heterojunction bipolar transistor by gas source molecular beam epitaxy

Three n–p–n Si/SiGe/Si heterostructures with different layer thickness and doping concentration have been grown by a home-made gas source molecular-beam epitaxy (GSMBE) system using phosphine (PH₃) and diborane (B₂H₆) as n-and p-type in situ doping sources, respectively. Heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) have been fabricated using these structures and a current gain of 40 at 300 K and 62 at 77 K have been obtained. The influence of thickness and doping concentration of the deposited layers on the current gain of the HBTs is discussed.

基于混合溶剂有机电解液的超低温孔洞石墨烯超级电容

适用于极低温环境的石墨烯超级电容具有广阔的应用前景。然而,由于片层间严重的堆叠团聚,目前石墨烯超级电容的低温储能性能并不理想。本文使用H₂O₂氧化刻蚀法制备了孔洞石墨烯(rHGO),将传统有机溶剂碳酸丙烯酯(PC)和低凝固点溶剂甲酸甲酯(MF)混合制备了混合溶剂有机电解液,组装获得了能够在-60 ℃极低温环境下稳定工作的超级电容。结果表明,该超级电容在-60 ℃下的比电容为106.2 F·g^-1,相对于常温电容(150.5 F·g^-1)的性能保持率高达70.6%,显著优于未做处理的石墨烯(52.3%)以及文献中的其他石墨烯材料。得益于孔洞化形貌中丰富的介孔和大孔所形成的离子传输通道和缩短的离子传输路径,孔洞石墨烯内的离子扩散阻抗远小于普通石墨烯,且受温度降低的影响更小。在-60 ℃的极低温条件下,该超级电容表现出26.9 Wh·kg^-1的最大能量密度和18.7 kW·kg^-1的最大功率密度,优于传统碳材料的低温超级电容性能。-60 ℃时在5 A·g^-1电流密度下循环充放电10000次后电容保持率达89.1%,具有良好的低温循环稳定性。     

钙钛矿光伏电池的非辐射复合损耗及调控策略

基于金属卤化物的钙钛矿光伏电池(PSCs)具有较大的光吸收系数、长的载流子扩散距离以及较低的制备成本等优势,在过去十几年来得到了研究者的广泛关注,目前最高光电转换效率(PCE)已经达到25.5%。然而,由于载流子运输过程中存在各类非辐射复合损耗,器件的PCE仍然低于肖克利-奎伊瑟理论极限。本文围绕PSCs的结构与工作原理,着重综述了器件工作过程中常见的非辐射复合方式,具体包括缺陷辅助复合、界面诱导复合、俄歇复合和带尾复合等,这些复合方式作为影响器件效率与工作稳定性的重要因素,受到研究者的广泛关注。结合最新的研究进展,从减小钙钛矿晶体缺陷、钝化晶界缺陷、钝化表面缺陷、优化能级结构等四个方面总结概括了降低非辐射复合的常用措施和策略。最后,对PSCs的非辐射复合调控前景进行了展望。     

Construction of lamellar morphology by side-chain crystalline comb-like polymers for gas barrier

A comb-like polymer containing crystallized alkyl side chains and the intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the linking groups was fabricated by grafting long-chain fatty amine onto poly(styrene-co-acrylic acid)_n (P(S-AA)_n, wherein “n” denoted AA feed ratio). The chemical structures and crystallization behaviors of the comb-like polymer P(S-AA)_n-g(p) (wherein “p” denoted the number of side-chain carbon atoms) were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared, gel permeation chromatography, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and X-ray diffractometer, differential scanning calorimetry, atomic force microscopy, respectively. It was found that the lamellar morphology could be generated by controlling the grafting density and side chain length of P(S-AA)_n-g(p). Moreover, it was identified that the hydrogen bonds between amide groups could enhance the crystallinity and then adjust the interlamellar spacing of lamellar phase. As a result, P(S-AA)₇₀-g(18) with the highest degree of crystallinity and closely packed lamellar morphology showed a good gas-barrier performance, and the nitrogen permeability reached 1.78 × 10^?14 cm³·cm/cm²·s·Pa. Furthermore, the permeation switch of the obtained comb-like polymer could reach 500 times traversing the melting point.
