Effect of microstructure on thermoelectric properties of CSD-grown Bi2Sr2Co2Oy thin films

Three Bi₂Sr₂Co₂O_y thin films with different microstructures have been prepared by chemical solution deposition on LaAlO₃(001) through varying the annealing temperature. With the decrease in the annealing temperature, both the size and c-axis alignment degree of grains in the film decrease as well, leading to an increase in the film resistivity. In addition, the decrease in the annealing temperature also results in a slight increase in the seebeck coefficient due to the enhanced energy filtering effect of small-grain film. The nanostructured Bi₂Sr₂Co₂O_y film with the average grain size of about 100 nm shows a power factor comparable to that of the films with larger grains. Since the thermal conductivity of the nanostrcutured films can be depressed due to the enhanced phonon scattering by grain boundary, a higher figure of merit is expected in Bi₂Sr₂Co₂O_y thin film with grains in nanometer size.     

Energy theorems for solving equations of deflections

In this paper the unit-dummy-load method is generalized on the basis of Castigliano’s Theorem. On these grounds the general eguations of deflection surfaces of the structures, such as a kind of beams,plates and shells, are directly derived by the force method.We derived the eguations of the deflection surfaces of the rectangular thin plates and thick plates considering the effect of transverse shearing deformations with the inhomogeneous displacement boundary conditions. At the same time we give the equations of deflection axes of the corresponding straight beams.The applications of the reciprocal theorem are also generalized.Three simple calculated examples are given.     

Photoemission of graded-doping GaN photocathode

We study the photoemission process of graded-doping GaN photocathode and find that the built-in electric fields can increase the escape probability and the effective diffusion length of photo-generated electrons,which results in the enhancement of quantum efficiency.The intervalley scattering mechanism and the lattice scattering mechanism in high electric fields are also investigated.To prevent negative differential mobility from appearing,the surface doping concentration needs to be optimized,and it is calculated to be 3.19×10 17 cm 3.The graded-doping GaN photocathode with higher performance can be realized by further optimizing the doping profile.

通过X射线衍射及磁测量手段研究了Dy2AlFe16-xMnx化合物的结构和磁性.研究结果表明Dy2AlFe16-xMnx化合物具有六角相的Th2Ni17型结构.对x=1,2的样品采用X射线热膨胀测定法在104-647K的温度范围内测量了其热膨胀性质,发现这些化合物在低温下存在热膨胀反常现象,在居里点附近出现负膨胀性质.对自发磁致伸缩的研究结果表明Dy2AlFe16-xMnx化合物中存在着较强的各向异性的自发磁致伸缩,随着Mn含量的增加,其低温下的自发体磁致伸缩减弱.磁测量结果表明Mn的替代导致Dy2AlFe16-xMnx化合物的居里温度及自发磁化强度急剧下降.

Double-clad photonic crystal fiber coupler for compact nonlinear optical microscopy imaging

A 1 x 2 double-clad photonic crystal fiber coupler is fabricated by the fused tapered method, showing a low excess loss of 1.1 dB and a splitting ratio of 97/3 over the entire visible and near-infrared wavelength range. In addition to the property of splitting the laser power, the double-clad feature of the coupler facilitates the separation of a near-infrared single-mode beam from a visible multimode beam, which is ideal for nonlinear optical microscopy imaging. In conjunction with a gradient-index lens, this coupler is used to construct a miniaturized microscope based on two-photon fluorescence and second-harmonic generation. Three-dimensional nonlinear optical images demonstrate potential applications of the coupler to compact all-fiber and nonlinear optical microscopy and endoscopy.
