Surface modification of multi-walled carbon nanotubes by O2 plasma

The surface modification of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by O₂ plasma was carried out in this study. In order to achieve a relatively homogeneous treatment of MWCNTs powder, a rotating barrel fixed between the two discharge electrodes was used. The effect of plasma treatment parameters, such as power, time, and positions of samples (inside and outside the barrel), on the morphology and structure of MWCNTs surface was systematically analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the direct discharge (outside the barrel) could result in not only a quick grafting of polar functional groups but also an easy damage of MWCNTs after longer time, particularly under intensive power. It was found that the surface of MWCNTs powder might be changed in three steps—expansion (loosed structure formed), peel off and oxidization with increasing of treatment time during the irradiation. In this way, a complete purification of MWCNTs powder could be finished within 30 min via plasma treatment. Our work suggested that plasma treatment could be a simple and nonpolluting method for a large scale purification of MWCNTs.     

A photonic approach for microwave/millimeter-wave frequency measurement using stimulated brillouin scattering in single mode fiber

A photonic approach for microwave/millimeter-wave (MMW) frequency measurement is proposed and demonstrated based on stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) of a 20-km standard single mode fiber (SSMF). After the MMW signal is modulated to a laser source with two sidebands using optical carrier suppression (OCS) modulation, its frequency can be easily measured by monitoring the SBS-induced amplification with a power meter. Due to the 1-pm resolution of a tunable pump laser source, a frequency measurement range of 1–40 GHz is demonstrated in our experiment with a frequency resolution of 125 MHz. We believe the frequency measurement range can be further extended to satisfy photonic radar front-end processing application.     

Segmented circular LD arrays side-pumped a Nd:YAG laser rod

We design a Nd:YAG module with symmetrical LD side-pumped structure in a periodical arrangement between circular LD arrays and holders. This novel design has great potential to be used in compact and miniature laser systems. Design optimization and simulation on thermal effects have been performed. An experiment has also been carried out. The experiment results indicate the all-solid-state laser with the-Nd:YAG module can stably operate in the range of 10–30 Hz with no controlling temperature by TE cooler. The laser beam had a divergence angle less than 3.8 mrad and a maximum output pulse of 174 mJ has been obtained at the pump current of 50 A and working frequency of 23 Hz, corresponding to optical-optical conversion efficiency of 40.2%.     

Experimental study of infrared nanosecond laser ablation of silicon: The multi-pulse enhancement effect

Experimental study has been performed on nanosecond (ns) laser ablation of silicon at 1064 nm, through which a so-called “multi-pulse enhancement effect” has been revealed, which has been rarely reported in literature. The major features of this effect are: (1) for multi-pulse laser ablation at the same spatial location, the ablation efficiency increases as the pulse number increases and the pulse-to-pulse temporal distance decreases; (2) for multi-pulse ablation performed sequentially at a group of locations, the ablation quality and efficiency starting from the second location can be significantly enhanced if the distance between adjacent locations is sufficiently small. Further study is needed to confirm and understand the underlying physical mechanism for the multi-pulse enhancement effect, which can be utilized to significantly improve the quality and efficiency of laser silicon micromachining using the low-cost and low-energy-consumption infrared ns lasers. This may decrease the cost and energy consumption of many relevant areas, such as the solar cell industry.     

Out-of-plane ellipsometry measurements of nanoparticles on surfaces for thin film coated wafer inspection

Measurements of the diameter and size distribution of nanoparticles on wafers are critical parameters in the semiconductor industry, essential to control transistor quality and increase production rate. A goniometric optical scatter instrument (GOSI) has been developed that employs polarized light scattering to make measurements of the diameter and size distribution of nanoparticles on bare and thin film coated wafers. This scatter instrument is capable of distinguishing various types of optical scattering characteristics, which correspond to the diameters of the nanoparticles and thin film thickness, on or near the surfaces using the Mueller matrix calculation in Bobbert and Vlieger (1986) [1]. The experimental results of the GOSI system show good agreement with theoretical predictions for nanoparticles of diameter 100, 200, and 300 nm on wafers coated with thin films of 2, 5, and 10 nm thickness. These results demonstrate that the polarization of light scattered by nanoparticles can be used to determine the size of particulate contaminants on bare and thin film coated silicon wafers.     

温度对潜望式激光通信终端SiC反射镜性能影响

分析了温度梯度和均匀温度对潜望式激光通信终端反射镜形变的影响,利用椭圆域上的Zernike多项式对椭圆反射镜的波前进行拟合,计算由于热形变导致的波前畸变误差,给出了星间激光通信终端反射镜均方根值、发射光束瞄准误差、接收端光强随温度梯度和均匀温度的变化关系。结果表明:温度梯度对反射镜的影响只是引起峰值光强的漂移和少许下降,当温度梯度为14 ℃/m时瞄准误差达2.1 μrad。均匀温度会引起接收端的光强分布变化,从而导致很大的瞄准误差和光强衰减,当均匀温度与参考温度的差值小于0.6 ℃时,由波前畸变误差引起的瞄准误差小于1 μrad,当差值大于0.6 ℃时,瞄准误差突然增大到几μrad,接收端光强分布发生变化,此时反射镜热形变引起的像散项对光强分布起重要作用。     

Expansion,injection and micro-explosion phenomena during the full combustion cycle of mixed fuel droplets of ethyl alcohol and biodiesel

In this study, mixed fuel droplets of ethyl alcohol and biodiesel with different volumes or ratios were prepared and the related expansion, injection and micro-explosion phenomena were investigated. During the tests, a mixed-fuel droplet was hung on a high-temperature-resistant Cr-Ni wire, which was transported to the preheating piston for heating and then was ignited automatically. Micro-needles and an infusion set also were employed to prepare mixed droplets with identical ratios but different volumes. Using a single-lens-reflex (SLR) camera, colour videos that captured the combustion process of the mixed droplets were taken and were processed into colour images using Adobe Premiere Pro CC. The colour image series were analysed to determine the ignition delay time, the burnout time and the flame characteristics during combustion of mixed droplets with different ratios. Instantaneous grey images were obtained by means of high-speed photography during combustion of the mixed droplets with different volumes and different ratios, and of droplets of E40 (in which the volume ratio of ethyl alcohol was 40%). Using Image pro plus and Origin software, the variation of normalised mean droplet diameter with time over the whole combustion cycle was calculated and the underlying reasons for various combustion phenomena were analysed.     

Device research on GaAs-based InAlAs/InGaAs metamorphic high electron mobility transistors grown by metal organic chemical vapour deposition

This paper applies a novel quad-layer resist and e-beam lithography technique to fabricate a GaAs-based InAlAs/InGaAs metamorphic high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) grown by metal organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD). The gate length of the metamorphic HEMT was 150~nm, the maximum current density was 330~mA/mm, the maximum transconductance was 470~mS/mm, the threshold voltage was -0.6~V, and the maximum current gain cut-off frequency and maximum oscillation frequency were 102~GHz and 450~GHz, respectively. This is the first report on tri-termination devices whose frequency value is above 400~GHz in China. The excellent frequency performances promise the possibility of metamorphic HEMTs grown by MOCVD for millimetre-wave applications, and more outstanding device performances would be obtained after optimizing the material structure, the elaborate T-gate and other device processes further.
