(Yb3+, Mn2+) Co-doped CdTe nanocrystals with enhanced quantum yields and red-shift emission

We prepared the nanocrystals (NCs) of CdTe, CdTe:Yb, and CdTe:Yb, Mn vis water phase synthesis and examined their structural, morphological, and optical properties. All NCs have a particle diameter of about 2–4 nm, and the monodispersed, uniform spherical, cubic structure of the CdTe NC remains largely unchanged after the doping with Yb and Mn. According to the X-ray diffraction results, the CdTe, CdTe:Yb, and CdTe:Yb, Mn NCs all have a cubic structure, and the diffraction peak of CdTe:Yb NC is at a lower 2θ angle compared with that of the CdTe NC. With the CdTe NC as the reference, the UV–Vis absorption of the CdTe:Yb and the CdTe:Yb, Mn NCs exhibits a blueshift and a redshift, and the emission of CdTe:Yb and CdTe:Yb, Mn has a blueshift of about 12 nm and a redshift of about 73 nm, respectively. The CdTe:Yb, Mn NCs have higher quantum yields than the CdTe:Yb NC, and the quantum yield is the highest when CdTe is doped with 1:1 Mn²⁺/Yb³⁺. In addition, both the CdTe:Yb and CdTe:Yb, Mn NCs have a shorter fluorescence lifetime than the CdTe NC.

Parameter determination from current–voltage characteristics of HgCdTe photodiodes in forward bias region

Current–voltage characteristics of HgCdTe photodiodes in the forward bias region have been modeled considering mechanisms including drift-diffusion current, recombination current, metal-semiconductor contact and constant series resistance. Moreover, a fitting method based on the genetic algorithm has been developed to obtain values of related physical parameters from the measured dynamic resistance–voltage curves. Fitting results of $n^+$ -on- $p$ planar devices with different cutoff wavelengths are presented to illustrate the model and method, which are available and promising in acquiring device parameter values and evaluating the electrode contact quality.     

Influence of the illumination on the subband structure and?occupation in AlxGa1?xN/GaN heterostructures

The subband structure and occupation in the triangular quantum well at Al _x Ga_1−x N/GaN heterointerfaces have been investigated by means of temperature dependent Shubnikov–de Haas (SdH) measurements at low temperatures and high magnetic fields under illumination. After the illumination of the heterostructures, the total two-dimensional electron gas concentration increases, and the SdH oscillation amplitudes are enhanced when there is no additional subband occupation. It is also found that the energy separation between the subbands decreases after the illumination. We suggest that the illumination decreases the electric field and thus weakens the quantum confinement of the triangular quantum well at Al _x Ga_1−x N/GaN heterointerfaces. The GaN layer is thought to be the primary contributor of the excited electrons by the illumination.     

Room-temperature base-free copper-catalyzed trifluoromethylation of organotrifluoroborates to trifluoromethylarenes

An efficient room temperature copper-catalyzed trifluoromethylation of organotrifluoroborates under the base free condition using an electrophilic trifluoromethylating reagent is demonstrated. The corresponding trifluoromethylarenes were obtained in good to excellent yields and the reaction tolerates a wide range of functional groups.     

Electrochemical Aziridination by Alkene Activation Using a Sulfamate as the Nitrogen Source

The first direct aziridination of triaryl‐substituted alkenes was achieved by means of an electrochemical process that could extend to multisubstituted styrenes. Specifically, hexafluoroisopropanol sulfamate was used as a nucleophilic nitrogen source. Mechanistic experiments suggest that this electrochemical process proceeds by stepwise formation of two C?N bonds through reactions between cationic carbon species and the sulfamate.     

High-spin yrast and yrare structures in 112In

Up to now, no experimental cross-section data exist for the ⁶⁷Zn (n,a \alpha) ⁶⁴Ni reaction in the MeV neutron energy region. In the present work, the cross-section of the ⁶⁷Zn (n,a \alpha) ⁶⁴Ni reaction was measured at E _n = 6.0 MeV. Experiments were performed at the Van de Graaff accelerator of Peking University, China. Fast neutrons were produced through the D (d, n) ³He reaction using a deuterium gas target. Absolute neutron flux was determined by a small ²³⁸U fission chamber and a BF₃ long counter was used as a neutron flux monitor. A twin gridded ionization chamber was employed as the a \alpha -particle detector and two back-to-back ⁶⁷Zn samples were used for a \alpha events measurement. Background was measured and subtracted from foreground. The measured cross-section of the ⁶⁷Zn (n,a \alpha) ⁶⁴Ni reaction was 7.3 (1±15%) mb at 6.0MeV. The present result was compared with existing evaluations and TALYS code calculations.     

3.6-W cryogenic Tm,Ho:YLF laser pumped by fiber-coupled diodes module

In this paper, we report a high power cryogenic cooling Tm(6 at.-%),Ho(0.5 at.-%):YLF laser end-pumped by a 19-fiber-coupled-diodes module with the central wavelength of 792 nm at 20°. The highest continuouswave power of 3.6 W at 2.051 μm is attained under pumping power of 13.6 W, corresponding to opticaloptical conversion efficiency of 26%, and the slope efficiency is larger than 30%. The threshold power is only about 0.16 W because of the long lifetime, large effective emission cross section, and low re-absorption in Tm,Ho:YLF crystal.     

Monte Carlo simulation on rate enhancement of nitroxide‐mediated living free‐radical polymerization

Four rate enhancing cases of nitroxide‐mediated living free‐radical polymerizations are simulated by the Monte Carlo method to investigate the effects of parameters on kinetics and molecular weight distribution of the resulting polymers. In all cases the equilibrium between growing and dormant chains shifts in favor of the growing chains under corresponding reaction conditions. The polymerization rates are therefore increased substantially without much loss in control of molecular weight and distribution of the products. The optimization of rate‐enhancement in living free‐radical polymerization is also discussed.
