The film thickness dependent thermal stability of Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>:Ag thin films as high-temperature solar selective absorbers

The monolayer Al₂O₃:Ag thin films were prepared by magnetron sputtering. The microstructure and optical properties of thin film after annealing at 700 °C in air were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and spectrophotometer. It revealed that the particle shape, size, and distribution across the film were greatly changed before and after annealing. The surface plasmon resonance absorption and thermal stability of the film were found to be strongly dependent on the film thickness, which was believed to be associated with the evolution process of particle diffusion, agglomeration, and evaporation during annealing at high temperature. When the film thickness was smaller than 90 nm, the film SPR absorption can be attenuated until extinct with increasing annealing time due to the evaporation of Ag particles. While the film thickness was larger than 120 nm, the absorption can keep constant even after annealing for 64 h due to the agglomeration of Ag particles. On the base of film thickness results, the multilayer Al₂O₃:Ag solar selective thin films were prepared and the thermal stability test illustrated that the solar selectivity of multilayer films with absorbing layer thickness larger than 120 nm did not degrade after annealing at 500 °C for 70 h in air. It can be concluded that film thickness is an important factor to control the thermal stability of Al₂O₃:Ag thin films as high-temperature solar selective absorbers.     

Preparation and characterization of spinel Li4Ti5O12 nanoparticles anode materials for lithium ion battery

Spinel Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ nanoparticles were prepared via a high-temperature solid-state reaction by adding the prepared cellulose to an aqueous dispersion of lithium salts and titanium dioxide. The precursors of Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ were characterized by thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. The obtained Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ nanoparticles were characterized using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electrochemical measurements. The TEM revealed that the Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ prepared with cellulose is composed of nanoparticles with an average particle diameter of 20–30 nm. Galvanostatic battery testing showed that nano-sized Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ exhibit better electrochemical properties than submicro-sized Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ do especially at high current rates, which can deliver a reversible discharge capacity of 131 mAh g⁻¹ at the rate of 10 C, whereas that of the submicro-sized sample decreases to 25 mAh g⁻¹ at the same rate (10 C). Its reversible capacity is maintained at ~172.2 mAh g⁻¹ with the voltage range 1.0–3.0 V (vs. Li) at the current rate of 0.5 C for over 80 cycles.     

Stable dual-wavelength single-longitudinal-mode ring erbium-doped fiber laser for optical generation of microwave frequency

We demonstrate a simple dual-wavelength ring erbium-doped fiber laser operating in single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) at room temperature. A pair of reflection type short-period fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs), which have two different center wavelengths of 1545.072 and 1545.284 nm, are used as the wavelength-selective component of the laser. A segment of unpumped polarization maintaining erbium-doped fiber (PM-EDF) is acted as a narrow multiband filter. By turning the polarization controller (PC) to enhance the polarization hole burning (PHB), the single-wavelength and dual-wavelength laser oscillations are observed at 1545.072 and 1545.284 nm. The output power variation is less than 0.6 dB for both wavelengths over a five-minute period and the optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) is greater than 50 dB. By beating the dual-wavelengths at a photodetector (PD), a microwave signal at 26.44 GHz is demonstrated.     

Human‐Serum‐Albumin‐Coated Prussian Blue Nanoparticles as pH‐/Thermotriggered Drug‐Delivery Vehicles for Cancer Thermochemotherapy

Constructing novel multimodal antitumor therapeutic nanoagents has attracted tremendous recent attention. In this work, a new drug‐delivery vehicle based on human‐serum‐albumin (HSA)‐coated Prussian blue nanoparticles (PB NPs) is synthesized. It is demonstrated that doxorubicin (DOX)/HSA is successfully loaded after in situ polymerization of dopamine onto PB NPs, and the PB@PDA/DOX/HSA NPs are highly compatible and stable in various physiological solutions. The NPs possess strong near‐infrared (NIR) absorbance, and excellent capability and stability of photothermal conversion for highly efficient photothermal therapy applications. Furthermore, a bimodal on‐demand drug release sensitively triggered by pH or NIR irradiation has been realized, resulting in a significant chemotherapeutic effect due to the preferential uptake and internalization of the NPs by cancer cells. Importantly, the thermochemotherapy efficacy of the NPs has been examined by a cell viability assay, revealing a remarkably superior synergistic anticancer effect over either monotherapy. Such multifunctional drug‐delivery systems composed of approved materials may have promising biomedical applications for antitumor therapy.

The physical process analysis of the capacitance-voltage characteristics of AlGaN/AlN/GaN high electron mobility transistors

This paper deduces the expression of the Schottky contact capacitance of AlGaN/AlN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs), which will help to understand the electron depleting process. Some material parameters related with capacitance-voltage profiling are given in the expression. Detailed analysis of the forward-biased capacitance has been carried on. The gate capacitance of undoped AlGaN/AlN/GaN HEMT will fall under forward bias. If a rising profile is obviously observed, the donor-like impurity or trap is possibly introduced in the barrier.     

等离子体微带开关特性

 提出一种基于微放电等离子体的微带开关。它是以“时变等离子体”取代微带线射频微机电开关的“金属悬臂”,利用等离子体的导体或介质特性使电磁波沿其表面进行传输或截止,从而实现微带线上电磁波传输的动态控制。等离子体微带开关的基本结构包括用以隔断电磁波的微带间隙和产生片状等离子体的放电装置。放电产生时,电磁波因等离子体导体性通过开关,形成“开”状态;放电停止后,电磁波被微带间隙反射,形成“关”状态。利用CST软件仿真研究了等离子体开关特性,结果表明：这种开关的带宽由等离子体密度决定,隔离度由间隙决定,而工作插损与等离子体密度和电子碰撞频率有关。等离子体位形（宽度、厚度等）对于开关性能也非常重要。
