Enhancement of ultrasonically initiated emulsion polymerization rate using aliphatic alcohols as hydroxyl radical scavengers

Ultrasonically initiated emulsion polymerization of styrene was carried out in the presence of aliphatic alcohols, e.g. methanol, ethanol, n-pronanol and n-butanol, as volatile hydroxyl radical scavengers. With the addition of methanol, the polymerization rate of styrene increased, while the molecular weight and the average particle size of the produced polystyrene decreased because more radicals were produced in the presence of methanol. This is true also for the other polymerization system using other aliphatic alcohols, such as ethanol, n-pronanol and n-butanol, suggesting that the alcohols enter into cavitation bubbles and further react with hydroxyl radicals (*OH) from the sonolysis of water to produce hydroxyalkyl radicals, so as to reduce the recombination of *H and *OH radicals, therefore more radicals will be present in the systems for initiating polymerization. Obviously, it is an effective way to enhance ultrasonically initiated emulsion polymerization rate of styrene by adding volatile hydroxyl radical scavenger.     

Simulation of plasma doping process by using the localized molecular dynamics method

Plasma doping is the candidate for semiconductor doping. Accurate simulation of the doping technology is needed for the advanced integrated circuit manufacturing. In this paper, the plasma doping process simulation is performed by using the localized molecular dynamics method. Models that involve the statistics of the implanted compositions, angles and energies are developed. The effect of the model on simulation results is studied. The simulation results about the doping concentration profile are supported by experimental data.

上行链路大气波前畸变对剪切光束成像技术的影响

剪切光束成像（sheared-beam imaging,SBI）技术是一种利用三束剪切相干激光照明的非传统成像技术,该技术通过探测器阵列接收目标反射回波的散斑图进行计算成像,在对远距离暗弱目标高分辨率成像方面有着独特的优势.大气湍流引起的光束波前畸变是影响SBI成像质量的一个关键因素,因此本文从湍流引起的激光波前畸变对目标频谱信息提取的影响入手,建立了光束波前畸变对成像影响的理论模型.利用多层相位屏模型模拟了近地25 km大气对SBI光束传输的影响.通过计算机仿真,得到了不同激光发射孔径和不同成像距离时SBI的成像结果.仿真结果表明,选取合适的发射孔径尺寸可以有效缓解湍流对光束波前质量的影响,从而提升成像质量.在Hutchin的研究基础上,对孔径选择范围的已有研究成果进行了扩展与深化.给出了SBI系统发射孔径尺寸选取的建议,为SBI对不同高度目标成像的像质差异分析提供了参考.

REBa2Cu3O7-x (RE：钇、钆等稀土元素,REBCO）高温超导体因其具备较高的不可逆场和上临界场等优越性能,一经发现就备受关注。但由于材料本身固有的陶瓷性及弱连接等属性,导致其实际应用起来难度较大。目前,人们已经发展了诸多制备工艺来克服这些困难,实现了REBCO超导体的实际应用。按照前驱膜沉积方法可将REBCO超导薄膜的制备分为物理法和化学法。本文综述了物理气相沉积（PVD-Physical Vapor Deposition）法中多源共蒸发法制备REBCO超导薄膜的技术起源及演变历程,并与金属有机沉积、金属有机化学气相沉积、脉冲激光沉积等不同方法生产的REBCO超导带材进行对比,突出多源共蒸发法制备的REBCO薄膜性能优异、在商业化生产效率上具有更大的优势。最后对多源共蒸发法制备REBCO超导薄膜进行总结及展望,解决多源共蒸发沉积制备REBCO薄膜的成相机理、提高薄膜的钉扎中心等问题对未来第二代高温超导带材的大规模应用具有重要意义。     

上甸子区域大气本底站NO2柱浓度光谱反演及其变化特征

为了探究京津冀本底浓度地区NO₂这一重要空气污染物的变化特征,采用多轴差分吸收光谱技术（MAX-DOAS）在上甸子区域大气本底站开展了太阳散射光谱观测以及NO₂柱浓度反演研究。在NO₂的405～430nm特征谱段进行了定量光谱解析,并通过几何近似法计算了2009年7～9月NO₂对流层垂直柱浓度（VCD_trop）。观测期间NO₂ VCD_trop平均值和最大值分别为5.43×1015和7.15×1016 molec·cm-2。NO₂ VCD_trop日均值浓度水平较低,但总体上有上升趋势。NO₂ VCD_trop变化过程与风速风向关系密切：西南风时风速越小NO₂ VCD_trop越低,东北风对NO₂ VCD_trop有扩散稀释作用。NO₂ VCD_trop日变化形态总体上呈现为中午时段低、早晚较高的特征,并且傍晚峰值比早间峰值略高。上甸子站NO₂ VCD_trop浓度水平和日变化幅度相比北京城区同期观测结果明显偏小。NO₂ VCD_trop变化特征与河北香河和固城等污染相对较轻站点观测到的变化特征相一致。总之,MAX-DOAS能够有效监测区域本底大气的NO₂ VCD_trop,其变化特征与工业和交通排放、大气光化学过程、大气传输等复杂因素有关,还需积累更多数据和深入研究。

TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> nanotube height effect on the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells

Performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based on TiO₂ nanotubes (NTs) filled with TiO₂ nanoparticles (NPs) was studied as a function of NT height (h). The NT height was varied in the range of 1.5–7.0 μm, while the NT diameter was kept constant at ~80 nm. The studies showed that DSSC efficiency, current density, and fill factor linearly increased with h and ranged in 1.76–6.5%, 3.62–13.2 mA/cm², and 0.66–0.76, respectively, within the h range studied. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was also performed to study DSSC electron transport properties. Based on both photovoltaic and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy data, the results were explained as being due to the increased dye loading that led to higher light-harvesting efficiency.     

Improved device performance in nonpolar a ‐plane GaN LEDs using a Ni/Al/Ni/Au n‐type ohmic contact

The authors report upon the increased light‐output power (P_out) via a reduction in the forward voltage (V_f) for nonpolar a ‐plane GaN LEDs using Ni/Al/Ni/Au n‐type ohmic contacts. The specific contact resistivity of the Ni/Al/Ni/Au contact is found to be as low as 5.6 × 10^–5 whereas that of a typical Ti/Al/Ni/Au contact is 6.8 × 10^–4 Ω cm², after annealing at 700 °C. The X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy results show that the upward surface band bending is less pronounced for the Ni/Al contact compared to the Ti/Al contact, leading to a decrease in the effective Schottky barrier height (SBH). The V_f of the nonpolar LEDs decreases by 10% and P_out increases by 15% when the Ni/Al/Ni/Au scheme is used instead of the typical Ti/Al/Ni/Au metal scheme. (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
