Enhanced thermoelectric performance in p-type Mg_3Sb_2 via lithium doping

The Zintl compound Mg_3Sb_2 has been recently identified as promising thermoelectric material owing to its high thermoelectric performance and cost-effective,nontoxicity and environment friendly characteristics.However,the intrinsically p-type Mg_3Sb_2 shows low figure of merit(z T = 0.23 at 723 K) for its poor electrical conductivity.In this study,a series of Mg_(3-x)Li_xSb2 bulk materials have been prepared by high-energy ball milling and spark plasma sintering(SPS) process.Electrical transport measurements on these materials revealed significant improvement on the power factor with respect to the undoped sample,which can be essentially attributed to the increased carrier concentration,leading to a maximum z T of0.59 at 723 K with the optimum doping level x = 0.01.Additionally,the engineering z T and energy conversion efficiency are calculated to be 0.235 and 4.89%,respectively.To our best knowledge,those are the highest values of all reported p-type Mg_3Sb_2-based compounds with single element doping.     

Quality control and database on resistive plate chambers for the BESⅢ experiment

The chamber production and installation of the BESⅢ MUON identifier system have been finished. The cosmic ray test result after installation shows that the average efficiency is bigger than 95% and can meet the requirement of the design report. A database including all the chamber parameters and performance data has been constructed and is accessible online. The quality control procedures during the production and the database are described.     

Test of BESⅢ RPC in the avalanche mode

The installation of the BESⅢ RPC system has been completed. Cosmic ray test results show that they perform very well in streamer mode and meet the BESⅢ requirements. We have tested several RPCs in the avalanche mode with the addition of extra SF₆ in the gas mixture. We find an efficiency plateau that reaches ～95%, and a time resolution of 1.8 ns. This demonstrates that the BESⅢ-type RPC can work in the avalanche mode as well.

伽马辐照对掺镱光纤材料特性影响的研究

掺镱光纤是高功率激光器的核心材料,但在高能射线辐照后其应用性能会显著下降,因此有必要对掺镱光纤材料在辐照环境下的性能变化进行深入研究。采用改进型化学气相沉积法结合稀土螯合物掺杂制备了系列光纤预制棒及光纤,测试了光纤在不同剂量下射线辐照前后的高功率输出性能,以及光纤预制棒辐照前后的吸收光谱及镱离子荧光寿命。结果表明:小剂量辐照后掺镱光纤的高功率输出显著下降,通过预制棒吸收光谱可看出主要是因为伽马辐照后使掺镱光纤材料中Al的相关缺陷浓度增多,在可见光区域吸收损耗增加。Ce离子的掺杂通过缓减辐致铝氧空位中心(Al-OHC)色心缺陷的增加,减少Yb离子荧光寿命的下降,可在一定程度上抑制高功率掺镱光纤的辐致暗化。
