Polarization-enhanced bulk photovoltaic effect of BiFeO3 epitaxial film under standard solar illumination

In this Letter, we report the polarization-enhanced bulk photovoltaic effect (BPV) in pristine BiFeO₃ (BFO) epitaxial film under standard 1 sun AM 1.5 G illumination. High-quality epitaxial BFO films are grown on (001)-oriented niobium doped-SrTiO₃ substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The best BFO film based photovoltaic device achieves a power conversion efficiency of 0.0062% under standard illumination. Besides, it is found that the number of bipolar pulses plays a key role in improving the short-circuit current density and open-circuit voltage. These results are beneficial for further understanding of physical origin of the photovoltaic properties in ferroelectric oxides.     

Role of Bipolar Pulsed DBD on the Growth of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Microcystis aeruginosa</Emphasis> in Three-Phase Discharge Plasma Reactor

Algae in drinking water supplies often bring about impact on the water treatment. In this study, a bipolar pulsed dielectric barrier discharge system in three-phase discharge plasma reactor was constructed for investigating its ability to control excessive growth of cyanobacteria, Microcystis aeruginosa. Experimental results show there was almost no change in optical density immediately after the interruption of electrical discharge, but the decreasing trend of optical density, cell density and chlorophyll-a content was obvious during the incubation period, indicating a significant residual effect of electrical discharge process on the algal growth inhibition. Scanning electron microscopy investigation of algae revealed surface damage, apparent leakage of intracellular contents and pores formed after electrical discharge process, which showed that algal cells had no potential to survive and grow. Compared with the control sample, it was observed that electrical discharge on the algal extracellular products has almost no residual effect and the growth rate of algae slightly decreased before three days storage. Hydrogen peroxide was produced by electrical discharge in the μM level and showed a first-order decay. But at such level, the external addition of hydrogen peroxide alone is not likely to cause the residual effect. These results implicated that the growth inhibition of M. aeruginosa was mainly caused by electrical discharge process, and it made the algal cells lose ability to survive, demonstrating the considerable potential of such an alternative process for efficient water purification.

A novel self activated K2XV2O7 (X = Mg and Zn) pyrovanadate green phosphor: Systematic characterization and time resolved photoluminescence

Novel self activated green phosphors; K₂ZnV₂O₇ (KZV) and K₂MgV₂O₇ (KMV) have been prepared and characterized in details. Both KZV and KMV were prepared by solid state reaction and systematically characterized by a number of techniques like X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformed Infrared (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and time resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy (TRPLS). XRD studies confirm tetragonal melilite type layered phase for both of them. The presence of pyrovanadate group in both is supported by FTIR and Raman spectroscopic investigations. Raman bands of KMV are blue shifted w.r.t to KZV which may be due to shorter bond lengths of MgO compared to ZnO and lower atomic weight of magnesium compared to zinc. DRS measurements indicated the optical band gap of KMV and KZV are 3.14 and 3.12 eV, respectively. Optical measurements on these samples show the emission of green color on ultra violet light irradiation. The origin of such emission is attributed to electronic transition (charge transfer) from filled 2p orbital of oxygen ion (O²⁻) to vacant 3d orbital of vanadium ion (V⁵⁺). In KZV there are dual emission band (PL1 and PL2) which are respectively attributed to ³T₂ → ¹A₁ and ³T₁ → ¹A₁transition, and the emission zone varies slightly compared to KMV. KZV emits bluish green (cool green) where KMV emits in yellowish green (warm green) region. This is indeed an important step towards realization of cost effective rare earth free luminescence material. It is also oberved that PL intensity of KZV is very high compared to KMV which is supported by the lifetime measurements.

Synthesis of Heterocyclic Ring Systems for Heat-Resistant Plastics from Polyisocyanates

Investigations on space flight and rockets carried out in particular in the United States have aroused great interest in plastics with enhanced thermal stability. It has become possible to pass far beyond the expected limits of thermal stability with organic plastics, and to synthesize plastics and polymers that can be used at temperatures between about 200 and about 500 °C, a range that formerly appeared to be the exclusive province of inorganic materials.     

Mechanical Characterization of Angle-Ply Composite Laminates by Differential Moiré Method: The Influence of Specimens' Length-to-Width Ratio

The influence exerted by the specimen proportions on the measured performance of angle-ply [+45°/–45°]_s composite laminates is studied. Three kinds of specimens are considered, having different length-to-width ratios, made with glass/epoxy unidirectional or fabric laminae. The static tensile characteristics are measured by means of load cells, electric strain gauges and through the Moiré fringes method. The strain fields are analysed and the effects of stress concentration at the laminate-free edges are evaluated, as well as their influence on the strain distribution and the measured strength and stiffness. The results are summarized as diagrams of ultimate load and elastic modulus versus length-to-width ratio of the different specimens investigated. These diagrams allow the designer to evaluate the influence exerted by specimen proportions on the measured performance, as well as to compare characteristics which are heterogeneous, as obtained with different kinds of specimen.
