Dimensional and Optoelectronic Tuning of Lead-free Perovskite Cs3Bi2I9−nBrn Single Crystals for Enhanced Hard X-ray Detection

Inorganic Bi-based perovskites have shown great potential in X-ray detection for their large absorption to X-rays, diverse low-dimensional structures, and eco-friendliness without toxic metals. However, they suffer from poor carrier transport properties compared to Pb-based perovskites. Here, we propose a mixed-halogen strategy to tune the structural dimensions and optoelectronic properties of Cs₃Bi₂I_9−nBr_n (0≤n≤9). Ten centimeter-sized single crystals are successfully grown by the Bridgman technique. Upon doping bromine to zero-dimensional Cs₃Bi₂I₉, the crystal transforms into a two-dimensional structure as the bromine content reaches Cs₃Bi₂I₈Br. Correspondingly, the optoelectronic properties are adjusted. Among these crystals, Cs₃Bi₂I₈Br exhibits negligible ion migration, moderate resistivity, and the best carrier transport capability. The sensitivities in 100 keV hard X-ray detection are 1.33×10⁴ and 1.74×10⁴ μC Gy_air⁻¹ cm⁻² at room temperature and 75 °C, respectively, which are the highest among all reported bismuth perovskites. Moreover, the lowest detection limit of 28.6 nGy_air s⁻¹ and ultralow dark current drift of 9.12×10⁻⁹ nA cm⁻¹ s⁻¹ V⁻¹ are obtained owing to the high ionic activation energy. Our work demonstrates that Br incorporation is an effective strategy to enhance the X-ray detection performance by tuning the dimensional and optoelectronic properties.

Dynamics of Phase Transitions and Hysteresis in a Viscoelastic Ericksen's Bar on an Elastic Foundation

This work is a follow-up on the study [32] of interface dynamics and hysteresis in materials undergoing solid-solid phase transitions. We consider the dynamics of a viscoelastic bar with a nonmonotone stress-strain relation and viscous stress linearly proportional to the strain rate. The bar is placed on an elastic foundation with stiffness β mimicking the interaction of phases in higher dimensions. Time-dependent displacement-controlled loading of the bar results in a tilted and serrated hysteresis loop, in qualitative agreement with some experimental observations in shape-memory alloys. The model exhibits three phase transition processes: phase nucleation, interface slip and phase annihilation. Between these dynamic processes the system gets stuck in local minimizers of the potential energy. As β increases from zero, a slip-dominated solution behavior transforms to the one where slip and annihilation events are preceded by a step-by-step nucleation process. We show that this transition is caused by an interplay between the slip-favoring inertia term and the nucleation-favoring elastic foundation terms. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

利用矩形金属周期阵列实现局域电场的增强和共振波长的可控

基于表面等离激元共振(SPR)的原理,设计了一种具有矩形凹槽周期阵列微结构的金属增强基底。利用有限元方法对基底表面附近电场的分布进行了理论模拟分析,结果表明在SPR共振情况下,其凹槽微结构坑口处可得到强局域场,局域电场强度E_max／E₀可达20。通过改变结构的周期、凹槽长度l、宽度w以及环境介质,SPR共振峰发生规律性的移动,波长覆盖范围为500～1 000 nm。入射光沿x方向偏振的情况下,随着结构x方向周期P_x的增加,SPR共振峰明显红移。当入射光波长与P_x相当时,观察到凹槽内局域电场突然减小的现象。这是由于满足了波矢匹配条件,传播型SPP被激发导致的。改变凹槽长度l,发现共振波长随l的增加红移,近似呈线性关系。环境介质折射率的增加也会引起共振峰的红移。而凹槽宽度w的增加将导致其蓝移。这种规律性的移动为实现共振波长的调控提供了途径。受Jain研究报道的启发,矩形凹槽结构可以等效为两对偶极耦合模型的组合,从而解释SPR共振峰随结构参数变化而发生的移动。     

Why a mosquito leg possesses superior load-bearing capacity on water: Experimentals

Mosquitoes possess the striking ability to walk on water because each of their legs has a huge water supporting force(WSF) that is 23 times their body weight.Aiming at a full understanding of the origins of this extremely large force,in this study,we concentrate on two aspects of it:the intrinsic properties of the leg surface and the active control of the initial stepping angle of the whole leg.Using a measurement system that we developed ourselves,the WSFs for the original leg samples are compared with those whose surface wax and microstructures have been removed and with those of a different stiffness.The results show that leg f exibility plays a dominant role over surface wax and microstructures on the leg surface in creating the supporting force.Moreover,we discuss the dependence relationship between the maximum WSF and the initial stepping angle,which indicates that the mosquito can regulate this angle to increase or decrease the WSF during landing or takeoff.These finding are helpful for uncovering the locomotion mechanism of aquatic insects and for providing inspiration for the design of microfluids miniature boats,biomimetic robots,and microsensors.

It is promising that artificial tissues/organs for clinical application can be produced via 3D bioprinting of living cells and biomaterials. The construction of microstructures biomimicking native tissues is crucially important to create artificial tissues with biological functions. For instance, the fabrication of vessel‐like networks to supply cells with initial nutrient and oxygen, and the arrangement of multiple types of cells for creating lamellar/complex tissues through 3D bioprinting are widely reported. The current advances in 3D bioprinting of artificial tissues from the view of construction of biomimetic microstructures, especially the fabrication of lamellar, vascular, and complex structures are summarized. In the end, the conclusion and perspective of 3D bioprinting for clinical applications are elaborated.
