Improvement of characteristics of an InGaN light-emitting diode by using a staggered AlGaN electron-blocking layer

The optical and physical properties of an InGaN light-emitting diode (LED) with a specific design of a staggered AlGaN electron-blocking layer (EBL) are investigated numerically in detail. The electrostatic field distribution, energy band, carrier concentration, electroluminescence (EL) intensity, internal quantum efficiency (IQE), and the output power are simulated. The results reveal that this specific design has a remarkable improvement in optical performance compared with the design of a conventional LED. The lower electron leakage current, higher hole injection efficiency, and consequently mitigated efficiency droop are achieved. The significant decrease of electrostatic field at the interface between the last barrier and the EBL of the LED could be one of the main reasons for these improvements.     

线性与非线性传热过程的Curzon-Ahlborn热机在任意功率时的效率

热机性能的优化是热力学领域的一个重要问题,而工质与热源之间的传热过程是热机工作时产生不可逆的主要来源.本文在引入功率增益和效率增益两个重要参数的基础上,基于一个简化的Curzon-Ahlborn热机模型并利用合比分比原理,给出了线性与非线性传热过程的热机在任意功率输出时的效率表达式,结合数值计算详细讨论了热机在任意功率输出时的特性.研究表明,参数ξ作为功率增益δP的函数存在两个分支:在第一分支上(不利情形),效率呈现出单调变化特征;在第二分支上(有利情形),效率随着的δP变化是非单调的且有最大值.随着传热指数的增加,热机的工作区域减小,这源于非线性传热过程包含热辐射所致.进一步发现功率-效率关系曲线存在权衡工作点,热机在该点附近工作能够实现最有效的热功转换.研究结果有助于深入理解具有不同传热过程热机的优化执行.     

Design of a sector bowtie nano-rectenna for optical power and infrared detection

We designed a sector bowtie nanoantenna integrated with a rectifier (Au−TiO_x−Ti diode) for collecting infrared energy. The optical performance of the metallic bowtie nanoantenna was numerically investigated at infrared frequencies (5−30 μm) using three-dimensional frequency-domain electromagnetic field calculation software based on the finite element method. The simulation results indicate that the resonance wavelength and local field enhancement are greatly affected by the shape and size of the bowtie nanoantenna, as well as the relative permittivity and conductivity of the dielectric layer. The output current of the rectified nano-rectenna is substantially at nanoampere magnitude with an electric field intensity of 1 V/m. Moreover, the power conversion efficiency for devices with three different substrates illustrates that a substrate with a larger refractive index yields a higher efficiency and longer infrared response wavelength. Consequently, the optimized structure can provide theoretical support for the design of novel optical rectennas and fabrication of optoelectronic devices.     

Universal Expression of Efficiency at Maximum Power: A Quantum-Mechanical Brayton Engine Working with a Single Particle Confined in a Power-Law Trap

We propose a quantum-mechanical Brayton engine model that works between two superposed states, employing a single particle confined in an arbitrary power-law trap as the working substance. Applying the superposition principle, we obtain the explicit expressions of the power and efficiency, and find that the efficiency at maximum power is bounded from above by the function:η+ =θ/(θ+ 1), with being a potential-dependent exponent.
