Synthesis and characterization of diphenylaminodiphenyl stryl based alternating copolymers

Diphenylaminobiphenylated stryl based alternating copolymers with phenyl or fluorene, which were expected to have a terphenylene vinylene backbone containing an (N,N‐diphenylamino)biphenyl pendant and a phenyl/fluorene/phenylene vinylene backbone containing an (N,N‐diphenylamino)biphenyl pendant, were synthesized by a Suzuki coupling reaction. The obtained copolymers were confirmed with various types of spectroscopy. The alternating copolymers showed good hole‐injection properties because of their low oxidation potential and good solubility and high thermal stability with a high glass‐transition temperature. The alternating copolymers showed blue emissions because of the adjusted conjugation lengths; the maximum wavelength was 460 nm for poly{4,4′‐biphenylene‐α‐[4″‐(N,N′‐diphenylamino)diphenyl]vinylene‐alt‐5‐(2′‐ethylhexyloxy)‐2‐methoxybenzene} and 487 nm for poly{4,4′‐biphenylene‐α‐[4″‐(N,N′‐diphenylamino)diphenyl] vinylene‐alt‐9,9‐dihexylfluorene}. The maximum brightness of indium tin oxide/poly(3,4‐ethylene dioxythiophene)/polymer/LiF/Al devices with poly{4,4′‐biphenylene‐α‐[4″‐(N,N′‐diphenylamino)diphenyl]vinylene‐alt‐5‐(2′‐ethylhexyloxy)‐2‐methoxybenzene} or poly{4,4′‐biphenylene‐α‐[4″‐(N,N′‐diphenylamino)diphenyl]vinylene‐alt‐9,9‐dihexylfluorene} as the emitting layer was 250 or 1000 cd/m², respectively. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Electrochemical deposition and structural characterization of Au-Sn alloys

In the present work the electrochemical deposition of Au-Sn alloys is addressed and a cyanide-free process is presented. The electrolyte is an acidic thiourea solution containing gold as a Au[CS(NH₂)₂]⁺ complex and tin as stannous ions. Results concerning the plating process development and deposit characterization are reported. Au-Sn alloy films with a Sn content up to 50 at% and a single-phase structure can be obtained from the acidic thiourea–Au(I) solution under pulsed current plating conditions. Alloy deposits show three main crystal structures: a face centred cubic (fcc) Au(Sn) solid solution, extending up to 7 at% Sn; a hexagonal close-packed structure, of the same type as the metallurgical phase, up to about 18 at% Sn; and a NiAs-type structure, corresponding to the phase of the equilibrium diagram, with an enlarged homogeneity range. Mechanical properties of thin layers of Au-Sn alloys derived from micro-indentation measurements follow the structural modification with the alloy composition. The ordered intermetallic phases occurring in the equilibrium binary system, in particular the and phases at 8 at% and 16 at% Sn, respectively, are not detected in the electrodeposited alloys. The main factors controlling electrochemical phase formation are pointed out, considering the differences between the phase structure of the electrodeposited alloys and the equilibrium phase diagram.Presented at the 3rd International Symposium on Electrochemical Processing of Tailored Materials held at the 53rd Annual Meeting of the International Society of Electrochemistry, 15–20 September 2002, Düsseldorf, Germany     

Explicit Solution of a Non-Linear Filtering Problem for Lévy Processes with Application to Finance

In this paper we explicitly solve a non-linear filtering problem with mixed observations, modelled by a Brownian motion and a generalized Cox process, whose jump intensity is given in terms of a Lévy measure. Motivated by empirical observations of R. Cont and P. Tankov we propose a model for financial assets, which captures the phenomenon of time inhomogeneity of the jump size density. We apply the explicit formula to obtain the optimal filter for the corresponding filtering problem.

Characteristics of cobalt-based alloy coating on tool steel prepared by powder feeding laser cladding

Co-based alloy coating was deposited on tool steel by powder feeding laser cladding. Sections of such coatings were examined to reveal their microstructures and phases using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The results showed that the prime phase (γ-Co dendrite) and other phases, including Cr₂₃C₆, Co₇W₆, and CrNi existed in the coatings. Some different solidification morphologies, such as planar (at the interface), cellular and dendrite formed, varying from the interface to the surface. Fine microstructures of γ-Co dendrite and lamellar eutectic in dendritical regions strengthened the coatings. Besides, the effects of aged treatment on the microstructure and microhardness of the surface coating were studied. Aged treatment led to the precipitations of some carbide particles (Cr₇C₃ and Co₃C) and boride particles (Co₄B) from the cladded coating, causing an increase in microhardness in the laser-cladded coating.     

An investigation into EMI-induced noise in nanometer multi-quantum well InGaN LEDs

This study investigates the low-frequency noise induced by electromagnetic radiation interference (EMI) in a nanometer multi-quantum well InGaN LED (NMQLED). Theoretical models of the noise spectra and the EMI are constructed. In general, a good agreement is identified between the experimental and theoretical results. Both sets of results reveal that the magnitude of the EMI-induced noise is related to the pulse height, the output load, the parasitic capacitance, the interference frequency and the interference amplitude. It is shown that the harmonic noise increases with an increasing interference amplitude and frequency. The techniques presented in this study provide a systematic approach for obtaining the interference noise and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in LEDs and similar wavelength-based semiconductor devices.
