Ultrabroadband superoscillatory lens composed by plasmonic metasurfaces for subdiffraction light focusing

Conventional optics is diffraction limited due to the cutoff of spatial frequency components, and evanescent waves allow subdiffraction optics at the cost of complex near‐field manipulation. Recently, optical superoscillatory phenomena were employed to realize superresolution lenses in the far field, but suffering from very narrow working wavelength band due to the fragility of the superoscillatory light field. Here, an ultrabroadband superoscillatory lens (UBSOL) is proposed and realized by utilizing the metasurface‐assisted law of refraction and reflection in arrayed nanorectangular apertures with variant orientations. The ultrabroadband feature mainly arises from the nearly dispersionless phase profile of transmitted light through the UBSOL for opposite circulation polarization with respect to the incident light. It is demonstrated in experiments that subdiffraction light focusing behavior holds well with nearly unchanged focal patterns for wavelengths spanning across visible and near‐infrared light. This method is believed to find promising applications in superresolution microscopes or telescopes, high‐density optical data storage, etc.

     

Photophysics of Fluorescent Contact Sensors Based on the Dicyanodihydrofuran Motif

Fluorescent molecular rotors have been used for measurements of local mobility on molecular length scales, for example to determine viscosity, and for the visualization of contact between two surfaces. In the present work, we deepen our insight into the excited-state deactivation kinetics and mechanics of dicyanodihydrofuran-based molecular rotors. We extend the scope of the use of this class of rotors for contact sensing with a red-shifted member of the family. This allows for contact detection with a range of excitation wavelengths up to ∼600 nm. Steady-state fluorescence shows that the fluorescence quantum yield of these rotors depends not only on the rigidity of their environment, but – under certain conditions – also on its polarity. While excited state decay via rotation about the exocyclic double bond is rapid in nonpolar solvents and twisting of a single bond allows for fast decay in polar solvents, the barriers for both processes are significant in solvents of intermediate polarity. This effect may also occur in other molecular rotors, and it should be considered when applying such molecules as local mobility probes.     

双分散颗粒体系在临界堵塞态的结构特征

堵塞行为是颗粒体系中一种常见的现象,其力学性质与堆积结构的关联非常复杂.本文采用离散元法研究了由两种不同半径颗粒组成的二维双分散无摩擦球形颗粒体系在临界堵塞态所呈现的结构特征,讨论了大小颗粒粒径比与大颗粒百分比对临界堵塞态的影响.数值模拟结果表明,当粒径比小于1.4时,临界平均接触数与大颗粒百分比关系不大,当粒径比大于1.4时随着大颗粒百分比的增大临界平均接触数先减小再增大.而临界体积分数在粒径比小于1.8时随着大颗粒百分比的增加先减小后增大,大于1.8时又基本不随大颗粒百分比而变化.大颗粒百分比在接近0或1时,系统近似为单分散体系,临界平均接触数与体积分数基本不随半径比的增大而变化;在接近0.5时,临界平均接触数随着半径比的增大逐渐减小,而临界体积分数则是先减小后增大.文中对大-小颗粒这一接触类型的百分比也进行了探讨,其值随着大颗粒百分比的增大呈二次函数的变化趋势,粒径比对这一变化趋势只有较小的影响.

Acceleration and mitigation of carrier‐induced degradation in p‐type multi‐crystalline silicon

Recently, a new carrier‐induced defect has been reported in multi‐crystalline silicon (mc‐Si), and has been shown to be particularly detrimental to the performance of passivated emitter and rear contact (PERC) cells. Under normal conditions, this defect can take years to fully form. This Letter reports on the accelerated formation and subsequent passivation of this carrier‐induced defect through the use of high illumination intensity and elevated temperatures resulting in passivation within minutes. The process was tested on industrial mc‐Si PERC solar cells, where degradation after a 100 hour stability test was suppressed to only 0.1% absolute compared to 2.1% for non‐treated cells.

Investigation of fill factor losses on 20.2% efficient n‐type mono‐like silicon solar cells with laser contact opening

Large area (243.36 cm²) back‐junction passivated emitter, rear totally diffused (PERT) solar cells with laser contact opening (LCO) on n‐type mono‐like crystalline Si with efficiencies of 20.2% are presented. Boron emitters with high electrical quality (implied open circuit voltage iV_OC up to 700 mV) are formed during a co‐diffusion step using SiO_x:B layers. Increasing the rear metal contact coverage, we observed a decrease in fill factor (FF) instead of the expected increase due to the decrease of the back side series resistance. We show that it can be attributed to recombination centers (RCs) in the space charge region underneath the contact spots inducing an increasing second diode contribution. The presented empirical model for the RCs implemented in Synopsys Sentaurus TCAD allows for a successful reproduction of the FF, pseudo FF and V_OC behaviour with contact coverage. According to this model, the RCs induced by laser ablation and subsequently evaporation of Al have a shallow exponential distribution with a characteristic length of L_T = 0.2 µm and an effective surface density of N *_T0 = 25 cm^–1.

固体核磁共振Multiple-CP定量技术的参数优化与应用研究

固体核磁共振Multiple-CP定量技术可实现对不同体系、 不同定量信息的检测. 然而, Multiple-CP对样品属性的宽容度较低, 其中有关样品属性的核磁共振参数包括氢的自旋晶格弛豫时间(T_1,H)、 交叉弛豫时 间(T_CH)和自旋锁定场下氢的自旋晶格弛豫时间(T_{\mathrm{1}\rho }^{\text{?}\mathrm{H}})等. 因而需要系统地掌握Multiple-CP各种实验参数与样品上述特性参数之间的关系, 从而确定Multiple-CP技术可适用的体系范围以及最优的实验参数范围. 基于此, 首先以L-丙氨酸为模型样品, 探讨在Multiple-CP实验中弛豫恢复时间(t_d)、 交叉极化接触时间(t_p)和交叉极化次数(n) 3种实验参数对分子中基团比例测量结果的影响规律. 并以L-缬氨酸、 L-丙氨酸/L-缬氨酸的混合物为模型样品, 探讨样品特性参数的差异性对Multiple-CP实验参数范围的影响. 实验结果表明, t_p受T_CH和\text{?}{T}_{\mathrm{1}\rho }^{\text{?}\mathrm{H}}的影响较大. 对于纯净物或均相体系, T_CH是影响t_p参数设置的关键. 依据实验数据发现, 当样品中各基团T_CH差异度小于8%时, 实验对t_p的宽容度较高; 对于混合物体系, 需同时考虑混合物中组分\text{?}{T}_{\mathrm{1}\rho }^{\text{?}\mathrm{H}\text{?}}差异度的影响. 当组分\text{?}{T}_{\mathrm{1}\rho }^{\text{?}\mathrm{H}\text{?}}差异度为32%、 各基团T_CH差异度为21%时, Multiple-CP对t_p的宽容度高, 可在较宽的参数范围内实现定量检测. 而当T_CH差异度较大时, 获取定量结果时t_p的参数范围较小, 实验条件较苛刻. Multiple-CP定量方法更适用于T_CH和\text{?}{T}_{\mathrm{1}\rho }^{\text{?}\mathrm{H}\text{?}}差异度较小的样品体系的定量研究. 通过研究样品T_CH和\text{?}{T}_{\mathrm{1}\rho }^{\text{?}\mathrm{H}\text{?}}对实验参数的影响, 总结了Multiple-CP方法所适用的样品体系特征, 为使用Multiple-CP进行定量检测提供可参考的参数设置方案.
