Ultrafast laser assisted fabrication of ZnO nanorod arrays for photon detection applications

Orderly aligned ZnO nanorod arrays were grown by the ultrafast laser assisted ablation deposition method. These nanorod arrays were further used to make efficient p-n heterojunction photodetector arrays, which have the potential to have nanoscale spatial resolution for imaging, unique incident polarization discrimination capability, and much improved quantum efficiency as well as detection sensitivity. Both front- and back-illumination photodetection schemes were demonstrated by growing those ZnO nanorod arrays on p-type silicon and p-type Zn_0.9Mg_0.1O-coated Al₂O₃ (0 0 0 1) substrates, respectively. Typical diode rectification behavior and photosensitivity were observed in both designs through I-V and photocurrent measurements.     

Optical and electrical properties of plasma-oxidation derived HfO2 gate dielectric films

High-k gate dielectric HfO₂ thin films have been deposited on Si(1 0 0) by using plasma oxidation of sputtered metallic Hf thin films. The optical and electrical properties in relation to postdeposition annealing temperatures are investigated by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics in detail. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement shows that the as-deposited HfO₂ films are basically amorphous. Based on a parameterized Tauc-Lorentz dispersion mode, excellent agreement has been found between the experimental and the simulated spectra, and the optical constants of the as-deposited and annealed films related to the annealing temperature are systematically extracted. Increases in the refractive index n and extinction coefficient k, with increasing annealing temperature are observed due to the formation of more closely packed thin films and the enhancement of scattering effect in the targeted HfO₂ film. Change of the complex dielectric function and reduction of optical band gap with an increase in annealing temperature are discussed. The extracted direct band gap related to the structure varies from 5.77, 5.65, and 5.56 eV for the as-deposited and annealed thin films at 700 and 800 °C, respectively. It has been found from the C-V measurement the decrease of accumulation capacitance values upon annealing, which can be contributed to the growth of the interfacial layer with lower dielectric constant upon postannealing. The flat-band voltage shifts negatively due to positive charge generated during postannealing.     

Modeling of magnetic bandages for drug targeting: Button vs. Halbach arrays

Magnetic targeting of drugs to diseased tissues, such as non-healing wounds or skin tumors, is a promising clinical use of magnetic microspheres. For successful magnetic targeting, a magnet must be placed in close proximity to the target tissue. In this work the forces exerted on magnetic microspheres by different arrangements of magnets including a simple square magnet, a number of button magnet arrays, and a Halbach array were simulated and compared. Magnetic bandages utilizing a Halbach array configuration were found to yield the best trapping characteristics (large and uniform force distributions) for magnetic targeting applications close to a surface.

A novel three-dimensional imaging method by means of coded cameras array recording and computational reconstruction

In this paper, we propose a novel three-dimensional imaging method by which the object is captured by a coded cameras array (CCA) and computationally reconstructed as a series of longitudinal layered surface images of the object. The distribution of cameras in array, named code pattern, is crucial for reconstructed images fidelity when the correlation decoding is used. We use DIRECT global optimization algorithm to design the code patterns that possess proper imaging property. We have conducted primary experiments to verify and test the performance of the proposed method with a simple discontinuous object and a small-scale CCA including nine cameras. After certain procedures such as capturing, photograph integrating, computational reconstructing and filtering, etc., we obtain reconstructed longitudinal layered surface images of the object with higher signal-to-noise ratio. The results of experiments show that the proposed method is feasible. It is a promising method to be used in fields such as remote sensing, machine vision, etc.
