First-principles study of electronic and elastic properties of Stone–Wales defective zigzag carbon nanotubes

The interaction and coupling between the electrical, mechanical properties and formation energy for SW defective (10,0) carbon nanotube is studied in density functional theory. The investigated configurations include the axial and circumferential orientations for single defect as well as four distribution types for double ones. The more stable defective configurations, namely, SW-I configurations for single SW defective carbon nanotube and II–II-(2) and I–I ones for double SW defective tubes are related to high symmetry distribution of the defects. Moreover, we found that the σ^?–π^* hybridization induced by curvature effect causes the semiconductor to metal transition for double axial SW defects case. Young's modulus reduction of SW defective carbon nanotube with respect to defect-free one is less than 8%. The energy bands and Young's moduli of double SW defective tubes are mostly affected by the defect distribution and concentration but insensitive to the circumferential distance between the double defects.     

Thickness and local field effects on energy transfer rate in coupled quantum wells system: Linear regime

We investigate theoretically the dependence of energy transfer rate in Double-Quantum-Well system on the well thickness by using the balance equation formalism. Also, by including the local field correction in our calculations through the zero- and finite-temperature Hubbard approximations, we study the effect of the short-range interactions on the energy transfer phenomenon. Calculations consider both the static and dynamic screening approximations. Our numerical results predict that the energy transfer rate increases considerably by increasing the layers' thicknesses and by taking into account the short-range interactions, as well.     

The modelling of an electromagnetic energy harvesting architecture

In this paper a detailed mathematical model for an electromagnetic energy harvesting architecture based on a semi-analytical approach is introduced. This model estimates the generated energy of the architecture by computing the static and dynamic magnetic and electric fields that describe its dynamics. A comparison of the static fields with the results of a Finite Element Analysis simulation in COMSOL Multiphysics shows good agreement. The model also features increased accuracy and numerical stability. In the model the semi-analytical solutions for the electromagnetic damping force exerted by the induced current coil and the induced electromotive force on the coil provide additional insight into the interactions of electromagnetic induction and damping. Additionally, the energy estimation could be used as a figure of merit in an maximization process to identify the optimal dimensions of the energy harvester.

Comparison of Lu3Al5O12:Pr and Bi4Ge3O12 scintillators for gamma-ray detection

The scintillation properties of Lu₃Al₅O₁₂:Pr³⁺ (LuAG:Pr) single crystal grown by the Czochralski method with praseodymium concentration of 0.19 mol% were investigated. For a comparison, a good quality Bi₄Ge₃O₁₂ (BGO) single crystal grown by Bridgman method was also studied. The light yield and energy resolution were measured using photomultiplier tube (XP5200B PMT) readout. Moderate light yield of 15,900 photons per MeV was measured for the LuAG:Pr(0.19%) crystal. For 662 keV gamma rays (¹³⁷Cs source), an energy resolution of 6.5% obtained for LuAG:Pr(0.19%) is much better than that of 9.0% obtained for BGO. The light yield non-proportionality and energy resolution versus energy of gamma rays were measured and the intrinsic resolution of the crystals was determined after correcting the measured energy resolution for PMT statistics. The LuAG:Pr(0.19%) showed a good proportionality of the light yield within 5% over the energy range from 1274.5 keV down to 32 keV, which is much better than that of 14% for BGO. The photofraction was determined at 320 and 662 keV for both crystals and compared with the ratio of the cross-sections for the photoelectric effect to the total one calculated using WinXCOM program.     

Enhanced luminescence of Tb by efficient energy transfer from Ce in Sr2B5O9Cl host

Ce³⁺ and Tb³⁺ co-doped Sr₂B₅O₉Cl phosphors with intense green emission were prepared by the conventional high-temperature solid-state reaction technique. A broad band centered at about 315 nm was found in phosphor Sr₂B₅O₉Cl: Ce³⁺, Tb³⁺ excitation spectrum, which was attributed to the 4f-5d transition of Ce³⁺. The typical sharp line emissions ranging from 450 to 650 nm were originated from the ⁵D₄ → ⁷F_J (J = 6, 5, 4, 3) transitions of Tb³⁺ ions. The photoluminescence (PL) intensity of green emission from Tb³⁺ was enhanced remarkably by co-doping Ce³⁺ in the Tb³⁺ solely doped Sr₂B₅O₉Cl phosphor because of the dipole-dipole mechanism resonant energy transfer from Ce³⁺ to Tb³⁺ ions. The energy transfer process was investigated in detail. In light of the energy transfer principles, the optimal composition of phosphor with the maximum green light output was established to be Sr_1.64Ce_0.08Tb_0.1Li_0.18B₅O₉Cl by the appropriate adjustment of dopant concentrations. The PL intensity of Tb³⁺ in the phosphor was enhanced about 40 times than that of the Tb³⁺ single doped phosphor under the excitation of their optimal excitation wavelengths.
