UV Photodetectors Based on BiOCl Nanosheet Arrays: The Effects of Morphologies and Electrode Configurations

A facile chemical bath method is adopted to grow bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) nanosheet arrays on a piece of Cu foil (denoted as BiOCl‐Cu) and isolated BiOCl nanosheets are collected by ultrasonication. A self‐supporting BiOCl film is obtained by the removal of Cu foil. Photodetectors (PDs) based on these BiOCl materials are assembled and the effects of morphologies and electrode configurations on the photoelectric performance of these PDs are examined. The BiOCl nanosheet PD achieves high responsivities in the spectral range from 250 to 350 nm, while it presents quite a small photocurrent and slow response speed. The BiOCl film PD yields low photocurrents and near‐unity on–off ratios, demonstrating poor photoelectric performance. The photocurrent of the BiOCl‐Cu PD with both electrodes on the BiOCl film is much higher than those of these above‐mentioned PDs, and the response times are fast. Meanwhile, the BiOCl‐Cu PD with separate electrodes on the BiOCl film and Cu foil achieves even higher photocurrents and presents a self‐powering characteristic, depicting the improved photodetecting performances induced by the specific morphology and distinct electrode configuration. These results would promote the applications of BiOCl nanostructures in the photoelectric devices.     

Relationship between fracture parameters from two parameter fracture model and from size effect model

This paper studies the relationship between the two parameter fracture model and the size effect model. An equivalency between two models is first established based on infinitely large size specimens. Based on this equivalency, relationships between material fracture parameters (K _Ic ^s , CTOD_c) and (G _f, c_f) are derived. Using these relationships, values of (K _Ic ^s , CTOD_c) and (G _f, c_f) can be predicted from each other. It is found that the relationship betweenCTOD _c andc _f theoretically depends on both specimen geometry and initial crack length. However this dependency is numerically insignificant, except for tensile plate with a short center notch. The obtained results may explain why both the two parameter fracture model and the size effect model can reasonably predict fracture behavior of quasi-brittle materials.     

Dynamic mix zone: location data sanitizing in assisted environments

Pervasive technology has been widely used in assistive environments and aware homes. The issue of how to preserve the privacy of patients being monitored has been attracting more public concerns. In assistive environments, location data of patients are collected through sensors for behavior patterns analysis, and they can also be shared among researchers for further research for early disease diagnosis. However, location information, even though de-identified, also introduces the risk of privacy leakage. A series of consecutive location samples can be considered as a trajectory of a single person, and this may leak private information if obtained by malicious users. This paper discusses this problem and proposes a location randomization algorithm to protect users’ location privacy. Two privacy metrics according to location privacy are defined and used to evaluate the proposed approach. A method using dynamic mix zones is proposed to confound trajectories of two or more persons.

Diverse community: Demand differentiation in P2P live streaming

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technology has become an attractive approach for enabling large-scale video streaming applications, but the factor of users’ subjective preferences is not paid enough attention in such networks. As users have various demand on video qualities, we can provide them with video streams at different resolutions without impairing their satisfaction. The adaptive streaming rate technique is a promising method. However, in providing adaptive streaming rate services, P2P live streaming design faces the following challenge: how to provide all users with uninterrupted video with their desired qualities in case that their demand dynamically changes? To shed more light on this problem, we first derive a model and formulate the problem as a resource demand vs supply problem. Then we present a framework to address the challenge via efficient bandwidth allocation and group cooperation. Through comprehensive simulations, we evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed framework, and conclude that it effectively helps existing solutions, such as Partial Participation Scheme (PPS), achieve better performance.

气相反应产物中固相沉积始现的反应温度点计算

许多气相反应不希望出现固相产品,如燃烧过程不希望有积碳。本文研究气相反应产物在什么条件下出现固体。根据Gibbs自由能最小等热力学原理,提出1种将化学反应平衡和固体饱和蒸汽压数据相结合,求气相反应产物中固相沉积始现的反应温度点的计算方法。举出氯硅烷氢化等7个体系的算例。结果表明:本法与传统的Gibbs自由能最小法结果相同;在同样的进料条件下,每个体系均存在1个固相沉积的温度范围。本文确定的这种温度范围对探讨气体反应的固相沉积现象具有很好的指导意义,所选算例得出:SiHCl_3氢化等4个体系有2个沉积温度点(TD_1,TD_2),即这些平衡体系有2个沉积的温度转折点,如果不希望有沉积,就必须使进料温度小于TD_1或者大于TD_2;而CH_4部分氧化等3个体系只有1个沉积温度点TD,此类平衡体系如果不希望有沉积,进料温度就应大于TD。
