Effect of rare-earth doping on the electrical and photoelectrical properties of furazano [ 3,4-b] piperazine (FP) thin-film devices

Schottky diodes of rare-earth, praseodymium (Pr)-doped and samarium (Sm)-doped furazano [3,4-b] piperazine (FP), sandwiched between Al and indium-tin oxide (ITO) were made by a spin-coating technique. The diodes, in which doped FP behaves as a p-type organic semiconductor, exhibit rectification behaviour. The p-type semiconductivity and rectification properties of the devices improve with rare-earth doping. The electrical effects observed in these devices are explained in terms of the p-type semiconducting behaviour of the doped FP thin films and the formation of a blocking contact (Schottky barrier) with the Al electrode and ohmic contact with the ITO electrode. Various electrical parameters such as carrier mobility, position of Fermi level, free carrier concentration, trap density, trap level and conductivity of doped FP are calculated and discussed. It is found that the position of the Fermi level shifts toward the valence band on rare-earth doping; concentration of free carriers and carrier mobility increase on doping. From the capacitance-voltage (C-V measurements, various electrical parameters such as barrier height, density of ionized acceptor atoms and depletion layer width are calculated and discussed. From the action spectra and absorption spectra it is confirmed that the Al-doped FP interface forms a Schottky barrier and the ITO-doped FP interface shows ohmic contact. The photovoltaic measurement on the two devices reveals that the short circuit current, open circuit voltage, fill factor and power conversion efficiency increase on rare-earth doping.

Preparation and characterization of organic-inorganic poly(ethylene glycol)/WS2 nanocomposite

Layered nanocomposite PEG/WS₂, intercalating oligomeric poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG6000) into the tungsten disulfide host galleries, was synthesized using the exfoliation-adsorption technique. X-ray diffraction revealed that the intercalated oligomer within the host galleries is in a double-layer arrangement with an interlayer expansion of about 8.8 Å. The optimum conditions were explored to prepare the single-phase product with a composition of Li_0.12(PEG)_1.51WS₂. Thermal analyses suggested that the resulting material shows good thermal stability, with the decomposition of the interacted oligomeric chains within the disulfide galleries occurring at around 258 °C. Despite high conductivity of the host material, those of the PEG/WS₂ nanocomposite were found to be high in the order of 1 × 10⁻² S cm⁻¹ at ambient temperature, resulted from the host guest-host charge transfers.     

柴达木盆地天然气中稀有气体同位素特征

为了确定柴达木盆地勘探新层系，测试并分析了该盆地5个油气田的8个天然气样品的氦、氩同位素比值，探讨了其在大地构造背景、大地热流和气源方面的示踪意义。研究结果如下：①柴达木盆地8个天然气样品³He/⁴He值分布在2.0×10^-8～5.48×10^-8的范围，总体平均为3.7×10^-8，均在10^-8量级，体现了典型的壳源成因氦同位素的特征。②据³He/⁴He计算的大地热流值较低，分布于41.2~48.2 mW/m²之间，平均44.9 mW/m²，低于东部地区大地热流平均值73 mW/m²，表明该盆地具有较稳定的构造背景。③根据天然气⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar的年代积累效应，结合烃源岩分布特征推测，柴达木盆地东部凹陷区伊克雅乌汝构造伊深1井天然气应源于上第三系；西部坳陷区尕斯油田尕斯8-6井和尕斯475井天然气应源于下第三系；碱山构造碱1井天然气应源于侏罗系，碱山构造碱2井的天然气应源于上第三系；北缘块断带南八仙油气田仙试1井的天然气应源于侏罗系；南八仙油气田仙试8井和马北构造马北1井的天然气可能主要源于侏罗系。     

Internal quality and antioxidants content of cold-stored red sweet peppers as affected by polyethylene bag packaging and hot water treatment

Physical (weight, firmness) and compositional (sugars, organic acids, ascorbic acid, phenolic compounds and carotenoids) changes of red sweet peppers (Capsicum annuum L.) were monitored during 21 days of cold storage (at 7.5 °C); fruits were stored without packaging, packaged in low density polyethylene bags, or after hot water dipping (53 °C for 4 min) and packaging. Packaging prevented water loss, and preserved the firmness of the fresh product. Sugars (fructose and glucose) content was practically constant throughout the whole storage time, for all treatments. A moderate accumulation of citric acid was observed during storage, but no marked effects of packaging and hot water dipping on citric and malic acid content. Ascorbic acid content slightly increased in unpackaged and packaged fruits, but not in treated+packaged peppers. Hydroxycinnamics total content seemed not to be affected by cold storage, packaging or hot water treatment, whereas glycosylated flavonoids showed somewhat lowered levels during storage, particularly in the case of unpackaged and packaged+treated fruits. Regarding carotenoids content, the effect of the considered storage conditions seemed to be much smaller than that due to ripening stage. Provitamin A content showed an increasing trend in unpackaged and packaged fruits; packaged+treated peppers were characterised by a lower retention of provitamin A and a higher level of capsanthin and cucurbitaxanthin A with respect to not treated fruits. On the whole, packaging and hot water treatment did not produce noticeable adverse effects on the majority of the examined compositional quality parameters.     

Shape-Controlled Synthesis and Upconversion Luminescence of Y2O3:Yb, Er Microstructures

The Y2O3: Yb3 , Er3 microstructures were fabricated by a hydrothermal method without surfactants.The microstructures structure was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM,KYKY 1000B).The up-conversion luminescence spectra were studied under 978 nm laser diode excitation.In Yb3 and Er3 codoped Y2 O3 microcrystals, the relative intensity of green emission became stronger as the morphology of sample changed from wires to films.
