Josephson Plasmon Resonance in Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 High-Temperature Superconductor Tunable Terahertz Metamaterials

The Josephson plasmon resonance (JPR) offers a valuable probe to investigate the superconductivity in layered cuprate superconductors. However, the coupling between free space radiation and JPR in high-temperature superconductor (HTS) film remains challenging because the excitation of JPR demands the c-axis oriented electric field. The subwavelength resonators in metamaterials can enhance the localized electric field, which can be utilized to resolve this difficulty. Here, a tunable terahertz (THz) metamaterial made from Tl₂Ba₂CaCu₂O₈ (Tl-2212) HTS film is developed. The spectral response of Tl-2212 metamaterial has a tunable property at temperatures up to 90 K. The resonant excitation of Josephson plasmon in the metamaterial is observed. Simulation results indicate that the scattering of subwavelength resonators can provide the component of the z-axis electric field for the resonant excitation. The coupling between JPR and resonance modes of metamaterials is observed and explained using coupled mode theory. The temperature dependence of JPR frequency shows accordance with the experimental results of the pure film. This work provides an avenue to excite the JPR and probe superconducting condensate in the layered superconductor. The development of Josephson plasmonic metamaterials may contribute to tunable and nonlinear THz devices.     

Interfacial engineering of printable bottom back metal electrodes for full-solution processed flexible organic solar cells

Printing of metal bottom back electrodes of flexible organic solar cells (FOSCs) at low temperature is of great significance to realize the full-solution fabrication technology.However,this has been difficult to achieve because often the interfacial properties of those printed electrodes,including conductivity,roughness,work function,optical and mechanical flexibility,cannot meet the device requirement at the same time.In this work,we fabricate printed Ag and Cu bottom back cathodes by a low-temperature solution technique named polymer-assisted metal deposition (PAMD) on flexible PET substrates.Branched polyethylenimine (PEI) and ZnO thin films are used as the interface modification layers (IMLs) of these cathodes.Detailed experimental studies on the electrical,mechanical,and morphological properties,and simulation study on the optical properties of these IMLs are carried out to understand and optimize the interface of printed cathodes.We demonstrate that the highest power conversion efficiency over 3.0％ can be achieved from a full-solution processed OFSC with the device structure being PAMDAg/PEI/P3HT:PC61BM/PH1000.This device also acquires remarkable stability upon repeating bending tests.

An Investigation of Negative Differential Resistance and Novel Collector–Current Kink Effects in SiGe HBTs Operating at Cryogenic Temperatures

In this paper, a new negative-differential-resistance (NDR) effect and a novel collector-current kink effect are investigated in the cryogenically operated SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs). Theory based on an enhanced positive-feedback mechanism associated with heterojunction barrier effect at deep cryogenic temperatures is proposed to explain both the observed NDR and the collector-current kink. The accumulated charge induced by the barrier effect acts at low temperatures to enhance the total collector-current, indirectly producing both phenomena. This theory is confirmed using the calibrated 2-D DESSIS simulations over temperature. These unique cryogenic effects also have significant impact on the ac performance of SiGe HBTs operating at high injection. Technology evolution plays an important role in determining the magnitude of the observed phenomena, and the scaling implications are addressed. In addition, the present NDR effect is also compared with previously reported NDR and hysteresis effects observed in highly scaled SiGe HBTs operating under forced-I_B-base bias. The input drive condition of the transistor during its use in circuits, either under pure forced-current bias or under pure forced-voltage bias, or more practically, somewhere in between, determines the magnitude of the observed NDR and is of potential concern for circuit designers and must be carefully modeled

Identification of reduced-order thermal therapy models using thermal MR images: theory and validation

In this paper, we develop and validate a method to identify computationally efficient site- and patient-specific models of ultrasound thermal therapies from MR thermal images. The models of the specific absorption rate of the transduced energy and the temperature response of the therapy target are identified in the reduced basis of proper orthogonal decomposition of thermal images, acquired in response to a mild thermal test excitation. The method permits dynamic reidentification of the treatment models during the therapy by recursively utilizing newly acquired images. Such adaptation is particularly important during high-temperature therapies, which are known to substantially and rapidly change tissue properties and blood perfusion. The developed theory was validated for the case of focused ultrasound heating of a tissue phantom. The experimental and computational results indicate that the developed approach produces accurate low-dimensional treatment models despite temporal and spatial noises in MR images and slow image acquisition rate.
