Diamond growth by carbon ion implantation of diamond

Medium energy (5–25 keV) ¹³C⁺ ion implantation into diamond (100) to a fluence ranging from 10¹⁶ cm⁻² to 10¹⁸ cm⁻² was performed for the study of diamond growth via the approach of ion beam implantation. The samples were characterized with Rutherford backscattering/channelling spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoemission spectroscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy. Extended defects are formed in the cascade collision volume during bombardment at high temperatures. Carbon incorporation indeed induces a volume growth but the diamond (100) samples receiving a fluence of 4 × 10¹⁷ to 2 × 10¹⁸ at. cm⁻² (with a dose rate of 5 × 10¹⁵ at. cm⁻² s⁻¹ at 5 to 25 keV and 800 °C) showed no He-ion channelling. Common to these samples is that the top surface layer of a few nanometers has a substantial amount of graphite which can be removed by chemical etching. The rest of the grown layer is polycrystalline diamond with a very high density of extended defects.     

Propylene epoxidation in a microreactor with electric heating

Gas phase propylene epoxidation on gold catalysts has attracted wide attention from industry and academia due to its high selectivity. However, it suffers from low propylene conversion and rapid catalyst deactivation. Experiments showed that propylene conversion could be increased by raising H₂, O₂, or C₃H₆ concentration in the feed, but the feed compositions were within the explosion limit. It was also shown that the activity of the used catalyst could be fully recovered, but the regeneration temperature was 280 °C, much higher than that for reaction. Therefore a microchannel reactor was devised to suppress explosion and was constructed with Fecralloy, to raise the temperature rapidly for catalyst regeneration by electric heating. In two minutes the temperature of the reactor could be raised from 50 to 300 °C. Catalysts were coated on the alloy belt by dip coating, and the performance of the reactor was evaluated under different operating conditions. Results showed that in the microreactor the overall reaction rate was controlled mainly by the intrinsic reaction rate, and also influenced by film diffusion to a certain extent. The deactivated catalyst was regenerated in the microchannel reactor and the activity was fully recovered.     

四电极电化学MEMS加速度传感器仿真

Communicating Is Crowdsourcing: Wi-Fi Indoor Localization with CSI-Based Speed Estimation

Numerous indoor localization techniques have been proposed recently to meet the intensive demand for location-based service (LBS). Among them, the most popular solutions are the Wi-Fi fingerprint-based approaches. The core challenge is to lower the cost of fingerprint site-survey. One of the trends is to collect the piecewise data from clients and establish the radio map in crowdsourcing manner. However the low participation rate blocks the practical use. In this work, we propose a passive crowdsourcing channel state information (CSI) based indoor localization scheme, C²IL. Despite a crowdsourcing based approach, our scheme is totally transparent to the client and the only requirement is to connect to our 802.11n access points (APs). C²IL is built upon an innovative method to accurately estimate the moving speed solely based on 802.11n CSI. Knowing the walking speed of a client and its surrounding APs, a graph matching algorithm is employed to extract the received signal strength (RSS) fingerprints and establish the fingerprint map. For localization phase, we design a trajectory clustering based localization algorithm to provide precise real-time indoor localization and tracking. We develop and deploy a practical working system of C²IL in a large office environment. Extensive evaluations indicate that the error of speed estimation is within 3%, and the localization error is within 2 m at 80% time in a very complex indoor environment.     

Synthesis, morphology and photophysics of novel hybrid organic-inorganic polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane-tethered poly(fluorenyleneethynylene)s

A series of novel hybrid organic-inorganic light-emitting materials, polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane-tethered poly(fluorenyleneethynylene)s, were successfully synthesized via Sonagashira coupling reaction. The chemical structures of these copolymers were determined by ¹H NMR and FT-IR spectra. The morphologies of these copolymers were studied in details using TEM and WAXD. The WAXD data showed that POSS formed aggregation instead of crystallization in the polymer matrix, indicating the significant effect of the backbone constraint on POSS crystallization. Furthermore, it also revealed that the interchain interaction weakened and the interchain distance increased after introducing POSS groups. The TEM data indicated that POSS aggregates were well dispersed in polymer matrix. In accordance with the morphological investigation, the results of UV-vis absorption and photoluminescence emission spectra of these copolymers showed that the tendency toward planar conformation of conjugated backbones reduced to a certain extent due to weakened interchain interaction. Accordingly, these copolymers exhibited the enhanced quantum yields in the solid state. In addition, owing to the thermal and oxygen stability of hybrid POSS, the thermal spectral stability of these polymers was also improved greatly.
