Highly (1 0 0)-oriented Pb(Zr0.20Ti0.80)O3/(Pb1−xLax)Ti1−x/4O3 multilayered thin films prepared by RF magnetron sputtering

The Pb(Zr_0.20Ti_0.80)O₃/(Pb_1−xLa_x)Ti_1−x/4O₃ (x = 0, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20) (PZT/PLT_x) multilayered thin films were in situ deposited on the Pt(1 1 1)/Ti/SiO₂/Si(1 0 0) substrates by RF magnetron sputtering technique with a PbO_x buffer layer. With this method, all PZT/PLT_x multilayered thin films possess highly (1 0 0) orientation. The PbO_x buffer layer leads to the (1 0 0) orientation of the multilayered thin films. The effect of the La content in PLT_x layers on the dielectric and ferroelectric properties of the PZT multilayered thin films was systematically investigated. The enhanced dielectric and ferroelectric properties are observed in the PZT/PLT_x (x = 0.15) multilayered thin films. The dielectric constant reaches maximum value of 365 at 1 KHz for x = 0.15 with a low loss tangent of 0.0301. Along with enhanced dielectric properties, the multilayered thin films also exhibit large remnant polarization value of 2P_r = 76.5 μC/cm², and low coercive field of 2E_c = 238 KV/cm.     

A low-voltage switched-current delta-sigma modulator

This paper presents the design of a fully differential switched-current delta-sigma modulator using a single 3.3-V power-supply voltage. At system level, we tailor the modulator structure considering the similarity and difference of switched-capacitor and switched-current realizations. At circuit level, we propose a new switched-current memory cell and integrator with improved common mode feedback, without which low power-supply-voltage operation would not be possible. The whole modulator was implemented in a 0.8-μm double-metal digital CMOS process. It occupies an active area of 0.53×0.48 mm² and consumes a current of 0.6 mA from a single 3.3-V power supply. The measured dynamic range is over 10 b     

高速公路加油站的经营风险及对策

高速公路加油站具有车流量大、加油量大、资金流动大等特点，经营风险大于其他一些加油站，其主要表现形式有跑单（加油不付款）、加油枪脱落、撞坏加油机、撞车和遭到抢劫等。针对这些经营风险应采取尽量让加油员收取货款，在同一时间只守一支加油枪，加强对加油车辆的引导和加大保安力度，安装摄像头和自动报警器等措施。     

Donor–acceptor copolymers based on benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene and pyrene-fused phenazine for high-performance polymer solar cells

Two novel donor–acceptor (D–A)-type conjugated polymers of PTTPPz-BDT and PTTPPz-BDTT were successfully synthesized by Stille coupling polymerization, in which 7,8-dialkoxy benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene (BDT) and 7,8-bithienyl benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene (BDTT) were used as donor units, thiophene and pyrene-fused phenazine (PPz) were employed as π-bridges and acceptor units, respectively. High carrier mobilities, broad absorption spectra, narrow optical band gaps, and low HOMO energy levels were observed for both polymers. Furthermore, high-efficiency photovoltaic performance with power conversion efficiency (PCE) over 4.25% was exhibited in their polymer solar cells (PSCs) using [6,6]-phenyl-C₇₁-butyric-acid-methyl-ester (PC₇₁BM) as acceptor. The maximum PCE of 4.86% with short-circuit current density of 11.10 mA cm⁻² and fill factor of 62.5% was obtained in the PTTPPz-BDTT based cell. These results indicate that incorporating large planar PPz moiety into D–A-type copolymer is an efficient approach to improve photovoltaic performance for PSCs.     

Novel polycrystalline silicon thin film transistors prepared by deposition from Si2H6 and subsequent annealing by NH3 plasma

This work investigated the channel layer of polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin film transistors (TFTs) prepared by amorphous silicon (a-Si) films deposited using Si₂H₆ gas. The recrystallization of channel layers, source/drain, gate electrodes and post implant anneal were performed at the same time. Due to the larger grain size, the device has higher field effect mobility than SiH₄ deposited devices. These devices were also subsequently passivated by NH₃ plasma. The NH₃ plasma significantly improves the n-channel devices; however, the improvement of p-channel devices is limited. Especially, the threshold voltage of n-channel devices is significantly shifted toward the negative gate voltage than the shift magnitude of p-channel devices. To investigate the band gap width and Fermi level by determining the leakage activation energy, it is found that the channel film is changed slightly from p-type to n-type. These results may be attributed to the donor effect by NH₃ plasma passivation.

Combustion and emission characteristics of a two-stroke diesel engine operating on alcohol

Though, as a renewable energy resource, alcohol fuel has many advantages in China, it is difficult for diesel engines to operate on alcohol due to its low cetane number and high latent heat of vaporization. This paper proposes an approach to its ignition problem by combining internal exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) with injection of small diesel fuel. Based on this approach, a two-stroke single-cylinder diesel engine was developed. Preliminary studies demonstrated that the engine can run on alcohol with almost zero level of smoke and low exhaust gas temperature, and that the engine operating on alcohol has lower nitrogen oxide (NO_x) emissions and 2–3% higher effective thermal efficiency than that operating on diesel fuel in moderate and high load zones.

Sol-gel processed silica/titania/ÿ-Glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane composite materials for photonic applications

Silica/titania/?-Glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane composite materials processed by the sol-gel technique were studied for photonic applications. Waveguide thin films with thickness more than 1.7 μm were prepared by the sol-gel spin coating technique and low temperature heat treatment from this high titanium content composite materials. The films were analyzed by atomic force microscopy (AFM), ellipsometry, differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-VIS), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. It was observed that the film becomes thinner as the titanium contents increase. A change of the refractive index through the range 1.52–1.61 at the optical wavelength of 633 nm was achieved by varying the molar ratio between silica and titanium. A dense, low absorption, and high transparency in the visible range waveguide films could be obtained at a low temperature. It was also noted that organic compounds in the film would decompose in the temperature range from 200°C to 480°C. Accordingly, purely inorganic silica-titania films with a thickness of about 0.7 μm could also be obtained by a single-coating process, when the film was baked at a temperature of 500°C or higher. The waveguides properties and photonic applications of the composite material solgel films were also investigated.
