Sub‐Millimeter‐Scale Monolayer p‐Type H‐Phase VS2

2D H‐phase vanadium disulfide (VS₂) is expected to exhibit tunable semiconductor properties as compared with its metallic T‐phase structure, and thus is of promise for future electronic applications. However, to date such 2D H‐phase VS₂ nanostructures have not been realized in experiment likely due to the polymorphs of vanadium sulfides and thermodynamic instability of H‐phase VS₂. Preparation of H‐phase VS₂ monolayer with lateral size up to 250 µm, as a new member in the 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) family, is reported. A unique growth environment is built by introducing the molten salt‐mediated precursor system as well as the epitaxial mica growth platform, which successfully overcomes the aforementioned growth challenges and enables the evolution of 2D H‐phase structure of VS₂. The honeycomb‐like structure of H‐phase VS₂ with broken inversion symmetry is confirmed by spherical aberration‐corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy and second harmonic generation characterization. The phase structure is found to be ultra‐stable up to 500 K. The field‐effect device study further demonstrates the p‐type semiconducting nature of the 2D H‐phase VS₂. The study introduces a new phase‐stable 2D TMDs materials with potential features for future electronic devices.     

A call admission and rate control scheme for multimedia support over IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs

Quality of service (QoS) support for multimedia services in the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN is an important issue for such WLANs to become a viable wireless access to the Internet. In this paper, we endeavor to propose a practical scheme to achieve this goal without changing the channel access mechanism. To this end, a novel call admission and rate control (CARC) scheme is proposed. The key idea of this scheme is to regulate the arriving traffic of the WLAN such that the network can work at an optimal point. We first show that the channel busyness ratio is a good indicator of the network status in the sense that it is easy to obtain and can accurately and timely represent channel utilization. Then we propose two algorithms based on the channel busyness ratio. The call admission control algorithm is used to regulate the admission of real-time or streaming traffic and the rate control algorithm to control the transmission rate of best effort traffic. As a result, the real-time or streaming traffic is supported with statistical QoS guarantees and the best effort traffic can fully utilize the residual channel capacity left by the real-time and streaming traffic. In addition, the rate control algorithm itself provides a solution that could be used above the media access mechanism to approach the maximal theoretical channel utilization. A comprehensive simulation study in ns-2 has verified the performance of our proposed CARC scheme, showing that the original 802.11 DCF protocol can statically support strict QoS requirements, such as those required by voice over IP or streaming video, and at the same time, achieve a high channel utilization.

Template Deformation‐Tailored ZnO Nanorod/Nanowire Arrays: Full Growth Control and Optimization of Field‐Emission

Here, a facile and effective route toward full control of vertical ZnO nanorod (NR)/nanowire (NW) arrays in centimeter‐scale areas and considerable improvement of field‐emission (FE) performance is reported. Controlled deformation of colloidal crystal monolayer templates is introduced by heating near glass‐transition temperature. The NR/NW density, uniformity, and tapering were all adjusted through selection of template size and deformation, and electrolyte composition. In line with the adjustments, the field‐emission performance of the arrays is significantly improved. A low turn‐on electric field of 1.8 V µm^?1, a field‐enhancement factor of up to 5 750, and an emitting current density of up to 2.5 mA cm^?2 were obtained. These improved parameters would benefit their potential application in cold‐cathode‐based electronics.

Nanoparticles of the Lead-free Solder Alloy Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu with Large Melting Temperature Depression

Due to the toxicity of lead (Pb), Pb-containing solder alloys are being phased out from the electronics industry. This has lead to the development and implementation of lead-free solders. Being an environmentally compatible material, the lead-free Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu (wt.%) solder alloy is considered to be one of the most promising alternatives to replace the traditionally used Sn-Pb solders. This alloy composition possesses, however, some weaknesses, mainly as a result of its higher melting temperature compared with the Sn-Pb solders. A possible way to decrease the melting temperature of a solder alloy is to decrease the alloy particle size down to the nanometer range. The melting temperature of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu lead-free solder alloy, both as bulk and nanoparticles, was investigated. The nanoparticles were manufactured using the self-developed consumable-electrode direct current arc (CDCA) technique. The melting temperature of the nanoparticles, with an average size of 30 nm, was found to be 213.9°C, which is approximately 10°C lower than that of the bulk alloy. The developed CDCA technique is therefore a promising method to manufacture nanometer-sized solder alloy particles with lower melting temperature compared with the bulk alloy.     

Biodegradation characteristics of heavy oil and correlation with group composition and carbon isotopes

Shallow heavy oil is abundant but seriously biodegraded in Chepaizi Uplift and many biomarkers cannot be used effectively. Therefore, some new parameters and methods are used to analyze the biodegradation extent, classification, and oil–source of heavy oil samples. The acid value and group compositions are used to evaluate the biodegradation extent. Carbon isotopes are not only used to calculate the percentage of complex combined oil, but also to correlate oil–source in Chepaizi Uplift. δ¹³C of oil is used together with biomarkers that can bear serious degradation, such as pregnanes, tricyclic terpanes, and gammacerane. The crossplots of δ¹³C and biomarkers are effective correlation tools, such as the crossplot of δ¹³C and C₂₁/C₂₃ tricyclic terpanes. δ¹³C in different group compositions also show excellent oil–source correlation results. These methods to study biodegraded heavy oil are not only helpful to clarify the biodegradation extent of shallow heavy oil in an extensive area, but also effective to classify heavy oil and correlate oil–source.
