Self‐Assembled In‐Plane Growth of Mg2SiO4 Nanowires on Si Substrates Catalyzed by Au Nanoparticles

In‐plane growth of Mg₂SiO₄ nanowires on Si substrates is achieved by using a vapor transport method with Au nanoparticles as catalyst. The self‐assembly of the as‐grown nanowires shows dependence on the substrate orientation, i.e., they are along one, two, and three particular directions on Si (110), (100), and (111) substrates, respectively. Detailed electron microscopy studies suggest that the Si substrates participate in the formation of Mg₂SiO₄, and the epitaxial growth of the nanowires is confined along the Si <110> directions. This synthesis route is quite reliable, and the dimensions of the Mg₂SiO₄ nanowires can be well controlled by the experiment parameters. Furthermore, using these nanowires, a lithography‐free method is demonstrated to fabricate nanowalls on Si substrates by controlled chemical etching. The Au nanoparticle catalyzed in‐plane epitaxial growth of the Mg₂SiO₄ nanowires hinges on the intimate interactions between substrates, nanoparticles, and nanowires, and our study may help to advance the developments of novel nanomaterials and functional nanodevices.     

Ripplet: A new transform for image processing

Efficient representation of images usually leads to improvements in storage efficiency, computational complexity and performance of image processing algorithms. Efficient representation of images can be achieved by transforms. However, conventional transforms such as Fourier transform and wavelet transform suffer from discontinuities such as edges in images. To address this problem, we propose a new transform called ripplet transform. The ripplet transform is a higher dimensional generalization of the curvelet transform, designed to represent images or two-dimensional signals at different scales and different directions. Specifically, the ripplet transform allows arbitrary support c and degree d while the curvelet transform is just a special case of the ripplet transform (Type I) with c = 1 and d = 2. Our experimental results demonstrate that the ripplet transform can provide efficient representation of edges in images. The ripplet transform holds great potential for image processing such as image restoration, image denoising and image compression.     

A networked mobile sensor test-bed for collaborative multi-target tracking applications

This paper presents the design, architecture, implementation, and experimental results from a networked mobile sensor test-bed developed for collaborative sensor tracking applications. The test-bed comprises a fleet of networked mobile sensors, an indoor localization system, a control, debugging and management infrastructure, and a tiered wireless ad hoc network for seamless integration of the above three components and the existing wireless infrastructure. First, the software and hardware architectural details of a swarm capable autonomous vehicle (SCAV) system for our collaborative applications are presented. Second, the details of an indoor self-localization and Kalman filter based navigation system design for the SCAV platform are presented. Third, as an example multi-sensor application, a collaborative multi-target tracking problem and a heuristics-based networked solution are formulated. Finally, the performance of the collaborative tracking framework is evaluated on the laboratory test-bed for characterizing the impacts of localization and navigation errors on the distributed tracking performance. The experimental study also characterizes the tradeoff between the tracking performance and the consumed wireless bandwidth. The experimental results demonstrate a number of counterintuitive results due to various errors in sensor localization and navigation.

New wide-bandgap organic donor and its application in UVB sensors with high responsivity

A triarylamine-containing fluorene derivative (FP) with wide bandgap and excellent thermal stability was synthesized and used as electron donor to construct planar heterojunction organic ultraviolet sensor (UVS), while bis(4-(4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazine-2-yl)phenyl)diphenylsilane (NSN) was used as electron acceptor. The UVS ITO/PEDOT:PSS/FP/NSN/LiF/Al showed sensitive visible-blind response to UV illumination from both ITO and cathode sides. When no bias applied, the peak responsivity to UV light through ITO and cathode side was 47 and 33 mA/W, respectively. To the irradiation from the semitransparent Al side, the most sensitive response range covers the UVB region. Under a bias of ?4 V, the peak responsivity at 300 nm reaches 473 mA/W.     

Non-doped active layer,benzo[k]fluoranthene-based linear acenes,for deep blue- to green-emissive organic light-emitting diodes

This work studies a series of fluorescent materials, benzo[k]fluoranthene-based linear acenes, and uses these materials directly as the non-doped active layer to fabricate deep blue- to green-emissive organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Experimental results indicate that benzo[k]fluoranthene-based linear acenes with different substituents in pristine films have a wide range and strong intensity of the luminescence spectra. The substituents of benzo[k]fluoranthene derivatives modulate the lifetime of the excited state and PL spectra of excitonic, excimer or both emissions in the solid state. Controls of emission spectra are exploited in fabricating high-performance non-doped deep blue to green OLEDs with electroluminescence in the deep blue region (420–460 nm), green region (480–580 nm) or both (430–580 nm).     

A cascade energy band structure enhances the carrier energy in organic vertical-type triodes

Organic vertical-type triodes (OVTs) based on the cascade energy band structure as emitter layer are studied. The electric characteristics were dramatically enhanced while incorporating the cascade energy under current driving and voltage driving modes. The improvement is attributed to that injection carriers can obtain higher energy through a stepwise energy level. When the device has a layered structure of F₁₆CuPC (10 nm)/PTCDI (10 nm)/pentacene (100 nm) in emitter, it exhibits a common-base transport factor of 0.99 and a common-emitter current gain of 225 under current driving mode and exhibits a high current modulation-exceeding ?520 μA for a low collector voltage of ?5 V and a base voltage of ?5 V and the current on/off ratio of 10³ under voltage driving mode. Furthermore, we realized first organic current mirror that exhibited out/in current ratio of 0.75 and output resistance of 10⁵ Ω by using the OVTs.

The problem of exponential l ₂–l _∞ control is considered in this paper for a class of discrete-time switching Markov jump linear systems.

Then, by resorting to the average dwell time approach, the mean square exponential stability criteria are presented with an exponential l ₂–l _∞ performance index and a decay rate, and the corresponding controller is also designed. Finally, numerical and application examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.
