The 2,7,12,17-tetra-tert-butyl 5,10,15,20-tetraaza-21,23H-porphine (TTBTP) films were prepared using thermal evaporation technique. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) of the powder showed that TTBTP is polycrystalline with a tetragonal system. Also, the analysis of XRD pattern shows that the TTBTP film of thickness 55 nm has a crystallite size of 24.69 nm which tends to increase with the film thickness. By SEM of 177 nm thick TTBTP film, the topography of the surface is characterized by significant spherical granules. The mean diameter was estimated to be 250 nm for the spherical granules. It was observed that the conductivity increases with increasing the film thickness. Also, the TTBTP is a semiconductor film with thermally activated conduction mechanisms. The current–density–voltage (J–V) characteristics showed Ohmic drives in low voltage, whereas the space charge limited conductivity mechanism is familiar in the high voltage region. The carrier mobility values of TTBTP film are relatively the same for other organic molecules. The 50 nm TTBTP film has a carrier mobility of 1.48?×?10??9 cm2 V??1 s??1, which increases with increasing the film thickness.
Due to the intrinsically complex non-equilibrium behavior of the constituents of active matter systems, a comprehensive understanding of their collective properties is a challenge that requires systematic bottom–up characterization of the individual components and their interactions. For self-propelled particles, intrinsic complexity stems from the fact that the polar nature of the colloids necessitates that the interactions depend on positions and orientations of the particles, leading to a 2d − 1 dimensional configuration space for each particle, in d dimensions. Moreover, the interactions between such non-equilibrium colloids are generically non-reciprocal, which makes the characterization even more complex. Therefore, derivation of generic rules that enable us to predict the outcomes of individual encounters as well as the ensuing collective behavior will be an important step forward. While significant advances have been made on the theoretical front, such systematic experimental characterizations using simple artificial systems with measurable parameters are scarce. Here, two different contrasting types of colloidal microswimmers are studied, which move in opposite directions and show distinctly different interactions. To facilitate the extraction of parameters, an experimental platform is introduced in which these parameters are confined on a 1D track. Furthermore, a theoretical model for interparticle interactions near a substrate is developed, including both phoretic and hydrodynamic effects, which reproduces their behavior. For subsequent validation, the degrees of freedom are increased to 2D motion and resulting trajectories are predicted, finding remarkable agreement. These results may prove useful in characterizing the overall alignment behavior of interacting self-propelling active swimmer and may find direct applications in guiding the design of active-matter systems involving phoretic and hydrodynamic interactions. 相似文献

We present, for the first time, the design of a low-cross talk scalable permutation switch employing photonic crystal ring resonators in an optical network. Through this novel approach, the transition between different states of the \(2 \times 2\) optical switch, as the basic element, is achieved by applying different operating wavelengths. Subsequently, the shuffling mechanisms in \(3 \times 3\) and \(4 \times 4\) optical networks are realized by controlling the position of photonics crystal ring resonators. Lowest cross talk levels of 6 and 5% are obtained for “bar” and “cross” switching states, respectively. 相似文献
People worldwide are largely engaged and attached with the web 2.0 technology and Social media platforms. By the same token, businesses start looking at such technologies as effective mechanisms to interact more with their customers. Equally, the related issues of social media marketing have been also the focus of attention for academics and researchers to expand the current understanding about such phenomena over the marketing area. Accordingly, the main aim of this study is to systematically examine and review the current studies that have conducted over the related area of social media and marketing. By reviewing approximately 144 articles, the researchers were able to provide an overview of the main themes and trends covered by the relevant literature such as the role of social media on advertising, the electronic word of mouth, customers’ relationship management, and firms’ brands and performance. In this review, it has also studied the most common research approaches adopted to examine the related issues of social media marketing. Further discussion is also introduced followed by an explanation of the current review limitations and recommended directions to be examined by future studies. 相似文献
The temple of Hatshepsut is considered as a most interesting ancient architectural monument and its stability is of real concern to human civilization. The temple is completely incised into the rock mass of Gebel Gurnah which is composed of Esna shale overlain by highly fracture Thebes limestone. Recently, two rock falls have occurred. A geotechnical characterization of the site around the temple was carried out. The present work aims to evaluate the probability of further limited circular failures in the Esna shale. This evaluation is achieved by using a near circular failure model based on the behaviour of intact rock, in conjunction with the CSIR rock mass classification system which gives the reduced mechanical properties due to the increase in discontinuity sets and weathering of the rock mass of the mountain around the temple. 相似文献
Soil erosion by water represents a serious threat to the natural and human environment in Mediterranean countries, including Lebanon, which represents a good case study. This research deals with how to use Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, and, more specifically, structural classification techniques and decision-tree modeling to map erosion risks and design priority management planning over a representative region of Lebanon. The structural classification organization and analysis of spatial structures (OASIS) of Landsat TM satellite imagery (30 m) was used to define landscapes that prevail in this area and their boundaries, depending on their spectral appearance. The landscape map produced was overlaid sequentially with thematic erosion factorial maps (i.e., slope gradient, drainage density, rainfall quantity, vegetal cover, soil infiltration, soil erodibility, rock infiltration and rock movement). The overlay was visual and conditional using three visual interpretation rules (dominance, unimodality and scarcity conservation), and landscape properties were produced. Rills and gullies were measured in the field, and a decision-tree regression model was developed on the landscapes to statistically explain gully occurrence. This model explained 88% of the variability in field gully measurements. The erosion risk map produced corresponds well to field observations (accuracy of 82%). The landscapes were prioritized according to anti-erosive remedial measures: preventive (Pre), protective (Pro), and restorative (Res). This approach seems useful in Lebanon, but can also serve in other countries with similar geo-environmental conditions or those lacking detailed geospatial data. 相似文献
