Reproducibility and stability of N–Al codoped p-type ZnO thin films

Reproducible and stable p-type ZnO thin films have been prepared by the N–Al codoping method. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy measurements demonstrate that N and Al are incorporated into ZnO. The resistivity, carrier concentration, and Hall mobility are typically of 50–100 Ωcm, 1×10¹⁷–8×10¹⁷ cm⁻³, and 0.1–0.6 cm²/Vs, respectively, for the N–Al codoped p-type ZnO films. Hall measurement, X-ray diffraction, and optical transmission were carried out to investigate the changes of the properties with the storage period. Results show that the p-type characteristics of the N–Al codoped ZnO films are of acceptable reproducibility and stability. In addition, the N–Al codoped p-type ZnO films have good crystallinity and optical quality. The properties are time independent.     

Research and Improvement on structure stability and corrosion resistance of nickel-base superalloy INCONEL alloy 740

INCONEL alloy 740 is a newly developed Ni–Cr–Co–Mo–Nb–Ti–Al superalloy in the application to ultra-supercritical boilers with steam temperatures up to 700 °C. By means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), micro-chemical phase analyses, and corrosion-resisting test, this paper investigates the structure stability of the alloy at elevated temperature and concentrates on coal ash corrosion performance of the alloy under the simulated coal ash/flue gas condition. Experimental results show that the most important structure instabilities of the alloy during prolonged aging are γ′ coarsening, γ′ to η transformation and G phase formation at grain boundary. The performance of corrosion resistance of the alloy would meet the requirement of ultra-supercritical boiler tubes. The phase computation by means of Thermo-Calc has been adopted in chemical composition modification for structure stability improvement. Two suggested new modified alloys in adjustment of the Al and Ti contents and in control of Si level, and also in maintenance of Cr content of the alloy were designed and melted for experimental investigation. These two modified alloys exhibit more stable microstructure during 760 °C long time aging.     

Determination of density distribution in ferrous powder compacts using ultrasonic tomography.

Laser-induced ultrasonic bulk wave tomography is used for density variation determination of powder metal compacts. A laser beam is used to excite ultrasonic energy, and the signals passing through the specimen are received by an air-coupled transducer. The density variations of powder metal compacts can be determined directly by the cross-sectional tomographic images of slowness obtained by using a filtered, backprojection algorithm based on measured time of flights. Interpolations with respect to sample and projection angles are used to generate the input data required for displaying a well-balanced, reconstructed image to reduce the aliasing distortions caused by insufficient input data. Results of presintered cylindrical ferrous powdered samples show that this novel approach makes the reconstruction process more cost effective than the very tedious, time-consuming, and inaccurate metallographic methods, thus making it a potentially powerful tool for studying manufacturing processes through significant parameters to obtain a more uniform density distribution.

Comparison of structural and photoluminescence properties of ZnO thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition and ultrasonic spray pyrolysis

ZnO thin films have been deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) method, respectively. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy characterizations indicate that ZnO film grown by PLD exhibits better crystallinity than that grown by USP. Photoluminescence spectra show that the near-band edge ultraviolet emission of film grown by PLD is narrower and shifts to higher energy, compared with that of film grown by USP. In the visible range, ZnO film grown by PLD exhibits four local level emission centered at 470 nm, 486 nm, 544 nm, and 613 nm, respectively, while the film grown by USP only presents a weak broad band emission centered at 502 nm. Hall measurement shows higher carrier density and lower hall mobility in ZnO film grown by PLD than that in film grown by USP. The higher density of intrinsic defects as well as higher crystallintiy is considered to account for the difference of photoluminescence in ZnO film grown by PLD with that in film grown by USP.

Soft handoff and connection reliability in cellular CDMA downlinks

A two-phase soft handoff scheme, which includes an initial power allocation phase followed by a power redistribution phase, is proposed. The initial power allocation phase makes a handoff decision for each connection by assigning a connection to the BS with the best link quality and allocating a minimum amount of power from the BS for the connection. The initial handoff decisions are made for individual connections independent of other connections or the BS power availability. Therefore, there might be heavily loaded and lightly loaded BSs because (i) traffic load may not be equally distributed in all cells, and (ii) the channel condition of the connections is random. The power re-distribution phase is to smooth out the loading on the system by coordinating the power allocations among neighboring BSs so that more connections can receive reliable transmissions. We then develop an analytical model for studying the connection reliability with the proposed soft handoff scheme. Our results show that the proposed two-phase soft handoff scheme can significantly improve connection reliability and increase system capacity in downlink transmissions.
