Plasmon enhancement for Vernier coupled single-mode lasing from ZnO/Pt hybrid microcavities

It is essential to develop a single mode operation and improve the performance of lasing in order to ensure practical applicability of microlasers and nanolasers.In this paper,two hexagonal microteeth with varied nanoscaled air-gaps of a ZnO microcomb are used to construct coupled whispering-gallery cavities.This is done to achieve a stable single mode lasing based on Vernier effect without requiring any complicated or sophisticated manipulation to achieve positioning with nanoscale precision.Optical gain and the corresponding ultraviolet lasing performance were improved greatly through coupling with localized surface plasmons of Pt nanoparticles.The ZnO/Pt hybrid microcavities achieved a seven-fold enhancement of intensity of single mode lasing with higher sidemode suppression ratio and lower threshold.The mechanism that led to this enhancement has been described in detail.     

Flexible H2 sensor fabricated by layer-by-layer self-assembly of thin films of polypyrrole and modified in situ with Pt nanoparticles

A novel flexible H₂ gas sensor was fabricated by the layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly of a polypyrrole (PPy) thin film on a polyester (PET) substrate. A Pt-based complex was self-assembled in situ on the as-prepared PPy thin film, which was reduced to form a Pt-PPy thin film. Microstructural observations revealed that Pt nanoparticles formed on the surface of the PPy film. The sensitivity of the PPy thin film was improved by the Pt nanoparticles, providing catalytically active sites for H₂ gas molecules. The interfering gas NH₃ affected the limit of detection (LOD) of a targeted H₂ gas in a real-world binary gas mixture. A plausible H₂ gas sensing mechanism involves catalytic effects of Pt particles and the formation of charge carriers in the PPy thin film. The flexible H₂ gas sensor exhibited a strong sensitivity that was greater than that of sensors that were made of Pd-MWCNTs at room temperature.

A silicon-glass-based microfabricated wide range thermal distribution gas flow meter

Recently, there has been high demand on miniaturizations of bio-instruments and wide range gas flux measurement in the field of chemistry and mechanics. This paper presents the design, fabrication, and characterization of a silicon-glass-based thermal distribution gas flow meter (20 mm × 10 mm × 1.6 mm) with a wide detection range. To facilitate the fabrication and maintain the stability of the sensor, a platinum (Pt) thin film was adopted as the heater and thermometers. Both the thermal property and temperature sensitivity of Pt thin film were characterized. SiO₂ passivation layers were deposited on top of the Pt film to prevent thermal and electrical shift of sensitive elements. Three pairs of thermometers were constructed beside the heater. Sensitivity and gas flux range of the gas flow meter can be increased by alternate use of these three sensor pairs. We also introduced a specific hardware control circuit system for real-time gas flux monitoring through the connection with a computer interface. The proposed gas flow sensor device was capable of measuring gas flux within the range of 0.8-2800 ml/min, thus demonstrating the potential for a wide range of applications.

Support and precursor effects on the preparation of new heterogenized Pt/Sn catalysts for the selective hydroformylation of 1-pentene

New heterogenized Pt/Sn catalysts selective for the hydroformylation of 1-pentene have been synthesized. The complex cis-[PtCl₂(PPh₃)₂] and the SnCl₂.2H₂O or SnC₂O₄ precursors have been anchored on silica-, magnesia- and alumina-carriers. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to determine the surface composition and the nature of the anchored species. The hydroformylation activity was found to depend on the type of support and tin precursor used. Only the silica supported catalysts were active in the hydroformylation reaction. Samples prepared from SnCl₂-2H₂O were 200-fold more active than those prepared from SnC₂O₄. Selectivity ton-hexanal of the silica-supported catalyst prepared from SnCl₂-2H₂O was as high as 94.4% at 39.2% conversion of 1-pentene.     

Electro-oxidation of dimethyl ether on Pt/C and PtMe/C catalysts in sulfuric acid

The electro-oxidation of dimethyl ether (DME) on PtMe/Cs (Me = Ru, Sn, Mo, Cr, Ni, Co, and W) and Pt/C electro-catalysts were investigated in an aqueous half-cell, and compared to the methanol oxidation. The addition of a second metal enhanced the tolerance of Pt to the poisonous species during the DME oxidation reaction (DOR). The PtRu/C electro-catalyst showed the best electro-catalytic activity and the highest tolerance to the poisonous species in the low over-potential range (<0.55 V, 50 °C) among the binary electro-catalysts and the Pt/C, but at the higher potential (>ca. 0.55 V, 50 °C), the Pt/C behaved better than PtRu/C. The apparent activation energy for the DOR decreased in the order: PtRu/C (57 kJ mol⁻¹) > Pt₃Sn/C (48 kJ mol⁻¹) ≈ Pt/C (46 kJ mol⁻¹). On the other hand, the activation energy for the MOR showed a different turn, decreased in the following order: Pt/C (43 kJ mol⁻¹) > Pt₃Sn/C (35 kJ mol⁻¹) ≈ PtRu/C (34 kJ mol⁻¹). The temperature dependence of the DOR was greater than that of the oxidation of methanol (MOR) on the PtRu/C.

Plasma etching of high-k and metal gate materials

Etching characteristics of high-k dielectric materials (HfO₂) and metal electrode materials (Pt, TaN) have been studied in high-density chlorine-containing plasmas at pressures around 10 mTorr. The etching of HfO₂ was performed in BCl₃ without rf biasing, giving an etch rate of about 5 nm/min with a high selectivity of >10 over Si and SiO₂. The etching of Pt and TaN was performed in Ar/O₂ with high rf biasing and in Ar/Cl₂ with low rf biasing, respectively, giving a Pt etch rate of about several tens nm/min and a TaN etch rate of about 200 nm/min with a high selectivity of >8 over HfO₂ and SiO₂. The etched profiles were outwardly tapered for Pt, owing to the redeposition of etch or sputter products on feature sidewalls, while the TaN profiles were almost anisotropic, probably owing to the ion-enhanced etching that occurred.
