太赫兹Si/SiGe量子级联激光器波导模拟

波导层结构设计是制备太赫兹(THz)量子级联激光器的关键问题之一.本文基于德鲁得(Drude)模型,利用时域有限差分(FDTD)法,对Si/SiGe量子级联激光器的波导层进行优化设计,从理论上对传统的递变折射率波导、单面金属波导、双面金属波导以及金属/金属硅化物波导横磁模(TM模)的模式损耗和光场限制因子进行了对比分析.结果表明,金属/金属硅化物波导不但可以减小波导损耗,而且有很高的光学限制因子,同时其工艺也比双面金属波导容易实现,为Si/SiGe太赫兹量子级联激光器波导层的设计提供了一定的理论指导.

Polymeric Nanoparticles as a Self-Adjuvanting Peptide Vaccine Delivery System: The Role of Shape

Antigens incorporated in subunit vaccines are typically poorly immunogenic, so a strong immunostimulant (adjuvant) and/or delivery system is required to boost immunogenicity. In this work, the various functional polymer nanostructures, that is, rods, worms, spheres, and tadpoles are used to develop potent peptide antigen delivery systems. The antigen PADRE-J8 (PJ8), derived from Group A Streptococcus (GAS) M-protein, is either physically mixed or chemically conjugated to polymeric nanoparticles of different shapes. The physical mixture of polymeric nanoparticles and antigen is more effective in inducing antibody production than their chemical conjugates. Moreover, rod-shaped polymeric nanoparticles in physical mixture with PJ8 elicited higher and more opsonic antibody titers than powerful complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-adjuvanted antigen. Herein, for the first time it is demonstrated that a) the block copolymer, in nanoparticle form, can act as an immune adjuvant, b) nanoparticle shape plays a crucial role in their immunogenicity, and c) antigen conjugation is not required, nor is antigen encapsulation or absorption.     

High-Resolution and Stable Ruddlesden–Popper Quasi-2D Perovskite Flexible Photodetectors Arrays for Potential Applications as Optical Image Sensor

The development of an efficient fabrication route to achieve high-resolution perovskite pixel array is key for large-scale flexible image sensor devices. Herein, a high-resolution and stable 10 × 10 flexible PDs array based on formamidinium(FA⁺) and phenylmethylammonium (PMA⁺) quasi-2D (PMA)₂FAPb₂I₇ (n = 2) perovskite is demonstrated by developing SiO₂-assisted hydrophobic and hydrophilic treatment process on polyethylene terephthalate substrate. By introducing Au nanoparticles (Au NPs),  the perovskite film quality is improved and grain boundaries are reduced. The mechanism by which Au NPs upgrade the photoelectric quality of perovskite is mainly revealed by glow discharge-optical emission spectroscopy (GD-OES) and grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS). To further improve the photoelectric performance of the devices, a post-treatment strategy with formamidinium chloride (FACl) is used . The optimized flexible PDs arrays show excellent optoelectronic properties with a high responsivity of 4.7 A W⁻¹, a detectivity of 6.3 × 10¹² Jones, and a broad spectral sensitivity. The device also exhibits excellent electrical stability even under severe bending and excellent flexural strength, as well as excellent environmental stability. Finally, the integrated flexible PDs arrays are used as sensor pixels in an imaging system to obtain high-resolution imaging patterns, demonstrating the imaging capability of the PDs arrays.     

AlN成核层厚度对Si上外延GaN的影响

采用低温AlN成核层,在Si(111)衬底上,用金属有机化学气相沉积(MOCVD)法生长了GaN薄膜。采用高分辨X射线衍射(XRD)、椭圆偏振光谱仪和原子力显微镜(AFM)研究了AlN成核层的厚度对GaN外延层的影响。对AlN的测试表明,AlN的表面粗糙度(RMS)随着厚度增加而变大。对GaN的测试表明,所有GaN样品在垂直方向处于压应变状态,并且随AlN厚度增加而略有减弱。GaN的(0002)_ω扫描的峰值半宽(FWHM)随着AlN成核层厚度增加而略有升高,GaN(10-12)_ω扫描的FWHM随着厚度增加而有所下降。(10-12)_ω扫描的FWHM与GaN的刃型穿透位错密度相关,A1N成核层的厚度较大时会降低刃型穿透位错密度,并减弱c轴方向的压应变状态。     

Thermosensitive Molecular,Colloidal, and Bulk Interactions Using a Simple Surfactant

Efficient use of (nano)particle self‐assembly for creating nanostructured materials requires sensitive control over the interactions between building blocks. Here, a very simple method for rendering the interactions between almost any hydrophobic nano‐ and microparticles thermoswitchable is described and this attraction is characterized using colloid probe atomic force microscopy (CP‐AFM). In a single‐step synthesis, a thermoresponsive surfactant is prepared that through physical adsorption generates a thermosensitive brush on hydrophobic surfaces. These surface layers can reversibly trigger gelation and crystallization of nano‐ and microparticles, and at the same time can be used to destabilize emulsions on demand. The method requires no chemical surface modification yet is universal, reproducible, and fully reversible.

Thermal and rheological properties of nanoparticle modified asphalt binder at low and intermediate temperature range

There is a paucity of knowledge regarding the effect of nanoparticles on the performance of asphalt binder against fatigue and low-temperature cracking. In this research, asphalt binders were modified using SiO₂, TiO₂, and CaCO₃ nanoparticles, and rheological and thermal properties of the modified binders were investigated. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to determine glass transition temperature, and rheological properties at low and intermediate temperatures were determined using bending beam and dynamic shear rheometers, respectively. The results suggested that the addition of these nanoparticles increases glass transition temperature and the low-temperature stiffness of asphalt binder. Furthermore, increase in complex shear modulus and decrease in phase angle values were observed at intermediate temperatures. It can be concluded that inferior performance at low and intermediate temperature is expected by the addition of nanoparticles to asphalt binder.     

Synergistic effect of nanoparticles and Thalassospira sp. isolated from Bahregan area in biodegradation of oil sludge

Oil sludge is obtained from the contaminated site of Bahregan area in the Persian Gulf in Iran. Chemotaxis was used for the isolation of alkane-degrading bacteria from oil sludge and the alk genes were determined with specific primers. bac1 identified in Thalassospira was selected as a powerful strain for biodegradation of oil sludge. Biodegradation of oil sludge by bac1 in the presence of nanoparticles was investigated by GC-MS analysis. Synergistic effect of Fe₂O₃ and Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles on bacteria increases the biodegradation of oil sludge and produces cyclosiloxane compound which is used in the field of medicine; however, the Thalassospira reduced its toxicity in the environment.
