Formation of structure of the CdTe film, recrystallized on Mo/glass substrate under high temperature and mechanical pressure

Large-grained and 7 μm thick CdTe film has been fabricated on top of Mo coated soda-lime glass substrate. As a new approach the dynamic recrystallization process (DRC) was used to form the structure of films. For the characterization of the structure and composition of the films a scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods were used. The changes in the structure of films were studied in accordance with the process temperature, pressure and as-deposited film thickness. Significant changes in the CdTe film were observed after DRC of deposited films at the process temperatures between 450 °C and 550 °C. EDS quantitative analysis showed that during the recrystallization the Mo and CdTe films composition remained stable for all studied samples. The XRD results showed that the increase in the process temperature caused improvement in orientation of the films along direction of (111). The DRC temperature above 550 °C reduced the orientation again. The limits of the temperature and pressure in application of soda-lime glass in DRC were found and discussed.     

用磁控溅射法制备的Ag-MgF2的复合薄膜的研究

采用RF磁控溅射方法制备了Ag-MgF2复合薄膜.通过XRD测量,发现当退火温度在300～500℃时,Ag以晶态形式镶嵌在非晶态介质中;当退火温度低于300℃时候,Ag以非晶态形式存在.在分层镀Ag和MgF2薄膜后,经过热处理使Ag颗粒扩散在MgF2介质中,通过AFM观察,对复合薄膜形貌进行了分析:如果先镀MgF2薄膜,再镀Ag薄膜,发现Ag颗粒主要分布在薄膜的表面,并且富集形成较大的颗粒,表现出块体Ag的吸收特性.而先镀Ag薄膜,然后再镀MgF2薄膜,经过热处理,可以形成Ag颗粒均匀镶嵌在介质中形成的复合薄膜.同时对样品的吸收特性也进行了研究.     

Metal–Organic Gel‐Derived FexOy/Nitrogen‐Doped Carbon Films for Enhanced Lithium Storage

The development of cost‐effective and flexible electrodes is demanding in the field of energy storage. Herein, flexible Fe_xO_y/nitrogen‐doped carbon films (Fe_xO_y/NC‐MOG) are prepared by facile electrospinning of Fe‐based metal–organic gels (MOGs) followed by high‐temperature carbonization. This approach allows the even mixing of fragile coordination polymers with polyacrylonitrile into flexible films while reserving the structural characteristics of coordination polymers. After thermal treatment, Fe_xO_y/NC‐MOG films possess uniformly distributed Fe_xO_y nanoparticles and larger accessible surface areas than traditional Fe_xO_y‐NC films without MOG. Taking advantage of the unique structure, Fe_xO_y/NC‐MOG exhibits a superior rate performance (449.8 mA h g^?1 at 5000 mA g^–1) and long cycle life (629.3 mA h g^–1 after 500 cycles at 1000 mA g^–1) when used as additive‐free anodes in lithium‐ion batteries.

Coating of TiO2 nanoparticles with PbS thin films and preparation of PbS nanoparticles using a one-pot sonochemical reaction under the multibubble sonoluminescence conditions

Preparations of PbS-coated titanium dioxide (TiO₂) and lead sulfide (PbS) nanoparticles under ultrasonic field at the multibubble sonoluminescence (MBSL) conditions were tested in water solutions. Under the optimal MBSL conditions (20 kHz and 220 W power input), PbS nanoparticles (diameter = 40-50 nm) were prepared by treating lead nitrate and thioacetamide for 20 min in water solutions. The size of PbS nanoparticles was found to be easily increased to about 90 nm in diameter by increasing the reactant concentration twice. A similar sonochemical reaction with TiO₂ nanoparticles (about 20-30 nm in diameter) gave rise to PbS-coated TiO₂ nanoparticles with a core/shell structure. The PbS thin film coating was quite uniform and the average coating depth of PbS on the TiO₂ nanoparticles was about 2-3 nm under the described conditions. It is interesting to note that the coating depth was found to be controlled to 2-10 nm range by increasing the amounts of reactants for Pb and S twice with a sonication time of 30 min.     

Set up of a Screen-Printing Procedure for the Production of a β Alumina-Based Gas Sensor*

A gas sensor based on a -alumina thick film was recently developed on a laboratory scale. This sensor can be successfully used for selective detection of CO and NO_x, resulting from an appropriate choice of the working temperature of the sensing element. This paper deals with the approach of the industrial transfer of the sensor prototype, mainly concerning the scale-up of the screen-printing procedure from a hand-operated apparatus to an industrial production machine. Many parameters were already investigated during the laboratory development, namely the ink composition in terms of organic/inorganic component ratio, the type and amount of the liquid dispersant and rheological agent, the composition and softening temperature of the binder, the -alumina/binder weight ratio. During the industrial transfer, some other parameters must be considered, such as the particle size distribution of the ceramic components of the ink, the influence of the mesh number of the screen fabric on the surface texture of the -alumina film, the viscosity performances of the ink as a function of the applied shear rate and ageing. A common commercial metallic paste was also used as reference for optimizing the characteristics of the -alumina based ink.     

负色散镜的设计、制备及在掺钛蓝宝石激光谐振腔内的使用

根据钛宝石激光器的要求设计了性能优良的两种负色散镜(NDM1和NDM2)。NDM1同时引入啁啾效应和G-T效应产生大的群延迟色散量以减少光在负色散镜上的反射次数。NDM2仅引入G-T效应产生较小的群延迟色散以补偿腔内自相位调制带来的部分啁啾。选用离子束溅射法制备了这两种负色散镜。用分光光度计测试了它们的透射率。结果表明,所制备的负色散镜的性能与设计性能非常接近。使用这两种负色散镜进行掺钛蓝宝石激光谐振腔内色散补偿实现了飞秒脉冲锁模,获得了15 fs的超短脉冲。     

Eco-Sustainable Silk Fibroin/Pomegranate Peel Extract Film as an Innovative Green Material for Skin Repair

Skin disorders are widespread around the world, affecting people of all ages, and oxidative stress represents one of the main causes of alteration in the normal physiological parameters of skin cells. In this work, we combined a natural protein, fibroin, with antioxidant compounds extracted in water from pomegranate waste. We demonstrate the effective and facile fabrication of bioactive and eco-sustainable films of potential interest for skin repair. The blended films are visually transparent (around 90%); flexible; stable in physiological conditions and in the presence of trypsin for 12 days; able to release the bioactive compounds in a controlled manner; based on Fickian diffusion; and biocompatible towards the main skin cells, keratinocytes and fibroblasts. Furthermore, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production tests demonstrated the high capacity of our films to reduce the oxidative stress induced in cells, which is responsible for various skin diseases.

Relationship between microscopic and macroscopic structures of organic thin films for SHG

The experiments described in this paper were undertaken in order to obtain information about the relationship between the structure and non-linear optical properties (second-harmonic generation) of organic thin films. For this purpose, two closely related dyes, diones and tetrones, were compared, both of which are shown to have large hyperpolarisabilities. Their microscopic properties are investigated by conformational analysis and electron diffraction. It could be shown that detailed knowledge about the structure and the adjacent neighbour packing can be obtained from conformational analysis and electron diffraction in order to understand the non-linear optical properties of the two dyes.
