Preparation and characterization of a new long afterglow phosphor CaSnO<Subscript>3</Subscript>: Yb<Superscript>3+</Superscript>

A new phosphor CaSnO₃: Yb³⁺ was synthesized by a traditional solid-state reaction and the luminescent properties were investigated. The phosphors are well crystallized at 1200?°C. The excitation and the emission spectra show the characteristic broad of the Sn²⁺ ion and the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy demonstrate the existence of Sn²⁺ ions caused by the doping of Yb³⁺ ions. The CaSnO₃: Yb³⁺ phosphor showed a typical afterglow behavior when the UV source was switched off. Thermal simulated luminescence study indicated that the persistent afterglow of CaSnO₃: Yb³⁺ phosphor was generated by the suitable electron or hole traps which were resulted from doping the calcium stannate host with rare-earth ions (Yb³⁺).

An overview on GNSS carrier-phase time transfer research

Global navigation satellite system(GNSS) carrier phase observations are two orders of higher accuracy than pseudo-range observations, and they are less affected by multipath besides. As a result, the time transfer accuracy can reach 0.1 ns, and the frequency transfer stability can reach 1×10~(-15) with carrier phase(CP) method, therefore CP method is considered the most accurate and promising time transfer technology. The focus of this paper is to present a comprehensive summary of CP method,with specific attention directed toward day-boundary clock jump, ambiguity resolution(AR), multi-system time transfer and real-time time transfer. Day-boundary clock jump is essentially caused by pseudo-range noise. Several approaches were proposed to solve the problem, such as continuously processing strategy, sliding batch and bidirectional filtering methods which were compared in this study. Additionally, researches on AR in CP method were introduced. Many scholars attempted to fix the single-difference ambiguities to improve the time transfer result, however, owing to the uncalibrated phase delay(UPD) was not considered, the current studies on AR in CP method were still immature. Moreover, because four GNSS systems could be used for time-transfer currently, which was helpful to increase the accuracy and reliability, the researches on multi-system time transfer were reviewed. What's more, real-time time transfer attracted more attention nowadays, the preliminary research results were presented.     

超高对比度是如何炼成的你的

在LCD领域中,发展得最快的其实不是液晶显示器屏幕的大小,而是显示器对比度。回顾一年多以前,某款拥有2000：1的动态对比度的产品一出现就被赋予了“机皇”的称号。如今,这样的对比度只能算是入门级别,动辄上万的产品比比皆是,而最近上市的三星T220G的对比度更是达到了40000：1!
