Tilted superlattice composition profile determined by photoluminescence and thermal disordering

The composition profile of an (AlAs)_1/2(GaAs)_1/2 tilted superlattice is characterized for the first time. The tilted superlattice sample is thermally disordered, and the energy of the direct band gap photoluminescence peak is measured as a function of increasing layer interdiffusion. The shift in the photoluminescence peak energy after completely disordering the tilted superlattice is 39 meV. A theoretical model is used to simulate the change in band gap as a function of layer interdiffusion for several composition profiles. The profile that gives the best fit to the experimental data is chosen. The tilted superlattice composition profile is found to be sinusoidal, varying from Al_0.40Ga_0.60As to Al_0.60Ga_0.40As.

倾斜波束非对称SAARS微带天线设计简

A circularly polarized microstrip antenna with the tilted beam of 30° through the asymmetrical structure combing the single-arm archimedean spiral antenna with the helix antenna is constructed in order to make the beam tilted. The bandwidth, tilted beam, and radiation characteristics have been improved through the width optimization and coaxial feed line selection. This antenna can realize the directional radiation of circularly polarized microwaves in a definite frequency band and has a bandwidth of 16.7％ (for Voltage Standing Wave Ratio(VSWR)<2, Axis Ratio(AR)<3dB and the tilted beam of 30°) in the condition of the vertical aperture external excitation with a coaxial feed line. Simulated and measured results show that this antenna has a wideband, high gain, and tilted beam with circularly polarized microwaves.     

970 nm超辐射发光二极管弯曲脊形波导数值分析

本文基于光束传播法(beam propagation method, BPM)和时域有限差分法(finite difference time domain method, FDTD)建立了分析模型,模拟并分析了弯曲脊形波导超辐射发光二极管(superluminescent light emitting diode, SLD)不同结构参数(刻蚀深度、曲率半径、脊形宽度)对波导损耗的影响和倾斜脊形波导不同结构参数(刻蚀深度、脊形宽度、倾斜角度、发射波长)对模式反射率的影响。计算表明,弯曲脊形波导的刻蚀深度和曲率半径是影响波导损耗的重要因素。刻蚀深度较浅使波导对光场的限制作用较弱,过小的曲率半径会使模式传输泄露严重,损耗大大增加。脊形宽度越大,波导损耗越小,其对波导损耗影响较小。脊形波导的端面倾斜角度是抑制模式反射率的重要因素,脊形宽度增加,模式反射率逐渐减小,并在特定的几个角度形成的奇点达到最小值。刻蚀深度对于模式反射率的影响作用较小,但随着刻蚀深度的增加,奇点发生的角度产生了向小角度偏移。在特定的倾斜角度范围内,随着波长减小,奇点的数目会逐渐增加。研究结果可对设计具有优越性能的SLD器件...     

Theoretical analysis of polarization properties for tilted fiber Bragg gratings

The polarization properties for tilted fiber Bragg gratings (TFBGs) are investigated theoretically based on coupled-mode theory and Mueller matrix method. The expression of wavelength-related polarizationdependent loss (PDL) for TFBGs with different tilt angles is derived and calculated. Simulation results are compared, and the results indicate that the polarization capability of TFBGs with 45° angle is stronger than other TFBGs with smaller angles. The degree of polarization for unpolarized light passing T...     

探测器倾斜的锥束FDK修正重建算法

在锥束工业CT系统中,通常要求射线源焦点、物体旋转中心、平板探测器中心三点在一条直线上,与平板探测器垂直。由于机械的定位误差,探测器定位后会出现一定角度的倾斜现象,如果直接利用平板探测器倾斜后采集的投影数据进行重建,重建结果将会出现偏离,产生伪影。针对该问题,利用系统标定的方法测得探测器倾斜角度,利用机械校正对其进行粗调,利用提出的基于探测器倾斜的FDK修正算法进行微调,经过两次校正可以有效抑制由于平板探测器倾斜造成的伪影,通过实验验证了该方法的可行性。     

Theoretical study of the zero-gap organic conductor α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3

Abstract

The quasi-two-dimensional molecular conductor α-(BEDT-TTF)₂I₃ exhibits anomalous transport phenomena where the temperature dependence of resistivity is weak but the ratio of the Hall coefficient at 10 K to that at room temperature is of the order of 10⁴. These puzzling phenomena were solved by predicting massless Dirac fermions, whose motions are described using the tilted Weyl equation with anisotropic velocity. α-(BEDT-TTF)₂I₃ is a unique material among several materials with Dirac fermions, i.e. graphene, bismuth, and quantum wells such as HgTe, from the view-points of both the structure and electronic states described as follows. α-(BEDT-TTF)₂I₃ has the layered structure with highly two-dimensional massless Dirac fermions. The anisotropic velocity and incommensurate momenta of the contact points, ±k₀, originate from the inequivalency of the BEDT-TTF sites in the unit cell, where ±k₀ moves in the first Brillouin zone with increasing pressure. The massless Dirac fermions exist in the presence of the charge disproportionation and are robust against the increase in pressure. The electron densities on those inequivalent BEDT-TTF sites exhibit anomalous momentum distributions, reflecting the angular dependences of the wave functions around the contact points. Those unique electronic properties affect the spatial oscillations of the electron densities in the vicinity of an impurity. A marked behavior of the Hall coefficient, where the sign of the Hall coefficient reverses sharply but continuously at low temperatures around 5 K, is investigated by treating the interband effects of the magnetic field exactly. It is shown that such behavior is possible by assuming the existence of the extremely small amount of electron doping. The enhancement of the orbital diamagnetism is also expected. The results of the present research shed light on a new aspect of Dirac fermion physics, i.e. the emergence of unique electronic properties owing to the structure of the material.     

pH-responsive drug delivery system based on hollow silicon dioxide micropillars coated with polyelectrolyte multilayers

We report on the fabrication of polyelectrolyte multilayer-coated hollow silicon dioxide micropillars as pH-responsive drug delivery systems. Silicon dioxide micropillars are based on macroporous silicon formed by electrochemical etching. Due to their hollow core capable of being loaded with chemically active agents, silicon dioxide micropillars provide additional function such as drug delivery system. The polyelectrolyte multilayer was assembled by the layer-by-layer technique based on the alternative deposition of cationic and anionic polyelectrolytes. The polyelectrolyte pair poly(allylamine hydrochloride) and sodium poly(styrene sulfonate) exhibited pH-responsive properties for the loading and release of a positively charged drug doxorubicin. The drug release rate was observed to be higher at pH 5.2 compared to that at pH 7.4. Furthermore, we assessed the effect of the number of polyelectrolyte bilayers on the drug release loading and release rate. Thus, this hybrid composite could be potentially applicable as a pH-controlled system for localized drug release.

High-throughput optimization and fabrication of Bi2Te2.7Se0.3-based artificially tilted multilayer thermoelectric devices

Artificially tilted multilayer thermoelectric devices (ATMTDs) have attracted growing attention due to their ease in miniaturization and high flexibility in device design. However, most of these devices are inefficient due to the lack of effective strategy to optimize their material matching and geometrical configurations. Herein, a high-throughput optimization approach is employed to screen high-performance Bi₂Te_2.7Se_0.3-based ATMTDs from a material genome database covering 230 kinds of candidates. 14 kinds of ATMTDs are found to have ZT_zx,max values exceeding 0.3 and tilt angles greater than 15°. Bi_0.1Sb_1.9Te₃/Bi₂Te_2.7Se_0.3 ATMTD is screened out and fabricated because of its excellent transverse figure of merit, large tilt angle, and good interface compatibility. Consequently, transverse figure of merit over 0.3, thermal sensitivity greater than 0.11 mV·K^?1, and power density up to 1.1 kW·m^?2 are recorded in Bi_0.1Sb_1.9Te₃/Bi₂Te_2.7Se_0.3 ATMTD. This indicates that ATMTDs have great potential for application in the fields of temperature detection and power generation.
