The main reason behind their emergence is due to their environment-friendly behavior,unlimited availability and short period for replenishment over nonrenewable energy resources. Renewable energy resources are much better than nonrenewable energy resources, but the intermittency in renewable energy resources degrades the system performance. In order to overcome the intermittency, multiple hybrid system techniques were proposed in literature that can achieve suitable results but have disadvantages of complicated control structures and high implementation cost. Considering aforementioned shortcomings, a simple balancing approach is proposed to intermix solar and wind energy together so as to utilize the available energy from both sources at a given time.It is very common that solar farms are the dominating source of energy in daytime and summer, while wind farms are the dominating source of energy at night and in winter. The proposed approach delivers maximum possible power to the load by combining dominating and non-dominating resources all the time, hence mitigating the intermittency of individual resources. Compared with other approaches, the proposed approach offers key benefits with redundancy, simple design and low cost, which can be analyzed from simulation results.展开更多

PECVD 200 mn SiO2 film after 160 keV phosphorus（P） ion implantation was performed to induce InP-based multiple-quantum-well （MQW） laser structural intermixing, annealing process was carried out at 780 ℃ for 30 seconds under N2 flue, the blue shift ofphotoluminescenee （PL） peak related to implanted dose ： 1 × 10^11, 1 × 10^12, 1×10^13 ,3 × 10^13 , 7× 10^13 ion/ cm^2 is 22 nm, 65 nm, 104 nm, 109 nm, 101 nm, respectively. Under the same conditions, by comparing the blue shift of PL peak with P ion implantation only, slight differentiation between the two methods was observed, and results reveal that the defects in the implanting layers generated by ion implantation are much more than those in SiO2 film. So, the blue shift results mainly from ion implantation. However, SiO2 film also may promote the quantum well intermixing.展开更多

The ion implantation was performed at the energy of 120 keV with the dose ranging from 1 × 10^11cm^-2 to 1× 10^14cm^-2. The RTA was performed at the temperature of 700 ℃ for 30 s under pure nitrogen protection. The PL measurement implied that the band gap blue-shift from the upper well increases with the ion dose faster than that from lower well and the PL peaks from both QWs remained well separated under the lower dose implantation（-1 × 10^11cm^-2） indicating that the implant vacancy distribution affects the QWl. When the ion dose is over - 1 × 10^12cm^-2, the band gap blue-shift from both wells increases with the ion dose and finally the two peaks merge together as one peak indicating the ion implantation caused a total intermixing of both quantum wells.展开更多

A detailed knowledge of the atomic structure of these materials is crucial for further development of SLs and for a better understanding of the resistivity switching characteristics of iPCM devices. In this work, crystalline GeTe-Sb2TeB- based SLs, produced by pulsed laser deposition onto a Si（111） substrate at temperatures lower than in previous studies, are analyzed by advanced scanning transmission electron microscopy. The results reveal the formation of Ge-rich Ge（x＋y）Sb（2-y）Tez building blocks with specific numbers of ordered Ge cation layers （between I and 5） and disordered cation layers （4） for z = 6-10, as well as intermixed cation layers for z = 5, within the SLs. The G Ge（x＋y）Sb（2-y）Tez units are separated from the Sb2Te3 building blocks by van der Waals gaps. In particular, the interlayer bonding is promoted by the formation of outermost cation layers consisting of intermixed GeSb within the building blocks adjacent to the van der Waals gaps. The Ge（x＋y）Sb（2-y）Tez units with z 〉 5 retain metastable crystal structures with two-dimensional bonding within the SLs. The present study shed new light on the possible configurations of the building units that can be formed during the synthesis of GeTe-Sb2Te3-based iPCM materials. In addition, a possible switching mechanism active in iPCM materials is discussed.展开更多
