The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of LED light on the physical traits of chicks. We took forty-one-day-old chicks and randomly separated it into two groups. The chicks in the first group were reared under the effect of incandescent lamp light and in the second one were under the effect of white LED lighting. Chicks were daily monitored for individual chick body, weight gain, feed intake, feather color and fear responses. The distance between chicks and source of light was 50 cm. Student’s t-test test was used for statistical evaluation at p < 0.05 level. The results of the current study showed that chicks reared under incandescent light bulb had significantly higher body weight compared with chicks reared under LED light. The magnitude of body weight in LED group was lower (1192.75 ± 149.9 g) compared to incandescent light group (1307.75 ± 110.5 g). The obtained results revealed that LED light reared chicks were more active;it showed long mobility duration and high levels of exploration in the farm as compared to those in incandescent light group. The results also indicated that incandescent light chicks were less fearful than LED chicks. Furthermore, the study showed that LED light reared chicks have pale pink combs and white feathers that cover all over the body. On the other hand, incandescent light reared chicks have dark red combs and whitish-yellow feathers that cover certain areas of the body especially chick wings, tail and head.展开更多

The crystal phase of Sr2SiO4：xEu^2＋ phosphor manipulated by Eu^2＋ concentration was studied. The phase transited from β to α＇ in Sr2SiO4：xEu^2＋ phosphor with increasing europium concentration. The single β phase was formed as x≤005 and changed α＇ phase when x〉0.01.

With temperature increasing, it was noted that the emission intensity of as-repared phosphors decreased considerably more rapidly when pumped by 460 nm than by 340 nm. The temperature-intensity curves under different excitation wavelengths were obtained using an Arrhenius function, and the corresponding activation energies were also obtained respectively. Thus, the experimental phenomenon was discussed in terms of nonradiative decay rate. The effects of as-prepared phosphors on the performance of the white LED with changing temperature were also studied.展开更多

This layered perovskites exhibit good film coverage as twodimensional perovskites and high emission performance close to three-dimensional organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites. Light-emitting diodes（LEDs） are fabricated by using solution process based on the quasi-two-dimensional layered perovskites. The perovskite LEDs exhibit a sky-blue emission with electroluminescence peak at 491 nm and a low turn on voltage at 2.9 V. The maximum external quantum efficiency reaches 0.015% at brightness of 186 cd/m^2.展开更多

The n-type ZnO epilayer is deposited by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition （MOCVD） on a MOCVD grown Mg-doped p-GaN layer to form a p-n heterojunction. During the etching process, the relation between the etching depth and the etching time is linear in a HF and NH4 CI solution of a certain ratio. The etching rates of the SiO2 and ZnO are well controlled,which are essential for device fabrication. The current-voltage relationship of this heterojunction shows a diode-like rectifying behavior. In contrast to previous reports,electroluminescence （EL） emissions are observed by the naked eye at room temperature from the n-ZnO/p-GaN heterojunction under forward-and reverse-bias. The origins of these EL emissions are discussed in comparison with the pho- toluminescence spectra.展开更多

The phase, morphology, and luminescent property of the prepared phosphors were investigated by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The results indicated that doping of Pr^3＋ ions did not change the main phase of the phosphors. The samples emitted red luminescence upon excitation at 453 nm and the strongest emission peak corresponding to the characteristic transition of the Pr3＋ ion： 3P0→3F2 was observed at 657 nm. Li Y（Mo O4）2：Pr^3＋ red phosphors could be effectively excited by blue light emitting-diodes to emit red light; thus, acting as potential candidates for compensating the red light deficiency of cerium doped yttrium aluminum garnet yellow phosphor.展开更多

It is found that the structure with a p-AlInN electron blocking layer showes improved light output power, lower current leakage, and smaller efficiency droop. Based on numerical simulation and analysis, these improvements of the electrical and optical characteristics are mainly attributed to the efficient electron blocking in the InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells （MQWs）.展开更多

They possess many excellent performances ...The AlGaN-based deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes（LED） with double electron blocking layers（d-EBLs） on both sides of the active region are investigated theoretically. They possess many excellent performances compared with the conventional structure with only a single electron blocking layer, such as a higher recombination rate, improved light output power and internal quantum efficiency（IQE）. The reasons can be concluded as follows. On the one hand, the weakened electrostatic field within the quantum wells（QWs） enhances the electron–hole spatial overlap in QWs, and therefore increases the probability of radioactive recombination. On the other hand, the added n-AlGaN layer can not only prevent holes from overflowing into the n-side region but also act as another electron source, providing more electrons.展开更多

文摘Colloidal quantum dots(CQDs)are highly regarded for their outstanding photovoltaic characteristics,including excellent color purity,stability,high photoluminescence quantum yield(PLQY),narrow emission spectra,and ease of solution processing.Despite significant progress in quantum dot light-emitting diodes(QLEDs)technology since its inception in 1994,blue QLEDs still fall short in efficiency and lifespan compared to red and green versions.The toxicity concerns associated with Cd/Pb-based quantum dots(QDs)have spurred the development of heavy-metal-free alternatives,such as groupⅡ−Ⅵ(e.g.,ZnSe-based QDs),groupⅢ−Ⅴ(e.g.,InP,GaN QDs),and carbon dots(CDs).In this review,we discuss the key properties and development history of quantum dots(QDs),various synthesis approaches,the role of surface ligands,and important considerations in developing core/shell(C/S)structured QDs.Additionally,we provide an outlook on the challenges and future directions for blue QLEDs.
文摘A numerical model for bilayer organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) is developed under the basis of trapped charge limited conduction.The dependences of the current density on the layer thickness,trap properties and carrier mobility of the hole transport layer (HTL) and emission layer (EML) in bilayer OLEDs of the structure anode/HTL/EML/cathode are numerically investigated.It is found that,for given values of the total thickness of organic layers,reduced depth of trap,total density of trap,and carrier mobility of HTL as well as EML,there exists an optimal thickness ratio of HTL to EML,by which a maximal quantum efficiency can be achieved.Through optimization of the thickness ratio,an enhancement of current density and quantum efficiency of as much as two orders of magnitude can be obtained.The dependences of the optimal thickness ratio to the characteristic trap energy,total density of trap and carrier mobility are numerically analyzed.

文摘Sr2SiO4：xEu^2＋ phosphors were synthesized through the solid-state reaction technique. The crystal phase of Sr2SiO4：xEu^2＋ phosphor manipulated by Eu^2＋ concentration was studied. The phase transited from β to α＇ in Sr2SiO4：xEu^2＋ phosphor with increasing europium concentration. The single β phase was formed as x≤005 and changed α＇ phase when x〉0.01. The emission spectrum of the β-Sr2SiO4：Eu^2＋ phosphor consisted of a green-yellow broadband peaking at around 540 nm and a blue band at 470 nm under near ultraviolet excitation. The white LEDs by combining near ultraviolet chips with β-Sr2SiO4：Eu^2＋ phosphors were fabricated. The luminous efficiency （15.7lm/W） was higher than α＇-Sr2SiO4：Eu^2＋ phosphor white LED.

文摘The well crystalline YAG：Ce^3＋ phosphor was synthesized by sold-state method, and the temperature dependence of excitation and emission spectra of YAG：Ce^3＋ phosphor were investigated in the temperature range from room temperature to 573 K. With temperature increasing, it was noted that the emission intensity of as-repared phosphors decreased considerably more rapidly when pumped by 460 nm than by 340 nm. The temperature-intensity curves under different excitation wavelengths were obtained using an Arrhenius function, and the corresponding activation energies were also obtained respectively. Thus, the experimental phenomenon was discussed in terms of nonradiative decay rate. The effects of as-prepared phosphors on the performance of the white LED with changing temperature were also studied.

文摘A mixed organic（4-phenylbutylamine, 4-PBA） and inorganic（cesium, Cs） cations are used to deposit quasi-two-dimensional layered perovskites. This layered perovskites exhibit good film coverage as twodimensional perovskites and high emission performance close to three-dimensional organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites. Light-emitting diodes（LEDs） are fabricated by using solution process based on the quasi-two-dimensional layered perovskites. The perovskite LEDs exhibit a sky-blue emission with electroluminescence peak at 491 nm and a low turn on voltage at 2.9 V. The maximum external quantum efficiency reaches 0.015% at brightness of 186 cd/m^2.
文摘We report the fabrication and characterization of light-emitting diodes based on n-ZnO/p-GaN heterojunctions. The n-type ZnO epilayer is deposited by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition （MOCVD） on a MOCVD grown Mg-doped p-GaN layer to form a p-n heterojunction. During the etching process, the relation between the etching depth and the etching time is linear in a HF and NH4 CI solution of a certain ratio. The etching rates of the SiO2 and ZnO are well controlled,which are essential for device fabrication. The current-voltage relationship of this heterojunction shows a diode-like rectifying behavior. In contrast to previous reports,electroluminescence （EL） emissions are observed by the naked eye at room temperature from the n-ZnO/p-GaN heterojunction under forward-and reverse-bias. The origins of these EL emissions are discussed in comparison with the pho- toluminescence spectra.

文摘Praseodymium doped lithium yttrium molybdate Li Y1-8x Pr x（Mo O4）2（x=0.005-0.025） phosphors were successfully prepared by the hydrothermal method. The phase, morphology, and luminescent property of the prepared phosphors were investigated by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The results indicated that doping of Pr^3＋ ions did not change the main phase of the phosphors. The samples emitted red luminescence upon excitation at 453 nm and the strongest emission peak corresponding to the characteristic transition of the Pr3＋ ion： 3P0→3F2 was observed at 657 nm. Li Y（Mo O4）2：Pr^3＋ red phosphors could be effectively excited by blue light emitting-diodes to emit red light; thus, acting as potential candidates for compensating the red light deficiency of cerium doped yttrium aluminum garnet yellow phosphor.

文摘A very-high color rendering index white organic light-emitting diode(WOLED) based on a simple structure was successfully fabricated. The optimized device exhibits a maximum total efficiency of 13.1 and 5.4 lm/W at 1,000 cd/m2. A peak color rendering index of 90 and a relatively stable color during a wide range of luminance were obtained. In addition, it was demonstrated that the 4,40,400-tri(9-carbazoyl) triphenylamine host influenced strongly the performance of this WOLED.These results may be beneficial to the design of both material and device architecture for high-performance WOLED.

文摘InGaN based light-emitting diodes （LEDs） with different electron blocking layers have been numerically investi- gated using the APSYS simulation software. It is found that the structure with a p-AlInN electron blocking layer showes improved light output power, lower current leakage, and smaller efficiency droop. Based on numerical simulation and analysis, these improvements of the electrical and optical characteristics are mainly attributed to the efficient electron blocking in the InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells （MQWs）.

文摘The AlGaN-based deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes（LED） with double electron blocking layers（d-EBLs） on both sides of the active region are investigated theoretically. They possess many excellent performances compared with the conventional structure with only a single electron blocking layer, such as a higher recombination rate, improved light output power and internal quantum efficiency（IQE）. The reasons can be concluded as follows. On the one hand, the weakened electrostatic field within the quantum wells（QWs） enhances the electron–hole spatial overlap in QWs, and therefore increases the probability of radioactive recombination. On the other hand, the added n-AlGaN layer can not only prevent holes from overflowing into the n-side region but also act as another electron source, providing more electrons.

文摘Metal halide perovskites have attracted tremendous interest due to their excellent optical and electrical properties,and they find many promising applications in the optoelectronic fields of solar cells,light-emitting diodes,and photodetectors.Thanks to the contributions of international researchers,significant progress has been made for perovskite light-emitting diodes(Pero-LEDs).The external quantum efficiencies(EQEs)of Pero-LEDs with emission of green,red,and near-infrared have all exceeded 20%.However,the blue Pero-LEDs still lag due to the poor film quality and deficient device structure.Herein,we summarize the strategies for preparing blue-emitting perovskites and categorize them into two:compositional engineering and size controlling of the emitting units.The advantages and disadvantages of both strategies are discussed,and a perspective of preparing high-performance blue-emitting perovskite is proposed.The challenges and future directions of blue PeroLEDs fabrication are also discussed.

文摘Light-emitting diodes based on lead halide perovskite have attracted great attention due to their outstanding performance.However,their application is plagued by the toxicity of Pb and the poor stability.Herein novel copper-based all inorganic perovskite CsCu2I3 with much enhanced stability has been reported with a potential photoluminescence quantum yield(PLQY)over 20%and self-trapped excitons(STE).By taking advantage of its extraordinary thermal stability,we successfully fabricate high-quality CsCu2I3 film through direct vacuum-based deposition(VBD)of CsCu2I3 powder.The resulting film shows almost the same PLQY with the synthesized powder,as well as excellent uniformity and stability.The perovskite light-emitting diodes(Pe-LED)based on the evaporated CsCu2I3 emitting layer achieve a luminescence of 10 cd/m2 and an external quantum efficiency(EQE)of 0.02%.To the best of our knowledge,this is the first CsCu2I3 Pe-LED fabricated by VBD with STE property,which offers a new avenue for lead-free Pe-LED.
