Firstly, the reduction in the partial P pillar charges ensures the charge balance and suppresses the substrate-assisted depletion effect. Secondly, the new electric field peak produced by the P/P junction modulates the surface electric field distribution. Both of these result in a high breakdown voltage （BV）. In addition, due to the same conduction paths, the specific on-resistance （Ron,sp） of the PD SJ-LDMOS is approximately identical to the conventional SJ-LDMOS. Simulation results indicate that the average value of the surface lateral electric field of the PD SJ-LDMOS reaches 20 V/μm at a 15 μm drift length, resulting in a BV of 300 V.展开更多

The proposed model takes into account the effects of the LDD region length, the LDD region doping, the lengths of the gate materials and their respective work functions, along with all the major geometrical parameters of the MOSFET. The impact of the LDD region length, the LDD region doping, and the channel length on the channel potential is studied in detail. Furthermore, the threshold voltage of the device is calculated using the minimum middle channel potential, and the result obtained is compared with the DMG MOSFET threshold voltage to show the improvement in the threshold voltage roll-off. It is shown that the DMG-LDD MOSFET structure alleviates the problem of short channel effects （SCEs） and the drain induced barrier lowering （DIBL） more efficiently. The proposed model is verified by comparing the theoretical results with the simulated data obtained by using the commercially available ATLASTM 2D device simulator.展开更多

This is also the most cost-effective practice to improve a product performance using the same technology without the need to procure alternative or expensive raw materials or by adopting advanced solar cell processing techniques. Aluminium Back Surface Field (Al-BSF) technology using multi-crystalline wafers (mc-Si) had been a well-established and a dominant product in the solar industry for more than two decades. However, as the industry progresses, the demand for high efficiency solar cells and modules started going up and full area Aluminium BSF based cells suffers from a lot of inherent limitations on cell efficiency. This is primarily due to the intrinsic high density of crystal lattice defects or otherwise called as grain boundary defects present dominantly only in mc-Si wafers. These grain boundaries tends to accumulate several defects and become trap centres which cause high recombination for minority carriers thereby exhibiting lower conversion efficiency and higher dispersion in electrical parameters in batches of tested cells. Years of research using this material have helped to derive the maximum benefits using this mc-Si wafer in producing industrial full area BSF cells and we can say with certainty that the efficiency potential has reached the saturation point with this technology. An interesting development that happened in the area of improving the final product performance using mc-Si wafers at both cell and module level, is by replacing the conventional acid texturing process with an introduction of a nano-texturing process called Metal Catalysed Chemical Etching (MCCE) using specialized chemicals which improves the light trapping capabilities by creation of inverted pyramid texture on the silicon wafer surface and thereby enabling the wafers to absorb sunlight over a broader range of wavelength and incident angle. With this development done in mc-Si wafers in recent past, it is still a daunting task to surpass cell efficiencies beyond 19.0% using this wafer source. Hence for cell manufacturing lines which use mc-Si wafers, there is always a constant need to improve the cell manufacturing processes to reduce the impact of poor intrinsic quality of mc-Si wafers and improve the final product performance without adding any significant cost factor.展开更多

Moreover, the defect particles are observed as periodic particles for a more complex situation. In order to obtain the scattering contribution of defects inside the optical surface, a difference radar cross section is added into the model to analyze the selected calculations on the effects of numbers, separation distances, different depths and different materials of defects. The effects of different incident angles are also discussed. The numerical results are analyzed in detail to demonstrate the best position to find the defects in the optical surface by detecting in steps of a fixed degree for the incident angle.展开更多

文摘In this study,sawdust served as a carbon source and urea as a nitrogen source to synthesize carbonsupported,nitrogen-doped TiO_(2)composites via a one-pot solvothermal method.The composites were characterized using FTIR,powder X-ray diffraction,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy,thermogravimetry-derivative thermogravimetry,scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy,and transmission electron microscopy.Results indicated that all synthesized composites exhibit the anatase phase,with those calcined at 800℃ demonstrating enhanced crystallinity.Nitrogen is incorporated into the TiO_(2)lattice,while carbon is predominantly located on the surface.Photodegradation experiments showed that 20 mg of composite N-TiO_(2)/C-800 achieved degradation rates of 93.4% for methylene blue(20 mg·L^(-1),50 mL)and 99.4% for oxytetracycline(20 mg·L^(-1),50 mL)within 30 min.Free radical capture experiments indicated that h+was the primary active species in the photocatalytic degradation process.
文摘In recent years,the demand for synchronous acquisition of three-dimensional(3D)shape and col-or texture has surged in fields such as cultural heritage preservation and healthcare.Addressing this need,this paper proposes a novel method for simultaneous 3D shape and color texture capture.First,a linear model correlating camera exposure time with grayscale values is established.Through exposure time calibration,the projected red,green and blue(RGB)light and white-light grayscale values captured by a monochrome cam-era are aligned.Then,three sets of color fringes are projected onto the object to identify optimal pixels for 3D reconstruction.And,three pure-color patterns are projected to synthesize the color texture.Experimental res-ults show that this method effectively achieves synchronous 3D shape and color texture acquisition,offering high speed and precision,and avoids color crosstalk interference common in 3D reconstruction of colored ob-jects using a monochrome camera.
文摘High-performance deep-blue emitters that meet the BT.2020 standard proposed by the International Telecommunication Union(ITU)for organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs)remain highly limited.In this work,four deep-blue emitters,PP1M,PP2M,PP3M,and PP4M,are designed and synthesized by connecting methylsubstituted biphenyl groups with classical hot exciton building block of phenanthreneimidazole.The introduction of methyl groups contributes to increase the molecular torsion angle and widen the energy gaps for the four compounds.Through appropriate modulation of substitution site,PP3M achieves the highest photoluminescence quantum yield of 85.3%in neat film.As a result,the PP3M-based device exhibits deep-blue light with external quantum efficiency of 7.2%and suppressed efficiency roll-off.The device also shows a small full width at half maximum of 53 nm and the CIE coordinates locate at(0.16,0.04),meeting well with the BT.2020 standard.The high exciton utilization efficiency is primarily ascribed to the hot exciton pathway.This study provides a reliable insight for the design of efficient deep-blue OLEDs with high color purity.
文摘A series of blue and blue‑green Ir(Ⅲ)complexes has been investigated theoretically to explore their electronic structures,photophysical properties,efficiency roll‑off effect,and thermal activation delayed fluorescence(TADF)properties.All calculations were performed using density functional theory(DFT)and time‑dependent density functional theory(TDDFT).Calculations for electronic structures,frontier molecular orbital characteristics(which determine the efficiency roll‑off effect of the complexes),and photophysical properties were conducted using the Gaussian 09 software package.The calculation of spin‑orbit coupling matrix elements<T|HSOC|S>,which determine the TADF properties of the complexes,was performed using the ORCA software package.The calculation results show that the auxiliary ligand tetraphenylimidodiphosphinate(tpip),a strong electron‑withdrawing group,can mitigate the efficiency roll‑off effect of the complex.Furthermore,TADF is observed in one of the designed complexes,(F_(3)Phppy)_(2)Ir(tpip),where F_(3)Phppy=2‑[4‑(2,4,6‑trifluorophenyl)phenyl]pyridine.

文摘As a pivotal environmental factor,light,comprising intensity,photoperiod,and spectrum,governs the entire life cycle of strawberries by mediating alterations in the plant’s morphological,physiological,and biochemical traits.Although extensive research has been conducted on light-mediated growth regulation in horticultural crops,most reviews focus primarily on leafy and fruiting vegetables,with limited attention given to berry crops such as strawberries.Additionally,most existing reviews concentrate on one or several growth stages,failing to systematically characterize light’s effects throughout the entire growth cycle and postharvest stage.This review briefly summarizes the regulatory roles of light across key stages of strawberry growth,including seedling propagation,vegetative growth,reproductive growth,and postharvest stages.It seeks to address the knowledge gap by systematically organizing research findings across these developmental phases.The integrated analysis provides a theoretical foundation for designing stage-specific lighting strategies to improve strawberry yield and quality.

文摘Although multicrystalline Si photovoltaics have been extensively studied and applied in the collection of solar energy,the same systems suffer significant efficiency losses in indoor settings,where ambient light conditions are considerably smaller in intensity and possess greater components of non-normal incidence.Yet,indoor light-driven,stand-alone devices can offer sustainable advances in next-generation technologies such as the Internet of Things.Here,we present a non-invasive solution to aid in photovoltaic indoor light collection—radially distributed waveguide-encoded lattice(RDWEL)slim films(thickness 1.5 mm).Embedded with a monotonical radial array of cylindrical waveguides(±20°),the RDWEL demonstrates seamless light collection(FoV(fields of view)=74.5°)and imparts enhancements in JSC(short circuit current density)of 44%and 14%for indoor and outdoor lighting conditions,respectively,when coupled to a photovoltaic device and compared to an unstructured but otherwise identical slim film coating.

文摘The application of poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)(PBAT)biodegradable plastics has long been constrained by insufficient light aging resistance.Hindered amine light stabilizers(HALSs),known as eco-friendly additives,can scavenge free radicals to enhance polymer durability.However,rough choices have resulted in wastage of resources and environmental pressure.Based on the application of plastic films as the background for use,this study systematically evaluates application effects of five HALSs.The films underwent accelerated aging for various durations and were further investigated by a combination of experiments and molecular simulation.Results showed that all HALSs mitigated PBAT light aging,with Chimassorb-944(UV-944)and Tinuvin-770(UV-770)performing the best for real applications.Quantum chemical calculation results showed that UV-944 had stronger anti migration ability.After 300 h of aging,films with UV-944 and UV-770 retained superior tensile strength and elongation at break in the transverse direction compared to neat PBAT films.Polymeric HALSs provided better long-term stability than small-molecule ones.Further spectra analysis indicated that stronger C―O bonds in HALS/PBAT composites correlated with improved photostability.This study offers valuable insights into improving weather resistance of PBAT biodegradable films and optimizing the real application of HALSs.

文摘A diverse range of light and waves,spanning from near-infrared to ultraviolet,alongside ultrasound,have proven effective in propelling nanomotors.This review encapsulates the advancements in nanomotor research propelled by waves of varying frequencies.It delves into the driving mechanisms and control methodologies of different nanomotor types,emphasizing the role of frequency.Nanomotors can be classified based on the frequency of the driving wave,encompassing ultraviolet light-driven,visible light-driven,near-infrared-driven,and ultrasounddriven variants.Each category corresponds to distinct propulsion mechanisms,including momentum transfer,photothermal effects,self-electrophoresis,and acoustic radiation force.Notably,visible light and near-infrared radiation predominantly propel momentum transfer nanomotors,while photothermal nanomotors are chiefly active within the infrared spectrum.Ultraviolet light drives most self-electrophoretic nanomotors,while ultrasound-driven nanomotors respond to acoustic radiation force.Furthermore,precise control over nanomotor speed and direction is achievable by adjusting the frequency of incident waves within a narrow range,modulating wave absorption rates.Lastly,this paper explores microwave nanomotors,an area yet to be reported,shedding light on potential driving mechanisms.

文摘Improving device efficiency is fundamental for advancing energy harvesting technology,particularly in systems designed to convert light energy into electrical output.In our previous studies,we developed a basic structure light pressure electric generator(Basic-LPEG),which utilized a layered configuration of Ag/Pb(Zr,Ti)O_(3)(PZT)/Pt/GaAs to generate electricity based on light-induced pressure on the PZT.In this study,we sought to enhance the performance of this Basic-LPEG by introducing Ag nanoparticles/graphene oxide(AgNPs/GO)composite units(NP-LPEG),creating upgraded harvesting device.Specifically,by depositing the AgNPs/GO units twice onto the Basic-LPEG,we observed an increase in output voltage and current from 241 mV and 3.1μA to 310 mV and 9.3μA,respectively,under a solar simulator.The increase in electrical output directly correlated with the intensity of the light pressure impacting the PZT,as well as matched the Raman measurements,finite-difference time-domain simulations,and COMSOL Multiphysics Simulation.Experimental data revealed that the enhancement in electrical output was proportional to the number of hot spots generated between Ag nanoparticles,where the electric field experienced substantial amplification.These results underline the effectiveness of AgNPs/GO units in boosting the light-induced electric generation capacity,thereby providing a promising pathway for high-efficiency energy harvesting devices.

文摘Anthocyanin biosynthesis in plants is spatiotemporally controlled by a suite of transcription factors,with MYB proteins playing a key regulatory role.However,the evolution of the distinct roles of MYB paralogs remains poorly understood.Our previous studies have established GmMYBA2 and GmMYBA3 as the regulators of seed coat and floral anthocyanin production in soybean(Glycine max),respectively.In this study,we reveal the functional divergence of their paralog GmMYBA1 in orchestrating light-responsive anthocyanin biosynthesis in juvenile tissues and stems.In brief,hypocotyl/stem-and young leaf-predominant expression of GmMYBA1 correlates with photoprotective anthocyanin accumulation.Ectopic overexpression of GmMYBA1 induces systemic pigmentation across leaves,stems,and reproductive organs,whereas RNAi-mediated silencing of GmMYBA1 significantly reduces anthocyanin accumulation in the hypocotyl.Light-dark shift assays confirmed that GmMYBA1 is required for hypocotyl pigmentation,while dual-luciferase assays revealed the specific regulation of the GmMYBA paralogs by GmSTF1/2(soybean TGACG-motif binding factor 1/2).GmSTF1/2 both activate GmMYBA1,with only GmSTF2 weakly inducing GmMYBA2 and neither affecting GmMYBA3.Further investigation indicated that the differential transactivation of GmMYBA promoters largely resulted from their cis-element difference,suggesting regulatory divergence as a driver of MYB paralog diversification.Our findings position GmMYBA1 as the central MYB activator integrating light signaling with anthocyanin biosynthesis,with paralog specialization reflecting evolutionary subfunctionalization post-gene duplication.
