The effects of Mg-doping temperature on the structural and electrical properties of nonpolar p-type GaN films were investigated in detail. It is found that all the surface morphology, crystalline quality, strains, and electrical properties of nonpolar a-plane p-type GaN films are interconnected, and are closely related to the Mg-doping temperature. This means that a proper performance of nonpolar p-type GaN can be expected by optimizing the Mg-doping temperature. In fact, a hole concentration of 1.3×10^(18)cm^(-3), a high Mg activation efficiency of 6.5%,an activation energy of 114 me V for Mg acceptor, and a low anisotropy of 8.3% in crystalline quality were achieved with a growth temperature of 990℃. This approach to optimizing the Mg-doping temperature of the nonpolar a-plane p-type GaN film provides an effective way to fabricate high-efficiency optoelectronic devices in the future.展开更多

Lithium dihydrate, magnesium acetate and tetrabutyl titanate were used as the main raw materials. This study reveals that Mg^2+ has influences on the spherical structure, crystal development of Li4Ti5O12 and the electrochemical performances. The hollow spherical structure is composed of nano-sheet structure and the nano-sheet structure can be affected by the Mg^2+ content. For Li4-xMgxTi5 O12, the sheet structure can be refined with the increment of Mg^2+ content when x value is 0-0.1 and coarsen with the increment of Mg^2+ content when x value is 0.1-0.2. The hollow spherical Li4Ti5O12 powders prepared by hydrothermal method have better performance. The optimal Mgdoped amount of hydrothermal method is 0.1. At 0.1 C, the first discharge capacity of Li3.9Mg0.1Ti5O12 prepared through hydrothermal method at 0.1 C and 10 cycles is 182 and 178 mA hg^-1, respectively.展开更多

The electric field strength around the gate edge is effectively relieved and the surface electric field is distributed evenly as compared with those of HEMTs with conventional source-connected field plate and double field plate structures with the same device physical dimensions. Compared with the HEMTs with conventional sourceconnected field plates and double field plates, the HEMT with a Mg-doped layer also shows that the breakdown location shifts from the surface of the gate edge to the bulk Mg-doped layer edge. By optimizing both the length of Mg-doped layer, Lm, and the doping concentration, a 5.5 times and 3 times the reduction in the peak electric field near the drain side gate edge is observed as compared with those of the HEMTs with source-connected field plate structure and double field plate structure, respectively. In a device with VGS = -5 V, Lm 1.5 m, a peak Mg doping concentration of 8×10^17 cm-3 and a drift region length of 10 m, the breakdown voltage is observed to increase from 560 V in a conventional device without field plate structure to over 900 V without any area overhead penalty.展开更多

Emissions at 389nm and 57Ohm are observed under forward bias. An unusual emission at 390ram appears under reverse bias, and is attributed to the recombination in the p-GaN side of the heterojunction. The yellow emission peaked at 57Ohm is suppressed under reverse bias. The light intensity exponentially depends on the reverse current. The emission under reverse bias is correlated to tunnelling carrier transport in the heterostructure. Our results also support that the well-known yellow band of GaN comes from the transitions between some near-conduction-band-edge states and deep localized acceptor states.展开更多

It is observed that there exists the threshold effect of the magnesium dopant concentration in the measurements. The influence of the magnesium ion on the defect structure of magnesium-doped LiNbO3 crystal is studied by use of the defect chemistry. The formation of various defect lattices in the crystal at different magnesium dopant concentrations, their growth and decay rules are proposed. Calculations indicate that the defect lattice with Nb-site Mg2+ will be formed in a congruent LiNbO3 crystal when the MgO-doping level reaches 5.3%, which is taken as the main mark of the 'threshold'. The change caused by the 'threshold' in the ionic environment of the LiNbO3 crystal will serve to demonstrate the experimental results. And the calculation of the threshold concentration coincides with experiments. The conclusion in this paper can explain the reason for the drastic increase of anti-optical-damage capability in highly magnesium-doped LiNbO3. This is significant for the research on the modification of other ABO,-type electro-optic crystals.展开更多

文摘Li3Mg（2x）V（2-2x）（PO4）3/C（x=0,0.05,0.1,0.2） composites were synthesized by carbothermic reduction,using a self-made MgNH4PO4/MgHPO4 compound as Mg-doping agent.X-ray diffraction（XRD）,scanning electron microscope（SEM）,electrochemical performance tests were employed to investigate the effect of Mg doping on Li3V2（PO4）3/C samples.The results showed that a proper quantity of Mg doping was beneficial to the reduction of charge transfer resistance of Li3V2（PO4）3/C compound without changing the lattice structure,which led to larger charge/discharge capacity and better cycle performance especially at high current density.Li3Mg（2x）V（2-2x）（PO4）3/C sample with x=0.05 exhibited a better performance with initial charge/discharge capacity of146/128 mA·h/g and discharge capacity of 115 mA·h/g at 5C,while these two figures were 142/118 mA·h/g and 90 mA·h/g respectively for samples without Mg doping,indicating that a proper amount of doped Mg can improve the electrochemical performance of LVP sample.All of these proved that,as a trial Mg dopant,the synthesized MgNH4PO4/MgHPO4 compound exhibited well doping effect.

文摘The microstructure and performance of Li4Ti5O12 doped by Mg prepared by hydrothermal method and solid phase method were investigated. Lithium dihydrate, magnesium acetate and tetrabutyl titanate were used as the main raw materials. This study reveals that Mg^2+ has influences on the spherical structure, crystal development of Li4Ti5O12 and the electrochemical performances. The hollow spherical structure is composed of nano-sheet structure and the nano-sheet structure can be affected by the Mg^2+ content. For Li4-xMgxTi5 O12, the sheet structure can be refined with the increment of Mg^2+ content when x value is 0-0.1 and coarsen with the increment of Mg^2+ content when x value is 0.1-0.2. The hollow spherical Li4Ti5O12 powders prepared by hydrothermal method have better performance. The optimal Mgdoped amount of hydrothermal method is 0.1. At 0.1 C, the first discharge capacity of Li3.9Mg0.1Ti5O12 prepared through hydrothermal method at 0.1 C and 10 cycles is 182 and 178 mA hg^-1, respectively.
文摘A reduced surface electric field in an AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor （HEMT） is investigated by employing a localized Mg-doped layer under the two-dimensional electron gas （2-DEG） channel as an electric field shaping layer. The electric field strength around the gate edge is effectively relieved and the surface electric field is distributed evenly as compared with those of HEMTs with conventional source-connected field plate and double field plate structures with the same device physical dimensions. Compared with the HEMTs with conventional sourceconnected field plates and double field plates, the HEMT with a Mg-doped layer also shows that the breakdown location shifts from the surface of the gate edge to the bulk Mg-doped layer edge. By optimizing both the length of Mg-doped layer, Lm, and the doping concentration, a 5.5 times and 3 times the reduction in the peak electric field near the drain side gate edge is observed as compared with those of the HEMTs with source-connected field plate structure and double field plate structure, respectively. In a device with VGS = -5 V, Lm 1.5 m, a peak Mg doping concentration of 8×10^17 cm-3 and a drift region length of 10 m, the breakdown voltage is observed to increase from 560 V in a conventional device without field plate structure to over 900 V without any area overhead penalty.

文摘Electroluminescent characteristics of n-ZnO/p-GaN heterojunctions under forward and reverse biases are studied. Emissions at 389nm and 57Ohm are observed under forward bias. An unusual emission at 390ram appears under reverse bias, and is attributed to the recombination in the p-GaN side of the heterojunction. The yellow emission peaked at 57Ohm is suppressed under reverse bias. The light intensity exponentially depends on the reverse current. The emission under reverse bias is correlated to tunnelling carrier transport in the heterostructure. Our results also support that the well-known yellow band of GaN comes from the transitions between some near-conduction-band-edge states and deep localized acceptor states.

文摘The recovery and utilization of carbon dioxide(CO_(2))is the key to achieve the targets of peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality.The Na-CO_(2)battery made with cheap alkali metal sodium and greenhouse gas CO_(2)is an effective strategy to consume CO_(2)and store clean renewable energy.However,the liquid electrolyte volatilization in the open battery system and inevitable dendrite growth restrict the application of Na-CO_(2)batteries.In this work,magnesium-doped Na_(3)Zr_(2)Si_(2)PO_(12)(NZSP)was studied as a solid electrolyte for solid-state Na-CO_(2)batteries.The ionic conductivity of Na_(3.2)Zr_(1.9)Mg_(0.1)Si_(2)PO_(12)reaches 1.16 mS cm^(−1)at room temperature by replacing Zr ions in Na_(3.2)Zr_(1.9)Mg_(0.1)Si_(2)PO_(12)with Mg ions,and the structural changes are analyzed by neutron powder diffraction.The composite electrolyte consisting of highly conductive Na_(3.2)Zr_(1.9)Mg_(0.1)Si_(2)PO_(12)and high processability poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene)(PVDF-HFP)is utilized for the first time to assemble a solid-state Na-CO_(2)battery.The cell shows a full discharge capacity of 7720 mAh g^(−1)at 200 mA g^(−1).The middle gap voltage is lower than 2 V after 120 cycles at 200 mA g^(−1)and at a cut-off capacity of 500 mAh g^(−1).This work demonstrates a promising strategy to design high-performance solid-state Na-CO_(2)batteries.

文摘Traditional layered gradient scaffolds are susceptible to delamination owing to abrupt stress alterations,thereby rendering them inefficacious for the integrated repair of osteochondral defects.This study proposed a novel hydrogel possessing continuous magnetic-mechanical and multiple functional metal elements gradients.The establishment of these gradients within the hydrogel was accomplished by first applying a magnetic field to FMHM particles(Fe_(3)O_(4) deposited with Mg-doped hydroxyapatite(MgHA@Fe_(3)O_(4))and grafted withγ-(meth-acryloyloxy)propyl trimethoxysilane)dispersed in poly(ethylene glycol)diacrylate/sodium alginate solution to create a gradient,followed by thermal polymerization to achieve the magnetic and mechanical gradients.Subsequently secondary crosslinking with Mn^(2+)realized the gradient distribution of Mn^(2+)which was reverse to the gradient of MgHA@Fe_(3)O_(4).The on-demand gradient distributions of Mn^(2+)and MgHA@Fe_(3)O_(4) enhanced cartilage and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells,respectively.The continuous gradient hydrogel attained remarkable repair effects on full-thickness osteochondral defects in rat knee joints.Its capacity to foster the growth of both cartilage and subchondral bone may be associated with the fact that the mechanical gradient modulated the gradient nuclear localization and expression of the mechano-sensitive factor Yes-associated protein 1.With stiffness and magnetism gradients,along with the on-demand synergistic impacts of multi-gradient metal elements Mn-Fe/Mg/Ca,this hydrogel presents a prospective op-tion for the regeneration of tissues/interface tissues exhibiting physiological gradients.
文摘AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors(HEMTs) were grown on Si substrates by MOCVD.In the HEMT structure,a 1 μm GaN buffer layer was partially doped with Mg in an attempt to increase the resistivity and minimize the buffer leakage.The AlGaN/GaN HEMTs grown on undoped and partially Mg-doped GaN buffer layers were processed and the DC characteristics of the devices were characterized for comparing the effect of Mg doping.For the device with the partially Mg-doped GaN buffer layer,a lower drain leakage current density of 55.8 nA/mm,a lower gate leakage current density of 2.73 μA/mm,and a higher off-state breakdown voltage of 104 V were achieved with device dimensions Lg/Wg/Lgs/Lgd=1/10/1/1 μm,better than the device with the undoped GaN buffer layer,which has a higher drain leakage current density of 9.2 μA/mm,a higher gate leakage current density of 91.8 μA/mm,and a lower off-state breakdown voltage of 87 V with the same device dimensions.

文摘This paper presents measurements of OH- absorption bands, fundamental optical absorption edge, lattice parameters, density, color center absorption spectra and Fe3+ ESR spectra at room temperature for a series of magnesium-doped and iron-doped lithium nio-bate crystals, and their dependence on magnesium concentration. It is observed that there exists the threshold effect of the magnesium dopant concentration in the measurements. The influence of the magnesium ion on the defect structure of magnesium-doped LiNbO3 crystal is studied by use of the defect chemistry. The formation of various defect lattices in the crystal at different magnesium dopant concentrations, their growth and decay rules are proposed. Calculations indicate that the defect lattice with Nb-site Mg2+ will be formed in a congruent LiNbO3 crystal when the MgO-doping level reaches 5.3%, which is taken as the main mark of the 'threshold'. The change caused by the 'threshold' in the ionic environment of the LiNbO3 crystal will serve to demonstrate the experimental results. And the calculation of the threshold concentration coincides with experiments. The conclusion in this paper can explain the reason for the drastic increase of anti-optical-damage capability in highly magnesium-doped LiNbO3. This is significant for the research on the modification of other ABO,-type electro-optic crystals.

文摘Mechanically strong magnesium-doped Ca-silicate bioceramic scaffolds have many advantages in repairing large segmental bone defects.Herein we combine β-TCP with 6 mol%magnesium-doped calcium silicate(Mg6)at three different ratios(TCP,TCP+15%Mg6,TCP+85%Mg6)to find an appropriate ratio which can exert considerable influence on bone regeneration.In this study,the bioceramic scaffolds were assessed for mechanical strength,bioactive ion release,biocompatibility,and osteogenic capacity through in vitro testing.Additionally,the potential for promoting bone regeneration was investigated through in vivo implantation of porous tube-like scaffolds.The results showed that the compressive strength increased with the augmentation of Mg6 component.Especially the compressive strength of the TCP+85%Mg6 group reached 38.1±3.8 MPa,three times that of the other two groups.Furthermore,extensive in vivo investigations revealed that the TCP+85%Mg6 bioceramic scaffolds were particularly beneficial for the osteogenic capacity of critical-sized femoral defects(20 mm in length).Altogether,magnesium doping in bioceramic implants is a promising strategy to provide stronger mechanical support and enhance osteogenesis to accelerate the repair of large defects.
文摘This study explores the effects of magnesium(Mg)and lanthanum(La)doping on the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells(DSSCs)utilizing TiO_(2(98%))-ZrO_(2(2%))(TZ,TZM,and TZL)photoanodes.The photoanodes were fabricated using a spin-coating sol–gel method,followed by calcination at 400℃.The structural,morphological,crystallographic,and optical properties of the proposed photoanode composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction,transmission electron microscopy,and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy.The crystallite sizes of the synthesized thin films varied from 21.16 to 59.04 nm for the TZ,TZM,and TZL compositions.The current–voltage measurements of DSSCs based on TZL8 photoanode,cobalt sulfide-doped graphene counter electrode,and N719 dye revealed the highest efficiency of nearly 5.052%.The assembled DSSCs exhibited an open-circuit voltage of 0.74 V,a short-circuit current density of 9.964 mA/cm^(2),and a fill factor of 0.685.The enhancement in open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current density could be attributed to the improved electronic and microstructures of the proposed photoanodes.
