This involves using specific detectors with respective diagnostic beams to carry out quality control/quality assurance tests needed to optimize patient doses in the hospital. Semiconductor detectors are used in dosimetry to verify the equipment performance and dose to patients. This work aims to assess the performance, energy dependence, and response of five commercially available semiconductor detectors in RQR, RQR-M, RQA, and RQT at Secondary Standard Dosimetry for clinical applications. The diagnostic beams were generated using Exradin A4 reference ion chamber and PTW electrometer. The ambient temperature and pressure were noted for KTP correction. The detectors designed for RQR showed good performance in RQT beams and vice versa. The detectors designed for RQR-M displayed high energy dependency in other diagnostic beams. The type of diagnostic beam quality determines the response of semiconductor detectors. Therefore, a detector should be calibrated according to the beam qualities to be measured.展开更多

文摘Although there are numerous optical spectroscopy techniques and methods that have been used to extract the fundamental bandgap of a semiconductor,most of them belong to one of these three approaches:(1)the excitonic absorption,(2)modulation spectroscopy,and(3)the most widely used Tauc-plot.The excitonic absorption is based on a many-particle theory,which is physically the most correct approach,but requires more stringent crystalline quality and appropriate sample preparation and experimental implementation.The Tauc-plot is based on a single-particle theo⁃ry that neglects the many-electron effects.Modulation spectroscopy analyzes the spectroscopy features in the derivative spectrum,typically,of the reflectance and transmission under an external perturbation.Empirically,the bandgap ener⁃gy derived from the three approaches follow the order of E_(ex)>E_(MS)>E_(TP),where three transition energies are from exci⁃tonic absorption,modulation spectroscopy,and Tauc-plot,respectively.In principle,defining E_(g) as the single-elec⁃tron bandgap,we expect E_(g)>E_(ex),thus,E_(g)>E_(TP).In the literature,E_(TP) is often interpreted as E_(g),which is conceptual⁃ly problematic.However,in many cases,because the excitonic peaks are not readily identifiable,the inconsistency be⁃tween E_(g) and E_(TP) becomes invisible.In this brief review,real world examples are used(1)to illustrate how excitonic absorption features depend sensitively on the sample and measurement conditions;(2)to demonstrate the differences between E_(ex),E_(MS),and E_(TP) when they can be extracted simultaneously for one sample;and(3)to show how the popular⁃ly adopted Tauc-plot could lead to misleading results.Finally,it is pointed out that if the excitonic absorption is not ob⁃servable,the modulation spectroscopy can often yield a more useful and reasonable bandgap than Tauc-plot.
文摘Radiation doses to patients in diagnostics and interventional radiology need to be optimized to comply with the principles of radiation protection in medical practice. This involves using specific detectors with respective diagnostic beams to carry out quality control/quality assurance tests needed to optimize patient doses in the hospital. Semiconductor detectors are used in dosimetry to verify the equipment performance and dose to patients. This work aims to assess the performance, energy dependence, and response of five commercially available semiconductor detectors in RQR, RQR-M, RQA, and RQT at Secondary Standard Dosimetry for clinical applications. The diagnostic beams were generated using Exradin A4 reference ion chamber and PTW electrometer. The ambient temperature and pressure were noted for KTP correction. The detectors designed for RQR showed good performance in RQT beams and vice versa. The detectors designed for RQR-M displayed high energy dependency in other diagnostic beams. The type of diagnostic beam quality determines the response of semiconductor detectors. Therefore, a detector should be calibrated according to the beam qualities to be measured.

文摘Semiconductors and related fields today hold vast application prospects.The semiconductor wafer fabrication process involves steps such as substrate preparation and epitaxy,which occur in high-temperature corrosive environments.Consequently,components like crucibles,susceptors and wafer carriers require carbon-based materials such as graphite and carbon-carbon composites.However,traditional carbon materials underperform in these extreme conditions,failing to effectively address the challenges.This leads to issues including product contamination and shortened equipment lifespan.Therefore,effective protection of carbon materials is crucial.This paper reviews current research status on the preparation methods and properties of corrosion-resistant coatings within relevant domestic and international fields.Preparation methods include various techniques such as physical vapor deposition(PVD),chemical vapor deposition(CVD)and the sol-gel method.Furthermore,it offers perspectives on future research directions for corrosion-resistant coated components in semiconductor equipment.These include exploring novel coating materials,improving coating preparation processes,enhancing coating corrosion resistance,as well as further investigating the interfacial interactions between coatings and carbon substrates to achieve better adhesion and compatibility.

文摘Organic semiconductor materials have shown unique advantages in the development of optoelectronic devices due to their ease of preparation,low cost,lightweight,and flexibility.In this work,we explored the application of the organic semiconductor Y6-1O single crystal in photodetection devices.Firstly,Y6-1O single crystal material was prepared on a silicon substrate using solution droplet casting method.The optical properties of Y6-1O material were characterized by polarized optical microscopy,fluorescence spectroscopy,etc.,confirming its highly single crystalline performance and emission properties in the near-infrared region.Phototransistors based on Y6-1O materials with different thicknesses were then fabricated and tested.It was found that the devices exhibited good visible to near-infrared photoresponse,with the maximum photoresponse in the near-infrared region at 785 nm.The photocurrent on/off ratio reaches 10^(2),and photoresponsivity reaches 16 mA/W.It was also found that the spectral response of the device could be regulated by gate voltage as well as the material thickness,providing important conditions for optimizing the performance of near-infrared photodetectors.This study not only demonstrates the excellent performance of organic phototransistors based on Y6-1O single crystal material in near-infrared detection but also provides new ideas and directions for the future development of infrared detectors.

文摘The relatively lower performance of n-type legs has significantly hindered the application of PbTe ma-terials in medium-temperature thermoelectric(TE)power generation,underscoring the urgent need to enhance the TE performance of n-type PbTe.In this study,electron-phonon decoupling was achieved through the precise manipulation of a single copper-doping element in PbTe(i.e.,Pb_(1.005-x)Cu_(2 x+0.003)Te),enabling the concurrent optimization of phonon transport and electrical properties.High-content Cu dop-ing induced substantial lattice strain and abundant precipitates,which effectively scattered heat-carrying phonons and significantly reduced lattice thermal conductivity.Simultaneously,the retention of high mo-bility and the self-regulation of electron concentration improved electrical performance across a broad temperature range.As a result,an impressive average zT of 1.3 was achieved from 523 to 823 K in n-type Pb_(0.985)Cu_(0.043)Te.Building on this,a seven-pair TE module was fabricated,attaining an energy conversion efficiency of∼8%under a temperature difference of 420 K.This work provides fresh insights into strate-gies for enhancing the TE performance of n-type PbTe.

文摘Due to its ability to convert body heat into electricity,organic thermoelectric material is considered a promising and smart maintenance-free power source to charge wearable electronics.However,developing flexible n-type organic thermoelectric materials and wearable p/n junction thermoelectric devices remains challenging.In this work,two insulated polyamides(PA6 and PA66)that have been widely used as fiber materials are employed as novel dopants for converting p-type single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWCNTs)to n-type thermoelectric materials.Because of the electron transferability of the amide group,polyamide-doped SWCNTs exhibit excellent thermopower values as large as-56.0μV K^(-1) for PA66,and-54.5μV K^(-1) for PA6.Thermoelectric devices with five p/n junctions connected in series are fabricated.The testing device produces a thermoelectric voltage of 43.1 mV and generates 1.85μW thermoelectric power under temperature gradients of approximately 80 K.Furthermore,they display charming capability for temperature recognition and monitoring human activities as sensors.These promising results suggest that the flexible polyamide-doped SWCNT composites herein have high application potential as wearable thermoelectric electronics.

文摘Realizing ferromagnetic semiconductors with high Curie temperature TC is still a challenge in spintronics.Recent experiments have reported two-dimensional(2D)room temperature ferromagnetic metals,such as monolayer Cr_(3)Te_(6).In this paper,through density functional theory(DFT)calculations,we propose a method to obtain 2D high TC ferromagnetic semiconductors through element replacement in these ferromagnetic metals.We predict that monolayer(Cr_(4/6),Mo_(2/6))_(3)Te_(6),created via element replacement in monolayer Cr_(3)Te_(6),is a room-temperature ferromagnetic semiconductor exhibiting a band gap of 0.34 eV and a TC of 384 K.Our analysis reveals that the metal-to-semiconductor transition stems from the synergistic interplay of Mo-induced lattice distortion,which resolves band overlap,and the electronic contributions of Mo dopants,which further drive the formation of a distinct band gap.The origin of the high TC is traced to strong superexchange coupling between magnetic ions,analyzed via the superexchange model with DFT and Wannier function calculations.Considering the fast developments in fabrication and manipulation of 2D materials,our theoretical results propose an approach to explore high-temperature ferromagnetic semiconductors derived from experimentally obtained 2D high-temperature ferromagnetic metals through element replacement.

文摘The effect of intermetallic particles on the corrosion of 6061 aluminum alloy and its coating used in semiconductor processing systems was systematically studied via liquid and gas experiments and micromorphology characterization.The results revealed that a huge difference of corrosion resistance between imported and domestic 6061 aluminum alloys in HCl solution and gas acid mist experiments mainly was attributed to the different size and amount of Al_(15)(Fe,Mn)_(3)Si_(2).The corrosion resistance of domestic 6061 alloy in dry/wet semiconductor electronic special gas environments was worse than that of imported aluminum alloy,and there are great differences in the corrosion mechanism of 6061 alloy caused by the second phase in the two dry/wet environments.And the corrosion resistance of the hard anodized alumina film was closely related to the microscopic morphology of holes.The vertical and elongatedα-Al_(15)(Mn,Fe)_(3)Si_(2) phase was formed in the rolled aluminum alloy that has been rolled perpendicular to the surface of the substrate.Compared to the horizontal long hole,the longitudinal long holes generated by the verticalα-Al_(15)(Mn,Fe)_(3)Si_(2) phase will enable the corrosive medium to reach the substrate rapidly,which significantly weakens the corrosion resistance of the hard anodized film.
文摘All-inorganic CsPbBr_(3) perovskite quantum dots(QDs)have attracted extensive attention in photoelectric detection for their excellent photoelectric properties and stability.However,the CsPbBr_(3) quantum dot film exhibits a high non-radiative recombination rate,and the mismatch in energy levels with the carbon electrode weakens hole extraction efficiency.These reduces the device's performance.To improve this,a semiconductor photodetector based on fluorine-doped tin oxide(FTO)/dense titanium dioxide(c-TiO_(2))/mesoporous titanium dioxide(m-TiO_(2))/CsPbBr_(3) QDs/CsPbBr_(x)I_(3-x)(x=2,1.5,1)QDs/C struc-ture was studied.By adjusting the Br-:I-ratio,the synthesized CsPbBr_(x)I_(3-x)(x=2,1.5,1)QDs showed an adjustable band gap width of 2.284-2.394 eV.And forming a typeⅡband structure with CsPbBr_(3) QDs,which reduced the valence band offset between the active layer and the carbon electrode,this promoted carrier extraction and reduced non-radiative recombination rate.Compared with the original device(the photosensitive layer is CsPbBr_(3) QDs),the performance of the photodetector based on the CsPbBr_(3) QDs/CsPbBr2I QDs heterostructure is significantly improved,the responsivity(R)increased by 73%,the specific detectivity rate(D^(*))increased from 6.98×10^(12) to 3.19×10^(13) Jones,the on/off ratio reached 106.This study provides a new idea for the development of semiconductor tandem detectors.

文摘We report the manipulation of ferromagnetism in magnetic semiconductor Ba(Zn,Mn,Cu)_(2)As_(2)through chemical pressure.The substitutions of Sr for Ba and Sb for As introduce positive and negative chemical pressures,respectively;neither Sr doping nor Sb doping change the tetragonal crystal structure.Based on Ba(Zn_(0.75)Mn_(0.125)Cu_(0.125))_(2)As_(2)with T_(C)~34 K,10%Sr/Ba substitutions significantly improve T_(C)by~15%to 39 K,whereas 10%Sb/As substitutions substantially reduce TCby~47%to 18 K.The AC magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate that Sr-doped and Sb-doped samples evolve into a spin glass state below the spin freezing temperature Tf.Electrical transport measurements demonstrate that Sr-doped specimens retain semiconducting behavior;additionally,they display a significant negative magnetoresistance effect under applied magnetic fields and the magnetoresistance reaches~-19%at 8 T.

文摘TiO_(2)is a well-known photocatalyst with a band gap of 3.2 eV,yet its ability to absorb light is limited to the short wavelengths of ultraviolet light.To achieve a more effective photocatalytic material,we have designed two-dimensional semiconductor TiOS materials using swarm intelligence algorithms combined with first-principles calculations.Three stable low-energy structures with space groups of P2_(1)/m,P3m1 and P2_(1)/c are identified.Among these structures,the Janus P3m1 phase is a direct bandgap semiconductor,while the P2_(1)/m and P2_(1)/c phases are indirect bandgap semiconductors.Utilizing the accurate hybrid density functional HSE06 method,the band gaps of the three structures are calculated to be 2.34 eV(P2_(1)/m),2.24 eV(P3m1)and 3.22 eV(P2_(1)/c).Optical calculations reveal that TiOS materials exhibit a good light-harvesting capability in both visible and ultraviolet spectral ranges.Moreover,the photocatalytic calculations also indicate that both P2_(1)/m and P3m1 TiOS can provide a strong driving force for converting H_(2)O to H_(2)and O_(2)in an acidic environment with pH=0.The structural stabilities,mechanical properties,electronic structures and hydrogen evolution reaction activities are also discussed in detail.Our research suggests that two-dimensional TiOS materials have potential applications in both semiconductor devices and photocatalysis.

文摘The fracture mechanics theory posits that cracks induce strain energy concentration near their tips in structural components,generating localized flexibility that impedes crack propagation.Theoretically,cracks are represented as dimensionless,massless spring models,effectively capturing crack characteristics and cross-sectional properties at the crack location.Leveraging this spring-based representation,this study establishes an open-crack model for a one-dimensional(1D)piezoelectric semiconductor(PSC)curved beam under dynamic loading.This model enables the investigation of vibration characteristics in cracked structures.The analytical solutions for the electromechanical fields of the beam are derived using the differential operator method,and the natural frequencies together with the corresponding generalized mode shapes of the beam are determined analytically.Furthermore,the effects of the crack parameters on the natural vibration characteristics of the PSC curved beam are analyzed.

文摘Doping plays a pivotal role in enhancing the performance of organic semiconductors(OSCs)for advanced optoelectronic and thermoelectric applications.In this study,we systematically investigated the doping performance and applicability of the ionic dopant 4-isopropyl-4′-methyldiphenyliodonium tetrakis(penta-fluorophenyl-borate)(DPI-TPFB)as a p-dopant for OSCs.Using the p-type OSC PBBT-2T as a model system,we demonstrated that DPI-TPFB shows significant doping effect,as confirmed by ESR spectra,ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared(UV-vis-NIR)absorption,and work function analysis,and enhances the electronic conductivity of PBBT-2T films by over four orders of magnitude.Furthermore,DPI-TPFB exhibited broad doping applicability,effectively doping various p-type OSCs and even imparting p-type characteristics to the n-type OSC N2200,transforming its intrinsic n-type behavior into p-type.The application of DPI-TPFB-doped PBBT-2T films in organic thermoelectric devices(OTEs)was also explored,achieving a power factor of approximately 10μW·m^(-1)·K^(-2).These findings highlight the potential of DPI-TPFB as a versatile and efficient dopant for integration into organic optoelectronic and thermoelectric devices.
