The OIDs doping with typical red phosphorescent dye [tris（1-phenylisoquinoline）iridium（Ⅲ）, Ir（piq）3], orange phosphorescent dye {bis[2-（4-tertbutylphenyl）benzothiazolato-N,C-（2＇）]iridium（acetylacetonate）,（tbt）2 Ir（acac）}, and blue phosphorescent dye [bis（2, 4-di-fluorophenylpyridinato）-tetrakis（1-pyrazolyl）borate iridium（Ⅲ）, FIr6] were investigated and compared. The（tbt）2 Ir（acac）-doped orange device showed better performance than those of red and blue devices, which was ascribed to more effective energy transfer. Meanwhile, at a low dopant concentration of 3 wt.%, the（tbt）2 Ir（acac）-doped OIDs showed the maximum luminance, current efficiency, power efficiency of 70786 cd/m^2, 39.55 cd/A, and 23.92 lm/W, respectively, and a decent detectivity of 1.07 × 10^11 Jones at a bias of -2 V under the UV-350 nm illumination.

Finally, we establish a testing platform to carry out experiments, and a standard TDI CCD is calibrated by using the proposed method. The experimental results show that the noise analysis and measurement methods presented in this paper are useful for modeling TDI CCDs.展开更多

文摘Planar lightwave circuit(PLC)splitters have long been foundational components in passive optical communication networks,achieving commercial success since the 1990s.However,their inherent fixed splitting ratios impose significant limitations on capacity expansion,often requiring physical replacement and causing service disruptions.Thermally tunable optical splitters address this challenge by enabling adjustable splitting ratios,but their operation is contingent upon a continuous power supply and complex driving systems.In this work,we present a novel,non-volatile tunable PLC platform based on Sb_(2)S_(3)phase-change materials.The proposed device,which incor-porates a Mach-Zehnder interferometer(MZI)optical switch structure,offers tunable splitting ratios via laser-direct writing or ohmic heating,providing flexible reconfiguration capabilities.Experimental results demonstrate non-volatile power splitting ranging from 50∶50 to 20∶80,with a modest increase of approximately 1 dB in additional loss.This work highlights the potential of the proposed platform for low-power,high-efficiency,and reconfigurable photonic networks.

文摘Time delay and integration （TDI） charge coupled device （CCD） noise sets a fundamental limit on image sensor performance, especially under low illumination in remote sensing applications. After introducing the complete sources of CCD noise, we study the effects of TDI operation mode on noise, and the relationship between different types of noise and number of the TDI stage. Then we propose a new technique to identify and measure sources of TDI CCD noise employing mathematical statistics theory, where theoretical analysis shows that noise estimated formulation converges well. Finally, we establish a testing platform to carry out experiments, and a standard TDI CCD is calibrated by using the proposed method. The experimental results show that the noise analysis and measurement methods presented in this paper are useful for modeling TDI CCDs.

文摘Skin-like electronics research aiming to mimic even surpass human-like specific tactile cognition by operating perception-to-cognition-to-feedback of stimulus to build intelligent cognition systems for certain imperceptible or inappreciable signals was so attractive.Herein,we constructed an all-in-one tri-modal pressure sensing wearable device to address the issue of power supply by integrating multistage microstructured ionic skin(MM i-skin)and thermoelectric self-power staffs,which exhibits high sensitivity simultaneously.The MM i-skin with multi-stage“interlocked”configurations achieved precise recognition of subtle signals,where the sensitivity reached up to 3.95 kPa^(−1),as well as response time of 46 ms,cyclic stability(over 1500 cycles),a wide detection range of 0–200 kPa.Furthermore,we developed the thermoelectricity nanogenerator,piezoelectricity nanogenerator,and piezocapacitive sensing as an integrated tri-modal pressure sensing,denoted as P-iskin,T-iskin,and C-iskin,respectively.This multifunctional ionic skin enables real-time monitoring of weak body signals,rehab guidance,and robotic motion recognition,demonstrating potential for Internet of things(IoT)applications involving the artificial intelligence-motivated sapiential healthcare Internet(SHI)and widely distributed human-machine interaction(HMI).

文摘Chiral chemicals have attracted significant interest in the pharmaceutical industry,yet the separation methods to get pure enantiomers from racemic mixture are still challenging.To date,the separation of enantiomers still mainly depends on chromatography using high-cost chiral stationary phases.Herein,wood channels were used as the handheld integrated device,and enantiomer separation was simultaneously detected using an electrochemical detector.In this method,a chiral UIO-66(L-UIO-66)modified enantiomer separation zone and carbonized wood based online detection zone are integrated along a single wood column.Based on the in situ separation results from the chronoamperometry data,the wood device shows excellent separation ability for a wide range of electrochemically active enantiomers,including 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine,amino acids,ascorbic acid,carnitine,and penicillamine with high chirality purity.The unbiased molecular dynamic simulations indicate that the excellent chiral recognition and separation are attributed to the different barriers from the bound states to the dissociated state of the enantiomers in the homochiral microenvironment of the framework.This integrated enantiomer separation-electrochemical detection device provides a novel,easy,and low-cost platform for the separation of pure enantiomer from racemic mixture.

文摘Optical mode converters are essential for enhancing the capacity of optical communication systems. However, fabrication errors restrict the further improvement of conventional mode converters. To address this challenge, we have designed an on-chip TE0–TE1mode converter based on topologically protected waveguide arrays. The simulation results demonstrate that the converter exhibits a mode coupling efficiency of 93.5% near 1550 nm and can tolerate a relative fabrication error of 30%. Our design approach can be extended to enhance the robustness for other integrated photonic devices, beneficial for future development of optical network systems.

文摘As a clean and renewable energy source,solar energy is a competitive alternative to replace conventional fossil fuels.Nevertheless,its serious fluctuating nature usually leads to a poor alignment with the actual energy demand.To solve this problem,the direct solar-to-electrochemical energy conversion and storage have been regarded as a feasible strategy.In this context,the development of high-performance integrated devices based on solar energy conversion parts(i.e.,solar cells or photoelectrodes)and electrochemical energy storage units(i.e.,rechargeable batteries or supercapacitors[SCs])has become increasingly necessary and urgent,in which carbon and carbon-based functional materials play a fundamental role in determining their energy conversion/storage performances.Herein,we summarize the latest progress on these integrated devices for solar electricity energy conversion and storage,with special emphasis on the critical role of carbon-based functional materials.First,principles of integrated devices are introduced,especially roles of carbon-based materials in these hybrid energy devices.Then,two major types of important integrated devices,including photovoltaic and photoelectrochemicalrechargeable batteries or SCs,are discussed in detail.Finally,key challenges and opportunities in the future development are also discussed.By this review,we hope to pave an avenue toward the development of stable and efficient devices for solar energy conversion and storage.

文摘Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides(TMDs)have shown great potential for application in the next generation of electronics and optoelectronics due to their atomically thin thickness,tunable band gap,and strong light-matter interaction.However,their practical application is still limited by challenges such as the constraints of high-temperature synthesis processes,compatibility issues of p-type/n-type doping strategies,and insufficient nanoscale patterning accuracy.Plasma treatment has become a key technology to break through these bottlenecks with its unique advantages such as low-temperature operation capability,generation of highly active reactive species and precise controllability of multiple parameters.This review comprehensively reviews the latest progress in plasma engineering of TMDs(MoS_(2),WS_(2),WSe_(2),etc.)based on a systematic“fundamental process-property modulation-device innovation”framework.The key plasma technologies are highlighted:plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition(PECVD)for low-temperature growth,bidirectional doping achieved through active species regulation,atomic layer precision etching,and defect engineering.The regulation mechanism of plasma on the intrinsic properties of materials is systematically analyzed,including electronic structure modification,optical property optimization(such as photoluminescence enhancement)and structural feature evolution.It then reveals how plasma technology promotes device innovation:achieving customizable structures(p-n junctions,sub-10 nanometer channels),optimizing interface properties(reducing contact resistance,integrating high-k dielectrics),and significantly improving the performance of gas sensors,photodetectors and neuromorphic computing systems.Finally,this article looks forward to future research directions,emphasizing that plasma technology is a versatile and indispensable platform for promoting TMDs towards practical applications.
