The solution flow rate ranged from 10 to 50 m L/h and the substrate temperature was maintained at 450 °C. The effect of the solution flow rate on the properties of Zn S thin films was investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), optical transmittance spectroscopy(UV–V) and the four-point method. The X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the deposited material was pure zinc sulphide, it has a cubic sphalerite structure with preferential orientation along the(111) direction. The grain size values were calculated and found to be between 38 to 82 nm.SEM analysis revealed that the deposited thin films have good adherence to the substrate surfaces, are homogeneous and have high density. The average transmission of all films is up more than 65% in the range wavelength from 200 to 1100 nm and their band gap energy values were found between 3.5–3.92 e V. The obtained film thickness varies from 390 to 1040 nm. Moreover, the electric resistivity of the deposited films increases with the increasing of the solution flow rate between 3.51 × 10^5 and 11 × 10^5 Ω·cm.展开更多

Lettuce was grown at 5 treatments fi'om High EC & Low CR to Low EC & High CR. The environmental parameters were controlled in a 20 m^2 plant factory during the hydroponic cultivation with the following values: irradiated by blue and red light-emitting diode lighting with PPFD (photosynthetic photon flux density) value of 150 mol·m^-2·s^-1 for 16 hours per day; Temperature was maintained at 22.0 ℃ during the photoperiod and 16.0 ℃ in dark cycle. The results demonstrate that growing lettuce can be adopted using nutrient solution with lower EC levels and higher CR. The results also indicate that the effect of bi-directional coupled EC and CR resulted in expansion of root length but reducing the root biomass. Nitrate content was significantly reduced.展开更多
