For quantum well structures, the energy of carriers in the well splits into discrete energy levels due to the confinement of barriers in the growth direction. However, the discrete energy levels obtained at a fixed wave vector cannot accurately reflect the actual energy band structure. In this work, the band structure of the type-II quantum wells is reanalyzed. When the wave vectors of the entire Brillouin region(corresponding to the growth direction) are taken into account, the quantized energy levels of the carriers in the well are replaced by subbands with certain energy distributions. This new understanding of the energy bands of low-dimensional structures not only helps us to have a deeper cognition of the structure, but also may overturn many viewpoints in traditional band theories and serve as supplementary to the band theory of low-dimensional systems.展开更多

[1], Naval Research Logistics is considered. Based on this type of censoring the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), Bayes estimation, and parametric bootstrap method are used for estimating the unknown parameters. Also, we propose to apply Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique to carry out a Bayesian estimation procedure and in turn calculate the credible intervals. Point estimation and confidence intervals based on maximum likelihood and bootstrap method are also proposed. The approximate Bayes estimators obtained under the assumptions of non-informative priors, are compared with the maximum likelihood estimators. Numerical examples using real data set are presented to illustrate the methods of inference developed here. Finally, the maximum likelihood, bootstrap and the different Bayes estimates are compared via a Monte Carlo simulation study.展开更多

The growth temperature and group-V soaking times were optimized with respect to interface and transport quality. Novel strain compensation schemes with insertion of InSb layers were proposed and tested to be efficient to tune the overall strain between tensile and compressive without degradation of interface and optical quality. The effect of the proposed methods is modeled by analytic functions.? Band structure calculations were also carried out for the proposed T2SL structures to assist optimizing sample designs. Single pixel photodiodes with a low dark current were demonstrated.展开更多

Magnetic part of the pinning force associated with the interaction between a finite-size spheroidal magnetic inclusion and an Abrikosov vortex is calculated in the London approximation. It is found that the size and shape of magnetic nanoparticles result in different enhancements of vortex pinning in large-k type-II superconductors. Meanwhile, the screening current induced by a magnetic spheroid suffer the action of Lorentz force, which will lead to prestress in the superconductor, so further numerical calculations are needed to explore the interaction between the spheroidal magnetic particle and superconductor. The distribution of displacement, stress and strain in the superconductor are finally obtained. It is shown that different sizes and shapes of nanoparticles also can change the distributions of these quantities.展开更多

We focus our attention on using the eight-band k. p model to calculate the band structures within the framework of finite element method. For the sake of clarity, the simulation in this paper is simplified and based on only one period--A1Sb/InAs/Ga1-xInxSb/InAs/A1Sb. The obtained numerical results include the energy levels and wavefunctions of carriers. We discuss the variations of the electronic properties by changing several important parameters, such as the thickness of either InAs or Cal_xInxSb layer and the alloy composition in Ga1-xInxSb separately. In the last part, in order to compare the eight-band k·p model, we recalculate the conduction bands of the ＇W＇ structure using the one-band k·p model and then discuss the difference between the two results, showing that conduction bands are strongly coupled with valence bands in the narrow band gap structure. The in-plane energy dispersions, which illustrate the suppression of the Auger recombination process, are also obtained.展开更多

Many solar-to-fuel conversion reactions, such as H2 evolution and CO2 reduction, require multiple sequential electron transfer processes, which leads to a complicated situation that excited states involves not only excitons （electron-hole pairs） but also multi-excitons and charged excitons. While long-lived excitons can be obtained in various systems （e.g., semiconductor nanocrystals）, multi-excitons and charged excitons are typically shorted-lived due to nonradiative Auger recombination pathways whereby the recombination energy of an exciton is quickly transferred to the third carrier on a few to hundreds of picoseconds timescale. In this work, we report a study of excitons, trions （an exciton plus an additional charge）, and biexcitons in CdSe/CdTe colloidal quantum wells or nanoplatelets. The type- II band alignment effectively separates electrons and holes in space, leading to a single exciton lifetime of 340 ns which is -2 order of magnitudes longer than that in plane CdSe nanoplatelets. More importantly, the electron-hole separation also dramatically slows down Auger decay, giving rise to a trion lifetime of 70 ns and a biexciton lifetime of 11 ns, among the longest values ever reported for colloidal nanocrystals. The long-lived exciton, trion, and biexciton states, combined with the intrinsically strong light-absorption capability of two-dimensional systems, enable the CdSe/CdTe type-II nanoplatelets as promising light harvesters for efficient solar-to-fuel conversion reactions.展开更多

The constant-partially accelerated life tests are applied based on progressively type-II censored samples. The maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) for the considered parameters are obtained by solving the likelihood equations of the model parameters numerically. The Bayes estimators are obtained by using Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm under the balanced squared error loss function. Based on Monte Carlo simulation, Bayes estimators are compared with their corresponding maximum likelihood estimators. The two-sample prediction technique is considered to derive Bayesian prediction bounds for future order statistics based on progressively type-II censored informative samples obtained from constant-partially accelerated life testing models. The informative and future samples are assumed to be obtained from the same population. The coverage probabilities and the average interval lengths of the confidence intervals are computed via a Monte Carlo simulation to investigate the procedure of the prediction intervals. Analysis of a simulated data set has also been presented for illustrative purposes. Finally, comparisons are made between Bayesian and maximum likelihood estimators via a Monte Carlo simulation study.展开更多

The eight-band k·p model is used to calculate the electronic structures of such SLs and on the basis of band structures, the Boltzmann equation approach is employed to calculate the optical absorption coefficients for the corresponding SL systems.

By examining the dependence of THz absorption coefficient on the InAs/GaSb layer widths, we demonstrate that with a proper choice of InAs/GaSb layer widths, an optimized THz absorption can be achieved. This study is pertinent to the potential application of InAs/GaSb type-II SLs as THz photo detectors.展开更多

文摘An edge soliton is a localized bound state that arises from the balance between diffraction broadening and nonlinearity-induced self-focusing.It typically resides either at the edge or at the domain wall of a lattice system.To the best of our knowledge,most reported edge solitons have been observed in conservative Hermitian systems;whether stable edge solitons can exist in non-Hermitian systems remains an open question.In this work,we utilize a photonic lattice that naturally exhibits type-II Dirac cones and introduce a domain wall by carefully configuring gains and losses at the three sites within each unit cell.Surprisingly,edge states localized at the domain wall can exhibit entirely real propagation constants.Building on these edge states,we demonstrate the existence of edge solitons that can propagate stably over distances significantly exceeding those in the experimental settings adopted in this study.Although these solitons eventually couple with the bulk states and ultimately collapse,they exhibit remarkable resilience.Our findings establish that a domain wall supporting loss-resistant edge solitons,which can also evade the skin effect,is achievable in non-Hermitian systems.This discovery holds promising potential for the development of compact functional optical devices.

文摘Constructing a one-dimensional(1D)core/shell heterostructure is a rational and efficient way to integrate multiple functional materials into a single device,in which a distinct and reliable interface and suitable energy-band alignment play important roles in optoelectronic applications.Here,using a typical magnetron sputtering system,we constructed a 1D ZnO/CdS/CdTe core/shell nanorod arrays radial heterojunction with a well-designed cascade type-II energy band alignment and improved the broadband photodetector(PD)performance.The well-formed shell layers compensated for the defect states on the ZnO surface and extended the photoresponse range from ultraviolet to visible and near-infrared.Moreover,reliable and distinct heterointerfaces with a cascade type-II energy band alignment can guarantee more stable carrier migration and reduce energy loss,promoting effective photogenerated charge carrier separation and resulting in an enhanced photoresponse.The optimised 1D ZnO/CdS/CdTe core/shell heterojunction PD exhibited a fast photoresponse at 0 V bias with high responsivity and detectivity.These results provide an important reference for the rational design and controllable synthesis of multifunctional optoelectronic nanodevices.

文摘Blue emissive quantum dots are key materials in fabricating quantum-dot light-emitting diodes for display applications.Up to date,most of the previous blue emissive quantum dots are based on quantum dots with type-I core-shell structure.In this work,we report pure-blue emissive ZnSe/Cd_(x)Zn_(1-x)S/ZnS quantum dots with type-II core-shell structure,which show high photoluminescence quantum yield over 90%.The type-II structure was investigated by applying time-resolved photoluminescence and transient absorption measurements,illustrating the extended photoluminescence decay lifetime of ZnSe/Cd_(x)Zn_(1-x)S quantum dots as well as the transition of bleaching peak from the valence band of ZnSe to the conduction band of CdZnS.We further fabricated ZnSe/Cd_(x)Zn_(1-x)S/ZnS quantum dots based electroluminescence devices,achieving a maximum external quantum efficiency of 6.7%and a maximum luminance of 39,766 cd·m^(-2).

文摘Receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1(RIPK1)functions as a key regulator in inflammation and cell death and is involved in mediating a variety of inflammatory or degenerative diseases.A number of allosteric RIPK1 inhibitors(RIPK1i)have been developed,and some of them have already advanced into clinical evaluation.Recently,selective RIPK1i that interact with both the allosteric pocket and the ATP-binding site of RIPK1 have started to emerge.Here,we report the rational development of a new series of type-II RIPK1i based on the rediscovery of a reported but mechanistically atypical RIPK3i.We also describe the structure-guided lead optimization of a potent,selective,and orally bioavailable RIPK1i,62,which exhibits extraordinary efficacies in mouse models of acute or chronic inflammatory diseases.Collectively,62 provides a useful tool for evaluating RIPK1 in animal disease models and a promising lead for further drug development.
