It is found that the dynamics of conductivity after photoexcitation reveals significant correlation on the microscopy crystalline features of the samples. Our results show that mixed-cation and lead mixed-halide affect the charge carrier dynamics of the lead-iodide perovskites. In the(5-AVA)_(0.05)(MA)_(0.95) PbI_(2.95) Cl_(0.05)/spiro thin film, we observe a much weaker saturation trend of the initial photoconductivity with high excitation fluence, which is attributed to the combined effect of sequential charge carrier generation, transfer, cooling and polaron formation.展开更多

We investigate the complex refractive index of the TSAG crystal in the terahertz frequency range using terahertz(THz) time-domain spectroscopy in the temperature range 100–300 K. It is observed that the refractive index and the absorption coefficient increase with the THz frequency. The refractive index increases with the temperature.We measure the temperature coefficient of the refractive index of the TSAG crystal in the frequency range 0.4–1.4 THz. Furthermore, the loss tangent, i.e., the ratio of experimental values of the imaginary and real part of the dielectric permittivity, is found to be almost independent of frequency. TSAG is very promising for applications in THz optoelectronics because it has a high dielectric constant, low loss, and low thermal coefficient of the dielectric constant.展开更多

The models are used to evaluate the software quantitatively. They assess the reliability of the software by predicting faults or failures for a software. Reliability is one of important quality attributes of the software in which software end user is more interested rather than the software developer. Hence, the performance of a software can be improved by incorporating important quality attributes like reliability, maintainability and availability of the software along with performance attributes like response time and throughput. The paper discusses about the role played by important software reliability models in analyzing the failure prediction of the software. It also explores the strong relationship that exists between quality attributes and performance attributes. With some illustrations highlighting the necessity of in-depth understanding of the link that exists between reliability and performance of the software. The derived knowledge helps in improving the performance of the software sustainably over a period of time and manage the software more effectively.展开更多

文摘Terbium scandium aluminum garnet(TSAG) crystals have been widely used in magneto-optical systems. We investigate the complex refractive index of the TSAG crystal in the terahertz frequency range using terahertz(THz) time-domain spectroscopy in the temperature range 100–300 K. It is observed that the refractive index and the absorption coefficient increase with the THz frequency. The refractive index increases with the temperature.We measure the temperature coefficient of the refractive index of the TSAG crystal in the frequency range 0.4–1.4 THz. Furthermore, the loss tangent, i.e., the ratio of experimental values of the imaginary and real part of the dielectric permittivity, is found to be almost independent of frequency. TSAG is very promising for applications in THz optoelectronics because it has a high dielectric constant, low loss, and low thermal coefficient of the dielectric constant.
