Here, a fractional ...Ga-free InAs/InAsSb type-Ⅱ superlattices(T2SL) have extensive application prospective in infrared photodetectors. Achieving higher operation temperature is critical to its commercial applications. Here, a fractional monolayer alloy method was used to grow InAsSb alloy with better controlled alloy composition. The as-grown T2SL gave eleven satellite peaks and a first satellite peak with a narrow full-width-half-maximum (FWHM) of 20.5arcsec (1 arcsec=0.01592°). Strain mapping results indicated limited Sb diffusion through the As-Sb exchange process at the interface. Moreover, unlike interface states caused by the As-Sb exchange effect, this relatively clear interface was distinctive with localized states with higher activation energies of the non-radiative recombination process ((18±1) meV and (84±12) meV at different temperature ranges), which means that this interface state introduced by fractional monolayer alloy growth method can effectively suppress Auger recombination process in T2SL. Through this interface engineering of InAs/InAsSb Type-Ⅱ superlattice, it achieved detective photoluminescence (PL) signal with the center wavelength of 9μm at 250K.展开更多

文摘In the field of glucose sensors,the development of inexpensive and high-efficiency electrochemical glucose sensors is the current research hotspot.In this paper,CuO-Co_(3)O_(4)composite with a prickly-sphere-like morphology is prepared by the facile hydrothermal method for the non-enzymatic electrochemical glucose detection.X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,energy-dispersive X-ray spec-troscopy,and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy are used to analyze the structure,composition,and morphology of the material.In addition,the electrochemical catalytic perfor-mance of CuO-Co_(3)O_(4)to glucose is obtained by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry.The excellent elec-trochemical sensing performance may be attributed to the large number of catalytic sites in the prickly-sphere-like composite and the synergistic effect of Cu and Co.Under an applied voltage of 0.55 V,CuO-Co_(3)O_(4)composite shows sensitivity to glucose(1503.45μA·(mmol·L^(-1))^(-1)-cm^(-2)),a low detection limit(21.95μmol·L^(-1)),excellent selectivity,a high level of reproducibility,and good sta-bility.This indicates that the CuO-Co_(3)O_(4)composite has a broad prospect of non-enzymatic glucose sensing application.

文摘MXene-based hydrogels have drawn considerable attention as flexible and wearable sensors.However,the application of MXene-based hydrogels after sensing failure has rarely been investigated,which is of great significance for expanding their engineering application.In this work,multifunctional mineral MXene hydrogels(MMHs)were synthesized via a simple method inspired by biomineralization.The prepared MMHs were stretchable,self-healable and conductive,and can be used to fabricate wearable tensile strain sensors showing a super-wide sensing range with excellent sensitivity.MMHs-based strain sensors were designed to be directly attached to the skin surface to detect tiny and large human motions.In addition,with the advantages of a large specific area,excellent hydrophilicity and abundant active adsorption sites for MXene nanosheets and hydrogels,dehydrated MMHs were used as highly efficient adsorbents for the removal of strontium ions from aqueous solutions.This work shows the great potential of MXene in promoting the development of nextgeneration functional materials.

文摘To improve the nitriding resistance of Zr_(2)Fe alloy,the Ce-added Zr_(2)(Fe_(1-x)Ni_(x))(x=0,0.15,0.3,0.5)alloys were prepared by magnetic levitation melting method.The effects of Ni substitution for Fe on the phase structure,hydrogen and nitrogen absorption properties of the alloys were investigated by X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscopy and p-c isotherm measurements.The experimental results show that Ni substitution can effectively inhibit the formation of both α-Zr and ZrFe_(2) phases and promote the formation of C16 structure Zr_(2)(Fe,Ni)phase,causing Ni-substituted alloys to exhibit low nitrogen absorption rate and capacity.At 623 K under 0.5 MPa nitrogen pressure,the nitrogen absorption capacity of Ce-added Zr_(2)(Fe_(0.5)Ni_(0.5))alloy reaches to 0.8 mL/g,much lower than that of Zr_(2)Fe alloy(1.5 mL/g).Ni substitution decreases the crystal cell volume of the C_(16)Zr_(2)(Fe,Ni)phase,resulting in an increase in the hydrogen absorption equilibrium pressure.At 623 K under 0.05 MPa hydrogen pressure,the hydrogen absorption capacity decreases from 1.46 wt%of Zr_(2)Fe alloy to 1.41 wt%of Ce-added Zr_(2)(Fe_(0.5)Ni_(0.5))alloy.

文摘In this work,a conventional HfO_(2) gate dielectric layer is replaced with a 3-nm ferroelectric(Fe) HZO layer in the gate stacks of advanced fin field-effect transistors(FinFETs).Fe-induced characteristics,e.g.,negative drain induced barrier lowering(N-DIBL) and negative differential resistance(NDR),are clearly observed for both p-and n-type HZO-based FinFETs.These characteristics are attributed to the enhanced ferroelectricity of the 3-nm hafnium zirconium oxide(HZO) film,caused by Al doping from the TiAlC capping layer.This mechanism is verified for capacitors with structures similar to the FinFETs.Owing to the enhanced ferroelectricity and N-DIBL phenomenon,the drain current(I_(DS))of the HZO-FinFETs is greater than that of HfO_(2)-FinFETs and obtained at a lower operating voltage.Accordingly,circuits based on HZO-FinFET achieve higher performance than those based on HfO_(2)-FinFET at a low voltage drain(V_(DD)),which indicates the application feasibility of the HZO-FinFETs in the ultralow power integrated circuits.

文摘High-performance type-Ⅱsuperlattices ofⅢ-Ⅴsemiconductor materials play an important role in the development and application of infrared optoelectronic devices.Improving the quality of epitaxial materials and clarifying the luminescent mechanism are of great significance for practic al applic ations.In this work,strain-balanced and high-quality In As/In_(x)Ga_(1-x)As_(y)Sb_(1-y)superlattices without lattice mismatch were achieved on InAs and GaSb substrates successfully.Superlattices grown on In As substrate could exhibit higher crystal quality and surface flatness based on high-resolution X-ray diffraction(HRXRD)and atomic force microscopy(AFM)measurements'results.Moreover,the strain distribution phenomenon from geometric phase analysis indicates that fluctuations of alloy compositions in superlattices on GaSb substrate are more obvious.In addition,the optical properties of superlattices grown on different substrates are discussed systematically.Because of the difference in fluctuations of element composition and interface roughness of superlattices on different substrates,the superlattices grown on In As substrate would have higher integral intensity and narrower full-width at half maximum of long-wave infrared emission.Finally,the thermal quenching of emission intensity indicates that the superlattices grown on the In As substrate have better recombination ability,which is beneficial for increasing the operating temperature of infrared optoelectronic devices based on this type of superlattices.

文摘Dielectric and energy storage properties of PbOSrO-Na_(2)O-Nb_(2)O_(5)-SiO_(2)(PSNNS) thin films with annealing temperature from 700 to 850 ℃ were investigated by measuring their capacitance-electric filed curve and hysteresis loops.The results show that the highest dielectric constant and energy density are 81.2 and 17.0 J·cm^(-3),respectively,which is obtained in the sample with annealing temperature of 800 ℃.Annealed from 700 to800 ℃,the dielectric constant and energy storage performance of PSNNS films are continuously improved.However,with annealing temperature up to 850 ℃,their dielectric constant decreases,which might be related with the removal of interfacial defects as a function of annealing temperature.Defect is one of the causes of space charge phenomenon,resulting in the increase in dielectric constant.Moreover,the micro structure analysis by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and transmission electron microscope(TEM) indicates that the change of crystallization phase and interfacial polarization takes responsibility to the results.

文摘Zinc and its alloys provide a scalable alternative to the list of biodegradable metals due to its moderate degradation rates and biocompatible degradation products.However,one of the challenges impeding their clinical applications is the uncontrollable and unstable interfacial reactions between zinc implants and the corrosive media.In this study,we report a facile synthesis of metal-organic framework(MOF)nanocrystal coating with tunable thickness on the high-strength Zn-0.8Li alloy matrix for controlled corrosion.The as-obtained dense and uniform MOF nanocrystals form a strong connection with the zinc matrix via coordination bond so as to maintain the mechanical properties,and meantime provide highly rough surfaces exhibiting tunable wettability.The varied MOF coating thus regulate the interface structure between the zinc matrix and corrosive media to control the degradation behavior.Excellent antibacterial activity and biocompatibility are also achieved because of the unique topology morphologies,surface superhydrophilicity,as well as the dynamic Zn^(2+)release.This study sheds valuable lights on the design of MOF-functionalized metal implants for practical use and also triggers extensive applications of MOF in biomaterials.

文摘It is of vital importance to construct highly interconnected,macroporous photocatalyst to improve its efficiency and applicability in solar energy conversion and environment remediation.Graphitic-like C_3N_4(g-C_3N_4),as an analogy to two-dimensional(2D)graphene,is highly identified as a visible-lightresponsive polymeric semiconductor.Moreover,the feasibility of g-C_3N_4 in making porous structures has been well established.However,the preparation of macroporous g-C_3N_4 with abundant porous networks and exposure surface,still constitutes a difficulty.To solve it,we report a first facile preparation of bimodal macroporous g-C_3N_4 hybrids with abundant in-plane holes,which is simply enabled by in-situ modification through thermally treating the mixture of thiourea and SnCl_4(pore modifier)after rotary evaporation.For one hand,the formed in-plane macropores endow the g-C_3N_4 system with plentiful active sites and short,cross-plane diffusion channels that can greatly speed up mass transport and transfer.For another,the heterojunctions founded between g-C_3N_4 and SnO_2 consolidate the electron transfer reaction to greatly reduce the recombination probability.As a consequence,the resulted macroporous gC_3N_4/SnO_2 nanohybrid had a high specific surface area(SSA)of 44.3 m^2/g that was quite comparable to most nano/mesoporous g-C_3N_4 reported.The interconnected porous network also rendered a highly intensified light absorption by strengthening the light penetration.Together with the improved mass transport and electron transfer,the macroporous g-C_3N_4/SnO_2 hybrid exhibited about 2.4-fold increment in the photoactivity compared with pure g-C_3N_4.Additionally,the recyclability of such hybrid could be guaranteed after eight successive uses.

文摘Because of the excellent light-trapping ability of black silicon,it has emerged as a versatile substrate for photothermic applications.In this paper,multi-nanostructured black silicon with wide-band mid-infrared absorption properties for application in pyroelectric detectors is reported.Black silicon is fabricated on a substrate surface masked by Ag nanoparticle arrays using single-step etching of C_(4)F_(8)and SF_(6)plasma.The low absorption of black silicon in the mid-infrared region is improved when a secondary nanostructure with Pt nanoparticles and SiO_(2)thin films is deposited on the surface of the prepared black silicon by microelectromechanical system(MEMS)processes.Electrons are scattered at particle boundary,resulting in dielectric loss to incident infrared(IR)region.Compared to single black silicon,the structure decorated with the multi-nanostructure can achieve higher infrared absorption,which is contributed to the high-dielectric loss properties of the Pt nanoparticles.Simulations and experiments show that the thickness of black silicon and number of layers of platinum particles contribute to mid-infrared absorption,with wavelength ranging from 2.5 to 20.0μm,and the absorption reaches~90%.The proposed absorber provides a promising solution for thermal detectors.

文摘The effect of N_(2)-plasma-treated SiO_(2) interfacial layer on the interfacial and electrical characteristics of HfO_(2)/SiO_(2)/p-Si stacks grown by atomic layer deposition(ALD) was investigated.The microstructure and interfacial chemical bonding configuration of the HfO_(2)/SiO_(2)/Si stacks were also examined by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS).Compared with the samples without N2-plasma treatment,it is found that the samples with N2-plasma treatment have less oxygen vacancy density for SiO_(2) interfacial layer and better HfO_(2)/SiO_(2) interface.In agreement with XPS analyses,electrical measurements of the samples with N2-plasma treatment show better interfacial quality,including lower interface-state density(Dit,9.3 × 1011 cm^(-2)·eV^(-1) near midgap) and lower oxidecharge density(Q_(ox),2.5 × 1012 cm^(-2)),than those of the samples without N_(2)-plasma treatment.Additionally,the samples with N_(2)-plasma treatment have better electrical performances,including higher saturation capacitance density(1.49 μF·cm^(-2)) and lower leakage current density(3.2 × 10^(-6) A·cm^(-2) at V_(g)=V_(fb)-1 V).Furthermore,constant voltage stress was applied on the gate electrode to investigate the reliability of these samples.It shows that the samples with N_(2)-plasma treatment have better electrical stability than the samples without N_(2)-plasma treatment.

文摘A homogeneous porous Co3 O4-ZnO nanomaterial(Zn-CoOx)was successfully fabricated by precipitationannealing route.The as-prepared Zn-CoOx exhibited good response,reliable reversibility and good selectivity towards alcohols,which attributed to the porous structure and p-n heterojunction formed between Co3 O4 and ZnO.In particular,the different Fermi levels of Co3 O4 and ZnO leaded to a further increase the depth of the space charge layer,which improved the gas sensitivity of the material from 10%to 480%.Besides,the continuous CO3 O4 leaded to a relatively lower operating temperature and resista nce.This material preparation method and bimetallic oxides could be widely used in the research and development of metal oxide gas sensitive materials and sensors.

文摘Lightweight nanocomposites consisting of magnetic and dielectric units aroused intensive interest as potential high performance electromagnetic wave absorbing materials.In this work,we report a facile and efficient method to fabricate(Co,SiO_(2))/PPy composites with tunable electromagnetic properties.The absorbing properties and effective absorbing bandwidth can be regulated by controlling the content of SiO_(2) in composites.The composite shows a maximum reflection loss(RL)of-65.31 d B at 11.12 GHz with a thickness of 3.002 mm when SiO_(2) being 22 wt.%.The effective absorbing bandwidth reaches up to 5.1 GHz(8.91-14.01 GHz),which covers the entire X band(8-12 GHz).The improved impedance matching,high interfacial polarization and complex electromagnetic synergy in the composites are the key factors giving rise to the higher efficient absorption.The PPy aerogel-based nanocomposites with controllable absorption performance,lower density and strong environmental adaptability will become attractive candidates as advanced microwave absorbing materials.

文摘Ga-free InAs/InAsSb type-Ⅱ superlattices(T2SL) have extensive application prospective in infrared photodetectors. Achieving higher operation temperature is critical to its commercial applications. Here, a fractional monolayer alloy method was used to grow InAsSb alloy with better controlled alloy composition. The as-grown T2SL gave eleven satellite peaks and a first satellite peak with a narrow full-width-half-maximum (FWHM) of 20.5arcsec (1 arcsec=0.01592°). Strain mapping results indicated limited Sb diffusion through the As-Sb exchange process at the interface. Moreover, unlike interface states caused by the As-Sb exchange effect, this relatively clear interface was distinctive with localized states with higher activation energies of the non-radiative recombination process ((18±1) meV and (84±12) meV at different temperature ranges), which means that this interface state introduced by fractional monolayer alloy growth method can effectively suppress Auger recombination process in T2SL. Through this interface engineering of InAs/InAsSb Type-Ⅱ superlattice, it achieved detective photoluminescence (PL) signal with the center wavelength of 9μm at 250K.
