Alcohol-Guided Growth of Two-Dimensional Narrow-Band Red-Emitting K2TiF6:Mn4+ for White Light-Emitting Diodes
摘要： The use of red phosphors with low light-scattering loss could improve the luminous efficacy and color rendering of white light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Thus, the discovery of such phosphors is highly desired. In this work, high-efficiency two-dimensional red-emitting K2TiF6:Mn4+ (KTFM) were synthesized via an alcohol-assisted coprecipitation route. The synergistic effects of 1-propanol and hydrofluoric acid (HF) on the growth of KTFM microsheets (MSs) were studied through the first-principles calculations, which revealed that 1-propanol promoted the growth of KTFM MSs by preferentially adsorbing on the H-terminated K2TiF6 (001) surface. The photoluminescence quantum efficiency (QE) of Mn4+-activated K2TiF6 MSs was highly related to their size and thickness. The morphology-optimal KTFM MSs presented high internal QE (> 90 %), external QE (> 71%), and thermal quenching temperature (102% at 150 °C relative to that at 25 °C). A prototype phosphor-converted LED with KTFM as the red-emitting component showed an excellent color rendition (Ra = 91, R9 = 79) and high luminous efficacy (LE =156 lm/w).

Narrow-Band Green-Emitting Sr <sub/>2</sub> MgAl <sub/>22</sub> O <sub/>36</sub> :Mn <sup>2+</sup> Phosphors with Superior Thermal Stability and Wide Color Gamut for Backlighting Display Applications
摘要： The narrow-band emitting phosphors have been extensively investigated in recent years, with the expectation that a wide color gamut of phosphor-converted backlighting device could be fabricated. Due to the weak electric–phonon interaction and low structural relaxation caused by the high rigid crystal structure and symmetric coordination environment, Sr2MgAl22O36:Mn2+ (SMAO:Mn2+) shows a narrow full-width at half-maximum of 26 nm, a high color purity of 81.5%, and a low thermal quenching (82% at 473 K of the initial intensity at 298 K). Using K2SiF6:Mn4+ as the red phosphor, SMAO:Mn2+ as the green one, and GaN-based chip as the blue component, the white light-emitting diode exhibits a National Television Standard Committee value of 127%. All the results demonstrate that the SMAO:Mn2+ phosphor has a promising application in the field of advanced wide-color-gamut backlight display, and the establishment of the relationships between the narrow-band emission and crystal structure can also be applied to design other novel narrow-band phosphors for backlighting technologies.

Feasibility of a simplified narrow-band imaging classification system for Barrett’s esophagus for novice endoscopists
摘要： Background Narrow-band imaging (NBI) classifications for Barrett’s esophagus have been proposed for the detection of early esophageal adenocarcinoma. We developed a simplified classification system with demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy and reproducibility among experienced endoscopists, but the feasibility of this system among novice endoscopists was unclear. Methods In the present study, eight novice endoscopists with no experience of magnification endoscopy were asked to review 248 images of Barrett’s esophagus (72 dysplastic, 176 non-dysplastic) obtained using high-definition magnification endoscopy with NBI 6 weeks before (1st test), immediately after (2nd test), and 6 weeks after (3rd test) being taught the simplified classification system. The primary outcomes were differences in diagnostic accuracy for dysplasia among the three tests. Results The specificity and overall accuracy improved significantly in the 2nd vs. 1st test [97% vs. 80% (p < 0.001) and 94% vs. 82% (p < 0.001), respectively], sensitivity was comparable (87% in both tests; p = 0.42). In the 3rd test, the sensitivity and overall accuracy decreased significantly compared with the 2nd test [82% vs. 87% (p < 0.001) and 93% vs. 94% (p < 0.05), respectively], but there was no significant difference in specificity (97% in both tests; p = 0.16). The kappa values for interobserver agreement for the mucosal pattern, vascular pattern, and predicted histology were substantial, and improved significantly in the 2nd vs. 1st test (0.78 vs. 0.59, 0.70 vs. 0.53, and 0.79 vs. 0.66, respectively; p < 0.001 for all). Conclusions The simplified NBI classification system may be appropriate for novice endoscopists to use in providing high accuracy and reproducibility.

Unique Substitution Effect at 5,5′ Positions of a Fused Azobenzene-Boron Complex with N=N Double-Bond π-Conjugated System
摘要： The recent report illustrates superior optical properties, such as near infrared emission, from the polymers with the connection positions at 4,4′ positions in the fused azobenzene–boron complex (BAz). In this study, we initially demonstrate that further narrower band gap can be realized by the substituent effect with bromine groups at 5,5′ positions of BAz than that at 4,4′ positions. From the series of mechanistic studies, perturbation of the energy levels were rationally explained by the contribution difference between the inductive effect and the variable resonance effect which is correlated to the degree of electron distribution of molecular orbitals at the substituent positions. Moreover, it was found that unique electronic states, such as delocalized highest occupied molecular orbital and localized lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, should appear on the main chains of the BAz-containing copolymers with fluorene and bithiophene units according to the optical and electrochemical data and theoretical calculations. Taking advantage of property tunability and the dramatic low LUMO energy level (near ?4.0 eV) of the BAz unit, it can be said that BAz should be a conjugated building block favorable for building advanced optoelectronic devices.

High-Resolution ENT Video Endoscope with Superior Image Quality Equivalent to that of Gastric Video Endoscopes
摘要： Background and study aims: To assess the usability of high resolution fiberscope which has equivalent image quality to that of the esophageal and gastric video endoscopes. Patients and methods: Image resolution of this endoscope was estimated by the United States Air Force (USAF) resolution test chart. Clinical application was done between January and December 2010 and transnasal observation of the larynx and hypopharynx were performed during this period. These examinations were done for screening and follow-up for patients with hypopharyngeal and laryngeal disorders. Results: This endoscope could distinguish features on a scale of nearly 20 μm, and abnormal vascular patterns on the mucosal surface characteristic of carcinomas were clearly observed under a conventional light source. In addition, these changes on the mucosal surface became more apparent with use of the i-SCAN?. Nevertheless, the handling of this video endoscope was similar to that of popular ENT video endoscopes, and all patients tolerated its use well. Conclusion: This new device may dramatically improve pharyngolaryngeal examination in ENT clinics.

Robust high-fidelity coherent control of two-state systems by detuning pulses
摘要： Coherent control of two-state systems is traditionally achieved by resonant pulses of specific Rabi frequency and duration, by adiabatic techniques using level crossings or delayed pulses, or by sequences of pulses with precise relative phases (composite pulses). Here we develop a method for high-fidelity coherent control which uses a sequence of detuning pulses. By using the detuning pulse areas as control parameters, and driving on an analogy with composite pulses, we report a great variety of detuning pulse sequences for broadband and narrow-band transition probability profiles.

Design of Microstrip Bandpass Filters Based on Stair-Step Patch Resonator
摘要： In this research article, single pole bandpass filter using stair-step patch topology based on symmetrical and asymmetrical step impedance resonators has been designed for industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band application. This filter has been modeled by Microwave Office simulator using RT/Duroid substrate constant of 10.8, the substrate thickness of 1.27mm, loss tangent of 0.0023 and copper metallization thickness of 0.035 mm. To enhance the stopband levels of filter response, two microstrip bandpass filters have been designed as two-pole configurations based on edge, and cross-coupled stair-step patch resonators using the same simulator tool and substrate specifications. The proposed filters have compact sizes of (0.311λ(cid:2917)(cid:2925) x 0.233λ(cid:2917)(cid:2925)) for single pole filter, (0.578λ(cid:2917)(cid:2925) x 0.24λ(cid:2917)(cid:2925) )for two-pole edge coupled filter and (0.566λ(cid:2917)(cid:2925) x 0.234λ(cid:2917)(cid:2925))for two-pole cross-coupled filter designed at center frequencies of 2.4, 2.46 and 2.41 GHz respectively. These filters have interesting insertion loss and return loss magnitudes, narrow band frequency responses, second harmonic suppression and good stopband levels. Apart from ISM band applications, the proposed filters can be adopted in WLAN systems and Bluetooth applications for short range devices. The experimental results for designed filters are of good consistency with the simulations.

Reconfigurable 2D/0D pa??n Graphene/HgTe Nanocrystal Heterostructure for Infrared Detection
摘要： Nanocrystals are promising building blocks for the development of low-cost infrared optoelectronics. Gating a nanocrystal film in a phototransistor geometry is commonly proposed as a strategy to tune the signal-to-noise ratio by carefully controlling the carrier density within the semiconductor. However, the performance improvement has so far been quite marginal. With metallic electrodes, the gate dependence of the photocurrent follows the gate-induced change of the dark current. Graphene presents key advantages: (i) infrared transparency that allows back-side illumination, (ii) vertical electric field transparency, and (iii) carrier selectivity under gate bias. Here, we investigate a configuration of 2D/0D infrared photodetectors taking advantage of a high capacitance ionic glass gate, large-scale graphene electrodes, and a HgTe nanocrystals layer of high carrier mobility. The introduction of graphene electrodes combined with ionic glass enables one to reconfigure selectively the HgTe nanocrystals and the graphene electrodes between electron-doped (n) and hole-doped (p) states. We unveil that this functionality enables the design a 2D/0D p?n junction that expands throughout the device, with a built-in electric field that assists charge dissociation. We demonstrate that, in this specific configuration, the signal-to-noise ratio for infrared photodetection can be enhanced by 2 orders of magnitude, and that photovoltaic operation can be achieved. The detectivity now reaches 109 Jones, whereas the device only absorbs 8% of the incident light. Additionally, the time response of the device is fast (<10 μs), which strongly contrasts with the slow response commonly observed for 2D/0D mixed-dimensional heterostructures, where larger photoconduction gains come at the cost of slower response.

Temperature Tunable Narrow-Band Terahertz Metasurface Absorber Based on InSb Micro-Cylinder Arrays for Enhanced Sensing Application
摘要： A narrow-band metasurface absorber (MSA) based on InSb micro-cylinder arrays has been proposed and investigated numerically, which could be believed to be applicable for both temperature and refractive index (RI) sensing in terahertz (THz) region. Distinct from previous designs, the proposed narrow-band MSA is only consisted of a sub-wavelength periodic micro-cylinder array based on the InSb material possessing an extremely thermosensitive relative permittivity which varies with the external environment temperature, and a gold ground-plane deposited on a glass substrate. Numerical simulation results indicate that the proposed MSA can achieve an absorbance of 99.9% at 1.8985 THz and the corresponding Q-factor is about 120.9 at room temperature (300 K). It is inferred that the narrow-band perfect absorption of the MSA could be contributed to the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) resonance mode excitation. Furthermore, the absorption property of the designed MSA is found to be highly sensitive to the RI value variations of the surrounding mediums and fluctuations of external environment temperature. Thus, the proposed MSA can be not only operated as a temperature sensor with a sensitivity of 2.13 GHz/K, but also a RI sensor with a sensitivity of 960 GHz/RIU (refractive index unit). Due to its high sensing performance, it can be believed that the narrow-band MSA has great potential applications in chemical, biological or other optoelectronic related areas.

Narrowing the Band Gap: The Key to High-Performance Organic Photovoltaics
摘要： Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have attracted considerable attention in the last two decades to overcome the terawatt energy challenge and serious environmental problems. During their early development, only wide-band-gap organic semiconductors were synthesized and employed as the active layer, mainly utilizing photons in the UV?visible region and yielding power conversion e?ciencies (PCEs) lower than 5%. Afterward, considerable e?orts were made to narrow the polymer donor band gap in order to utilize the infrared photons, which led to the enhancement of the PCE from 5% to 12% in about a decade. Since 2017, the study of narrow-band-gap non-fullerene acceptors helped usher in a new era in OPV research and boosted the achievable the PCE to 17% in only 3 years. In essence, the history of OPV development in the last 15 years can be summarized as an attempt to narrow the band gap of organic semiconductors and better position the energy levels. There are multiple bene?ts of a narrower band gap: (1) considerable infrared photons can be utilized, and as a result, the short-circuit current density can increase signi?cantly; (2) the energy o?set of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy levels or highest occupied molecular orbital energy levels between the donor and acceptor can be reduced, which will reduce the open-circuit voltage loss by minimizing the loss caused by the donor/acceptor charge transfer state; (3) because of the unique molecular orbitals of organic semiconductors, the red-shifted absorption will induce high transmittance in the visible region, which is ideal for the rear subcells in tandem-junction OPVs and transparent OPVs.
