Infrared absorption efficiency in AlAs/AlxGa1-xAs type-II multiple-quantum-well structure grown on (211) GaAs substrate

We have made a normal incidence high infrared absorption efficiency AlAs/Al0.55Ga0.45As multiple-quantum-well structure grown on (211) GaAs substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). A strong infrared absorption signal at 11.6 mu m due to the transition of the ground state to the first excited state, and a small signal at 6.8 mu m due to the transition from the ground state to continuum. were observed. A 45 degrees tilted incidence measurement was also performed on the same sample for the comparison with a normal incidence measurement. Both measurements provide important information about the quantum well absorption efficiency. Efficiencies which evaluate the absorption of electric components perpendicular and parallel to the well plane are eta(perpendicular to) = 25% and eta(parallel to) = 88%, respectively. The total efficiency is then deduced to be eta = 91%. It is apparent that the efficiency eta(parallel to) dominates the total quantum efficiency eta Because an electron in the (211) AlAs well has a small effective mass (m(zx)* or m(zy)*), the normal incidence absorption coefficient is expected to be higher:than that grown on (511) and (311) substrates. Thus, in the present study, we use the (211) substrate to fabricate QWIP. The experimental results indicate the potential of these novel structures for use as normal incidence infrared photodetectors.

Alignment of misfit dislocations in the In0.52Al0.48As/InxGa1-xAs/In0.52Al0.48As/InP heterostructure

It was observed with transmission electron microscopy in the In0.52Al0.48As/InxGa1-xAs/In0.52Al0.48As system grown on the (001) InP substrate that misfit dislocation lines deviate [110] directions at an angle with its value depending on the gallium content. Such an abnormal alignment of misfit dislocations is explained in terms of an alloy effect on the formation of single jogs on misfit dislocations in the interface between the III-V ternary compounds.

Growth behavior of AlInGaN films

The structural and surface properties of AlInGaN quaternary films grown at different temperatures on GaN templates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition are investigated. Formation of two quaternary layers is confirmed and the difference between them is pronounced when the growth temperature is increased. The surface is featured with V-shaped pits and cracks, whose characteristics are further found to be strongly dependent on the growth temperature of AlInGaN layers. The two-layer structure is interpreted by taking into account of the strain status in AlInGaN layers. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

An ultra-compact silicon-on-insulator based photonic crystal corner mirror is designed and optimized. A sample is then successfully fabricated with extra losses 1.1 +/- 0.4dB for transverse-electronic (M) polarization for wavelength range of 1510-1630nm.

二氧化碳收集利用与处置技术分析

化石燃料的燃烧是百余年来大气中二氧化碳（CO2）浓度增加的主要原因。CO2的收集和处置则是抑制这一趋势的有效途径。本文通过对现有收集利用和处置技术的分析，认为火电厂是收集CO2的重点考虑对象；CO2用于三次采油及天然气回收在技术上和经济上比较可行；蓄水层储气前景广阔值得研究；深海处置有待进一步探索；CO2用于置换开采天然气水合物也是很有前景的方案。

简要叙述了磷酸型燃料电池（PAFC）最新研究进展，介绍了在相同条件下比较氢和甲烷作为燃料在磷酸（85% ）电解质和A型电解质（多氟磷酸和磷酸的混合物）中的电化学行为。在130℃，将A型电解质燃料电池的输出特性与磷酸（85% ）电解质燃料电池进行比较。全部试验在有参比电极的三电极试验电池中进行，试验电极采用自制电极，辅助电极采用光亮铂电极或者镀铂电极，参比电极采用动态氢电极。测量系统是由D.H.W 型恒电位／恒电流仪和3086 型记录仪组成。A型电解质燃料电池的输出功率高于磷酸（85% ）电解质燃料电池，这是由于A型电解质具有较高的离子活性和活度。实验表明，A型电解质具有较高的电化学性能。

Catalytic Dehydration of Ethanol to Ethylene on TiO2/4A Zeolite Composite Catalysts

TiO2/4A zeolite composite catalysts were prepared by coating TiO2 on 4A zeolite via liquid phase deposition. The TiO 2/4A zeolite composite catalysts wtih higher surface weak acidity and lower mediate strong acidity exhibit much better catalytic performance on ethanol dehydration to ethylene compared with 4A zeolite. It is suggested that the TiO2 promoter could improve the effective Lewis acidity of composite catalyst which consequently enhanced the catalytic performance.

CLIGEN非降水要素在黄土塬区的适用性评估

许多基于物理机制的水文和作物模型需要日序列气象数据来驱动,CLIGEN是为WEPP等模型产生气候输入文件的天气发生器,可以产生10个日序列气象变量来满足这种需要,但是其在中国的适用性需要进行评估。研究的目标是利用黄土高原陕西长武1957~2001年的气象数据评估CLIGEN产生非降水要素(最高温度、最低温度、露点温度、太阳辐射和风速)的能力。结果表明,CLIGEN对最高温度、最低温度和露点温度的模拟效果较好,对太阳辐射和极端气候事件的模拟效果较差,对风速的模拟效果最差。相关性检验表明CLIGEN很好地保持了气象要素的季节性,这对模拟农业生产是非常重要的;但是没有保留气象要素逐日的自相关和互相关性,进而导致产生的温度变化不符合连续渐变的规律。
