The results of the investigation of the spectral characteristics of new luminescent substances based on rare-earth ions Eu3 + and Tb3 + in matrices of double molybdates are presented in the article. The luminescence and excitation spectra are considered, the decay times of the main transitions are determined, and the color coordinates are determined. The results show the possible suitability of using these compounds as white phosphor phosphor components.
Developing good performance and low-cost oxygen permeable membranes for CO2 capture based on the oxy-fuel concept is greatly desirable but challenging. Despite tremendous efforts in exploring new CO2-stable dual-phase membranes, its presence is howev
er still far from meeting the industrial requirements. Here we report a series of new Ca-containing CO2-resistant oxygen transporting membranes with composition 60wt.%Ce0.9Ln0.1O2-40wt.%Ln0.6Ca0.4FeO3(CLnO-LnCFO; Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm) synthesized via a Pechini one-pot method. Our results indicate all investigated compounds are composed of perovskite and fluorite phases, while the perovskite phases in the CNO-NCFO and CSO-SCFO membranes after sintering generates Ca-rich and Ca-less two kinds of grains with different morphologies, where the Ca-less small perovskite grains block the transport of oxygen ions and eventually result in poor oxygen permeability. Among our investigated CLnO-LnCFO membranes, CPO-PCFO exhibits the highest oxygen permeability and excellent CO2 stability, which were mainly associated with the improvement in crystal symmetry, non-negligible electronic conductivity of fluorite phase and the enhancement in electronic conductivity of perovskite. Our results establish Ca-containing oxides as candidate material platforms for membrane engineering devices that combine CO2 capture and oxygen separation.
We study from first principles the emission linewidth of Eu$^{2+}$-doped LED phosphors. Based on the one-dimensional configuration coordinate model, an analysis of first principles data obtained for fifteen compounds show that, at working temperature
, the linewidth of Eu$^{2+}$ emission band in solids is negligibly affected by quantum effects, and can be extracted from the Franck-Condon energy shifts. For a fixed Stokes shift, the difference of Franck-Condon energy shifts in the excited and ground states is the key factor for the FWHM determination. Narrow emission Eu$^{2+}$-doped LED phosphors are expected for the case with large positive value of such difference.
Ferroelectric tunnel junctions (FTJ) based on hafnium zirconium oxide (Hf1-xZrxO2; HZO) are a promising candidate for future applications, such as low-power memories and neuromorphic computing. The tunneling electroresistance (TER) is tunable through
the polarization state of the HZO film. To circumvent the challenge of fabricating thin ferroelectric HZO layers in the tunneling range of 1-3 nm range, ferroelectric/dielectric double layer sandwiched between two symmetric metal electrodes are used. Due to the decoupling of the ferroelectric polarization storage layer and a dielectric tunneling layer with a higher bandgap, a significant TER ratio between the two polarization states is obtained. By exploiting previously reported switching behaviour and the gradual tunability of the resistance, FTJs can be used as potential candidates for the emulation of synapses for neuromorphic computing in spiking neural networks. The implementation of two major components of a synapse are shown: long term depression/potentiation by varying the amplitude/width/number of voltage pulses applied to the artificial FTJ synapse, and spike-timing-dependent-plasticity curves by applying time-delayed voltages at each electrode. These experimental findings show the potential of spiking neural networks and neuromorphic computing that can be implemented with hafnia-based FTJs.
Since the first experimental observation of all-optical switching phenomena, intensive research has been focused on finding suitable magnetic systems that can be integrated as storage elements within spintronic devices and whose magnetization can be
controlled through ultra-short single laser pulses. We report here atomistic spin simulations of all-optical switching in multilayered structures alternating n monolayers of Tb and m monolayers of Co. By using a two temperature model, we numerically calculate the thermal variation of the magnetization of each sublattice as well as the magnetization dynamics of [Tbn/Com] multilayers upon incidence of a single laser pulse. In particular, the condition to observe thermally-induced magnetization switching is investigated upon varying systematically both the composition of the sample (n,m) and the laser fluence. The samples with one monolayer of Tb as [Tb1/Co2] and [Tb1/Co3] are showing thermally induced magnetization switching above a fluence threshold. The reversal mechanism is mediated by the residual magnetization of the Tb lattice while the Co is fully demagnetized in agreement with the models developed for ferrimagnetic alloys. The switching is however not fully deterministic but the error rate can be tuned by the damping parameter. Increasing the number of monolayers the switching becomes completely stochastic. The intermixing at the Tb/Co interfaces appears to be a promising way to reduce the stochasticity. These results predict for the first time the possibility of TIMS in [Tb/Co] multilayers and suggest the occurrence of sub-picosecond magnetization reversal using single laser pulses.
In order to predict the more accurate shape information of the melt pool in Selective Laser Melting (SLM), a new finite element temperature field simulations model is proposed. The simulations use a new heat source model that takes into account the i
nfluence of the powder layout, the surface of the substrate and the changes in the thickness of the powder layer after fusion on the energy distribution. In order to construct this new heat source model, firstly an improved optimization method based on the gradient descent and the univariate search technique is proposed to simulate the powder layout, and then the laser beam propagation between the powder and the surface of the substrate is tracked and recorded to obtain the energy distribution. Finally, according to the distribution of laser energy between the powder layer and the surface of the substrate, the heat source model is divided into two parts: one is the surface of substrate heat source model being the Gaussian distribution, the other one is the powder layer heat source model-satisfying the Gaussian distribution on the horizontal plane, changes in the depth direction according to the functional relationship obtained by the fitting. In addition, the thickness change of the powder layer after fusion is analyzed, and is taken into account in the heat source model. The powder simulation results are compared with the powder scattering experiment results to verify the effectiveness of the powder model. Comparing the temperature field simulation with the experiment, the results show that the predicted molten pool width relative error is 6.4%, and the connect width error is 9.6%, which has better accuracy and verifies the validity of the temperature field simulation model.
