Chemical doping of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by adsorption with high-temperature-tolerant molecules is required for the fabrication of various types of electronic devices for their performance maintenance under harsh thermal conditions during the fabrication and operation processes. Here, we demonstrate the fabrication of CNT thin film pn junction diodes using a combination of 1,4,5,8,9,11-hexaazatriphenylenehexacarbonitrile as a p-dopant and a complex salt of potassium hydroxide and benzo-18-crown-6 ether as an n-dopant. The fabricated devices demonstrated a reasonably stable rectifying behavior, even after heating to 200 °C for 300 min.

In this study, we developed C60 reactive diamond composite particles for the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) of diamond substrates by applying the high hardness and high reactivity of the C60 molecule. When diamond substrates were polished using these C60 diamond composite particles, the polished surface was found to be superior to that of diamond particles. In addition, when the composite particles were irradiated with ultraviolet light to produce polishing fine particles, the polishing rate was improved by about 30%. These results indicate that the composite nanoparticles that reacted with C60 have the potential to remove even the hardest of diamond substrates.

The decomposition of Cu-Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (Cu-EDTA) using a pulsed streamer discharge in contact with liquid is reported under various experimental conditions, and the efficacy of OH radicals is investigated. The change in Cu-EDTA concentration was characterized using high-performance liquid chromatography. H2O2, NO2−, NO3−, and O3 were detected using water inspection test kits and an UV-visual spectrophotometer. The OH yield was estimated using a colorimetric method with disodium terephthalate. The results revealed that approximately 70% of the Cu-EDTA decomposed with an energy efficiency of 15 mmol kWh−1 in the Ar discharge, whereas the decomposition rate and energy efficiency in the air discharge were 80% and 16 mmol kWh−1, respectively, within 60 min of treatment. The decomposition in Ar was primarily driven by the OH generated during discharge, whereas a combined effect of O3 and OH was observed during air discharge. The discharge-generated OH was the dominant species in Cu-EDTA decomposition in this study.

Acoustic metasurfaces have shown great promise for applications in many acoustic wave modulation fields, while the use of intelligent optimization algorithms has facilitated the design of acoustic metasurfaces. In this paper, we utilize the stop band properties of phononic crystals to design a metasurface that can achieve both transmission focusing and reflection focusing, as well as a metasurface that utilizes acoustic focusing to filter the incident acoustic wave. In order to achieve the best effect, this paper uses the taboo genetic algorithm to optimize the arrangement order of the structural units controlling different focuses in the acoustic metasurface, and the optimization achieves a good focusing effect, which expands the design of acoustic metasurfaces as well as the application scenarios of acoustic focusing.

The escalating demand for improved energy conversion efficiency in vehicular applications of solar cells underscores the need for innovative solutions. This study focuses on enhancing the current density of GaAs middle cells within conventional Ge-based triple-junction solar cells to realize unprecedented levels of energy conversion efficiency. We introduced a novel superlattice configuration termed a compressively strained superlattice (CSSL) and demonstrated its integration into a p-i-n junction GaAs solar cell, achieving a current density increase of 1.03 mA cm−2 over conventional GaAs solar cells. Prior investigations have explored a strain-balanced superlattice (SBSL) to enhance GaAs middle cell current density. However, our findings establish the superiority of the CSSL over the SBSL in terms of current density improvement, with the CSSL featuring 1.59 times more quantum wells per unit length than the SBSL. This increase in quantum well quantity significantly enhances light absorption efficiency and consequently, the current density.

We reported the growth of (AlGa)2O3 layers on (10 ) α-Al2O3 substrates using cold-wall metalorganic chemical vapor deposition, and the electrical characterization of Si-doped (AlGa)2O3 layers. In the Ga2O3 growth, the α phase was dominant at low growth temperature, achieving the growth rate of 2.4 μm h−1 at 650 °C. Sheet resistance and electrical conductivity of the Ga2O3 layers with a Si concentration of 3 × 1020 cm−3 were 1 × 104 Ω/square and 8.3 S cm−1, respectively, at the measurement temperature of 500 °C. The Al composition in the (AlGa)2O3 layers was controlled from 0% to 74%. In our initial attempts, we obtained electrically conductive α-(AlGa)2O3 layers by Si doping (2 × 10−9 S cm−1 in the sample with an Al composition of 56%). Hybrid functional calculations suggest the conductivities are limited by compensation of Si through cation vacancy complexes, and not by the significant amounts of co-incorporated C and N that are predicted to be electrically passivated by hydrogen.

The effects of helium plasma irradiation, which has been widely studied on metals, on germanium have been experimentally investigated. The irradiation temperature ranges from 430 to 720 K, and the incident ion energy ranges from 30 to 100 eV. From the scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation, it was found that various morphological changes including pits, nanocones, nanopillars, and roughened surfaces occur. The spatial scale of the morphological change was analyzed by applying fast Fourier transform to SEM micrographs. Thermal desorption spectroscopy analysis suggests that He atoms implanted on Ge play major roles in forming roughened surfaces at a surface temperature higher than 500 K.

Large-scale fabrication of thulium iron garnet (TmIG) films on gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG) substrates, with a total area of 25 cm2, has been demonstrated by rotating substrate holders during on-axis sputtering. By optimizing the growth parameters based on the pressure and flow rate of the oxygen ratio, a Tm/Fe ratio of 0.65 was obtained, which is close to the stoichiometry of TmIG. The increase in post-annealing temperature has induced the growth of the TmIG structure by the strain of the lattice constant mechanism. At the highest post-annealing temperature, the crystal structure of TmIG (444) and the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) were obtained. This result demonstrates the potential method for large-scale fabrication of TmIG film with PMA.

Brillouin optical correlation-domain reflectometry (BOCDR) allows for relatively high spatial resolution and random accessibility with single-end light injection into the sensing fiber. Typically, BOCDR relies on directly modulating the laser diode’s driving current, which facilitates sinusoidal frequency modulation for distributed sensing but also introduces unintended power modulation that can degrade performance. To address these power variations, external-modulation BOCDR using a double-sideband modulator has been developed. However, this method generates substantial noise, overpowering the Brillouin signal and impeding accurate strain and temperature measurements. This study clarifies the previously unexplained noise mechanisms and suggests system design optimizations to mitigate their impact.

We constructed a gamma-ray imager that estimates the distribution of gamma-ray sources based on the response patterns of multiple gamma-ray detectors randomly positioned in three-dimensional space. The Coded Cube Camera for Gamma-ray (C3G), comprising eight Gd3Al2Ga3O12 (Ce) scintillator and eighteen lead cubes is housed in a cubical casing with an 86 mm edge length and weighs approximately 600 g. The results of the 4π imaging experiment confirmed the feasibility of imaging a 10 MBq 137Cs source 3 m away for a 10 min measurement. C3G operates with only eight channels, instead of the hundreds needed by a typical imager. This setup allows for a simplified circuit and reconstruction algorithm, resulting in a cost-effective and reliable system. With its compact and lightweight design and 4π field of view, this technology is expected to find extensive applications in astronomy, medicine, nuclear security, and decommissioning projects.
