Surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter with a low insertion loss (IL) of 4.415 dB has been demonstrated on Carbon-doped semi-insulating c-plane bulk GaN without external lumped element matching. The center frequency, 3 dB bandwidth, out-of-band attenuation, return loss of the filter are 477.

Metabolic profiling and transcriptome analysis provide insights into the accumulation of flavonoids in chayote fruit during storage.

Chayote () fruits are rich in flavonoids, folate, and low-calorie food. However, studies about the flavonoids and the corresponding regulatory mechanism of flavonoid synthesis in chayote fruits was still unclear. In present study, an integrated transcriptome and metabolite analysis of chayote fruits at three different storage stages were conducted to explore the flavonoid compositions and gene expression associated with flavonoid synthesis.

An Experimental and Theoretical Study of Impact of Device Parameters on Performance of AlN/Sapphire-Based SAW Temperature Sensors.

The impact of device parameters, including AlN film thickness (), number of interdigital transducers (), and acoustic propagation direction, on the performance of -plane AlN/sapphire-based SAW temperature sensors with an acoustic wavelength () of 8 μm, was investigated. The results showed that resonant frequency () decreased linearly, the quality factor () decreased and the electromechanical coupling coefficient (Kt2) increased for all the sensors with temperature increasing from -50 to 250 °C. The temperature coefficients of frequency (TCFs) of sensors on AlN films with thicknesses of 0.

E/D-Mode GaN Inverter on a 150-mm Si Wafer Based on p-GaN Gate E-Mode HEMT Technology.

AlGaN/GaN E/D-mode GaN inverters are successfully fabricated on a 150-mm Si wafer. P-GaN gate technology is applied to be compatible with the commercial E-mode GaN power device technology platform and a systematic study of E/D-mode GaN inverters has been conducted with detail. The key electrical characters have been analyzed from room temperature (RT) to 200 °C.

Method of the out-of-band rejection improvement of the AlN based surface acoustic wave filters.

AlN based surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters with an acoustic wavelength (λ) of 8 µm have been fabricated based on sputtered AlN films on sapphire. The acoustic velocity of 1-µm-AlN/Sapphire bilayer structure is 5536 m/s, 60% higher than that of LiNbO. The central frequency, insertion loss, out-of-band rejection, and bandwidth of fabricated AlN based two-port type SAW filters with a delay gap of λ are 692 MHz, 25.

Rapid qualitative and quantitative determination of food colorants by both Raman spectra and Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS).

Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) spectroscopy technology is widely used in materials analysis, environmental monitoring, biomedical, food security and other fields. Flower-shaped silver nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized by a simple aqueous phase silver nitrate reduction by ascorbic acid in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) surfactant. The nanoparticles diameters were adjusted from 450 to 1000nm with surface protrusions up to 10-25nm.

Top-down fabrication of vertical silicon nano-rings based on Poisson diffraction.

Vertical Si nano-rings with a uniform thickness of about 100 nm have been fabricated by conventional optical photolithography with a low cost based on Poisson diffraction. Moreover, the roughness of the Si nano-rings can be effectively reduced by sacrificial oxidation. In order to increase the density of the nano-rings, coaxial twin Si nano-rings have been fabricated by the Poisson diffraction method combined with the spacer technique.
