Eutrophication levels increase sulfur biotransformation and emissions from sediments of Lake Taihu.

Eutrophication can stimulate the emissions of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) accompanied by variations in environmental variables in lakes. However, the effects of eutrophication on VSC emissions from lake sediments as well as the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, depth gradient sediments at different eutrophication levels and seasons were collected from Lake Taihu to investigate the response of sulfur biotransformation in the sediments to eutrophication based on the analysis of environmental variables, microbial activity, abundance and community structure.

Photosensitive Dielectric 2D Perovskite Based Photodetector for Dual Wavelength Demultiplexing.

Stacked 2D perovskites provide more possibilities for next generation photodetector with more new features. Compared with its excellent optoelectronic properties, the good dielectric performance of metal halide perovskite rarely comes into notice. Here, a bifunctional perovskite based photovoltaic detector capable of two wavelength demultiplexing is demonstrated.

Eutrophic levels and algae growth increase emissions of methane and volatile sulfur compounds from lakes.

Eutrophic lakes are hot spots of CH and volatile sulfur compound (VSC) emissions, especially during algal blooms and decay. However, the response of CH and VSC emissions to lake eutrophication and algae growth as well as the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, the emissions of CH and VSCs from four regions of Lake Taihu with different eutrophic levels were investigated in four months (i.

[Optical Properties Investigation of p-Type ZnO Film Based on Doping by Diffusion].

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the optical properties of p-type ZnO film based on P doping. ZnO film was grown by Atomic layer deposition (ALD) on InP subsrate in this experiment, and phosphorus diffused into ZnO lattice by annealing treatment at different temperature (500, 700 ⁰C). The optical properties of samples were investigated by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, which indicated that the annealing temperature is the important factor influencing the phosphorus diffusion doping.

Alternative Spectral Photoresponse in a p-Cu2ZnSnS4/n-GaN Heterojunction Photodiode by Modulating Applied Voltage.

We report alternative visible and ultraviolet light response spectra in a p-Cu2ZnSnS4 (p-CZTS)/n-GaN heterojunction photodiode. A CZTS film was deposited on an n-GaN/sapphire substrate using a magnetron sputtering method. Current-voltage characteristic of the p-CZTS/n-GaN heterojunction photodiode showed a good rectifying behavior.

[Preparation of Mg(x)Zn(1-x)O nanofibers using PVP nanofibers as templates by atom layer deposition and their optical properties].

In the present paper, Mg(x)Zn(1-x)O nanofibers with different doping concentration were prepared by atom layer deposition (ALD) using polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) nanofibers as template, which were synthesized by electrospinning. The influence of different Mg doping concentration on the structure and optical properties of composite nanofibers was investigated. The samples were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), ultraviolet visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) spectra.

In the present paper, MgxZn1-xO and MgxZn1-xO/Au/MgxZn1-xO multilayer structures of transparent conductive film were prepared by the simple operation of sol-gel and RF magnetron sputtering method on quartz substrate respectively and then they were annealed. The surface, electrical, crystal and optical properties of the films at different annealing temperature were determined by UV-Vis spectrophotometer, X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence and Hall effect, respectively. The influence of annealing temperature on the films was also investigated.

[Effects of annealing temperature on the structure and optical properties of ZnMgO films prepared by atom layer deposition].

In the present paper, we report the research on the effects of annealing temperature on the crystal quality and optical properties of ZnMgO films deposited by atom layer deposition(ALD). ZnMgO films were prepared on quartz substrates by ALD and then some of the samples were treated in air ambient at different annealing temperature. The effects of annealing temperature on the crystal quality and optical properties of ZnMgO films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectra.

A template and catalyst-free metal-etching-oxidation method to synthesize aligned oxide nanowire arrays: NiO as an example.

Although NiO is one of the canonical functional binary oxides, there has been no report so far on the effective fabrication of aligned single crystalline NiO nanowire arrays. Here we report a novel vapor-based metal-etching-oxidation method to synthesize high-quality NiO nanowire arrays with good vertical alignment and morphology control. In this method, Ni foils are used as both the substrates and the nickel source; NiCl(2) powder serves as the additional Ni source and provides Cl(2) to initiate mild etching.
