Study of High-Performance GaN-Based Trench CAVET with Stepped Doping Microstructure.

In this article, an innovative GaN-based trench current-aperture vertical electron transistor (CAVET) with a stepped doping microstructure is proposed and studied using Silvaco-ATLAS. According to the simulation and analyzed characteristics, the best performance renders a remarkable Baliga's figure of merit (FOM) of 4.767 GW·cm owing to the modulation of the electric-field distribution.

Study of Normally-Off AlGaN/GaN HEMT with Microfield Plate for Improvement of Breakdown Voltage.

In this paper, we introduce a new type of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) with microfield plate (FP). We use Silvaco-ATLAS two-dimensional numerical simulation to calculate the performance of conventional HEMT and HEMT with micro-FP and analyze its principle. By studying a new charge balance method provided by HEMTs and micro-FPs, the physical mechanism of FP adjusting the HEMT potential distribution and channel electric field distribution is analyzed.

Improving the External Quantum Efficiency of High-Power GaN-Based Flip-Chip LEDs by Using Sidewall Composite Reflective Micro Structure.

For high-power applications, it is important to improve the light extraction efficiency and light output of the vertical direction of LEDs. Flip-chip LEDs (FCLEDs) with an Ag/SiO/distributed Bragg reflector/SiO composite reflection micro structure (CRS) were fabricated. Compared with the normal Ag-based FCLEDs, the light output power of the CRS-FCLEDs was increased by 6.

Metabolomic and Pathway Changes in Large-Leaf, Middle-Leaf and Small-Leaf Cultivars of Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze var. niaowangensis.

As an economically important crop, tea is widely cultivated in more than 50 countries and has numerous health benefits. Metabolomics has considerable advantages in the analysis of small molecules and has been widely used in tea science. We applied a metabolomic method to evaluate the dynamic changes in metabolites and pathways in the large-, middle- and small-leaf cultivars of Camellia sinensis (L.

Transcriptome profiling analysis of tea plant (Camellia sinensis) using Oxford Nanopore long-read RNA-Seq technology.

Transcriptome profiles have been widely captured using short-read sequencing technology, but there are still limitations partially due to the read length. Here, we generated long reads using Oxford Nanopore PromethION™ technology and short reads using the Illumina sequencing platform to study the transcriptome of root, stem, and leaf of Camellia sinensis cv. Fudingdabai.

Fabrication of Graphene-Metal Transparent Conductive Nanocomposite Layers for Photoluminescence Enhancement.

In this work, the synthesis and characterization ofgraphene-metal nanocomposite, a transparent conductive layer, is examined. This transparent conductive layer is named graphene-Ag-graphene (GAG), which makes full use of the high electron mobility and high conductivity characteristics of graphene, while electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is induced by Ag nanoparticles (NPs). The nanocomposite preparation technique delivers three key parts including the transfer of the first layer graphene, spin coating of Ag NPs and transfer of the second layer of graphene.

Excitation of direction-tunable surface plasmon polaritons by using a rectangular array of silver nanodisks.

Use of dipole-like localized surface plasmons (LSPs) induced on a rectangular array of silver nanodisks to excite directional surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) on a flat silver film is demonstrated. By modifying the spectral resonance of the LSPs, an effective coupling of the incident light into the SPPs has been achieved at operational wavelength of λ = 628 nm. The maximum SPP intensity exceeds 25% of the incident intensity.

Development and characterization of 15 microsatellite markers for Cephalotaxus fortunei (Cephalotaxaceae).

Premise Of The Study: To survey population variation and the adaptive evolution of Cephalotaxus fortunei (Cephalotaxaceae), an endemic and endangered conifer in China, microsatellite markers were developed and characterized for this species.

Proposal of a wavelength filter with a cut corner based on Equilateral-Triangle-Resonator.

We propose an equilateral triangle resonator filter with an output waveguide and analyzed by the finite-difference time-domain technique. The filter can realize directional output with a high Q mode by means of the mode-field coupled into the output waveguide, which results a reduction in the scattering loss at the vertices. In addition, to the deformed equilateral triangle resonator filter, an optimum parameter with a cut corner of 0.
