Statistical estimation of the cluster fractal dimension by using Ripley＇s K-function has advantages in comparison with the more commonly used methods of box-counting and cluster fractal dimension estimation because it corrects for edge effects, not only for rectangular study areas but also for study areas with curved boundaries determined by re- gional geology. Application of box-counting to estimate the fractal dimension of point patterns has the disadvantage that, in general, it is subject to relatively strong ＂roll-off＂ effects for smaller boxes. Point patterns used for example in this paper are mainly for gold deposits in the Abitibi volcanic belt on the Canadian Shield. Additionally, it is proposed that, worldwide, the local point patterns of podiform Cr, volcanogenic massive sulphide and porphyry copper deposits, which are spatially distributed within irregularly shaped favorable tracts, satisfy the fractal clustering model with similar fractal dimensions. The problem of deposit size （metal tonnage） is also considered. Several examples are provided of cases in which the Pareto distribution provides good results for the largest deposits in metal size-frequency distribution modeling.展开更多

The optimal brightness of the device is 69932 cd/m2 at a voltage of 13 V, and the Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage （CIE） chromaticity coordinates are almost constant during a large voltage change of 6–12 V. Furthermore, a current efficiency of 15.3 cd/A at an illumination-relevant brightness of 1000 cd/m2 is obtained, which rolls off slightly to 13.0 cd/A at an ultra high brightness of 50000 cd/m2. We attribute this great performance to wisely selecting an appropriate spacer together with effectively utilizing the combinations of exciton-harvested orange-phosphorescence/blue-fluorescence in the device. Undoubtedly, this is one of the most exciting results in two-wavelength HWOLEDs up to now.展开更多

The phosphorescent organic lightemitting device （PHOLED） based on this novel TADF host material displays a stable red phosphorescence region, a peak external quantum efficiency （EQE） value of 12.9% and a low EQE roll-off of 38.8%at a luminance of 10000 cd/m2, which is benefited from the reverse intersystem crossing （RISC） of TADF host and less populated triplet exitons. Notably, the red device based on the TADF host DMBFrX exhibits superior electroluminescence performance and reduced efficiency roll-offcompared with the one hosted by commercially available host 1,3-bis（9-carbazolyl）benzene （mCP）, illustrating the high potential of employing the TADF host material with small energy gap to reduce efficiency roll-off in PHOLED.展开更多

Efforts have been paid to find ways to reduce the phosphors＇ concentration and efficiency roll-off of PHOLEDs. In this work, we reported red emission PHOLEDs with low dopant concentration and low efficiency roll-off based on a novel host material 2,4-biscyanophenyl-6-（12-phenylindole[2,3-a]carbazole-ll-yl）-1,3,5-triazine （BCPICT）, with thermally activated delayed fluorescent （TADF） properties. The device with 1.0% dopant concentration displayed a maximum external quantum efficiency of 10.7%. When the dopant concentration was increased to 2.0%, the device displayed a maximum external quantum efficiency of 10.5% and a low efficiency roll-off of 5.7% at 1000 cd/m^2.展开更多

The architecture used in the design is the multiple feedbacks for both filter networks. The simulated response characteristics show that both filters (R- and RC-filters) have their mid-band gains increasing with Q, while their bandwidths monotonically decreased with Q-values. The bandwidths are in the range of 22.23 dB to 62.97 dB and –55.49 dB to –50.81 dB (Q = 2 to 10) for R- and RC-filters respectively. At higher Q-values, R-filter showed better selectivity with a smaller bandwidth (400 Hz) at the edge of the pass band, when compared to 450 Hz for the RC-filter. The roll-off rate around –58.9 dB/decade for the R-filter appears to be that of a third-order filter response, while the RC-filter has its response in the range –106 to –132 dB/decade which is in the neighbourhood of an ideal sixth-order response (roll-off of 120 db/decade). A shift in the center frequency with Q was observed for the RC-filter only.展开更多

In this paper, recent progress on the investigation of the Vfb shift and the origin of the Vfb roll-off in the metal-gate/high-k pMOS stacks are reviewed. Methods that can alleviate the Vfb shift phenomenon are summarized and the future research trend is described.展开更多

The geometries, electronic structures, and the lowest-lying excited states of （DBQ）2Ir（acac） and （MDQ）2Ir（acac） were investigated via density functional theory-based approaches. A series of designed models of （DBQ）2Ir（dpis）, （DBQ）2Ir（tpip）, （MDQ）2Ir（dpis） and （MDQ）2Ir（tpip） was also calculated for comparison. The structures in the ground and excited states were optimized via B3LYP method. The lowest absorptions and emissions spectra were evaluated via TD-B3LYP and TD-PBE1PBE methods, The computational results reveal that the emission peaks of the designed complexes are at around 585-640 nm, which belong to the orange-yellow wavelength. The frontier molecular orbital properties indicate that the Ir（Ⅲ） complexes have low efficiency roll-off.展开更多

文摘Ionic thermally activated delayed fluorescence(TADF)emitters are rarely investigated due to their poor photoluminescence and electroluminescence performance.Herein,highly efficient ionic TADF emitters with charged donor–acceptor(D–A^(+))and D–A^(+)–D architectures are designed,innovatively based on the phosphonium cation electron acceptor.The symmetric D–A^(+)–D compound in doped film exhibits a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 0.91 and a short emission lifetime of 1.43 microseconds.Partially solution-processed organic lightemitting diodes based on these ionic TADF emitters achieve a maximum external quantum efficiency(EQE)of 18.3%and a peak luminance of 14,532 candelas per square meter(cd/m^(2))and show a small efficiency roll-off of 7.1%(EQE=17%)at a practical high luminance of 1000 cd/m^(2).These results demonstrate the high potential of phosphonium cations as promising electron acceptors to construct TADF emitters for high-performance electroluminescence devices.The current study opens up an appealing way for future exploitation of high-efficiency ionic TADF materials.

文摘2,7-Di（9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluoren-l-yl）-9H-thioxanthen-9-one （DMBFTX） with thermally activated delayed fluorescence （TADF） was well designed and synthesized. The phosphorescent organic lightemitting device （PHOLED） based on this novel TADF host material displays a stable red phosphorescence region, a peak external quantum efficiency （EQE） value of 12.9% and a low EQE roll-off of 38.8%at a luminance of 10000 cd/m2, which is benefited from the reverse intersystem crossing （RISC） of TADF host and less populated triplet exitons. Notably, the red device based on the TADF host DMBFrX exhibits superior electroluminescence performance and reduced efficiency roll-offcompared with the one hosted by commercially available host 1,3-bis（9-carbazolyl）benzene （mCP）, illustrating the high potential of employing the TADF host material with small energy gap to reduce efficiency roll-off in PHOLED.

文摘High cost of phosphors and significant efficiency roll-off at high brightness are the two main factors that limit the wide application of phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes （PHOLEDs）. Efforts have been paid to find ways to reduce the phosphors＇ concentration and efficiency roll-off of PHOLEDs. In this work, we reported red emission PHOLEDs with low dopant concentration and low efficiency roll-off based on a novel host material 2,4-biscyanophenyl-6-（12-phenylindole[2,3-a]carbazole-ll-yl）-1,3,5-triazine （BCPICT）, with thermally activated delayed fluorescent （TADF） properties. The device with 1.0% dopant concentration displayed a maximum external quantum efficiency of 10.7%. When the dopant concentration was increased to 2.0%, the device displayed a maximum external quantum efficiency of 10.5% and a low efficiency roll-off of 5.7% at 1000 cd/m^2.
文摘In this paper a comparison of a sixth-order active band pass R-filter output response with the output response of a sixth-order band pass RC-filter at different quality factors (Q = 2, 5, 7, 8 and 10) was carried out at a fixed frequency of 10 KHz. The architecture used in the design is the multiple feedbacks for both filter networks. The simulated response characteristics show that both filters (R- and RC-filters) have their mid-band gains increasing with Q, while their bandwidths monotonically decreased with Q-values. The bandwidths are in the range of 22.23 dB to 62.97 dB and –55.49 dB to –50.81 dB (Q = 2 to 10) for R- and RC-filters respectively. At higher Q-values, R-filter showed better selectivity with a smaller bandwidth (400 Hz) at the edge of the pass band, when compared to 450 Hz for the RC-filter. The roll-off rate around –58.9 dB/decade for the R-filter appears to be that of a third-order filter response, while the RC-filter has its response in the range –106 to –132 dB/decade which is in the neighbourhood of an ideal sixth-order response (roll-off of 120 db/decade). A shift in the center frequency with Q was observed for the RC-filter only.

文摘In metal-gate/high-k stacks adopted by the 45 nm technology node, the fiat-band voltage （Vfb） shift remains one of the most critical challenges, particularly the flat-band voltage roll-off （Vfb roll-off） phenomenon in p-channel metal- oxide-semiconductor （pMOS） devices with an ultrathin oxide layer. In this paper, recent progress on the investigation of the Vfb shift and the origin of the Vfb roll-off in the metal-gate/high-k pMOS stacks are reviewed. Methods that can alleviate the Vfb shift phenomenon are summarized and the future research trend is described.

文摘The electronic structures and spectroscopic properties of heteroleptic cyclometalated iridium（Ⅲ） complexes were investigated. The geometries, electronic structures, and the lowest-lying excited states of （DBQ）2Ir（acac） and （MDQ）2Ir（acac） were investigated via density functional theory-based approaches. A series of designed models of （DBQ）2Ir（dpis）, （DBQ）2Ir（tpip）, （MDQ）2Ir（dpis） and （MDQ）2Ir（tpip） was also calculated for comparison. The structures in the ground and excited states were optimized via B3LYP method. The lowest absorptions and emissions spectra were evaluated via TD-B3LYP and TD-PBE1PBE methods, The computational results reveal that the emission peaks of the designed complexes are at around 585-640 nm, which belong to the orange-yellow wavelength. The frontier molecular orbital properties indicate that the Ir（Ⅲ） complexes have low efficiency roll-off.
文摘A generalized threshold voltage model based on two-dimensional Poisson analysis has been developed for SOI/SON MOSFETs.Different short channel field effects,such as fringing fields,junction-induced lateral fields and substrate fields,are carefully investigated,and the related drain-induced barrier-lowering effects are incorporated in the analytical threshold voltage model.Through analytical model-based simulation,the threshold voltage roll-off and subthreshold slope for both structures are compared for different operational and structural parameter variations.Results of analytical simulation are compared with the results of the ATLAS 2D physics-based simulator for verification of the analytical model.The performance of an SON MOSFET is found to be significantly different from a conventional SOI MOSFET.The short channel effects are found to be reduced in an SON,thereby resulting in a lower threshold voltage roll-off and a smaller subthreshold slope.This type of analysis is quite useful to figure out the performance improvement of SON over SOI structures for next generation short channel MOS devices.

文摘Phosphorescent and thermally activated delayed fluorescence(TADF)emitters can break through the spin statistics rules and achieve great success in external quantum efficiency(over 5%).However,maintaining high efficiency at high brightness is a tremendous challenge for applications of organic light emitting diodes.Hence,we reported two phenanthroimidazole derivatives PPI-An-CN and PPI-An-TP and achieved extremely low efficiency roll-off with about 99%of the maximum external quantum efficiency(EQEmax)maintained even at a high luminance of 1000 cd/cm2 based non-doped devices.When doping the two materials in CBP(4,4'-bis(N-carbazolyl)-1,1'-biphenyl),the doped devices still exhibited excellent stability at high brightness with CIEy≈0.07 and low turn-on voltage of only 2.8 V.The state-ofthe-art low efficiency roll-off makes the new materials attractive for potential applications.It is the first time that the Fragment Contribution Analysis method has been used to analyze the excited state properties of the molecules in the field of OLEDs,which helps us understand the mechanism more intuitively and deeply.

文摘The layered semiconducting transition metal dichaloogenides(S-TMDs)have attracted considerable interest as the channel material for field-effect transistors(FETs).However,the multilayer S-TMD transistors usually exhibit considerable threshold voltage(Vn)shit and ambipolar behavior at high source-drain bias,which is undesirable for modern digital electronics.Here we report the design and fabrication of double feedback gate(FBG)transistors,i.e.,source FBG(S-FBG)and drain FBG(D-FBG),to combat these challenges.The FBG transistors differ from normal transistors by including an extra feedback gate,which is directly connected t0 the source/drain electrodes by extending and overlapping the source/drain electrodes over the yttrium oxide dielectrics on s-TMDs.We show that the S-FBG transistors based on mutilayer MoSg exhibit nearly negligible VIn rlloff at large source drain bias,and the D-FBG mutilayer WSe2 transistors could be tailored into either n-type or p-type transport,depending on the polarity of the drain bias.The double FBG structure offers an effective strategy to tailor multilayer s-TMD transistors with suppressed Vn roll-off and ambipolar transport for high-performance and low-power logic applications.

文摘Organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs),which have been recently utilized in some flat-panel display screens such as mobile phones and televisions,show many merits,including light weight,high flexibility,energy preservation,and so forth,and are considered the next-generation displays and solid-state lightings.Blue-emitting materials that can be applied in nondoped OLEDs with little efficiency roll-offs at high brightness are of great importance.Here,a highly efficient,blue-emitting material,9-phenyl10-(4-(pyren-1-yl)phenyl)-9H-pyreno[4,5-d]imidazole(PyPI-Py),is achieved using pyrene[4,5-d]imidazole and pyrene as the weak electron donor and electron acceptor,respectively.The nondoped blue OLED exhibits excellent performance with a maximum brightness of 75,687 cd m^(−2),a maximum current efficiency of 13.38 cd A−1,and a maximum external quantum efficiency(ηext)of 8.52%.Moreover,theηext is maintained at 8.35%and 8.05%at a brightness of 10,000 and 50,000 cd m^(−2),respectively,displaying extremely small efficiency roll-offs of 2.0%and 5.5%.The device characteristics are among the highest values for nondoped blue OLEDs and correspond to the best performance obtained for nondoped pyrene-based blue OLEDs.The superior performance is attributed to the proper donor–acceptor design strategy which results in a quasi-equivalent hybrid local and charge-transfer excited state with the maximum generation of an 82%fraction of singlet excitons.
