    摘要: A novel method to prepare an advanced thermoelectric material has hierarchical structures embedded with nanometer-sized voids which are key to enhancement of the thermoelectric performance. Solution-based thin film deposition technique enables preparation of stable film of thermoelectric material and void generator (voigen). A subsequent thermal process creates hierarchical nanovoid structure inside the thermoelectric material. Potential application areas of this advanced thermoelectric material with nanovoid structure are commercial applications (electronics cooling), medical and scientific applications (biological analysis device, medical imaging systems), telecommunications, and defense and military applications (night vision equipments).

    摘要: Growth conditions are developed, based on a temperature-dependent alignment model, to enable formation of cubic group IV, group II-V and group II-VI crystals in the [111] orientation on the basal (0001) plane of trigonal crystal substrates, controlled such that the volume percentage of primary twin crystal is reduced from about 40% to about 0.3%, compared to the majority single crystal. The control of stacking faults in this and other embodiments can yield single crystalline semiconductors based on these materials that are substantially without defects, or improved thermoelectric materials with twinned crystals for phonon scattering while maintaining electrical integrity. These methods can selectively yield a cubic-on-trigonal epitaxial semiconductor material in which the cubic layer is substantially either directly aligned, or 60 degrees-rotated from, the underlying trigonal material.

    摘要: A lock-in imaging system is configured for detecting a disturbance in air. The system includes an airplane, an interferometer, and a telescopic imaging camera. The airplane includes a fuselage and a pair of wings. The airplane is configured for flight in air. The interferometer is operatively disposed on the airplane and configured for producing an interference pattern by splitting a beam of light into two beams along two paths and recombining the two beams at a junction point in a front flight path of the airplane during flight. The telescopic imaging camera is configured for capturing an image of the beams at the junction point. The telescopic imaging camera is configured for detecting the disturbance in air in an optical path, based on an index of refraction of the image, as detected at the junction point.

    摘要: A method provides X-ray diffraction data suitable for integral detection of a twin defect in a strained or lattice-matched epitaxial material made from components having crystal structures having symmetry belonging to different space groups. The material is mounted in an X-ray diffraction (XRD) system. In one embodiment, the XRD system's goniometer angle Ω is set equal to (θB−β) where θB is a Bragg angle for a designated crystal plane of the alloy that is disposed at a non-perpendicular orientation with respect to the {111) crystal plane, and β is the angle between the designated crystal plane and a {111} crystal plane of one of the epitaxial components. The XRD system's detector angle is set equal to (θB+β). The material can be rotated through an angle of azimuthal rotation φ about the axis aligned with the material. Using the detector, the intensity of the X-ray diffraction is recorded at least at the angle at which the twin defect occurs.
