Interface dipole evolution from the hybrid coupling between nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots and polyethylenimine featuring the electron transport thin layer at Al/Si interfaces by Sasimontra Timjan, Ta-Cheng Wei, Kuan-Han Lin, Yi-Ting Li, Po-Hsuan Hsiao, Chia-Yun Chen

“…In this work, the hybrid design of ETL, obtained from the solution-processed nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (NCQDs) incorporated with organic polyethylenimine (PEI) demonstrates the feasible contact characteristics for the modification of Si/Al contacts, which greatly facilitates the transport and collection of photoexcited electrons in the Si-based optoelectronics. The aspects of microstructures, functional groups, chemical features, interfacial characteristics and band structures of NCQD/PEI are explicated, visualizing that the evolution of interface dipoles mediated by the overall outcome of physisorption and chemisorption effects, modifies the surface potential difference and results in the explicit reduction of the Al work function from 4.3 eV for pristine Al to 3.23 eV based on the optimized constitutional design (0.10 % NCQD in PEI). …”

Effects of curing temperature and age on the mechanical properties and damage law of coal-based solid waste cemented backfill by Xiang He, Longqiang Wei, Ke Yang, Zhiqiang Wen, Lianfu Zhang, Yongqiang Hou

“…Since the curing temperature and age play an essential role in affecting the strength of the backfill, the uniaxial compression test, acoustic emission damage monitoring, and microscopic scanning electron microscopy were carried out on the standard cube specimens with the curing temperature of 20, 27, 35, 42.5 and 50 °C (accompanied by the curing age of 3, 7, 14 and 28 days, respectively). The microstructure evolution and damage constitutive model of coal-based waste cemented backfill (CWCB) were discussed to reveal how CWCB strength develops. …”
