In this study, two kinds of two-dimensional (2D) complex gratings are proposed for a potential application as absorbing surfaces for solar cells in the visible and near-infrared wavelength regions, which are based on the superposition of multiple 2D simple gratings with different ridge heights for convex gratings or different groove depths for concave gratings, respectively. Silicon is selected as the complex grating material because it is common in micro/nanofabrication. Compared with one-dimensional (1D) gratings, the new structures present excellent radiative properties to rays from all directions. Besides, the new gratings can achieve satisfactory performance under both TM and TE waves, which cannot be easily obtained by 1D gratings. Furthermore, these two kinds of 2D complex gratings can both achieve higher absorptance in the whole of the interested spectral range by making full use of the microcavity resonance than 2D simple gratings with the same ridge height or groove depth. Taguchi method is employed as an efficient way of searching for the optimal profiles for the 2D complex gratings. The average spectral absorptance of the optimized structure for the 2D complex convex grating with two different ridge heights is above 0.93 within wavelength region from 0.3 to 1.1 μm for both TM and TE waves under normal incidence, which suggests that the proposed structures can be well suitable for solar absorber applications. The Finite-different time-domain (FDTD) method is used for all numerical calculations to obtain spectral absorptance of different structures.

The single-phase Y-α-sialon ceramics with highly optical transmittance were produced by hot pressing starting mixtures of Si3N4, AlN, Al2O3and Y2O3at 1900 °C for 0.5 h in a nitrogen atmosphere. The resultant sialon shows very high optical transparency in the near infrared wavelength region, about 70% for 0.8 mm thickness. In addition to highly transmittance, the Y-α-sialon also show high hardness (19 GPa) and well fracture toughness (4 MPa•m1/2), which attribute to the compound microstructure of uniform, equiaxed grain with a grain size of 2 μm and small aspect ration elongated α-sialon (<2) with a length no more than 5 μm. The high transparent was attribute to the uniform dense microstructure and pure single-phase α-sialon.

Despite the importance of spectral properties of woody tree structures, they are seldom represented in research related to forests, remote sensing, and reflectance modeling. This study presents a novel imaging multiangular measurement set-up that utilizes a mobile handheld hyperspectral camera (Specim IQ, 400–1000 nm), and can measure stem bark spectra in a controlled laboratory setting. We measured multiangular reflectance spectra of silver birch ( Roth), Scots pine ( L.) and Norway spruce ( (L.) Karst.) stem bark, and demonstrated the potential of using bark spectra in identifying tree species using a Support Vector Machine (SVM) based approach. Intraspecific reflectance variability was the lowest in visible (400–700 nm), and the highest in near-infrared (700–1000 nm) wavelength regions. Interspecific variation was the largest in the red, red-edge and near-infrared spectral bands. Spatial variation of reflectance along the tree height and different sides of the stem (north and south) were found. Both birch and pine had increased reflectance in the forward-scattering directions for visible to near-infrared wavelength regions, whilst spruce displayed the same only for the visible wavelength region. In addition, spruce had increased reflectance in the backward-scattering directions. In spite of the intraspecific variations, SVM could identify tree species with 88.8% overall accuracy when using pixel-specific spectra, and with 97.2% overall accuracy when using mean spectra per image. Based on our results it is possible to identify common boreal tree species based on their stem bark spectra using images from mobile hyperspectral cameras.Betula pendulaPinus sylvestrisPicea abies

This report presents the fabrication and characterization of x % Ni - InZnO (NIZO) Schottky diodes. The structural, optical and electrical properties of the fabricate Al/p-Si / x % Ni - InZnO /Au photodiodes were investigated. An average visible transmittance of about 75% - 85% has been obtained in the visible-light to near-infrared wavelength region. The optical bandgap was 3.17 ± 0.02 eV. Current-Voltage measurements were conducted to analyze the photodiode behavior under dark and light illumination. The reverse bias current increases together with increasing light illumination. The observed I-V results confirm the photoconductive and photovoltaic properties of the fabricated diode. There is an exponential relationship between the current and the voltage in the forward bias, confirming the rectification performance of the photodiode. The electrical properties of the fabricated photodiodes were evaluated using Cheung- Cheung and Norde’s methods. The transient photocurrent, capacitance-voltage-frequency and conductance-voltagefrequency plots indicate that the diode is very sensitive to light illumination. We also observe a strong correlation between capacitance and conductance on frequency, this was explained based on the presence of interface states. The obtained results suggest that the Ni-doped InZnO photodiodes can be useful in photovoltaic and optoelectronic applications.
