<div>Colloidal semiconductor nanoplatelets exhibit exceptionally narrow photoluminescence spectra. This occurs because samples can be synthesized in which all nanoplatelets share the same atomic-scale thickness. As this dimension sets the emission wavelength, inhomogeneous linewidth broadening due to size variation, which is always present in samples of quasi-spherical nanocrystals (quantum dots), is essentially eliminated. Nanoplatelets thus offer improved, spectrally pure emitters for various applications. Unfortunately, due to their non-equilibrium shape, nanoplatelets also suffer from low photo-, chemical, and thermal stability, which limits their use. Moreover, their poor stability hampers the development of efficient synthesis protocols for adding high-quality protective inorganic shells, which are well known to improve the performance of quantum dots. <br></div><div>Herein, we report a general synthesis approach to highly emissive and stable core/shell nanoplatelets with various shell compositions, including CdSe/ZnS, CdSe/CdS/ZnS, CdSe/Cd<sub>x</sub>Zn<sub>1–x</sub>S, and CdSe/ZnSe. Motivated by previous work on quantum dots, we find that slow, high-temperature growth of shells containing a compositional gradient reduces strain-induced crystal defects and minimizes the emission linewidth while maintaining good surface passivation and nanocrystal uniformity. Indeed, our best core/shell nanoplatelets (CdSe/Cd<sub>x</sub>Zn<sub>1–x</sub>S) show photoluminescence quantum yields of 90% with linewidths as low as 56 meV (19.5 nm at 655 nm). To confirm the high quality of our different core/shell nanoplatelets for a specific application, we demonstrate their use as gain media in low-threshold ring lasers. More generally, the ability of our synthesis protocol to engineer high-quality shells can help further improve nanoplatelets for optoelectronic devices.</div>

Abstract We have isolated 440 mutants of Salmonella typhimurium that show temperature-sensitive growth on complex medium at 44 degrees. Approximately 16% of the mutations in these strains have been mapped to 17 chromosomal locations; two of these chromosomal locations seem to include several essential genes. Genetic analysis of the mutations suggests that the collection saturates the genes readily mutable to a ts lethal phenotype in S. typhimurium. Physiological characteristics of the ts lethal mutants were tested: 6% of the mutants can grow at high temperature under anaerobic conditions, 17% can grow when the medium includes 0.5 M KCl, and 9% of the mutants die after a 2-hr incubation at the nonpermissive temperature. Most ts lethal mutations in this collection probably affect genes required for growth at all temperatures (not merely during high temperature growth) since Tn10 insertions that cause a temperature-sensitive lethal phenotype are rare.

ABSTRACTThe influence of growth temperature on oxygen incorporation into GaN epitaxial layers was studied. GaN layers deposited at low temperatures were characterized by much higher oxygen concentration than those deposited at high temperature typically used for epitaxial growth. GaN buffer layers (HT GaN) about 1 μm thick were deposited on GaN nucleation layers (NL) with various thicknesses. The influence of NL thickness on crystalline quality and oxygen concentration of HT GaN layers were studied using RBS and SIMS. With increasing thickness of NL the crystalline quality of GaN buffer layers deteriorates and the oxygen concentration increases. It was observed that oxygen atoms incorporated at low temperature in NL diffuse into GaN buffer layer during high temperature growth as a consequence GaN NL is the source for unintentional oxygen doping.

AbstractWith excellent creep resistance, good high-temperature microstructural stability and good irradiation resistance, oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) alloys are a class of important alloys that are promising for high-temperature applications. However, plagued by a nerve-wracking fact that the oxide particles tend to aggregate at grain boundary of metal matrix, their improvement effect on the mechanical properties of metal matrix tends to be limited. In this work, we employ a unique in-house synthesized oxide@W core-shell nanopowder as precursor to prepare W-based ODS alloy. After low-temperature sintering and high-energy-rate forging, high-density oxide nanoparticles are dispersed homogeneously within W grains in the prepared alloy, accompanying with the intergranular oxide particles completely disappearing. As a result, our prepared alloy achieves a great enhancement of strength and ductility at room temperature. Our strategy using core-shell powder as precursor to prepare high-performance ODS alloy has potential to be applied to other dispersion-strengthened alloy systems.

Ising core-shell model was proposed to reconstruct superparamagnetism hysteresis in nano-goethite (α-FeOOH). Core and shell set as antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic state respectively. Core and shell radius varies until the theoretical hysteresis fit with experiment hysteresis. At low temperature, the hysteresis reconstructed nicely with 55% antiferromagnetic core contribution and 45% paramagnetic shell contribution. At high temperature, the core-shell model show unrealistic result compared to the pure paramagnetic state.
