Following the photodissociation of o-fluorotoluene [o-C6H4(CH3)F] at 193 nm, rotationally resolved emission spectra of HF(1 <= v <= 4) in the spectral region of 2800-4000 cm(-1) are detected with a step-scan Fourier transform spectrometer. HF(v <= 4) shows nearly Boltzmann-type rotational distributions corresponding to a temperature similar to 1080 K; a short extrapolation from data in the period of 0.5-4.5 mu s leads to a nascent rotational temperature of 1130 +/- 100 K with an average rotational energy of 9 +/- 2 kJ mol(-1). The observed vibrational distribution of (v=1):(v=2):(v=3)=67.6: 23.2: 9.2 corresponds to a vibrational temperature of 5330 +/- 270 K. An average vibrational energy of 25 +/-(12)(3) kJ mol(-1) is derived based on the observed population of HF(1 <= v <= 3) and estimates of the population of HF (v=0 and 4) by extrapolation. Experiments performed on p-fluorotoluene [p-C6H4(CH3)F] yielded similar results with an average rotational energy of 9 +/- 2 kJ mol(-1) and vibrational energy of 26 +/-(12)(3) kJ mol(-1) for HF. The observed distributions of internal energy of HF in both cases are consistent with that expected for four-center elimination. A modified impulse model taking into account geometries and displacement vectors of transition states during bond breaking predicts satisfactorily the rotational excitation of HF. An observed vibrational energy of HF produced from fluorotoluene slightly smaller than that from fluorobenzene might indicate the involvement of seven-membered-ring isomers upon photolysis.

What is believed to be a novel phase-sensitive optical heterodyne interferometric ellipsometer is set up to characterize a twisted-nematic liquid crystal (TN-LC) by the elliptical parameters of the output polarization state. This ellipsometer presents the advantages of both polarized optical heterodyne interferometry and optical photometry, which introduce a polarization modulation that is capable of performing with high-sensitivity on phase detection in real time. The twist angle Phi and the untwisted phase retardation Gamma of TN-LC are measured precisely. The experimental results verify that a TN-LC can be treated as identical to an elliptical retarder.

本發明提供一種近紅外波段飛秒雷射在非晶矽退火的應用方法，其係利用紅外波段的超快鈦藍寶石雷射(Ultrafast Ti：Sapphire Laser)進行非晶矽的飛秒雷射退火(Femtosecond Laser Annealing, FLA)，樣品表面被超短脈衝照射的時候，超高的瞬時功率使得樣品表面發生對光子能量的非線性吸收並產生高密度的電漿，使得非晶矽達到融熔狀態。飛秒雷射退火藉由連續掃瞄的幫助可以將非晶矽再結晶成多晶矽，所得到的晶粒尺寸約可達0.8μm，再結晶過程所需要的雷射能量密度僅約45mJ/cm2。因此本發明提供一種近紅外波段飛秒雷射在非晶矽退火的應用，可得到晶粒尺寸大的多晶矽，較佳之表面平整度，再結晶過程所需雷射能量密度低，可增進製程效率及電晶體的載子遷移率。

Binary blend membranes of biodegradable poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) with poly(tetramethylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PTAT) copolymer were prepared by solution casting via air evaporation. The miscibility of PLLA/PTAT blends was studied by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and thermal mechanical analysis (TMA) in a tensile mode. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurement was carried out. The surface microstructure and tensile properties of the blend membranes were examined using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and tensile tester. It was concluded that PLLA/PTAT blends should be partially miscible for all ranges of compositions. Higher roughness and porosity were observed for the blend containing 50% PTAT, suggesting more phase separation occurred. The DSC analysis showed that the fusion enthalpy and crystallinity (X-c) of the PLLA-rich phase decreased with increasing PTAT content. Solidification process strongly suggested that the crystallization rate was accelerated by blending with 25% PTAT content, which served as the nucleation agent. Furthermore, the crystallization rate coefficient (CRC) depended on the blending miscibility and cooling rate in the non-isothermal crystallization process. Besides, PTAT addition could be proved to enhance the thermal stability and elongation of resulting blend membranes, even superior to those properties of poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA).

Highly stable organic light-emitting devices were made by using a uniformly mixed hole transport layer (UM-HTL) composed of a mixture of 2-methyl-9,10-di(2-naphthyl)anthracene (MADN) and N,N-bis(1-naphthyl)-N,N-'-diphenyl,1,1(')-biphenyl-4,4(')-diamine (NPB) in a 3:7 (MADN:NPB) ratio. The lifetime of 10-(2-benzothiazolyl)-1,1,7,7-tetramethyl-2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-1H,5H,11H-benzo[l]-pyrano[6,7,8-ij]quinolizin-11-one doped green device with UM-HTL can be greatly improved to 2.7 times longer than that of the conventional device (NPB based HTL) without impacting on its driving voltage and emissive color significantly. This improvement in stability can be attributed to the fact that the unstable [Alq(3)(+)] species formed by electro-oxidation have been effectively suppressed.

A surface-micromachined high-extinction-ratio polarizing beam splitter (PBS) using low absorptive silicon nitride layers for blue wavelength applications are demonstrated. The micro polarizing beam splitter consists of novel stack of two silicon nitride layers separated by an air gap. A PBS optimization model is established to achieve both high extinction-ratio and adequate process margin. The polarization extinction ratios of 25 dB for the reflected light and 15 dB for the transmitted light were experimentally achieved lambda=405 nm. The fabrication of the PBS is compatible with other micro diffractive elements to build a micro optical bench, thus, feasible for short wavelength optical storage applications.

Side-chain copolymers consisting of proton acceptors (stilbazoles) and proton donors (benzoic acids) connected to polyacrylate backbones with different methylene spacer lengths are prepared by tuning their donor/acceptor molar ratios. The H-bonded copolymer networks are formed once they were synthesized, and showed more homogenous phase behavior than the physical blending supramolecular networks composed of donor and acceptor homopolymers. Analogous monomer-monomer and polymer-monomer (H-bonded side-chain polymer) complexes of similar structures are also investigated. According to DSC, POM, and XRD studies, it reveals that the copolymers with various spacer lengths and donor/acceptor molar ratios show the smectic A (S-A) phase. The d spacing values of XRD results suggest that the H-bonded copolymers may be constructed by either a monolayer or an interdigitated bilayer structure. Generally, the d spacing values of copolymers (in the SA phase) increase with higher H-bonded crosslinking density between benzoic acids and stilbazoles, i.e. decrease with higher molar ratios of benzoic acids, which may be owing to the formation of hydrogen bonds between benzoic acids from different backbones. The isotropization temperatures of the H-bonded blends and copolymers increase as the molar ratios of benzoic acids increase, while the higher H-bonded crosslinking density between benzoic acids and stilbazoles stabilizes the liquid crystalline phase.

We demonstrate transmission of audio and burst signals through a prototype THz analog communication link employing laser-gated low-temperature-grown GaAs dipole antenna as THz emitter and receiver. The transmission distance is about 100 cm. By using a direct voltage modulation format, we successfully demodulated a burst signal with a rising time of 41 mu s. The corresponding modulating bandwidth achieved was 23 kHz in this first experiment. Noise analysis reveals a 10% power fluctuation in the received signal with on-off extinction ratio of greater than 1000. The transmission of a six-channel analog and burst audio signal with least distortion is also demonstrated. We further demonstrate the fidelity of the transmission of a melody through the THz link with and without any amplification.

Organic light-emitting devices were fabricated by using vanadium-doped indium tin oxide (ITO) as the hole-injection layers between the hole transport layer, N,N-'-dia(1-napthl)-N,N-'-diphenyl benzidine and the ITO anode. The vanadium-doped ITO layer was 15-nm thick with three different vanadium concentrations (6, 10.5, and 12.5 mol %). Three different resistivities (10, 500, and 10 000 Omega cm) and work functions (5, 5.2, and 5.4 eV) were obtained. The device with 6 mol % V-doped ITO layer possessing the least resistivity (10 Omega cm) and work function (5 eV) has the lowest turn-on voltage (below 3 V), the lowest operating voltage (below 7 V), the highest luminance (1000 cd/m(2) below 7 V), and the highest power efficiency (>5 1m/W at 10 mA/cm(2)) among all. Such performance was attributed to the balance between the carrier concentration and the energy barrier for the hole injection.

We have synthesized a thermally stable and high molecular weight fluorescent poly(phenylenevinylene) (PPV) incorporating side-chain-tethered dendritic phenyl groups (DENPPV) through Gilch route; this DENPPV has a low abundance of tolane-bisbenzyl defects. Intramolecular energy transfer from the dendritic phenyl side group to the PPV backbone was evidenced from UV-vis and photoluminescence spectra of the DENPPV polymer and its model compound. Copolymers of DENPPV with 2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene (MEHPPV) display excellent photoluminescence both in solution and in the solid state; the highest quantum yield we observed was 82%. The electroluminescence of the copolymer MEHPPV/DENPPV (molar ratio: 25/75) was 70% higher than that of MEHPPV (0.12 lm/W vs 0.07).

An improved common-path optical heterodyne interferometry for measuring small optical rotation angle of chiral liquid is presented. The optical rotation angle can be determined by the phase difference between the test and reference signals. By means of inserting, a phase retarder behind the test sample, the measuring resolution of optical rotation angle is greatly enhanced. The theoretical prediction indicates the resolution is better than 3.5 x 10(-5) degree. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The thermodynamic H-T phase diagram of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 was mapped by measuring local equilibrium magnetization M(H,T) in the presence of vortex shaking. Two equally sharp first-order magnetization steps are revealed in a single temperature sweep, manifesting a liquid-solid-liquid sequence. In addition, a second-order glass transition line is revealed by a sharp break in the equilibrium M(T) slope. The first- and second-order lines intersect at intermediate temperatures, suggesting the existence of four phases: Bragg glass and vortex crystal at low fields, glass and liquid at higher fields.

To remain competitive in customer-oriented economics, the major parties in the supply chain should be integrated and managed effectively to respond to customer needs. Thus, the efficiency of the entire supply chain is a main concern, and is determined by the members of that supply chain. Partner selection thus becomes one of the key steps in supply chain construction. Given buyer-supplier information asymmetry, obtaining complete information from suppliers is difficult, since some supplier attributes cannot be definitely and quantitatively measured. This study establishes a suppliers capability and price analysis chart (SCPAC) focused on the case where the specification limits are symmetric about the target for evaluating supplier performance which applies the process incapability index C-pp introduced by Greenwich and Jahr-Schaffrath (International Journal of Quality & Reliability Management 12 (1995) 58) to measure supplier quality performance and the price index I-p is proposed here to display the difference between budget and component price. Practitioners can instantly and visually obtain information based on the locations of suppliers and price indices on SCPAC. SCPAC also provides clear directions for quality improvement, such as process accuracy and precision. SCPAC thus is an effective and efficient method for evaluating suppliers, which can simplify supplier evaluation, facilitate their effective visual selection, and provide insights into the process situation of suppliers who can become technological innovation partners.
