Effect of bending test on the performance of CdTe solar cells on flexible ultra-thin glass produced by MOCVD
摘要: The development of lightweight and flexible solar modules is highly desirable for high specific power applications, building integrated photovoltaics, unmanned aerial vehicles and space. Flexible metallic and polyimide foils are frequently used, but in this work an alternative substrate with attractive properties, ultra-thin glass (UTG) has been employed. CdTe solar cells with average efficiency reaching 14.7% AM1.5G efficiency have been produced on UTG of 100 μm thickness. Little has been reported on the effects on PV performance when flexed, so we investigated the effects on J-V parameters when the measurements were performed in 40 mm and 32 mm bend radius, and in a planar state before and after the bend curvature was applied. The flat J-V measurements after 32 mm bending test showed some improvement in efficiency, Voc and FF, with values higher than the first measurement in a planar state. In addition, two CdTe solar cells with identical initial performance were subjected to 32 mm static bending test for 168 hours, the results showed excellent uniformity and stability and no significant variation on J-V parameters was observed. External quantum efficiency and capacitance voltage measurements were performed and showed no significant change in spectral response or carrier concentration. Residual stress analysis showed that no additional strain was induced within the film after the bending test and that the overall strain was low. This has demonstrated the feasibility of using CdTe solar cells on UTG in new applications, when a curved module is required without compromising performance.

摘要: Stained glass windows are designed to reveal their powerful artistry under diverse and time-varying lighting conditions; virtual relighting of stained glass, therefore, represents an exceptional tool for the appreciation of this age old art form. However, as opposed to most other artifacts, stained glass windows are extremely difficult if not impossible to analyze using controlled illumination because of their size and position. In this paper, we present novel methods built upon image based priors to perform virtual relighting of stained glass artwork by acquiring the actual light transport properties of a given artifact. In a preprocessing step, we build a material-dependent dictionary for light transport by studying the scattering properties of glass samples in a laboratory setup. We can now use the dictionary to recover a light transport matrix in two ways: under controlled illuminations the dictionary constitutes a sparsifying basis for a compressive sensing acquisition, while in the case of uncontrolled illuminations the dictionary is used to perform sparse regularization. The proposed basis preserves volume impurities and we show that the retrieved light transport matrix is heterogeneous, as in the case of real world objects. We present the rendering results of several stained glass artifacts, including the Rose Window of the Cathedral of Lausanne, digitized using the presented methods.

Controlled nanoa??crystallization of IR frequencya??doubling Cd <sub/>4</sub> GeS <sub/>6</sub> crystal in chalcogenide glass
摘要: Crystallization of IR frequency-doubling nanocrystals in chalcogenide glasses is a promising approach to achieve novel nonlinear optical materials. However, controllable glass crystallization remains challenging. In this study, IR-transparent chalcogenide glass-ceramics containing novel Cd4GeS6 IR frequency-doubling na- nocrystals (about 60-80?nm) are fabricated through controlled nano-crystallization. Nanocrystalline structure of the Cd4GeS6 nano-crystallized glass-ceramics is inves- tigated in detail through X-ray diffractometer, field emission scanning electron mi- croscope, and Raman scattering techniques. The structural similarity of [Cd4GeS6] polyhedron in the network structure of as-prepared glass is found to be responsible for the nucleation of Cd4GeS6 crystal. A unique microstructure of Cd4GeS6 nanocrys- tals embedded GeS2 phase-separated structure is discovered in samples thermally treated at high temperatures (370°C and 380°C). This study would not only shed more light on glass crystallization mechanism but also provide a feasible approach for the design and fabrication of new IR frequency-doubling materials through glass crystallization.

Effect of normal scratch load and HF etching on the mechanical behavior of annealed and chemically strengthened aluminosilicate glass
摘要: Micro-cracks generated by hard body scratch are a major cause of strength decrease for silicate glass. The influence of normal scratch load on the cracking patterns and flexural strength of annealed glass (AG) and chemically strengthened glass (CSG) were studied. With the increase of the normal load, the load capacity of scratched AG specimens decreased to about 40MPa at 20gf immediately. However, the residual strength of CSG decreased to a steady value of 145MPa as the scratch load increased to 500gf. Then the effect of hydrofluoric acid (HF) etching on the surface morphology and mechanical properties of the 500gf scratched glass were investigated. After 8min (for CSG) and 16 min (for AG) acid treatment, the flexural strength of CSG and AG increased to a considerable value of 900MPa, which is 3.6 and 5.5 times higher than the flexural strength of undamaged specimens. Microscopic observations show that the blunting and eliminating of median cracks as well as the formation of new surfaces are the main causes of strength enhancement.

Investigation of Dy3+/Tm3+ co-doped ZrF4-BaF2-YF3-AlF3 fluoride glass for efficient 2.9?μm mid-infrared laser applications
摘要: Different doping concentrations of Dy3+/Tm3+ in ZrF4-BaF2-YF3-AlF3 (ZBYA) fluoride glass samples were prepared by the melt-quenching method. Spectroscopic properties were analyzed through absorption (from 200 to 3300 nm) and emission spectra (from 1200 to 3200 nm). The spontaneous radiative transition probability, branching ratio and radiative lifetime of various energy levels transition were calculated based on the Judd-Ofelt theory. The emission cross-section value of the 1 mol% Dy3+/1 mol% Tm3+ co-doped ZBYA sample at 2.9 μm were calculated as 3.79 10-21 cm2. Near- and mid-IR emission spectra of Dy3+/Tm3+ co-doped ZBYA-fluoride glass under the excitation of 808 nm laser diode were investigated and discussed. Analysis of the emission spectra and the energy transition process of Dy3+/Tm3+ co-doped glass indicated that the introduction of Tm3+ ions can effectively improve the mid-infrared fluorescence intensity of Dy3+ ions, thus the Dy3+/Tm3+ co-doped ZBYA-fluoride glass can be an excellent candidate material for 2.9 μm mid-infrared laser applications.

Development of infrared fiber lasers at 1555?nm and at 2800?nm based on Er-doped zinc-tellurite glass fiber
摘要: We manufactured and characterized a low-loss gain fiber based on high-purity TeO2–ZnO–La2O3–Na2O undoped glass for 100-μm cladding and TeO2–ZnO–La2O3–Na2O glass for 10-μm core doped with 0.24 mol% Er2O3. To confirm that the produced fiber is a promising active element for the infrared range, we demonstrated experimentally broadband laser amplification and CW generation at the 4I13/2 → 4I15/2 transition at 1555 nm with a single-mode diode pump at 975 nm at the 4I15/2 → 4I11/2 transition. We developed a numerical model calibrated to the experimental data for prediction and optimization of laser characteristics in schemes with different parameters. The model describes single- wavelength lasing as well as dual-wavelength cascade lasing at 1555 nm and 2800 nm. It was shown numerically that for the optimized parameters, the maximum slope efficiency at 2800 nm at the 4I11/2 → 4I13/2 transition can reach ~20%. The maximum calculated efficiency at 1555 nm exceeds 30%.

Perovskite quantum dots growth in situ in transparent medium for short wavelength shielding
摘要: High energy ultraviolet (UV) and blue light (short wavelength) radiation is proved to be harmful to human eyes, skin, and biological genomes. However, developing effective shielding materials providing protect from short wavelength is still a great challenge. Here, Eu3+-doped CsPbBr3 embedded in a transparent glass medium is proved to shield the short wavelength from 200 to 475 nm with high performance, which is prepared by a facile and efficient melting-quenching technique. The uniform distribution of the CsPbBr3 quantum dots (QDs) growth in situ from the transparent glass matrix ensures the high transmittance (> 90%) at the long wavelength (520-800 nm). In addition, the excellent short wavelength shielding ability of the Eu3+-doped CsPbBr3 glass ceramics (EGC) is demonstrated even suffered with accelerated weathering tests as long as 480 h. Moreover, the cell viability of A549 cells is well preserved thanks to the completely blocked blue light by the as-obtained EGC, which unambiguously demonstrates the promising application of EGC as short wavelength shielding materials.

MODIFIED ABSORPTION FEATURES OF TITANIA-ERBIUM INCORPORATED PLASMONIC TELLURITE GLASS SYSTEM
摘要: Achieving efficient lasing glass materials with enhanced absorption and emission cross-section by reducing the Rare Earth (RE) concentration quenching is a challenging issue. Metal nanoparticles (NPs) together with RE ions in the glass matrix are thought as a suitable alternative to overcome the limitations of concentration quenching and weak absorption of inorganic glasses. We prepare a series of Titania-Erbium doped Tellurite glass system with the form (69-x)TeO2-20ZnO-10Na2O-1Er2O3-(x)TiO2, where 0 ≤ x≤ 1.0 mol% via melt-quenching method with optimum erbium contents and varying TiO2 NPs concentrations. The NPs concentration dependent modifications in the absorption characteristics are scrutinized. Glasses are characterized via UV-Vis-NIR and XRD measurements. XRD pattern verifies the amorphous nature of prepared samples. The incorporation of TiO2 NPs is demonstrated to enhance the absorption intensity significantly. This augmentation is attributed to the effect of Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) mediated strong local electric field that is swallowed by neighboring Er3+ ions. The observed modification in optical energy band gap and Urbach energy are ascribed to the strong electric field around NPs that interact with the ligand of glass network to transform weak bond into defects. This observation is useful for the development of plasmonic nanoglass materials applicable for photonic devices.

Laser surface modification of structural glass for anti-slip applications
摘要: The use of soda-lime silicate glass as a structural element has become frequent in modern buildings. The load-bearing applications of glass in floors, footbridges, terraces, or stairs require an optimal combination of non-slippery properties of the surface, element weight, and strength, and structural glazing can be compromised by the incorporation of laser surface patterned ornamental motifs. Laser surface modification has significant advantages for selective surface area modification; nevertheless, the mechanical performance of the processed glass remains unknown, which precludes reliable structural calculations and employment in construction. In this study, we investigated the surface modification of annealed and heat-strengthened glass via CO2 laser scanning for the production of rough anti-slip surfaces. The surface roughness and the reduction of the bearing load strength were quantified. Slip resistance-enhanced surfaces with roughness values (Rz) above 20 μm and characteristic bending strength preservation up to 74% were obtained. The results pave the way for the use of laser surface-modified plates in laminated glass elements with optimized strength calculation and weight reduction.
