Fluorescent hollow mesoporous carbon spheres for drug loading and tumor treatment through 980-nm laser and microwave co-irradiation
摘要: Hollow mesoporous particles for drug delivery and cancer therapy have attracted significant attention over recent decades. Here, we develop a simple and highly efficient strategy for preparing fluorescent hollow mesoporous carbon spheres (HMCSs). Compared with typical carbon materials such as fullerene C60, carbon nanotubes, reduced graphene oxide, and carbon nanohorns; HMCSs showed fewer effects on cell cycle distribution and lower toxicity to cells. Ten different drugs were incorporated into the HMCSs, and the maximum loading efficiency reached 42.79 ± 2.7%. Importantly, microwaves were found to improve the photothermal effect generated by HMCSs when combined with 980-nm laser irradiation. The cell killing and tumor growth inhibition efficiencies of HMCSs and drug-loaded HMCSs under co-irradiation with laser and microwaves were significantly improved compared with those under laser irradiation alone. After local administration HMCSs were only distributed in tissue at the injection site. HMCSs showed almost no toxicity in mice after local injection and could be completely removed from the injection site.

Enhancement of the surface properties of selective laser melted maraging steel by large pulsed electron-beam irradiation
摘要: The present work aimed to decrease the surface roughness of maraging steel (MS) by selective laser melting (SLM) using large pulsed electron-beam (LPEB) irradiation as a post-treatment. The MS samples were fabricated using different combinations of laser power, scanning speed, hatch distance, and build angle. The morphological features, surface roughness, phase content, and corrosion resistance of the MS samples in their as-fabricated (ASF) state were compared after LPEB irradiation. The ASF SLM-MS samples exhibit the presence of partially melted particles that spread over the entire surface and many cracks in both the longitudinal and transverse directions. A higher arithmetical mean height (Sa: 2-17 μm), large variations in Sa measured at various locations, and a strong dependence of Sa on build angle were also observed. Post-treatment by LPEB irradiation removed the partially melted particles, while reflow of the molten mass filled the cracks and voids and facilitated the formation of a uniform surface with a bright metallic finish. This has resulted in a significant decrease in Sa (0.50-4.50 μm) and a smaller variation in Sa measured at different locations. Body-centered cubic α-martensite was the predominant phase for the ASF SLM-MS samples, along with a small fraction face-centered cubic γ-austenite phase. After LPEB irradiation, the martensite was reverted to the austenite phase. The corrosion resistance of the LPEB-irradiated samples was moderately better than that of the ASF SLM-MS samples. The uniform surface morphology, removal of partially melted particles, absence of pores and cracks, decrease in Sa, and moderate improvement in corrosion resistance suggests that LPEB irradiation can be used as a post-treatment for SLM-MS samples.

Embedding of WO3 nanocrystals with rich oxygen-vacancies in solution processed perovskite film for improved photovoltaic performance
摘要: Seeking strategies of promoting the charge separation and transport of the photo-active layer has been always of significance for the development of high-performance optoelectronic devices. We herein demonstrate an effective way of decorating WO3 nanocrystals in perovskite films for boosted photogenerated carriers transport. The WO3 nanocrystals are generated by a simple technique of pulsed laser irradiation in liquid, then introduced into the perovskite film based on the anti-solvent approach. Such decoration is found helpful for the increase of the short-circuit current density (Jsc) of the device, which leads to the increase of the photoconversion efficiency (PCE) from 17.72% to 19.29%. The improved PCE is mainly due to the decoration of the WO3 at the grain boundaries of perovskite films that facilitates the charge transport between the adjacent grains, which is evidenced by the quenching of the film photoluminescence, shortened carrier lifetime, and increased carrier mobility. We thus believe our study provides an effective way of embedding ordinary metal oxides in perovskite films for enhanced optoelectronic performance.

Removal of humic acid from <b>aqueous solutions</b> using ultraviolet irradiation coupled with hydrogen peroxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles
摘要: In this study, individual performance of ultraviolet irradiation (UV), zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) processes, as well as a performance of combined processes of UV/H2O2 and UV/H2O2/ZnO, were assessed for the removal of humic acid (HA) from aqueous solutions. Various process-related factors, such as the concentration of ZnO (0.2 and 0.5 g/L), the concentration of H2O2 (20, 30 and 50 mg/L), UV = 125 W, pH (4, 7 and 10), initial HA concentrations (at wavelength of 254 nm) of 2, 5, 7 and 10 mg/L, and three types of interferences (nitrate, sulphate and chloride) were studied and optimised. The results showed that removal e?ciency decreased by increasing the concentration of HA and pH values in all processes, but it increased by increasing the time of exposure and the concentration of H2O2. In the combined process of UV/ZnO/H2O2, the nanoparticle concentration of 0.2 g/L yielded the highest e?ciency, whereas in the other processes, the highest e?ciency was observed at nanoparticle concentration of 0.5 g/L. Based on these results, under the optimum conditions (HA = 2 mg/L, H2O2 = 50 mg/L, ZnO = 0.2 g/L, pH = 4.0 and contact time of 15 min), UV/ZnO/H2O2 process was found as the most e?cient combination in removing of HA with an e?ciency of 99.99%. Furthermore, the modelling results indicated that the adsorption reaction of HA onto ZnO nanoparticles was very well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 > 0.99).

Electron and proton irradiation effect on the minority carrier lifetime in SiC passivated p-doped Ge wafers for space photovoltaics
摘要: We report on the effect of electron and proton irradiation on effective minority carrier lifetimes (τeff) in p-type Ge wafers. Minority carrier lifetimes are assessed using the microwave-detected photoconductance decay (μW-PCD) method. We examine the dependence of τeff on the p-type doping level and on electron and proton radiation fluences at 1 MeV. The measured τeff before and after irradiation are used to estimate the minority carriers’ diffusion lengths, which is an important parameter for solar cell operation. We observe τeff ranging from ~50 to 230 μs for Ge doping levels between 1 × 1017 and 1 × 1016 at.cm-3, corresponding to diffusion lengths of ~500–1400 μm. A separation of τeff in Ge bulk lifetime and surface recombination velocity is conducted by irradiating Ge lifetime samples of different thicknesses. The possible radiation-induced defects are discussed on the basis of literature.

Wide-range line shape control of Fano-like resonances in all-dielectric multilayer structures based on enhanced light absorption in photochromic waveguide layers
摘要: We have succeeded in controlling the line shape of Fano-like resonances in all-dielectric multilayer structures in a wide range by UV light irradiation. Multilayer structures consisting of a waveguide layer supporting a half-leaky guided mode, a spacer layer, and another waveguide layer supporting a planar waveguide mode are known to exhibit Fano-like line shapes in attenuated total reflection spectra due to coupling between the half-leaky guided mode and the planar waveguide mode. Using a photochromic layer, i.e., a layer doped with spiropyran molecules, as one of the waveguide layers, we controlled the amount of light absorption in the waveguide layer by varying the UV irradiation dose. We demonstrated that the line shape changes dramatically depending on the UV dose, from the electromagnetically induced transparency-like to electromagnetically induced absorption-like line shape (or vice versa) passing through the Fano-like line shape. We also demonstrated that the photochromic response induced by UV irradiation in the Fano-resonant multilayer structure is enhanced by a factor of ~100 relative to that in a single photochromic layer. Our analyses based on electromagnetic calculations suggest that the dramatic line shape change and the enhanced photochromic response are the consequences of enhanced local electric fields inside the photochromic waveguide layer combined with the photoinduced increase in the imaginary part of the dielectric constant.

Low-level laser-aided orthodontic treatment of periodontally compromised patients: a randomised controlled trial
摘要: Low-level laser irradiation (LLLI) shows effects in orthodontic pain relief and periodontal inflammation control. The aim of this article is to investigate the analgesic and inflammation-modulatory effects of low-level laser irradiation among orthodontic patients with compromised periodontium. A randomised controlled trial with split-mouth design was conducted in 27 adults with treated and controlled chronic periodontitis over 6 months. One side of the dental arch underwent repeated treatment under a 940-nm diode laser (EZlase; Biolase Technology Inc.) with a beam size of 2.8 cm2 for 60 seconds at 8.6 J/cm2, whilst the other side received pseudo-laser treatment. Laser irradiation was applied repeatedly for 8 times during the first 6 weeks after bracket bonding and monthly thereafter until the end of orthodontic treatment. Subjective pain (assessed by visual analogue scale in pain diary and by chairside archwire activation), periodontal status (assessed by periodontal clinical parameters), cytokines in gingival crevicular fluid (interleukin 1β, prostaglandin E2, substance P) and periodontopathic bacteria (Porphyromonas gingivalis and Treponema denticola) in supragingival plaque were assessed. The intensity of pain was lower on the laser-irradiated side at multiple follow-up visits (P < 0.05). The pain subsided 1 day earlier on the laser side, with a lower peak value during the first week after initial archwire placement (P < 0.05). The laser side exhibited a smaller reduction in bite force during the first month (mean difference = 3.17, 95% CI: 2.36–3.98, P < 0.05 at 1-week interval; mean difference = 3.09, 95% CI: 1.87–4.32, P < 0.05 at 1-month interval). A smaller increase was observed in the plaque index scores on the laser side at 1-month (mean difference = 0.19, 95% CI: 0.13–0.24, P < 0.05) and in the gingival index scores at the 3-month follow-up visit (mean difference = 0.18, 95% CI: 0.14–0.21, P < 0.05). Laser irradiation inhibited the elevation of interleukin-1β, prostaglandin E2 and substance P levels during the first month (P < 0.05). However, no intergroup difference was detected in the bacteria levels. Low-level laser irradiation exhibits benefits in pain relief and inflammation control during the early stage of adjunctive orthodontic treatment in periodontally compromised individuals.

Multi-field dependence responses and their micro-structure analysis in YBa <sub/>2</sub> Cu <sub/>3</sub> O <sub/>7a??x</sub> -based second-generation coated conductors with different protective layers by Nd-laser irradiations
摘要: High-temperature superconductors (HTS) are materials that hold great promise for future particle-accelerator plants. YBa2Cu3O7-x-based (YBCO) second-generation coated conductor coils can produce the intense field needed for ion confinement. Such coils can act as a radiation resistance magnet when exposed to radiation, and therefore, it is essential to better understand irradiation responses and defect creation in YBCO superconductors. The influence of laser or ion irradiation on the electrical characteristics of HTS has been studied previously; however, most results remain ambiguous and inconsistent. Degradation of or incremental changes in the critical current of the HTS tap are currently only observed and explained via irradiation dose. The relation between irradiation defects and macro-multi-field responses has yet to be established for YBCO tapes, for magnet design and operation. In this study, YBCO (2 G HTS) taps with Ag, Cu–Ag, and Cu protective cap layers were selected as targets of Nd-laser irradiation, at varying power. Irradiation defects were formed in YBCO taps, and irradiation dose was monitored as a function of superconducting properties and mechanical behaviors. The critical current and its N-values eventually degrade under intense Nd-laser irradiation, and the mechanical behavior of YBCO tapes shows nonlinear features after irradiation. Scanning electron microscopy and x-ray energy-dispersive spectrometry were applied to investigate the micro-defect changes that occurred in the taps after each Nd-laser irradiation dose. Micro-structural observations showed that the protective layers were critical for radiation resistance in YBCO taps. Furthermore, the macro-stress dependence of the critical current field was measured before and after Nd-laser irradiation to establish the relationship with micro-defect morphology by Nd-laser irradiation.

Energy transport analysis in a Ga <sub/>0.84</sub> In <sub/>0.16</sub> N/GaN heterostructure using microscopic Raman images employing simultaneous coaxial irradiation of two lasers
摘要: Anisotropic heat transport in a Ga0.84In0.16N/GaN-heterostructure on a sapphire substrate is observed from microscopic Raman images obtained by utilizing coaxial irradiation of two laser beams, one for heating (325 nm) in the GaInN layer and the other for signal probing (325 nm or 532 nm). The increase in temperatures of the GaInN layer and the underlying GaN layer is probed by the 325-nm and 532-nm lasers, respectively, by analyzing the shift in the Raman peak energy of the higher energy branch of E2 modes. The result reveals that energy diffuses across a considerable length in the GaInN layer, whereas the energy transport in the perpendicular direction to the GaN layer is blocked in the vicinity of mis?t dislocations on the heterointerface. This simultaneous irradiation of two lasers for heat generation and probing is effective in the microscopic analysis of energy transport through heterointerfaces.

Influence of shadow on shunt-type potential-induced degradation for crystalline Si photovoltaic modules exposed outdoors
摘要: Potential-induced degradation (PID) was observed for crystalline Si photovoltaic (PV) modules set at a PID test system constructed outdoors. It was clearly shown that partial shadow and periodical water spray during daytime accelerate PID generation. PID easily occurred just underneath the shielding plate. It was also found that when a large part of one cell in the PV module was shadowed, PID is accelerated; however, when a small part of one cell in the PV module was shadowed or when the weak light is uniformly irradiated, less PID acceleration is observed. Simulation was also carried out for discussing the influence of light irradiation. These findings suggest that UV irradiation during the PID indoor test is essential for the exact estimation of the acceleration factor of the indoor PID test.
