[IEEE 2018 31st International Vacuum Nanoelectronics Conference (IVNC) - Kyoto, Japan (2018.7.9-2018.7.13)] 2018 31st International Vacuum Nanoelectronics Conference (IVNC) - The role of lateral confinement in the localized heating of thermionic emitters based on carbon nanotube forests
摘要： When vertically aligned carbon nanotube arrays (CNT forests) are heated by optical, electrical, or any other means, heat confinement (i.e. in perpendicular to the CNTs’ axes), which stems from the anisotropic structure of the forest, is expected to play an important role. It has been found that, in spite of being primarily conductive along the CNTs’ axes, focusing a laser beam on the sidewall of a CNT forest can lead to a highly localized hot region—an effect known as “Heat Trap”—and efficient thermionic emission. This unusual heat confinement phenomenon has applications where the spread of heat has to be minimized, but electrical conduction in energy conversion (e.g. vacuum thermionics and thermoelectrics). However, despite its strong scientific and practical importance, the existence and role of the lateral heat confinement in the Heat Trap effect have so far been elusive. In this work, for the first time, by using a rotating elliptical laser beam, we directly observe the existence of lateral heat confinement and its corresponding effects on the unusual temperature rise during the Heat Trap effect.

Effect of Bi <sup>3+</sup> ion on upconversion-based induced optical heating and temperature sensing characteristics in the Er <sup>3+</sup> /Yb <sup>3+</sup> co-doped La <sub/>2</sub> O <sub/>3</sub> nano-phosphor
摘要： The upconversion-based optical heating and temperature sensing characteristics are investigated in the Er3+/Yb3+/Bi3+ tri-doped La2O3 nano-phosphor synthesized through a solution combustion method. The structural measurements reveal an increase in lattice parameters and particles size of the phosphor on increasing the concentrations of Bi3+ ions. The energy dispersive spectroscopic (EDS) measurements confirm the presence of La, Er, Yb, Bi and O elements in the tri-doped phosphor. The absorption spectra show the large number of bands due to Er3+, Yb3+ and Bi3+ ions. The Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped phosphor gives strong green emission bands at 523 and 548 nm upon 976 nm excitation due to 2H11/2 / 4I15/2 and 4S3/2 / 4I15/2 transitions of Er3+ ion, respectively. The emission intensity of these bands is enhanced upto 15 times in the presence of Bi3+ ions. The emission intensities of the 523 and 548 nm bands vary non-linearly with the pump power. The fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) of the thermally coupled 523 and 548 nm emission bands shows efficient optical heating in the tri-doped phosphor. The FIR of the 523 and 548 nm emission bands further varies with the increase in temperature of the phosphor. The relative temperature sensing sensitivity has been calculated to be 71 × 10?4 K?1 at 450 K for the tri-doped phosphor. Thus, the Er3+/Yb3+/Bi3+ tri-doped La2O3 nano-phosphor may provide a platform to use it in the photonic devices, as an optical heater and temperature sensor.
