One-dimensional, direct, and narrow band gap indium arsenide (InAs) nanowires (NWs) have been emerging with great potentials for the next-generation wide-spectrum photodetectors. In this study, metal–semiconductor–metal (MSM) structure InAs NW-based photodetectors were fabricated by transferring MBE-grown NWs onto a sapphire substrate via a mechanical stamping method. These NW detectors exhibit strong negative photoconductive (NPC) effects, which are likely caused by the carrier dynamics in the “core-shell” structure of the NWs. Specifically, under the irradiation of a 405 nm violet laser, the maximum Idark/Ilight ratio reaches ∼102 and the NPC gain reaches 105 at a low bias voltage of 0.2 V. At room temperature, the rise and decay times of InAs NW devices are 0.005 and 2.645 s, respectively. These InAs NW devices with a high Idark/Ilight ratio and NPC gain can be potentially used in the field of vis/near-IR light communication in the future.

The structure of the anticancer drug carmustine (1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea, C5H9Cl2N3O2) was successfully determined from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data recorded at 278 K and at 153 K. Carmustine crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with Z = 4. The lattice parameters are a = 19.6935(2) Å, b = 9.8338(14) Å, c = 4.63542(6) Å, V = 897.71(2) ų at 153 K, and a = 19.8522(2) Å, b = 9.8843(15) Å, c = 4.69793(6) Å, V = 921.85(2) ų at 278 K. The Rietveld fits are very good, with low R-values and smooth difference curves of calculated and experimental powder data. The molecules form a one-dimensional hydrogen bond pattern. At room temperature, the investigated commercial sample of carmustine was amorphous.

The N-heterocyclic ligand 2-[(1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl]-1H-benzimidazole (imb) has a rich variety of coordination modes and can lead to polymers with intriguing structures and interesting properties. In the coordination polymercatena-poly[[cadmium(II)-bis[μ-benzene-1,2-dicarboxylato-κ4O1,O1′:O2,O2′]-cadmium(II)-bis{μ-2-[(1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl]-1H-benzimidazole}-κ2N2:N3;κ2N3:N2] dimethylformamide disolvate], {[Cd(C8H4O4)(C11H10N4)]·C3H7NO}n, (I), each CdIIion exhibits an irregular octahedral CdO4N2coordination geometry and is coordinated by four O atoms from two symmetry-related benzene-1,2-dicarboxylate (1,2-bdic2−) ligands and two N atoms from two symmetry-related imb ligands. Two CdIIions are connected by two benzene-1,2-dicarboxylate ligands to generate a binuclear [Cd2(1,2-bdic)2] unit. The binuclear units are further connected into a one-dimensional chain by pairs of bridging imb ligands. These one-dimensional chains are further connected through N—H...O hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions, leading to a two-dimensional layered structure. The dimethylformamide solvent molecules are organized in dimeric pairsviaweak interactions. In addition, the title polymer exhibits good fluorescence properties in the solid state at room temperature.

ABSTRACTWe develop a simple, one-dimensional, analytical model, which describes electron transport in gallium nitride. We focus on the polar optical phonon scattering mechanism, as this is the dominant energy loss mechanism at room temperature. Equating the power gained from the field with that lost through scattering, we demonstrate that beyond a critical electric field, 114 kV/cm at T = 300 K, the power gained from the field exceeds that lost due to polar optical phonon scattering. This polar optical phonon instability leads to a dramatic increase in the electron energy, this being responsible for the onset of intervalley transitions. The predictions of our analytical model are compared with those of Monte Carlo simulations, and are found to be in satisfactory agreement.

Absorption spectra are detected for C60− and C602− produced electrolytically in solution at room temperature. Theoretical analysis of the spectrum of C60− by CNDO/S calculations gives an interpretation of the characteristic near-IR bands, the weak visible bands, and the strong bands in the UV region. The emission spectrum of C60− is a mirror image of the near-IR absorption band, and the detection of the emission reconfirms our original assignment of the absorption spectrum. The nature of the spectrum of C602− is characterized by a similar orbital picture to that of C60−. Further laser experiments of significance are proposed.

The k-distribution method applied in narrow band and wide band is extended to the full spectrum based on spectroscopic datebase HITEMP, educing the full-spectrum k-distribution model. Absorption coefficents in this model are reordered into a smooth,monotonically increasing function such that the intensity calculations are performed only once for each absorption coefficent value and the resulting computations are immensely more efficent.Accuracy of this model is examined for cases ranging from homogeneous one-dimensional carbon dioxide to inhomogeneous ones with simultaneous variations in temperature. Comparision with line-by-line calculations (LBL) and narrow-band k-distribution (NBK) method as well as wide-band k-distribution (WBK) method shows that the full-spectrum k-distribution model is exact for homogeneous media, although the errors are greater than the other two models. After dividing the absorption coefficients into several groups according to their temperature dependence, the full-spectrum k-distribution model achieves line-by-line accuracy for gases inhomogeneous in temperature, accompanied by lower computational expense as compared to NBK model or WBK model. It is worth noting that a new grouping scheme is provided in this paper.
