Quantum Dots (QDs) of CdSxSe1-x embedded in borosilicate glass matrix (BGM) have been grown using colored glass filter (RG695). Double-Step (DS) annealing method was adopted in which nucleation is achieved at a lower temperature (475°C) without any crystallization. To obtain crystallization on these nucleation centers, the annealing temperature is raised to 575°C at which the nucleation rate is negligible. QDs of various average radii and volume fractions are grown by varying the annealing duration from 3 to 11hrs. QDs corresponding to higher annealing duration are found to have low size dispersion (SD) and high volume fraction but weak quantum confinement, while, the QDs corresponding to lower annealing durations have high quantum confinement due to their much lower radii as compare to Bohr exciton radius, their SD is high and volume fraction low. For nonlinear optical applications the SD must be low and volume fraction should be high. Attempt has been made to optimize the two parameters. Further it has been concluded that there is no contribution of the band edge recombination to the PL and the origin of the PL is due to shallow traps existing in the volume of the QDs. Studies of absorption and PL have also been made on the samples aged for 18, 24 and 36 months. It is found that the effect of aging is to increase the absorption coefficient, reduce the shallow trap centers and reduce the SD.

Size Dispersion

Wide bandgap II–VI semiconductor quantum dots embedded in glass matrix have shown great potential for opto-electronic device applications. The current problem is to achieve low size dispersion, high volume fraction, and better control over the size of the quantum dots in glass matrix. In this work, a modified growth method has been proposed to achieve a greater control over the size of quantum dots, to reduce their size dispersion and to increase their volume fraction. A theoretical model has been developed to quantitatively estimate the various parameters of the quantum dots. The effects of aging on various parameters of quantum dots in Semiconductor-Doped Glass (SDG) samples have also been discussed in the present work.

Spatial Dimensions

When the size of a semiconductor is reduced by an appropriate materials processing technique to a dimension less than about twice the radius of an exciton in the bulk crystal, the band like structure of the semiconductor gives way to discrete molecular orbital electronic states. Clusters of semiconductors in a size regime lower than 2R {where R is the exciton Bohr radius; e.g. 3 nm for CdS and 7.3 nm for CdTe) are called Quantum Dots (QD) because they confine optically excited electron- hole pairs (excitons) in all three spatial dimensions. Structures based on QD are of great interest because of fast response times and non-linearity in optical switching applications.In this paper we report the first HREM analysis of the size and structure of CdTe and CdS QD formed by precipitation from a modified borosilicate glass matrix. The glass melts were quenched by pouring on brass plates, and then annealed to relieve internal stresses. QD precipitate particles were formed during subsequent "striking" heat treatments above the glass crystallization temperature, which was determined by differential thermal analysis.

AbstractThe existing research on SiCp/Al composite machining mainly focuses on the machining parameters or surface morphology. However, the surface quality of SiCp/Al composites with a high volume fraction has not been extensively studied. In this study, 32 SiCp/Al specimens with a high volume fraction were prepared and their machining parameters measured. The surface quality of the specimens was then tested and the effect of the grinding parameters on the surface quality was analyzed. The grinding quality of the composite specimens was comprehensively analyzed taking the grinding force, friction coefficient, and roughness parameters as the evaluation standards. The best grinding parameters were obtained by analyzing the surface morphology. The results show that, a higher spindle speed should be chosen to obtain a better surface quality. The final surface quality is related to the friction coefficient, surface roughness, and fragmentation degree as well as the quantity and distribution of the defects. Lower feeding amount, lower grinding depth and appropriately higher spindle speed should be chosen to obtain better surface quality. Lower feeding amount, higher grinding depth and spindle speed should be chosen to balance grind efficiently and surface quality. This study proposes a systematic evaluation method, which can be used to guide the machining of SiCp/Al composites with a high volume fraction.

Element Analysis

Compared with other materials, high-volume fraction aluminum-based silicon carbide composites (hereinafter referred to as SiCp/Al) have many advantages, including high strength, small change in the expansion coefficient due to temperature, high wear resistance, high corrosion resistance, high fatigue resistance, low density, good dimensional stability, and thermal conductivity. SiCp/Al composites have been widely used in aerospace, ordnance, transportation service, precision instruments, and in many other fields. In this study, the ABAQUS/explicit large-scale finite element analysis platform was used to simulate the milling process of SiCp/Al composites. By changing the parameters of the tool angle, milling depth, and milling speed, the influence of these parameters on the cutting force, cutting temperature, cutting stress, and cutting chips was studied. Optimization of the parameters was based on the above change rules to obtain the best processing combination of parameters. Then, the causes of surface machining defects, such as deep pits, shallow pits, and bulges, were simulated and discussed. Finally, the best cutting parameters obtained through simulation analysis was the tool rake angle γ0 = 5°, tool clearance angle α0 = 5°, corner radius r = 0.4 mm, milling depth ap = 50 mm, and milling speed vc= 300 m/min. The optimal combination of milling parameters provides a theoretical basis for subsequent cutting.
