Hybrid perovskites are one of the most popular materials nowadays due to their very exclusive properties. To mitigate costs, complexity, and environmental impact, in this work, we have prepared methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) films by a two-step Low-Vacuum Proximity-Space-Effusion (LV-PSE). The LV-PSE method exploits the low vacuum and the short diffusion path from the precursor source to have high thermal energy and partial pressure of the sublimated species close to the substrate. To this aim, the substrate is located at a medium distance (∼2 cm) from the melting pots in a low-vacuum chamber at ∼4 × 10−2 mbar. In the first step, a PbI2 film is deposited on a substrate; in the second step, the conversion into MAPbI3 occurs via an adsorption-incorporation-migration mechanism through the evaporation of methylammonium iodide (MAI) reagents. To exploit the potential of the conversion reaction, 190 nm MAPbI3 layers are deposited on TiO2 substrates. The layers were characterized in terms of crystal structure by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses, which showed the exclusive presence of MAPbI3 confirming the complete conversion of the PbI2 film. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analyses revealed a flat uniform pinhole-free coverage of the substrates and good conformational coverage of the TiO2 underlayer. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) analyses addressed the formation of the tetragonal phase and the absence of the amorphous phase in the film. Spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) analyses were used to explore the optical properties and the stability of the MAPbI3 layer at different temperatures and ambient conditions. As proof of concept, solar cell architectures were prepared using TiO2 as Electron Transporting Layer (ETL), Spiro-OMeTAD as Hole Transporting Layer (HTL), and Au as a contact to exploit the new up-scalable and clean deposition method. Using just ∼190 nm thick layers, the best efficiency reached with this architecture was 6.30%.

Purpose On-orbit service technology is one of the key technologies of space manipulation activities such as spacecraft life extension, fault spacecraft capture, on-orbit debris removal and so on. It is known that the failure satellites, space debris and enemy spacecrafts in space are almost all non-cooperative targets. Relatively accurate pose estimation is critical to spatial operations, but also a recognized technical difficulty because of the undefined prior information of non-cooperative targets. With the rapid development of laser radar, the application of laser scanning equipment is increasing in the measurement of non-cooperative targets. It is necessary to research a new pose estimation method for non-cooperative targets based on 3D point cloud. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, a method based on the inherent characteristics of a spacecraft is proposed for estimating the pose (position and attitude) of the spatial non-cooperative target. First, we need to preprocess the obtained point cloud to reduce noise and improve the quality of data. Second, according to the features of the satellite, a recognition system used for non-cooperative measurement is designed. The components which are common in the configuration of satellite are chosen as the recognized object. Finally, based on the identified object, the ICP algorithm is used to calculate the pose between two frames of point cloud in different times to finish pose estimation. Findings The new method enhances the matching speed and improves the accuracy of pose estimation compared with traditional methods by reducing the number of matching points. The recognition of components on non-cooperative spacecraft directly contributes to the space docking, on-orbit capture and relative navigation. Research limitations/implications Limited to the measurement distance of the laser radar, this paper considers the pose estimation for non-cooperative spacecraft in the close range. Practical implications The pose estimation method for non-cooperative spacecraft in this paper is mainly applied to close proximity space operations such as final rendezvous phase of spacecraft or ultra-close approaching phase of target capture. The system can recognize components needed to be capture and provide the relative pose of non-cooperative spacecraft. The method in this paper is more robust compared with the traditional single component recognition method and overall matching method when scanning of laser radar is not complete or the components are blocked. Originality/value This paper introduces a new pose estimation method for non-cooperative spacecraft based on point cloud. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively identify the features of non-cooperative targets and track their position and attitude. The method is robust to the noise and greatly improves the speed of pose estimation while guarantee the accuracy.

The goal of object retrieval is to rank a set of images by their similarity compared with a query image. Nowadays, content-based image retrieval is a hot research topic, and color features play an important role in this procedure. However, it is important to establish a measure of image similarity in advance. The innovation point of this paper lies in the following. Firstly, the idea of the proximity space theory is utilized to retrieve the relevant images between the query image and images of database, and we use the color histogram of an image to obtain the Top-ranked colors, which can be regard as the object set. Secondly, the similarity is calculated based on an improved dominance granule structure similarity method. Thus, we propose a color-based image retrieval method by using proximity space theory. To detect the feasibility of this method, we conducted an experiment on COIL-20 image database and Corel-1000 database. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework and its applications.

This paper, deals with, introduce and study the notions of haracterized fuzzy R2.5 spaces and of characterized fuzzy T3.5 spaces by using the notion of fuzzy function family presented in [21] and the notion of φ1,2ψ1,2-fuzzy continuous mappings presented in [5] as a generalization of all the weaker and stronger forms of the fuzzy completely regular spaces introduced in [11,24,26,29]. We denote by characterized fuzzy T3.5 space or characterized fuzzy Tychonoff space to the characterized fuzzy space which is characterized fuzzy T1 and characterized fuzzy R2.5 space in this sense. The relations between the characterized fuzzy T3.5 spaces, the characterized fuzzy T4 spaces and the characterized fuzzy T3 spaces are introduced. When the given fuzzy topological space is normal, then the related characterized fuzzy space is finer than the associated characterized fuzzy proximity space which is presented in [1]. Moreover, the associated characterized fuzzy proximity spaces and the characterized fuzzy T4 spaces are identical with help of the complementarilysymmetric fuzzy topogenous structure, that is, identified with the fuzzy proximity δ. More generally, the fuzzy function family of all φ1,2ψ1,2-fuzzy continuous mappings are applied to show that the characterized fuzzy R2.5 spaces and the associated characterized fuzzy proximity spaces are identical.

In this paper we study the soft proximity spaces. First, we investigate the relation between proximity spaces and soft proximity spaces. Also, we define the notion of a soft ?-neighborhood in the soft proximity spaces which offer an alternative approach to the study of soft proximity spaces. Later, we show how a soft proximity space is derived from a soft uniform space. Finally, we obtain the initial soft proximity space determined by a family of soft proximity spaces.
