RESUMO
Two-dimensional (2D) halide perovskites represent the natural semiconductor quantum wells (QWs), which hold great promise for optoelectronics. However, due to the hybrid structure of Ruddlesden-Popper 2D perovskites, the intrinsic nature of hot-carrier kinetics remains shielded within. Herein, we adopt CsPbBr3 nanoplates as a model system to reveal the intrinsic carrier dynamics in inorganic perovskite QWs. Interestingly, we revealed an ultrafast and hot-phonon-bottleneck (HPB)-free carrier cooling in monodisperse CsPbBr3 QWs, which is in sharp contrast to the bulk and nanocrystalline perovskites. The absence of HPB was attributed to the efficient out-of-plane triplet-exciton-LO-phonon coupling in 2D perovskites because of the structural anisotropy. Accordingly, the HPB can be activated by shutting down the out-of-plane energy loss route through forming the layer-stacked perovskite superlattice. The controllable on and off of HPB may provide new possibilities in optoelectronic devices and these findings deepen the understanding of a hot-carrier cooling mechanism in 2D perovskites.
RESUMO
Since 2007, green tide blooms with Ulva prolifera as the dominant species have occurred every summer in the Yellow Sea. Biomass is a critical parameter used to describe the severity of green tide blooms. In this study, we analyzed the relationships between several indices (normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), floating algae index (FAI), ratio vegetation index (RVI), enhanced vegetation index (EVI), ocean surface algal bloom index (OSABI), Korea Ocean Satellite Center (KOSC) approach) and the biomass per unit area of Ulva prolifera by using the in situ measurements from a water tank experiment. EVI, NDVI, and FAI showed strong exponential relationships with Ulva prolifera biomass per unit area. In order to apply the relationships to satellite remote sensing data, the impacts of the atmosphere (different aerosol optical depth at 550â¯nm) and mixed pixels to the relationships were analyzed. The results show that atmosphere has little effect on the relationship between EVI and Ulva prolifera biomass per unit area with R2â¯=â¯0.94 and APD (the average percentage deviation)â¯=â¯19.55% when EVI is calculated from Rrc (Rayleigh-corrected reflectance), and R2â¯=â¯0.95 and APDâ¯=â¯17.53% when EVI is calculated from Rtoa (top-of-atmosphere reflectance). Due to the low sensitivity to the atmosphere, the EVI relationship can be directly utilized in the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) reflectance without atmospheric correction. In addition, the EVI was slightly affected by mixed pixels with the APD only increased by ~10%. The EVI relationship was then applied to a long MODIS image time series to obtain the maximal total biomass of floating Ulva prolifera in the Yellow Sea from 2007 to 2016. The results showed that the maximum and minimum total biomass occurred in 2016 (~1.17â¯millionâ¯tons) and 2012 (~0.074â¯millionâ¯tons), respectively. The main factors that caused the inter-annual biomass variability were analyzed. The total amount of nutrients from Sheyang River which was the largest river on the northern coast of Jiangsu Province, and Porphyra cultivation in the Radial Sand Ridges of Jiangsu Province had both strong correlation with Ulva prolifera total biomass.
