Narrowband ultraviolet photodetector based on MgZnO and NPB heterojunction.

An ultraviolet photodetector was fabricated based on Mg0.07Zn0.93O heterojunction. N, N'-bis (naphthalen-1-y1)-N, N'-bis(pheny) benzidine was selected as the hole transporting layer. I-V characteristic curves of the device were measured in the dark and under the illumination of 340 nm UV light with density of 1.33 mW/cm2. The device showed a low dark current of about 3×10(-10) A and a high photo-dark current ratio of 1×10(5) at -2 V bias. A narrowband photoresponse was observed from 300 to 400 nm and centered at 340 nm with a full width at half-maximum of only 30 nm. The maximum peak response is at 340 nm, which is 0.192 A/W at the bias of -1 V.

The trend and extent of heavy metal accumulation over last one hundred years in the Liaodong Bay, China.

An integrated analysis has been carried out on two cores dated by combination of (210)Pb and (137)Cs in order to characterize the extent of heavy metal accumulation in the Liaodong Bay, Northern China. The concentrations and burial fluxes of Zn, Pb, Cd, and Hg increased abruptly after late 1970s. The enrichment factors of Cd, Hg, Zn and Pb are more than 30, 10, 7, and 3.5, respectively, in the surface sediments. Coincident to the increase of heavy metal contents, the decreasing trend of (206)Pb/(207)Pb ratio indicated lead in the surface sediments mainly come from anthropogenic activities.
