RESUMO
In this study, simple-structured wavelength sensors were developed by depositing two back-to-back Au/MAPbI3/Au photodetectors on an MAPbI3 single crystal. This sensor could quantitatively distinguish wavelengths. Further device analysis showed that both photodetectors possess entirely disparate optoelectronic properties. Consequently, the as-developed wavelength sensor could accurately distinguish incident-light wavelengths ranging from 265 to 860 nm with a resolution of less than 1.5 nm based on the relation between the photocurrent ratios of both photodetectors and the incident light wavelengths. Notably, a high resolution and wide detection range are among the optimum reported values for such sensors and enable full-color imaging. Furthermore, technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulations showed that a mechanism involved in distinguishing wavelengths is attributed to the wavelength-dependent photon generation rate in MAPbI3 single crystals. The high-performance MAPbI3 wavelength sensor can potentially drive the research progress of perovskites in wavelength recognition and full-color imaging.
RESUMO
Here we demonstrate a room temperature processed nonvolatile memory device based on an Al/AlO(x)/CdTe:Sb nanowire (NW) heterojunction. Electrical analysis shows an echelon hysteresis composed of a high-resistance state (HRS) and a low-resistance state (LRS), which can allow it to write and erase data from the device. The conductance ratio is as high as 106, with a retention time of 3 × 104 s. Moreover, the SET voltages ranged from +6 to +8 V, whilst the RESET voltage â¼0 V. In addition, flexible memory nano-devices on PET substrate with comparable switching performance at bending condition were fabricated. XPS analysis of the Al/AlO(x)/CdTe:Sb NW heterojunction after controlled Ar⺠bombardment reveals that this memory behavior is associated with the presence of ultra-thin AlO(x) film. This Al/AlO(x)/CdTe:Sb NW heterojunction will open up opportunities for new memory devices with different configurations.
RESUMO
To increase the monodispersity of magnetic hybrid nanocomposites, a novel ultrasonic method was introduced to synthesize uniform Fe3O4@SiO2-Ag nanospheres. The immobilized Ag nanocrystals were tunable by varying the experimental conditions. An antibacterial assay indicated that the Fe3O4@SiO2-Ag nanospheres exhibited excellent antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, in which the minimum inhibition concentrations (MIC) were 40 µg mL(-1) and 20 µg mL(-1), respectively. The live/dead bacterial cell fluorescence stain assay agreed well with the antibacterial assay. The CCK-8 results indicated these nanospheres were bio-compatible for human normal cells and presented relative cytotoxicity against HepG2 tumor cells. These nanospheres could be easily uptaken by the cells and they could affect bacterial cells both inside and outside the cell membrane, which enable them to be promisingly applied in future biomedical areas.
