摘要: Localized surface plasmons (LSPs) have played a significant role in improving the light emission efficiency of light emitting diodes (LEDs). In this report, polygonal nanoholes have been fabricated in the p-GaN layer of InGaN-based LEDs by using Ni nanoporous film as the etching mask, and then Au/Al metal nanoparticles are embedded in the nanoholes to form the LSP structure. The coupling between the LSP and the LED has been clearly observed. The results show that the light output of the LEDs has been increased by 46% at higher current injection condition, and together with a shift of the gain peak position to the LSP peak resonance energy. As the coupling distance is decreased from 60 nm to 30 nm, the maximum enhancement factor increases to 2.38. The above results indicate that the LSP from the polygonal metal nanoparticles is a kind of very promising structure to enhance the lighting performance of the InGaN-based LEDs.

摘要: Gamma-Ray Integrated Detectors (GRID) mission is a student project designed to use multiple gamma-ray detectors carried by nanosatellites (CubeSats), forming a full-time all-sky gamma-ray detection network that monitors the transient gamma-ray sky in the multi-messenger astronomy era. A compact CubeSat gamma-ray detector, including its hardware and firmware, was designed and implemented for the mission. The detector employs four Gd2Al2Ga3O12 : Ce (GAGG:Ce) scintillators coupled with four silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) arrays to achieve a high gamma-ray detection efficiency between 10 keV and 2 MeV with low power and small dimensions. The first detector designed by the undergraduate student team onboard a commercial CubeSat was launched into a Sun-synchronous orbit on October 29, 2018. The detector was in a normal observation state and accumulated data for approximately one month after on-orbit functional and performance tests, which were conducted in 2019.
