Photoluminescence spectra of porous silicon modified by copper phthalocyanine coating
In this paper we present photoluminescence (PL) spectra of porous silicon (PSi) coated with thin top layer of copper phthalocyanine (CuPc). PSi was by electrochemical anodisation method prepared. CuPc based thin organic film was using physical vapor deposition (PVD) in high vacuum on the top of fresh PSi deposited. PL was under pulsed excitation measured and samples were in vacuum enclosed. PSi/CuPc samples exhibit strong photoluminescence in visible region at room temperature. Observed PL spectra exhibit multiband structure and such structure changes in red region compared to “clean” PSi. Properties of PSi/organic luminescence can be explained by penetration of organic material into PSi skeleton and interaction between carriers in PSi and deposited material.
Time-of-flight repeller circuit application in laser ablation experiment
A proposed repeller circuit system of laser ablation apparatus is applied to analyse ions produced at the process of ablation. A repeller pulse gives the possibility of improving the resolution of the detection system based on the TOF spectrometer. Improvement of the system parameters is one of the advantages of the application of programmable logical devices. Moreover, application of such devices in high-resolution counting systems increases the flexibility of the system, increases the degree of the system integration and leads directly to increasing the system reliability.
SR topography of plastically deformed Fe-Si bicrystals - observation in situ and post mortem
SR reflection topography was applied to study the interaction of slip dislocations with the grain boundaries in Fe-4at%Si bicrystals deformed by compression. Three experimental settings with either a white or monochromatic beam were used and the corresponding orientation contrast analysed. Dislocation transmission through the grain boundary was observed in bicrystals with favourable geometry of the slip systems.
