In this conventional method, measured LIRs are compared with theoretical values calculated using a collisional-radiative (CR) model to find the best possible $n_{rm e}$ and $T_{rm e}$. Basic CR models have been improved to take into account several effects. For instance, radiation trapping can occur to a significant degree in weakly ionized plasmas, leading to major alterations of LIRs. This effect has been included with optical escape factors in CR models. A new approach to the evaluation of $n_{rm e}$ and $T_{rm e}$ from He I LIRs has recently been explored using machine learning (ML). In the ML-aided LIR method, a predictive model is developed with training data, which consist of input (measured LIRs) and desired/known output (measured $n_{rm e}$ or $T_{rm e}$ from other diagnostics). It has been demonstrated that this new method predicts $n_{rm e}$ and $T_{rm e}$ better than using the conventional method coupled with a CR model, not only for He but also for other species.","PeriodicalId":507822,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141669413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Alkali metal compounds have been demonstrated to be helpful promoters for the growth of large single crystal monolayer MoS2 on SiO2/Si substrate. However, the catalytic mechanism of alkali metal compounds is still under debate. Herein, we compared the surface morphology, optical properties, and electrical properties of monolayer MoS2 flakes grown on SiO2/Si substrate assisted by promoters containing potassium or sodium cations and halogen (chlorine) or non-halogen (hydroxide) anions, i.e., NaCl, NaOH, KCl and KOH. Based on the analysis of existing growth mechanism, we proposed that the alkali metal cation, plays a dominant role in promoting the lateral growth of monolayer MoS2 and obtaining high crystal quality. Furthermore, potassium has a greater promoting effect than sodium. By optimizing growth conditions, monolayer triangular MoS2 flakes with large lateral size over 160 µm were grown assisted by KCl promoter. Raman and PL spectra verified excellent crystal quality of the flakes, with typical electron mobilities of 2.98 and 20 cm2·V-1·s-1 for the back-gated filed effect transistors fabricated on as-grown and fresh SiO2/Si substrates, respectively.","PeriodicalId":507822,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141670010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis allows one to determine the standard enthalpy and the standard entropy changes for Oxyfluoride formation from Barium oxide and Barium fluoride. To identify the thermodynamically more favorable route to the Oxyfluoride formation in the MOD low-fluorine process, the free energy change for the formation of the precursor, through reactions involving gas water, has been determined. The free energy of formation via fluoride and water indicates higher stability of oxygen rich Oxyfluoride for (P_HF^2)/P_(H_2 O) <10^(-6).

However, current plasmonic lasers face several challenges, such as the difficulty in controlling nanowire size, disordered arrangement, and complicated fabrication process. Herein, ultra-thin gain media for plasmonic lasers below the cutoff size of the photonic mode are prepared using the PDMS-assisted imprinting. This method enables precise control over the size of the perovskite nanowire, with the minimum size achievable being 60 nm. As a result, the plasmonic lasing is achieved from the CsPbBr3 nanowire-based device with a threshold as low as ~49.13 μJ cm-2 and a Quality Factor (Q) of 1803 at room temperature, demonstrating its capability for achieving high-quality lasing. Meanwhile, a dual-pumping time-resolved fluorescence study suggests that the radiative recombination lifetime of CsPbBr3 nanowires is shortened by a factor of 10 due to the Purcell effect, confirming the plasmonic effect exhibited by the device. Furthermore, a plasmonic laser array is developed using this method, demonstrating the applicability of the imprinting method in complex graphic fabrication.
