A novel vanadium–cellulose composite thin film-based on angular interrogation surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor for ppb-level detection of Ni(II) ion was developed. Experimental results show that the has a linear response to concentrations in range 2–50 ppb with determination coefficient (R2) 0.9910. This SPR can attain maximum sensitivity (0.068° ppb−1), binding affinity constant (1.819 ×...

Nanotechnology is a fast growing field; engineering matters at the nano-meter scale. A key nanomaterial is nanoparticles (NPs). These sub-wavelength (< 100nm) particles provide tremendous possibilities due to their unique electrical, optical, and mechanical properties. Plethora of NPs with various chemical composition, size and shape has been synthesized. Clever designs of sub-wavelength struct...

Article history: Received 26 June 2016 Accepted 7 July 2016 Available online xxxx In the thin film transistors (TFTs) device research for foldable display, the degradation effect by the mechanical stress is crucial. Here, the crack position is critical for TFT reliability. However, it is difficult to characterize the crack position due to the random generation of the crack by mechanical stress....

The global thin film transistor-liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) manufacturers concentrate in Korea, Japan and Taiwan. In view of growing rapidly of demand in the world, the competition of TFT-LCD manufacturers has been a fierce phenomenon. The most important subject for every TFT-LCD manufacturer administrator is how to make the best disposition of resources and create more and more profits. T...

The TFT LCD (Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display) industry is one the most rapid growth high-technology industry in recent decades. The development process of this industry is complex and dynamic, requires the accumulation of technology capability, capital, production capacity, and human resources. For a late coming country, the development process also involves with tense interactions ...

We demonstrate a novel display structure for color electronic paper for the first time. Fully transparent amorphous oxide TFT array is directly deposited onto color filter array and combined with E Ink Imaging Film. Taking advantage of the transparent property of the oxide TFT, the color filter and TFT array are positioned at the viewing side of the display. This novel “Front Drive” display str...

The demand for real-time or in situ structural health monitoring has stimulated efforts to integrate self and environmental sensing capabilities into structural composite materials. Essential to the application of smart composites is the issue of the mechanical coupling of the sensor to the host material. In this study various methods of embedding sensors within the host composite material are ...

Transient reflectivity measurements using ultrashort pulse pump-probe techniques can provide very useful information on fast carrier dynamics in semiconductors. Several non-trivial problems encountered in measuring reflectivity changes have been described. These changes can be very small (ΔR/R ~10 or less) and hence measuring these small changes is not straightforward. The possible solutions in...
