Cerebral Hemispheres01:05

Cerebral Hemispheres

2.5K
The human brain, a complex organ, is functionally divided into two cerebral hemispheres—left and right. These hemispheres are interconnected by a structure of paramount importance, the corpus callosum. This substantial bundle of neural fibers is not just a bridge between the hemispheres but a crucial element for the brain's comprehensive functioning. It enables efficient communication between the two hemispheres, allowing each side of the brain to control and receive sensory and motor...

Thin-Walled Hollow Shafts

596
In analyzing a thin-walled hollow shaft subjected to torsional loading, a segment with width dx is isolated for examination. Despite its equilibrium state, this segment faces torsional shearing forces at its ends. These forces are quantitatively described by the product of the longitudinal shearing stress on the segment's minor surface and the area of this surface, leading to the concept of shear flow. This shear flow is consistent throughout the structure, indicating a uniform distribution of...

Red Algae

1.1K
Red algae, also known as rhodophytes, are primarily found in marine environments, though some species inhabit freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems. These organisms exist in both unicellular and multicellular forms, with some multicellular varieties reaching macroscopic sizes.As phototrophic organisms, red algae contain chlorophyll a; however, their chloroplasts lack chlorophyll b. Instead, they possess phycobiliproteins, which serve as major light-harvesting pigments, similar to those found in...

Microtubules01:35

Microtubules

101.6K
There are three types of cytoskeletal structures in eukaryotic cells—microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. With a diameter of about 25 nm, microtubules are the thickest of these fibers. Microtubules carry out a variety of functions that include cell structure and support, transport of organelles, cell motility (movement), and the separation of chromosomes during cell division.

The Proteasome02:18

The Proteasome

10.3K
Eukaryotic cells can degrade proteins through several pathways. One of the most important amongst these is the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. It helps the cell eliminate the misfolded, damaged, or unwarranted cytoplasmic proteins in a highly specific manner.
In this pathway, the target proteins are first tagged with small proteins called ubiquitin. A series of enzymes carry out the ubiquitination of the target proteins - E1 (ubiquitin-activating enzyme), E2 (ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme), and E3...

Area of Science:

  • Optoelectronics
  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Total internal reflection limits light extraction efficiency in AlGaInP-based Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs).
  • Existing LED designs often struggle to overcome optical loss mechanisms.
  • Advanced light extraction structures are crucial for improving LED performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To fabricate and evaluate a hollow hemispherical polystyrene (HHPS) structure for enhanced light extraction in AlGaInP-based LEDs.
  • To investigate the impact of HHPS on external quantum efficiency (EQE) and wall-plug efficiency (WPE).
  • To demonstrate the effectiveness of HHPS in reducing total internal reflection and increasing light output.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of hollow hemispherical polystyrene (HHPS) structures.
  • Characterization of LED performance with and without HHPS at an injection current of 350 mA.
  • Utilizing rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA) for numerical simulation.

Main Results:

  • LEDs incorporating HHPS structures showed significantly improved performance.
  • External quantum efficiencies reached up to 33.77% and wall-plug efficiencies up to 27.33%.
  • Performance enhancement is attributed to surface roughness, microlens effect, and scattering from the HHPS array, which enlarges the effective light cone.

Conclusions:

  • The HHPS structure is an effective method for enhancing light extraction efficiency in AlGaInP-based LEDs.
  • The combination of surface modification and array design in HHPS contributes to superior optical performance.
  • RCWA simulations confirm the ability of HHPS arrays to enlarge the effective light cone, validating experimental findings.
