Heavy metal-free ZnSe-based core-shell quantum dots (QDs) are promising emitting material for achieving violet-blue luminescence. Investigating the temperature-dependent variations in the photoluminescence (PL) properties of ZnSe-based QDs will enhance our understanding of the intrinsic factors that influence their diverse luminescence characteristics. Here we select the optimally synthesized ZnSe core QDs with three diameters (4.1, 5.2, and 8.3 nm) and ZnSe/ZnS core-shell QDs to study their temperature-dependent photoluminescence properties. As the sample temperature is increased, the PL intensity decreases, the emission energy redshifts, and the spectral become broader. We observe a reduction in the exciton- longitudinal optical (LO)-phonon coupling constant from 21.7 meV to 16.1 meV as the diameter of ZnSe core QDs increased from 4.1 nm to 8.3 nm. This decrease is associated with a narrower homogeneous broadening of the emission spectrum. Besides, the epitaxial growth of a ZnS wide bandgap shells onto the ZnSe core QDs can effectively isolate the photogenerated excitons away from the inorganic-organic interface, thus reducing the PL peak width and increasing the exciton binding energy of the QDs. Our research provides a valuable addition to the existing studies on the photoluminescence properties of ZnSe-based core-shell QDs.

Fluidization of non-spherical particles is commonly found in the biomass and solid waste processing industry, and the jetting characteristic above the aeration plate is critical to the fluidization performance of these particles. In this study, cylindrical particles are used as typical non-spherical particles and co-fluidized with small bed material particles. X-ray computed tomography (XCT) is used to reconstruct the 3D structure of the aeration plate region, allowing for the identification of individual aeration jets. The effects of jet velocity ( U j ), cylindrical particle mass fraction ( ω ), cylindrical particle density ( ρ i ), and the cylindrical particle sphericity ( ϕ ) on jet shape and volume are investigated. The experimental results indicate that decreasing the cylindrical particle mass fraction ( ω ) and particle density ( ρ i ) increases the jet length ( L ), maximum jet diameter ( D ), and maximum jet volume ( V ), but have little effect on the jet half angle ( θ ). The cylindrical particle density ( ρ i ) is the most sensitive factor for jet shape, while the effect of cylinder particle sphericity ( ϕ ) on jet shape is insignificant. A correlation of jet length ( L ) in a two-component fluidized bed with cylindrical particles and bed material is proposed based on all the experimental results.

To study the effect of surface roughness on the corrosion behavior of austenitic steels in supercritical CO 2 , the corrosion experiments were conducted on 304 and 310S stainless steels at 550 °C and 15 MPa. The corroded samples were characterized using XRD and SEM-EDS. The results demonstrate that surface roughness significantly affects the morphology and structure of the oxide films formed on 310S stainless steel. Samples prepared with varying surface roughness (grounded using from 200# to 1000# metallographic abrasive papers) showed that rougher surfaces tend to develop denser oxide layers, whereas smoother surfaces exhibit relatively loose and porous oxide films. Despite these differences in oxide structure, the overall corrosion weight gain remained largely unaffected, indicating minimal oxide shedding from 310S steel. The oxidation product is mainly Cr 2 O 3 . For 304 stainless steel, surface roughness was found to influence the composition of surface oxides. Both 200# and 1000# samples formed loose, porous oxide films prone to spallation, with the primary constituents being Fe 3 O 4 , (Fe, Cr) 3 O 4 and Fe 2 O 3 . Because the content of (Fe, Cr) 3 O 4 and Fe 3 O 4 of the former is higher, more voids appear in the oxide film, leading to spallation within the first 100 h of exposure. The rougher surface showed a more pronounced loss of oxide. But for the 600# sample, the main component is Fe 2 O 3 . Carburization was observed to intensify with increasing surface roughness in both materials. Notably, the 200# sample of 310S stainless steel exhibited more severe carburization compared to the 1000# sample of 304 stainless steel.

Objective The Monte Carlo (MC) method has become a cornerstone for simulation of light propagation in biological tissues, particularly for applications in laser therapy and medical imaging. However, traditional voxel-based Monte Carlo (VMC) methods often exhibit significant errors when dealing with complex curved surfaces due to the inherent limitations of structured grid discretization. By contrast, tetrahedron-based Monte Carlo (TMC) methods, based on unstructured meshes, offer better adaptability to complex geometries but incur higher computational cost. This study aims to address the trade-off between computational efficiency and accuracy in light propagation simulations by proposing a novel correction method to improve the performance of VMC in handling curved interfaces with large refractive index differences. The objective is to enhance the accuracy of VMC while maintaining its computational efficiency, making it more viable for practical biomedical applications, such as laser treatment and optical diagnosis. Methods This study compares the performance of VMC and TMC in light propagation simulations under different refractive index conditions. We propose a coordinate transformation-based correction method to reduce the errors in VMC caused by the inaccurate handling of reflection and refraction at curved interfaces. The simulations were carried out on a multi-layer skin tissue model with varying refractive index conditions;the laser light was directed at blood vessels embedded within the dermis. The correction method involves transforming the photon direction vector in a way that accounts for the curvature of the interface, thereby improving the accuracy of light photon interactions at the tissue boundaries. Simulations were conducted using MATLAB, and the results were validated through experimental cases, such as diabetic retinopathy laser treatment. The computational setup included an Intel i7-9700K processor and an NVIDIA GTX 3080 graphics card (GPU). Resu
