Novel materials based on lanthanide complexes with six pyrazolecarboxylates were obtained. They possess high solubility due to the purposeful introduction of the nitrogen heteroatom in α-position to the carboxy-group, and their luminescence quantum yields reach 100%. High absorption and non-toxicity allowed their successful use for bioimaging in cellulo. While the special approach to electron transport enhancement allowed using them as OLED emission materials.
To develop the recently proposed approach toward host selection for lanthanide-based emitters, four phosphine oxides PO = PO1-PO4 were investigated which are able to both increase the electron mobility and to sensitize terbium luminescence. New highly soluble and brightly luminescent terbium complexes TbCl3(PO)·H2O and Tb(pobz)3(PO)·(CH3)2CO (pobz- = phenoxybenzoate) with a quantum yield of up to 100% were synthesized and thoroughly characterized. To study the electroluminescence properties of these materials, a series of solution-processed OLED devices were fabricated and their heterostructures were selected based on the HOMO and LUMO energies of PO1-PO4, which were carefully assessed by the combination of DFT and TDDFT methods. Thus, the effectiveness of the proposed approach was proved, and the influence of the anionic ligand was shown. The maximum OLED luminance reached 75 Cd m-2, which is a high value for solution-processed OLEDs based on terbium complexes.
Features and advantages of the approach of the luminescent thin film deposition of non-volatile and non-soluble lanthanide aromatic carboxylates were exemplified by thin film deposition of terbium o-phenoxybenzoate Tb(pobz)3(H2O)2 (I) with quantum yield measured to be 96%. This approach is based on the formation and decomposition of mixed-ligand complexes, and thus mixed-ligand complex Tb(pobz)3(MG)(H2O)2 (II) (MG – monoglyme) was synthesized, characterized and used as a precursor for I thin films. Electroluminescent (EL) properties of high quality thin films of I and those with suitable host material were studied in a series of OLED devices.
The syntax and semantics of programs for CNC machines is defined in the standards of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and in local counterparts. Because of the very tight limits of these standards, most manufacturers of numeric controls extend the NC language by including specific structures. These can be simple commands, management of variables, control structures, etc. Using the above manufacturer-specific commands, a NC program cannot be used in the numeric control of another manufacturer. Sometimes, even the manufacturer-specific commands differ from newer software versions on the same control. The present algorithms can be used to support the user by converting NC programs from one type to another. The main focus was on versatility and simple usage. A software tool was programmed to verify the benefits of this approach.
Hollow shapes, particularly the shafts of road vehicle power trains, are a major potential for technical innovation since these components have to be especially strong while component weight and unit costs are highly restrictive. This strategy for innovation requires focusing on a wide range of disciplines of product and technology development and demands intensive and advanced interdisciplinary development of the required production technology. Hollow shapes can be produced with the spin extrusion process. Spin extrusion is a flexible rotatory pressure forming process which can be applied in dimensional ranges that cannot be attained by comparable processes, not in a cost-effective fashion or for very expensive materials. Spin extrusion is an incremental technique, meaning there are also the known difficulties standing in the way of analytically describing processes and targeted process control. The energetic approach has proved to be the most practicable because it makes it possible to differentiate between a wide range of factors and parameters having an impact on the process while applying them to machine and process control. The results of process development was a new processing principle for manufacturing hollow shaft components by forming for specific needs of the automobile industry and other industries with major accuracy and safety requirements.
