A series of Zn-doped CuAlS2 bulk samples was synthesized by spark plasma sintering, and the CuAl0.90Zn0.10S2 film was prepared on a glass substrate by channel spark ablation. Their electrical and optical properties were carefully investigated. A sharp increase in conductivity due to the enhancement of both Hall mobility and carrier concentration was observed with the introduction of Zn. p-type conduction was confirmed by both the positive Seebeck coefficient and Hall coefficient. The conductivity of the thin film is as high as 63.5 S cm-1 at room temperature, and the average transmittance in the visible region is above 80%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Fu's subcutaneous needling (FSN) is a modern approach developed from traditional Chinese acupuncture. It could give some stimulation in the subcutaneous region that has a quick and long-lasting effect on soft tissue injuries and some of the internal medicine diseases. It is a safe approach without adverse reaction. Through analysis of the features and possible mechanism of FSN, it is believed that research on mechanism of FSN is beneficial to the development of modern medicine, especially to pain management.
