However, great challenges in the controllable synthesis of high-quality IV-VI chalcogenide nanostructures have hindered their in-depth studies and practical applications to date. Here we report, for the first time, a feasible synthesis of single-crystal IV-VI SnSe nanoplates in a controlled manner on mica substrates by vapor transport deposition. The as-grown SnSe nanoplates have approximately square shapes with controllable side lengths varying from I to 6 Dm. Electrical transport and optoelectronic measurements show that as-obtained SnSe nanoplates display p-type conductivity and high photoresponsivity.展开更多

The (100) face of seed crystal was used as the growth face, and FeNiMnCo alloy was used as the solvent/catalyst. Two kinds of carbon diffusing fields (type-B and type-G) were simulated by finite element method (FEM). Using the two kinds of carbon diffusing fields, many diamond single crystals were synthesized. The effects of carbon diffusing fields on the crystal quality and β value (the ratio of height to diameter of diamond crystal) were studied. The results show that using type-B diffusing field, considerable inclusions appeared in tower-shape diamond crystals with high β values; however, using type- G diffusing field, inclusions were reduced markedly in high β values tower-shape diamond crystals, and the crystal, up to 0.6 carat in weight and 5.3 mm in size, was synthesized. Experimental phenomena were explained well with the help of the FEM.展开更多

All complexes were structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analyses, IR spectra, thermogravimetric (TG) analyses and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). Complex 1 exhibits a 3D three-fold parallel interpenetrated 3D · 3D structure with (65.8) CdSO4 topology. Complex 2 is built from [Co3(μ/2-Ocarboxyl)2(CO2)4] clusters and linear bib ligands, displaying a two-fold par- allel interpenetrated (3,8)-connected (4^3)2(4^6.6^18·8^4) topology, while complex 3 is a 3D pillar-layered structure involving an in- finite -Co-(μ2-Ocarboxyl)(CO2)-Co-chain. The diverse structures of the three complexes indicate that the skeletons of different N-donor ligands play an important role in the assembly of such different frameworks. In addition, magnetic investigation indi- cates that besides spin-orbit coupling of Co(II) ions, there exist antiferromagnetic exchange interactions in Co5 and Co3 clus- ters of 1 and 2, respectively.展开更多

The temperature-dependenceof electric resistivity and Hall coefficient from 2 to 300 K shows that the CaB6single crystals are conductors withsemi-metallic behavior and electron carriers. Band structure calculations indicate that the conduction and valence bands meetat the X point at the Fermi level, which is consistent with the experimentally determined conducting behavior of CaB6singlecrystals. Calculations of state density suggest that the states at the Fermi level originate from the 2p orbital of the B atoms andthe 3d orbital of the Ca atom. Magnetization measurements show the paramagnetic nature of the CaB6. The micro-hardness ofCaB6is 24.39 GPa, and the Raman spectra of CaB6yield three sharp peaks at around 780.9, 1138.9, and 1282.1 cm 1for T2g,Eg, and A1g, respectively. The specific heat of the crystal is measured and found to be well described by the Debye and Einsteincombined model. The fitting results show Debye and Einstein temperatures are 1119 and 199 K, respectively.展开更多

The relationship between the growth time and the weight of growth diamond has been gained. The faces of {110} and {113} were found in the synthetic diamond crystals frequently. We found that the relative growth rate of {113} face was descending with the increase of growth temperature, and that of {110} face had no obvious change with the increase of the growth temperatures and the growth time. In the work, the crystal defects were studied carefully, and the reasons for the appearance of the defects were also obtained. Some diamond crystals have been polished into the anvil of DAC (Diamond Anvil Cell) and the diamond jewelry. Compared with natural diamond crystal, synthetic diamond crystal has the merits such as small grinding quantity, low cost, etc., so it can be widely used in super high pressure field and gemstone industry.展开更多

The diameters of the as-synthesized iron oxide NPs decrease with increasing concentrations of iron oleate complex and oleic acid/oleylamine. In addition, the size-dependent crystallinity and magnetic properties of iron oxide NPs are presented. It is found that larger iron oxide NPs have a higher degree of crystallinity and saturation magnetization. More importantly, various M-iron oxide heterostructures (M = Au, Ag, Pt, Pd) have been successfully fabricated by using the same synthesis procedure. The iron oxide NPs are grown over the pre-made metal seeds through a seed-mediated growth process. The physicochemical properties of Au-Fe3O4 heterostructures have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometry and UV-vis spectroscopy. The as-synthesized Au-Fe3O4 heterostructures show a red-shift in surface plasmon resonance peak compared with Au NPs and similar magnetic properties to Fe3O4 NPs. The heterojunction effects present in such nanostructures offer the opportunity to tune the irphysicochemical properties. Therefore, this synthesis process can be regarded as an efficient way to fabricate a series of heterostructures for a variety of applications.展开更多
