The results showed that the cubic Y2O3 did not transfer into hexagonal Y(OH)3 in pure water. Therefore, pure hexagonal Y(OH)3 with nanotube and microrod morphologies were obtained by hydrothermal treating Y2O3 at 150 oC for 12 h in 15 ml of 2 mol/L NaOH solution with and without PVA or PEG. It was suggested that the characteristic preferential growth of Y(OH)3 was attributed to the structure anisotropy of hexahedron Y(OH)3. The addition of PVA or PEG could promote the forming process of nanotubes by selective adsorption on different crystal planes, which altered the growth rate along different directions and resulted in the diffusion limit of constructing ions in the center top of rods. Finally, Y(OH)3:Eu and Y2O3:Eu nanotubes were also synthesized by using this method, and their photoluminescence properties were evaluated.展开更多

The results show that the quantum conductance at the Fermi energy oscillates periodically with the junction＇s size, and the number of oscillating periodic layers is 3 which is the same as that in the two terminated （10, 0）/m（5, 5）/（10, 0） junctions. Moreover, this Y-junction with different size exhibits an obviously different distribution of electron current in the two drain branches, called shunt valve effect of electronic current. Thus the degree of this effect can be controlled and modulated directly by constructing the three branches＇ sizes or the distribution of defect. The results show in detail that the difference between the two drain currents can be up to two times for some constructions with special sizes. In addition, the uniform distribution of defects in the Y-junction leads to lower quantum conductance than that of other defect configurations.展开更多
