Owning to their geometrically frustrated structures, Kagome materials are ideal systems to realize QSL. We synthesize the kagome structured material claringbullite(Cu_4(OH)_6FCl) and then replace inter-layer Cu with Zn to form Cu_3Zn(OH)_6FCl. Comprehensive measurements reveal that doping Zn^(2+) ions transforms magnetically ordered Cu_4(OH)_6FCl into a non-magnetic QSL candidate Cu_3Zn(OH)_6FCl. Therefore,the successful syntheses of Cu_4(OH)_6FCl and Cu_3Zn(OH)_6FCl provide not only a new platform for the study of QSL but also a novel pathway of investigating the transition between QSL and magnetically ordered systems.展开更多

A clear gap opening at low temperature is observed in the uniform spin susceptibility obtained from 19F nuclear magnetic resonance measurements. We observe the characteristic magnetic field dependence of the gap as expected for fractionalized spin-1/2 spinon excitations. Our experimental results provide firm evidence for spin fractionalization in a topologically ordered spin system, resembling charge fraetionalization in the fractional quantum Hall state.展开更多

The results of TEM indicate that pyrolysis temperature is the predominant factor for controlling mean sizes of nanoparticles, ranging from 8 nm to 80 nm. Increasing the pyrolysis temperature enhances the mean size. The results of XRD show that nanoparticles are all of crystalline zincite. The mean size observed by TEM is in agreement with that calculated from the specific surface area(SSA) and the crystalline size calculated from the XRD patterns, indicating that the primary particles are rather uniform in size and have single crystals. The growth behaviors of epitaxy along the C-axis are responsible for the morphology of ZnO changing from sphere to rod-like shape, and then to reticulation. Compared with other synthesis approaches, P&P can get fairly good product with a relatively low cost.展开更多

The phase,acid strength,acid type and quantity,morphology,and thermal properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction,temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia,pyridine-adsorbed infrared spectrum,high-resolution transmission electron microscopy,and Thermo Gravimetry-Derivative Thermo Gravimetry（TG-DTG）,respectively. The breakthrough sulfur capacities of six adsorbents are between 34.2 and 47.9 mg/gcat. The kinetic studies indicated that the active energy of RADS（49.4 k J/mol） could reach nano-sized Zn O,the particle size of is about 12.0 nm. All the excellent RADS performances can be due to the high SBET. Also,there are some extents of aromatization reactions that occur,which can be contributed to the B？nsted acid rooted in Zn6Al2O9 composite oxide,and the octane number of products can be preserved well.展开更多
