The periodic boundary condition, the ultrasoft pseudopotentials technique based on density functional theory (DFT) with generalized gradient approxi,natior, (GGA) functional were applied in our ab initio calculations. By analyzing bonding energy oil site, the favourable adsorption site was determined. The calculations also predicted that the adsorption products should be Si=O and H2O. This theoretical study snpported the reaction mechanism provided by Kovalev et al, The results were also a base for further investigation of some more complex systems such as the oxida.tion on porous silicon surface.展开更多

White LEDs provided a light element having a semiconductor InGaN light-emitting chip (blue or UV LEDs) and luminescent phosphors. Here we reported the sialon s-phase of (Sr,Eu)2A12Si10N14O4. Eu^2+ activator ions that were substituted for the strontium site represented a new type of yeUow-green phosphor that could be excited by blue LEDs used for application in the fabrication of white LEDs.展开更多

DTA TG, XRD, TEM and A C impedance techniques were used to investigate the structure, shape, and ionic conductivity of these samples. The results show that the range of solid solution formation is in 0< x ≤0 09, in which the conductivity of these samples raises with the increasing amount of RE 2O 3 (RE=Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd) added, and the diameter of the powders is about 100 nm. Compared with the conventional solid state reaction, the sol gel method needs low temperature and presents high ionic conductivity.展开更多
