The (1FN)+ (n=1-3) series cluster ions are observed where the signal intensity decreases with increasing cluster size. The effects of sample inlet pressures and ionization laser fluxes to mass spectral distribution are measured. Using density functional theory calculations, it obtains a planar geometric structure of 1FN dimer which is combined through two hydrogen bonds. The mass spectra indicate that the intensity of 1FN trimer is much weaker than that of 1FN dimer and this feature is attributed to the fact that the dimer may form the first "shell" in geometric structure while the larger clusters are generated based on this fundamental unit.展开更多

It was found that after RTAtreatment, the PL spectrum of the QDs sample had a large blue-shift and significantly broadened at 300 K. Compared with theas-grown InAs QDs sample, the PL spectral width has increased by 44.68 meV in the InAs QDs sample RTA-treated at800 ℃. The excitation power-dependent PL measurements showed that the broadening of the PL peaks of the RTA-treatedInAs QDs should be related to the emission of the ground state (GS) of different-sized InAs QDs, the InAs wetting layer (WL)and the In0.15Ga0.85As strain reduction layer (SRL) in the epitaxial InAs/GaAs layers.展开更多

The small carbon dusters (positive or negative charge or neutral) are formed by plasma which are produced by a high power 532nm pulse laser ablating the surface of the metal Mn rod to react with small hydrocarbons supplied by a pulse valve, then the neutral carbon clusters are extracted and photo-ionized by another laser (266nm or 355nm) in the ionization region of a linear time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The distributions of the initial neutral carbon dusters are analysed with the ionic species appeared in mass spectra. It is observed that the yield of small carbon dusters with the present method is about 10 times than that of the traditional widely used technology of laser vaporization of graphite.展开更多

The analysis considers five perfect carbon nanocones with disclination angles of 60°, 120°, 180°, 240° and 300°, respectively. The numerical results reveal that the low-energy electronic states and energy gaps of a carbon nanocones are highly sensitive to its geometric shape(i.e. the disclination angle and height), and to the direction and magnitude of an electric field. The electric field causes a strong modulation of the state energies and energy gaps of the nanocones, changes their Fermi levels, and induces zero-gap transitions. The energy-gap modulation effect becomes particularly pronounced at higher strength of the applied electric field, and is strongly related to the geometric structure of the nanocone.展开更多

文摘Water electrolysis technology is considered to be one of the most promising means to produce hydrogen.Herein,aiming at the problems of high overpotential and slow kinetics in water splitting,N-doped porous carbon nanofibers-coupled CoNi_(2)S_(4)nanoparticles are prepared as bifunctional electrocatalyst.In the strategy,NaCl is used as the template to prepare porous carbon nanofibers with a large surface area,and sulfur vacancies are created to modulate the electronic structure of CoNi_(2)S_(4).Electron spin resonance confirms the formation of abundant sulfur vacancies,which largely reduce the bandgap of CoNi_(2)S_(4)from 1.68 to 0.52 eV.The narrowed bandgap is conducive to the migration of valence electrons and decreases the charge transfer resistance for electrocatalytic reaction.Moreover,the uniform distribution of CoNi_(2)S_(4)nanoparticles on carbon nanofibers can prevent the aggregation and facilitate the exposure of electrochemical active sites.Therefore,the composite catalyst exhibits low overpotentials of 340 mV@100 mA·cm^(-2)for oxygen evolution reaction and 380 mV@100 mA·cm^(-2)for hydrogen evolution reaction.The assembled electrolyzer requires 1.64 V to achieve 10 mA·cm^(-2)for overall water-splitting with good long-term stability.The excellent performance results from the synergistic effect of porous structures,sulfur deficiency,nitrogen doping,and the well-dispersed active component.
