We demonstrate the formation of an isolated intermediate electronic band structure through diluted O-substitute in zinc-blende ZnY (Y = S, Se, Te) at octahedral sites in a semiconductor by the calculations of density of states (DOS), leading to a significant absorption below the band gap of the parent semiconductor and an enhancement of the optical absorption in the whole energy range of the solar spectrum. It is found that the intermediate band states should be described as a result of the coupling between impurity O 2p states with the conduction band states. Moreover, the intermediate bands (IBs) in ZnTeO show high stabilization with the change of O concentration resulting from the largest electronegativity difference between O and Te compared with in the other ZnSO and ZnSeO.展开更多

Microstructure, crystal structure, martensitic transformation behavior, and magnetic properties of the films were studied. With increasing deposition temperature, the surface morphology of the films transforms from granular to continu- ous. The martensitic transformation temperature is not dependent on deposition temperature; while transformation behavior is affected substantially by deposition temperature. X-ray analysis reveals that the film deposited at 873 K has a 7M marten- site phase, and its magnetization curve provides a typical step-increase, indicating the occurrence of magnetically induced reorientation (MIR). In situ magnetic domain structure observation on the film deposited at 873 K reflects that the marten- sitic transformation could be divided into two periods: nucleation and growth, in the form of stripe domains. The MIR occurs at the temperature at which martensitic transformation starts, and the switching field increases with the decrease of temperature due to damped thermal activation. The magnetically induced martensitic transformation is related to the difference of magnetization between martensite and austenite. A shift of martensite temperature of dT/dH = 0.43 K/T is observed, consistent with the theoretical value, 0.41 K/T.展开更多

Magnetization process with a typical two-hysteresis loop indicates the occurrence of the reversible magnetic field-induced reorientation. Magnetic domain structure and twin structure of the film were controlled by the in- terplay of the magnetic and temperature field. With cooling under an out-of-plane magnetic field, the evolution of magnetic domain structure reveals that martensitic transformation could be divided into two periods: nucleation and growth. With an in-plane magnetic field applied to a thermomagnetic-treated film, the evolution of magnetic domain structure gives evidence of a reorientation of twin variants of martensite. A microstructural model is described to define the twin structure and to produce the magnetic domain structure at the beginning of martensitic transformation; based on this model, the relationship between the twin structure and the magnetic domain structure for the treated film under an in-plane field is also described.展开更多

The microstructural analysis shows two kinds of grain boundaries:LSMO/LSMO and LSMO/second phase/LSMO. Two maximal resistivities appear in LSMO/0.33CuO and LSMO/0.33ZnOcomposites while the resistivity of LSMO/0.33Al2O3 decreases monotonically with increasing the temperature from 200 K to 400 K.Moreover, the temperature dependence of magnetoresistance(MR) of LSMO/0.33Al2O3 that decreases monotonically with increasingthe temperature is different from that of LSMO/0.33CuO and LSMO/0.33ZnO. A developed two-channel model consisting ofscattering model and tunneling model was proposed to fit the resistivity—temperature curves of these composites. The role of secondintroduced phase and the magnetotransport mechanism of these composites were elucidated.展开更多

This study is aimed at developing a simple, stable, and reproducible aggregated method for Ag-NPs without any aggregation agents in aqueous solutions. The aggregation is induced by the process of centrifugation, water washing and ultrasonication. A mechanism based on the nonuniform distribution of capping ligands is proposed to account for the aggregated structure formation. UV-Vis-NIR extinction spectra and TEM allowed us to identify the existence of Ag-NPs aggregation. Further, due to the polydisperse mixture of Ag-NPs (20~65 nm) used in the present work, Ag-NPs are aggregated closely, which contribute to the observation of low-concentration SERS from the residual citrate layer or even the single-molecule SERS of R6Gon aggregation. After the evaporation of droplet of Ag-NPs aggregation on the Si substrate, citrate or R6Gcould also be detected but with marked redor blue-shifts.展开更多

From an X-ray diffraction (XRD) study, the hexagonal wurtzite phase of ZnxCdl_xS is verified, and the Zn mole fraction (x) is determined to be 0.09. According to the experimental results, we propose a mechanism for the growth of Zn0.09Cd0.91S hollow spheres. The results of the cathodoluminescence investigation indicate uniform Zn, Cd, and S distribution of alloyed Zn0.09Cd0.91S, instead of separate CdS, ZnS, or nanocrystals of a core- shell structure. To the best of our knowledge, the fabrication of ZnxCd1-xS hollow spheres of this kind by one-step thermal evaporation has never been reported. This work would present a new method of growing and applying hollow spheres on Si substrates, and the discovery of the Zn0.09Cd0.91S hollow spheres would make the investigation of ZnxCd1-xS micro/nanostructures more interesting and intriguing.展开更多

Both the reflectivity and Kerr spectra of CoDLF show anisotropic effects when the azimuthal angle of incident light changes. From the simulation result of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), we attribute the reflectivity minima and Kerr angle maxima in the spectra mainly to the excitation of different diffractional orders' SPPs. More interestingly, the Kerr angle changes sign at specific wavelengths. We attribute these phenomena to the excitation of SPPs and localized surface plasmons (LSPs), and the interaction between them.展开更多

In this work, OVs were artificially introduced in the surface of a pure TiO2 single crystal by pulsed laser irradiation. Raman spectra showed that the intensity of Eg mode was enhanced. Theoretical calculations disclose that this was caused by the strong coupling effect between the phonon vibration and plasmon induced by the OVs-related surface deformation, and good agreement was achieved between the experiments and theory.展开更多

文摘A novel NiII complex [{Ni(IBG)(4,4'-bipy)(H2O)2}·3H2O]n 1 (H2IBG = isophthaloylbisglycine and 4,4'-bipy = 4,4'-bipyridine) has been synthesized and characterized by singlecrystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, IR spectra and thermogravimetric analysis. It crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P2/c with a = 15.5420(7), b = 22.4344(1), c = 8.3455(5), β = 101.538(3)o, V = 2670.1(7)3, Z = 4, C22H32N4NiO13, Mr = 619.23, Dc = 1.443 g/cm3, F(000) = 1296.0, μ(MoKα) = 0.750 mm-1, the final R = 0.0570 and wR = 0.1445 for 2296 observed reflections with I 〉 2σ(I). In the structure, the NiII metal center is coordinated in an octahedral environment arranged by two water molecules, two carboxylate oxygen atoms and two nitrogen atoms from two 4,4'-bipy ligands. Thermal decomposition and powder X-ray diffraction results indicate that the transformation from the crystal form, [{Ni(IBG)(4,4'-bipy)(H2O)2}·3H2O]n, to the amorphous powder, Ni(IBG)(4,4'-bipy)(H2O)2, is reversible, so the latter form may be utilized as an absorbing agent for water and water vapor.

文摘A new metal-organic coordination polymer {[Nd(tci)(H2O)2]·2H2O}n(1) has been synthesized based on the flexible tricarboxylate ligand tris(2-carboxyethyl)isocyanuric acid(H3tci) and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, elemental analysis, infrared spectra(IR), powder X-ray diffraction(PXRD) and thermogravimetric analysis(TGA). Complex 1 crystallizes in triclinic, space group P1 with a = 9.1648(11), b = 9.3326(12), c = 12.440(2) , C(12)H(20)N3O(13) Nd, Mr = 558.55, V = 886.9(2) 3, Z = 2, Dc = 2.092 g·cm-3, μ = 3.006 mm-1, F(000) = 554, 2.56〈θ〈25.00°, λ(Mo Kα) = 0.71073 , T = 293(2) K, the final R = 0.0662 and w R = 0.2071. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that complex 1 is a two-dimensional layer, which is further assembled into a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture through hydrogen bonding interactions. The structure of complex 1 can be simplified as a rare 2-periodic uninodal {48·62} topology and a non-interpenetrating kgd topology. Furthermore, the thermal stability and photoluminescence property of 1 were investigated.
文摘Citrate-reduced silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) are used extensively for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) studies, but are typically found to aggregate using an aggregation agent. This study is aimed at developing a simple, stable, and reproducible aggregated method for Ag-NPs without any aggregation agents in aqueous solutions. The aggregation is induced by the process of centrifugation, water washing and ultrasonication. A mechanism based on the nonuniform distribution of capping ligands is proposed to account for the aggregated structure formation. UV-Vis-NIR extinction spectra and TEM allowed us to identify the existence of Ag-NPs aggregation. Further, due to the polydisperse mixture of Ag-NPs (20~65 nm) used in the present work, Ag-NPs are aggregated closely, which contribute to the observation of low-concentration SERS from the residual citrate layer or even the single-molecule SERS of R6Gon aggregation. After the evaporation of droplet of Ag-NPs aggregation on the Si substrate, citrate or R6Gcould also be detected but with marked redor blue-shifts.

文摘The temperature dependences of magnetostriction in Pr(1 x)DyxFe(1.9)(0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) alloys between 5 K and 300 K were investigated.An unusual decrease of magnetostriction with temperature decreasing was found in Pr-rich alloys(0 ≤x ≤ 0.2),due to the change of the easy magnetization direction(EMD).Dy substitution reduces the magnetostriction in high-magnetic field(10 kOe ≤ H≤90 kOe) at 5 K,while a small amount of Dy substitution(x = 0.05) is beneficial to increasing the magnetostriction in low-magnetic field between 10 K and 50 K.This makes the alloys a potential candidate for low temperature applications.

文摘Novel hollow ZnxCdl xS spheres that are uniform in size are synthesized through the one-step thermal evaporation of a mixture of Zn and CdS powder. From an X-ray diffraction (XRD) study, the hexagonal wurtzite phase of ZnxCdl_xS is verified, and the Zn mole fraction (x) is determined to be 0.09. According to the experimental results, we propose a mechanism for the growth of Zn0.09Cd0.91S hollow spheres. The results of the cathodoluminescence investigation indicate uniform Zn, Cd, and S distribution of alloyed Zn0.09Cd0.91S, instead of separate CdS, ZnS, or nanocrystals of a core- shell structure. To the best of our knowledge, the fabrication of ZnxCd1-xS hollow spheres of this kind by one-step thermal evaporation has never been reported. This work would present a new method of growing and applying hollow spheres on Si substrates, and the discovery of the Zn0.09Cd0.91S hollow spheres would make the investigation of ZnxCd1-xS micro/nanostructures more interesting and intriguing.

文摘Co double layer film (CoDLF) consisting of a disk-array layer and an antidot-array layer, both with square order, was investigated. Both the reflectivity and Kerr spectra of CoDLF show anisotropic effects when the azimuthal angle of incident light changes. From the simulation result of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), we attribute the reflectivity minima and Kerr angle maxima in the spectra mainly to the excitation of different diffractional orders' SPPs. More interestingly, the Kerr angle changes sign at specific wavelengths. We attribute these phenomena to the excitation of SPPs and localized surface plasmons (LSPs), and the interaction between them.

文摘Oxygen vacancies (OVs) play a critical role in the physical properties and applications of titanium dioxide nanos- tructures, which are widely used in electrochemistry and photo catalysis nowadays. In this work, OVs were artificially introduced in the surface of a pure TiO2 single crystal by pulsed laser irradiation. Raman spectra showed that the intensity of Eg mode was enhanced. Theoretical calculations disclose that this was caused by the strong coupling effect between the phonon vibration and plasmon induced by the OVs-related surface deformation, and good agreement was achieved between the experiments and theory.

文摘Based on modification of the simplified coherent potential approximation,a model for the band-gap energy of In_(x)Ga_(y)Al_(1−x−y)N is developed.The parameters of the model are obtained by fitting the experimental band-gap energy of their ternary alloys.It is found that the results agree with the experimental values better than those reported by others,and that the band-gap reduction of In_(x)Ga_(y)Al_(1−x−y)N with increasing In or Ga content is mainly due to enhanced intraband coupling within the conduction band,and separately within the valence band.
