Optical coefficients of Hg1 − x − y Cd x Eu y Se crystals

Optical properties of Hg_{1 ? x ? y} Cd _x Eu _y Se crystals grown by the Bridgman method have been investigated based on the independent reflectance and transmittance measurements, which were performed on a Nicolet 6700 spectrometer at T = 300 K in the wavelength range 0.9 ≤ λ ≤ 26.6 μm. The values of refractive index n, absorption index k, and absorption coefficient α have been determined for the crystals studied. Based on the dependences α = f(hν), the presence of direct allowed interband optical transitions in the crystals is established and the band-gap values are determined. The influence of temperature on the transmittance and band gap are investigated in the range T = 114–300 K.

Luminescence Properties of Dual Valence Eu Doped Nano-crystalline BaF2 Embedded Glass-ceramics and Observation of Eu2+ → Eu3+ Energy Transfer

Europium doped glass-ceramics containing BaF₂ nano-crystals have been prepared by using the controlled crystallization of melt-quenched glasses. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy have confirmed the presence of cubic BaF₂ nano-crystalline phase in glass matrix in the ceramized samples. Incorporation of rare earth ions into the formed crystalline phase having low phonon energy of 346 cm⁻¹ has been demonstrated from the emission spectra of Eu³⁺ ions showing the transitions from upper excitation states ⁵D_J (J = 1, 2, and 3) to ground states for the glass-ceramics samples. The presence of divalent europium ions in glass and glass-ceramics samples is confirmed from the dominant blue emission corresponding to its 5d-4f transition under an excitation of 300 nm. Increase in the reduction of trivalent europium (Eu³⁺) ions to divalent (Eu²⁺) with the extent of ceramization is explained by charge compensation model based on substitution defect mechanisms. Further, the phenomenon of energy transfer from Eu²⁺ to Eu³⁺ ion by radiative trapping or re-absorption is evidenced which increases with the degree of ceramization. For the first time, the reduction of Eu³⁺ to Eu²⁺ under normal air atmospheric condition has been observed in a BaF₂ containing oxyfluoride glass-ceramics system.

Local structure and electrochemistry of LiNi y Mn y Co1 − 2y O2 electrode materials for Li-ion batteries

A series of LiNi _x Mn _y Co _z O₂ (x = y, z = 1 − 2y) oxides have been synthesized by “chimie douce” and investigated as positive electrodes in rechargeable lithium batteries. Layered LiNi _y Mn _y Co_1 − 2y O₂ materials with high homogeneity and crystallinity were synthesized using the wet-chemical method assisted by carboxylic acid as the polymeric agent. The long range and local structural properties are investigated with experiments including X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. The evolution of the structure is discussed as a function of the cobalt content that confers layer-like behavior on the framework. Electrochemical performance of LiNi _y Mn _y Co_1 − 2y O₂ oxides is tested in cells using nonaqueous 1 M LiPF₆ dissolved in ethylene carbonate–diethyl carbonate. Charge–discharge profiles are investigated as a function of the rate capability and the voltage window. A relation is found between the gravimetric capacity and the cation disorder of the positive electrode as indicated by structural analysis. Fast lithium extraction attributed to the larger interslab space has been observed in the cobalt-rich oxides.

Magnetic Parameters of Hg1–x Mn x Se1–y S y and Hg1–x Mn x Te1–y S y Crystals

The magnetic susceptibility of Hg_1–x Mn _x Se_1–y S _y and Hg_1–x Mn _x Te_1–y S _y crystals is investigated by the Faraday method at H = 3 kOe in the temperature interval T = 77–300 K. It is established that the specific features of are due to Mn–S–Mn–S, Mn–Se–Mn–Se, and Mn–Te–Mn–Te clusters and mixed Mn–Se–Mn–S and Mn–Te–Mn–S clusters of different sizes in which the indirect exchange antiferromagnetic interaction between Mn atoms is realized through chalcogen atoms. Based on the dependences 1/_Mn = f(T), the magnetic parameters are determined and their dependences on the crystal composition (x and y) are established.     

Incomplete magnetic ordering in Fe2(1−y)Mg1+y Ti y O4 spinels with intermediate compositiony

Static magnetization measurements on the ferrimagnetic spinels Fe_2(1?y)Mg_1+y Ti _y O₄ withy=0.3, 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6 show that these compounds have no well-defined orderdisorder transition temperature and that their ferrimagnetism may not be described in terms of the Néel theory. From the Mössbauer spectra we conclude that a temperature dependent number of the ferric ions does not participate in the ferrimagnetism of those compounds with compositiony≧0.4. The explanation of the observed magnetic and Mössbauer properties is based on the assumption that each ferric ion must have at least two magnetic linkages of the type Fe _A ³⁺ ?O^2??Fe _B ³⁺ in order to couple its magnetic moment to the neighbouring ones over the entire temperature interval between 0 K and the respective Néel temperature.     

Luminescence of Eu2+–vc− dipoles and their associates in CsI:Eu crystals

Spectral-kinetics properties of photo-scintillation excited with single light pulses of a nitrogen laser (λ=337.1 nm, t_1/2=5 ns, Q=1 mJ) have been studied in CsI:Eu crystals at temperature within 80–300 K. It is found that the exponential decay of 463 nm emission band has a time constant which grows from 0.85 μs at 78 K to 1.6 μs at 380 K. Such an anomalous temperature behavior of 463 nm emission decay kinetics is discussed in terms of the crystal thermal expansion. It has been proposed that 463 nm emission is caused by a cluster center consisting of three dipoles Eu²⁺v_c^? bounded with each other in a hexagon. Owing to the exchange resonance in the cluster, the energy passes from an excited dipole to a non-excited one and the distance between them gets longer due to thermal expansion of the crystal.

Martensitic transformation in La1−x Yb x Ag1−y In y

The structural phase transformation of La_1–x Yb _x Ag_1–y In _y has been studied on single crystals by low temperature Laue-technique. The martensitic transformation in this pseudobinary intermetallic alloy has to be characterized as a weak orthorhtombic distortion of a single I centered unit cell (c/a1.04;a/b1.006) and a collective slipping or twinning of these cells that gives a fixed orientation between the remaining cubic room temperature structure and the martensitic phase. Above room temperature exists an order-disorder transformation from the CsCl-B2 structure to an at room temperature metastable W-A2 structure. There is no dramatic change in the physical properties of this alloy by substituting La by Yb, so we may approximate our results to LaAg_1–y In _y .This paper is dedicated to Prof. Dr. S. Methfessel on the occasion of his 60^th birthday     

Growth and Characterization of CdSe1 − y S y Nanofilms Obtained by Chemical Bath Deposition

In this work, the growth and characterization of cadmium selenide sulphur (CdSe_1???y S _y ) deposited by chemical bath deposition (CBD) technique at the reservoir temperature of 20?±?2 °C are presented, varying the thiourea volume added to the growth solution in the range of 0–30 ml. The films chemical stoichiometry was determined by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and Raman scattering reveal that CdSe_1???y S _y -deposited films showed hexagonal wurtzite crystalline phase. The average size of the crystalline grain in relation to the sulphur volume varies in the range of 1.48–9.2 nm that was determined by using the Debye-Scherrer equation for the direction (100), which is confirmed by analyzing the grain average diameter by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Raman scattering shows that the lattice dynamics is characteristic of bimodal behaviour and the multipeak adjust of the first optical longitudinal mode for the CdSeS denotes, in all cases, the Raman shift of the characteristic peak in the range of 177–181 cm^?1 of the CdSe crystals associated with the sulphur incorporation. CdSe_1???y S _y band gap energy can be varied from 1.86 to 2.11 eV by varying the thiourea volume added in the growth solution measured by transmittance at room temperature.     

Electron paramagnetic resonance of Gd3+ ions in Ca1 − x − y Y x Gd y F2 + x + y crystals

Electron paramagnetic resonance of Ca_{1 ? x ? y} Y _x Gd _y F_{2 + x + y} single crystals has revealed spectra that are not typical of gadolinium-doped CaF₂ crystals. These spectra have a nearly tetragonal symmetry and are most probably caused by Gd³⁺ ions localized in yttrium clusters. Weak spectra of tetragonal Gd³⁺ centers, whose parameters are close to those of a cubic gadolinium center caused by an isolated Gd³⁺ ion, have been also detected. These centers are attributed to isolated Gd³⁺ ions localized near octahedral rare-earth clusters or their associations.
