Pressure dependence of plasma parameters in medium-vacuum nitrogenarc discharge with the titanium cathode

The plasma properties of a medium-vacuum nitrogen arc discharge from a titanium cathode were studied. The arc chamber use was 400 mm in diameter and 600 mm in length. The cathode diameter and thickness were 64 and 25 mm, respectively. The experimental conditions are given as follows: pressure range=1×10^-3~2×10^-1 torr; N₂ gas flow rate=6 ml/min; arc current=50 A. Electric probe characteristics are measured as a function of pressure and distance from the cathode surface. The analytical results obtained show that the electron energy distribution takes 1-Mx at pressures above 1×10^-2 torr but 2-Mx at pressures under 4×10^-2 torr and that the electron density has a maximum value at a certain pressure. The Ti⁺, Ti⁺⁺, and N ⁺₂ ion spectral intensities are measured as a function of pressure and distance from the cathode surface. On comparison of these results and the electron density, the Ti⁺ spectral intensity turns out to be proportional to that of the electron density. This suggests that the major ion in the plasma volume is of the Ti⁺ species     

Crystal-Field Levels,Local Lattice Geometry and Electronic Properties of Titanium-Doped Chrysoberyl

The lasing action of titanium-doped chrysoberyl crystal (Ti:BeAl₂04) is related to the crystal-field levels of Ti³⁺ ions at the mirror sites, for which two kinds of energy-level diagrams were suggested under different local symmetries. To ascertain which one is reasonabk, first-principle calculations are performed on the energy levels of Ti³⁺ ions with four cluster models. The study supports the energy-level.diagram suggested by Sugimoto et al. under C, symmetry, but disfavors that proposed by Chiba et al. under D_2h symmetry. Moreover, the results indicate that the impurity will introduce some local lattice distortion within Cs symmetry and a reasonable distorted geometrical configuration of cluster (TiO₆)^9- is proposed, with which experimental data can be satisfactorily explained and for which various electronic properties are further presented.     

Active species in microwave postdischarge for steel-surfacenitriding

Production of nitrogen atoms has been studied in a 2.45-GHz flowing postdischarge in N₂ and N₂-H₂ gas mixtures with Ar as a buffer gas in the high-pressure regime (5×10³ to 6.5×10⁴ Pa). N atom densities have been measured by NO titration in the 10¹⁴-10 ¹⁵ cm³ range and monitored by the first positive emission resulting from the N atom recombination. The rate coefficient of the N+N+N₂ recombination has been found to be _k=6×10^-33 cm⁶ atom^-2 s ^-1 at T₀=300 K, which agrees with previously published data. The N atom production (or degree of N/N₂ dissociation) in front of an Fe-0.1%C substrate correlates well with the thickness of a γ' Fe₄N layer produced by the postdischarge treatment. The H₂ gas was first introduced in the initial phase of treatment to remove surface oxidizing and then was cut off to keep high densities of N atoms. It is deduced that N atoms are more active nitriding species than NH-type radicals     

Study of strong interaction between Pt and TiO2 under oxidizing atmosphere

The strong interaction between Pt and TiO₂ under oxidizing atmosphere was studied by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Ar⁺ sputtering test. The results obtained show that under oxidizing atmosphere Pt⁰ atoms can thermally diffuse into TiO₂ lattice and be oxidized to Pt²⁺ to substitute for Ti⁴⁺ or form the interstitial ions at 673 K.

Vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy of Pr in CaAl4O7, LaMgAl11O19 and SrLaAlO4

The vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy of Pr³⁺ doped CaAl₄O₇, LaMgAl₁₁O₁₉ and SrLaAlO₄ is reported. It appears that whenever the aluminate host lattice is excited directly, mainly exciton and 4f²–4f² [³P₀] Pr³⁺ emission are observed. When the excitation energy is lower, Pr³⁺ ions are excited selectively and 4f5d–4f² emission dominates. These observations can be explained by assuming that energy transfer from the host lattice to the Pr³⁺ ion takes place preferentially via an intermediate exciton state with an energy too low to reach the energetic Pr³⁺ 4f5d excited states.     

Complete identification of the Ti-related levels in GaP

A complete understanding of the electrical and optical properties of all the Ti-related levels is deduced from a number of different characterization techniques performed on several types of Ti-doped GaP materials (n-type, p-type and semi-insulating) grown by LEC. The Ti³⁺ /Ti⁴⁺ donor level and the Ti²⁺ /Ti³⁺ acceptor level are found at E_v + 0.92 and about E_c - 0.56 eV, respectively. Likewise, a comprehensive scheme of the two internal transitions ³T₂→³A₂ of the Ti²⁺ charge state and ²T₂→²E of the Ti³⁺ charge state is given.     

Efficiently enhanced energy storage performance of Ba2Bi4Ti5O18 film by co-doping Fe3+ and Ta5+ ion with larger radius

We present an efficient strategy, that is the co-substitution of Fe³⁺ and Ta⁵⁺ ions with large radius for Ti⁴⁺ ion, to enhance energy storage performance of Ba₂Bi₄Ti₅O₁₈ film. For the films co-doped with Fe³⁺ and Ta⁵⁺ ions, the maximum polarization under the same external electric field is improved because the radius of Fe³⁺ and Ta⁵⁺ ions is larger than that of Ti⁴⁺ ion. Moreover, due to the composition and chemical disorder, the relaxor properties are also slightly improved, which can not be achieved by the film doped with Fe³⁺ ions only. What is more, for the films doped with Fe³⁺ ion only, the leakage current density increases greatly due to the charge imbalance, resulting in a significant decrease in breakdown strength. It is worth mentioning that the breakdown strength of Fe³⁺ and Ta⁵⁺ ions co-doped film does not decrease due to the charge balance. Another important point is the recoverable energy storage density of the films co-doped with Fe³⁺ and Ta⁵⁺ ions has been greatly improved based on the fact that the maximum external electric field does not decrease and the maximum polarization under the same external electric field increases. On top of that, the hysteresis of the polarization has also been improved. Finally, the co-doped films with Fe³⁺ and Ta⁵⁺ ions have good frequency and temperature stability.     

N2流量对N掺杂MgZnO薄膜结构和性能的影响

Creation of variable concentrations of defects on TiO2(110) using low-density electron beams

Low density (˜μA/cm²) 0.48 and 1.0 keV electron beams have been used to create surface defects on a TiO₂(110) surface. These electron-beam induced defects were examined primarily by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) with supporting ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS). Glancing and normal emission XPS spectra of nearly defect-free surfaces revealed that Ti atoms on the surface were similar to the bulk Ti, while some surface oxygen atoms were different from the bulk oxygen. XPS of Ti 2p_3/2 was used to quantify the defect concentration and to examine the defect electronic structure. Based on our calculation of defect concentrations and the comparison of our results with results and models from the literature, we conclude that oxygen vacancies induced by electron beams in the current study are mostly from the bridging oxygen sites, in agreement with the previous work. A range of defect concentrations with similar electronic structure, mainly composed of Ti³⁺, have been induced by low-density electron beams. Beam energy and exposure were the experimental variables. The rates of defect formation at low beam exposure were beam-energy dependent, with a faster growth rate at 0.48 keV than at 1.0 keV. These defects were similar to those by thermal annealing in vacuum, but a higher concentration of defects could be obtained with longer beam exposure. However, the e-beam induced defects were different from those produced by Ar⁺ ion bombardment since both this and previous studies have found defects produced by Ar⁺ ion bombardment to be complex, with a variety of different local environments where oxygen and titanium surface atoms coexist.     

Comparison of electrical discharge techniques for nonthermal plasmaprocessing of NO in N2

This paper presents a comparative assessment of three types of electrical discharge reactors: 1) pulsed corona, 2) dielectric-barrier discharge, and 3) dielectric-pellet bed reactor. The emphasis is on the efficiency for electron-impact dissociation of N₂(e+N₂ →e+N+N) and the subsequent chemical reduction of NO by nitrogen atoms (N+NO→N₂+O). By measuring the concentration of NO as a function of input energy density in dilute mixtures of NO in N₂, it is possible to determine the specific energy cost for the dissociation of N₂. Our experimental results show that the specific energy consumption (eV per NO molecule reduced) of different types of electrical discharge reactors are all similar. These results imply that, during radical production in electrical discharge reactors, the electric field experienced by the plasma is space-charge shielded to approximately the same value. The specific energy consumption for the dissociation of N₂ using electrical discharge processing is measured to be around 240 eV per nitrogen atom produced. In the NO-N₂ mixture, this corresponds to a specific energy consumption of around 240 eV per NO molecule reduced     

Towards the preparation of realistic model Ziegler-Natta catalysts: XPS study of the MgCl2/TiCl4 interaction with flat SiO2/Si(1 0 0)

Despite of the wide use of supported Ti based Ziegler-Natta catalysts in the olefin polymerization industry, questions concerning the role of each one of the catalyst components in the polymerization process, have not found a satisfactory answer yet. This is mainly because of the high sensitivity of these systems to oxygen and atmospheric moisture that makes their study in an atomic level rather complicated. Realistic surface science models of the pre-activated SiO₂ supported MgCl₂/TiCl₄ and TiCl₄ Ziegler-Natta catalysts were prepared by spin coating on flat conductive SiO₂/Si(1 0 0) supports under inert atmosphere. This preparation technique resembles the wet chemical impregnation which is the industrial method of the catalyst preparation. XPS analysis showed that the catalyst precursor anchors on the silica surface through bonding of the Ti atoms with surface silanes or siloxanes, while Mg is attached to the Ti through chlorine bridges. Thermal treatment of the catalysts at 723 K leads to total Cl desorption when MgCl₂ is not present while a significant amount of the Ti atoms is reduced to the Ti³⁺ state.

Superficial defects induced by argon and oxygen bombardments on (110) TiO2 surfaces

Compositional and chemical changes of titanium dioxide monocrystalline surfaces induced by bombardment with 4 keV argon and oxygen ions have been studied by AES, XPS and AFM. Argon ion bombardment induced strong changes in the composition and chemical state of the surface: loss of oxygen due to preferential sputtering occurred, and, related to this, Ti⁴⁺ species were reduced to Ti³⁺ and Ti²⁺. During oxygen bombardment, competition between preferential sputtering of oxygen ions of the oxide surface and oxygen implantation was observed. This phenomenon was found to be strongly dependent upon the incidence angle of the oxygen ions. Moreover, an oxygen bombardment with normal incidence of the surface that had been previously submitted to an argon ion bombardment led to a restoichiometrization of the surface: no further Ti³⁺ or Ti²⁺ was found by XPS, only Ti⁴⁺.

Oxygen ion conductivity of yttria-niobia mixed oxide with fluoride related structure

The oxygen ion conductivity of Y₂O₃---Nb₂O₅ with a fluorite-like structure was studied. Substitutional solid solutions of Nb₂ O₅ in Y₂O₃ lattice formed the defect fluorite phase and remarkably enhanced the oxygen ion conductivity. Doping with tetravalent cations, especially Ti⁴⁺ or Ce⁴⁺, in yttria-niobia oxide is effective in enhancing the oxygen ion conductivity. Although the n-type semiconducting property appeared below P_O2 = 10⁻¹⁸ atm at 1243 K, the yttria-niobia mixed oxide doped with Ce⁴⁺, Ti⁴⁺, and Zr⁴⁺ stably exhibited oxygen-ion conduction in the wide range of oxygen partial pressures studied.     

Magnetic and microstructural properties of the Ti-doped Barium hexaferrite

A study of the magnetic and microstructural properties of the M-type Ti⁴⁺-doped Barium hexaferrite according to the stoichiometric formulation BaFe_{(12−(4/3)x)}Ti_xO₁₉ with x=0, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0, has been reported. The XRD and magnetic analysis show a variation of the host lattice parameters and a decrease in the values of remnant magnetization and magnetic anisotropy with Ti⁴⁺ content. The behavior of magnetic properties of materials is explained by the combined effect of the coherent rotation of the magnetic domains and the replacements of Fe³⁺ by Ti⁴⁺ ions in the octahedral and tetrahedral sites.
