Formation of amorphous Mn-Bi films and their crystallization process

Mn-Bi alloy films were prepared by simultaneous vacuum deposition at liquid N₂ temperature and their structures were investigated by transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction. Films with compositions in the range of 34 to 63 at% Mn have the Bi lattice structure at room temperature. Films with composition in the range of 68 to 95 at% Mn show diffuse haloes at room temperature. When they are heated above room temperature, those in the range of 70 to 85 at% Mn show nucleation and grain growth crystallization, whereas the films of 68 and 95 at% Mn show only grain growth crystallization. The films in the range of 70 to 85 at% Mn are concluded to be amorphous at low and at room temperature. Some of the crystals obtained by nucleation and the grain growth crystallization grow as large as 10 μm in length. Their diffraction patterns are not ascribable to reported crystals in this alloy system.     

Optical imaging of the growth kinetics and polar morphology of zinc tris(thiourea) sulphate single crystals

Growth kinetics of zinc tris(thiourea) sulphate (ZTS) single crystals was imaged in two different growth geometries using laser shadowgraphy technique. Growth rates of the {010} and {001} faces were computed as a function of supersaturation. The time evolution of polar morphology of ZTS crystal based on the growth rates is presented. Except (00 ) face, all the other three faces are found to have a dead zone resulting in large induction period of growth. The anisotropy in the growth rates of the (001) and (00 ) faces was very high, resulting in polar morphology. Different chemical environments on two sides of the (001) slice are suggested as the possible cause for the polar morphology of the crystals. (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Magnetization and structural studies of Mn doped ZnO nanoparticles: Prepared by reverse micelle method

Single phase Mn (2.5 at%) doped ZnO nanocrystalline samples were synthesized by reverse micelle method as characterized by Rietveld refinement analysis of X-ray diffraction data, high resolution transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction analyses. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies indicated that manganese exist as Mn²⁺ in ZnO lattice. DC magnetization measurements as a function of field and temperature, of 2.5 at% Mn doped ZnO nanoparticles annealed at 675 K, showed room temperature ferromagnetism (RTF). This observation is further confirmed by the EPR spectrum of the sample, which shows a distinct ferromagnetic resonance signal at room temperature. These results indicate that the observed RTF in Mn-doped ZnO may be attributed to the substitutional incorporation of Mn at Zn sites.     

Effect of flux composition on the morphology of KTiOPO<Subscript>4</Subscript> crystals

KTiOPO₄ crystals have been grown from flux of K₆P₄O₁₃ in the presence of K₂SO₄, Li₂SO₄, and Na₂SO₄ salts and V, Cr, Ni, Co, Cu, Mo, Ba, Ce, Er, and W impurities. The crystals grown are characterized by well-developed simple {100}, {011}, and {201} faces. In some cases, new ({111} and (031)) faces arise. Some distortion of crystals caused by their pulling in the [101] direction is observed.     

负离子配位多面体生长基元和晶体形貌

本文运用负离子配位多面体生长基元理论模型讨论了负离子配位多面体在异质同构和同质异构晶体中的结晶方位和其形态之间的关系,发现晶体的生长习性与负离子配位多面体在不同面族上相互联结的稳定性密切相关.负离子配位多面体以顶角相联最稳定,以边相连次之,以面相连最不稳定.同时,本文用负离子配位多面体生长基元理论模型对极性晶体ZnO和ZnS的生长习性也做了一定的解释.     

Effect of the seed crystallographic orientation on AlN bulk crystal growth by PVT method

The growth of AlN crystals by PVT method was investigated using TaC crucible in the temperature range of 2250‐2350 °C. AlN boules with 30 mm in diameter were successfully grown on the crucible lid by self‐seeded growth. The AlN boules consist of the spontaneously nucleated AlN single crystal grains with the {1010} natural crystalline face. The fast growth rate of more than 1 mm/h was achieved. AlN crystals grown on (11 0)‐, (10 0)‐, and (0001)‐face AlN seeds were investigated. Different experimental phenomena have been observed under particular condition. The crystal grown on (11 0)‐face seed has different natural crystalline face from the seed. For the crystal grown on (10 0) or (0001) seed, the crystal natural crystalline face is same as the crystallographic orientation of the seed. (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
