Interaction between B-Doped C60 Fullerene and Glycine Amino Acid from First-Principles Simulation

The possibility of formation of complexes between glycine and boron doped C60 （C59B） fullerene is investigated and compared with that of C60 fullerene by using the density functional theory calculations. It has been found that the binding of glycine to C59B generated the most stable complexes via its carbonyl oxygen active site, with a binding energy of-37.89 kcal/mol, while the glycine molecule prefers to bind to the pure C60 cage via its amino nitrogen active site, consistent with the recent experimental and theoretical studies. We have also tested the stability of the most stable Gly-C59B complex with ab initio molecular dynamics simulation, carried out at room temperature. These indicate that the B-doped C60 fullerenes seem to be more suitable materials for bindings to proteins than pure C60 fullerenes.     

Electron Scattering by C4H10 and C6H6 in the Energy Range 100--1000eV

We investigate the applicability of the independent atom model （IAM） to elastic electron scattering from complex polyatomic molecules, namely C4H10 and C6H6, in the energy range 100-1000eV. The cross sections of the elastic electron scattering are calculated by employing the IAM together with the relativistic partial waves. The incorporation of both the modified absorption potential and the extended structural factor in the IAM makes the elastic differential cross sections and momentum transfer cross sections have a good agreement with the available experimental data. The present simple model seems to be insensitive to the complexity of the target molecules so that the proposed procedure can be quite useful for calculation of electron scattering from bio-molecules.     

Synthesis of C26 Crystallite Polyethylene by C2+ Ion Bombardment

A new form solid Carbon has been synthesized consisting of a hexagonal close packing of a26 molecules under energetic C₂₆ ion 2.4 MeV bombardment of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene. The beam current was about 150 mA and the total dose was 1×10¹⁶ ions cm^－2. The residual gas pressure in the irradiation chamber was 1.3×10^－4Pa during bombardment High-resolu-tion transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction, and time-of-flight mass spectroscopy studies of the molecular packing confirm that the C₂₆ molecules have the Caged fullerene structure.     

Electronic Transport in Molecular Junction Based on C20 Cages

Choosing closed-ended armchair （5, 5） single-wall carbon nanotubes （CCNTs） as electrodes, we investigate the electron transport properties across an all-carbon molecular junction consisting of C20 molecules suspended between two semi-infinite carbon nanotubes. It is shown that the conductances are quite sensitive to the number of C20 molecules between electrodes for both configuration CF1 and double-bonded models： the conductances of C20 dimers are markedly smaller than those of monomers. The physics is that incident electrons easily pass the C20 molecules and are predominantly scattered at the C20-C20 junctions. Moreover, we study the doping effect of such molecular junction by doping nitrogen atoms substitutionally. The bonding property of the molecular junction with configuration CF1 has been analysed by calculating the Mulliken atomic charges. Our results have revealed that the C atoms in N-doped junctions are more ionic than those in pure-carbon ones, leading to the fact that N-doped junctions have relatively large conductance.     

X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Reflection High Energy Electron Diffraction of Epitaxial Growth SiC on Si（100） Using C60 and Si

The formation of silicon carbide upon deposition of C60 and Si on Si（100） surface at 850^o C is studied via x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and reflection high energy electron diffraction （RHEED）. The C ls, O ls and Si 2p core-level spectra and the RHEED patterns indicate the formation of 3C-SiC.     

Irradiation Effect in C60 Films Induced By Low Energy Ions

Irradiation effecs, mainly including transformation from crystalline into amorphous state, of C₆₀, films induced by 120keV H, Ar and Fe ions irradiation were analysed by means of Raman scattering technique. The results indicate that amorphization process in the cases of Ar and Fe ions irradiation is dominated by nuclear collision, but in the case of H ion irradiation, the process is dominated by electronic energy transfer. The annealing effect of electronic energy loss which induced the intermediate graphitization process before amorphization in lower irradiation dose ranging from 2×10¹⁴ ions/cm² to 5×10¹⁶ ions/cm² was found in the case of H ion irradiation for the first bine.     

Chemical Synthesis of C3N and BC2N Compounds

A chemical reaction for the preparation of B-C-N compounds by using carbon tetrachloride （CC14）, boron tribromide （BBr3）, lithium nitride （Li3N） and sodium as reactants has been carried out at the temperature of 400℃. Measurements of FTIR, XRD, TEM and EELS show that two kinds of compounds have been formed in the prepared sample. One is hollow sphere-like C-N with an amorphous, structure; the other is piece-like polycrystalline B-C-N with the hexagonal structure. Their determined compositions are close to C3N and BC2N, respectively.     

INELASTIC SCATTERING OF THERMAL NEUTRONS BY METAL HYDRIDES ZrH1.66 AND TiH1.92

Inelastic scattered neutron spectra of metal hydrides ZrH_1.66 and TiH_1.92 have been measured by beryllium filter detector spectrometer and their phonon spectra have been deduced from the neutron spectra according to the A. Sjölander formula by iterative method. The optical branches of the two samples thus obtained are approximately Gaussian distributions and their positions are in agreement with other works, while their PWHM are smaller than the value uncorrected for multiphonons effect reported elsewhere. Their acoustic branches obtained are of neither Debye nor Gaussian type but show a double-numped configurations. Some new configurations have been observed between the optical and acoustic branches which may be attributed to localized modes as a result of disorder.

In comparison of the composite devices with different TiO2：[MEH-PPV ＋C60] weight ratios of lw$.% （D1-1）, 2wt.% （D1-2）, 3wt.% （D1-3）, 5wt.% （D1-4）, 10wt.% （D1-5） and 20wt.% （D1-6）, it is found that the device Dl-a exhibits the best performance. The conversion efficiency is improved by a factor of 3 compared with the MEH-PPV：C60 device.     

Structural and electrical properties of La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 films on SrTiO3 and porous a-Al2O3 substrates

Films of La_0.5Sr_0.5CoO₃ (LSCO) have been deposited on specially treated TiO₂-terminated (001) SrTiO₃ substrate surfaces and on macroporous polycrystalline !-Al₂O₃ substrates, having a mean pore diameter of 80 nm, by pulsed laser deposition. The films deposited on SrTiO₃ are good conducting, (001) textured, and exceptionally smooth (1-2 Å for 100 nm thick films). LSCO films deposited on porous !-Al₂O₃ are polycrystalline and exhibit good crystallographic and electrical properties despite the large substrate roughness and the differences in lattice parameters and crystal structure between the film and the substrate. Different growth modes have been observed on the porous !-Al₂O₃ substrates depending on the oxygen pressure during film deposition. Films grown at an oxygen pressure of 10^-1 mbar are macroporous, whereas films grown at 10^-2 mbar completely cover the substrate pores. In the latter case, strain effects lead to film cracking.     

Properties of a New Nonlinear Optical Crystal CdZn2B2O6

Cadmium dizinc diborate （CdZn2B2O6） single crystals have been grown for the first time. The crystal structure of CdZn2B2O6 is the same as that of the Cd3Zn3B4O12. The x-ray diffraction, infrared and Raman spectra, differential scanning calorimetry analysis and density indicate that the physical and chemical properties of both crystals are very similar. Especially, the nonlinear optical coefficients of CdZn2B2O6 and Cd3Zn3B4O12 crystals are 2.6 and 2.4 times as large as that of KH2PO4 crystal respectively. Chemical etching experiments indicated that these crystals are very stable in neutral solution and not hygroscopic in air at room temperature.

Enhanced Magnetoresistance of （La0.67Ca0.33MnO3） Composites Coated by Zn0.95Co0.05O

La0.7Ca0.3MnO3：xZn0.95Co0.05O （x=0.0,0.05, 0.1, 0.15mol） composites are prepared by a sol-gel process. X- ray diffraction and energy diffraction spectroscopy reveal that there is no evidence of a reaction between the La0.7 Ca0.3 MnO3 （LCMO） and Zn0.95Co0.05 O （ZCO）. Magnetization M, Curie temperature Tc and metal-insulator transition temperatures Tp are observed to decrease with increasing ZCO content. Compared with x = 0.0, a great enhancement in the magnetoresistance （MR） is observed at around Tc for x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15. Based on the tunneling MR and percolation models, this great change of MR is well explained.     

Raman and X-Ray Investigation of Pyrope Garnet （Mg0.76Fe0.14Ca0.10）3Al2Si3O12 under High Pressure

The compressional behavlour of natural pyrope garnet is investigated by using angle-dlspersive synchrotron radiation x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy in a diamond anvil cell at room temperature. The pressureinduced phase transition does not occur under given pressure. The equation of state of pyrope garnet is determined under pressure up to 25.3 GPa. The bulk modulus KTO is 199 GPa, with its first pressure derivative K′TO fixed to 4. The Raman spectra of pyrope garnet are studied. A new Raman peak nearly at 743 cm^-1 is observed in a bending vibration of the SiO4 tetrahedra frequency range at pressure of about 28 GPa. We suggest that the new Raman peak results from the lattice distortion of the SiO4 tetrahedra. All the Raman frequencies continuously increase with the increasing pressure. The average pressure derivative of the high frequency modes （650-1000 cm^-1） is larger than that of the low frequency （smaller than 650 cm^-1）. Based on these data, the mode Grǖneisen parameters for pyrope are obtained.

Laser Molecular Beam Epitaxy of Multilayer Heterostructure SrNb0.05Ti0.95O3/La0.9Sr0.1MnO3 in 10000 Unit-Cell Layers

Ten thousands of unit-cell multilayer heterosturctures, [SrNb0.05 Ti0.95O3/La0.9 Sr0.1MnO3]3 （SNTO/LSMO）, have been epitaxial grown on SrTiO3 （001） substrates by laser molecular beam epitaxy. The monitor of insitu. reflection high-energy electron diffraction demonstrates that the heterosturctures are layer-by-layer epitaxial growth. Atomic force microscope observation indicates that the surface of the heterosturcture is atomically smooth. The measurements of cross-sectional low magnification and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy as well as the corresponding selected area electron diffraction reveal that the interfaces are of perfect orientation, and the epitaxial crystalline structure shows the orientation relation of SNTO（001）//LSMO（001）, and SNTO[100]//LSMO[100].
