Synthesis and luminescence properties of nanocrystalline Gd2O3:Eu by combustion process

The nanocrystalline Gd₂O₃:Eu³⁺ powders with cubic phase were prepared by a combustion method in the presence of urea and glycol. The effects of the annealing temperature on the crystallization and luminescence properties were studied. The results of XRD show pure phase can be obtained, the average crystallite size could be calculated as 7, 8, 15, and 23 nm for the precursor and samples annealed at 600, 700 and 800 °C, respectively, which coincided with the results from TEM images. The emission intensity, host absorption and charge transfer band intensity increased with increasing the temperature. The slightly broad emission peak at 610 nm for smaller particles can be observed. The ratio of host absorption to O²⁻-Eu³⁺ charge transfer band of smaller nanoparticles is much stronger compared with that for larger nanoparticles, furthermore, the luminescence lifetimes of nanoparticles increased with increasing particles size. The effects of doping concentration of Eu³⁺ on luminescence lifetimes and intensities were also discussed. The samples exhibited a higher quenching concentration of Eu³⁺, and luminescence lifetimes of nanoparticles are related to annealing temperature of samples and the doping concentration of Eu³⁺ ions.     

Studies on aluminum powder combustion in detonation environment

The combustion mechanism of aluminum particles in a detonation environment characterized by high temperature (in unit 10³ K), high pressure (in unit GPa), and high-speed motion (in units km/s) was studied, and a combustion model of the aluminum particles in detonation environment was established. Based on this model, a combustion control equation for aluminum particles in detonation environment was obtained. It can be seen from the control equation that the burning time of aluminum particle is mainly affected by the particle size, system temperature, and diffusion coefficient. The calculation result shows that a higher system temperature, larger diffusion coefficient, and smaller particle size lead to a faster burn rate and shorter burning time for aluminum particles. After considering the particle size distribution characteristics of aluminum powder, the application of the combustion control equation was extended from single aluminum particles to nonuniform aluminum powder, and the calculated time corresponding to the peak burn rate of aluminum powder was in good agreement with the experimental electrical conductivity results. This equation can quantitatively describe the combustion behavior of aluminum powder in different detonation environments and provides technical means for quantitative calculation of the aluminum powder combustion process in detonation environment.     

Preparation of WO3 nanoparticles and application to NO2 sensor

WO₃ nanoparticles were prepared by evaporating tungsten filament under a low pressure of oxygen gas, namely, by a gas evaporation method. The crystal structure, morphology, and NO₂ gas sensing properties of WO₃ nanoparticles deposited under various oxygen pressures and annealed at different temperatures were investigated. The particles obtained were identified as monoclinic WO₃. The particle size increased with increasing oxygen pressure and with increasing annealing temperature. The sensitivity increased with decreasing particle size, irrespective of the oxygen pressure during deposition and annealing temperature. The highest sensitivity of 4700 to NO₂ at 1 ppm observed in this study was measured at a relatively low operating temperature of 50 °C; this sensitivity was observed for a sensor made of particles as small as 36 nm.

Structural evolution of sol-gel SiO2 heated glasses containing silver particles

SiO₂ based glasses added with nanometric-silver particles have been prepared by the traditional sol-gel process, using the tetraethyl-orthosilicate alkoxide. The Ag particles were prepared using a new method described in this article, the method uses a cementation reaction between Ag ions and an iron electrode. The size of the particles, measured in the dried glass, was in the range of 100-200 nm. The observed structural changes depend on the annealing conditions, such as the annealing temperature, the amount of silver particles and the type of acid (HCl or HNO₃) used to catalyze the hydrolysis/condensation reactions during the sol-gel process. Samples prepared using both acids crystallized into the cristobalite phase after thermal annealing at 800 °C. The amount of SiO₂ crystallized depends on the amount of Ag present in the glass. Samples prepared from solutions catalyzed with HCl acid show the formation of nanometric Ag particles after thermal annealing at 500 °C, these small particles are not observed after similar treatments when HNO₃ is used as the catalytic acid. HCl and Ag₂O form AgCl which is reduced by residual carbon to form Ag ultrafine particles. The diffusion of the reduced Ag spices, which form these particles, is facilitated by the opened structure of the glasses added with Ag, as indicated by IR measurements.     

Synthesis and characterization of Mn<Superscript>2+</Superscript>-doped ZnS nanoparticles

Mn²⁺-doped ZnS nanoparticles were prepared by chemical arrested precipitation method. The samples were heated at 300, 500, 700 and 900°C. The average particle size was determined from the X-ray line broadening. Samples were characterized by XRD, FTIR and UV. The composition was verified by EDAX spectrum. The hexagonal structure of the sample was identified. The size of the particles increased as the annealing temperature was increased. The crystallite size varied from 5 nm to 34 nm as the calcination temperature increased. At around 700°C, ZnS is converted into ZnO phase due to oxidation. The emission peak of the sample is observed at 300 nm resulting in blue emission. The solid state theory based on the delocalized electron and hole within the confined volume can explain the blue-shifted optical absorption spectra. UV-VIS spectro-photometric measurement shows an indirect allowed band gap of 3.65 eV.      

Effect of hydrogen on the structure of ultradisperse diamond

The paper reports on a study of the effect of annealing in hydrogen on the structural phase transition in clusters of ultradisperse diamond (UDD) obtained by the detonation method. The samples studied were of two types, namely, prepared by the “dry” and “wet” techniques, which differ in the cooling rate of the detonation products and, accordingly, in the structure of the diamond nanocluster shell. It is shown that, irrespective of the type of synthesis, the relative content of the diamond (sp3) phase increases within the anneal temperature range of 450 to 750°C, the increase being more pronounced in the samples prepared by “dry” synthesis. A model accounting for the observed structural transformation processes is discussed. A hypothesis of the possibility of compacting UDD clusters into bulk single crystals is put forward.     

Morphology modification of TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> nanotubes by controlling the starting material crystallite size for chemical synthesis

TiO₂ nanotubes (NTs) were prepared by low-temperature chemical synthesis using anatase TiO₂ particles with different crystallite sizes in a NaOH solution followed by water washing and HCl neutralization. The synthesized TiO₂ NTs showed diverse morphologies depending on the starting materials. The crystallite size of TiO₂ raw materials increased with an increase in annealing temperature, and larger TiO₂ NTs, around 31 nm in diameter, were obtained from large raw powder with a crystallite size of 117 nm. X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy revealed that the obtained TiO₂ NT exhibited lower crystallinity; however, Raman vibration seems to be more likely than a rutile structure.     

Preparation of Cr<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> nanoparticles for superthermites by the detonation of an explosive nanocomposite material

This article reports on the preparation of chromium(III) oxide nanoparticles by detonation. For this purpose, a high explosive—hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX)—has been solidified from a solution infiltrated into the macro- and mesoporosity of Cr₂O₃ powder obtained by the combustion of ammonium dichromate. The resulting Cr₂O₃/RDX nanocomposite material was embedded in a cylindrical charge of pure explosive and detonated in order to fragment the metallic oxide into nanoparticles. The resulting soot contains Cr₂O₃ nanoparticles, nanodiamonds, amorphous carbon species and inorganic particles resulting from the erosion by the blast of the detonation tank wall. The purification process consists in (i) removing the carbonaceous species by an oxidative treatment at 500 °C and (ii) dissolving the mineral particles by a chemical treatment with hydrofluoric acid. Contrary to what could be expected, the Cr₂O₃ particles formed during the detonation are twice larger than those of initial Cr₂O₃. The detonation causes the fragmentation of the porous oxide and the melting of resulting particles. Nanometric droplets of molten Cr₂O₃ are ejected and quenched by the water in which the charge is fired. Despite their larger size, the Cr₂O₃ nanoparticles prepared by detonation were found to be less aggregated than those of the initial oxide used as precursor. Finally, the Cr₂O₃ synthesized by detonation was used to prepare a superthermite with aluminium nanoparticles. This material possesses a lower sensitivity and a more regular combustion compared to the one made of initial Cr₂O₃.
