La、Ce掺杂ZnO纳米晶的发光特性

RF溅射钕掺杂ZnO薄膜的结构与发光特性

通过射频磁控溅射技术在Si(111)衬底上制备了未掺杂ZnO薄膜和Nd掺杂ZnO薄膜。应用XRD分析了ZnO:Nd薄膜的晶格结构,通过AFM观察了ZnO:Nd薄膜的表面形貌。结果表明,Nd掺入了ZnO晶格中,由于Nd原子半径大于Zn原子半径,Nd以替位原子的形式存在于ZnO晶格中。ZnO:Nd薄膜为纳米多晶薄膜,表面形貌粗糙。ZnO:Nd薄膜的室温光致发光谱表明,相同条件下制备的未掺杂ZnO薄膜和Nd掺杂ZnO薄膜都出现了395nm的强紫光带和495nm的弱绿光带。我们认为,紫光发射峰窄而锐且强度远大于绿光峰,源于薄膜中激子复合;绿光峰强度较弱,源于薄膜中的氧空位(VO)及氧反位锌缺陷(OZn)。Nd掺杂没有影响ZnO:Nd薄膜的PL谱的发射峰的峰位。由于Nd3 离子电荷数与Zn2 离子电荷数不相等,为了保持ZnO薄膜的电中性,间隙锌(VZn)可以作为Nd替位补偿性的受主杂质而存在,影响ZnO薄膜的激子浓度。同时,Nd掺入使ZnO的晶格畸变缺陷浓度改变增强,因而发射峰的强度随Nd掺杂浓度不同而变化。     

Na-Mg共掺杂ZnO薄膜的结构和光学性质

利用溶胶-凝胶法,在普通载玻片上使用旋转涂膜技术制备了具有c轴择优取向生长的Na-Mg共掺杂的ZnO薄膜。用XRD、SEM、光致发光(PL)及透射光谱对薄膜样品进行了表征。结果表明:Na-Mg共掺杂有利于ZnO薄膜的c轴择优取向生长,并且随着Na+掺杂浓度的增加,晶粒尺寸先增大后减小;通过比较不同掺杂浓度ZnO薄膜的PL谱,推测发光峰值位于380nm的紫外发射与ZnO的自由激子复合有关;发现掺入Mg的确能使ZnO禁带宽度增大,掺杂组分为Na0.04Mg0.2Zn0.76O时,其PL谱只有一个很强的紫光发射峰,其近带边紫外光发射强度较未掺杂的ZnO增强了近10倍,极大地提高了薄膜紫外发光性能;并且随Na+浓度增加薄膜透光性减弱。

采用水热法制备了掺杂Ce3+的LaF3的纳米粒子,分别用X射线粉末衍射(XRD)和荧光光谱(PL)对样品的结构和性质进行了表征.XRD的结果表明:LaF3∶Ce3+纳米晶标准卡为JCPDS 73-2192,且颗粒平均尺寸为18.7nm,掺入Ce3+杂质后晶格结构没有变化.荧光光谱结果表明:Ce3+呈现其宽带发射,激发峰在245nm处,发射峰在444nm处,随着Ce3+的摩尔浓度比的增加,样品的荧光强度先增大后减小,且Ce3+的掺杂量为4％(摩尔比)时,纳米粒子的荧光强度最强,但更高的掺杂浓度将导致荧光猝灭.

Synthesis of Na-doped ZnO nanowires and their photocatalytic properties

Na-doped ZnO nanowires with an average diameter of ∼40 nm have been fabricated by a thermal decomposition route at temperature around 400 °C. Their properties have been investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), UV-visible spectroscopy, Raman spectra, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Room temperature photoluminescence (RT-PL) showed that the as-synthesized ZnO samples exhibited strong visible emission with a major peak at 420 nm. Furthermore, intensity of the visible emission increased and then decreased with increase in Na concentration. The improvement of visible emission at 420 nm in the Na-doped ZnO samples should be a result of the surface defects increased by doping of Na in zinc oxide. In addition, photocatalytic studies indicated that these nanomaterials showed good photocatalytic performance for organic pollutants in water.     

Magneto-optical properties of α-Fe2O3@ZnO nanocomposites prepared by the high energy ball-milling technique

Magnetic–fluorescent nanocomposites (NCs) with 10 wt% of α-Fe₂O₃ in ZnO have been prepared by the high energy ball-milling. The crystallite sizes of α-Fe₂O₃ and ZnO in the NCs are found to vary from 65 nm to 20 nm and 47 nm to 15 nm respectively as milling time is increased from 2 to 30 h. XRD analysis confirms presence of α-Fe₂O₃ and ZnO in pure form in all the NCs. UV–vis study of the NCs shows a continuous blue-shift of the absorption peak and a steady increase of band gap of ZnO with increasing milling duration that are assigned to decreasing particle size of ZnO in the NCs. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the NCs reveal three weak emission bands in the visible region at 421, 445 and 485 nm along with the strong near band edge emission at 391 nm. These weak emission bands are attributed to different defect – related energy levels e.g. Zn-vacancy, Zn interstitial and oxygen vacancy. Dc and ac magnetization measurements show presence of weakly interacting superparamagnetic (SPM) α-Fe₂O₃ particles in the NCs. ⁵⁷Fe-Mössbauer study confirms presence of SPM hematite in the sample milled for 30 h. Positron annihilation lifetime measurements indicate presence of cation vacancies in ZnO nanostructures confirming results of PL studies.

Green luminescent ZnO:Cu<Superscript>2+</Superscript> nanoparticles for their applications in white-light generation from UV LEDs

Copper doped ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by a chemical technique based on a hydrothermal method. The crystallite sizes, estimated by XRD and TEM/SEM for different doping percentage of Cu²⁺ (1–10%), were found to be in the range of ~10–15 nm. TEM/SEM images showed formation of uniform nanorods, the aspect ratio of which varied with doping percentage. Photoluminescence (PL) measurement showed strong green visible emission and PL intensity was found enhanced with increase in doping percentage. The increase in the PL intensity was mainly due to Cu incorporation in ZnO lattice. Currently, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) giving ultraviolet emission have been combined with broad-band visible green phosphors to make white-light LEDs. Thus, green luminescent ZnO:Cu²⁺ nanoparticles are seen as necessary and condemnatory constituent for white-light generation from UV LEDs, underlying the importance of the current work.     

Ni掺杂ZnO薄膜的结构与光学特性研究

Photoluminescence study of pure and Li-doped ZnO thin films grown by sol-gel technique

The effect of annealing atmosphere, temperature and aging on the photoluminescence of pure and Li-doped ZnO thin films has been investigated. Annealing the pure ZnO in N₂ and He above 800 °C results in green emission centered at ca. 500 nm; however annealing in air red-shifts the green emission to 527 nm. The visible emission of the Li-doped ZnO is found to be largely dependent on the annealing atmosphere. Warm-white photoluminescence with a broad emission band covering nearly the whole visible spectrum is obtained for the Li-doped ZnO films annealed in helium. The substitutional and interstitial extrinsic point defects created by lithium doping may mediate the relative concentration of the intrinsic defects and thereby tune the intrinsic-defect-related visible emission. The enhanced intensity ratio of near-band-edge ultraviolet emission to deep-level visible emission with aging time may be ascribed to both in-diffusion of oxygen from air and self-diffusion of oxygen interstitials to heal the oxygen vacancies during the aging process.     

Ag掺杂氧化锌纳米材料的制备及高压相变拉曼光谱研究

宽禁带直接带隙半导体材料氧化锌（ZnO）,具有优异的光电性能、机械性能和化学特性。ZnO材料的结构对其性能影响较大,元素掺杂可改变ZnO晶体结构和带隙宽度,是提升ZnO材料性能的有效手段,当前常用Ag掺杂ZnO即为提高光催化反应效率。高压独立于温度、成分,是调控材料结构组织性能的重要手段,是产生新材料、发现新调控原理的重要因素。该研究通过对比纯ZnO晶体和Ag掺杂ZnO晶体的高压相变行为,揭示了元素掺杂对ZnO纳米晶体材料结构性能的影响。研究首先采用水热法辅助制备纯ZnO纳米微球和Ag掺杂ZnO纳米微球（1∶150Ag/ZnO）,表征结果显示水热法合成的纯ZnO和1∶150Ag/ZnO均为六角纤锌矿晶体结构,形貌均为几十纳米尺寸小颗粒堆积形成的微球,ZnO晶格常数随着Ag离子掺杂而变大,Ag掺杂导致ZnO晶格膨胀。随后应用金刚石压腔结合原位拉曼光谱技术测定了纯ZnO和Ag掺杂ZnO的高压结构相变行为。相比于纯ZnO拉曼峰,Ag掺杂ZnO的E₂（high）振动模式439 cm-1拉曼峰峰宽变窄,并呈现向低频方向移动的趋势,与无定形ZnO谱峰相近,表明Ag+取代Zn2+影响了Zn-O键,同时也影响了ZnO晶格结构的长程有序性。随体系压力增大,表征六角纤锌矿结构ZnO的拉曼特征峰439 cm-1出现瞬间弱化和宽化。压力增大至9.0 GPa时,纤锌矿结构ZnO拉曼特征峰439 cm-1消失,585 cm-1处出现新峰,ZnO晶体发生由六角纤锌矿向岩盐矿的结构转变。压力继续增大至11.5 GPa,新的拉曼峰显著增强,峰形变窄,同时向高波数方向移动,相变完成,岩盐矿结构ZnO性能稳定。1∶150 Ag/ZnO从六角纤锌矿结构到立方岩盐结构的相变压力为7.2 GPa,低于纯ZnO。相变压力降低表明晶体结构稳定性下降,可能的原因在于掺杂Ag导致ZnO晶格膨胀,晶体结构松弛,两相相对体积变化增加,从而导致相变势垒降低,使样品在较低压力下发生相变。纳米材料的高压研究揭示了元素掺杂对材料结构稳定性的影响,是纳米材料调控原理的潜在研究手段。     

Mg2+、Zn2+掺杂CaWO4∶Eu3+荧光粉的发光性质

采用微波加热固相法合成了Mg2+、Zn2+掺杂CaWO4∶Eu3+荧光粉。利用XRD对样品的晶体结构进行表征,通过荧光分光光度仪对样品的激发光谱、发射光谱和能级寿命进行检测和分析。结果表明,Mg2+、Zn2+、Eu3+掺杂CaWO4不影响CaWO4基质的四方晶相。395nm激发下,与CaWO4∶2%Eu3+样品比较,分别掺杂0.5%的Mg2+或Zn2+的样品发光强度提高了1.3倍和2.1倍;与3%Mg2+或3%Zn2+掺杂CaWO4∶2%Eu3粉体发光比较,当Eu3+浓度增加为3%时,粉体的发光强度分别提高了7.3倍和14.8倍;与CaWO4∶3%Eu3+样品比较,3%的Mg2+或Zn2+掺杂后的样品光强分别提高了1.2倍和1.3倍。262nm比395nm激发同一样品的Eu3+的5D0能级寿命有所增加。与单掺2%Eu3+样品比较,随着Mg2+或Zn2+掺杂浓度增加,样品荧光寿命先增加后减小。同样激发波长下,与Mg2+或Zn2+掺杂CaWO4∶2%Eu3+样品荧光寿命相比,Eu3+浓度增加为3%时,样品的荧光寿命明显变短。     

Dopant induced morphology changes in ZnO nanocrystals

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocrystals doped with different groups of impurities, e.g., Li, Na, Cu, Pr and Mg synthesized by solid-state reaction method under similar conditions exhibit different morphology. XRD showed monophasic wurtzite structure but change in lattice parameters and Zn-O bond length indicates incorporation of dopant ion in ZnO lattice. The morphology of ZnO nanocrystals exhibited striking dependence on type of dopant ion with the shape changing from nanorods, spherical to petal like particles. Photoluminescence (PL) shows pronounced UV emission and negligible visible emission for Li, Na and Cu doped ZnO nanocrystals with peak positions coinciding with that of undoped ZnO. Whereas signature emission of Pr³⁺ ion as well as broad visible emission from Mg doped ZnO revealed the role of intra gap metastable states formed by the dopant ion in the emission process.     

Ni掺杂对ZnO磁光性能的影响

在掺杂浓度范围为2.78%—6.25%(物质的量分数)时,Ni掺杂ZnO体系吸收光谱分布的实验结果存在争议,目前仍然没有合理的理论解释.为了解决存在的争议,在电子自旋极化状态下,采用密度泛函理论框架下的第一性原理平面波超软赝势方法,构建不同Ni掺杂量的ZnO超胞模型,分别对模型进行几何结构优化和能量计算.结果表明,Ni掺杂量越大,形成能越高,掺杂越难,体系稳定性越低,掺杂体系带隙越窄,吸收光谱红移越显著.采用LDA(局域密度近似)+U方法调整带隙.结果表明,掺杂体系的铁磁性居里温度能够达到室温以上,磁矩来源于p-d态杂化电子交换作用.Ni掺杂量越高,掺杂体系的磁矩越小.另外还发现Ni原子在ZnO中间隙掺杂时,掺杂体系在紫外光和可见光区的吸收光谱发生蓝移现象.
