Role of chelating agent in chemical and fluorescent properties of SnO2 nanoparticles

A modified polyacrylamide gel route is applied to synthesize SnO2 nanoparticles. High-quality SnO2 nanoparticles with a uniform size are prepared using different chelating agents. The average particle size of the samples is found to depend on the choice of the chelating agent. The photoluminescence spectrum detected at λex = 230 nm shows a new peak located at 740 nm due to the surface defect level distributed at the nanoparticle boundaries.     

Coulomb‐enhanced spin–orbit coupling and semiconductor to half‐metal transition under pressure in Sr2CrReO6

Ordered Sr₂CrReO₆ has been synthesized recently. It is measured to be ferrimagnetic semiconductor, in contrary to the previous reports of metallic properties. To solve the discrepancy, we have investigated the compound by using the density functional theory. The semiconducting behavior is reproduced by including the electron correlation and spin–orbit coupling simultaneously. The calculated band gap is 0.22 eV, close to the experimental value of 0.21 eV. A large orbital moment of 0.69µ_B is found for Re, which is caused by the Coulomb‐enhanced spin–orbit coupling. By applying pressure, a semiconductor to half‐metal transition is observed through 5% volume compression.

设x∶M→S⁽ⁿ⁺¹⁾是(n+1)-维单位球面上不含脐点的超曲面.在S(n+1)是(n+1)-维单位球面上不含脐点的超曲面.在S⁽ⁿ⁺¹⁾的Mbius变换群下浸入x的四个基本不变量是:Mbius度量g;Mbius第二基本形式B;Mbius形式φ和Blaschke张量A.对称的(0,2)张量D=A+λB也是Mbius不变量,其中λ是常数.D称为浸入x的仿Blaschke张量,仿Blaschke张量的特征值称为浸入x的仿Blaschke特征值.如果φ=0,对某常数λ,仿Blaschke特征值为常数,那么超曲面x∶M→S(n+1)的Mbius变换群下浸入x的四个基本不变量是:Mbius度量g;Mbius第二基本形式B;Mbius形式φ和Blaschke张量A.对称的(0,2)张量D=A+λB也是Mbius不变量,其中λ是常数.D称为浸入x的仿Blaschke张量,仿Blaschke张量的特征值称为浸入x的仿Blaschke特征值.如果φ=0,对某常数λ,仿Blaschke特征值为常数,那么超曲面x∶M→S⁽ⁿ⁺¹⁾称为仿Blaschke等参超曲面.本文对具有三个互异仿Blaschke特征值(其中有一个重数为1)的仿Blaschke等参超曲面进行了分类.     

A Niobium Oxyiodate Sulfate with a Strong Second‐Harmonic‐Generation Response Built by Rational Multi‐Component Design

A novel niobium oxyiodate sulfate, Nb₂O₃(IO₃)₂ (SO₄), was fabricated by a rational multi‐component design under moderate hydrothermal conditions. This multi‐component design is inspired by an interesting niobium oxysulfate reaction, which opens a new door for synthetic method to effectively introduce refractory metals such as Nb into crystal structures by hydrothermal synthesis. Nb₂O₃(IO₃)₂(SO₄) features a cube‐like topological structure with a large phase‐matching second harmonic generation (SHG) response (6×KDP), a wide transparency window (0.38–8 μm), and a high laser damage threshold (LDT) (20×AgGaS₂). It has the highest thermostability (stable up to 580 °C under air) among reported non‐centrosymmetric (NCS) iodates and sulfates and is stable in water and even concentrated H₂SO₄. Furthermore, Nb₂O₃(IO₃)₂(SO₄) is a unique nonlinear optical (NLO) material among iodates and sulfates, because its SHG effect is mainly caused by the MO₆ units rather than the IO₃ or SO₄ units, which is demonstrated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

采用飞行时间质谱计测量了纳秒激光诱导C60分子碎裂中轻碎片离子C n(n≤11)的初始平均动能,结果显示轻碎片离子具有相同的初始平均动能(约为0.34 eV),并且该动能在一定范围内不随激光通量的变化而明显改变.结合前人的实验结果,对纳秒激光诱导C60分子碎裂中轻碎片离子C n(n<30)的主要产生模式作了新的阐述,即C60分子级联发射15个C2分子和一个电子形成自身不稳定的C 30离子,在皮秒时间尺度内C 30离子的笼形结构塌陷,进而轻碎片离子产生.     

A novel silane coupling agent with peroxy groups used as an initiator in the graft polymerization of AN or MMA on nano-TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>

A novel peroxy group-containing silane coupling agent was synthesized and anchored on the surface of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nano-TiO₂) to form an immobilized-initiator-modified nano-TiO₂ species. In this study, the kinetic parameters of the peroxy group-containing silane were tested and assessed using DSC. The pre-exponential factor (A_d) was 8.973?×?10⁸ and the activation energy (E_a) was 80.736 kJ mol^?1. Moreover, the empirical Arrhenius equation was determined to be ln K_d?=???80.736/RT?+?ln(8.973?×?10⁸). To obtain continuous polymers, acrylonitrile (AN) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) were polymerized using the novel peroxy group-containing silane and FeSO₄ as an initiator system. The number average molecular weights (M_n of PAN?=?3×10⁴ and M_n of PMMA?=?1.4?×?10⁵) and polydispersity indexes (PDI of PAN?=?2.76 and PDI of PMMA?=?1.65) were determined by GPC. It was suggested that the redox initiation system can generate highly reactive species on the surfaces of inorganic nanoparticles. The nano-TiO₂-grafted polymers were successfully obtained.     

大气丙酮碳同位素组成测定方法的研究

利用气相色谱/燃烧/同位素比值质谱(GC/C/IRMS)分析技术,研究了具有不同碳同位素组成的丙酮与衍生剂2,4-二硝基苯肼(DNPH)的液相反应及其相应的气相反应实验过程中的碳同位素效应,探讨了以该方法测定大气丙酮碳同位素组成的可行性。研究结果表明,在衍生化过程中不会产生碳同位素分馏。本实验通过测定衍生剂DNPH与相应的衍生物的碳同位素值,大气中丙酮碳同位素组成通过质量平衡方程计算而求得。采用该方法对大气丙酮碳同位素组成的初步测定结果表明,具有相同排放源的大气丙酮碳同位素比值基本不变。本方法实验重现性好,测定精度高,可以用于分析大气丙酮的排放源研究。
