Electronic and vibrational spectra of tourmaline – The impact of electron beam irradiation and heat treatment

Irradiation and heat treatment were performed on tourmalines of various colors from Antandrokomby, Madagascar. The samples were irradiated with 10 MeV electrons to fluencies of 2 ×10¹⁷ cm⁻² for 1 h and were heated at 550 °C for 3 h in air. Their electronic and vibrational spectra were investigated by UV–vis, mid-infrared, and WD-XRF spectroscopy for comparison to pristine samples. Changes in the Mn³⁺ ions after irradiation resulted in darker pink tourmalines, which had absorption peaks at 390 and 520 nm. These samples became colorless after subsequent heat treatment. After irradiation, colorless, light blue and yellow tourmalines displayed a new absorption band at 365 nm. Alteration of the stretching absorption bands and wavenumber after irradiation could be explained by the following reactions:OH⁻ + e⁻ beam irradiation → O⁻ + H°,Mn²⁺ + e⁻ beam irradiation → Mn³⁺ + e⁻ andFe²⁺ + e⁻ beam irradiation → Fe³⁺ + e⁻.Stretching vibration of the BO₃ structure occurred at 1330 cm⁻¹, while the SiO vibration absorption bands were assigned to around 1100 cm⁻¹. Colorless, green, and yellow tourmalines showed high-intensity peaks around 3608 and 3505 cm⁻¹ after irradiation. Pink and dark green tourmalines showed low-intensity peaks at 3605 and 3585 cm⁻¹, respectively. The combination modes of stretching and bending in the range of 4600–4300 cm⁻¹ were split after irradiation and heat treatment, and different color changes occurred after irradiation.

Nanoscale imaging of oxidized copper foil covered with chemical vapor deposition-grown graphene layers

Characterization of the geometrical and structural characteristics of oxidized Cu area in high resolution is crucial for tracking the change in morphology, exploring interactions between graphene layers and Cu substrates and revealing the mechanism for the orientation-dependent oxidation of Cu. Here, we reported experimental results on nanoscale imaging of natural oxidation of the polycrystalline Cu substrate coated by partial-coverage chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-grown graphene stored in dryer under ambient conditions for up to 10 months. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), together with atomic force microscope (AFM), Raman, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), was used for systematically studying the morphological and compositional changes at nanoscale during oxidation. The appearance of oxidized Cu substrates could be unambiguously distinguished from the unoxidized regions based on their distinctly different morphologies in SEM images, and the underlying mechanism was discussed in detail. By analyzing a millimeter-seized polycrystalline Cu substrate, we found that the oxidation of polycrystalline Cu substrate depends sensitively on both orientation of graphene layers and Cu substrates. Furthermore, the time-dependent oxidation evolution of Cu substrate was also established, and the oxidation rate was readily determined. The findings reported here will have important implications for developing protection coatings for Cu.

The metallic C6S monolayer with high specific capacity for K-ion batteries

K-ion batteries (KIBs) attract considerable attention due to the abundance of K, high-working voltages, and chemical similarity with Li, enabling the utilization of mature Li-ion technology. However, shortage of high-performance anode materials is a critical obstacle for the development of KIBs. Through first-principles swarm-intelligence structural search, we identify a potential anode material, the C₆S monolayer, which provides not only a remarkably high specific capacity of 1546 mAh/g but also a low diffusion barrier of 0.11 eV and a low open-circuit voltage of 0.21 V. Inherent metallicity originates from delocalized π electrons.
