Scanning probe microscopy studies of PbS surfaces oxidized in air and etched in aqueous acid solutions

Natural n-type PbS single crystals have been studied using AFM, STM and STS after long-term oxidation in air at ambient temperatures and extensive etching in aqueous acid solutions, in contrast to previous work devoted to initial corrosion of fresh surfaces. The exposure of PbS to atmosphere at high relative humidity for several days yields widespread loose oxidation products; the process is much slower at low humidity. Surface morphologies diverge after the treatment in 1 M perchloric and hydrochloric acid solutions at room temperature and become widely different at elevated temperatures, displaying commonly etch pits up to several micrometers in size and depth along with rather uniformly distributed 20-100 nm protrusions of PbS phase. The changes both in topography and semiconducting properties of PbS found by tunneling spectroscopy have been explained in terms of the non-uniform distribution of donor- and acceptor-type defects D⁺/D⁻ in the metal depleted surface layer, which are generated by chemical reactions and, in turn, determine the rates of the PbS corrosion. In particular, the D⁻ centers exhibit a self-catalyzing effect on the non-oxidative local dissolution of PbS in HCl media, resulting in the deep etch pits.

Structure, reactivity, and application of some triketone derivatives

The major tautomer of several triketone derivatives in organic and aqueous solutions has been determined. Their solvent- and base-sensitive properties have been applied in the design of a polarity-sensitive fluorescent probe and an acidichromic colorant, respectively. The regioselective acetylation and methylation of 2-acyldimedone, 3-acyl-4-hydroxycoumarin, and 2-acyl-1,3-indandione have also been investigated. The results indicated that acetylation and methylation of the first two occurred specifically at endocyclic enolic oxygens, whereas for the latter they occurred at exocyclic enolic oxygen.

Study of nitrogen ion implantation and diffusion phenomena on thin chromium layers followed by the atomic force microscopy and secondary ion mass spectroscopy techniques characterization

This research investigates the effect of ion implantation dosage level and further thermal treatment on the physical characteristics of chromium coatings on Si(1 1 1) substrates. Chromium films had been exposed to nitrogen ion fluencies of 1 × 10¹⁷, 3 × 10¹⁷, 6 × 10¹⁷ and 10 × 10¹⁷ N⁺ cm⁻² with a 15 keV energy level. Obtained samples had been heat treated at 450 °C at a pressure of 2 × 10⁻² Torr in an argon atmosphere for 30 h. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) images showed significant increase in surface roughness as a result of nitrogen ion fluence increase. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) studies revealed a clear increased accumulation of Cr₂N phase near the surface as a result of higher N⁺ fluence. XRD patterns showed preferred growth of [0 0 2] and [1 1 1] planes of Cr₂N phase as a result of higher ion implantation fluence. These results had been explained based on the nucleation-growth of Cr₂N phase and nitrogen atoms diffusion history during the thermal treatment process.

Time-resolved fluorescence spectra of a bichromophoric molecule, 2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline in various media

Time-resolved fluorescence spectra of a title molecule (with benzene and aliphatic amine parts) in various media, after excitation by several lasers were observed to complement the previous work by conventional spectroscopy [N. Kanamaru, J. Tanaka, J. Phys. Chem. 95 (1991) 6441]. Though complex with many new features, the results were roughly consistent with the previous ones. The significant conclusions are as follows: (1) The emission to be ascribed to the amine (N) part, with more than one component (of nN and aN types) is observed not only for the acetonitrile solution (as previously reported) but also for all the other media. (2) Contrary to the case of a nonpolar hexane solution, both of N fluorescences in the other media reveal unusually long-lived decay components. This can be interpreted by assuming the so-called charge-transfer-to-solvent (CTTS) state that is nonfluorescent and lies just below the fluorescent state. (3) This observation in the protic media can also be taken as another evidence of the peculiar hydrogen bonding between this amine and the protic solvent molecules [N. Kanamaru, J. Tanaka, J. Phys. Chem. 95 (1991) 6441]. (4) Thus, the unexpectedly large quantum yields of N fluorescences in the polar media are now interpreted as arising due to the slow S₁^N→(CTTS)→S₀ internal conversions.
