Enhancement of electronic excitation energy transfer in the colloidal crystals of colloidal silica suspensions doped with fluorescent dyes

The efficiency of electronic excitation energy transfer from photo-excited rhodamine 110 (Rh110, energy donor) to rhodamine B (RhB, energy acceptor) in an exhaustively deionized colloidal silica suspension has been studied. This colloidal suspension shows Bragg reflection due to the formation of colloidal crystals and the Bragg-peak wavelength is controllable by the volume fraction of the silica spheres. When the Bragg-peak wavelength matches with the fluorescence band of Rh110, a depletion was observed in the Rh110 fluorescence spectrum. This means the fluorescence of Rh110 is partially trapped due to the Bragg reflection inside the crystal lattice. In the coexistence of RhB, the enhancement of RhB fluorescence intensity was observed. These facts clearly indicate the trapped photon energy of Rh110 is efficiently transferred to RhB within the colloidal crystals. The quantitative measurements showed that the enhancement of the transfer efficiency is 20% (or slightly more) in the present experimental conditions.

Synthesis, Structure and Optical Properties of Cerium(Ⅲ) Triphosphate CeP3O9

The single crystal and crystallized powder of triphosphate CeP3O9 have been synthesized, and the space group of CeP3O9 has been determined to be C2221 with the cell parameters ofa = 8.6059, b = 11.2437, c = 7.3518 (A), V= 711.4(3) (A)3, Z= 4, Dc = 3.520 g/cm3, F(000) = 700,R = 0.0377 and wR = 0.0930. The absorption and emission spectra have been measured, for which the strongest absorption and emission peaks are located at 280 and 320 nm, respectively. The density of state (DOS) and dielectric function have been calculated by the DFT method. The crystal is transparent provided the wavelength is larger than 341 nm, and the observed ultraviolet cut-off edge is at about 350 nm for a polycrystalline power sample. It is possible that the triphosphate CeP3O9 will become an ultraviolet emission material.     

Synthetic diamond electrodes: Photoelectrochemical behavior of vacuum-annealed undoped polycrystalline diamond films

The photocurrent and photopotential for undoped polycrystalline diamond film electrodes prepared by chemical vapor deposition and annealed in vacuum at 1500–1640°C are measured. The metal-like samples (annealed at 1630°C) have a negligible photosensitivity. Judging from the positive sign of the photopotential and the cathodic direction of the photocurrent, the material under study formally behaves as a p-type semiconductor. The photoeffects are presumably caused by structure defects, in particular, the dislocations in diamond crystallites formed close to intercrystalline boundaries during the high-temperature annealing.Translated from Elektrokhimiya, Vol. 41, No. 3, 2005, pp. 343–349.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Pleskov, Krotova, Ralchenko, Khomich, Khmelnitskii.     

Ab initio studies on vibrational spectra of XSO2NCO (X = F,Cl): harmonic force fields and frequency assignments

The harmonic vibrational force fields and the IR spectrum of XSO₂NCO (X= F, C1) molecules have been studied usingab initio HF/SCF method with the 6-31G’ basis set. Theab initio harmonic force fields are scaled empirically using the scaled quantum mechanical (SQM) method of Pulay. A set of scale factors are optimized by the least-squares fitting to the experimental frequencies of FSO₂NCO and then are transferred to CISO₂NCO to give ana priori prediction of its fundamental frequencies. The average deviations between the theoretical frequencies and the experimental values for FSO₂NCO and C1SO₂NCO are 3 and 5 cm^-1, respectively. The assignments of the fundamentals for these two molecules are also made atcording to the potential energy distributions and theab initio IR intensities Project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 29673029)

Raman and IR spectra (4000-50 cm^–1) of solid cyclopentadienyl zirconium and hafnium hydrides Cp₂MH₂, Cp₂MD₂, Cp₂Zr(H)X, and Cp₂Zr(D)X (Cp = ⁵-C₅H₅; M = Zr, Hf; X = Cl, Br) have been studied. The vibrational modes of MH groups, Cp-rings, and metal-ligand bonds are discussed and the band assignments are proposed. In the solid state, these complexes form polymers with linear hydride bridges of the M-H-M type. The force constants of the M-H and M-Cp bonds increase on going from Zr to Hf.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 1604–1609, September, 1994.

Voltage-Height Spectroscopy in the <Emphasis Type="Italic">Ex Situ</Emphasis> Configuration of a Scanning Tunneling Microscope

Basic regularities of electrochemical processes in the gap of an ex situ scanning tunneling microscope in conditions of condensation of air moisture at the sample surface are considered on a qualitative level. A layer of condensed moisture is viewed as an electrolyte in a two-electrode cell. The depolarizers present in this layer may experience electrochemical conversions on the tip and in an area of the sample surface near the tip. As a result, the recorded “tunneling” current includes electrochemical constituents. Depending on the electrochemical processes in the gap, various dependences of the tip-sample distance on the current and applied voltage can be expected. For preliminary diagnostics of processes in the gap it is suggested to use voltage-height spectra, whose shape and characteristic heights are sensitive to the nature and location of redox active species. Experimental data for various films on conducting supports (quasi-two-dimensional adsorbed layers of hemin and peroxidase, electrodeposited nonstoichiometric tungsten oxides, doped tin dioxide, solid electrolyte with ionic conduction) are presented as an examples.__________Translated from Elektrokhimiya, Vol. 41, No. 5, 2005, pp. 583–595.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Yusipovich, Vassiliev.
