Surfactant-free hydrothermal synthesis of?submicron?BiFeO3?powders

Submicron BiFeO₃ powders were successfully synthesized via a simple hydrothermal process with the assistance of mineralizer (NaOH) at 150–190°C, using FeCl₃ and Bi(NO₃)₃⋅5H₂O as reactants. The effects of mineralizer concentration, reaction temperature and time on the phase evolution and crystal morphology of the resulting samples were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC), and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) were used to characterize the as-synthesized samples. The experimental results revealed that a pure BiFeO₃ phase could be formed at a temperature ranging from 170 to 190°C for 4–20 h in the presence of 0.03–0.12 M NaOH. It was found that the mineralizer concentration, reaction temperature and time played a key role in controlling the growing speed of nuclei and formation of BiFeO₃ crystallites. The possible formation mechanisms of submicron BiFeO₃ powders with different morphologies were presented. The magnetization of BiFeO₃ powders showed a weak ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature.

A subwavelength MIM waveguide resonator with an outer portion smooth bend structure

We systematically investigate bends in metal–insulator–metal (MIM) subwavelength plasmonic waveguides resonator, realized in a two-dimensional (2D) plasmon polariton metal using a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method with perfectly matched layers (PMLs) boundary conditions. We apply the outer portion of the bend structure in resonator which can lead to remarkably good bending transmission characteristics. We discuss the existence conditions of different modes which affect the device performance, and analyze coupling efficiency of the outer portion of the bend structure resonator in detail. Meanwhile, we find that the first dip of the outer portion smooth bend resonator nearly linear shifts toward longer wavelengths with the increase of the effective waveguiding length. In addition, add/drop directional couplers are realizable using the present resonator structure.     

Influence of substrate temperature on surface textured ZnO:Al films etched with NaOH solution

Transparent conducting Al-doped ZnO (ZnO:Al, AZO) thin films with good optical and electrical characteristics were prepared by direct current pulse magnetron sputtering. Textured surfaces of AZO films were obtained by etching with NaOH solution successfully and the effect of substrate temperature on the surface texture was investigated. The surface is covered with craters after etching with 5% NaOH solution, and the crater diameter decreases gradually as substrate temperature increases. For AZO film deposited at 270, the crater diameters is 0.5-1 μm, which is an effective surface texture for light trapping.

拉曼光谱可以提供分子的振动信息,对于聚合物分子链的构象和链间的相互作用非常敏感,能够提供聚合物固体、薄膜或溶液的物理化学特性信息,如聚合物的结构单元、空间构型、晶态结构、分子链的物理构象或分子链子链和侧基在界面间或在各向异性材料中的排列等链取向信息等。因此拉曼光谱作为一种原位无损检测技术,其衍生出的表面增强拉曼光谱技术(Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering,SERS)、变温拉曼光谱技术、共焦显微拉曼光谱技术(Confocal Raman Microscopy,CRM)、拉曼Mapping成像技术和共振拉曼散射技术(Resonance Raman scattering,RRS)等,广泛应用于物理、化学和生物医学等领域。本文从拉曼光谱的基本理论基础、拉曼光谱技术及其在聚合物研究中的最新应用进展等方面进行综述,以探索扩展拉曼光谱技术在高分子物理与化学领域中许多问题,如分子链的构象结构、分子链的结晶行为、分子链的扩散运动和共混体系相态结构变化等方面的应用。     

Coupling commutator pairs and integrable systems

According to classification of the matrix Lie algebras, a type of explicit Lie algebras are constructed which can be decomposed into a few Lie subalgebras. These subalgebras constitute several coupling commutator pairs from which some continuous multi-integrable couplings could be generated if the proper isospectral Lax pairs could be set up. Then the above Lie algebras are again decomposed into a kind of Lie algebras which are also closed under the matrix multiplication. From such the Lie algebras, some discrete multi-integrable couplings could be worked out. Finally, a few examples are given. However, the Hamiltonian structures of the (continuous and discrete) integrable couplings obtained by the above Lie algebras cannot be computed by using the trace identity or the quadratic-form identity, which is a strange and interesting problem. The phenomenon indicates that the importance of the Lie-algebra classification. The problem also needs us to try to find an efficient scheme to deal with.     

Determination of the swelling behavior of superabsorbent polymers by a tracer-assisted on-line spectroscopic measurement

This work reports on a method for the accurate determination of kinetic swelling behavior and properties of superabsorbent polymers by a tracer-assisted on-line spectroscopic measurement. Based on monitoring the spectral absorption of a tracer compound (blue dextran 2000) at 610 nm in a superabsorbent polymer containing solution, the swelling (water absorption) of the polymer during the process can be followed, from which the parameters in a kinetic equation can be obtained. The results showed that the data obtained by the present method has a good measurement precision and accuracy, in which the relative differences were less than 4.0% when comparing the data measured by a reference method (i.e., the tea bag method). Since the present method can perform an on-line measurement, it is much superior to the current tea bag method and therefore is very suitable to be used in the process related study for the swelling behavior of superabsorbent polymers in many applications.     

Adsorption of octanoic acid at the water/oil interface

Fats are widely present in a large variety of food and represent the main source of energy for the body. In the current study we investigate the behaviour of fatty acids at liquid–liquid interfaces, mimicking some steps of the very complex digestion process. Octanoic acid is used as an example of middle chain fatty acids. For the oil phase we choose sunflower oil as an industrial product and hexane as pure oil.The influence of the fatty acid concentration and the pH of the aqueous phase on the interfacial tension is determined by profile analyse tensiometry (PAT), which allows to examine the way of adsorption and transition of the fatty acids from one phase to the other. Predominantly, the pH affects the dissociation and thereby the strength of the hydrophilic character of the fatty acid. The adsorption behaviour indicates the different interfacial activity of the studied octanoic acid.     

The influence of the geometry of micro-patterned thin films on the effective permeability and resonance frequency by domains development

For the application in high-frequency micromagnetic devices, the permeability and resonance frequency of ferromagnetic components is of high interest. It is dominantly influenced by different factors, the external field and direction and the domain distribution, shape and orientation. By the use of micromagnetic simulation, the domain pattern in films was determined and the effective permeability was calculated. The results of the calculations were compared with the domain shape of patterned microstructures of thin FeCoTaN-films, which were deposited onto oxidised silicon substrates by reactive r.f.-magnetron sputtering by employing 6-in Fe₃₇Co₄₆Ta₁₇ targets. To achieve a high-frequency suitability, the films have to be annealed in a static magnetic field of 50 mT between 400 and 500 °C, which are typical temperatures used in CMOS processes, to induce an in-plane uniaxial anisotropy needed for the high-frequency performance. Magnetic softness was obtained by producing amorphous or nanocrystalline films, and additionally, by aspiring low magnetocrystalline anisotropies for, e.g., certain Fe/Co fractions. The unpatterned films with a lateral dimension of 5×5 mm² were measured in a strip line permeameter in a frequency range up to 5 GHz and exhibited ferromagnetic resonance frequencies between 2 and 2.5 GHz within a low-loss permeability spectrum (low width of imaginary part of permeability). For possible integrations in passive microelectronic components the films were patterned to a few tenths of micrometers by near ultra-violet lithography and plasma beam etching, and then consequently annealed to obtain the static and dynamic magnetic properties. To influence the amount of closure domains, designs were conceived to influence the domain formation by creating additional internal boundaries. As a result, the ferromagnetic resonance frequency and the effective permeability are strongly driven by internal and external boundaries.
