One-dimensional GdVO4:Ln (Ln=Eu, Dy, Sm) nanofibers: Electrospinning preparation and luminescence properties

One-dimensional GdVO₄:Ln³⁺ (Ln=Eu, Dy, Sm) nanofibers have been prepared by a combination method of sol-gel process and electrospinning technology. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), photoluminescence (PL), quantum efficiency (QE), and cathodoluminescence (CL) spectra as well as kinetic decays were used to characterize the samples. The XRD, FT-IR, and TG-DTA results show that GdVO₄:Ln³⁺ nanofibers samples crystallize at 700 °C. SEM images indicate that the as prepared precursor fibers are smooth. After being calcined at 700 °C for 4 h, the fibers still maintain their fiberlike morphology with rough surface. TEM image further manifests that the GdVO₄:Ln³⁺ nanofibers consist of nanoparticles. Under ultraviolet excitation and low-voltage electron beam excitation, GdVO₄:Ln³⁺ phosphors showed their strong characteristic emission due to an efficient energy transfer from vanadate groups to dopants. The optimum doping concentration of Ln³⁺ in the GdVO₄ nanofibers also has been investigated.     

First principles investigation on the key factors of broad absorption spectra and electronic properties for oligothiophene and its derivatives for solar cells

On the basis of optimized structures of two kinds thiophene oligomers, we investigated the configuration and conformation dependent optical and electronic properties of α or β substituted oligothiophene (PT) and oligo(thienylenevinylene) (PTV) isomers, respectively, at the TD‐DFT/6‐31+G(d,p)//PBE0/6‐31G(d) level. The corresponding properties of polymers were predicted by extrapolation method. The broad absorption regions for polythiophene and/or poly(thienylenevinylene) can be ascribed to the coexistence of various conformational and/or configurational isomers with similar energies and each corresponding excited state possessing different absorption spectrum and overlapping each other. Furthermore, the reorganization energies for electron (λ_e) and hole (λ_h) of α or β substituted PTV and PT indicate them to be potential ambipolar charge transport materials under the proper operating conditions. Therefore, these results are important because they can provide a rational way for the design of multifunctional materials with broad absorption and ambipolar charge transport properties for solar cells devices. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and characterizations of novel spindle-like terphenyl-type chromophores for non-linear optical materials

A series of novel spindle-like terphenyl-type chromophores, based on 2,5-diphenyl-1,4-distyrylbenzene π-conjugating bridge, N,N-dimethyl and triphenyl amino donors, and Tricyanovinyldihydrofuran(TCF), 1,3,3-trimethyl-5-dicyanovinyl-1-cyclohexene (TDC) acceptors, have been synthesized successfully for the first time. And the non-linear optical properties were evaluated by using the finite-field (FF) method. The results show that, the first-order hyperpolarizability of the chromophores increase with the increase of the withdraw ability of the substituent group on the π-conjugating bridge.

Hydrothermal synthesis of core-shell structured PS@GdPO<Subscript>4</Subscript>:Tb<Superscript>3+</Superscript>/Ce<Superscript>3+</Superscript> spherical particles and their luminescence properties

Non-aggregated spherical polystyrene (PS) particles were coated with GdPO₄:Tb³⁺/Ce³⁺ phosphor layers by a conventional hydrothermal synthesis using poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) as an additive without further annealing treatment. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), photoluminescence (PL), as well as luminescence decay experiments were used to characterise the resulting core-shell structured PS@GdPO₄:Tb³⁺/Ce³⁺ samples. The results of XRD indicated that the PS particles were successfully coated with the GdPO₄:Tb³⁺/Ce³⁺ phosphor layers, which could be further verified by the images of FESEM. Under ultraviolet excitation, the PS@GdPO₄:Tb³⁺/Ce³⁺ phosphors show Tb³⁺ characteristic emission, i.e. ⁵D₄-⁷F_J (J = {6, 5, 4, 3}) emission lines with green emission ⁵D₄-⁷F₅ (543 nm) as the most prominent group. The core-shell phosphors so obtained have potential applications in field emission display (FED) and plasma display panels (PDP).     

In situ immobilizing of gold nanoparticles onto the surface of alumina particles

In this work, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were attached to the surface of alumina particles by an in situ immobilizing method. This modified colloidal deposition method allowed the immobilization of AuNPs with a much greater loading amount compared to the conventional one.
