Relationship between the spatial position of the seed and growth mode for single-crystal diamond grown with an enclosed-type holder

The relationship between the spatial position of the diamond seed and growth mode is investigated with an enclosed-type holder for single-crystal diamond growth using the microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition epitaxial method. The results demonstrate that there are three main regions by varying the spatial position of the seed. Due to the plasma concentration occurring at the seed edge, a larger depth is beneficial to transfer the plasma to the holder surface and suppress the polycrystalline diamond rim around the seed edge. However, the plasma density at the edge decreases drastically when the depth is too large, resulting in the growth of a vicinal grain plane and the reduction of surface area. By adopting an appropriate spatial location, the size of single-crystal diamond can be increased from 7 mm × 7 mm × 0.35 mm to 8.6 mm × 8.6 mm × 2.8 mm without the polycrystalline diamond rim.     

High-Pressure Phase Transition in Cyclo-octane

Structural behaviour of cyclo-octane under high pressure is studied by using a synchrotron x-ray source in a diamond anvil cell （DAC） up to 40.2 GPa at room temperature. The cyclo-octane firstly solidifies to the triclinic phase at 0.87 GPa. With the increasing pressure, the phase of cyclo-octane changes to the tetragonal phase at about 6.0 GPa and then transforms to amorphous phase above 18.2 GPa, which is kept till to 40.2 GPa. All the phase transitions of cyclo-octane are irreversible.

High Thermoelectric Properties of PbTe Doped with Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3

The composition-dependent thermoelectric properties of lead telluride (PbTe) doped with bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3), antimony telluride (Sb2Te3) and (BiSb)2Te3 have been studied at room temperature. All the sampies exhibit small thermal conductivity. The figures of merit, 7.63, 1.03 and 8.97 x 10-4, have been obtained in PbTe with these dopants, respectively. These values are several times higher than those of PbTe containing other dopants with small grain sizes. The high thermoelectric performance is explained by electronic topological transition induced by alloying. The results indicate that these dopants are effective to enhance the thermoelectric performance of PbTe.     

Effects of High Pressure on BC3

High-pressure phases of BC3 are studied within the local density approximation under the density functional theory framework. When the pressure reaches 20 GPa, the layered BC3 that is a semiconductor at ambient pressure, becomes metallic. As the pressure increases, the material changes into a network structure at about 35 GPa. To understand the mechanism of phase transitions, band structure and density of states are discussed. With the increase of pressure, the width of bands broadens and the dispersion of bands enlarges. Additionally, the density of states of the network bears great resemblance to that of diamond. Formation of the sp3 bonding in the network is the main reason for the structural transformation at 35 GPa.     

Effects of high pressure on the Raman and fluorescence emission spectra of two novel 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives

The effects of pressure on the fluorescence emission and Raman spectra of 1,4-bis[（4-methyloxyphenyl）-1,3,4-oxadiazolyl]- 2,5-bisheptyloxyphenylene （OXD-2） and on the fluorescence emission spectra of 1,4-bis[（4-methylphenyl）- 1,3,4-oxadiazolyl]phenylene （OXD-1） are investigated using a diamond anvil cell. With the increase of pressure, the intensity of the fluorescence emission increases and reaches maxima at 13GPa for OXD-1 and at 9.6GPa for OXD-2. The effect of pressure on the peak position of the emission shows a similar trend, red shift with the increase of pressure. But at higher pressures, the intensity of emission drops down dramatically. The Raman spectra of OXD-2 indicate that there appears a structural change at ca 3GPa.
