Glass fabrics self-cracking catalytic growth of boron nitride nanotubes

Glass fabrics were used to fabricate boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) with a broad diameter range through a combined chemical vapor deposition and self-propagation high-temperature synthesis (CVD-SHS) method at different holding times (0min, 30min, 90min, 180min and 360min). SEM characterization has been employed to investigate the macro and micro structure/morphology changes of the glass fabrics and BNNTs in detail. SEM image analysis has provided direct experimental evidences for the rationality of the optimized self-cracking catalyst VLS growth mechanism, including the transformation situations of the glass fabrics and the BNNTs growth processes respectively. This paper was the further research and compensation for the theory and experiment deficiencies in the new preparation method of BNNTs reported in our previous work. In addition, it is likely that the distinctive self-cracking catalyst VLS growth mechanism could provide a new idea to preparation of other inorganic functional nano-materials using similar one-dimensional raw materials as growth templates and catalysts.

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Property of CuPb2(OH)2Cl3

A new copper(I)-lead(II) oxyhalide, Cu Pb2(OH)2Cl3, has been prepared by hydrothermal reaction and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The compound crystallizes in tetragonal, space group I4(1)/acd with a = b = 13.77(1), c = 15.38(1) , V = 2916.2(2), Z = 4, Mr = 618.29, Dc = 5.633 g/cm3, μ = 49.97(2) mm-1, F(000) = 4192, the final R = 0.0204 and w R = 0.0452 for 757 observed reflections with I 2σ(I). The structure of Cu Pb2(OH)2Cl3 contains one-dimensional helical chains built by Cu Cl4 tetrahedra with corner-sharing along the c-axis, in which the Pb2+ and OH- ions are located at the voids between chains. Optical reflectance spectrum measurements indicate that it is a semiconductor with a band-gap of 3.23 e V.     

Optical,electrical and magnetic properties of nanostructured Mn3O4 synthesized through a facile chemical route

Nanostructured Mn₃O₄ sample with an average crystallite size of ∼15 nm is synthesized via the reduction of potassium permanganate using hydrazine. The average particle size obtained from the Transmission Electron Microscopy analysis is in good agreement with the average crystallite size estimated from X-ray diffraction analysis. The presence of Mn⁴⁺ ions at the octahedral sites is inferred from the results of Raman, UV–visible absorption and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyzes. DC electrical conductivity of the sample in the temperature range 313–423 K, is about five orders of magnitude larger than that reported for single crystalline Mn₃O₄ sample. The dominant conduction mechanism is identified to be of the polaronic hopping of holes between cations in the octahedral sites. The zero field cooled and field cooled magnetization of the sample is studied in the range 20–300 K. The Curie temperature for the sample is about 45 K, below which the sample is ferrimagnetic. A blocking temperature of 35 K is observed in the field cooled curve. It is observed that the sample shows hysteresis at temperatures below the Curie temperature with no saturation, even at an applied field (20 kOe). The presence of an ordered core and disordered surface of spin arrangements is observed from the magnetization studies. Above the Curie temperature, the sample shows linear dependence of magnetization on applied field with no hysteresis characteristic of paramagnetic phase.

以波长为780 nm、重复频率为76 MHz、脉宽为130 fs的飞秒激光作为激发光源, 采用超快时间分辨光谱技术研究了CdTe量子点-铜酞菁复合体系的荧光共振能量转移. 实验结果表明, 在780 nm的双光子激发条件下, 复合体系中CdTe量子点的荧光寿命随着铜酞菁溶液浓度的增加而减少, 荧光共振能量转移效率增加. 同时也研究了激发功率对荧光共振能量转移效率的影响. 结果表明, 随着激发光功率的增加, 复合体系溶液中CdTe量子点的荧光寿命增加, 荧光共振能量转移效率减小, 其物理机理是因为高激发功率下的热效应和由双光子诱导的高阶激发态的跃迁. 当激发光功率为200 mW时, 双光子荧光共振能量转移效率为43.8%. 研究表明CdTe量子点-铜酞菁复合体系是非常有潜力的第三代光敏剂.
