Studies on Nuclear Resonant Scattering of Synchrotron Radiation by 40K

The studies on nuclear resonant scattering by ⁴⁰K using synchrotron radiation are reviewed. Brilliant and high pure synchrotron radiation permitted us to observe the nuclear resonant forward scattering by ⁴⁰K in a powdered KCl sample, the excitation of which is impossible with ordinary radioactive sources. Furthermore, nuclear resonant inelastic scattering of synchrotron radiation by ⁴⁰K in the KCl sample at room temperature has been measured using a high-resolution monochromator. Adding to these, from the excitation experiments of ⁴⁰K, the energy and lifetime of the first excited state of ⁴⁰K were confirmed. These measurements clearly show that the studies on the electronic states through hyperfine interactions and the dynamical properties of potassium atoms, which are very important in material science and biology, are possible. It should be noted that ⁴⁰K is the natural isotope of potassium and weakly radioactive. Our observation of forward and inelastic scattering of the radioactive nuclide ⁴⁰K will lead to further studies on other radioactive nuclides the resonant forward and inelastic scattering of which are not observed to date.     

Phase Transitions in UHMWPE Fiber Compacts Studied by in situ Synchrotron Microbeam WAXS

Summary: The temperature dependence of the structure of either cross‐linked or non‐cross‐linked ultra‐high‐molecular‐weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber compacts was studied by synchrotron microbeam wide‐angle X‐ray scattering (WAXS), focusing on the fiber‐fiber interface. The phase transition sequence is: melting of the monoclinic phase in the fiber skin, which was completed by 135 °C; melting of the unconstrained orthorhombic phase, by 152 °C; melting of the constrained orthorhombic phase and a orthorhombic‐hexagonal phase transition until 157 °C; and gradual melting of the hexagonal phase, up to 165 °C. Cross‐linking provides additional thermal stabilization.

基于同步辐射光源研究水热合成纳米氧化物的生长机理

纳米氧化物的可控制备是提高其应用性能的前提条件。水热反应目前被广泛用于制备纳米氧化物材料,然而由于水热反应是在密闭环境中进行,很难研究前驱体的溶解过程,溶解后在溶液中的配位情况、晶体成核、生长过程以及形成的中间相,因此,难以实现材料的目标制备。同步辐射具有高强度、高亮度、高准直、宽频谱等诸多优点,通过设计和构建特殊的反应装置,可以应用同步辐射光源原位研究纳米氧化物在水热条件下的生长过程。本文结合本课题组及国际的研究工作介绍了原位反应装置的设计原则,以及基于同步辐射光源的原位X射线衍射(XRD)、X射线吸收精细结构谱(XAFS)和小角X射线散射(SAXS)研究纳米氧化物水热生长机理的最新进展,并展望了其发展趋势。     

Structure Elucidation of Complex Endotaxially Intergrown Lanthanum Barium Oxonitridosilicate Oxides by Combination of Microfocused Synchrotron Radiation and Transmission Electron Microscopy

Single-crystalline domains in intergrown microcrystalline material of the new compounds Ba_22.5+xLa_55−x[Si₁₂₉N_240−xO_x]O₃:Ce³⁺ and Ba_25.5+xLa_77−x[Si₁₇₀N_312−xO_9+x]O₄:Ce³⁺ were identified by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Precise diffraction data from these domains were collected with microfocused synchrotron radiation so that crystal structure elucidation of the complex disordered networks became possible. They are composed of two different interconnected slabs of which one is similar in both compounds, which explains their notorious intergrowth. The distribution of Ba and La is indicated by the analysis of bond-valence sums and by comparison with isostructural Sr_28.5+xLa_75−x[Si₁₇₀N_312−xO_9+x]O₄. Ce³⁺ doping leads to yellow luminescence. This is a showcase that highlights the discovery and accurate characterization of new compounds relevant for luminescence applications from heterogeneous microcrystalline samples by exploiting the capability of the combination of TEM and diffraction using the latest focusing techniques for synchrotron radiation.

Characterization of the Orientation Parameters Around Crack Tips in Unfilled and Nanofilled Poly(propylene) Using in-situ Synchrotron Small and Wide Angle Scanning Scattering Techniques

The fracturing behavior of polymers and polymeric composites is of great interest in the scientific and application community. Especially in the case of silicate-layered nanocomposites the influence of fillers on the fracturing behavior is still fairly unclear. Fractures of semicrystalline polymers are accompanied by various processes of which shearing and cavitations are the most common ones. Nanocomposite deformation due to the delamination of fillers seems to be the most practical way leading to fractures with relatively low strains. With the method of scanning small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) it is possible to combine information on the structural details with the position on the sample, with the actual position resolution of the investigation being defined by the size of the X-ray beam used to scan the sample. By means of the application of synchrotron radiation it is nowadays possible to adjust the actual beam size to the dimensions of the region of interest, which is why it is an adequate tool for studying the deformation region near a crack tip. In a native polypropylene sample, the fracturing process was accompanied by shear yielding as well as lamellae fragmentation and reorienting. In the highly deformed material near the crack tip fibrillated material could be found. However, in the polymeric nanocomposites (PNC) shearing, lamellae fragmentation, and fibrillation were hindered by the filler due to which the material did not have so much freedom to dissipate energy and fractures occurred much earlier. In this paper the comparison of a PNC and its native polymer is to provide an overview of the different deformation mechanism and the structural details around the crack tip.     

Production of N3 upon Photolysis of Solid Nitrogen at 3 K with Synchrotron Radiation

The photodissociation of gaseous molecular nitrogen has been investigated intensively, but the corresponding knowledge in a solid phase is lacking. Irradiation of pure solid nitrogen at 3 K with vacuum‐ultraviolet light from a synchrotron produced infrared absorption lines of product l‐N₃ at 1657.8 and 1652.6 cm^?1. The threshold wavelength to generate l‐N₃ was determined to be (143.7±1.8) nm, corresponding to an energy of (8.63±0.11) eV. Quantum‐chemical calculations support the formation of l‐N₃ from the reaction N₂+N₂, possibly through an activated complex l‐N₄ upon photoexcitation with energy above 8.63 eV. The results provide a possible application to an understanding of the nitrogen cycle in astronomical environments.
