CIS and CIGS nanomaterials prepared by solvothermal method and their spectral properties

Uniform CIS and CIGS nanomaterials were successfully synthesized by a simple amino‐based assisted solvothermal technique using PVP‐30 as the surfactant. The influence of surfactant, temperature and Ga amount on the structure, morphology, phase and spectral property was analyzed in detail. The results show that CIS and CIGS nanomaterials with 40∼70 nm in diameter can be gained at 200 °C for 24 h. PVP‐30 surfactant can greatly improve the dispersion characteristics of particles. XRD pattern shows that the “three peaks” obviously shift to bigger 2θ after gallium implantation because of lattice contraction. EDAX and Raman show that the final product is close to CuIn_0.7Ga_0.3Se₂. The possible reaction mechanism has also been explained in detail. UV‐vis‐NIR spectra show that the absorption peak and absorption edge of CIGS with 1.278 eV bandgap obviously shift to a lower energy compared to CIS with 1.051 eV bandgap, which shows the potential application in enhanced conversion efficiency.     

Kinetically controlled synthesis of hollow Cu2O nanocubes under solvothermal condition

Hollow Cu₂O nanocubes have been fabricated under solvothermal condition using N,N ‐dimethylformamide (DMF) as solvent at 120 °C for 12 h. The products were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X‐ray powder diffraction (XRD) and high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Series of experiment confirmed that the amount of water, the reaction time and temperature played important roles in the morphology evolution of hollow Cu₂O nanocubes. DMF is a relatively weak alkali solvent and could release a certain amount of OH^– under the given conditions. As the release speed of OH^– from DMF became substantially slow, the nucleation and growth of Cu₂O nanocubes turned into kinetically controlled process. (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Microwave irradiation solvothermal technique: an optimized protocol for size‐control synthesis of Ru nanoparticles

Ruthenium (III) chloride salt and Poly (N‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone) (PVP as a capping agent) was dissolved in ethylene glycol, which played a dual role for synthesis, as solvent and also as reducing agent. Microwave (MW) irradiation was applied to the solvent which provided controllable thermal activation for synthesis of ruthenium nanoparticles and also restricted the agglomeration of particles in presence of excess amount of solvent, which was recovered by distillation after completion of reaction. Synthesized particle was found to be in the range of 2–20 nm with narrow size distribution and average particle size was around 14 nm. Particle size and size distribution were studied by varying different parameters e.g. reaction temperature, time, PVP/RuCl₃ molar ratio and irradiation power and was characterized by Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Mathematical model has been developed using matlab software to obtain the particle size as a function of microwave power.     

Al2TiO5/Al2O3陶瓷复合材料的晶粒异向生长

通过机械激活法制备了Al2TiO5/Al2O3(nAl2TiO5: nAl2O3=1: 4)的陶瓷复合材料.利用X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电镜(SEM)以及能谱(EDS)分析了不同的温度制度下Al2TiO5/Al2O3陶瓷复合材料的晶粒生长特性.X射线衍射谱图(XRD)显示烧结样品的主晶相为α-Al2O3和Al2TiO5.SEM和EDS分析显示,较低温度下烧结(1350 ℃)时Al2TiO5晶粒为等轴状.当温度升高到1450 ℃时,Al2TiO5开始异向长大,形成棒状晶粒.随着温度的升高(1500 ℃),棒状Al2TiO5的长径比继续增加.而Al2O3则始终为片状和等轴晶粒,且异向生长的Al2TiO5晶粒填充于Al2O3三角晶界处.研究表明,烧结温度的升高会促进晶体异向生长并增加其体积分数.Al2TiO5会阻碍Al2O3基体颗粒进一步生长,所以当Al2TiO5颗粒平均尺寸随着烧结温度增加而增大,Al2O3基体晶粒生长几乎停滞.

Structural and optical property studies of CdSe crystalline nanorods synthesized by a solvothermal method

CdSe nanorods are synthesized via a simple solvothermal method at a moderate temperature of 180 °C. The influences of introducing hydrazine hydrate (N₂H₄·H₂O) as the reducing agent, and ammonia (NH₃·H₂O) as the complexing agent and also the reaction temperature, on the morphology and size of the obtained CdSe nanorods are investigated and reported. CdSe nanorods with a mean diameter and length of 25 and 82 nm, respectively, are synthesized and the problem of handling the stacking faults present in the long CdSe nanorods is analyzed. The use of increased quantity of hydrazine hydrate and also prolonged reaction time is found to reduce the stacking faults on the synthesized nanorods. The morphology, phase and the optical properties of CdSe nanoparticles are studied using powder X-ray diffraction, TEM and high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), UV–visible absorption spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The low-resolution TEM images confirm the formation of CdSe nanorods, and also the agglomeration of nanoparticles and the presence of few spherical nanoparticles. The strong PL intensity from the CdSe nanorod at 702 nm confirms a blue shift of 14 nm, when compared with the bulk wurtzite CdSe.

Influence of internal radiation on the heat transfer during growth of YAG single crystals by the Czochralski method

Heat and mass transfer taking place during growth of Y₃Al₅O₁₂ (YAG) crystals by the Czochralski method, including inner radiation, is analyzed numerically using a Finite Element Method. For inner radiative heat transfer through the crystal the band approximation model and real transmission characteristics, measured from obtained crystals, are used. The results reveal significant differences in temperature and melt flow for YAG crystals doped with different dopands influencing the optical properties of the crystals. When radiative heat transport through the crystal is taken into account the melt‐crystal interface shape is different from that when the radiative transport is not included. Its deflection remains constant over a wide range of crystal rotation rates until it finally rapidly changes in a narrow range of rotation rates. (© 2003 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Structure and optical properties of Mg‐doped ZnO nanoparticles by polyacrylamide method

Mg‐doped ZnO (Mg_xZn_1‐xO) nanoparticles with precise stoichiometry are synthesized through polyacrylamide polymer method. Calcination of the polymer precursor at 650 °C gives particles of the homogeneous solid solution of the (Mg_xZn_1‐xO) system in the composition range (x < 0.15). ZnO doping with Mg causes shrinkage of lattice parameter c. The synthesized Mg_xZn_1‐xO nanoparticles are typically with the diameter of 70–85 nm. Blue shift of band gap with the Mg‐content is demonstrated, and photoluminescence (PL) from ZnO has been found to be tunable in a wide range from green to blue through Mg doping. The blue‐related PL therefore appeared to be caused by energetic shifts of the valence band and/or the conduction band of ZnO. Mg_xZn_1‐xO nanoparticles synthesized by polyacrylamide‐gel method after modified by polyethylene glycol surfactant have a remarkable improvement of stability in the ethanol solvent, indicating that these MZO nanoparticles could be considered as the candidate for the application of solution–processed technologies for optoelectronics at ambient temperature conditions.

*Ir4+ ion‐free 12CaO·7Al2O3 single crystal grown by the CZ method

Ir⁴⁺ ion‐free 12CaO•7Al₂O₃ (C12A7) single crystals that were colorless and transparent have been grown by the CZ method under 0.5% oxygen‐containing nitrogen atmospheres for the first time. Powder X‐ray diffraction patterns and X‐ray single‐crystal diffraction were used to investigate the microstructure and quality of the C12A7 single crystal. The results show that the crystal was a C12A7 single crystal with tetragonal symmetry. The content of Ir⁴⁺ in the C12A7 single crystal was tested by ICP along with visible‐light transmittance. There was no Ir⁴⁺ in the C12A7 crystal grown in a 0.5% oxygen‐containing nitrogen atmosphere. Contents of Ir⁴⁺ in C12A7 crystal grown under 1% and 2% oxygen‐containing nitrogen atmospheres were 500 ppm and 400 ppm, respectively. The microstructure of C12A7 single crystal was determined by the content of oxygen in the growth process: the occurrence of bubbles and color increase when the content of oxygen is increased. Bubbles and color decrease when the oxygen content is lowered, bubbles disappeared and the color of C12A7 turns into transparent when the content of oxygen is 0.5%, the C12A7 phase decomposed when the content of oxygen was lower than 0.5%. So, the content of oxygen was responsible for the bubbles, color and cracking, and these also can be limited by controlling the content of oxygen.
