High-Pressure Behavior of Nano Titanium Dioxide

Nanocrystalline rutile Titanium dioxide has been studied by X-ray diffraction at ambient temperature up to 47.4 GPa. The material is found to transform to the monoclinic baddeleyite structure between 20 and 30 GPa, which is higher than the corresponding pressure range for bulk material. Upon decompression, the baddeleyite phase transforms to the f -PbO 2 phase at about 4-2 GPa. The experimental bulk moduli are 211(7) GPa for the rutile phase, 235(16) for the baddeleyite type and 212(25) GPa for the f -PbO 2 type phase. The results are compared with previous measurements of bulk rutile Titanium dioxide.     

High-Pressure Hydrogen Isotopes Sources Based on Vanadium Hydride

Equilibrium pressures of protium and deuterium desorption over a two-phase area of monohydride-vanadium dihydride were measured. Temperature measurement range was 300–635 K and the pressure range 1–500 MPa. Obtained temperature-dependences of fugacities within the given measurement range are: lgf(MPa) = −2152/T+ 6.6 and lgf(MPa) = −2575/T + 7.4 for protium and deuterium, respectively. The values of enthalpy and entropy for vanadium dihydride phase formation were calculated from obtained relations. Using expressions obtained for fugacities and literature data on hydrogen imperfection the pressures, which can be obtained with vanadium dihydride employed in thermodesorption hydrogen sources, were estimated. Taking into account that due to deterioration in strength properties of the used structural materials, the heating temperature of the load-bearing body is limited to ∼973 K, maximal calculated pressure, which can be obtained with such sources as ≈1820 MPa for protium and ≈2220 MPa for deuterium. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Cryogenically Cooled High-Pressure Hydrogen Cluster Jet Injection into the HL-2A Tokamak

The experimental set-up of SMBI system in HL-2A and the detail structure of the molecular beam valve with cooling trap are shown in Fig.l. The valve used for producing hydrogen cluster jet is a solenoid valve S99 with a nozzle orifice of 0.2 mm diameter. The distance between the nozzle of the valve and the edge plasma is about 1.28 m. A liquid nitrogen cryogenic trap is applied for cooling the valve body and decreasing the working gas temperature. The hydrogen cluster jet used for the experiments is in fact a free jet. For real gases, the adiabatic expansion of gas through a nozzle into vacuum results in substantial cooling in the frame of the moving gas. Atoms or molecules that interact weakly at low temperature can form clusters as a result. Attractive forces between atoms can be hydrogen bonding,     

Unusual Behavior of Nanocrystalline Strontium Oxide Toward Hydrogen Sulfide

The thermodynamically favored reaction of solid strontium oxide with gaseous hydrogen sulfide is kinetically enhanced to a large degree by the use of higher surface area nanocrystalline SrO in the form of brush-like collections of metal oxide fibers. An unusual feature is that the reaction SrO + H₂S SrS + H₂O proceeds stoichiometrically at room temperature, but at higher temperatures the reaction efficiency goes down, apparently due to rapid temperature induced crystal growth of the nanocrystalline SrO. The samples studied vary in crystallite size from 20 to 27nm, while average particle size (nanocrystal aggregates) varies in the following order; aerogel prepared SrO (100nm) 相似文献   

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.     

Study of the Balmer Spectrum of Hydrogen from a High-Pressure Arc Discharge. II. Comparison of Experiment and Theory

The intensity distribution in the Balmer spectrum of hydrogen was calculated in the context of a model in which a cut-off Coulomb potential is applied to simulate the influence of the surrounding plasma on the spectral distribution of atomic oscillator strengths. The results show satisfactory over-all agreement with experimental data obtained from a high-pressure are discharge.     

Study of the Balmer Spectrum of Hydrogen from a High-Pressure Arc Discharge. I. Spectroscopic Measurements and Plasma Analysis

The Balmer spectrum of hydrogen emitted from a wall-stabilized pulse discharge has been measured covering a pressure range between 0.1 and 1.2 MPa. The temperature achieved in the discharge varied between 13000 and 22000 K corresponding to a variation in the electron concentration between 10²³ and 10²⁴ m^?3. Special consideration is given to the problems in both diagnostics and spectroscopic data acquisition.

Raman Spectra of Nitrogen,Carbon Dioxide,and Hydrogen in a Methane Environment

Changes in the Raman spectra of N₂, H₂, and CO₂ are studied in the range of 200–3800 cm^–1 depending on the concentration of surrounding CH₄ molecules at a fixed medium pressure of 25 atm and temperature of 300 K. It has been found that changes in the spectral characteristics of purely rotational H₂ lines in a CH₄ medium are negligible, while the Q-branches of the v₁/2v₂ Fermi dyad in СO₂ become narrower and wavenumbers of its high-frequency component and v₁ band of N₂ decrease. In addition, under these conditions, the ratio of intensities of the CO₂ Fermi dyad Q-branch varies in proportion to the concentration of surrounding molecules of CH₄. The obtained data will be used in diagnosing the composition of natural gas using Raman spectroscopy.     

Aggregation Behavior of Metal-Ethylene Complexes and Its Effect on Hydrogen Storage Capacity

The aggregation of Li, Ti decorated ethylene molecules and its effect on hydrogen storage capacity have been thoroughly studied using a first-principles calculation. The results indicate that the aggregation of C2H4-metal complexes substantially impacts on the hydrogen storage capacity. The aggregation of C2H4-Li reduces the hydrogen storage capacity greatly and makes the hydrogen storage capacity of C2H4-Li complexes hardly meet the demands of the U.S. DOE. The C2H4Ti2 dimers can uptake hydrogen as much as 10 wt%, which suggests that the C2H4Ti2 dimer can be a promising candidate for practical applications.     

过渡金属锆铁对钨中氢氦行为的影响

钨被广泛地认为是最具潜力的面向等离子体材料。钨在聚变堆中的服役过程中,会受到强束低能的氢氦粒子流的影响,其结果是钨的性能下降。本工作通过第一性原理计算的方法研究了过渡金属锆铁对钨中氢氦行为的影响。研究结果表明,锆或铁的掺入会使钨的机械强度降低,延展性增加;锆铁的掺入不会改变氢氦在钨中的最佳占位,但是它们对氢氦在钨中的稳定性有一定影响;锆和铁对钨中氢氦的捕获作用存在一个最佳作用半径;铁原子在短距离（< 3.626 Å）时对氦有捕获作用,在长距离（> 3.626 Å）时存在排斥作用,而锆对钨中氢氦均具有捕获作用;钨中氢表现为亲电子的性质,而氦表现出疏电子的特性。总体上讲,锆对钨中氢氦的捕获作用要强于铁对钨中氢氦的捕获作用。本研究工作能够为钨基面向等离子体材料制备提供理论指导。Tungsten was widely considered as a highly promising candidate of plasma facing material, while the presence of hydrogen and helium has an adverse effect on the performance of the tungsten. The effects of transition metals (zirconium, iron) on the behavior of hydrogen and helium in tungsten were investigated by using the first-principles calculation method. The results show that doping of zirconium and iron decreases the mechanical strength of tungsten a little, but they increase the ductility of tungsten; zirconium and iron can't change the best occupied site of hydrogen and helium in tungsten, but they have some effect on the stability of the point defects formed by hydrogen and helium in tungsten; there is the best attraction radius between the transition metals (zirconium, iron) and hydrogen or helium in tungsten; there is an attractive interaction between iron and helium in a short distance (<3.626 Å), but a repulsion interaction in a long distance (>3.626 Å). An attractive interaction exists between zirconium and helium or hydrogen in tungsten whatever the distance is; the hydrogen that in tungsten has an electrophilic nature, while the helium has opposite features. The attraction interaction between zirconium and hydrogen or helium in tungsten is stronger than that of iron. Our works in this paper might provide a theory guide for the selection and preparation of the tungsten based alloy that is used as the plasma facing materials.

高压下L-丝氨酸的拉曼光谱研究

压力可以引起蛋白折叠与变性。作为蛋白质的基本构成单位,氨基酸在高压下的变化近来年备受关注。在常见的20种氨基酸中,学者们利用高压拉曼技术已研究了多种氨基酸在高压下的变化,研究的最高压力达到30 GPa。为了探究L-丝氨酸(C₃H₇NO₃)在极高压力下的结构变化情况,采用原位高压拉曼技术在常温下对L-丝氨酸晶体进行研究,最高压力达到22.6 GPa。研究发现,当压力达到2.7 GPa时,在102 cm-1处出现新峰,在1 123 cm-1(NH₃反对称摇摆振动)处的特征峰出现劈裂;当压力达到5.4 GPa时,L-丝氨酸晶体在574 cm-1处出现新峰,同时原来164 cm-1处峰消失;当压力达到6.0 GPa时,位于226,456,770和2 968 cm-1(CH₂伸缩振动)等处出现新峰,877 cm-1处的CC伸缩振动峰发生劈裂,产生894 cm-1新峰;当压力达到7.9 GPa时,在145,151和2 946 cm-1等出现新峰,同时原在CO₂摇摆振动峰的肩峰531 cm-1消失;当压力达到11.0 GPa时,位于249 cm-1处的振动峰开始劈叉,在241 cm-1处形成新峰,位于2 956 cm-1(CH₂伸缩振动)同时原位于391和431 cm-1处的峰消失;当压力达到17.5 GPa时,在200 cm-1处出现新峰。通过进一步分析L-丝氨酸的拉曼波数随压力的变化,发现很多拉曼峰在1.37,2.2,5.3,7.46和11.0 GPa以及15.5 GPa等压力点处都出现了拐点。其结果表明：L-丝氨酸在0.1～22.6 GPa之间共发生7处结构相变,分别位于压力区间0.1~1.37,2.2~2.7,5.3,6.0,7.46~7.9,10.1~11.0和15.5~17.5 GPa之间。而且,在6.0 GPa新的相变点在之前文献中未论述过。由于L-丝氨酸晶体在6.0 GPa时CC伸缩振动峰发生劈裂,这现象可能是由于压力引起L-丝氨酸晶体分子发生重排导致的,同时L-丝氨酸晶体分子重排导致氢键发生重排,使得L-丝氨酸晶体出现新的CH₂伸缩振动峰。L-丝氨酸晶体在10.1~11.0 GPa之间的拉曼光谱变化主要集中在低波数段,该波数段的拉曼振动模式主要与晶体晶格振动等低能量振动有关。同时在高波数段出现新的CH₂峰,由此可推测在10.1~11.0 GPa之间,L-丝氨酸晶体的晶格振动发生变化,产生了新的氢键,从而导致了L-丝氨酸晶体结构的改变。L-丝氨酸晶体在15.5~17.5 GPa之间,由于没有发现直接证据证明其发生结构相变,只是在拉曼波数随压力变化中,发现其在17.5 GPa时出现拐点,因此推测L-丝氨酸晶体在15.5~17.5 GPa之间可能发生结构相变。     

AIN 纳米线高压相变的 Raman 光谱特征

利用金刚石对顶砧(DAC)技术和显微 Ramana 光谱原位测量技术,在0～33.1 GPa 压力范围对 AIN 纳米线进行了高压相变研究.在24.4 GPa 附近,A1(LO)振动模式呈现出较大的非对称性宽化的特征,表明发生了六角纤锌矿到立方岩盐矿的结构转变.岩盐矿结构 AIN 纳米线的无序声子散射导致了高压相的Raman 散射信号.卸压后,高压相的 Raman 光谱特征被保留下来.根据纤锌矿结构 AIN 纳米线的振动模式频率随压力的变化关系,讨论了 AIN 纳米线和体材料在转变路径上的区别,并计算了纤锌矿结构中对应不同声子模式的格林爱森常数.

Evidence for a High-Pressure Isostructural Transition in Nitrogen

We observed an isostructural phase transition in the solid nitrogen λ-N₂ at approximately 50 GPa accompanied by anomalies in lattice parameters, atomic volume and Raman vibron modes. The anomalies are ascribed to a slight reorientation of the nitrogen molecules, which does not seem to affect the monoclinic symmetry(space group p2_1/c). Our ab initio calculations further confirm the phenomena, and suggest an optimized structure for the λ-N₂ phase. In addition, a ne...     

High-Pressure and High-Temperature Behaviour of Gallium Oxide

High-temperature and high-pressure behaviours of β-Ga2O3 powder are studied by energy-dispersive x-ray diffrac- tion in a diamond anvil cell （DAC）. It is found that the phase transition from the monoclinic β-Ga2O3 to the trigonal α-Ga2O3 occurs at around 19.2 GPa under cold compression. By heating the powder to 2000 K at 30 GPa, we confirm that α-Ga2O3 is the most stable structure at the high pressure. Furthermore, the structural transition from β-Ga2O3 to α-Ga2O3 is irreversible. After laser heating, the recrystallized Ga2O3 has a preferable （012） orientation. This interesting behaviour is also discussed.     

Complex Calculations of High-Pressure Discharge Irradiation Characteristics

A wide range of problems related to the determination of the high-pressure irradiation parameters in inert gases and vapors of metals is considered. A new method for calculating equilibrium states of the computed thermodynamic systems is described and its applications to the determination of the plasma composition are disclosed. The method for computing basic discharge characteristics including the determination of material functions of the plasma producing media along with the optical absorption factors' a temperature field in a discharge stabilized by a quartz shell with regard to irradiation energy transfer carried out by bright-line and continous spectra, spectral distributions for the radiant fluxes and discharge irradiation efficiency is presented. Results of multiple calculations to obtain said characteristics in krypton, xenon, vapors of sodium, potassium, rubidium and their mixtures with inert gases are given. Calculated data is a satisfactory agreement with the results of experiments published by various authors.

Development of High-Pressure ESR System Using Micro-coil

We have developed the high-pressure electron spin resonance (ESR) system using a micro-coil in the frequency region up to around 2 GHz and potentially 10 GHz. The hybrid-type piston-cylinder pressure cell whose maximum pressure reaches 4 GPa was used. In this study, we obtained ESR spectra at 2.3 GPa successfully, which can never be obtained by the single-layer piston-cylinder pressure cell. The minimum detectable spin number was estimated to be the order of 10¹² spins/G. Moreover, it is shown that the sensitivity can be improved by two orders of magnitude using the field modulation technique. This high-pressure ESR technique is a promising one to achieve the sensitivity and the high pressure simultaneously.
