Electrical and Thermal Properties of NH4BrxCI1-x Single Crystal

The effect of partial replacement of Cl^? ions by Br^? ions in the mixed system of ammonium chloride and ammonium bromide during a set of thermal heating cycles is studied. The study includes electrical measurements (d.c. resistivity, dielectric constant and the spontaneous thermal current), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and dilatometric thermal analysis in the temperature range ?60 °C up to 30°C. The results show a large change in the various measured parameters sensitive to thermal agitation process and to the presence of the bromine ions in the mixed crystal system close to the morphotropic boundary x = 0.5. At this boundary the temperature region of the ordered phase extended by about 28°C. The transformation enthalpy was reduced in such case to 41.3 cal/mol. According to the different experimental data of the system NH₄Br_xCl_1-x, a phase diagram was proposed. This phase diagram predicted that the order-disorder phase transition point changed widely according to the value of x and reached ?2°C when the mixed crystal system contained 50% of Br^? ions.

Mechanical Properties and Anisotropy in PbWO4 Single Crystal

The mechanical properties of PbWO4 （PWO） crystals grown by the vertical Bridgman method are systematically investigated using the microindentation technique. In the present work, the Vickers microhardness Hν, fracture toughness Kc, yield strength σy and friability index Bi of PbWO4 crystals are measured. The Vickers microhardness Hν on the （100） wafer is about 140 MPa, which means that PWO is a little soft＇＇ scintillator. The anisotropy of mechanical properties is also investigated under a steady load of 0.5 kg. The （100） wafer of the crystal exhibits combined mechanical properties more excellent than those of （111） and （001） wafers, and the values of Kc, σy, and Bi are 0.538 MPa＆#12539;m1/2, 51.11 kg/mm2 and 284.96 νm-1/2, respectively.

Elastic Properties of Li 2 B 4 O 7 Single Crystal Determined From Piezoelectric Resonance

Application of piezoelectric resonance enables determination of the complex coefficient s = s ' m is " by means of measurements of the complex admittance. The coefficients s ' and s " can be calculated from the parameters characterising behaviour of the dumped harmonic oscillator in the vicinity of piezoelectric resonance. This method has been used in the determination of phase transition points in a Li 2 B 4 O 7 single crystal. In respect of the temperature dependence of the elastic coefficient $ s_{11}^E $ several anomalies in the range of 20-180°C have been found. In the vicinity of the critical temperatures the imaginary part $ s''^E_{11} $ reveals a more distinct anomaly than the real part $ s'^E_{11} $ .     

ZnO单晶的微区光致发光特性研究

ZnO单晶材料以其优良的综合性能在光电子器件方面掀起了研究热潮,因此对ZnO单晶的研究具有重要的理论和实践意义。采用激光辐照的方式,对ZnO单晶进行了光致发光(photoluminescence, PL)光谱实验,分析研究了ZnO单晶在不同温度(低温)和不同激光能量强度照射下其光致发光特性。研究结果表明,ZnO单晶内存在少量杂质及表面氧缺陷,这些结构对其发光特性有一定的影响;在低温条件下,ZnO单晶具有良好的发光特性,且随着温度的提高,发光光谱峰的位置会向长波长方向移动,但强度会减小;当激光光源的强度增大,ZnO单晶的PL发射光谱的强度也会随之增大,且峰的位置和相对强度不变。结合拉曼(Raman)光谱实验,从分子及原子振动、转动类型验证了纤锌矿ZnO单晶的六方晶系结构;配合X射线衍射(X-ray diffraction, XRD)技术,得出ZnO单晶良好的结晶特性以及晶轴取向。     

An EPR Study of Cu2+ Doped Sodium Hydrogen Oxalate Monohydrate Single Crystal

The EPR spectra of Cu²⁺ in Sodium hydrogen oxalate monohydrate, NaHC₂O₄.H₂O(SHOMH hereafter) single crystal was studied at room temperature. The angular variation of EPR spectra showed that the Cu²⁺ ion in SHOMH single crystal substitutes with Na⁺ monovalent cation together with a monovalent vacancy to compensate oxygen in the crystal. Since the crystal symmetry is triclinic, only one site is observed in the EPR spectra in three perpendicular axis. The spin Hamiltonian parameters were obtained, and the ground state wave function of Cu²⁺ ion in the lattice was constructed.

EPR Study of the Vanadium Ions in Mg2SiO4 Crystal

Vanadium-doped forsterite crystal has been studied with X-band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The sample was grown by the Czochralski technique in an argon atmosphere with 2 vol% of hydrogen. The EPR spectrum of the sample at T = 15 K is predominantly represented by the V⁴⁺ ion signals that possess a characteristic eight-line hyperfine structure and are observed close to g = 2. The observation of the two magnetically nonequivalent centers in the angular dependence in the (ab) crystal plane and one center in the (ac) and (bc) planes, combined with the published optical spectroscopy data, unambiguously show that the V⁴⁺ ions are located at the silicon lattice site. Principal values of the hyperfine A and g-tensor and magnetic axes orientations of the V⁴⁺ centers have been determined. The orientation disorder of the V⁴⁺ centers has been found around the crystalline c axis but not in the (ab) crystal plane. The angular variation of the hyperfine component linewidth is described best with a disorder range of ±3.0°.

Raman Spectroscopy and Magnetic Properties of Mn-Doped ZnO Bulk Single Crystal

Mn doped ZnO bulk single crystals are grown by the modified Bridgman method. The as-grown crystals are red in eolour. The additional Raman mode observed at 524cm^-1 is attributed to the Mn ions incorporating into ZnO crystal. The crystal exhibited paramagnetie under lower applied field below 2280 Oe. Then diamagnetism is observed in the crystal when the magnetic field rises up and becomes dominant under applied field above 5270 Oe. The magnetic susceptibility dependence on the temperature follows a Curie law indicating a typical paramagnetie characteristic under an applied field of 2kOe. No ferromagnetic ordering is observed in the as-grown Mn-doped ZnO crystal.     

EPR Study of Single Crystals of PROXYLs

Electron paramagnetic resonance study of the single crystals of two PROXYLs, trans-2,5-bis(4-methylphenyl)-2,5-dimethylpyrrolidine-1-oxy [(±)-1] and trans-2-(4-methylphenyl)-2,5-dimethyl-5-phenylpyrrolidine-1-oxy [(±)-2] was conducted. The obtained spectra were always fitted well by a single Lorentzian. The principal g-values (g _x , g _y , g _z ) of (±)-1 and (±)-2 were determined as (2.00990, 2.00639, 2.00266) and (2.01106, 2.00742, 2.00389), respectively. The profiles of half width at half maximum (HWHM) depending on two polar angles, θ and ϕ, were measured in all directions. The angular profiles of the exchange interaction (|J ₀|) were attempted to be estimated by dividing the experimental HWHM by the calculated total second moment (M ₂ ^tot) with the crystallographic data. For (±)-1, |J ₀| along the c-axis was estimated to be much larger than that along the a- or b-axis. This suggests that (±)-1 is a one-dimensional magnet along the c-axis.
