Nd0.5Ca0.5Mn1-xAlxO3(x=0,0.03)体系中电荷有序态的超声研究

The ultrasonic, magnetic and transport properties of Nd0.5Ca0.5Mn1-xAlxO3 (x=0, 0.03) were studied from 15 to 300 K. The temperature dependencies of resistivity and magnetization show that Nd0.5Ca0.5Mn1-xAlxO3 undergoes a charge ordering transition at TCO?257 K. An obvious softening of the longitudinal sound ve- locity above TCO and a dramatic stiffening below TCO accompanied by an attenuation peak were observed. These features imply a strong electron-phonon interaction via the Jahn-Teller effect in the sample. Another broad attenuation peak was observed at around Tp?80 K. This anomaly is attributed to the phase separa- tion between the antiferromagnetic (AFM) and paramagnetic (PM) phases and gives a direct evidence for spin-phonon coupling in the compound. For the x=0.03 sample, both the minimum of sound velocity and attenuation peaks shift to a lower temperature. The results indicate that the charge ordering and CE-type AFM state in Nd0.5Ca0.5Mn1-xAlxO3 are both partially suppressed by replacing Mn with Al.

Thermal- and pressure-induced cooperative spin transition in the 2D and 3D coordination polymers {Fe(5-Br-pmd)z[M(CN)x]y} (M=AgI, AuI, NiII, PdII, PtII)

A new family of cyanide-based spin-crossover polymers with the general formula {Fe(5-Br-pmd)z[M(CN)x]y} [M=AgI (1), AuI (2), NiII (3), PdII (4), PtII (5); 5-Br-pmd=5-bromopyrimidine; z=1 or 2, x=2 or 4, and y=2 or 1] have been synthesized and characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), magnetic susceptibility measurements, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). At 293 K, compound 1 presents the monoclinic space group C2/c, whereas at 120 K, it changes to the monoclinic space group P21/c. At 293 K, the crystal structure of 1 displays an uninodal three-dimensional network whose nodes, constituted of FeII, lie at the inversion center of an elongated octahedron. The equatorial bond lengths are defined by the N atoms of four [AgI(CN)2]- groups belonging to two crystallographically nonequivalent AgI atoms, Ag(1) and Ag(2). They are shorter than those of the axial positions occupied by the N atoms of the 5-Br-pmd ligands. The Fe-N average bond length of 2.1657(7) A is consistent with a high-spin (HS) state for the FeII ions. At 120 K, the crystal structure changes refer mainly to the FeII environment. There are two crystallographically independent FeII ions at this temperature, Fe(1) and Fe(2), which adopt the HS and low-spin (LS) states, respectively. The average Fe-N bond length for Fe(1) [2.174(5) A] and Fe(2) [1.955(5) A] agrees well with the reported magnetic data at this temperature. The spin transition of the FeII ions labeled as Fe(1) is found to be centered at Tc downward arrow=149 K and Tc upward arrow=167 K and accompanied by a drastic change of color from orange (HS) to red (LS). Magnetic susceptibility measurements under applied hydrostatic pressure performed on 1 have shown a linear displacement of the transition to higher temperatures while the hysteresis width remains unaltered in the interval of pressures of 105 Pa to 0.34 GPa. A further increase of the pressure induces the spin transition in the Fe(2) ions, which is completely accomplished at 1.12 GPa (T1/2=162 K). Compounds 1 and 2 are isostructural, but 2 does not exhibit spin-transition properties; the FeII centers remain in the HS state in the temperature range investigated, 5-300 K. Compounds 3-5 are not similar or isostructural with 1. A two-dimensional structure for 3-5 has been proposed on the basis of analytical data and the XRPD patterns. Compounds 3-5 undergo first-order spin transition where the critical temperatures for the cooling (Tc downward arrow) and warming (Tc upward arrow) modes are 170 and 180 K (3), 204 and 214 K (4), and 197 and 223 K (5), respectively. It is worth mentioning the color change from yellow to orange observed in 3-5 upon spin transition. The thermodynamic parameters associated with the spin transition estimated from DSC measurements are DeltaH=6 kJ mol(-1) (1), 11 kJ mol(-1) (3), 16 kJ mol(-1) (4), and 16 kJ mol(-1) (5) and DeltaS=38 J K(-1) mol(-1) (1), 62 J K(-1) mol(-1) (3), 76 J K-1 mol(-1) (4), and 81 J K(-1) mol(-1) (5).     

Vibrational spectra of [(CH3)3NH]3Sb2Cl9, [(CH3)3NH]3Bi2Cl9 and their mixed crystals

The IR and Raman spectra of [(CH₃)₃NH]₃Sb₂Cl₉ (A), [(CH₃)₃NH]₃Bi₂Cl₉ (B) and two of their mixed crystals containing respectively 33% (AB.33) and 42% Bi (AB.42) are analyzed and compared. A and AB.33 show ferroelectric–paraelectric phase transition at 364 K and 344 K, respectively. AB.42 and B are paraelectric in the temperature range between 90 and 365 K. Most of the vibrational modes show continuous changes, with the temperature, in the IR frequencies or intensities with no soft mode behavior. However, characteristic ν(NHCl) and δ(NHCl) vibrations of weakly hydrogen-bonded species are only observed in A and AB.33 below the temperature of the phase transition and are related to the ferroelectricity. The evolution of the IR spectra with the temperature suggests that the ferroelectric properties are connected with the reorientation of the cations which needs a breaking of the weak NHCl hydrogen bonds in the paraelectric phase.     

Magnetic and electrical transport properties of CaCrO3

The preparation of crystalline CaCrO₃ and some of its magnetic and electrical properties are reported. The electrical resistivity is metal like. The high-temperature susceptibility is Curie-Weiss paramagnetic with θ = −920°K, indicative of antiferromagnetic interactions; a break in the susceptibility at about 325°K suggests antiferromagnetic ordering at that temperature. A first-order transition occurs at 90°K accompanied by the appearance of a very small ferromagnetic moment and a discontinuity in the resistivity. X-ray data indicate that this is an 0-orthorhombic → 0′-orthorhombic crystallographic transformation. The low temperature state is probably a canted antiferromagnet.

低浓度甲烷甲醇深度氧化Ag/La0.6Sr0.4MnO3催化剂

Ag-modified La0.6Sr0.4MnO3 catalysts were prepared and their catalytic performance for deep oxidation of CH4 and CH3OH at low concentrations were investigated. The results showed that the La0.6Sr0.4MnO3 host catalyst with the perovskite-type nano-crystallite structure displayed considerably high catalytic activity for deep oxidation of CH4 and CH3OH at low concentrations. Ag modification to the La0.6Sr0.4MnO3 host catalyst resulted in significant enhancement of the catalyst activity, making the T95 (the reaction temperature needed for conversion of 95%of CH4 or CH3OH) lowered down to 735K (for CH4) and 421K (for CH3OH) from 813 and 465 K over the Ag-free system under the reaction conditions:0.1MPa,CH4/O2/N2=2/12/86(molar ratio),GHSV=45000 h-1 and CH3OH/O2/N2= 0.2/1.0/98.8 (molar ratio),GHSV=58000 h-1,respectively.The carbon containing product was almost CO2 and the contents of HCHO and CO in the reaction exit gas were both under GC detectable limit in both cases.
The results of spectroscopic characterization indicated that modification by proper amount of Ag-dopant did not change the perovskite structure of the La0.6Sr0.4MnO3 host catalyst as a whole. Interaction of Ag-dopant with the surface of the host catalyst,La0.6Sr0.4MnO3,was in favor of high dispersion of the Ag component at the catalyst surface and led to the oxidation of part of the Mn3+species to Mn4+,resulting in an increase of amounts of the reducible Mnn+ species and a decrease of their reduction temperature. On the other hand, this interaction led also to enhancement of adsorption ability of the catalyst toward O2 at relatively low temperature. High activity of the Ag modified La0.6Sr0.4MnO3 catalyst for CH4 and CH3OH complete oxidation was closely related to high redox-activity of the catalyst and its prominent adsorption-activation ability to O2 at relatively low temperatures.     

配位化合物Zn(Met)3(NO3)2·H2O(s)(Met=L-α-蛋氨酸)的低温热容及标准摩尔生成焓

利用精密绝热热量仪测定了化合物配合物Zn(Met)₃(NO₃)₂·H₂O (s) (Met=L-α-蛋氨酸)在78-371 K温区的摩尔热容. 通过热容曲线解析, 得到了该配合物的起始脱水温度为T_D=325.10 K. 将该温区的摩尔热容实验值用最小二乘法拟合得到了摩尔热容(C_p)对约化温度(T)的多项式方程, 由此计算得到了配合物的舒平热容值和热力学函数值. 基于设计的热化学循环, 选择100 mL of 2 mol·L^-1 HCl为量热溶剂, 利用等温环境溶解-反应热量计, 得到了298.15 K配合物的标准摩尔生成焓为Δ_fH_m⁰[Zn(Met)₃(NO₃)₂·H₂O(s),s]=-(1472.65±0.76) J·mol^-1.     

Electrical properties in the system (La1−xCax)CoO3 (0.1 ≦ x ≦ 0.5)

The electrical resistivity of (La_1?xCa_x)CoO₃ (0.1 ≦ x ≦ 0.5) was measured in the temperature range from 80 to 300K. Cobaltite with x ≦ 0.15 is a semiconductor, but the specimen with chemical composition 0.2 ≦ x ≦ 0.5 is metallic. The change of temperature dependence of electrical resistivity has a break point around T_c. The value of the logarithm of the specific electrical resistivity (log ?) at 300K has a minimum at x = 0.4, and this result is explained by the Zener double-exchange mechanism.     

可见光下Fe3+掺杂对K2La2Ti3O10分解水制氢性能的影响

采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了Fe3+掺杂的Fe-K2La2Ti3O10光催化剂, 并通过X射线衍射(XRD)、紫外-可见漫反射(DRS)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)等技术对其进行了表征和分析, 考察了不同掺杂量对K2La2Ti3O10的性质及光催化分解水制氢活性的影响. 结果表明, Fe-K2La2Ti3O10在400-650 nm范围内显示强吸收, 光谱响应扩展到可见光区(λ>400 nm), 掺杂Fe3+后, K2La2Ti3O10的可见光区的光催化制氢活性显著提高, 掺杂量为nFe/nTi=0.04时活性最佳, 当催化剂用量为0.1 g, 反应液为CH3OH(30 mL)+H2O(90 mL)时, 产氢量达到1.92 μmol·h-1, 为未掺杂时的4倍.     

La0.67Sr0.33FexMn1-xO3制备和奇特磁电阻效应

The Ln0.67Sr0.33Fe.Mn1-xO3(LSFMO)(0.05< x <0.33) systems have been synthesized by co-precipitation. The X-ray diffraction patterns indicates that these compounds are of single phase with rhombohedral structure. The resistivity of samples was measured in zero field and applied field (H=4000Oe) by a standard four-probe method. Large magnetoresistance (MR) was found in all samples. There is a resistivity transition peak in LSFMO (x ≦0.13) in which MR negative, the temperature (TP) at which the resistivity peak occurs decreases with the increasing of x. LSFMO (x=0.23) to which the large negative MR is still found is a semiconductor, It is unexpected that a peculiar alternative positive negative MR was found in LSFMO(x=0.33) which also is a semicondutor.     

Enhanced TE properties of Cu@Ag/Bi2Te3 nanocomposites by decoupling electrical and thermal properties

Cu@Ag/Bi2Te3 nanocomposites were prepared for the first time by ultrasonic dispersion-rapid freezedrying method combined with spark plasma sintering(SPS).By changing the content of Cu@Ag nanoparticle,we could modulate the temperature dependent thermoelectric properties.The highest ZT value can be obtained at 450 K for 1 vol%Cu@Ag/Bi2Te3,which is benefited from the decoupling of electrical and thermal properties.With the increase of electrical conductivity,the absolute value of Seebeck coefficient lifts while the thermal conductivity declines.Meanwhile,the average ZT value between 300 K and 475 K was 0.61 for 1 vol%Cu@Ag/Bi2Te3,which is much higher than that of pristine Bi2 Te3.Therefore,the decoupling effect of Cu@Ag nanoparticles incorporation could be a promising method to broaden the application of Bi2Te3 based thermoelectric materials.     

Synthesis and Structure of Ba8Cu3In4N5 with Nitridocuprate Groups and One-Dimensional Infinite Indium Clusters

Single crystals of the quaternary compound Ba₈Cu₃In₄N₅ were prepared by heating Ba, Cu, and In in a Na flux at 1023 K under 7 MPa of N₂, and by slow cooling from this temperature. The crystal structure was analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in an orthorhombic cell (space group Immm (No. 71), Z=2) with a=4.0781(6), b=12.588(2), and c=19.804(3) Å at 298 K. The structural formula is expressed as Ba₈[CuN₂]₂ [CuN]In₄. Nitridocuprates of one-dimensional chains ¹_∞[CuN_2/2] and isolated units ⁰[CuN₂], and one-dimensional indium clusters ¹_∞[In₂In_4/2] are contained in the structure. A split-site model applied for the arrangement of ¹_∞[CuN_2/2] chains suggested that there is a short-bond, long-bond alternation of the Cu-N bondings. The electrical resistivity of Ba₈Cu₃In₄N₅ was 3.44 mΩ·cm at 298 K. A metallic temperature dependence of the resistivity was observed down to 10 K.     

Thermophysical properties of SrHfO3 and SrRuO3

Polycrystalline samples of strontium series perovskite type oxides, SrHfO₃ and SrRuO₃ were prepared and the thermophysical properties were measured. The average linear thermal expansion coefficients are 1.13×10⁻⁵ K⁻¹ for SrHfO₃ and 1.03×10⁻⁵ K⁻¹ for SrRuO₃ in the temperature range between 423 and 1073 K. The melting temperatures T_m of SrHfO₃ and SrRuO₃ are 3200 and 2575 K, respectively. The longitudinal and shear sound velocities were measured by an ultrasonic pulse-echo method at room temperature in air, which enables to evaluate the elastic moduli and Debye temperature. The heat capacity was measured by using a differential scanning calorimeter, DSC in high-purity argon atmosphere. The thermal diffusivity was measured by a laser flash method in vacuum. The thermal conductivities of SrHfO₃ and SrRuO₃ at room temperature are 5.20 and 5.97 W m⁻¹ K⁻¹, respectively.     

High-temperature thermoelectric studies of A11Sb10 (A=Yb, Ca)

Large samples (6-8 g) of Yb₁₁Sb₁₀ and Ca₁₁Sb₁₀ have been synthesized using a high-temperature (1275-1375 K) flux method. These compounds are isostructural to Ho₁₁Ge₁₀, crystallizing in the body-centered, tetragonal unit cell, space group I4/mmm, with Z=4. The structure consists of antimony dumbbells and squares, reminiscent of Zn₄Sb₃ and filled Skutterudite (e.g., LaFe₄Sb₁₂) structures. In addition, these structures can be considered Zintl compounds; valence precise semiconductors with ionic contributions to the bonding. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TG), resistivity (ρ), Seebeck coefficient (α), thermal conductivity (κ), and thermoelectric figure of merit (zT) from room temperature to at minimum 975 K are presented for A₁₁Sb₁₀ (A=Yb, Ca). DSC/TG were measured to 1400 K and reveal the stability of these compounds to ∼1200 K. Both A₁₁Sb₁₀ (A=Yb, Ca) materials exhibit remarkably low lattice thermal conductivity (∼10 mW/cm K for both Yb₁₁Sb₁₀ and Ca₁₁Sb₁₀) that can be attributed to the complex crystal structure. Yb₁₁Sb₁₀ is a poor metal with relatively low resistivity (1.4 mΩ cm at 300 K), while Ca₁₁Sb₁₀ is a semiconductor suggesting that a gradual metal-insulator transition may be possible from a Ca_11−xYb_xSb₁₀ solid solution. The low values and the temperature dependence of the Seebeck coefficients for both compounds suggest that bipolar conduction produces a compensated Seebeck coefficient and consequently a low zT.     

Neutron powder diffraction and magnetic measurements on RbTil3, RbVI3, and CsVI3

CsVI₃ (a = 8.124(1) c = 6.774(1)Å,Z = 2, P6₃/mmc at 293 K) adopts the BaNiO₃ structure. Three-dimensional magnetic ordering takes place atT_c = 32(1)K. At 1.2 K the magnetic moment is 1.64(5) μ_B and it forms a 120° spin structure in the basal plane. RbVI₃ (a = 13.863(2) c = 6.807(1) Å,Z = 6, P6₃cmor P3¯c1 at 293 K) and RbTiI₃ (a = 14.024(3) Å,c = 6.796(2) Å,Z = 6, P6₃cm orP3¯c1 at 293 K) adopt a distorted BaNiO₃ structure, probably isostructural with KNiCl₃.T_c of RbVI₃ is 25(1) K. At 1.2 K, RbVI₃ has a spin structure similar to the one of CsVI₃ with a magnetic moment of 1.44(6) μ_B. RbTiI₃ shows no magnetic ordering at 4.2 K. It is shown that a deviation from the 120° structure is expected for compounds with a distorted BaNiO₃ structure such as RbVI₃. The cell dimensions of CsTiI₃ are reported.     

Synthesis, Structure, and Superconductivity in Be1.09B3

The structure consists of a hexagonal array of boronicosahedra, nonicosahedral B₁₂ cages, and B₁₈ cages. Stacked hexagonal layers of boron atoms, hexagons formed by B and Be, and equilateral triangles of boron atoms disordered by a 60° rotation exist along a 6-fold axis down the [001] direction. A superconducting transition at 0.72 K is clearly indicated by resistivity measurements.
