Structural phase transformations in annealed cubic ZnS nanocrystals

The structural changes of cubic ZnS (cZnS) nanocrystals (NCs) doped with 0.2 at.% Mn²⁺ pulse annealed in vacuum and in air, up to 500 °C, were investigated by multifrequency electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The samples, prepared by a surfactant (Tween20)-assisted liquid–liquid reaction at pH = 6, consist of NCs with a tight size distribution around 3 nm and high crystallinity self-assembled into a stable mesoporous structure. The EPR spectra of the as prepared samples contain only the characteristic lines of the substitutional Mn²⁺(I) centers. No spectra from Mn²⁺ ions localized in (hydro)oxidized regions of the NCs surface were observed. The absence of such a surface layer could explain the stability of the cubic (sphalerite) structure observed by XRD and TEM in the investigated cZnS:Mn NCs annealed in vacuum up to 500 °C. The observation of the cubic-hexagonal transformation for the same NCs annealed in air supports the role of such layer in promoting this structural transformation. The narrowing of the EPR spectral lines above 200 °C with the increase in the average size of the cZnS:Mn crystallites was observed. The effect was more pronounced for the sample annealed in air. EPR also revealed the formation of minute amounts of substitutional Mn²⁺-type centers in a hexagonal ZnO structure at T ~ 300 °C, corresponding to the early stages of the thermally induced oxidation of the cZnS:Mn NCs.     

Kinetics of the Coordination Transformation for Preparation of Nanosized ZnS in a PVA Film

Abstract

This study was focused on the pervasion process of sulfion in a PVA–Zn²⁺ complex film. A diffusion equation for this process, based on the Fick first diffusion law, is suggested, which was in good agreement with the experimental results. The diffusion constant was 9.92 × 10^?6 cm²/sec, calculated by combining the model and the experimental results.

SiO2包覆对ZnS纳米材料发光的增强机制

为了明确团聚现象及表面性质对ZnS纳米材料发光性质的影响,采用SiO₂对ZnS材料进行了表面修饰,并对ZnS及ZnS/SiO₂复合材料的光学性质进行对比研究.采用吸收光谱分析了包覆前后光吸收性质的差异,发现SiO₂包覆后ZnS纳米材料的带边由333 nm红移至360 nm.为了研究ZnS纳米材料与ZnS/SiO₂纳米复合材料的光发射性质,分别对含纳米材料的水溶液样品及粉末样品的发光光谱进行了采集.对比研究的结果表明,SiO₂包覆后ZnS纳米材料在蓝紫光区的发光得到了明显增强.以氙灯作为激发光源所获得荧光光谱显示ZnS/SiO₂粉末样品发光的积分强度增大为原来的17.5倍,但相同条件下针对溶液样品的测试结果显示其发光强度只增大了1.1倍,这种增强可用SiO₂的存在抑制了ZnS纳米粒子间的团聚来解释,且这一推断由325 nm紫外激光激发下获得的光致发光数据进行了验证.     

Mechanisms of martensitic transformations in boron nitride and conditions of their development

Abstract

The dependence of the pressure threshold of martensitic transformations on the disordering degree of starting structures is considered for graphite-like BN into diamond-like BN modifications transitions. The effect of loading conditions on transformation mechanisms of rhombohedral BN into zinc blende or wurtzite modifications is analyzed also. Analytical relations obtained allow to explain the experimental data and to predict a behavior of various graphite-like structures under different p, T conditions.     

Pressure induced phase transformations in alkali metal hydrides

Abstract

A three body potential approach(Singh and Singh, Phys. Rev. B39,761(1989)) has been described and applied to investigate the pressure induced phase transformation from B1 (NaCl-Structure) to B2 (CsCl-Structure) phases for the partially ionic alkali-metal hydrides (LiH, NaH and KH). Our calculated values of the phase transition pressures and the associated volume collapses for NaH and KH are in reasonably good agreement with their experimental data. The variations of the relative volumes (V(P)/V(O)) with pressure for both B1 and B2 phases, have shown no phase transition upto 140 GPa in LiH. This feature is in agreement with the experimental observations.

Improved photoluminescence of ZnS:Mn nanocrystals by microwave assisted growth of ZnS shell

The photoluminescence (PL) of ZnS:Mn nanocrystals was improved greatly by microwave assisted growth of ZnS shell. Under optimized conditions, the luminescence quantum yield of ZnS:Mn nanocrystals increased from 2.8% to 12.1% after the growth of the ZnS shell. Time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopic and electron paramagnetic resonance measurements indicate that the improvement of the dispersivity of the doped Mn ions is responsible for the PL enhancement. Growth of the ZnS shell not only facilitated the diffusion of Mn ions during microwave irradiation but also prohibited the segregation of Mn ions on the particle surface. As a result, more isolated Mn²⁺ ions were produced after the growth of the ZnS shell, and thus the orange luminescence of ZnS:Mn nanocrystals was enhanced greatly.

Oxygen codoping of ZnS:Tb,F electroluminescent thin film

Thin films of ZnS:Tb,F were sputter deposited from a ZnS:TbF₃ target in an oxygen-argon ambient. The highest electroluminescent brightness (82 cd/m² at 60 Hz) was measured from ZnS:Tb,F films with a 3.6 at% oxygen concentration. Oxygen concentrations above or below this concentration resulted in sharp decreases in brightness (56 cd/m² at 2.2 at% oxygen, and 42 cd/m² at 8.1 at% oxygen). The brightness improvement by oxygen codoping between 0 and 3.6 at% results from increased conduction charge with increasing oxygen concentrations. The brightness decrease for oxygen >3.6 at% is attributed to decreases of both excitation and radiative efficiencies. Improved electroluminescent brightness from oxygen codoping during sputter deposition of ZnS:Tb,F films was equivalent to the improvement observed in films deposited from a ZnS:TbOF target.

Raman spectroscopy of ZnS nanostructures

We report Raman scattering results of wurtzite ZnS nanowires, nanocombs, and nanobelts. The Raman spectrum obtained from ZnS nanowires exhibits first‐order phonon modes at 272, 284, and 350 cm⁻¹, corresponding to A₁/E₁ transverse optical, E₂ transverse optical, and A₁/E₁ longitudinal optical phonons, respectively. Several multiphonon modes are also observed. The longitudinal optical phonon mode varies in wavenumber for nanocombs and nanobelts, indicating that the residual strain varies during the morphological change from ZnS nanowires to nanocombs and ultimately to nanobelts. Interestingly, a surface optical (SO) phonon mode varies in wavenumber depending on the shape and surface roughness of the ZnS nanostructures. The surface modulation wavelengths of the ZnS nanowires, nanocombs, and nanobelts are estimated using the SO phonon dispersion relations and the observed SO phonon wavenumbers.

Luminescence in ZnS: La and ZnS: (Mn,La) phosphors

The photo (PL) and electro (EL) luminescence in ZnS: MnLa and ZnS: La have been studied. The enhancement and quenching of emission bands have been observed on the simultaneous application of sinusoidal field and photons. The wave shape, voltage, frequency and temperature dependence of EL brightness have been reported. A study of the phosphorescence and thermoluminescence of these phosphors is also carried out and it is observed that the trap-depth changes slowly with temperature and activator concentration. An attempt has been made to calculate the trap depth by studying temperature dependence of EL brightness. The results are reported and discussed.
