Structural characterizations of sol–gel synthesized TiO2 and Ce/TiO2 nanostructures

Mixed phase TiO₂ and Ce/TiO₂ samples were synthesized by a sol–gel method using different hydrolysis conditions. In pure TiO₂ samples, traditional X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Ti K-edge synchrotron X-ray absorption near edge structures (XANES) independently revealed their anatase/rutile phase ratios. XANES results further revealed a substantial amount of Ti atoms existed in other forms beside anatase and rutile TiO₂ in the sample synthesized by the low hydrolysis condition. An increase in the extent of the hydrolysis during the synthesis leads to an increased rutile ratio and a reduction in other forms. In Ce/TiO₂ samples, the crystal sizes were too small for XRD characterization. Only XANES could be used to characterize their phase ratios. It is found that adding Ce impedes rutile formation; leading to increased anatase ratio. The difference in the fundamental aspects of XRD and XANES techniques in providing the phase ratios is discussed.

Transparent nano composite PVA–TiO2 and PMMA–TiO2 thin films: Optical and dielectric properties

Transparent nano composite PVA–TiO₂ and PMMA–TiO₂ thin films were prepared by an easy and cost effective dip coating method. Al/PVA–TiO₂/Al and Al/PMMA–TiO₂/Al sandwich structures were prepared to study the dielectric behavior. The presence of metal–oxide (Ti–O) bond in the prepared films was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction pattern indicated that the prepared films were predominantly amorphous in nature. Scanning electron micrographs showed cluster of TiO₂ nanoparticles distributed over the film surface and also there were no cracks and pin holes on the surface. The transmittance of the films was above 80% in the visible region and the optical band gap was estimated to be about 3.77 eV and 3.78 eV respectively for PVA–TiO₂ and PMMA–TiO₂ films by using Tauc's plot. The determined refractive index (n) values were between 1.6 and 2.3. High value of dielectric constant (?′ = 24.6 and ?′ = 26.8) was obtained for the prepared composite films. The conduction in the composite films was found to be due to electrons. The observed amorphous structure, good optical properties and dielectric behavior of the prepared nano composite thin films indicated that these films could be used in opto-electronic devices and in thin film transistors.     

Bipolar resistive switching of solution processed TiO2–graphene oxide nanocomposite for nonvolatile memory applications

Hydrothermal synthesis of CdTe quantum dots–TiO2–graphene hybrid

CdTe–TiO₂–graphene nanocomposites were successfully synthesized via a simple and relatively general hydrothermal method. During the hydrothermal environment, GO was reduced to reduced graphene oxide (RGO), accompanying with the anchoring of TiO₂ nanoparticles on the surface of RGO. In the following process, CdTe quantum dots (QDs) were then in situ grown on the carbon basal planes. The morphologies and structural properties of the as-prepared composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and fluorescent spectroscopy. It is hoped that our current work could pave a way towards the fabrication of QDs–TiO₂–RGO hybrid materials.

The hybrid photocatalyst of TiO2–SiO2 thin film prepared from rice husk silica

The TiO₂–SiO₂ thin film was prepared by self-assembly method by mixing SiO₂ precursor with titanium precursor solution and aged to obtain a co-precipitation of silica and titanium crystals. Dip coating method was applied for thin film preparation on glass slide. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) of the self-assembly thin film had no characteristic property of SiO₂ and even anatase TiO₂ but indicated new crystal structure which was determined from the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer (FTIR) as a hybridized Ti–O–Si bonding. The surface area and surface volume of the self-assembly sample were increased when SiO₂ was incorporated into the film. The self-assembly TiO₂–SiO₂ thin film exhibited the enhanced photocatalytic decolorization of methylene blue (MB) dye. The advantages of SiO₂ are; (1) to increase the adsorbability of the film and (2) to provide the hydroxyl radical to promote the photocatalytic reaction. The self-assembly thin film with the optimum molar ratio (SiO₂:TiO₂) as 20:80 gave the best performance for photocatalytic decolorization of MB dye with the overall efficiency of 81%.

Resistive switching effect in metal–oxide–metal structures with ZnO:Li oxide layer

The resistive switching effect in metal–oxide–metal (MOM) structures has been investigated, where the 10% Li-doped ZnO layer was used as an oxide layer, as well as Pt and 20% fluorine doped SnO₂ (SnO₂:F) were used as a bottom electrodes. The current–voltage (I–V) and switching (I–t) characteristics of Ag/ZnO:Li/Pt and Ag/ZnO:Li/SnO₂:F structures were investigated. The unipolar resistive switching is detected in the structures with the Pt, while the use of transparent conductive SnO₂:F electrode instead of Pt, results to the bipolar memory effect.     

Surface reconstruction on stishovite SiO2,HfO2 and rutile TiO2 （001）

This paper systematically investigates the surface reconstruction processes and patterns on stishovite SiO 2,HfO 2 and rutile TiO 2 (001) by using classical molecular dynamics.It is found that these three surfaces relax instead of reconstruction at 0 K,and have little possibility to reconstruct below 40 K.Above 40 K,surface reconstructions take place as collective atomic motion which can be speeded by higher temperature or compressed strain.Several reconstruction patterns with approximate surface energies are found,and electrostatic potentials on them are also provided in comparison with possible microscopic results.

Magnetic and structural properties of CaO–SiO2–P2O5–Na2O–Fe2O3 glass ceramics

Magnetic properties of glass ceramics derived from glasses with composition 41CaO·(52−x)SiO₂·4P₂O₅·xFe₂O₃·3Na₂O (2?x?10 mol% iron oxide (Fe₂O₃)) are reported. Structural investigation revealed the presence of nanocrystalline magnetite phase in the heat-treated samples containing x?2 mol% Fe₂O₃. Magnetic hysteresis cycles of the glass-ceramic samples were obtained with a maximum applied field of ±20 kOe as well as a low field of ±500 Oe, in order to evaluate the potential of these glass ceramics for hyperthermia treatment of cancer. Samples with x>2 mol% of iron oxide exhibited magnetic behavior similar to soft magnetic materials with low coercivity. The evolution of magnetic properties in these samples as a function of iron oxide molar concentration is correlated with the amount and crystallite size of magnetite phase present in them.

Broadband near-IR emission and temperature dependence in Er/Tm co-doped Bi2O3–SiO2–Ga2O3 glasses

The broadband near-IR emission has been investigated in a series of Er/Tm co-doped Bi₂O₃–SiO₂–Ga₂O₃ (BSG) glasses with 800 nm laser diode as an excitation source. A broadband emission extending from 1350 to 1650 nm with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) around 165 nm is obtained in 0.2 wt% Er₂O₃ and 1.0 wt% Tm₂O₃ co-doped BSG glass. The fluorescence decay curves of glasses are measured and maximum energy transfer efficiency from Er³⁺ to Tm³⁺ reaches 71% when Tm³⁺ concentration is 1.0 wt%. The temperature dependence of the broadband emission spectra in Er³⁺–Tm³⁺ co-doped BSG glass is also recorded to further understand the energy-transfer processes between Er³⁺ and Tm³⁺. The present work suggests that Er/Tm co-doped BSG glasses can be a potential candidate for broadband integrated amplifier.
