Effects of Al and Ti/Cu on Synthesis of Type-IIa Diamond Crystals in Ni70Mn25Co5-C System at HPHT

High-quality type-Ⅱa gem diamond crystals are successfully synthesized in a NiToMn25Co5-C system by temperature gradient method （TGM） at about 5.5 GPa and 1560 K. Al and Ti/Cu are used as nitrogen getters respectively. While nitrogen getter Al or Ti/Cu is added into the synthesis system, some inclusions and caves tend to be introduced into the crystals. When Al is added into the solvent alloy, we would hardly gain high-quality type-Ⅱa diamond crystals with nitrogen concentration Nc 〈 1 ppm because of the reversible reaction of Al and N at high pressure and high temperature （HPHT）. Piowever, when Ti/Cu is added into the solvent alloy, high-quality type-Ⅱa diamond crystals with Nc 〈 1 ppm can be grown by decreasing the growth rate of diamonds.     

Nitrogen Dioxide Sensing Properties and Mechanism of Copper Phthalocyanine Film

Copper phthalocyanine film, a p-type organic semiconductor, is synthesized by vacuum sublimation and its surface morphology is characterized by SEM. A silicon-based copper phthalocyanine film gas sensor for NO2 detection is fabricated by MEMS technology. The results show that the resistance and sensitivity of copper phthalocyanine film decrease obviously as the NO2 concentration increases from Oppm to lOOppm. However, the sensitivity nearly keeps a constant of O. 158 between 30 ppm and 70 ppm. The best working temperature of the gas sensor is 90℃ for NO2 gas concentrations of lOppm, 20ppm and 30ppm, which is much lower than that of general metal oxide gas sensor.     

Nitrogen-Doped Chemical Vapour Deposited Diamond： a New Material for Room-Temperature Solid State Maser

Electron spin resonance （ESR） in polycrystalline diamond films grown by dc arc-jet and microwave plasma chemical vapour deposition is studied. The films with nitrogen impurity concentration up to 8 × 10^18 cm^-3 are also characterized by Raman, cathodoluminescence and optical absorption spectra. The ESR signal from P1 centre with g-factor of 2.0024 （nitrogen impurity atom occupying C site in diamond lattice） is found to exhibit an inversion with increasing the microwave power in an H102 resonator. The spin inversion effect could be of interest for further consideration of N-doped diamonds as a medium for masers operated at room temperature.

 利用高压合成方法,在压力为2 GPa、温度为900 K的条件下,以NaN₃作为添加剂,成功地合成出了Na填充型的方钴矿化合物CoSb₃。X射线衍射（XRD）研究结果表明,当Na填充量达80%时,合成的Na填充型方钴矿化合物CoSb₃仍为单相方钴矿结构,没有Na和NaN₃等杂质峰。在室温下对不同Na填充量的样品进行了电阻率（ρ）和Seebeck系数（α）的测试,研究了不同Na填充量对样品电阻率、Seebeck系数和功率因子（α²σ）的影响。研究结果表明：室温下,样品的电导率随Na填充量的增加而增大,Seebeck系数的绝对值随Na填充量的增加而减小。当Na填充量为0.4时,样品获得了最高的功率因子（8.72 μW·cm^-1·K^-2）,此值高于He等报道的利用热压法制备的CoSb₃的值。填充量对样品电输运特性的影响规律与Pei等研究的K填充型CoSb₃的研究结果相一致。上述研究结果表明,高压合成技术有利于提高填充型方钴矿化合物的填充量,并有效地提高样品的电输运特性。     

Growth of gem-grade nitrogen-doped diamond crystals heavily doped with the addition of Ba（N3）2

Additive Ba(N 3) 2 as a source of nitrogen is heavily doped into the graphite-Fe-based alloy system to grow nitrogendoped diamond crystals under a relatively high pressure (about 6.0 GPa) by employing the temperature gradient method.Gem-grade diamond crystal with a size of around 5 mm and a nitrogen concentration of about 1173 ppm is successfully synthesised for the first time under high pressure and high temperature in a China-type cubic anvil highpressure apparatus.The growth habit of diamond crystal under the environment with high degree of nitrogen doping is investigated.It is found that the morphologies of heavily nitrogen-doped diamond crystals are all of octahedral shape dominated by {111} facets.The effects of temperature and duration on nitrogen concentration and form are explored by infrared absorption spectra.The results indicate that nitrogen impurity is present in diamond predominantly in the dispersed form accompanied by aggregated form,and the aggregated nitrogen concentration in diamond increases with temperature and duration.In addition,it is indicated that nitrogen donors are more easily incorporated into growing crystals at higher temperature.Strains in nitrogen-doped diamond crystal are characterized by micro-Raman spectroscopy.Measurement results demonstrate that the undoped diamond crystals exhibit the compressive stress,whereas diamond crystals heavily doped with the addition of Ba(N 3) 2 display the tensile stress.     

Effects of additive NaN_3 on the HPHT synthesis of large single crystal diamond grown by TGM

In this paper,large single crystal diamond with perfect shape and high nitrogen concentration approximately 1671-1742 ppm was successfully synthesized by temperature gradient method (TGM) under high pressure and high temperature (HPHT).The HPHT synthesis conditions were about 5.5 GPa and 1500-1550 K.Sodium azide (NaN3) with different amount was added as the source of nitrogen into the synthesis system of high pure graphite and kovar alloy.The effects of additive NaN3 on crystal growth habit were investigated in detail.The crystal morphology,nitrogen concentration and existing form in synthetic diamond were characterized by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and infrared (IR) absorption spectra,respectively.The results show that with an increase of the content of NaN3 added in the synthesis system,the region of synthesis temperature for high-quality diamond becomes narrow,and crystal growth rate is restricted,whereas the nitrogen concentration in synthetic diamond increases.Nitrogen exists in diamond mainly in dispersed form (C-centers) and partially aggregated form (A-centers).The defects occur more frequently on crystal surface when excessive NaN3 is added in the synthesis system.

Dependence of nitrogen vacancy color centers on nitrogen concentration in synthetic diamond

Crystallization of diamond with different nitrogen concentrations was carried out with a FeNiCo-C system at pressure of 6.5 GPa. As the nitrogen concentration in diamond increased, the color of the synthesized diamond crystals changed from colorless to yellow and finally to atrovirens (a dark green). All the Raman peaks for the obtained crystals were located at about 1330 cm^-1 and contained only the sp³ hybrid diamond phase. Based on Fourier transform infrared results, the nitrogen concentration of the colorless diamond was < 1 ppm and absorption peaks corresponding to nitrogen impurities were not detected. However, the C-center nitrogen concentration of the atrovirens diamond reached 1030 ppm and the value of A-center nitrogen was approximately 180 ppm with a characteristic absorption peak at 1282 cm^-1. Furthermore, neither the NV⁰ nor the NV^- optical color center existed in diamond crystal with nitrogen impurities of less than 1 ppm by photoluminescence measurement. However, Ni-related centers located at 695 nm and 793.6 nm were observed in colorless diamond. The NE8 color center at 793.6 nm has more potential for application than the common NV centers. NV⁰ and NV^- optical color centers coexist in diamond without any additives in the synthesis system. Importantly, only the NV^- color center was noticed in diamond with a higher nitrogen concentration, which maximized optimization of the NV^-/NV⁰ ratio in the diamond structure. This study has provided a new way to prepare diamond containing only NV^- optical color centers.     

Raman and IR study of high-pressure atomic phase of nitrogen

Atomic phase of nitrogen has been studied up to pressure 250 GPa and temperature 3300 K using a shear diamond anvil cell. This phase was synthesized both from azide NaN₃ and molecular N₂. The atomic phase has been interpreted as a cubic gauche (CG) structure by means of Raman and IR absorption spectroscopy procedures. The phase transition to CG begins at pressure 50 GPa and room temperature for NaN₃ and at 127 GPa for N₂. Observed pressure dependencies and degeneration of phonon modes, the selection rules for IR and Raman spectra, as well equilibrium pressure between molecular N₂ and atomic phase of nitrogen agree well with theoretical predictions for CG.     

金刚石集群NV色心的光谱特征及浓度定量分析

金刚石NV-色心具有优越的光致发光特性,可实现高灵敏度物理量探测。其中,NV-色心的浓度是影响其宏观领域物理量探测灵敏度的重要因素之一。分析了金刚石在NV-色心制备过程中产生的发光缺陷,研究了不同的电子注入剂量与NV-色心浓度的关系。首先,对金刚石进行电子辐照并高温真空退火,制备了NV-色心;然后,利用拉曼光谱仪测试了金刚石在电子辐照前、电子辐照后及退火后三个阶段中的荧光光谱,分析了金刚石在NV-色心制备过程中的光谱特性;最后,对生成的NV-色心的浓度进行了估算,并探究了不同电子注入剂量对NV-色心浓度的影响规律。结果表明,金刚石经电子注入后生成了524.7,541.1,578和648.1 nm发光中心。其中,HPHT合成金刚石经电子注入后普遍存在524.7 nm中心。电子注入后的金刚石经高温(≥800 ℃)真空(≥10-7 Pa)退火后,空位自由移动,不稳定的缺陷消失,当空位靠近氮原子时被束缚而形成氮空位色心。对于氮含量100 ppm的金刚石,当电子注入产生的空位含量小于120 ppm(2.1×1019 cm-3)时,NV-色心浓度与电子注入生成空位的含量的关系符合Boltzmann分布。该研究为利用氮含量100 ppm的金刚石实现定量NV-色心浓度的制备提供了参考依据,为NV-色心在宏观物理量精密测量的应用奠定了基础。

Blue-to-Orange Tunable Luminescence from Europium Doped Yttrium--Silicon--Oxide--Nitride Phosphors

Europium-doped yttrium-silicon-oxide-nitride phosphors are synthesized by carbothermal reduction and nitridation method. The crystal structure of the phosphors changed gradually from oxide Y2Si2O7 to nitride YSi3N5 state with increasing dosage of Si3N4 and carbon powder.

The YSi3N5：EU phosphor shows a broad emission band centred at 595nm with some sharp peaks of Eu^3＋ with 325nm excitation. The absorption of the studied phosphors increases from 450 to 700hm with an increment in nitrogen content. Blue-to-orange tunable luminescence is observed with 390 nm excitation.     

D-D结合型金刚石聚晶的高压合成研究

 为了探索功能金刚石聚晶的高压合成，使其具有优异的透红外和散热性能，我们采取了提高合成压力、温度和尽量减少结合剂的办法进行试验。首先探索如何使合成的金刚石聚晶具有D-D型结合，然后尽量减少结合剂，以合成出高密度的D-D型金刚石聚晶。为了尽量减少结合剂含量，不用粉末混合法，而是分别采用7~14 μm和63~80 μm粒度的金刚石为原料，与纯Ni或Ni₇₀Mn₂₅Co₅合金为基底积层组装，通过高温高压下触媒金属向金刚石晶粒间渗透进行烧结生长。在6.3 GPa的压力和1 440~1 650 ℃的不同温度下分别保持3~40 min。所得到的金刚石聚晶在触媒金属渗透得充分的区域形成了D-D结合型结构，而没有发现碳化物生成及金刚石表面石墨化等现象。     

Synthesis and characterization of a single diamond crystal with a high nitrogen concentration

In this paper, we explore diamond synthesis with a series of experiments using an Fe-Ni catalyst and a P₃N₅ additive in the temperature range of 1250-1550 ℃ and the pressure range of 5.0-6.3 GPa. We also investigate the influence of nitrogen on diamond crystallization. Our results show that the synthesis conditions (temperature and pressure) increase with the amount of P₃N₅additive increasing. The nitrogen impurity can significantly influence the diamond morphology. The diamonds stably grow into strip and lamellar shapes in the nitrogen-rich environment. The Fourier-transform infrared spectrum shows that the nitrogen concentration increases rapidly with the content of P₃N₅additive increasing. By spectrum analysis, we find that with the increase of the nitrogen concentration, the Ib-type nitrogen atoms can aggregate in the A-centre form. The highest A-centre nitrogen concentration is approximately 840 ppm.

 研究了炸药爆轰合成的纳米金刚石粉在高温（约1 600 K）、高压（5.2 GPa）条件下的行为。将纳米金刚石粉与粉末合金（Ni₇₀Mn₂₅Co₅、100^#）混合、压制成圆片,与合金片 （Ni₇₀Mn₂₅Co₅）和人造石墨片一起交替放入高温高压合成腔体内,进行高温高压实验。实验结果表明：在高温高压条件下,纳米金刚石粉不能长大,反而石墨化了;在相同的高压和保温时间条件下,随着温度的降低,纳米金刚石粉的石墨化程度减弱,纳米金刚石粉的纳米颗粒长大,可长成0.1 mm尺寸的金刚石颗粒（温度为1 070 K左右）。而在此条件下,人造石墨不能合成金刚石,一般金刚石晶体要变成石墨相。这进一步表明,纳米金刚石颗粒表面的活性使得它可以在较低的温度下长成较大颗粒的金刚石。     

Luminescent Characteristics of LiSrBO3：Eu3＋ Phosphor for White Light Emitting Diode

LiSrBO3 ：Eu3＋ phosphor is synthesized by a high solid-state reaction method, and its luminescent characteristics are investigated. The emission and excitation spectra of LiSrBO3：Eu3＋ phosphors exhibit that the phosphors can be effectively excited by near ultraviolet （401 nm） and blue （471 nm） light, and emit 615nm red light. The effect of Eua＋ concentration on the emission spectrum of LiSrBO3：Eu3＋ phosphor is studied; the results show that the emission intensity increases with increasing Eu3＋ concentration, and then decreases because of concentration quenching. It reaches the maximum at 3mol%, and the concentration self-quenching mechanism is the dipoledipole interaction according to the Dexter theory. Under the conditions of charge compensation Li＋, Na＋ or K＋ incorporated in LiSrBO3, the luminescent intensities of LiSrBO3 ：Eua＋ phosphor are enhanced.

Effect of Carbon Source with Different Graphitization Degrees on the Synthesis of Diamond

Using three kinds of graphites with different graphitization degrees as carbon source and Fe-Ni alloy powder as catalyst, the synthesis of diamond crystals is performed in a cubic anvil high-pressure and high-temperature apparatus （SPD-6 × 1200）. Diamond crystals with perfect hexoctahedron shape are successfully synthesized at pressure from 5.0 to 5.5GPa and at temperature from 1570 to 1770K. The synthetic conditions, nucleation, morphology, inclusion and granularity of diamond crystals are studied. The temperature and pressure increase with the increase of the graphitization degree of graphite. The quantity of nucleation and granularity ofdiamonds decreases with the increase of graphitization degree of graphite under the same synthesis conditions. Moreover, according to the results of the M6ssbauer spectrum, the composition of inclusions is mainly Fe3 C and Fe-Ni alloy phases in diamond crystals synthesized with three kinds of graphites.
