Fine structure and isotope shift of the 3s4d 3 D-3s3p 3 P, 3s5d 3 D-3s3p 3 P and 3p 2 3 P-3s3p 3 P Transitions of MgI

Summary We report the measurements of the³ D(3s4d)-³ P(3s3p)³ D(3s5d)-³ P(3s3p), and³ P(3p ²)-³ P(3s3p) transition frequency of MgI, the fine-structure separation and isotope shift between²⁴Mg and²⁶Mg. The measurements have been performed in a metastable atomic beam; a good agreement is found for data already existing in the literature. The accuracy of the measurements reported in this paper is mainly limited by the Doppler broadening of theI ₂ transitions used as a reference and by the precision in the knowledge of the related wavelengths.

Improvement of Photoluminescence of Perovskite CH_3NH_3Pb I_3 by Adding Additional CH_3NH_3I during Grinding

The organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite CH_3NH_3PbI_3 has been a good candidate for many optoelectronic applications such as light-emitting diodes due to its unique properties.Optimizing the optical properties of the CH_3NH_3PbI_3 material to improve the device performance is a hot topic.Herein,a new strategy is proposed to enhance the light emission of CH_3NH_3PbI_3 phosphor effectively.By adding the reactant CH_3NH_3I powder in an appropriate proportion and simply grinding,the emission intensity of CH_3NH_3PbI_3 is greatly improved.The advantages of the proposed method are swiftness,simplicity and reproducibility,and no requirement for a complex organic ligand.The mechanism of this phenomenon is revealed by x-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscopy,energy dispersive spectroscopy,photoluminescence,and temperature-dependent photoluminescence.This study offers a unique insight for optimizing the optical properties of halide perovskite materials.     

Experimental observation of the Σ hypernuclei, ΣH and ΣC

The hypernuclei _Σ⁶H and _Σ¹⁶C were observed by the (K⁻, π⁺) reaction on targets of ⁶Li and liquid O, respectively, at 713 MeV/c incident K⁻ momentum. Structure is seen in _Σ⁶H which may be interpreted in terms of particle-hole excitations similar to the previously observed states in _Λ⁶Li. The inablitity to resolve individual Σ hypernuclear levels in _Σ¹⁶C, due in part to the excitation of non-coherent states as a result of the large momentum transfer of about 130 MeV/c, precludes the extraction of the Σ-nucleus spin-orbit potential strength. The Σ-nucleus well depth appears to be 7 to 10 MeV less than that for the Λ.     

Upper limit on the decay Σ(1385)→Σγ and cross section for γΣ→Λπ

Coherent Λπ⁻ production on Pb of 600 GeV Σ⁻ hyperons has been studied with the SELEX facility at Fermilab. Using the Primakoff formalism, we set a 90% CL upper limit on the radiative decay width Γ[Σ(1385)⁻→Σ⁻γ]<9.5 keV, and estimate the cross section for γΣ⁻→Λπ⁻ at  GeV to be 56±16 μb.     

O_3 fast and simple treatment-enhanced p-doped in Spiro-MeOTAD for CH_3NH_3I vapor-assisted processed CH_3NH_3PbI_3 perovskite solar cells

We demonstrate a simple and fast post-deposition treatment with high process compatibility on the hole transport material(HTM) Spiro-MeOTAD in vapor-assisted solution processed methylammonium lead triiodide(CH_3NH_3PbI_3)-based solar cells. The prepared Co-doped p-type Spiro-MeOTAD films are treated by O_3 at room temperature for 5 min,10 min, and 20 min, respectively, prior to the deposition of the metal electrodes. Compared with the traditional oxidation of Spiro-MeOTAD films overnight in dry air, our fast O_3 treatment of HTM at room temperature only needs just 10 min,and a relative 40.3% increment in the power conversion efficiency is observed with respect to the result of without-treated perovskite solar cells. This improvement of efficiency is mainly attributed to the obvious increase of the fill factor and short-circuit current density, despite a slight decrease in the open-circuit voltage. Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy(UPS) and Hall effect measurement method are employed in our study to determine the changes of properties after O_3 treatment in HTM. It is found that after the HTM is exposed to O_3, its p-type doping level is enhanced. The enhancement of conductivity and Hall mobility of the film, resulting from the improvement in p-doping level of HTM, leads to better performances of perovskite solar cells. Best power conversion efficiencies(PCEs) of 13.05% and 16.39% are achieved with most properly optimized HTM via CH_3NH_3I vapor-assisted method and traditional single-step method respectively.

Modulated magnetic structures of ErPb3, HoPb3, ErTl3 and HoTl3

Neutron diffraction experiments have been carried out on the magnetically ordered phases of ErPb₃, HoPb₃, ErTl₃ and HoTl₃. The magnetic moments were found to be sinusoidally modulated with a propagation vector of (0, 0.2, 0.5) for the Pb-compounds and (0.38, 0.38, 0.16) for the Tl-compounds.Work supported by the Bundesministerium für Forschung und Technologie     

Infrared spectra of matrix isolated BH3NH3, BD3ND3, and BH3ND3

The infrared spectra of ammonia-borane, BH₃NH₃, and two of its deuterated isotropic species, BD₃ND₃ and BH₃ND₃, isolated in argon matrix at liquid hydrogen temperature have been measured. Well resolved bands for these three isotopic species have been observed for all the fundamentals. A complete frequency assignment based on C₃v molecular symmetry has been made. A set of force constants have been calculated from the data for the two isotopes BH₃NH₃ and BD₃ND₃ using a valence force field. The agreement between experiment and frequencies calculated from these force constants for the mixed isotopic species, BH₃ND₃, substantiates the present assignment.     

E-T phase diagrams of a solid solution of the multicomponent PbZn1/3Nb2/3O3-PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3-PbNi1/3Nb2/3O3-PbTiO3 system near the morphotropic phase boundary

The specific features of the dielectric and pyroelectric responses of a solid solution in the barium-doped multicomponent yPbZn_1/3Nb_2/3O₃-mPbMg_1/3Nb_2/3O₃-nPbNi_1/3Nb_2/3O₃-xPbTiO₃ system of the composition y = 0.0982, m = 0.4541, n = 0.1477, and x = 0.3 near the morphotropic phase boundary have been investigated. It has been assumed that the maxima revealed in the dependences of the reversible permittivity on the electric field strength with both the forward and backward changes in the field (E ₌) are associated with the induced phase transition. Based on the experimental results, the E-T phase diagrams are constructed in the temperature range from ?100 to 150°C for different temperature-field regimes: (i) variation in the electric field E ₌ at a fixed temperature of the sample and (ii) variation in the temperature of the sample at a constant value of E ₌. It has been found that there is a singular point in the E-T phase diagram and that, in the vicinity of this point, the dielectric and pyroelectric responses of the studied ceramics exhibit specific features.     

Luminescence properties of Nd3+, Sm3+ and Eu3+ intercalated CdPS3

Nd³⁺, Sm³⁺ and Eu³⁺ have been intercalated by cation exchange into CdPS₃. The photoluminescence and IR spectra show the creation of cadmium cation vacancies. Crystal field analysis indicates that the rare earths have entered the intralamellar vacancies and formed a complex defect center with C₂ or lower symmetry.     

Cooperative energy transfer and frequency upconversion in Yb3+-Tb 3+ and Nd 3+-Yb 3+-Tb 3+ codoped GdAl3(BO3)4 phosphors

Polycrystalline GdAl₃(BO₃)₄ phosphors codoped with Yb³⁺/Tb³⁺ and/or Nd³⁺/Yb³⁺/Tb³⁺ have been synthesized by combustion method. Upon excitation with a 980 nm laser diode, an intense green upconversion luminescence has been observed in GdAl₃(BO₃)₄:Yb,Tb phosphor. The quadratic dependence of the luminescence on the pump-laser power indicating a cooperative energy transfer process. Meanwhile, it is noticed that upon excitation with 808 nm laser diode, intense luminescence has clearly been detected in GdAl₃(BO₃)₄:Nd,Yb,Tb phosphor. The luminescence intensity exhibits also a quadratic dependence on incident pump-laser power. However, no green-emission has been observed in GdAl₃(BO₃)₄ phosphors codoped with Yb³⁺/Tb³⁺ or Nd³⁺/Tb³⁺ respectively upon excited at 808 nm laser diode. A proposed upconversion mechanism involving energy transfer from Nd³⁺ to Yb³⁺, and then a cooperative energy transfer process from two excited Yb³⁺ to Tb³⁺ has been presented.     

The Li(K, π)ΣH reaction and narrow Σ states

Small-angle cross sections are calculated for ⁶Li(K⁻, π⁺)_Σ⁶H at 720 MeV/c, in order to intepret the data of the preceding paper. Due to the spin-isospin selectivity of ΣN → ΛN conversion, the substitution 1s_N → 1s_Σ leads to a narrow resonance high in the Σ continuum. Further tests of selectivity with ^3,4He targets are suggested. The energy shifts of Σ states which arise from the spin-isospin dependence of the ΣN interaction are discussed.

EPR of Er3+, Nd3+, and Ce3+ ions in YAlO3 single crystals

EPR spectra of the Er³⁺, Nd³⁺, and Ce³⁺ ions substituting for the Y³⁺ ion in the YAlO₃ yttrium orthoaluminate lattice are studied. The EPR spectra of these rare-earth ions are described by a spin Hamiltonian of rhombic symmetry with an effective spin S=1/2. The principal values of the g tensors were determined from an analysis of the angular dependences of the EPR spectra. The orientation of the local magnetic axes of paramagnetic centers relative to the YAlO₃ crystallographic directions are shown to depend on the actual rare-earth species. The EPR spectra exhibit a hyperfine structure due to the ¹⁶⁷Er, ¹⁴³Nd, and ¹⁴⁵Nd odd isotopes, which permitted unambiguous identification of these spectra. The hyperfine coupling constants for the odd erbium and neodymium isotopes are determined.     

The gas phase infrared band contours of s-triazine and s-triazine-d3: The fundamentals of C3N3H3 and C3N3D3 and some overtone and combination bands of C3N3H3

The systematic application of band contour techniques to account for most of the observed features of the ir spectra of s-triazine and s-triazine-d₃ have been made as well as a critique as to the limitations of such methods. The experimental and computer methods used to study the gas phase infrared band contours of s-triazine and s-triazine-d₃ are out-lined. Contours of the five E′ fundamentals of s-triazine have been recorded under moderate resolution and analyzed to give the Coriolis constants $\text{ζ}{}_{\mathrm{i}}{}^{\mathrm{z}}$, i = 6–10. The effects of l-resonance are very apparent for ν₈ and ν₉, in the form of holes in the Q branches of these bands. Under the highest resolution available, ν₆ and ν₁₀ also show l-resonance effects. Values of the l-doubling constants $\text{q}{}_{\mathrm{i}}{}^{\mathrm{(+)}}$ were obtained for these four fundamentals. One of the parallel A₂″ fundamentals of C₃H₃N₃ (ν₁₂) has also been studied. It lies close to ν₁₀(E′) and an A × E type of second-order Coriolis resonance may be the cause of the intensity enhancement observed in the inner wings of the ν₁₂ and ν₁₀ bands. Hot bands of the type (ν_i + nν₁₄ ? nν₁₄) have been observed in the contours of ν₈, ν₁₀, and ν₁₂. This is felt to be responsible for the large difference between our observed zeta sum (?1.30) and the theoretical sum (?1.00).The gas phase infrared band contours of the five E′ and 2A₂″ fundamentals of C₃N₃D₃ have also been recorded under moderate resolution. From P-R separations and by computer simulation of the contours, values of the Coriolis constants $\text{ζ}{}_{\mathrm{i}}{}^{\mathrm{z}}$ have been obtained for the E′ modes. The effects of l-resonance have been observed for ν₈(E′) and ν₁₀(E′) and values of the l-doubling constants $\text{q}{}_{\mathrm{i}}{}^{\mathrm{(+)}}$ have been estimated. An extensive series of hot bands of the type (ν₁₂ + nν₁₄ ? nν₁₄) has been observed in the contour of the ν₁₂ (A₂″) fundamental. The mass effect on the Coriolis constants has been discussed.Infrared band contours of the overtone 2ν₇ and seven degenerate E′ combination bands of C₃N₃H₃ have been recorded under moderate resolution. Analysis of these contours using the P-R separation method and computer simulation of the contours has given values of $\text{ζ}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>eff</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{z}}$ for these bands. Fermi resonance between 2ν₇ and ν₆ has been analyzed. The importance of considering both the observed contour as well as the observed frequency when assigning higher tone bands is illustrated.     

Colossal room-temperature magnetoresistance of La1/3Nd1/3Sr1/3MnO3 single crystals

Replacement of one half of the neodymium ions by lanthanum in Nd_2/3Sr_1/3MnO₃ is shown to result in a considerable increase in the Curie temperature. The single-crystal La_1/3Nd_1/3Sr_1/3MnO₃, whose Curie point lies at 315 K, has been found to exhibit a record-high magnetoresistance of 27% in a weak magnetic field of 8.4 kOe in the temperature range above room temperature.     

Epitaxial growth of Nb3Ge on Nb3Ir and Nb3Rh

This is a report on a cooperative research carried out in Stanford University to investigate the possibility of using epitaxy to prepare the high T_c superconductor Nb₃Ge in an A15 crystalline structure at the 3:1 stoichiometry.Nb₃Ir polycrystalline films with the A15 structure deposited on sapphire were used as substrates for the epitaxial growth of Nb₃Ge because of the favorable lattice parameter match. The experimental results clearly show that epitaxial growth indeed occurs and helps to extend the range of homogeneity of the A15 phase up to 26.3 at.% Ge as compared with the thermodynamic equilibrium boundary at 19 at.% Ge. We also used Nb₃Rh films as substrates and found them inferior to Nb₃Ir because of the multiphase nature of the films.In addition to extending the A15 phase boundary epitaxy results in a considerable rise in the superconducting transition temperature for Ge-rich samples together with a reduction in the transition width. The work suggests that polycrystalline epitaxy can be an important tool in the synthesis of thin-film intermetallic compounds.
