Dielectric properties of Sb2O3 films

A study has been made of the dielectric constant, dielectric loss, electrical conductivity in weak and strong fields, and the dielectric strength of polycrystalline Sb₂O₃ films produced by vacuum evaporation. Electronic polarization is shown to dominate in these films. The nonlinear voltage dependence of the current in strong fields is easily explainable in terms of a Frenkel mechanism for electrostatic ionization. The film breakdown is due to impact ionization of impurities and the formation of a shower.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii Fizika, Vol. 12, No. 5, pp. 52–55, May, 1969.     

Kinetics of CW laser-induced crystallization and oxidation of thin,Sb, Se,and Sb2Se3 films in air

Thin films of Sb, Se and Sb₂Se₃ are deposited onto glass and irradiated by a cw-Ar⁺ laser beam. The kinetics of crystallization and oxidation are traced via the time dependence of optical reflectivity and temperature, T, of the irradiated zone. For Sb₂Se₃, transformations start abruptly when T attains a critical value, T _c, independently of the laser beam power. These T _c values are comparable to the ones observed under furnace annealing conditions.

Microstructure and oxidation behaviour of SiC fibre-reinforced Si3N4-AlN-Al2O3-Y2O3 matrix composites

A series of SiC fibre-reinforced Si₃N₄-AlN-Al₂O₃-Y₂O₃ matrix composites with different matrix compositions are fabricated by slurry infiltration followed by hot pressing at 1600°C for 30 min. The diffusion of yttrium and aluminium into fibres is apparent during the high temperature processing. All the as-processed composites show fracture with fibre pull-out. After heat treatment in air at 1000°C for 60 min, composites with minimal Y₂O₃ and Al₂O₃ in the matrix composition demonstrate the fracture behaviour with most extensive fibre pull-out. Composites with the highest aluminium and yttrium oxide content form an yttrium–aluminium–garnet phase and an aluminosilicate glassy phase. The latter phase provides an oxygen diffusion path, resulting in the removal of the carbon-rich interphase by oxidation. This results in catastrophic fracture without fibre pull-out after heat treatment of the composite in air.

Vibrational spectra of CaGa2O4, Ca2GeO4, CaIn2O4 and CaSnO3 prepared by electrospinning

CaGa₂O₄ nanofibers, Ca₂GeO₄ microfibers, CaIn₂O₄ nanorods, and CaSnO₃ nanofibers were synthesized by using an electrospinning technique. Structures and morphologies of the as-synthesized oxides were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. Raman and infrared spectra were also recorded and analyzed at room temperature. More significantly, nuclear site group analysis was carried out and the number of normal vibrational modes, Raman-active, and infrared-active optical phonon modes were obtained by theoretical calculation. Finally, vibrational assignments of the observed Raman peaks and infrared absorption bands were given based on the group theoretical analysis and experimental data from literature.     

Study of luminescence and optical resonances in Sb2O3 micro- and nanotriangles

Bimetallic clusters display new characteristics that could not be obtained by varying either the size of pure metallic systems or the composition of bulk bimetals alone. Coating of pre-deposited clusters by vapour deposition is a typical synthesis process of bimetallic clusters. Here, we have demonstrated that hierarchical, gold cluster-decorated copper clusters as well as both heterogeneous and homogeneous Cu?CAu bimetallic clusters (4.6 to 10.7?nm) can be prepared by coating pre-deposited, size-selected Cu₅₀₀₀ (4.6?±?0.2?nm) with Au evaporation at various temperatures. These bimetallic clusters were analyzed by aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy and associated electron energy loss spectroscopy. The results indicate that the growth of bimetallic clusters is controlled by a competition between nucleation and diffusion of the coating Au atoms.     

Emission Mössbauer studies of 57Co2+ and 119Sb5+ adsorbed on γ-Fe2O3 and NiFe2O4 surfaces

Summary Surface chemical states of⁵⁷Co²⁺ and¹¹⁹Sb⁵⁺ ions adsorbed on γ-Fe₂O₃ and NiFe₂O₄ were studied in the presence of the aqueous phase using the magnetic interaction between the substrates and⁵⁷Fe²⁺ or¹¹⁹Sn⁴⁺ arising from the adsorbed species. Two chemical forms were observed for the⁵⁷Co²⁺ adsorbed on γ-Fe₂O₃; one giving a peak in the high-field region and another giving a broad distribution in the lower fields, which were attributed to⁵⁷Co²⁺ at surfaceB sites of the spinel structure of γ-Fe₂O₃ and⁵⁷Co²⁺ species weakly bonded to the substrate, respectively. In case of the NiFe₂O₄ substrate, the latter species was dominant and was converted to the former by heating. Most of the¹¹⁹Sb⁵⁺ ions adsorbed on the γ-Fe₂O₃ and NiFe₂O₄ particles were found to have a certain magnetic interaction with the magnetically ordered ions of the substrates.

Anomalous diamagnetic transitions in Ba2Cu3O4Cl2 and Sr2Cu3O4Cl2 antiferromagnets

The magnetic properties of Ba₂Cu₃O₄Cl₂ and Sr₂Cu₃O₄Cl₂ oxychlorides have been studied. A spontaneous manifestation of diamagnetism has been found at quasi-zero and low fields. The temperature of these transitions coincides with the temperature of the antiferromagnetic ordering in Ba₂Cu₃O₄Cl₂ (T _NI ≈ 337 K) and Sr₂Cu₃O₄Cl₂ (T _NI ≈ 386 K). The recorded diamagnetic signal is ?10^?4 emu. It is comparable with the percentage of the superconducting phase in the sample. It is supposed that the arising superconductivity is due to the formation of the superconducting clusters with the direct overlap of the copper d orbitals owing to the frustration processes.     

Observation of stimulated Raman scattering in polar tetragonal crystals of barium antimony tartrate trihydrate,Ba[Sb2((+)C4H2O6)2]·3H2O

The non‐centrosymmetric polar tetragonal (P 4₁) barium antimony tartrate trihydrate, Ba[Sb₂((+)C₄H₂O₆)₂]·3H₂O, was found to be an attractive novel semi‐organic crystal manifesting numerous χ ⁽²⁾‐ and χ ⁽³⁾‐nonlinear optical interactions. In particular, with picosecond single‐ and dual‐wavelength pumping SHG and THG via cascaded parametric four‐wave processes were observed. High‐order Stokes and anti‐Stokes lasing related to two SRS‐promoting vibration modes of the crystal, with ω_SRS1 ≈ 575 cm^?1 and ω_SRS2 ≈ 2940 cm^?1, takes place. Basing on a spontaneous Raman investigation an assignment of the two SRS‐active vibration modes is discussed.

     

A Raman spectroscopic study of the antimony mineral klebelsbergite Sb4O4(OH)2(SO4)

Many minerals based upon antimonite and antimonate anions remain to be studied. Most of the bands occur in the low wavenumber region, making the use of infrared spectroscopy difficult. This problem can be overcome by using Raman spectroscopy. The Raman spectra of the mineral klebelsbergite Sb₄O₄(OH)₂(SO₄) were studied and related to the structure of the mineral. The Raman band observed at 971 cm⁻¹ and a series of overlapping bands are observed at 1029, 1074, 1089, 1139 and 1142 cm⁻¹ are assigned to the SO₄²⁻ν₁ symmetric and ν₃ antisymmetric stretching modes, respectively. Two Raman bands are observed at 662 and 723 cm⁻¹, which are assigned to the Sb O ν₃ antisymmetric and ν₁ symmetric stretching modes, respectively. The intense Raman bands at 581, 604 and 611 cm⁻¹ are assigned to the ν₄ SO₄²⁻ bending modes. Two overlapping bands at 481 and 489 cm⁻¹ are assigned to the ν₂ SO₄²⁻ bending mode. Low‐intensity bands at 410, 435 and 446 cm⁻¹ may be attributed to O Sb O bending modes. The Raman band at 3435 cm⁻¹ is attributed to the O H stretching vibration of the OH units. Multiple Raman bands for both SO₄²⁻ and Sb O stretching vibrations support the concept of the non‐equivalence of these units in the klebelsbergite structure. It is proposed that the two sulfate anions are distorted to different extents in the klebelsbergite structure. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Shape of the Cu(2) NQR spectra in YBa2Cu3O7, TmBa2Cu3O7 and TmBa2Cu4O8

We present a study of shape of the Cu(2) NQR spectra in YBa₂Cu₃O₇, TmBa₂Cum₃O₇, and TmBa₂Cu₄O₈ compounds at temperatures of 4.2–300 K. The results of the quantitative analysis lead us to conclude that the shape of the Cu(2) NQR spectra in all the samples studied can be described in the framework of the “motional narrowing” model, which implies that the Cu(2) nucleus possesses two different NQR frequencies between which it can rapidly jump. The difference in frequencies seems to be related to the charge-stripe correlations in CuO₂ planes resulting in a dynamical modulation of the electric field gradients at the Cu(2) nuclei.

Process-parameter optimization of Sb2O3 films in the ultraviolet and visible region for interferometric applications

The influence of different evaporation process parameters on the optical properties and constants of thin Sb₂O₃ films in the ultraviolet and visible region from 250 to 800 nm has been investigated. The most dominant parameters, namely the substrate temperature, rate of evaporation, and ambient oxygen pressure used during the deposition process and the post-annealing temperatures were optimised which resulted in low loss, dense and homogeneous Sb₂O₃ films. The optical constants and band gaps of these films were evaluated using their interference modulated transmittance spectra in case of both homogeneous and inhomogeneous conditions. Optimized films have been successfully used in developing multilayer high reflecting coatings for Fabry-Perot etalons along with the cryolite (Na₃AlF₆) films.     

Reaction mechanism of elemental mercury oxidation to HgSO4 during SO2/SO3 conversion over V2O5/TiO2 catalyst

Experiments and density functional theory calculations were conducted to uncover the reaction chemistry of Hg⁰ oxidation during SO₂/SO₃ conversion over V₂O₅/TiO₂ catalyst. The results show that SO₂ promotes Hg⁰ oxidation over V₂O₅/TiO₂ catalyst with the assistance of oxygen. The promotional effect is dependent on the reaction temperature, and is associated with the bimolecular reaction between Hg⁰ and SO₃ over V₂O₅/TiO₂ catalyst. SO₂ can be oxidized to SO₃ which has high oxidation ability for Hg⁰ oxidation. SO₂/SO₃ conversion proceeds through a three-step reaction process in the sequence of SO₂ adsorption → SO₂ oxidation → SO₃ desorption. SO₂ oxidation presents an activation energy barrier of 223.84 kJ/mol. HgSO₄ species is formed from the bimolecular reaction between Hg⁰ and SO₃ over V₂O₅/TiO₂ catalyst. Hg⁰ oxidation by SO₃ over V₂O₅/TiO₂ catalyst occurs through three reaction pathways, which are energetically favorable for HgSO₄ formation. SO₂* → SO₃* is identified as the rate-determining step of HgSO₄ formation. During Hg⁰ oxidation by SO₃ over V₂O₅/TiO₂ catalyst, HgSO₄ desorption is a highly endothermic reaction process and requires a higher external energy. The proposed skeletal reaction network can be used to well understand the reaction mechanism of Hg⁰ oxidation during SO₂/SO₃ conversion over V₂O₅/TiO₂ catalyst.

High pressure transport characteristics of Bi2Te3, Sb2Te3, and BiSbTe3

This paper presents ambient and high pressure measurements of transport properties of the Bi₂Te₃–Sb₂Te₃ series of materials. The electrical resistivity, thermal conductivity, and Seebeck coefficient have been measured on both end compounds and the direct solid solution of the two at pressure up to 10 GPa. An additional discussion involving the high pressure structure will be presented. From this, it was determined that these materials undergo at least two structural phase transitions between 0 and 20 GPa and a discussion is presented regarding this and the changes in the transport properties.
