Synthesis and characterization of a Ruddlesden-Popper compound: Sr3FeMoO7

A powder sample of Sr₃FeMoO₇ was synthesized by solid-state reaction in reduced atmosphere (5% H₂/Ar). At room temperature, Sr₃FeMoO₇ crystallizes in a typical Ruddlesden-Popper (n=2) structure in the space group I4/mmm, and . The structure refinement indicates that the Fe and Mo ions are randomly distributed in a single B-site with small fraction of B-site and oxygen vacancies. At low temperature, long-range magnetic interaction was observed. The antiferromagnetic magnetic interaction can be described with a large unit cell, and c_m=c_n, in the magnetic space group An′.     

La doping of the Sr2CoWO6 double perovskite: A structural and magnetic study

La-doped Sr₂CoWO₆ double perovskites have been prepared in air in polycrystalline form by solid-state reaction. These materials have been studied by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), neutron powder diffraction (NPD) and magnetic susceptibility. The structural refinement was performed from combined XRPD and NPD data (D2B instrument, λ=1.594 Å). At room temperature, the replacement of Sr²⁺ by La³⁺ induces a change of the tetragonal structure, space group I4/m of the undoped Sr₂CoWO₆ into the distorted monoclinic crystal structure, space group P2₁/n, Z=2. The structure of La-doped phases contains alternating CoO₆ and (Co/W)O₆ octahedra, almost fully ordered. On the other hand, the replacement of Sr²⁺ by La³⁺ induces a partial replacement of W⁶⁺ by Co²⁺ into the B sites, i.e. Sr_2−xLa_xCoW_1−yCo_yO₆ (y=x/4) with segregation of SrWO₄. Magnetic and neutron diffraction measurements indicate an antiferromagnetic ordering below T_N=24 K independently of the La-substitution.     

Electronic parameters of Sr2Nb2O7 and chemical bonding

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements were carried out on a strontium pyroniobate (Sr₂Nb₂O₇) powder sample, which was synthesized using standard solid-state method. The binding energy (BE) differences between the O 1s and cation core levels, Δ(O-Nb)=BE(O 1s)-BE(Nb 3d_5/2) and Δ(O-Sr)=BE(O 1s)-BE(Sr 3d_5/2), were used to characterize the valence electron transfer on the formation of the Nb-O and Sr-O bonds. The chemical bonding effects were considered on the basis of our XPS results for Sr₂Nb₂O₇ and earlier published structural and XPS data for other Sr- or Nb-containing oxide compounds. The new data point for Sr₂Nb₂O₇ is consistent with the previously derived relationship for a set of Nb⁵⁺-niobates that Δ(O-Nb) increases with increasing mean Nb-O bond distance, L(Nb-O). A new empirical relationship between Δ(O-Sr) and L(Sr-O) was also obtained. Interestingly, the correlation between Δ(O-Sr) and L(Sr-O) was found to differ from that between Δ(O-Nb) and L(Nb-O). Possible cause for the difference is discussed.

Crystallographic and magnetic characterisation of the brownmillerite Sr2Co2O5

Sr₂Co₂O₅ with the perovskite-related brownmillerite structure has been synthesised via quenching, with the orthorhombic unit cell parameters a=5.4639(3) Å, b=15.6486(8) Å and c=5.5667(3) Å based on refinement of neutron powder diffraction data collected at 4 K. Electron microscopy revealed L-R-L-R-intralayer ordering of chain orientations, which require a doubling of the unit cell along the c-parameter, consistent with the assignment of the space group Pcmb. However, on the length scale pertinent to NPD, no long-range order is observed and the disordered space group Imma appears more appropriate. The magnetic structure corresponds to G-type order with a moment of 3.00(4) μ_B directed along [1 0 0].     

The Crystal Structure of Sr2TiSi2O8

Sr₂TiSi₂O₈ single crystals were grown by Czochralski pulling and from a high-temperature solution. X-ray diffractometry revealed the modulated crystal structure of Sr₂TiSi₂O₈ to belong to the 5D superspace group P4bm (−α, α, 1/2; α, α, 1/2) with α=0.3. Atomic positions, anisotropic displacement factors and positional modulation parameters for Sr₂TiSi₂O₈ are determined and discussed. The positional modulation is further investigated by electron diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. In the latter experiments, the 2D modulation appears to be superimposed by some 1D modulation waves. This effect is discussed in terms of growth conditions.     

Controlled synthesis and luminescent properties of Eu(Eu), Dy-doped Sr3Al2O6 phosphors by hydrothermal treatment and postannealing approach

In this work, Sr₃Al₂O₆: Eu²⁺ (Eu³⁺), Dy³⁺ phosphors have been prepared by hydrothermal treatment and subsequently postannealing approach, using Sr(NO₃)₂, Al(NO₃)₃·9H₂O, and CO(NH₂)₂ as starting materials. The as-obtained phosphors were characterized by means of XRPD, FESEM, and PL techniques. In addition, many reaction parameters were studied in detail, including the initial mole ratios, hydrothermal reaction temperature, calcination temperature and calcination atmosphere. Remarkably, two scientific merits exist herein: Sr₃Al₂O₆: Eu²⁺ (Eu³⁺), Dy³⁺ phosphors can be selectively obtained in a reducing atmosphere (H₂/Ar, 20%+80%) and in air, respectively; adding certain amount of sodium citrate can alter the shape and size of Sr₃Al₂O₆: Eu²⁺ (Eu³⁺), Dy³⁺ phosphors in essence. Besides, the luminescent properties of Sr₃Al₂O₆: Eu²⁺ (Eu³⁺), Dy³⁺ phosphors were studied by excitation spectra, emission spectra and decay curves.     

Synthesis and properties of the double perovskites La2NiVO6, La2CoVO6, and La2CoTiO6

The double perovskites La₂CoVO₆, La₂CoTiO₆, and La₂NiVO₆, are described. Rietveld fitting of neutron and powder X-ray diffraction data show La₂NiVO₆ and La₂CoVO₆ to have a disordered arrangement of B-cations whereas La₂CoTiO₆ shows ordering of the B-cations (with ∼5% Co/Ti inversion). Curie-Weiss fits to the linear region of the 1/χ plots reveal Weiss temperatures of −107, −34.8, and 16.3 K for La₂CoVO₆, La₂CoTiO₆, and La₂NiVO₆, respectively, and magnetic transitions are observed. La₂CoTiO₆ prepared by our method differs from material prepared by lower-temperature routes. A simple antiferromagnetic spin model is consistent with the data for La₂CoTiO₆. These compounds are semiconductors with bandgaps of 0.41 (La₂CoVO₆), 1.02 (La₂CoTiO₆) and 0.45 eV (La₂NiVO₆).

机械球磨与反应烧结合成Sr2CeO4发光体的研究

Sr₂CeO₄ phosphor was synthesized by mechanical milling and reactive sintering in this work. The solid state reaction of SrCO₃and CeO₂ (2∶1) started at about 850 ℃ and completed at 1 000 ℃ for about 4 h. Two types of formation mechanism of Sr₂CeO₄ were proposed. When the starting powder mixture was fired above 1 000 ℃, the unstable intermediate phase SrCeO₃was developed, which then reacted with SrCO₃to form the final product Sr₂CeO₄, however, SrCO₃and CeO₂ converted directly to Sr₂CeO₄ at a lower temperature. The XRD results showed the crystal structure of Sr₂CeO₄ was orthorhombic. The emission spectra displayed a broad band with maximum at about 465 nm. The mechanical milling of starting power mixture and the sintering temperature had no effect on this emission spectra.     

Synthesis and Characterization of the Reduced Single-Layer Manganite Sr2MnO3.5+x

The nuclear and magnetic structures of polycrystalline Sr₂MnO_3.5 have been determined by the Rietveld analysis of neutron powder diffraction data and electron diffraction techniques. The pure Mn³⁺ single-layered phase crystallizes in the primitive monoclinic space-group P2₁/c with lattice constants a=6.8524(3) Å b=10.8131(4) Å c=10.8068(4) Å β=113.247(4)°. The oxygen defects form an ordered superstructure within the perovskite block layers consisting of interconnected MnO₅ square pyramids, slightly different from those observed for the defect perovskites SrMnO_2.5 and Ca₂MnO_3.5. Magnetic susceptibility studies show a broad transition at ∼280 K, which is attributed to an overall antiferromagnetic ordering of spins, which leads to doubling of the unit cell along [100]. The magnetic unit cell comprises ferromagnetic clusters of four corner-sharing MnO₅ pyramids, which are antiferromagnetically aligned to other similar clusters within the perovskite block layers.     

Hydrothermal synthesis and luminescent properties of Sb-doped Sr3(PO4)2

Sb³⁺-doped Sr₃(PO₄)₂ crystals has been synthesized using phosphoric acid, strontium hydroxide and antimony powder as the raw materials through a hydrothermal reaction method. The crystallinity and the microstructure were investigated using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The photoluminescent property was investigated using luminescent spectrometer. Phase pure Sr₃(PO₄)₂ crystal was obtained and it has a shape of hexagonal rod. It showed the emission and excitation peaks at 396, 250, and 215 nm, respectively, indicating that the emission is attributed to ³P₁-¹S₀ transition and the excitation is attributed to ¹S₀-³P₁ and ¹S₀-¹P₁ transition. It was also observed that the intensity of photoluminescence is thermally stable up to 673 K.     

Sr2Ta2O7纳米片的水热合成及其高效光降解甲基橙溶液的性能研究

采用水热法制备了Sr₂Ta₂O₇纳米片,并通过XRD、UV-Vis、SEM和TEM等手段对其进行了表征。以降解甲基橙溶液为反应模型,研究了Sr₂Ta₂O₇纳米片的光催化性能。光催化结果表明,水热法制备的Sr₂Ta₂O₇纳米片具有更高的光催化降解效率,为固相法制备的块体Sr₂Ta₂O₇样品的2倍。二者催化性能上差异主要是由于两种方法制备的样品具有不同的晶粒大小和比表面积造成的。

The magnetic structure of clinopyroxene-type LiFeGe2O6 and revised data on multiferroic LiFeSi2O6

The clinopyroxene compounds LiFeSi₂O₆ and LiFeGe₂O₆ have been investigated by constant wavelength neutron diffraction at low temperatures and by bulk magnetic measurements. Both compounds are monoclinic, space group P2₁/c and do not exhibit a change in nuclear symmetry down to 1.4 and 5 K respective. However, they transform to a magnetically ordered state below 20 K. LiFeSi₂O₆ shows a simple magnetic structure with no indication of an incommensurate modulation. The magnetic space group is P2₁/c′ and the structure is described by a ferromagnetic coupling of spins within the infinite M1 chains of edge-sharing octahedra, while the coupling between these M1 chains is antiferromagnetic. The magnetic phase transition is accompanied by magnetostriction of the lattice when passing through the magnetic phase transition. The magnetic structure of LiFeGe₂O₆ is different to the silicate: the space group is and the magnetic unit cell doubled along the a-direction. Within the M1 chains spins are coupled antiferromagnetically, while the chain to chain coupling is antiferromagnetic when coupling goes via the GeB tetrahedron and ferromagnetic when it goes via the GeA tetrahedron.     

Sr7Zr(PO4)6∶xEu2+蓝色荧光粉的合成及其发光特性

Synthesis, crystal structure, infrared and Raman spectra of Sr5(As2O7)2(AsO3OH)

The new compound Sr₅(As₂O₇)₂(AsO₃OH) was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. It represents a previously unknown structure type and belongs to a group of a few compounds in the system SrO-As₂O₅-H₂O; (As₂O₇)⁴⁻ besides (AsO₃OH)²⁻ groups have not been described yet. The crystal structure of Sr₅(As₂O₇)₂(AsO₃OH) was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (space group P2₁/n, a=7.146(1), b=7.142(1), , β=93.67(3)°, , Z=4). One of the five symmetrically unique Sr atoms is in a trigonal antiprismatic (Inorg. Chem. 35 (1996) 4708)—coordination, whereas the other Sr atoms adopt the commonly observed (“Collect” data collection software, Delft, The Netherlands, 1999; Methods Enzymol. 276 (1997) 307)—coordination. The position of the hydrogen atom was located in a difference Fourier map and subsequently refined with an isotropic displacement parameter. Worth mentioning is the very short hydrogen bond length O_h-H?O(1) of 2.494(4) Å; it belongs to the shortest known examples where the donor and acceptor atoms are crystallographically different. This hydrogen bond was confirmed by IR spectroscopy. In addition, Raman spectra were collected in order to study the arsenate groups.
