The temperature dependence f photoconductivity in a-Si

The photoconductivity and its dependence on light intensity have been investigated in a-Si as a function of temperature between 100 and 500 K. In most experiments a photon energy of 2 eV was used. Specimens were deposited on to a substrate held at a temperature between 300 and 600 K by the r.f. decomposition of silane. Graphs of the photocurrent versus 1/T show a photoconductive maximum and the general features of the curves are similar to those found for the chalcogenide glasses. The main emphasis of the paper lies in the interpretation of the results in the light of the information on transport properties and the density of state distribution obtained from drift mobility and field effect experiments. It is shown that recombination takes place predominantly between two groups of localized states, which have been identified in the previous work. The initial state at ?_A is situated about 0.18 eV below ge_C in the electron tail states, the final state lies in a density of state maximum, 0.4 eV above ?_V. Above about 250 K, the photocurrent is carried by electrons in extended states, but below this temperature transport is by phonon assisted hopping through states near ?_A. A recombination process involving two states of a structural defect centre is discussed on the basis of the results and appears to be a feasible interpretation.

Moisture behavior and effects on the mechanical properties and the microstructures of SiO2f/Si3N4–BN amorphous composites

Water diffusion in fiber reinforced ceramic composites could reduce the flexural strength as a result of weakened fiber/matrix binding. In the paper, the braided silica fiber reinforced silicon nitride and boron nitride amorphous composites (SiO_2f/Si₃N₄–BN) was prepared through repeated infiltration of hybrid preceramic precursor and pyrolysis at high temperature in ammonia atmosphere. The moisture behavior of the SiO_2f/Si₃N₄–BN composites and moist effects on the mechanical properties and the microstructures of composites were studied. The results showed that the water absorption characteristic of amorphous composites could be described by using the Fick’ law. The flexural strength could be adjusted and the maximal value of that reached 161.7 MPa by controlling moderate relative humidity, which is 58.8% higher more than that of the as-received composites. SEM indicated that good mechanical properties is on the ground of the interface structure change between fiber and matrix and more fibers were pulled out which absorbing much more fracture energy.

Highly enhanced f–f transitions of Eu3+ in La2O3 phosphor via citric acid and poly (ethylene glycol) precursor route

The luminescent material europium-activated La₂O₃ have been prepared by the citric acid and poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) precursor route. Their structures and optical properties were characterized by FT-IR spectrum, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), UV–vis spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL) spectra, respectively. The results show considerable enhancement of the photoluminescence, especially the Eu³⁺ f–f transition excitation lines and the charge transfer band (CT). The samples can exhibit strong red emission centered at 626 nm excited at either the CT band (300 nm) or the Eu³⁺ f–f transition (396 nm), suggesting the potential application as the red phosphors for ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which can be attributed to the ⁵D₀→⁷F₂ transition of Eu³⁺. The remarkable enhancement of color purity of red emission and the concentration quenching of Eu³⁺ in La₂O₃ were also observed with increasing Eu³⁺ doped concentration.     

Investigation of DTS effect on r.f. magnetron sputtered ZnO thin films

The aim of this study depends on understanding the effect of target‐to‐substrate distance (D_TS) on ZnO thin films deposited by r.f. magnetron sputtering on to glass substrates at room temperature conditions. The D_TS was changed from 35 mm to 65 mm with steps of 5 mm at 165 W and 0.2 Pa. The deposition rate of the films were ranged from 76 Ǻ / min to 146 Ǻ / min, while 10^‐3 Ω.cm was obtained as the resistivity value with the help of four point probe technique. The structural investigations were carried out by using both the x‐ray diffraction (XRD) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy. According to XRD observations, the films were (002) oriented. Surface behaviour of the ZnO films was examined with atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The root mean square (RMS) values were varied from 4.6 nm to 22.8 nm. Also, optical properties were obtained from UV–visible spectrophotometer and the transmittances as around 80 %. At 45 mm D_TS value, the minimum resistivity measured as 9 × 10^{− 4} Ω.cm with 76 Ǻ / min deposition rate. The RMS was obtained as 4.9 nm and transmission was measured as 85.30 %, while band gap was 3.45 eV.     

X-ray crystal structure analysis of nitroxazepine: 10-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-2-nitro-10,11-dihydrodibenz [b,f][l,4]oxazepin-11-one

The title compound, C₁₈H₁₉O₄N₃,M _r=341, the base (I) of the dibenzoxazepine anti-depressant drug Sintamil, crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group,Pbca withZ=8 in a cella=8.636(2),b=23.687(3),c=16.787(3)Å,V _c=3434 ų. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined toR=0.102 (R _w=0.093) with 1348 observed CuK reflections. The tricyclic framework takes up a saddle shape with the heterocyclic ring in boat conformation; the flanking planar aromatic rings make angles 148.2(3), 150.8(3)° with the central ring plane, compared with 143.5(5), 158.1(5)° in Sintamil monohydrate (II). BothI andII have extended-CNMe₂ side chains (with appreciable thermal motion); this conformation, and the distances of the -N(CH₃)₃ nitrogen to the centers of aromatic rings (6.4 and 7.8 Å inI), are consistent with inhibition of uptake mechanisms underlying the pharmacological action.

Vibrational behavior of matrix‐isolated ions in Tutton compounds IV. Infrared spectroscopic study of NH4+ and SO42‐ ions included in nickel sulfates and selenates

Infrared spectra of K₂Ni(SeO₄)₂·6H₂O and (NH₄)₂Ni(SeO₄)₂·6H₂O containing SO₄^2‐ ions and those of K₂Ni(SO₄)₂·6H₂O and K₂Ni(SeO₄)₂·6H₂O containing NH₄⁺ ions are presented and discussed in the region of ν₃ and ν₁ of the sulfate ions and in the region of ν₄ of the NH₄⁺ ions, respectively. The SO₄^2‐ ions matrix‐isolated in the selenate matrices (approximately 1 mol%) exhibit three bands for ν₃ and one band for ν₁ in agreement with the low site symmetry C₁ of the host selenate ions. The NH₄⁺ guest ions included in the potassium sulfate matrix are characterized also with three bands for ν₄. However, the ammonium ions in (NH₄)₂Ni(SeO₄)₂·6H₂O as well as those included in K₂Ni(SeO₄)₂·6H₂O display four infrared bands corresponding to ν₄ due probably to some kind of disorder of the ammonium ions. The extent of energetic distortion of the isomorphously included sulfate ions as deduced from the values of Δν₃ and Δν_max is commented. The spectroscopic experiments reveal that the SO₄^2‐ guest ions are weaker distorted in the selenate matrices as compared to the same ions in the neat sulfates due to the larger unit‐cell volumes of the selenate compounds. The band positions of the water librations in the host potassium compounds are affected by the included ammonium cations. The formation of hydrogen bonds between the NH₄⁺ guest ions and the XO₄^2‐ host ions leads to a decrease in the proton acceptor capabilities of the anions and as a result the hydrogen bonds weaken on going from the neat potassium compounds to the mixed crystals.
