Correlation between luminescent properties and structure organization in AlGaN/GaN superlattices annealed after erbium ion implantation

The evolution of the structure organization of MOCVD-grown AlGaN/GaN superlattices subjected to erbium ion implantation with an energy of 1 MeV and dose of 3 × 10¹⁵ cm^?2 and subsequent annealing is correlated with their photoluminescent properties. The structure organization is quantitatively estimated using parameter Δ (degree of violation of local symmetry), which is found via multifractal analysis of surface morphology patterns obtained with atomic force microscopy. It is shown that the implantation not only causes Ga segregation on the surface, but also changes the structure organization, which shows up in the finer grain structure compared with the starting one and disordering, as well as in an increase in Δ. As the annealing temperature rises from 700 to 800°C, Δ declines, indicating that the structure organization is improved, and the intensity of the dominating photoluminescence peak due to Er³⁺ ions (1.542 μm) grows. With a further increase in the annealing temperature to 1050°C, the structure organization degrades, domains get larger, voids 100–200 nm deep form, and the photoluminescence intensity drops. The formation of voids during high-temperature annealing is also substantiated by data for 230-keV proton scattering. It is thus established that the improvement of the superlattice structure organization activates erbium and causes the erbium-ion-related luminescence intensity to grow.

Nucleophilic Substitution of Chlorine with Hydrazine,Methylhydrazine, and 1,1-Dimethylhydrazine in 5-Aryl-2-chloromethyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles

The reactions of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine, methylhydrazine, and hydrazine hydrate with 5-aryl-2-chloromethyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles were studied. The structures and compositions of the final products were confirmed by ¹H NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis.__________Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Khimii, Vol. 78, No. 3, 2005, pp. 470–473.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Baranov, Tsypin, Malin, Laskin.     

2D metal slabs in new nickel-tin chalcogenides Ni7−δSnQ2 (QSe, Te): average crystal and electronic structures, chemical bonding and physical properties

A systematic search for mixed low-valence, nickel-tin chalcogenides performed by establishing phase relations in the parts of Ni-Sn-Se and Ni-Sn-Te ternary systems resulted in the discovery of two new compounds, Ni_5.62SnSe₂ and Ni_5.78SnTe₂. Single crystals of both compounds were prepared by chemical transport with iodine and crystal structures were determined by single crystal X-ray investigation. The ED patterns for Ni_5.78SnTe₂ showed the presence of satellite reflections, which indicate a modulated structure with q≈0.4a^*. Average crystal structures of both compounds were determined to be of tetragonal symmetry (Sp.gr. I4/mmm, Z=2) with a=3.6890(8) Å, c=18.648(3) Å, R_w=0.0716 and a=3.7680(5) Å, c=19.419(4) Å, R_w=0.0832, correspondingly, and are isostructural to known Ni_5.72SbSe₂ and Ni_5.66SbTe₂. Measurements were carried out for both compounds with respect to thermal, electrical and magnetic properties. Ab initio band structure calculations were also performed to take a first glance into the electronic structure of such type compounds. The anisotropy of their band structure was found. Physical property measurements showed both compounds to be the anisotropic metallic conductors and paramagnetics. Calculated difference charge density maps revealed pairwise covalent and multicenter metallic nature of the d-metal—chalcogen and d-metal—p-metal interactions, respectively.     

A new anode material LiMoS2 for use in rechargeable Lithium Ion Batteries

The novel applications of molybdenum disulfide in recent research were reviewed, such as in lubricant, catalyst and photoelectrochemical solar cells. Recently, we found that LiMoS2 is a good candidate for new anode materials for lithium ion batteries with high lithium storage capacity.Here, the anode material LiMoS2 was synthesized by a hydrothermal method at 150℃ and the electrochemical characterization as an anode material for lithium ion batteries was examined.put in Teflon-lined stainless steel autoclaves of capacity 40 mL. Distilled water was used to fill the autoclaves to 70 % of the total volume. The autoclaves were maintained at 150℃ for 24 h and then cooled naturally. The resulting dark-gray powders were filled and washed with distilled water,diluted hydrochloric acid and ethanol, successively. The final products were dried at 80℃ for 24 h.The powder X-ray diffraction pattern showed the prepared LiMoS2 was amorphous structure. A test cell using LiMoS2 as the active material was discharged and charged between 3 and 0.01 V with respect to Li metal at a constant current density of C/5 (that is, one lithium per formula unit in 5 hours). During the first discharge, the potential rapidly drops to reach a large plateau at 2.2 V, then slowly drops to the other plateau at 0.8 V, and then continuously decreases down to 0.01V. There is only a plateau at 1.35 V in the subsequent discharge curves. The plateaus of charge potential appear at about 1.9 V.The irreversible loss was 41% in the first cycle. The ratio of discharge and charge is more than 99%in the subsequent cycles. Moreover, the ratio of discharge and charge almost reaches 100% after thedemonstrated that LiMoS2 has a very high capacity and a good cycle-ability as an anode material forlithium ion batteries.     

Algebraic classification of gravitational fields in five-dimensional space-time

We consider the algebraic classification of five-dimensional empty space-time (Kalutsa type) with one time-like direction as a generalization of the Petrov algebraic classification of gravitational fields in four-dimensional space-time. We study two special cases: a) zero electromagnetic field and zero scalar field; b) nonzero electromagnetic field and zero scalar field. For the (1+4) separated Kalutsa five-metric we introduce the pentad metric of a tangent five-space, which is mapped together with the curvature tensor into a ten-dimensional real flat vector space. The classification is constructed in local geodesic coordinates for the above two cases. In both cases the characteristic equation can be reduced to a sixth-order equation that can be simplified when certain requirements are satisfied. Our results demonstrate the nontrivial nature of algebraic classification in five dimensions.This work was performed within the framework of the State Science and Technology Astronomy program.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 3, pp. 73–78, March, 1995.
