Density-fluctuation-induced swelling of polymer thin films in carbon dioxide

We report an anomalous swelling of polymer thin films in carbon dioxide (CO(2)) which is associated (in both locus and form) with the density fluctuation ridge that forms along the extension of the coexistence curve of gas and liquid in the P-T phase diagram. Neutron reflectivity results showed that CO(2) could be sorbed to a large extent ( approximately 60%) in thin polymer films even when the bulk miscibility of the polymer with CO(2) is very poor. The anomalous swelling is found to scale with the polymer radius of gyration (R(g)) and extends to a distance approximately 10 R(g).

Strain-induced polarization rotation in epitaxial (001) BiFeO3 thin films

Direct measurement of the remanent polarization of high quality (001)-oriented epitaxial BiFeO3 thin films shows a strong strain dependence, even larger than conventional (001)-oriented PbTiO3 films. Thermodynamic analysis reveals that a strain-induced polarization rotation mechanism is responsible for the large change in the out-of-plane polarization of (001) BiFeO3 with biaxial strain while the spontaneous polarization itself remains almost constant.     

Structural and optical properties of ZnO thin films on (111) CaF2 substrates grown by magnetron sputtering

ZnO thin films were grown on (111) CaF₂ substrates by magnetron sputtering at room temperature. Structural and optical properties of the ZnO thin films were studied. XRD analysis showed that the ZnO thin films had the (002) preferential orientation. The transmittance of ZnO thin films was over 80% in the visible range. The optical band gap of the ZnO thin films was 3.26 eV. The optical constants (n,k)$(n,k)$ of the ZnO thin films in the wavelength range 300–1000 nm were obtained by infrared spectroscopic ellipsometry measurement. PL spectra of ZnO thin films showed strong UV near-band-edge emission peak at 376.5 nm and weak visible red emission at 643.49 nm using He–Cd laser as the light source, using a synchrotron radiation light source PL spectra showed three emission peak at 320 nm, 410 nm and 542 nm respectively.     

Properties of proton-rich nuclei in a three-body model

Using a three-body model and realistic two-body potentials, we investigate the properties of the nuclei ¹⁸Ne and ²⁸S near the proton dripline. We figure out the two-proton separation energies, occupation of the valence protons, root-mean-square radii of matter and the valence protons. Besides, the spatial correlation densities are displayed to reflect the correlation between the two valence protons. The first excited 0⁺ state of ¹⁸Ne is most likely to be a halo state according to our calculation. Turning off the Coulomb interactions among the three-body systems, we get the two-neutron separation energies and configuration of the valence neutrons of their corresponding mirror nuclei. The results indicate that the three-body model is proper to describe some proton-rich nuclei and can be used to deduce reliable information.     

Negative slope of resistivity–temperature curve and positive magnetoresistance in antiperovskite ZnCNi3−x Mn x (1.15≤x≤1.5)

In antiperovskite intermetallics ZnCNi_3?x Mn _x , the negative slope coefficient (NSC) dρ/dT of resistivity–temperature curves is observed when x=1.15,1.25,1.4,1.5. The sample with x=1.25 shows a semiconductor-like behavior in the whole temperature range of 15–290 K. By study of the magnetization, magnetoresistance, and low-temperature X-ray diffraction, it is found that Mn dopant significantly affects the physical properties of ZnCNi_3?x Mn _x by changing both the carrier density and the magnetism. The origin of the NSC dρ/dT can be ascribed to the change of hole-like carrier density, which is adjusted by Mn content. The existence of hole-like carriers can be understood rationally by the two-band model. The change of sign of magnetoresistance from positive to negative has been observed in ZnCNi_3?x Mn _x with the change of Mn content, which could be ascribed to the competition between the contribution from field-induced suppression of the thermally excited ferromagnetic spin fluctuations and the Lorentz contribution. When Mn content is low, the Lorentz contribution dominates the sign of magnetoresistance. On the other hand, when Mn content is high, the contribution from field-induced suppression of the thermally excited ferromagnetic spin fluctuations dominates the sign of magnetoresistance.

K_2S-activated carbons developed from coal and their methane adsorption behaviors

The main purpose of this work is to prepare various activated carbons by K2S activation of coal with size fractions of 60-80 meshes, and investigate the microporosity development and corresponding methane storage capacities. Raw coal is mixed with K2S powder, and then heated at 750 ℃-900 ℃ for 30 min-150 min in N2 atmosphere to produce the adsorbents. The texture and surface morphology are characterized by a N2 adsorption/desorption isotherm at 77 K and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. The chemical properties of carbons are confirmed by ultimate analysis. The crystal structure and degree of graphitization are tested by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectra. The relationship between sulfur content and the specific surface area of the adsorbents is also determined. K2S activation is helps to bring about better development of pore texture. These adsorbents are microporous materials with textural parameters increasing in a range of specific surface area 72.27 m2/g-657.7 m2/g and micropore volume 0.035 cm3/g-0.334 cm3/g. The ability of activated carbons to adsorb methane is measured at 298 K and at pressures up to 5.0 MPa by a volumetric method. The Langmuir model fits the experimental data well. It is concluded that the high specific surface area and micropore volume of activated carbons do determine methane adsorption capacity. The adsorbents obtained at 800 ℃ for 90 min with K2S/raw coal mass ratios of 1.0 and 1.2 show the highest methane adsorption capacities amounting to 106.98 mg/g and 106.17 mg/g, respectively.     

Studies on the electrochemiluminescent behavior of luminol on indium tin oxide (ITO) glass

The electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of luminol on indium tin oxide (ITO) glass was high even under a low potential around 0.4-0.5 V, which was quite different from other electrodes such as platinum. ITO nanoparticles were synthesized and used in the research on ITO glass in the ECL process. A static interaction between ITO and luminol is confirmed from UV-vis and fluorescence spectra. Then the ECL enhancement can be supposed to originate from the adsorption of luminol on ITO, which facilitated luminol’s oxidization to the excited state, giving out ECL. On the other hand, ITO can catalyze the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROSs), similar to some other nanomaterials, which also favored the ECL enhancement of luminol.
