It is shown that by adopting a very gradual programmed cooling procedure in oxygen environment one can obtain a sharp transition
(ΔTc⋍1 K) in YBa2Cu3O7−x while retaining the high-Tc value (⋍105 K) of samples prepared by a semi-wet route. This is attributed to a maximum occupancy of oxygen at 0 1/2 0 sites
and a near-perfect ordering of vacancies at 1/2 0 0 sites in the orthorhombic unit cell which maximizes the availability of
conduction paths in the form of continuous CuO4 chains. Critical current densities (Jc) of 204 A cm−2 are obtained for bulk samples at 77 K. It is suggested that the intergrain coupling is weak and thus limits the transportJc-values. 相似文献
Superconducting behaviour of the tetragonal superconductor CaBaLaCu3O7−δ (Tc = 70 K) has been studied as a function of substitution of Ni and Zn for Cu. Both electrical resistivity and AC susceptibility measurements show that Tc decreases monotonically with increasing concentration of the substituent ion, within the composition range where the samples remain single phase, although Zn suppresses Tc more strongly than Ni for equivalent concentrations. It is argued that the suppression of Tc in this system cannot be explained by the Abrikosov-Gorkov mechanism alone. 相似文献
A comparative study on the properties of L-alanine and LAAN crystals has been made and discussed. It may be concluded that the protonation of the amino group in the L-alanine molecule is the key factor in increasing the relative SHG efficiency of LAAN. The protonation is justified by the crystal structure analysis, FTIR and photoluminescence studies. The factor group vibrations are compared and found that there is an increase in vibrational modes of LA when reacted with nitric acid forming LAAN. 相似文献

We describe the synthesis, crystal structures, and optical absorption spectra/colors of 3d‐transition‐metal‐substituted α‐LiZnBO3 derivatives: α‐LiZn1?xMIIxBO3 (MII=CoII (0<x<0.50), NiII (0<x≤0.05), CuII (0<x≤0.10)) and α‐Li1+xZn1?2xMIIIxBO3 (MIII=MnIII (0<x≤0.10), FeIII (0<x≤0.25)). The crystal structure of the host α‐LiZnBO3, which is both disordered and distorted with respect to Li and Zn occupancies and coordination geometries, is largely retained in the derivatives, which gives rise to unique colors (blue for CoII, magenta for NiII, violet for CuII) that could be of significance for the development of new, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly pigment materials, particularly in the case of the blue pigments. Accordingly, this work identifies distorted tetrahedral MO4 (M=Co, Ni, Cu) structural units, with a long M?O bond that results in trigonal bipyramidal geometry, as new chromophores for blue, magenta, and violet colors in a α‐LiZnBO3 host. From the L*a*b* color coordinates, we found that Co‐substituted compounds have an intense blue color that is stronger than that of CoAl2O4 and YIn0.90Mn0.10O3. The near‐infrared (NIR) reflectance spectral studies indicate that these compounds exhibit a moderate IR reflectivity that could be significant for applications as “cool pigments”. 相似文献
We describe an investigation of Ba3MIIMIVWO9 oxides for MII = Ca, Zn, and other divalent metals and MIV = Ti, Zr. In general, a 1:2-ordered 6H (hexagonal, P63/mmc) perovskite structure is stabilized at high temperatures (1300 degrees C) for all of the Ba3MIITiWO9 oxides investigated. An intermediate phase possessing a partially ordered 1:1 double perovskite (3C) structure with the cation distribution, Ba2(Zn2/3Ti1/3)(W2/3Ti1/3)O6, is obtained at 1200 degrees C for Ba3ZnTiWO9. Sr substitution for Ba in the latter stabilizes the cubic 3C structure instead of the 6H structure. A metastable Ba3CaZrWO9 that adopts the 3C (cubic, Fmm) structure has also been synthesized by a low-temperature metathesis route. Besides yielding several new perovskite oxides that may be useful as dielectric ceramics, the present investigation provides new insights into the complex interplay of crystal chemistry (tolerance factor) and chemical bonding (anion polarization and d0-induced distortion of metal-oxygen octahedra) in the stabilization of 6H versus 3C perovskite structures for the Ba3MIIMIVWO9 series. 相似文献
The roots of Dalbergia horrida yielded two new isoflavanones, Dalhorridin (I) - 5,5'-dihydroxy-3',4'-methylenedioxy-5'-prenyl-6',6'-dimethyl-dihydropyrano(2',3' : 7,8)-isoflavanone and Dalhorridinin (II) - 5,7,5'-trihydroxy-3',4'-methylenedioxy-8-[5-methyl-2-(2-hydroxyisopropyl)-1,4-hexadienyl]isoflavanone along with two known isoflavones, Dalspinin and Dalspinosin. Preliminary biological screening of the enriched extract revealed that it showed analgesic, anti-inflammatory, CNS depressant and mild anti-bacterial properties. 相似文献
A nanocomposite consisting of reduced graphene oxide decorated with palladium-copper oxide nanoparticles (Pd-CuO/rGO) was synthesized by single-step chemical reduction. The morphology and crystal structure of the nanocomposite were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. A 3-electrode system was fabricated by screen printing technology and the Pd-CuO/rGO nanocomposite was dropcast on the carbon working electrode. The catalytic activity towards glucose in 0.2 M NaOH solutions was analyzed by linear sweep voltammetry and amperometry. The steady state current obtained at a constant potential of +0.6 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) showed the modified electrode to possess a wide analytical range (6 μM to 22 mM), a rather low limit of detection (30 nM), excellent sensitivity (3355 μA∙mM−1∙cm−2) and good selectivity over commonly interfering species and other sugars including fructose, sucrose and lactose. The sensor was successfully employed to the determination of glucose in blood serum.
An attempt has been made to realize p-ZnO by directly doping (codoping) GaP into ZnO thin films. GaP codoped ZnO thin films of different concentrations (1, 2 and 4 mol%) have been grown by RF magnetron sputtering. The grown films on sapphire substrate have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Hall measurement, Photoluminescence (PL) and Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) to validate the p-type conduction. XRD result shows that all the films have been preferentially oriented along (0 0 2) orientation. The decrease of full-width at half maximum (FWHM) with increase in GaP doping depicts the decrease in native donor defects. Hall measurement shows that among the three films, 2 and 4 mol% GaP doped ZnO shows p-conductivity due to the sufficient amount of phosphorous incorporation. It has been found that low resistivity (2.17 Ωcm) and high hole concentration (1.8×1018 cm−3) for 2% GaP codoped ZnO films due to best codoping. The red shift in near-band-edge (NBE) emission and donar-acceptor-pair (DAP) and neutral acceptor bound recombination (A°X) observed by room temperature and low temperature (10 K) PL, respectively, well acknowledged the formation of p-ZnO. The incorporated phosphorous in the film has been also confirmed by EDS analysis. 相似文献
Zinc oxide nanostructures were prepared by a simple wet chemical procedure using zinc acetate and sodium hydroxide as precursors.
The process was subjected to quenching treatment and the effect of the treatment on the formation of the nanostructures was
studied using atomic force and scanning electron microscopies. The change in crystal structure of the nanostructures due to
quenching was studied using an X-ray diffractometry that established that physical and structural properties of the nanostructures
were largely influenced by the quenching treatment. 相似文献
