Facile fabrication and optical properties of novel Pb(OH)Cl nanotubes

Uniform Pb(OH)Cl nanotubes were synthesized for the first time through a reverse micelles system. The system was consisting of C₁₂E₉ as a surfactant, n-pentanol as a cosurfactant, hexamethylene as the continuous oil phase and lead acetate or sodium chloride solution as the dispersed aqueous phase. The obtained Pb(OH)Cl nanotubes have an average outer diameter of 60 nm, inner diameter of about 40 nm, and an length up to 3 μm as TEM picture showed. And the range of the nanotube diameter is from 50 nm to 70 nm. XRD result indicated that Pb(OH)Cl crystallized in an orthorhombic phase. Photoluminescent (PL) spectrum showed that the product emit in near ultraviolet region and visible region at 335 nm and 439 nm respectively. The experimental results show that reaction temperature have effect on the shape of Pb(OH)Cl nanotubes. A possible formation mechanism was also discussed.

Photonic bandgap properties of 8-fold symmetric photonic quasicrystals

The bandgap properties of 2D 8-fold symmetric photonic quasicrystals (PQCs) composed of a set of rods are numerically investigated for various fill factors, dielectric constants and propagation angles using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. Some interesting properties are found besides the known results: (i) the central frequency of the bandgap shifts to low frequency as r/a increases; (ii) an optimum fill factor to obtain the largest gap width exists, which decreases with increasing dielectric constant; (iii) compared with the behavior for a given fill factor, the variation of bandgap width for the optimum fill factor increases much more significantly with the dielectric constant. Selection guidelines for 8-fold symmetric PQC designs are provided for optimum fill factors and variation of the relative bandgap width at different dielectric constants.     

Anisotropy of sound velocity for a new PbB4O7 crystal as determined by the laser ultrasonic technique

4 O₇ crystal is a new nonlinear optical crystal. For the first time the anisotropy of the velocities of its longitudinal and surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are determined by laser ultrasonic technique. The velocities of surface waves for X-, Y-, and Z-cut crystals are also calculated. The theoretical calculations of slowness curves are in good agreement with experimental results. The SAW slowness curve is elliptical for Y- or Z-cut crystal wafers, and circular for an X-cut wafer. Received: 27 January 1997/Accepted: 30 July 1997     

Fano effect of a parallel-coupled triple Rashba quantum dot system

Using the nonequilibrium Keldysh Green's function technique, the Fano effect of a parallel-coupled triple Rashba quantum dot system is investigated. The conductance as a function of electron energy is numerically calculated. Compared with the case of a parallel-coupled double quantum dot system, two additional Fano resonance peaks occur in the conductance spectrum. By adjusting the structural parameters, the two Fano resonance peaks may change into the resonance peaks. In addition, the influence of Rashba spin-orbit interaction on the conductance is studied.     

Influence of orifice spacing on twin bubbles formation in shear-thinning fluids: Laser image measurement

A laser image system for investigating the influence of orifice spacing on twin bubbles formation in shear-thinning fluid was established. The bubbles formation process at two orifices could be directly visualized and real-time recorded through computer by means of He–Ne laser as light source using the beam expanding and light amplification technology. The shape and size of bubbles generating in carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) aqueous solutions were studied experimentally at the orifices spacing 1D_o, 2D_o and 3D_o (D_o orifice diameter). The results reveal that the minute bubbles can be imaged clearly and amplified without distortion in the higher concentration solutions, and therefore the shape and size of bubbles are obtained accurately. With the increase of orifice spacing, bubble instantaneous volume in shear-thinning fluid decreases at the radial expansion stage but then increases at vertical elongation period, and the deformation and deviation of bubbles forming goes down due to the reduced interaction of adjacent bubble.

Influence of precipitant solution pH on the structural, morphological and upconversion luminescent properties of Lu2O3:2%Yb, 0.2%Tm nanopowders

Lutetium oxide nanopowders codoped with Tm³⁺ and Yb³⁺ were synthesized by the reverse-strike co-precipitation method. Effects of precipitant solution pH on the structural, morphological and upconversion luminescent properties of Lu₂O₃:2%Yb, 0.2%Tm nanopowders had been investigated. The results show that pH value of the precipitant (NH₄HCO₃) solution has a significant effect on the particle size, morphology and upconversion emission intensity of the Lu₂O₃:2%Yb, 0.2%Tm nanopowders. All the samples obtained from different pH value of precipitant solution can be readily indexed to pure cubic phase of Lu₂O₃, indicating good crystallinity. The upconversion emission intensity of Lu₂O₃:2%Yb, 0.2%Tm nanopowders obtained from the precipitant solution with pH=11 is the strongest. The enhancement of the upconversion luminescence is suggested to be the consequence of reducing the number of OH⁻ groups and the enlarged nanopowder size. The strong blue, weak red and near infrared emissions from the prepared nanopowders were observed under 980 nm laser excitation, and attributed to the ¹G₄→³H₆, ¹G₄→³F₄ and ³H₄→³H₆ transitions of Tm³⁺ ion, respectively.     

Novel red perovskite phosphor Ca2AlNbO6:Eu for white light-emitting diode application

Eu³⁺-doped perovskite phosphors of Ca₂AlNbO₆ were synthesized from a solid state reaction. A small amount of the Li₂CO₃ flux was found to greatly shorten calcination time and reduce reaction temperature. The structural and optical properties of the samples were systematically investigated. The excitation spectra of Ca₂AlNbO₆:Eu³⁺ reveal two excitation bands at 398 (⁷F₀→⁵L₆) and 466 nm (⁷F₀→⁵D₂), which match well with the two popular emissions from near-UV and blue LED chips. Under blue light excitation, the red emission of Ca₂AlNbO₆:0.05Eu³⁺ is twice more intense than that of (Y_0.95Eu_0.05)₂O₃. The chromaticity coordinates of (Ca_0.95Eu_0.05)₂AlNbO₆ (x=0.654, y=0.346) are close to the standard values (x=0.670, y=0.330) of National Television Standard Committee (NTSC). The optical properties suggest that Ca₂AlNbO₆:Eu³⁺ is an efficient red-emitting phosphor for light-emitting diode applications.
