From cluster assembly to ultrathin nanocrystals and complex nanostructures

Ultrathin nanostructures have attracted much attention in recent years due to their predictable novel properties and various potential applications. The improvement in synthetic skills has led to many successful syntheses of nanostructures including zerodimensional (0D) nanoclusters, one-dimensional (1D) nanowires, two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets and other higher-level complex nanostructures, where cluster-assembly of primary nanocrystals is a common process. In this review, progress in ultrathin nanocrystals in the last decade and several important factors in the growth mechanisms are covered. By giving examples of cluster assembly from 1D to 3D nanostructures, the utility of cluster assembly in the synthesis of new materials has been demonstrated.     

GEOMETRIC AND ELECTRONIC STRUCTURES OF Ti8C12 CLUSTER

The electronic structure of Ti₈C₁₂ clusters with three possible geometric structures suggested in the literature is studied using the discrete-variational local-density-functional method. The results show that the ground states of the clusters are all degenerate, which means further Jahn-Teller distortions for the geometric structures of clusters. The results also indicate that the distorted dodecahedral Ti₈C₁₂ cluster, which is proposed by Guo et al. and optimized by the first principle calculations, is the most stable one among the clusters we considered and its electronic structure can explain the experimental observations. In this cluster, there is a strong pd bonding between Ti and C atoms, and the density of states at the Fermi energy is high.     

A DOUBLE-TEMPERATURE-GRADIENT TECHNIQUE FOR THE GROWTH OF PURE C60 SINGLE CRYSTALS FROM THE VAPOR PHASE

Pure C₆₀ single crystals were grown by a sublimation-condensation method in an evacuated dosed quartz tube situated in a double-temperature-gradient furnace. Large C₆₀ single crystals, up to a size of 0.6 mm×1.0 mm×2.0 mm with quite smooth and shiny faces, were obtained. X-ray diffraction, electron diffraction and X-ray morphology were carried out and showed that the quality of large C₆₀ single crystals grown by the double-temperature-gradient technique is excellent. In this paper the experimental results of the growth of large C₆₀ single crystals are reported and the morphological and structural characterizations are discussed in detail.     

DISSOLUTION OF IRON TO COPPER IN Fe60Cu40 ALLOY BY MECHANICAL ALLOYING AND SUBSEQUENT DECOMPOSITION

A metastable alloy with composition Fe₆₀Cu₄₀ can be prepared in single phase of a fcc structure by mechanical alloying, although Fe-Cu system is virtually immiscible in its equilibrium state at ambient temperature. The M?ssbauer spectra of this supersaturated solid solution could be fitted by two subspectra whose hyperfine magnetic fields are 200 kOe and 250kOe. In this metastable alloy, the iron atoms at the interface are easy to form clusters characterized as α-Fe at a temperature below 250℃, whereas the iron atoms in the body will cluster together at a higher temperature above 350℃ and behave as γ-Fe, and then transform to ferromagnetic bcc iron occurs.     

“PPAS” X-RAY ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY IN LASER-PRODUCED ALUMINUM PLASMA

We have developed and successfully demonstrated the "point projection absorption spectroscopy (hereafter abbreviated to PPAS)" technique to record keV X-ray absorption spectra in the coronal region of laser produced aluminum plasma which provides spatial information in the corona. Absorption spectrum of the Al Ⅻ 1s²-1s2p resonant line for time delays up to 250, 500 and 750 ps after the peak of the incident laser pulse have been observed. Analysis of an absorption spectrum should allow a high spatial resolution (< 25μm) history of the absorbing ion population density to be determined. The 1-D hydro-code JB19 has been used to simulate the experiment and the predictions are compared to the observations. Such comparison can be useful in validating parts of the codes used for gain prediction on recombination X-ray laser transitions.

多层溅射制备Wsix/Si薄膜的电阻率特性研究

利用多层溅射技术制备了ＷＳｉ_x／Ｓｉ薄膜，然后测量其平面电阻的退火行为，发现平面电阻在６００－７００℃之间退火后有陡降，这对应于非晶ＷＳｉ_x薄膜中Ｗ₅Ｓｉ₃四角相的形成。ｘ射线衍射和慢正电子湮没测量也证实了这一点。认为薄膜电阻率的突变反映了导电机制的变化，它和薄膜结构的变化有很好的对应关系。 关键词：
