Enhanced Efficiency of Polymer Light-Emitting Diodes by Dispersing Dehydrated Nanotube Titanic Acid in the Hole-buffer Layer

Efficiency of polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) with poly(2-methoxy-5-(2-ethyl hexyloxy)-p-phenylene vinylene) (MEH-PPV) as an emitting layer was improved if a dehydrated nanotubed titanic acid (DNTA) doped hole-buffer layer polyethylene dioxythiophene (PEDOT) was used. Photoluminescence (PL) and Raman spectra indicated a stronger interaction between DNTA and sulfur atom in thiophene of PEDOT, which suppresses the chemical interaction between vinylene of MEH-PPV and thiophene of PEDOT. The interaction decreases the defect states in an interface region to result in enhancement in device efficiency, even though the hole transporting ability of PEDOT was decreased.     

ADSORPTION BEHAVIOR OF AMINO ACIDS ON COPPER SURFACES

The major results of a series of our recent investigations on the adsorption of eight amino acids on Cu(001) and (111) surfaces are reviewed in the present paper. In all studied cases the molecules adsorb onto the surface in their anionic form. With the increase of the coverage three different 2D phases of the adsorbates, that is, the 2D lattice gas, intermediate, and solid phases, appear sequentially, although for few systems one or two of them do not appear. In both the 2D lattice gas and intermediate phases the molecules "stand" with their two oxygen "feet" on the surface and the intermolecular interactions are repulsive, although in the former they can diffuse frequently whereas in the latter they are discommensurate in one direction with the substrate. In the solid phase the molecules "lie" down on the surface to form commensurate superstructures. Adsorption of amino acids may often induce step faceting as well as bunching to form facets. Adsorption of L-lysine on Cu(001) may cause steps bunching to form facets with all the same chirality. Our preliminary results show that it is possible to manipulate individual molecules with the STM tip even at room temperature. These results may have applications in nano-materials, nano-technology, and very likely also in chiral separations or enantioselective heterogeneous catalysis.     

Raman Scattering Intensities of the NO2 Symmetric Stretching Vibration Band of Some Aromatic Nitrocompounds

Raman scattering intensities of the NO₂ symmetric stretching vibration band were measured for some aromatic nitrocompounds. It was shown that in the case of ortho alkyl-substituted nitrobenzenes, the intensities decrease in an orderly fashion with the increase of the degrees of twisting of NO₂ group from the plane of benzene ring. From this result, it was assumed that the factor determining the intensities in question is the conjugation effect between NO₂ group and benzene ring. Then, the intensities for some para substituted nitrobenzenes were examined, and the influence of substituents was discussed in terms of the conjugation effect. It was shown that when the electron donating character of substituents becomes stronger, the intensities intensity change among the compounds. The more experimental data and the detailed theoretical analysis of them are necessary not only for the elucidation of spectroscopic aspects of the intensity in question, but also for establishing the criterion for the application of it to the group type analysis and the microanalysis. Therefore, further experimental and theoretical examinations are required and now proceeding in our laboratory.     

Graphene field-effect transistors with ferroelectric gating

Recent experiments on ferroelectric gating have introduced a novel functionality, i.e., nonvolatility, in graphene field-effect transistors. A comprehensive understanding in the nonlinear, hysteretic ferroelectric gating and an effective way to control it are still absent. In this Letter, we quantitatively characterize the hysteretic ferroelectric gating using the reference of an independent background doping (n(BG)) provided by normal dielectric gating. More importantly, we prove that n(BG) can be used to control the ferroelectric gating by unidirectionally shifting the hysteretic ferroelectric doping in graphene. Utilizing this electrostatic effect, we demonstrate symmetrical bit writing in graphene-ferroelectric field-effect transistors with resistance change over 500% and reproducible no-volatile switching over 10? cycles.     

场诱导下自旋冰系统[111]方向磁相变过程的蒙特卡洛模拟

自旋冰系统因为具有与固体水(冰Ih)中氢原子构型相同的自旋排列局域规则而具有宏观量子简并的基态,即使十分接近零温也不会达到长程磁有序态.外场的诱导将破坏基态的简并而使系统达到长程磁有序.我们在最近邻铁磁相互作用的简化模型下用蒙特卡洛方法模拟了自旋冰系统在[111]方向外场下的磁相变行为.分别给出了不同温度和不同相互作用强度下的磁化曲线,分析了系统的磁化过程中自旋的取向得有序程度以及相变,探讨了相互作用强度对系统磁相变行为的影响.

偶极矩与选择性分子间引力

选择性分子间引力是指不同分子或同一分子上的两个集团之间的相互作用.两个集团之间的作用比组成两个集团的原子之间作用的总和要大,而且只有当两个集团的电子性质和空间结构都适应时,才表现出较强烈的作用.可以设想,在非极性溶剂中,两种溶质分子之间有无选择性分子间力,对体系的电性质,例如介电常数、摩尔极化度和溶质的平均偶极矩等,将发生不同影响,我们选择了由色谱法证实存在选择性分子间力的十余对分子,通过介电常数的测定和溶质分子平均偶极矩的计算,进一步证实选择性分子间力的存在及产生的影响.     

镍在酸性介质中的阳极钝化研究

在镍与镍合金的电镀生产中,镍的阳极钝化能阻滞它的正常溶解,应设法避免.但在镍的阴极电积过程中,镍表面钝化膜则有利于提高镀层的结合力,因而需将镍基体在镀前作阳极电解预处理.所以,研究镍的阳极纯化行为有其实际意义.对镍的阳极钝化虽曾有不少研究,但关于钝化膜的组成与钝化机理仍未完全清楚.本文用动电位扫描法测定了镍在硫酸介质中的钝化曲线,以及酸度、温度、阴离子等对纯化曲线的影响.从纯化曲线得到了在实验条件下致纯电位值和钝化区的电位范围;推测了在不同电位时产生的钝化膜的组成;以及在一定电位内镍溶解的动力学规律.本文用成相膜理论解释了实验结果,探讨了钝化机理,并为控制钝化过程提供了实验依据.
