Ultrasonic Study on Jahn-Teller Distortions in La1=3Sr2=3CoO3

系统研究了La1=3Sr2=3CoO3单相多晶样品在低温下的电磁输运性质和超声特性．电阻率测量表明,La1=3Sr2=3CoO3在整个温区内都表现出金属特性,并且在235 K处电阻率-温度曲线的斜率发生了变化,同时伴随着铁磁相变．超声声速在铁磁相变温度以下出现软化,并在120 K附近达到最小,之后,随着温度的进一步降低,声速开始硬化,同时出现了一个宽大的超声衰减峰．分析认为,该超声异常可能起源于中等自旋态Co3+的Jahn-Teller效应．     

Photocatalysts of Cr Doped TiO2 Film Prepared by Micro Arc Oxidation

通过微弧氧化法在Na3PO4+K2Cr2O7电解液中制备了系列铬掺杂二氧化钛薄膜. X射线和扫描电镜显示薄膜的主要晶相为锐钛矿型二氧化钛,且表面为多孔结构. 在可见光照射下,薄膜对降解亚甲基蓝和分解水有着较好的光催化性能,这主要是由铬的掺杂引起的.由于铬的掺杂,一方面在二氧化钛中形成了Cr3+/Cr4+离子对,另一方面在带隙中形成了氧的空位能级. 前者降低了电子-空穴的复合几率,而后者在二氧化钛的禁带中形成了新的能级. 新能级的形成使得由二氧化钛价带跃迁至氧空位能级所需的光子能量减少. 另外探讨了微弧氧化形成掺杂二氧化钛薄膜的机制.     

The effect of magnetic field heat treatment on magnetostriction of Terfenol-D 2-2 composites

Based on the analysis of the magnetostriction for Terfenol-D composites, Terfenol-D 2-2 magnetostrictive composites have been prepared with laminations perpendicular to [1 1 2] axes. Then one of the samples was annealed in the vacuum at 423 K for 15 min at the magnetic field of 240 kA/m, which is along the direction of laminations and vertical to the [1 1 2] axes of the specimen. The static magnetostriction λ and dynamic magnetostrictive coefficient d₃₃ of samples were measured under the compressive stress of 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 MPa. Effects of the compressive stress and the magnetic field heat treatment on the magnetostriction λ have been investigated. It is found that the magnetostriction of 2-2 composites can be improved under the compressive stress when the magnetic field is larger than 20 kA/m. The magnetostriction of 2-2 composites with the magnetic field heat treatment increases under compressive stress, and it can reach 1390×10⁻⁶ at the magnetic field of 200 kA/m and under the compressive stress of 4 MPa, much larger than the value of 860×10⁻⁶ without the magnetic field heat treatment. The highest magnetostriction of the 2-2 composite with the magnetic field heat treatment can reach 1530×10⁻⁶. The dynamic magnetostrictive coefficient d₃₃ of 2-2 composites with the magnetic field heat treatment have been improved, compared with that without magnetic field heat treatment. The maximum value of d₃₃ of the sample with magnetic field heat treatment is 71% larger than that without magnetic field heat treatment.     

Effects of sintering temperature and Bi2O3 content on microstructure and magnetic properties of LiZn ferrites

The effects of sintering temperature and Bi₂O₃ content on the microstructure and magnetic properties of lithium–zinc (LiZn) ferrites prepared by a conventional ceramic method were investigated. The results show that the densification behavior and grain growth rate were greatly improved by the addition of Bi₂O₃, because a liquid phase sintering occurred during the sintering process at high temperature due to the low-melting point of Bi₂O₃ (825 °C). X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of the slightly doped samples did not reveal the appearance of any phase other than spinel LiZn ferrite. However, the secondary phase of perovskite BiFeO₃ was detected for Bi₂O₃ content of more than 0.25 wt%. The studies further show that Bi oxide was present at grain boundary, and promoted the grain growth as reaction center at lower temperature. A high saturation magnetization, squareness ratio, minimum ferromagnetic resonance linewidth and low coercive force were obtained for the sample with 1.00 wt% Bi₂O additive at lower sintering temperature (1100 °C).     

聚(2-甲氧基-5-辛氧基)对苯乙炔/TiO2纳米复合材料的光物理性能研究

通过原位强碱诱导下的脱氯化氢缩合聚合法制备了一系列不同纳米TiO2含量的聚(2-甲氧基-5-辛氧基)对苯乙炔/纳米二氧化钛(PMOCOPV/TiO2)光电复合材料。红外光谱和拉曼光谱证实了在纳米TiO2表面的包覆层为PMOCOPV。紫外-可见吸收光谱表明随着TiO2含量的增加PMOCOPV/TiO2纳米复合材料的吸收强度提高。高分辨透射电镜观察发现PMOCOPV/TiO2是具有核-壳结构的纳米复合粒子,直径约30 nm,其中PMOCOPV包覆层的厚度约为8~10 nm。荧光光谱研究表明,PMOCOPV/TiO2纳米复合材料的最大发射波长随着TiO2含量的增加发生红移,荧光寿命约为1 ns,且随着TiO2含量的增加荧光强度和荧光寿命得到显著提高,并通过PMOCOPV/TiO2纳米复合材料中的激子离化和电荷传输过程以及复合材料中的电势能级探讨了PMOCOPV/TiO2的荧光量子效率和荧光强度增加的机理。     

Structural,thermal and ion transport studies on nanocomposite polymer electrolyte-{(PEO + SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>):NH<Subscript>4</Subscript>SCN} system

Development and characterisation of polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based nanocomposite polymer electrolytes comprising of (PEO-SiO₂): NH₄SCN is reported. For synthesis of the said electrolyte, polyethylene oxide has been taken as polymer host and NH₄SCN as an ionic charge supplier. Sol–gel-derived silica powder of nano dimension has been used as ceramic filler for development of nanocomposite electrolytes. The maximum conductivity of electrolyte ∼2.0 × 10⁻⁶ S/cm is observed for samples containing 30 wt.% silica. The temperature dependence of conductivity seems to follow an Arrhenius-type, thermally activated process over a limited temperature range.     

Rotational analysis of the (4, 8) band in the A-X system of Cl2

Thirty-four rovibronic spectral lines of the Ω=1/2 component of the (4, 8) band in the A-X system of ³⁵Cl₂⁺ were observed in the range of 16,940-17,010 cm⁻¹, employing optical heterodyne-enhanced velocity modulation spectroscopy. Nonlinear least-squares fitting the effective Hamiltonians results in precise band origin and other molecular constants of the levels involved.     

Spectroscopic database of CO2 line parameters: 4300-7000 cm

A new spectroscopic database for carbon dioxide in the near infrared is presented to support remote sensing of the terrestrial planets (Mars, Venus and the Earth). The compilation contains over 28,500 transitions of 210 bands from 4300 to 7000 cm⁻¹ and involves nine isotopologues: ¹⁶O¹²C¹⁶O (626), ¹⁶O¹³C¹⁶O (636), ¹⁶O¹²C¹⁸O (628), ¹⁶O¹²C¹⁷O (627), ¹⁶O¹³C¹⁸O (638), ¹⁶O¹³C¹⁷O (637), ¹⁸O¹²C¹⁸O (828), ¹⁷O¹²C¹⁸O (728) and ¹⁸O¹³C¹⁸O (838). Calculated line positions, line intensities, Lorentz half-width and pressure-induced shift coefficients for self- and air-broadening are taken from our recent measurements and are presented for the Voigt molecular line shape. The database includes line intensities for 108 bands measured using the McMath-Pierce Fourier transform spectrometer located on Kitt Peak, Arizona. The available broadening parameters (half-widths and pressure-induced shifts) of ¹⁶O¹²C¹⁶O are applied to all isotopologues. Broadening coefficients are computed using empirical expressions that have been fitted to the experimental data. There are limited data for the temperature dependence of widths and so no improvement has been made for those parameters. The line intensities included in the catalog vary from 4×10⁻³⁰ to 1.29×10⁻²¹ cm⁻¹/(molecule cm⁻²) at 296 K. The total integrated intensity for this spectral interval is 5.9559×10⁻²⁰ cm⁻¹/(molecule cm⁻²) at 296 K.     

Up-conversion white light of Tm/Er/Yb tri-doped CaF2 phosphors

Tm³⁺/Er³⁺/Yb³⁺ tri-doped CaF₂ phosphors were synthesized using a hydrothermal method. The phosphors were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and up-conversion (UC) emission spectra. After annealing, the phosphors emitted white light under a 980 nm continuous wave diode laser (CW LD 2 W) excitation. As the excitation power density changed in the range of 20-260 W/cm², the chromaticity coordinates of the UC light of the phosphor Ca_0.885Tm_0.005Er_0.01Yb_0.1F₂ fell well in the white region of the 1931 CIE diagram. For the proportion of red, green and blue (RGB) in white light is strict, key factors for achieving UC white light, such as host materials, rare earth ions doping concentrations, annealing temperatures, as well as the excitation power densities, were investigated and discussed.     

Electrodeposition and properties of Zn-nanosized TiO2 composite coatings

Nanosized TiO₂ particles were prepared by sol-gel method. The TiO₂ particles were co-deposited with zinc from a sulphate bath at pH 4.5 using electrodeposition technique. The corrosion behavior of the coatings was assessed by electrochemical polarization, impedance, weight-loss and salt spray tests. Wear resistance and microhardness of the composite coating was measured. The smaller grain size of the composite coatings was observed in the presence of TiO₂ and it was confirmed by the images of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques.
