Electrochemical behaviour of sputtered c-V2O5 and LiCoO2 thin films for solid state lithium microbatteries

Here are reported for the first time electrochemical data on all-solid-state lithium microbatteries using crystalline sputtered V₂O₅ thin films as cathode materials and LiPON as solid electrolyte. The stable specific capacity of 30 µAh/cm² found with a 2.4 µm thick film competes very well with the best values obtained for solid state microbatteries using amorphous films. With the challenge of decreasing the temperature of heat treatment for sputtered LiCoO₂ thin films, we show that a temperature of 500 °C combined with an optimized bias sputtering (-50 V) allows to get highly crystalline deposits, to minimize the presence of Co₃O₄ and to suppress any trace of the cubic phase. At the same time the theoretical specific capacity is reached in the 4.2 V-3 V range and a good cycling behaviour is achieved with a high capacity of 50 µAh/cm²/µm after 140 cycles at 10 µA.cm².     

Annealing effect on planar waveguides in LiNbO3 produced by oxygen ion implantation

We reported on planar waveguides in stoichiometric lithium niobate fabricated by 4.5 MeV oxygen ion implantation with a dose of 6 × 10¹⁴ ions/cm² at room temperature. After ion implantation, these samples were annealed at 240 °C, 260 °C, and 300 °C for 30 min. We investigated annealing effect on the guiding modes and near-field images in the waveguides by prism-coupling method and end-face coupling method respectively. We found that for the extraordinary refractive index a positive alternation occurred in the near-surface region while a negative alternation happened at the end of ion track. Moreover, we measured the transmission spectra for the pure sample and implanted samples before and after annealed at different temperatures, and we observed an absorption peak at ∼480 nm (2.6 eV) in all of these SLN samples.     

Electromagnetic properties of manganese-zinc ferrite with lithium substitution

Polycrystalline manganese-zinc ferrite with lithium substitution of composition Li_0.5xMn_0.4Zn_0.6−xFe_2+0.5xO₄ (0.0≤x≤0.4) was prepared by the usual ceramic method. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed that the samples have a spinel structure and are of single phase for some values of Li content. Lithium doping considerably modifies saturation magnetization since its value increases from 57.5 emu/g for x=0.0 to 82.9 emu/g for x=0.4. Lithium inclusion increases the real permeability (over 1 MHz) while the natural resonance frequency shifts to lower values as the fraction of Li increases. These ferrites show good electromagnetic properties as absorbers in the microwave range of 1 MHz - 1 GHz.

Tb3+掺杂锂铝硅酸盐玻璃的光致发光和辐照致发光

采用熔融-淬冷法制备了Tb3+掺杂锂铝硅酸盐闪烁玻璃,用紫外激发光谱、发射光谱及荧光寿命表征了光致发光性能,用X射线和阴极射线激发测试了辐射致发光性能。研究结果表明：低Tb3+掺杂浓度时,随着其浓度增大,Tb3+间的交叉弛豫增加导致了5D₃→7F_j跃迁的能量逐渐向5D₄→7F_j迁移转变,5D₃激发态的荧光寿命和发射强度均明显下降,5D₄-7F_j发射强度逐渐增大。较高Tb3+浓度时,其浓度继续增加会提升非辐射比例,是荧光寿命降低和荧光猝灭的最主要原因。比较光致发光和辐照致发光性能,发现随着激发源的能量上升,会增加激发态5D₃能级向5D₄能级的能量转移,同时,由于玻璃的密度低会导致辐照致发光效率随激发源的能量上升而下降。
