Topological properties of Sb(111) surface: A first-principles study

First-principles calculations based on the density functional theory were performed to systematically study the electronic properties of the thin film of antimony in (111) orientation. By considering the spin-orbit interaction, for stoichiometric surface, the topological states keep robust for six-bilayer case, and can be recovered in the three-bilayer film, which are guaranteed by time-reversal symmetry and inverse symmetry. For reduced surface doped by non-magnetic Bi or magnetic Mn atom, localized three-fold symmetric features can be identified. Moreover, band structures show that the non-trivial topological states stand for non-magnetic substitutional Bi atom, while can be eliminated by adsorbed or substitutional magnetic Mn atom.     

Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetric Determination of Antimony by Using Alizarin Red S

Abstract

A sensitive and selective voltammetric method for determination of antimony(III) using Alizarin Red S (ARS) as complexing agent is described. The method is based on the monitoring the oxidation peak of antimony(III)-ARS complex at ?520 mV in ammonium-ammonia buffer (pH = 7.5). The peak current was measured by scanning the potential from ?700 mV versus Ag/AgClto more positive potentials without accumulation in the presence of 1 × 10^?6 mol L^?1 of ARS. The limit of detection (3 s) and limit of quantification (10 s) of the method were calculated from calibration curve as 1.45 µg L^? and 4.8 µg L^? respectively. The calibration plot for antimony(III) was linear in the range of 4.8–30 µg L^?. The interference of various ions was examined. Serious interference from Al(III), Fe(III), Cu(II), Pb(II), and Zn(II) was eliminated by addition of EDTA to the solution. The method was applied to drinking water samples. The recoveries were in the range 94% – 105%. The results obtained from the developed method were compared with those from the differential-pulse anodic-stripping method and no statistically significant difference was found.     

A Complexo-Ion Exchange Method for the Sensitive and Selective Detection Of Iron (III) and Molybdenum(VI) on Antimony(V) Silicate Beads

Abstract

A highly sensitive and selective spot test method has been developed for iron(III) and molybdenum(VI) with a limit of detection 0.01 μg per 0.02 ml and 0.001 μg per 0.02 ml for Fe(III) and Mo(VI) respectively on the beads of antimony(V) silicate cation exchanger. The method utilizes the adsorption ion-exchange properties of antimony(V) silicate and the complex forming ability of sodium diethyldithiocarbamate.     

Spectrophotometric Determination of Antimony (III) By Solvent Extraction with Mandelic Acid and Malachite Green

Abstract

A sensitive and selective method has been developed for the spectrophotometric determination of antimony in the tervalent oxidation state. It was found that antimony (III) reacts with mandelic acid to form a complex anion extractable into chlorobenzene with malachite green in weak acidic media (pH 2.2 to 3.5) at room temperature and is determined indirectly by measuring the absorbance of malachite green in the extract at 628 nm. The calibration graph is linear for antimony (III) over the range 0.088–1.8 mg 1^?1 (7.2 × 10^?7–1.5 × 10^?5 mol 1^?1) with the apparent molar absorptivity ε × 6.9 × 10⁴ 1 mol^?1 cm^?1. Antimony (V) was slightly extracted in the presence of phosphate buffer with ε × 2.7 × 10³ 1 mol^?1 cm^?1.

锑掺杂氧化锡粉体的太赫兹透射特性

以SnCl45H2O和SbCl3为原料,采用液相化学共沉淀法制备锑掺杂氧化锡（ATO）粉体。分析了不同Sb掺杂质量分数条件下,ATO粉体的禁带宽度变化,并对材料在0.2~1.6 THz波段的透射时域和频域谱,以及吸收和屏蔽参数进行了对比分析。结果表明,ATO粉体的禁带宽度随着Sb掺杂量的增加先减小后增大;同时,ATO粉体对THz波的吸收系数随着Sb掺杂量的增加先增大后减小,当Sb掺杂质量分数为9%时,ATO的吸收系数在1.25 THz处达到最大值156.5 cm-1,屏蔽效能在1.24~1.60 THz范围内最高达到45.0 dB。     

Chemical Bonding in Colossal Thermopower FeSb2

FeSb₂ exhibits a colossal Seebeck coefficient ( ) and a record-breaking high thermoelectric power factor. It also has an atypical shift from diamagnetism to paramagnetism with increasing temperature, and the fine details of its electron correlation effects have been widely discussed. The extraordinary physical properties must be rooted in the nature of the chemical bonding, and indeed, the chemical bonding in this archetypical marcasite structure has been heavily debated on a theoretical basis since the 1960s. The two prevalent models for describing the bonding interactions in FeSb₂ are based on either ligand-field stabilization of Fe or a network structure of Sb hosting Fe ions. However, neither model can account for the observed properties of FeSb₂. Herein, an experimental electron density study is reported, which is based on analysis of synchrotron X-ray diffraction data measured at 15 K on a minute single crystal to limit systematic errors. The analysis is supplemented with density functional theory calculations in the experimental geometry. The experimental data are at variance with both the additional single-electron Sb−Sb bond implied by the covalent model, and the large formal charge and expected d-orbital splitting advocated by the ionic model. The structure is best described as an extended covalent network in agreement with expectations based on electronegativity differences.
