Electronic Structure and X‐Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Wurtzite GaxAl1‐xN Solid Alloy

Band energy structure of Ga_xAl_1‐xN solid alloy (x=0.15; 0.65) is calculated. All one‐electron methods of band energy calculations (self‐consistent norm‐conserving pseudo‐potential (NCPP), linear muffin tin orbital method (LMTO) and linear combination atomic orbital (LCAO)) methods give considerable disagreement with the experimental data. We demonstrate that better agreement with experiment is achieved when the NCPP wavefunctions are orthogonalised to the core‐like states. Simultaneously additional geometry optimization improve the agreement with the optical data. We have carried out theoretical and experimental investigation of the band density of states for two representatives of the investigated wurtzite Ga_xAl_1‐xN solid alloys (with x=0.15 and 0.65).

吸附于纳米磷化镓粉体表面碱性品红的拉曼光谱(英文)

本文中,对吸附于纳米磷化镓(GaP)粉体表面的碱性品红拉曼光谱进行了研究。通过将吸附碱性品红与纯碱性品红晶体样品的拉曼光谱进行对比、分析可知,碱性品红在纳米GaP粉体表面发生了化学吸附。在吸附碱性品红样品的拉曼光谱中,位于1200~1320cm-1范围内的光谱特征表明可能有新的化学键(P-O-C+或Ga-O-C+)形成。碱性品红分子的中央碳正离子(C+)与GaP表面具有孤对电子的氧原子形成配位键。红外光谱结果表明,氧原子与纳米GaP粉体表面的磷原子或镓原子键合,以P-O,Ga-O或P-O-Ga形式存在于GaP表面。碱性品红分子的呼吸振动,N-苯环伸缩振动,以及苯环C-C伸缩振动散射强度与纯碱性品红晶体样品相比皆有所增强。N-苯环伸缩振动散射强度增加意味着N原子是除C+离子以外的另一个可以与GaP表面发生化学作用的活性中心,这种化学作用是由N原子与GaP表面存在共轭效应造成的。     

Über den Einfluß von Substitution auf die Kristallstruktur von SrNi2P2

About the Effect of Substitution on the Crystal Structure of SrNi₂P₂ With several series of mixed crystals the effect of substitution on the crystal structure of SrNi₂P₂ (polymorphic, the structures are variants of the ThCr₂Si₂ type) is investigated by X-ray methods. In the compound Ni completely can be substituted by Co and Cu respectively and also P by As; in Sr_1–xCa_xNi₂P₂ there is a gap of the miscibility between 0.3 ≤ x ≤ 0.6. A low substitution of the several elements more than proportionally changes the structure parameters. In this range the mixed crystals with Ca, Cu, and As, respectively, undergo first order phase transitions with significant changes of the bond distances, which will be interpreted by the results of band structure calculations.
