P‐type tin‐oxide thin film transistors for blue‐light detection application

We reported the characteristics of p‐type tin‐oxide (SnO) thin film transistors (TFTs) upon illumination with visible light. Our p‐type TFT device using the SnO film as the active channel layer exhibits high sensitivity toward the blue‐light with a high light/dark read current ratio (I_light/I_dark) of 8.2 × 10³ at a very low driven voltage of <3 V. Since sensing of blue‐light radiation is very critical to our eyes, the proposed p‐type SnO TFTs with high sensitivity toward the blue‐light show great potential for future blue‐light detection applications.

     

Effect of high temperature band gap of GaN annealing on strain and nanoparticles

<正>Black-coloured GaN nanoparticles with an average grain size of 50 nm have been obtained by annealing GaN nanoparticles under flowing nitrogen at 1200℃for 30 min.XRD measurement result indicates an increase in the lattice parameter of the GaN nanoparticles annealed at 1200℃,and HRTEM image shows that the increase cannot be ascribed to other ions in the interstitial positions.If the as-synthesised GaN nanoparticles at 950℃are regarded as standard,the thermal expansion changes nonlinearly with temperature and is anisotropic;the expansion below 1000℃is smaller than that above 1000℃.This study provides an experimental demonstration for selecting the proper annealing temperature of GaN.In addition,a large blueshift in optical bandgap of the annealed GaN nanoparticles at 1200℃is observed,which can be ascribed to the dominant transitions from the C（Γ₇） with the peak energy at 3.532 eV.     

亚甲基蓝在胶体银表面的吸附——表面增强拉曼光谱和密度泛函理论计算

获得了不同浓度下亚甲基蓝(methylene blue,MB)溶液在银溶胶中的表面增强拉曼光谱。结果表明： 亚甲基蓝分子与银纳米粒子高浓度下物理吸附为主,低浓度下化学吸附为主;不同浓度下存在不同的吸附取向,即高浓度下为“直立”取向,低浓度为“平躺”取向。通过观察低浓度下MB在银胶中吸附时间对谱图的影响,得知低浓度下吸附取向不随时间发生变化。应用密度泛函(DFT)方法在B3LYP/6-31+G*和LANL2DZ基组水平上对亚甲基蓝阳离子(MB+)及MB+与Ag原子形成的不同构型体系进行了结构优化和频率计算。实验与理论计算结果表明,MB+有可能通过N—Ag和S—Ag与Ag原子形成两种较强的吸附构型。电荷布居分析表明,与S原子相比,芳香环上的N原子更易与Ag发生相互作用。还对实验观察到的部分谱峰及它们的振动模式作出了初步归属和讨论。

光谱法研究灿烂甲酚蓝与DNA的相互作用

利用紫外-可见(UV/Vis)光谱法研究了小分子染料灿烂甲酚蓝(BCB)与小牛胸腺DNA(ct DNA)的相互作用。实验表明,DNA在低浓度时,BCB能结合DNA形成1∶1的化合物,结合常数为4.3×104 L·mol-1,DNA与BCB的主要结合方式是“静电作用”方式;而在较高浓度时,则变成“嵌入作用”方式。为了进一步证明BCB分子嵌入到DNA, 利用了羟丙基-β环糊精(HP-β-CD)与BCB的包合行为来研究。实验证明,BCB分子能进入HP-β-CD的疏水性空腔形成包合物, 稳定常数为1.98×103 L·mol-1;高浓度DNA存在时,BCB分子从HP-β-CD空腔中离解而与DNA发生嵌入作用。据此可推断出BCB分子能嵌入到DNA的双螺旋沟槽中。BCB分子属经典的嵌入剂。     

Comprehensive research about the cooperative up-conversion luminescence of the ytterbium-doped oxyfluoride vitroceramics

The cooperative up-conversion blue luminescence of Yb^{3+} ion-doped oxyfluoride vitroceramic material (Yb:FOV) and the influence of co-doped Ho^{3+} ion, when excited by a 960 nm diode-laser, are studied in this paper. A strong blue 479.1 nm up-conversion luminescence of the Yb:FOV material is discovered. It is found that the 479.1 nm luminescence results from the cooperative up-conversion of the coupled states of the Yb^{3+}－Yb^{3+} clusters formed by two adjacent Yb^{3+} ions. The measured cooperative up-conversion luminescence main peak 479.1 nm of this paper is different from the characteristic fluorescence main peak of the Tb^{3+} ion positioned at about 495－504 nm wave-range. Our result coincides with all the published correct papers, whose cooperative up-conversion luminescence main peaks of the direct Yb^{3+}－Yb^{3+} clusters are all positioned at about 476－480 nm wave-range. All of these indicate that the large cooperative up-conversion blue luminescence of the direct Yb^{3+}－Yb^{3+} clusters discovered in this paper is stable. It further proves that the cooperative up-conversion green luminescence may result from the Yb^{3+}-Tb^{3+} cooperative effect. In particular, the original work of this paper improves considerably on the traditional concept by the experimental facts that the blue 479.1 nm cooperative up-conversion luminescence strength of Yb(5):FOV is 230 times greater than that of fluoride glass Yb(3):ZBLAN. This is a great development to meet the practical requirements for blue up-conversion luminescence strength. This result indicates that the large cooperative up-conversion blue luminescence could be achieved excellently by using a suitable material, such as oxyfluoride vitroceramic, which provides a better chance to form better Yb^{3+}－Yb^{3+} clusters and has less relaxation to keep the more efficient up-conversion luminescence. It is also found that impurities seriously reduce the cooperative up-conversion luminescence intensity due to the cross-relaxation from the Yb^{3+}－Yb^{3+} clusters, which means that the cooperative up-conversion blue luminescence could be further improved by pure Yb^{3+} ion-doped materials that have as few impurities as possible to reduce the cross-relaxation. The large cooperative up-conversion blue luminescence of Yb(5):FOV also comes from its higher concentration (5 mol%) of activator Yb^{3+} ion which acts well because the cooperative up-conversion blue luminescence intensity varies linearly against the square of the concentration of Yb^{3+} ions in the range of 0.5－5 mol%. In summary, the great improvement of our work on cooperative up-conversion blue luminescence results from the comprehensive enhancement of the factors of better-coupled chance of the Yb^{3+}－Yb^{3+} clusters, less cross-relaxation, better concentration contribution of Yb^{3+} activator, non-saturation, and better up-conversion luminescence efficiency.

Characterization and activity of visible-light-driven TiO2 photocatalyst codoped with lanthanum and iodine

The novel visible-light-activated La/I/TiO₂ nanocomposition photocatalyst was successfully synthesized using precipitation-dipping method, and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC) and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS). The photocatalytic activity of La/I/TiO₂ was evaluated by studying photodegradation of reactive blue 19 as a probe reaction under simulated sunlight irradiation. Photocatalytic experiment results showed that the maximum specific photocatalytic activity of the La/I/TiO₂ photocatalyst appeared when the molar ratio of La/Ti was 2.0 at%, calcined at 350 °C for 2 h, due to the sample with good crystallization, high BET surface area and small crystal size. Under simulated sunlight irradiation, the degradation of reactive blue 19 aqueous solution reached 98.6% in 80 min, which showed La/I/TiO₂ photocatalyst to be much higher photocatalytic activity compared to standard Degussa P25 photocatalyst. The higher visible light activity is due to the codoping of lanthanum and iodine.     

Investigation of the optical limiting properties of acid blue29 in various solvents

The optical limiting properties of acid blue29 solutions in different solvents are investigated. Experiments are performed using a CW He-Ne Laser beam at 632.8 nm wavelength and 35 mW power. The strength of the optical limiting action is dramatically influenced by the solvent. Multiple diffraction rings were observed when the samples were exposed to laser radiation. The effect of concentration, solvent and laser intensity on the diffraction rings are studied experimentally. Our results show that the nonlinear refraction is the dominant mechanism to explain the optical limiting behavior in acid blue29.     

Interaction of Alkali Blue 6B with Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide

The microsurface adsorption–spectral correction (MSASC) technique has been applied to investigate the interaction of alkali blue 6B (AB6B) with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The aggregation of AB6B on CTAB obeys the Langmuir isothermal adsorption. The aggregate was characterized by MSASC. For the monomer aggregate AB6B₂CTAB formed, its binding constant is calculated to be K = 3.01·10⁵ and its molar absorptivity to be 2.45·10⁶ liters·cm^–1 at = 690 nm. The adsorption has been used to carry out quantitative detection of cationic surfactant in samples.
