强上转换发光的LiLu_(1-x)Yb_xF_4∶Tm@LiGdF_4核壳纳米晶的制备

利用高温热分解法制备了LiLuF_4∶Yb,Tm@LiGdF_4核壳纳米晶。在980nm激光激发下,与未包覆的样品相比,LiLuF_4∶Yb,Tm@LiGdF_4核壳纳米晶的发光增强了15倍左右,这主要是因为通过惰性壳层的包覆可以有效抑制表面猝灭效应。另外,随着核中Yb~(3+)离子的摩尔分数从20%增加到100%,上转换发光强度逐渐增大,最大增加了12.4倍左右。这主要是由于增加Yb~(3+)离子的浓度可以增加纳米粒子对激发光的吸收和提高Yb~(3+)到Tm~(3+)的能量传递速率。所制备的LiYbF_4∶2%Tm@LiGdF_4核壳纳米晶的发光效率高达4%。     

烧结温度和掺杂浓度对Y_4Zr_3O_(12)∶Eu~(3+)荧光粉发光性质的影响

采用溶胶凝胶法制备了Y_4Zr_3O_(12)∶Eu~(3+)纳米荧光粉,分别采用XRD、TEM和荧光光谱仪对样品的结构、形貌和发光性能进行了表征,探讨了烧结温度和Eu~(3+)掺杂浓度对荧光粉发光性能的影响。结果表明,样品可以被394 nm和467 nm的激发光有效激发。样品的最佳烧结温度和Eu~(3+)离子的最佳掺杂摩尔分数分别为1 400℃和18%。浓度猝灭主要归因于电偶极-电偶极相互作用。     

基于无信息变量消除法与岭极限学习机的新型变量选择方法：以CO气体浓度反演为例

变量选择是光谱分析领域一个重要的组成部分。为了克服传统区间选择法的缺点与不足,基于无信息变量消除法和岭极限学习机提出一种新型的变量选择与评价方法。首先,利用无信息变量消除法剔除整个光谱区间中无信息的波长点;其次,为了解决传统建模方法(偏最小二乘法、BP神经网络等)存在的共线性问题,采用岭极限学习机方法建立回归模型;最后,最佳的特征光谱波长点组合利用特征选择路径图和稀疏度-误差折中曲线进行确定。CO气体的浓度反演实验结果表明：(1)利用无信息变量消除法可以有效筛选出最能表征CO气体透过光谱的特征波长点;(2)岭极限学习机方法具有快速建模、避免共线性和高精度等优点(CO气体浓度反演模型的决定系数可达0.995);(3)特征选择路径图和稀疏度-误差折中曲线可以直观地帮助用户寻找出最佳的特征波长点组合。     

In situ XPS study of Pd(1 1 1) oxidation. Part 1: 2D oxide formation in 10 mbar O2

The oxidation of the Pd(1 1 1) surface was studied by in situ XPS during heating and cooling in 3 × 10⁻³ mbar O₂. A number of adsorbed/dissolved oxygen species were identified by in situ XPS, such as the two dimensional surface oxide (Pd₅O₄), the supersaturated O_ads layer, dissolved oxygen and the R 12.2° surface structure.Exposure of the Pd(1 1 1) single crystal to 3 × 10⁻³ mbar O₂ at 425 K led to formation of the 2D oxide phase, which was in equilibrium with a supersaturated O_ads layer. The supersaturated O_ads layer was characterized by the O 1s core level peak at 530.37 eV. The 2D oxide, Pd₅O₄, was characterized by two O 1s components at 528.92 eV and 529.52 eV and by two oxygen-induced Pd 3d_5/2 components at 335.5 eV and 336.24 eV. During heating in 3 × 10⁻³ mbar O₂ the supersaturated O_ads layer disappeared whereas the fraction of the surface covered with the 2D oxide grew. The surface was completely covered with the 2D oxide between 600 K and 655 K. Depth profiling by photon energy variation confirmed the surface nature of the 2D oxide. The 2D oxide decomposed completely above 717 K. Diffusion of oxygen in the palladium bulk occurred at these temperatures. A substantial oxygen signal assigned to the dissolved species was detected even at 923 K. The dissolved oxygen was characterised by the O 1s core level peak at 528.98 eV. The “bulk” nature of the dissolved oxygen species was verified by depth profiling.During cooling in 3 × 10⁻³ mbar O₂, the oxidised Pd²⁺ species appeared at 788 K whereas the 2D oxide decomposed at 717 K during heating. The surface oxidised states exhibited an inverse hysteresis. The oxidised palladium state observed during cooling was assigned to a new oxide phase, probably the R 12.2° structure.     

Low temperature adsorption of oxygen on reduced V2O3(0 0 0 1) surfaces

Well ordered V₂O₃(0 0 0 1) films were prepared on Au(1 1 1) and W(1 1 0) substrates. These films are terminated by a layer of vanadyl groups under typical UHV conditions. Reduction by electron bombardment may remove the oxygen atoms of the vanadyl layer, leading to a surface terminated by vanadium atoms. The interaction of oxygen with the reduced V₂O₃(0 0 0 1) surface has been studied in the temperature range from 80 to 610 K. Thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS), infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRAS), high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and density functional theory (DFT) were used to study the adsorbed oxygen species. Low temperature adsorption of oxygen on reduced V₂O₃(0 0 0 1) occurs both dissociatively and molecularly. At 90 K a negatively charged molecular oxygen species is observed. Upon annealing the adsorbed oxygen species dissociates, re-oxidizing the reduced surface by the formation of vanadyl species. Density functional theory was employed to calculate the structure and the vibrational frequencies of the O₂ species on the surface. Using both cluster and periodic models, the surface species could be identified as η²-peroxo () lying flat on surface, bonded to the surface vanadium atoms. Although the O-O vibrational normal mode involves motions almost parallel to the surface, it can be detected by infrared spectroscopy because it is connected with a change of the dipole moment perpendicular to the surface.     

Formation and hydrogenation of p(2 × 2)-N on Pt(1 1 1)

The formation of a well-ordered p(2 × 2) overlayer of atomic nitrogen on the Pt(1 1 1) surface and its reaction with hydrogen were characterized with reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS), temperature programmed desorption (TPD), low energy electron diffraction (LEED), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The p(2 × 2)-N overlayer is formed by exposure of ammonia to a surface at 85 K that is covered with 0.44 monolayer (ML) of molecular oxygen and then heating to 400 K. The reaction between ammonia and oxygen produces water, which desorbs below 400 K. The only desorption product observed above 400 K is molecular nitrogen, which has a peak desorption temperature of 453 K. The absence of oxygen after the 400 K anneal is confirmed with AES. Although atomic nitrogen can also be produced on the surface through the reaction of ammonia with an atomic, rather than molecular, oxygen overlayer at a saturation coverage of 0.25 ML, the yield of surface nitrogen is significantly less, as indicated by the N₂ TPD peak area. Atomic nitrogen readily reacts with hydrogen to produce the NH species, which is characterized with RAIRS by an intense and narrow (FWHM ∼ 4 cm⁻¹) peak at 3322 cm⁻¹. The areas of the H₂ TPD peak associated with NH dissociation and the XPS N 1s peak associated with the NH species indicate that not all of the surface N atoms can be converted to NH by the methods used here.     

Effect of oxygen exposure on the magnetic properties of ultrathin Co/Ge(1 1 1) films

Influences of oxygen exposure on the magnetic properties of Co/Ge(1 1 1) ultrathin films have been investigated by surface magneto-optic Kerr effect technique. As the oxygen exposure increases on Co/Ge(1 1 1) films, their magnetic properties could be modified. As an example for 15 ML Co/Ge(1 1 1) films, the coercivity increases from 730 to 920 Oe and the remanence Kerr intensity is reduced for 500 Langmuir (L) of oxygen exposure. Corresponding compositions analyzed by Auger electron spectroscopy measurement shows that the amount of oxygen on the surface layers increases with increasing the oxygen exposure time. Oxygen distributes on the topmost layers of the film. The adsorbed oxygen influences the electronic density of states of Co and results in the changes of the magnetic properties. Besides, the appearance of O/Co/Ge interface could modify the stress anisotropy, and as a result the coercivity of ultrathin Co/Ge(1 1 1) film is enhanced.     

IR and XPS investigation of visible-light photocatalysis—Nitrogen-carbon-doped TiO2 film

To use solar irradiation or interior lighting efficiently, we sought a photocatalyst with high reactivity under visible light. Nitrogen and carbon doping TiO_2−x−yN_xC_y films were obtained by heating the TiO₂ gel in an ionized N₂ gas and then were calcined at 500 °C. The TiO_2−x−yN_xC_y films have revealed an improvement over the TiO₂ films under visible light (wavelength, 500 nm) in optical absorption and photocatalytic activity such as photodegradation of methyl orange. X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, infrared spectrum and UV-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy were used to find the difference of two kinds of films. Nitrogen and carbon doped into substitutional sites of TiO₂ has been proven to be indispensable for band-gap narrowing and photocatalytic activity.

Current–voltage characteristic of BaTiO3−δ in its mixed n/p regime under oxygen potential gradients

Current (I)–voltage (V) characteristic under oxygen potential gradients was experimentally examined on single crystal BaTiO_3−δ in its mixed ion/electron/hole regime at 1000 °C. The variation of I vs. V appears similar to that of an n/p junction, but with the limiting slope (dI/dV) approaching the maximum and minimum possible equilibrium conductances in the given oxygen potential gradient as increasing forward and reverse bias, respectively. This characteristic has been precisely traced theoretically by using the partial ionic and electronic conductivities of BaTiO_3−δ as measured against uniform oxygen chemical potential in equilibrium state. The nonlinear characteristic is attributed to the redistribution of oxygen chemical potential that is caused by a non-vanishing gradient of the ionic transference number of the oxide under the given oxygen potential gradient. It is demonstrated that the bulk transport properties of a mixed conductor may be tailored by terminal voltage in a chemical potential gradient.
