微乳液-水热结合法制备光色可调的α-NaYF4:Yb,Er,Tm纳米材料

采用微乳液-水热结合法制备了NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+,Tm3+纳米粒子,利用X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电镜(SEM)等手段对样品的物相、结构和形貌进行了分析与表征。产物的X射线衍射峰与标准卡片PDF#77-2042完全一致,属于立方相NaYF4;SEM图片显示所制备的纳米粒子形貌和粒径都比较均一,为120nm左右的棉花状小球,由纳米微粒聚集而成;在980nm光的激发下,纳米粒子能够同时发出蓝光(438和486nm)、绿光(523和539nm)和红光(650nm);通过调节Tm3+:Er3+的比例(0,0.5,0.8,1,2,3,5,7),由色度坐标图(CIE)可以看出当Tm3+和Er3+的比例从0增加到2时,样品的整体发光光色是向绿光方向移动;当Tm3+和Er3+的比例为1:1时,得到伪白光;Tm3+和Er3+的比例从2到7时,样品整体的发光向红光方向移动。     

钇小团簇的结构和电离势的计算

采用密度泛函DFT中的B3LYP方法，选择LANL2DZ双ζ基组，优化并得到了Y_n=(n=2—8)小团簇的基态平衡结构，同时计算出其电离势.结果表明，钇原子之间形成团簇最稳定的结构是倾向于平均配位数最大，其电离势没有“奇-偶”振荡或“幻数”效应，表明Y_n团簇光致电离开始主要发生在Y原子局域化的4d轨道上的电子而不是在5s上.对Tomasz提出的钇团簇电离势的解析式进行合理地修正，修正后电离势解析式的计算值与实验值更接近. 关键词： Y团簇 密度泛函 平衡几何结构 电离势     

Synthesis and barrier properties of poly(ε-caprolactone)-layered silicate nanocomposites

A new polymer-ceramic nanocomposite has been synthesized consisting of well-dispersed, two-dimensional layers of an organically modified mica-type silicate (MTS) within a degradable poly(ε-caprolactone) matrix. A protonated amino acid derivative of MTS was used to promote delamination/dispersion of the host layers and initiate ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone monomer, resulting in poly(ε-caprolactone) chains that are ionically bound to the silicate layers. The polymer chains can be released from the silicate surface by a reverse ion-exchange reaction and were shown to be spectroscopically similar to pure poly(ε-caprolactone). Thick films of the polymer nanocomposite exhibit a significant reduction in water vapor permeability that shows a linear dependence on silicate content. The permeability of nanocomposite containing as low as 4.8% silicate by volume was reduced by nearly an order of magnitude compared to pure poly(ε-caprolactone). © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Preparation of novel structural nanosized Y2O3 powders and their catalytic activity on the decomposition of NH4ClO4

For the first time, novel structural nanosized Y₂O₃ powders were successfully synthesized by the n-butanol soft-template method. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy were used to characterize the products. The results indicate that these products (calcined at 700°C) were comprised of many Y₂O₃ nanomembranes, and the nanomembranes could change into nanorods when calcined at 1000°C. Interestingly, differential thermal analysis studies suggested that the nanosized Y₂O₃ crystals had intense catalytic activity on the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate.     

Hochauflösende Elektronenmikroskopie an Yttriumiodidcarbidoxiden

High Resolution Electron Microscopy on Yttrium Iodide Carbide Oxides An investigation on the real structure of the yttrium iodide carbide oxides has been carried out by means of HRTEM. In the structures planar layer fragments with the general composition Y₂I₂C are linked via chains of corner sharing Y₄O tetrahedra building corrugated layers. A sequence of compounds with the general formula (Y₂I₂C)_nYO can be derived where n denotes the number of linked octahedra chains in the plane sections, and thus represents their width. Irregularities concerning the width of the planar segments have been detected. Besides the so far known members of the series Y₇I₆C₃O und Y₉I₈C₄O, with n = 3 and 4, respectively, an additional ordered compound with alternating 3 and 4 octahedra chains has been found. The introduction of the samples, which are very sensitive to air and moisture, into the microscope has been realised using a specially designed transfer system.     

Clays as architectural units at modified-electrodes

Since Ghosh and Bard [80] first established the field of clay-modified electrodes some 15 years ago, great strides have been made in understanding the nature of the clay structural units and their impact on transport of a variety of electroactive probes (anions, neutrals, small cations, large cations, and compounds with distributed charge). Great strides have also been made in understanding the nature of the layered material in creating access of interlayer sites (size, charge, iron content, pillaring, and organic tailoring). In the last five years several successful applications of clay-modified electrodes have been achieved. Given the explosive growth in tailoring and construction of novel clay structures it seems reasonable to predict further significant advances in applications involving clay-modified electrodes.     

Near- and mid-infrared spectroscopy of sol–gel derived ormosils: vinyl and phenyl silicates

The suitability of ormosils as photonic materials was investigated. Vinyl and phenyl silicates were synthesised below 100°C. A detailed assignment of mid-infrared vibrational absorption bands is given. This allowed assignment of overtone and combination bands in the near-infrared region and an assessment of residual water contamination, which is low and can be expelled by evacuation. These ormosils have low intrinsic and extrinsic optical absorption in the visible spectral region and at useful wavelengths in the near-infrared.
