Probing the ferroelectric phase transition in sol–gel‐derived polycrystalline bismuth ferrite thin films

Polycrystalline BiFeO₃ (BFO) thin films were successfully grown on Pt/Ti/SiO₂/Si(100) and SrTiO₃ (STO) (100) substrates using the chemical solution deposition (CSD) technique. X‐ray diffraction (XRD) patterns indicate the polycrystalline nature of the films with rhombohedrally distorted perovskite crystal structure. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) was performed on the sol–gel‐derived powder to countercheck the crystal structure, ferroelectric (FE) to paraelectric (PE) phase transition, and melting point of bismuth ferrite. We observed a significant exothermic peak at 840 °C in DTA graphs, which corresponds to an FE–PE phase transition. Raman spectroscopy studies were carried out on BFO thin films prepared on both the substrates over a wide range of temperature. The room‐temperature unpolarized Raman spectra of BFO thin films indicate the presence of 13 Raman active modes, of which five strong modes were in the low‐wavenumber region and eight weak Raman active modes above 250 cm⁻¹. We observed slight shifts in the lower wavenumbers towards lower values with increase in temperature. The temperature‐dependent Raman spectra indicate a complete disappearance of all Raman active modes at 840 °C corresponding to the FE–PE phase transitions. There is no evidence of soft mode phonons.

Spectral Characteristics of White Organic Light-emitting Diodes Based on Novel Phosphorescent Sensitizer

采用新型贵金属铱的配合物bis(1,2-dipheny1-1H-benzoimida-zole)iridium (acetylacetonate)作为磷光敏化剂,与荧光染料4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-t-butyl-6-(1,1,7,7-tetramethyljulolidyl-9-en-yl)-4H-pyran共同掺杂到聚合物主体材料poly(N-vinylcarbazole)中,以N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(1-naphthyl) (1,1'-biphenyl)-4,4'-diami-ne作为蓝光发光层,制备了白色有机电致发光器件. 通过对掺杂体系的紫外-可见吸收光谱、光致发光光谱以及电致发光光谱的表征,分析了该磷光敏化体系的能量转移机制. 结果表明,在该聚合物磷光荧光双掺杂体系中,由于磷光与荧光材料之间的不完全的F?rster能量传递过程,导致电致发光光谱中同时存在磷光材料三线态到基态与荧光材料单线态到基态的辐射衰减发光. 该掺杂体系成功实现了白光发射,随着偏置电压的升高,器件的CIE色坐标有微小的红移,但都非常接近等能白光点,器件表现出了很好的色纯度.

在对椭圆偏振测量的基本原理进行了简单介绍和推导后,讨论了椭圆偏振测量中椭偏参数关于薄膜参数的灵敏度以及入射角对椭偏参数的影响,并进行了具体的仿真分析,得到如下结论：椭偏参数Delta对薄膜光学常数和薄膜厚度变化的灵敏度明显高于椭偏参数Psi。在椭偏数据处理中,椭偏参数Delta的测量精度直接影响薄膜光学常数和薄膜厚度的拟合精度。为了提高椭偏参数Delta的测量精度,可以选择入射角在膺布儒斯特角附近。所得结论对高精度椭偏测量具有指导意义。

Modeling of IR Spectra of Selectively Substituted Glucopyranoside Nitrates

The frequencies of the normal vibrations of the molecules of 2,6- and 3,6-di-O-nitro-methyl--D-glucopyranosides and 2,3,6-tri-O-nitro-methyl--D-glucopyranoside have been calculated within the valence-force-field approximation in combination with calculation of the absolute intensities of the IR absorption bands of these molecules by the CNDO/2 method. The regularities in the structure of the complex IR absorption bands characteristic for nitro groups formed as a result of selective nitrosubstitution have been explained.     

Bearings-Only Target Motion Analysis Using a Dual-Waveband Infrared System

Infrared systems are widely used for target detection, designation and tracking. For example, an Infrared Search and Track (IRST) system, as a typical airborne or shipboard detecting device, is widely equipped for the remote target detection and tracking. In recent years, the problem of target motion analysis (TMA) and tracking has been studied increasingly extensively. In an airborne infrared system, the problem becomes more difficult due to absence of range information. In this paper, the infrared model and motion model of typical aerial targets are described. An airborne dual-waveband IRST system, which is quite familiar nowadays, is choosed for implementation of target motion analysis. Based on the above, a novel and more practical algorithm of target tracking via bearings-only measurements is formed and the major parameters are defined according to a typical airborne dual-waveband IRST system. Finally, data simulation is implemented, and the results demonstrate the new algorithm has a better performance than before for bearings-only target tracking.

A Fitting Procedure for Magnetic Multiphase Materials Mössbauer Spectra

In this work a practical method of fitting complex multiphase Mössbauer effect spectra is proposed. The task is simplified imposing specific restrictions to the analysing functions, which are appropriate for cases where the component phases spectra do not change substantially during the process under study. The ME spectra can be analysed using the phases subspectra, by defining only a reduced number of parameters. The constraints are equivalent to assume a Doppler velocity transformation v=(v–_m)B _m0/B _m+_m0 for each phase, where _m and B _m are fitting parameters containing information on the phase mean isomer shift and hyperfine field and _m0 and B _m0 their reference values. In this manner physically meaningful results are easy to obtain. The idea was applied to partially nitrogenated R₂Fe₁₇N _x (R= Sm and Y) and partially hydrogen-decomposed Nd–Fe–B materials.
