Influence of ligand coordination of cobalt ions on structural properties of ZnO-ZnF2-B2O3 glass system by means of spectroscopic studies

The glasses of the composition 10ZnO-30ZnF₂-60B₂O₃ doped with different concentrations of CoO were prepared. Differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) studies, optical absorption, photoluminescence and infrared spectra of these glasses have been carried out. DSC studies have indicated that the resistance of the glass against devitrification increases with the increase in the concentration of CoO. Optical absorption spectra have exhibited one octahedral band due to ⁴T_1g(F)→²T_1g(H) and two tetrahedral bands due to ⁴A₂(⁴F)→⁴T₁(⁴P) ⁴A₂(⁴F)→⁴T₁(⁴F) transitions of Co²⁺ ions at about 525, 570 and 1400 nm, respectively. As the concentration of CoO is increased the tetrahedral bands are observed to grow at the expense of octahedral band. The luminescence spectra have exhibited two emission bands in the spectral regions of 600-700 nm and 800-900 nm due to ⁴T₁(⁴P)→⁴A₂(⁴F) and ⁴T₁(⁴P)→⁴T₂(⁴F) tetrahedral transitions of Co²⁺ ions, respectively. With the increasing content of cobalt ions in the glass matrix, the half width and intensity of these bands are observed to increase. The analysis of the results of these two spectra coupled with IR spectra has indicated that as the concentration of CoO is increased in the glass matrix, the tetrahedral occupancy of cobalt ions dominates over the octahedral occupancy and increase the rigidity of the glass network.

Electrical and optical characteristics of porous silicon impregnated with LaF3 by a novel chemical bath technique

The structural, electrical and optical characteristics of porous silicon (PS) due to the impregnation of LaF₃ into PS by a novel chemical-bath deposition (CBD) technique have been investigated in this article. Without removing the PS from the anodization chamber the impregnation with LaF₃ has been done by reacting LaCl₃ with HF in the same chamber at room temperature. The impregnation of LaF₃ was confirmed by the SEM on the cross-section of the LaF₃/PS/Si system and EDX. The modification of PS surface by LaF₃ had direct influence on the electrical and optical properties of PS. Electrical properties of Ag/LaF₃/PS/p-Si/Ag structures were studied through the current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics. Formation of metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) diode was evident whose forward current increased with annealing. A diode factor of about 2.4 has been obtained for the annealed heterostructure indicating a high density of trap states. The C⁻²-V curves of all samples showed negative flat band voltage of around −2 V confirming a large number of fixed positive charges in the LaF₃. The photoluminescence (PL) intensity of the LaF₃-impregnated PS showed aging for the as-deposited samples, but when annealed PS structure recovered the PL intensity. Experimental results show that the optimized chemical bath passivation process for the LaF₃ on porous silicon could enable the porous silicon to be an important material for photonic application.     

Yb3+/Ho3+/Tm3+共掺碲酸盐玻璃的上转换白光发射及其机理研究

采用高温熔融法分别制备了Yb3+/Ho3+,Yb3+/Tm3+和Yb3+/Ho3+/Tm3+共掺的碲酸盐玻璃。在980nm红外激光激发下,Yb3+/Ho3+/Tm3+共掺的玻璃样品显示了强的蓝光、绿光和红光发射,分别对应于Tm3+的1 G4→3 H6跃迁、Ho3+的5 F4(5 S2)→5I 8跃迁以及Ho3+的5 F5→5I 8和Tm3+的1 G4→3 F4跃迁。通过对比发现,Yb3+/Ho3+/Tm3+共掺样品中的红、绿光积分发射强度比值(3.95)明显大于Yb3+/Ho3+共掺样品(1.69),这是由于Ho3+和Tm3+间存在交叉弛豫过程3 H4(Tm3+)+5I 6(Ho3+)→3 F4(Tm3+)+5 F5(Ho3+)和3 F4(Tm3+)+5I 8(Ho3+)→3 H6(Tm3+)+5I 7(Ho3+)所致。在激发功率密度为8.2 W.cm-2时,Yb3+/Ho3+/Tm3+共掺样品的上转换发光色坐标值为x=0.345,y=0.338,非常接近于等能白光(x=0.333,y=0.333)。     

Gd替代对La0.6-xGdxSr1.4MnO4磁性和输运性质的影响

随着x的增加，多晶La0.6-xGdxSr1.4MnO4（x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6）的零场冷却 曲线从类自旋玻璃型转变成顺磁型，并且每条零场冷却 曲线都有一在20K的拐点。这一行为可以从Gd和Mn各自对材料总磁性的不同贡献来理解。另外，在所有的样品中，从100K到室温，都观察到了热激活导电行为。由于Mn-Mn间强的反铁磁耦和，直到外场达到50 kOe，都没有观察到明显的磁电阻效应。     

Host dependent thermal stability and frequency upconversion of Er^3＋-doped heavy metal oxyfluoride germanate glasses

The upconversion properties of Er^3＋-doped heavy metal oxyfluoride germanate glasses under 975 nm excitation have been investigated. The intense green （551 and 529 nm） and relatively weak red （657 nm） emissions corresponding to the transitions ^4S3/2→^4I15/2, ^2H11/2→^4 I15/2 and ^4F9/2 →^4I15/2, respectively, were simultaneously observed at room temperature. The content of PbF2 has an important influence on the upconversion luminescence emission. With increasing content of PbF2, the intensities of green （529 nm） and red （657 nm） emissions increase slightly, while the green emission （551 nm） increases markedly. These results suggest that PbF2 has an influence on the green （551 nm） emission more than on the green （529 nm） and red （657 nm） emissions.

On‐line surface enhanced Raman spectroscopic detection in a recyclable Au@SiO2 modified glass capillary

A facile method was developed to fabricate a high sensitive, reproducible and recyclable surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) active glass capillary. The Au nanoparticles were synthesized through a seed‐mediated growth approach and then self‐assembled onto the inner wall of glass capillaries. The attached Au nanoparticles were homogeneously coated with thin silica shell by using the silane coupling agent to functionalize the Au surface. By using thiophenol (TP) as SERS probe molecules, the substrate exhibited robust SERS effects. The adsorbed SERS probe molecules could be rapidly and completely removed away by flowing sodium borohydride solution and thus to obtain a refresh Au@SiO₂ film‐coated substrate for the cyclic detection on different species. The on‐line detection of TP and malachite green (MG) with different concentrations was performed in the flowing system. The intensities of SERS signals were dependent on concentrations of the detected molecules. The results indicated that the SERS‐active substrate has potential applications on the on‐line qualitative and quasi‐quantitative analysis. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Replica Symmetry Breaking in Short-Range Spin Glasses: Theoretical Foundations and Numerical Evidences

We discuss replica symmetry breaking (RSB) in spin glasses. We update work in this area, from both the analytical and numerical points of view. We give particular attention to the difficulties stressed by Newman and Stein concerning the problem of constructing pure states in spin glass systems. We mainly discuss what happens in finite-dimensional, realistic spin glasses. Together with a detailed review of some of the most important features, facts, data, and phenomena, we present some new theoretical ideas and numerical results. We discuss among others the basic idea of the RSB theory, correlation functions, interfaces, overlaps, pure states, random field, and the dynamical approach. We present new numerical results for the behaviors of coupled replicas and about the numerical verification of sum rules, and we review some of the available numerical results that we consider of larger importance (for example, the determination of the phase transition point, the correlation functions, the window overlaps, and the dynamical behavior of the system).
