稀土锰氧化物La0.7Ca0.3Mn1-xCuxO3低场磁电阻及电传输特性研究

采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了系列多晶CMR材料La0.7Ca0.3Mn1-xCuxO3（x=0%,1%,5%,10%,15%,20%）。在77-350 K温度范围内测量了样品的电阻率及磁电阻大小。实验结果发现：系列样品TC随掺杂量增加而递减;系列样品的电阻率峰及磁电阻峰在整个测温范围内随掺杂量的增加均依次被展宽直至消失,当掺杂量为x≥10%时,电阻率随温度的变化在整个测温范围内呈现绝缘相行为;同时还发现,掺杂量为x≥10%时,样品的磁电阻在整个测温区内基本表现为隧穿磁电阻。基于我们采用蒙特卡罗模拟方法提出的逾渗模型及隧穿磁电阻模型,对样品的磁电阻行为进行了很好的解释。对系列样品的ρ-T曲线进行lnρ-T^-（1/4）系拟合,发现掺杂量为x=10%样品在整个温区内的lnρ-T^-（1/4）系基本呈线性。     

New coordination catalysts based on rare earth compounds for polymerization of 1-octene

The study of rare earth coordination catalysts for polymerization of 1-octene has been successfully carried out for the first time. Some features and kinetic behavior of polymerization of 1-octene by Nd(naph)₃–AIEt₃ catalyst system in tetrachloro-methane are described. The overall polymerization activation energy E_a measured was 74.5 kJ/mol and the rate equation could be expressed as R_p = k_p [Nd] [M] (k_p = 3.21 × 10^?3 L/mol s, at 50°C). The catalytic activity of various rare earth elements in Ln (naph)₃ and ligands in NdL₃ for the polymerization was compared. A 1-octene oligomer with double bonds was obtained. It is either a white or pale yellow waxy semi-solid. Its number-average molecular weight is about 10³ and the molecular weight distribution is less than 2.     

Effect of group II metal cations on catecholate oxidation.

The unexpected effects of Ca(2+) on the free-radical chain reactions of dopamine, norepinephrine, isoproterenol, and pyrocatechol oxidation are studied using oxygen consumption measurements, EPR-spectroscopy, UV/VIS spectrophotometry, and by potentiometric titration. It is found that the formation of Ca(2+)-catecholate complexes is accompanied by an increase in the dissociation constants (K(ai) ) of their phenolic hydroxyls. At pH>pK(ai) and in the presence of alkaline-earth metal cations, the rate of catecholate oxidation increases (Ca(2+), Mg(2+)> Sr(2+), Ba(2+)), whereas on addition of Zn ions the rate decreases. The effects of Group II metal cations on catecholate autoxidation are concomitant with a transient increase of the EPR signal for metal-semiquinonate complexes. Therefore, the effects of Ca(2+) and other alkaline-earth metal cations on catecholate autoxidation can be defined as 1) additional deprotonation of catechol OH-groups involved in the formation of M(2+)-catecholate complexes, the latter exceeding catechols in the susceptibility to dioxygen-induced oxidation and 2) formation of relatively stable free-radical intermediates responsible for chain propagation.     

Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry — Optimization of the operating conditions in the determination of trace of elements in line-rich emission matrices

Radial viewing 40.68 MHz inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer was used in the determination of Y, Sc and rare earth elements in Eu₂O₃ or Lu₂O₃ as pure rare earth matrices. The Mg II 280.270 nm/Mg I 285.213 nm line intensity ratio was measured to evaluate the robustness of the operating conditions. The operating conditions were affected by varying the incident power and sheathing gas flow rate. The carrier gas flow rate remained a constant value. The relationship between the Mg II 280.270 nm/Mg I 285.213 nm ratio and the excitation temperature was obtained. A dependence of the magnesium ratio in the pure solvent and the corresponding values in the presence of the above matrices was established.

Vibronic intensities in centrosymmetric coordination compounds of the rare earths Part II. A vibronic crystal field-closure-ligand polarisation model and applications to the PrCl6 and UBr6 complex ions in octahedral symmetry

A symmetry adapted formalism to evaluate the vibronic intensities induced by the ungerade vibrational modes in centrosymmetric coordination compounds of the rare earths is put forward and applied to several selected electronic transitions of the PrCl³⁻₆ and UCl²⁻₆ complex ions in octahedral symmetry. This current model is based upon a modified symmetry adapted version of the combined vibronic crystal field-closure-ligand polarisation approach. This model differs from that developed in Part I of this series, in that for the vibronic crystal field contribution to the total transition dipole moment, the closure procedure is employed rather than the utilisation of a truncated basis set for the central metal intermediate electronic states. A criterion is introduced to choose an appropriate set of phases for both the electronic and the vibrational coordinates so that to ensure the right sign for the interference term (which couples together both the vibronic crystal field and the vibronic ligand polarisation contributions to the total transition dipole moment). We have focused our attention on the modulation of the intermolecular force field and a version of a modified general valence force field has been adopted. The reasons for using this formalism rather than the superposition model (SM) are fully discussed in the text. Finally, it is shown that the agreement with experiment is satisfactory for most of the components of the transitions studied, despite the apparent simplicity of our model calculation. General master equations applicable to any f^N electronic configurations are derived to show the utility and flexibility of this current formalism.     

The synthesis and crystal structures of the first rare-earth alkaline-earth selenite chlorides MNd10(SeO3)12Cl8 (M=Ca and Sr)

Two new alkaline-earth Nd selenite chlorides MNd₁₀(SeO₃)₁₂Cl₈ (M=Ca, Sr) were obtained using crystal growth from alkaline-earth chloride melts in quartz tubes. These new compounds crystallize in the orthorhombic system in space group C cca (#68). The compounds were studied by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray diffraction. It was shown that both compounds adopt the same structure type, constructed by complex [M₁₁(SeO₃)₁₂]⁸⁺ slabs separated by chloride anion layers perpendicular to the longest cell parameter. The SeO₃ groups show a pyramidal shape and may be described as SeO₃E tetrahedra. Such SeO₃ groups decorate the Nd-O skeletons forming the [M₁₁(SeO₃)₁₂]⁸⁺ slabs.

Thermal decomposition of rare earth element enanthates

The conditions of formation of Y, La and lanthanide (from Ce(III) to Lu) enanthates were worked out, their composition and their solubilities in water at 291 K were determined, and the conditions of their thermal decomposition were studied. They were prepared as crystalline solids with general formula Ln(C₇H₁₃O₂)₃·nH₂O, wheren=2–10. On heating, they decompose in two or three steps. They first lose some water molecules and then decompose to the oxides directly (salts of Y and heavy lanthanides) or via the intermediate formation of Ln₂O₂CO₃ (salts of La, Pr, Nd, Sm and Eu). Only yttrium enanthate dihydrate loses 2 water molecules on heating to form an anhydrous complex, which decomposes directly to Y₂O₃. The temperatures of dehydration are similar for all complexes (323–343 K), while the temperatures of oxide formation vary irregularly from 823 K for CeO₂ to 1078 K for La₂O₃.     

Thermal and photoluminescence properties of hydrated YPO4:Eu nanowires

In this work, we used the solution precipitation route to synthesize Eu³⁺-doped YPO₄·nH₂O nanowires. The structure, morphology, composition, thermal behavior, and photoluminescence of as-synthesized product were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscopic (FE-SEM) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The dependence of the structure, morphology, composition and luminescent properties on the thermal treatment was investigated. The results indicate that the aqueous synthesis has a better control on the structure, morphology, composition of the products, and that the heat treatment induces the transitions of the structure, composition, and luminescent properties.
