Thermal decomposition of cobalt nitrato compounds: Preparation of anhydrous cobalt(II)nitrate and its characterisation by Infrared and Raman spectra

The thermal decomposition of Co(NO₃)₂·6H₂O (1) as well as that one of NO[Co(NO₃)₃] (Co(NO₃)₂·N₂O₄) (2) was followed by thermogravimetric (TG) measurements, X-ray recording and Raman and IR spectra. The stepwise decomposition reactions of 1 and 2 leading to anhydrous cobalt(II)nitrate (3) were established. In N₂ atmosphere, cobalt oxides are finally formed whereas in H₂/N₂ (10% H₂) cobalt metal is produced. Rapid heating of cobalt(II)nitrate hexahydrate causes melting (formation of a hydrate melt) and therefore side reactions in the hydrate melt by incoupled reactions and evolution/evaporation of different species as, e.g., HNO₃, NO₂, etc. In case of larger amounts in dense packing in the sample container, the formation of oxo(hydoxo)nitrates is possible at higher temperature. For 2, its thermal decomposition to 3 was followed and its decomposition mechanism is proposed.     

Stabilization of γ‘ phase in Bi<Subscript>4</Subscript>V<Subscript>2-x</Subscript>Fe<Subscript>x</Subscript><Superscript>II</Superscript>O<Subscript>11-1.5x</Subscript> series

Summary This work reports the room-temperature stabilization of the Bi₄V_2-xFe_x^IIO_11-1.5x γ ‘ phase, a promising ionic conductive material that finds application in solid oxide fuel cell and oxygen sensor devices. The Fe(II) cation proved to be a better stabilizer than Fe(III), which was previously used, since a lower substitution degree of V⁵⁺ is needed for the former. Powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry were used in these experiments.     

Anomalies of the partition coefficient and properties of crystals in the region of low concentrations of an isomorphous admixture. 1. Unusual decomposition of solid solutions of the NaCl—CdCl2 system

Solid solutions NaCl—CdCl₂ were studied in an interval of CdCl₂ concentrations of 0.05—3 mol.% by Raman spectroscopy. The molecular form Na₂CdCl₄ decomposes: Na₂CdCl₄ 2Na⁺ + Cd²⁺ + 2Cl₂ ^– + 2e^–; 2Na + 2e^– 2Na⁰. Free sodium atoms form color centers of crystal (F centers) in the region of jumpwise changing the partition coefficient of CdCl₂ in NaCl (K jump).     

Investigation of the Curing Mechanism in the GPTS/APTS Binder System

The acid catalyzed sol-gel reaction in the mixed binder system, 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTS)/3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS) was investigated and one step and two step synthesis process were compared. Hydrolysis product was observed using the ¹H, ¹³C NMR and Raman spectra. Especially, based on the Raman spectra, epoxy ring opening was observed, varying the ratio of GPTS to APTS. The two step process made clear sol, while the one step process resulted in a milky suspension. According to the Raman spectra, the epoxy ring opening reaction kinetics proceeded slower in the two step process than one step process. Throughout the two step process, it was possible to apply the binder for the coating of substrate.

cBN晶体的Raman光谱测量

 用R1000激光共聚焦Raman光谱仪研究了高温高压合成棒中的立方氮化硼（cBN）晶体、原材料六方氮化硼（hBN）和催化剂。Raman光谱测量结果表明：伴随cBN晶体生长的散射峰,出现了两条全新的Raman散射峰（约1.088 cm^-1和约1.368 cm^-1）。该散射峰所对应的物质可能是在高温高压条件下hBN向cBN转变时生成的不完全产物——BN的一种新相。这一结果将有助于进一步讨论cBN的生长机理。     

常温高压下石膏在水中溶解及相变现象的研究

 研究常温下200~1 100 MPa压力范围内石膏的Raman光谱,原位观测了随压力升高,石膏在水中的溶解现象,其过程中伴随着石膏的相变。结果表明：压力小于407 MPa时,石膏的形态无明显变化;随着压力的升高,石膏开始溶解,溶解至一定程度,石膏发生了向半水石膏转化的相变;相变完成后,半水石膏继续溶解至消失。石膏这一溶解相变过程表明在地球内部与压力相应的深部区域内,也可能会发生矿物的溶解相变。

MOCVD生长的InN薄膜中In分凝现象

利用金属有机物化学气相淀积(MOCVD)方法不同生长条件下在c面蓝宝石衬底上制备了InN薄膜,通过不同的物理表征手段研究了InN薄膜的物理性质,结果表明:合适的生长温度可以抑制InN薄膜表面分凝现象。研究认为较低的生长温度使作为N源的NH3分解率较低,In—N的成键可能性小,导致In在表面聚集出现分凝;而较高生长温度时,InN薄膜中In—N键能较小,易发生断裂,反应活性较强的N和H原子逸离薄膜表面,In滞留在薄膜表面也导致In分凝现象的出现。相对于表面分凝的样品,未出现表面分凝的样品的薄膜晶体质量和表面形貌也得到了提高。同时,通过Raman散射谱研究了晶格振动E2声子模的应力效应。
