Near‐forward/high‐pressure‐backward Raman study of Zn1 − xBexSe (x ~ 0.5) – evidence for percolation behavior of the long (Zn―Se) bond

The apparently universal 1‐bond → 2‐mode percolation behavior in the Raman spectra of zincblende semiconductor alloys is generally observed for the short bond only, and not for the long one. In this work we perform a combined high‐pressure‐backward/near‐forward Raman study of the leading percolation‐type (Zn,Be)Se alloy (~50 at.% Be), which exhibits a distinct percolation doublet in the spectral range of its short Be―Se bond, in search of a Zn―Se analogue. The high‐pressure‐backward insight is not conclusive per se, but clarifies the perspective behind the near‐forward Raman study. The latter reveals an unique Zn―Se phonon–polariton. Its fair contour modeling depending on the scattering angle is achieved within the linear dielectric approach, based on ellipsometry measurement of the ZnBeSe refractive index. Somewhat surprisingly this reveals that the phonon–polariton in question is a ‘fractional’ one in that it carries only half of the available Zn―Se oscillator strength, as ideally expected in case of a BeSe‐like bimodal Raman behavior of the long Zn―Se bond.

Structural study of a manganese(II) `picket‐fence' porphyrin complex

`Picket‐fence' porphyrin compounds are used in the investigation of interactions of hemes with dioxygen, carbon monoxide, nitric monoxide and imidazole ligands. (Cryptand‐222)potassium chlorido[meso‐tetra(α,α,α,α‐o‐pivalamidophenyl)porphyrinato]manganese tetrahydrofuran monosolvate (cryptand‐222 is 4,7,13,16,21,24‐hexaoxa‐1,10‐diazabicyclo[8.8.8]hexacosane), [K(C₁₈H₃₆N₂O₆)][Mn(C₆₄H₆₄N₈O₄)Cl]·C₄H₈O or [K(222)][Mn(TpivPP)Cl]·THF [systematic name for TpivPP: 5,10,15,20‐tetrakis(2‐tert‐butanamidophenyl)porphyrin], is a five‐coordinate high‐spin manganese(II) picket‐fence porphyrin complex. It crystallizes with a potassium cation chelated inside a cryptand‐222 molecule; the average K—O and K—N distances are 2.83 (4) and 2.995 (13) Å, respectively. All four protecting tert‐butyl pickets of the porphyrin are ordered. The porphyrin plane is nearly planar, as indicated by the atomic displacements and the dihedral angles between the mean planes of the pyrrole rings and the 24‐atom mean plane. The axial chloride ligand is located inside the molecular cavity on the hindered porphyrin side and the Mn—Cl bond is tilted slightly off the normal to the porphyrin plane by 3.68 (2)°. The out‐of‐plane displacement of the metal centre relative to the 24‐atom mean plane (Δ₂₄) is 0.7013 (4) Å, indicating a noticeable porphyrin core doming.     

Metal‐Chelating N,N′‐Bis(4‐dimethylaminophenyl)acetamidinyl Radical: A New Chromophore for the Near‐Infrared Region

A new non‐innocent ligand redox system, N,N′‐bis(4‐dimethylaminophenyl) substituted acetamidinato/acetamidinyl, has been designed and described by example of structurally and spectroscopically characterized ruthenium complexes. The hitherto unreported ligand is responsible for rather intense and narrow absorptions in the near‐infrared region of the one‐ and two‐electron oxidized forms. The spectroscopic, computational, and first structural characterization of an amidinyl radical complex adds to the list of established N‐based radical ligands.

Beyond Donor–Acceptor (D–A) Approach: Structure–Optoelectronic Properties—Organic Photovoltaic Performance Correlation in New D–A1–D–A2 Low‐Bandgap Conjugated Polymers

Low‐bandgap near‐infrared polymers are usually synthesized using the common donor–acceptor (D–A) approach. However, recently polymer chemists are introducing more complex chemical concepts for better fine tuning of their optoelectronic properties. Usually these studies are limited to one or two polymer examples in each case study so far, though. In this study, the dependence of optoelectronic and macroscopic (device performance) properties in a series of six new D–A₁–D–A₂ low bandgap semiconducting polymers is reported for the first time. Correlation between the chemical structure of single‐component polymer films and their optoelectronic properties has been achieved in terms of absorption maxima, optical bandgap, ionization potential, and electron affinity. Preliminary organic photovoltaic results based on blends of the D–A₁–D–A₂ polymers as the electron donor mixed with the fullerene derivative [6,6]‐phenyl‐C₇₁‐butyric acid methyl ester demonstrate power conversion efficiencies close to 4% with short‐circuit current densities (J _sc) of around 11 mA cm⁻², high fill factors up to 0.70, and high open‐circuit voltages (V _ocs) of 0.70 V. All the devices are fabricated in an inverted architecture with the photoactive layer processed in air with doctor blade technique, showing the compatibility with roll‐to‐roll large‐scale manufacturing processes.

Dynamics of turbulent air-flow in droplet driven sprays

This paper presents a study of the fundamental mechanics of droplet and gas motion in sprays. Only vertical sprays are considered and our theoretical analysis identifies two main flow zones, corresponding to where the droplet velocity is much greater than or of the same order as the induced air velocity. Analytical asymptotic results for the induced air velocity for small and large downstream distances confirmed a full numerical calculation and also agreed with experimental results. The second half of the paper deals with some of the most important aspects of spray jets in a cross flow. We find that the ratio of the cross-wind speed to the induced air jet speedU ₀/V _j is a crucial factor for specifying the dynamical behaviour. We present results for an axi-symmetric spray in uniform cross flow for bothweak andstrong cross-winds.

掺杂的Bi4Ge3O12晶体的近红外发光性能

生长了Mg、Ca离子掺杂(提拉法)和Cl离子掺杂(坩埚下降法)的Bi₄Ge₃O₁₂(BGO)晶体,测试了晶体样品的吸收谱、光致发光谱和发光衰减时间等。这些掺杂的BGO晶体的可见光发光比纯BGO有所减弱,但在808 nm和980 nm激光二极管(LD)激发下出现了纯BGO几乎没有的近红外发光,归因于改变了能级的Bi离子或可能出现的低价态Bi离子。掺杂对近红外发光的影响跟掺杂离子价态有关,同价态的掺杂离子对近红外发光的影响相差不大。
