Diffusion of As ions and self-diffusion in silicon during implantation

Experimental concentration profiles of As ions in a silicon substrate at temperatures of 20, 600, and 1050°C and ion current of 40 μA/cm², as well as at 1050°C and 10 μA/cm², are presented. On the basis of our and previously published experimental data, the process of radiation-stimulated ionic diffusion and self-diffusion in silicon is simulated. A number of interesting dependences, which are discussed in the conclusion of this study, are obtained.

Cinnamal Sensing and Luminescence Color Tuning in a Series of Rare-Earth Metal−Organic Frameworks with Trans-1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate

Three isostructural metal–organic frameworks ([Ln₂(phen)₂(NO₃)₂(chdc)₂]·2DMF (Ln³⁺ = Y³⁺ for 1, Eu³⁺ for 2 or Tb³⁺ for 3; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline; H₂chdc = trans-1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid) were synthesized and characterized. The compounds are based on a binuclear block {M₂(phen)₂(NO₃)₂(OOCR)₄} assembled into a two-dime nsional square-grid network containing tetragonal channels with 26% total solvent-accessible volume. Yttrium (1)-, europium (2)- and terbium (3)-based structures emit in the blue, red and green regions, respectively, representing the basic colors of the standard RGB matrix. A doping of Eu³⁺ and/or Tb³⁺ centers into the Y³⁺-based phase led to mixed-metal compositions with tunable emission color and high quantum yields (QY) up to 84%. The bright luminescence of a suspension of microcrystalline 3 in DMF (QY = 78%) is effectively quenched by diluted cinnamaldehyde (cinnamal) solutions at millimolar concentrations, suggesting a convenient and analytically viable sensing method for this important chemical.

Highly Luminescent Crystalline Sponge: Sensing Properties and Direct X-ray Visualization of the Substrates

A phenomenon of crystalline sponge is represented by guest-dependent structural fluidity of the host polymeric lattice in highly crystalline sorbents, such as metal-organic frameworks, driven by multiple weak intermolecular interactions. Such induced fitting in MOFs is a valuable property in selective adsorption, guest determination by single-crystal XRD and in-situ structural analysis under external stimuli. In this work, a porous three-dimensional metal-organic framework [Eu₂(DMF)₄(ttdc)₃]·4.45DMF (1_DMF; DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide, ttdc^2– = trans-thienothiophenedicarboxylate anion) was applied as a crystalline sponge bearing luminescent functionality to couple its sensing properties with direct structural determination of the adsorbed molecules. As a result, the paper discusses crystal structures and luminescent properties for the successfully obtained new adducts with the crystallographic formulae [Eu₂(DMSO)₄(ttdc)₃]·2.5DMSO·2.2H₂O (1_DMSO; DMSO = dimethylsulfoxide), [Eu₂(DMF)₄(ttdc)₃]·3phet (1_phet; phet = phenylethanal) and [Eu₂(DMF)_3.5(cin)_0.5(ttdc)₃]·1.64cin (1_cin; cin = trans-cinnamaldehyde). As a result of inclusion of DMSO into 1, a slight increase in the quantum yield and excited state phosphorescence lifetime was observed, while the adsorption of phet leads to a considerable (up to three times) decrease in the corresponding values. The incorporation of cinnamal results in a full quenching of QY, from 20% down to zero, and a more than order of magnitude diminishing of the excited state lifetime compared to the initial 1_DMF. The effective sensing of cinnamal was explained from the structural point of view by its direct coordination to the Eu³⁺ emitter, as well as by multiple weak intermolecular interactions with ttdc antenna ligand, both capable of enhancing the non-radiative energy dissipation.
