新型二维拉胀材料SiGeS的理论预测及其光电性质

二维材料由于其在力学、电学以及光学等领域的潜在应用而受到广泛关注.基于第一性原理计算,通过有序地排列SiH3SGeH3的Si-S-Ge骨架,设计了一种全新的二维材料SiGeS.单层SiGeS具有良好的能量、动力学以及热力学稳定性. SiGeS具有非常罕见的负泊松比.此外,单层SiGeS是间接带隙半导体,其带隙值为1.95 eV.在应变的作用下, SiGeS可转变为带隙范围为1.32—1.58 eV的直接带隙半导体,可被应用在光学或半导体领域.同时,本征SiGeS拥有优异光吸收能力,其最高光吸收系数可达约10~5 cm^–1,吸收范围主要在可见光到紫外波段.在应变下,光吸收范围可覆盖到整个红外波段.这些有趣的性质使得SiGeS成为一种多功能材料,有望被用于纳米电子、纳米力学以及纳米光学等领域.     

Synthesis and Properties of Magnetic Composites of Carbon Nanotubes/Fe Nanoparticle

Magnetic composites of carbon nanotubes （CNTs） are synthesized by the in situ catalytic decomposition of benzene at temperatures as low as 400℃ over Fe nanoparticles （mean grain size = 26 nm） produced by sol-gel fabrication and hydrogen reduction. The yield of CNT composite is up to about 3025% in a run of 6 h. FE- SEM and HRTEM investigations reveal that one-dimensional carbon species are produced in a large quantity. A relatively high value of magnetization is observed for the composite due to the encapsulation of ferromagnetic Fe3 C and/or α-Fe. The method is suitable for the mass-production of CNT composites that contain magnetic nanoparticles.
