Homogeneous Epitaxial Growth of N,N '-di(n-butyl)quinacridone Thin Films on Ag(110)

The structural evolution of the ordered N-N' dibutyl-substituted quinacridone (QA4C) multilayers (3 MLs) has been monitored in situ and in real time at various substrate temperatures using low energy electron diffraction (LEED) during organic molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Experimental results of LEED patterns clearly reveal that the structure of the multilayer strongly depends on the substrate temperature. Multilayer growth can be achieved at the substrate temperatures below 300 K, while at the higher temperatures we can only get one ordered monolayer of QA4C. Two kinds of structures, the commensurate and incommensurate one, often coexist in the QA4C multilayer. With a method of the two-step substrate temperatures, the incommensurate one can be suppressed, and the commensurate, on the other hand, more similar to the (001) plane of the QA4C bulk crystal, prevails with the layer of QA4C increasing to 3 MLs. The two structures in the multilayers are compressed slightly in comparison to the original ones in the first monolayer.

Coadsorption of nitric oxide and oxygen on the Ag(110) surface

The coadsorption of NO and O-2 on Ag(110) surface has been studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) and in situ Raman spectroscopy. The existence of oxygen enhances the adsorption of NO by forming the NOx species, that is, NO2 and NO3, and the NO in turn as a promotor facilitates the cleavage of the dioxygen bond, forming the surface atomic oxygen species having the same spectral characteristics as those produced using oxygen at high pressure. The oxygen species generated by the interaction is composed of two parts. One is produced directly by the decomposition of surface NO-O-2 complex at ca 625 K, which raised an O 1s feature at 530.5 eV and is absent at ca 800 K, while the another with an O 1s binding energy of 529.2 eV emerges at higher temperatures and shows similar properties as the reported gamma-state oxygen which bound tightly on restructured silver surface. The exposure to NO and O-2 causes noticeable changes in the morphology of the Ag(110) surface and the flat terraces superseded by small (ca 0.1 mu m) pits, and particles with typical diameters of a few micrometres were formed at elevated temperatures.

On the propagation rate of the chemical waves observed during the course of CO oxidation on a Ag/Pt(110) composite surface

We have analyzed the propagation rate of the chemical waves observed during the course of CO oxidation on a Ag/Pt(I 10) composite surface that were reported in our previous papers [Surf Interface Anal. 2001, 32, 179; J. Phys. Chem. B 2002, 106, 5645]. In all cases, the propagation rate v can be adequately fitted as v = v(0) + D-0/d, in which v(0) and D-0 are constants, and d is the distance between the reaction front of the chemical wave and the boundary from which the chemical wave originates. We propose that the surface species responsible for the formation of the chemical wave comes from two paths: the adsorption of molecules in the gas phase on the surface and the migration from the adjacent surface with different catalytic activity. v(0) corresponds to the contribution from the surface species due to the adsorption, and D-0/d to that of the surface species that migrates from the adjacent surface. The rate equation clearly suggests that the observed chemical wave results from the coupling between adjacent surfaces with different catalytic activities during the course of heterogeneous catalysis. These results, together with our previous reports, provide a good fundamental understanding of spillover, an important phenomenon in heterogeneous catalysis.

Cu原子簇触发形核下的深过冷Ag-Ge合金组织演变研究

采用玻璃包覆的方法获得具有较大过冷度的亚共晶、共晶以及过共晶Ag-Ge合金熔体,并通过高能离子束轰击Cu箔产生Cu原子团簇溅射到过冷合金熔体中来触发非均质形核过程.凝固后合金显微组织的分析结果表明:在深过冷合金熔体中引入Cu原子团簇,它对亚共晶、共晶以及过共晶Ag-Ge合金的显微组织演变有着不同的影响效果,分析了显微组织的演变规律与形成机制. The Ag-Ge alloy melts with deeply undercooled hypoeutectic, eutectic and hypereutectic were obtained via glass fluxing technique. The nucleation of the deeply undercooled alloy melts were triggered by atoms cluster sputtering on the surface of the melts. The atoms clusters were generated by an ion beam bombarding on the Cu foil fixed above the alloy melts. The resultant microstructure reveals that the induced atom clusters exert great influence on the microstructural evolution of the highly undercooled eutectic and hypereutectic Ag-Ge alloys, but no obvious influence on the highly undercooled hypoeutectic alloy. The microstructural evolution and formation mechanism were analyzed and discussed.

Quantum Monte Carlo study of the CO interaction with a dimer model surface for Cr(110)

The chemisorption of CO on a Cr( 110) surface is investigated using the quantum Monte Carlo method in the diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) variant and a model Cr2CO cluster. The present results are consistent with the earlier ab initio HF study with this model that showed the tilted/ near-parallel orientation as energetically favoured over the perpendicular arrangement. The DMC energy difference between the two orientations is larger (1.9 eV) than that computed in the previous study. The distribution and reorganization of electrons during CO adsorption on the model surface are analysed using the topological electron localization function method that yields electron populations, charge transfer and clear insight on the chemical bonding that occurs with CO adsorption and dissociation on the model surface.

碱金属在[110]单轴应力下的理论强度

<正> 我们知道,晶须的强度远远大于大晶体的强度,很可能接近于理想晶体的理论强度.而晶须的轴线则通常平行于晶体的三个主要方向[100],[110]或[111]。因此当计算理想晶体在单轴应力下的理论强度时,也必须考虑不同的应力方向.七十年代,Milstein等人利用Morse势和Born稳定性判据计算了立方晶体分别在[100],[110]和[111]单轴应力下的理论强度.由于有心力近似受到Cauchy关系的限制,我们在文献

52m长落管Ag-Ge合金的微重力凝固行为

利用52m长落管装置进行了Ag-15%Ge(质量分数)亚共晶和Ag-21%Ge(质量分数)过共晶合金微重力试验,分析了凝固后合金球体的显微组织,并和常规凝固条件下的同成分合金组织进行了比较.结果表明,落管实验能使合金获得较大的过冷度,使Ag-15%Ge(质量分数)亚共晶合金Ag初生固溶体相明显细化,枝晶特征消失并转变为细小不规则块状或近似球形;使Ag-21%Ge(质量分数)过共晶合金中Ge初生相组织细化、数量增多,但并不改变小平面晶体Ge相的侧面生长机制.

基于跨尺度模型的界面研究

探索和建立不同尺度理论之间的关联模式是科学研究的重要课题，本文基于跨尺度模型着重探讨了金属陶瓷界面的凝聚能和原子结构问题。本文遵循原始Peierls-Nabarro模型的基本思想，提出了一种处理一维界面失配位错组的新方法。在这个推广的Peierls-Nabarro模型中，本文得到了一个简单而且准确的解析解，此解反映了失配位错的核结构、能量与失配度、剪切模量之间的依赖关系。当界面剪切模量较强而失配度较小时，界面的结构可以用一组奇导师Volterra位错来描述，这与一些原子模拟结果一致。采用这一简单的模型，引入第一原理计算得到的数据，此模型可以估算金属陶瓷界面的凝聚能。一维界面失配位错组的Peierls-Nabarro模型还被解析推广描述一大类较宽的位错。在模型中我们引进了一个参数a，通过控制参数a，我们可以系统地改变失配位错芯的宽度、剪切应力的分布和弹性恢复力。随着a增加，位错宽度增加，同时弹性恢复力和失配位错应力的幅度减少。当界面剪切模量强和失配度小时，失配位错的宽度近似线性反比于弹性恢复力的幅度大小。同时当界面剪切模量和失配度固定时，失配能、弹性能和总的界面能随a的增加而减少。界面能和恢复力律形式密切相关，当界面剪切模量弱和失配度大时，这种依赖关系更强。考虑到界面常常是在晶格两个方向都有失配，本文还引进了描述界面周期失配位错的二维广义Peierls-Nabarro模型，使得我们能够定量地研究界面的结构和能量。文中定量分析了广义堆垛能γ面对界面失配位错的结构和能量的影响，分析了位错网中两种位错组的相互作用。当界面剪切模量τ_0变大和失配度f变小时，随着位错核区占整个界面的比重下降，γ面的形状对界面能量和结构影响减弱，结果两种位错组之间的相互作用也减弱。此外γ面的变化还有可能导致位错网结构的转变，也就是导致界面结构的转变。应用此模型，本文还研究了金属－陶瓷Ag/MgO(100)界面，给出了界面的能量和原子结构。文中得出结论：在Ag/MgO(100)界面将会形成{1/2<110>; <110>}类型的位错网。此外由于界面失配位错的形成，Ag/MgO(100)界面凝聚能的理论值900mJ/m~2将减少214mJ/m~2，最终成为686mJ/m~2。基于第一原理赝势平面波的总能计算，文中给出了金属陶瓷Al/MgO(100)界面弛豫和未弛豫时的广义堆垛能面。然后结合第三章发展的广义二维Peierls-Nabarro模型，详细研究了金属陶瓷Al/MgO(100)界面的原子结构和界面能。文中得出的“在Al/MgO(100)界面将会形成{1/2<110>; <110>}类型位错网”的推论，证实了Vellinga等的猜测；文中还预测了凝聚能的理论是在600mJ/m~2（未弛豫情形）和670mJ/m~2（弛豫情形）之间。这个应用表明此方法能够容易地建立连续介质理论和第一原理计算之间的联系，实现理论上的跨尺度。本文最后提出了一种得到界面原子有效对势的反演方法。通过反演金属－MgO陶瓷界面的第一原理计算的凝聚能曲线，我们得到了一些金属原子和陶瓷离子之间的对势，此对势反映了金属陶瓷键合的特性。本文的反演方法提供了通过第一原理计算数据来拟合界面原子对势的一种可行性途径。这种方法可归结为第一类尺度关联理论，即单向的跨尺度关联模式。

Photoluminescence of Ag nanoparticle embedded Tb3+/Ce3+ codoped NaYF4/PVP nanofibers prepared by electrospinning

Ag nanoparticle embedded NaYF4:0.05Tb center dot chi Ce/ PVP (PVP stands for poly(vinyl pyrrolidone)) composite nanofibers have been prepared by electrospinning. A field emission scanning electron microscope and x-ray diffraction have been utilized to characterize the size, morphology and structure of the as-prepared electrospun nanofibers. Obvious photoluminescence (PL) of NaYF4:0.05Tb center dot 0.05Ce/PVP electrospun nanofibers due to the efficient energy transfer from Ce3+ to Tb3+ ions is observed. The PL intensity of the electrospun nanofibers decreases gradually with the addition of Ag nanoparticles. No obvious surface plasmon resonance enhanced luminescence is observed. The reasons for the weakening of the emission intensity with the addition of Ag nanoparticles have also been discussed in this work.

Fluorescent Ag nanoclusters in glass induced by an infrared femtosecond laser

We report a method for the selective introduction of fluorescent Ag nanoclusters in glass. Extinction and photoluminescence spectra show that a fraction of the Ag atoms are generated through femtosecond laser induced multiphoton reduction and then aggregate to form Ag nanoclusters after heat treatment. Red luminescence from the irradiated region is observed under blue or green laser excitation. The fluorescence can be attributed to interband transitions within Ag nanoclusters. This method provides a novel route to fabricate fluorescent nanomaterials in 3D transparent materials. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
