Crystallographic and magnetic properties of hydride R3Fe29-xTxHy (R=Y, Ce, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb and Dy; T=V and Cr)

The crystallographic and intrinsic magnetic properties of hydride R3Fe29-xTxHy (R=Y, Ce, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, and Dy; T=V and Cr) have been investigated. The lattice constants and the unit cell volume of R3Fe29-xTxHy decrease with increasing R atomic number from Nd to Dy, except for Ce, reflecting the lanthanide contraction. Regular anisotropic expansions, mainly along the a- and b-axis rather than along the c-axis, are observed for all the compounds upon hydrogenation. Hydrogenation leads to an increase in Curie temperature. First-order magnetization processes (FOMP) occur in magnetic fields of around 1.5 T and 4.0 T at 4.2 K for Nd3Fe24.5Cr4.5H5.0 and Tb(3)Fc(27.0)Cr(2.0)H(2.8), and around 1.4 T at room temperature for Gd3Fe28.0Cr1.0H4.2 Abnormal crystallographic and magnetic properties of Ce3Fe29-xTxHy suggest that the Ce ion is non-triply ionized.

Hydrogenation and anisotropic expansions in R3Fe29-xTx (R = Y, Ce, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb and Dy; T = V and Cr)

A systematic study of the phase formation, structure and magnetic properties of the R3Fe29-xTx compounds (R=Y, Ce, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, and Dy; T=V and Cr) has been performed upon hydrogenation. The lattice constants and the unit cell volume of R3Fe29-xTxHy decrease with increasing R atomic number from Nd to Dy, except for Ce, reflecting the lanthanide contraction. Regular anisotropic expansions mainly along the a- and b-axis rather than along the c-axis are observed for all of the compounds upon hydrogenation. Hydrogenation leads to an increase in the Curie temperature and a corresponding increase in the saturation magnetization at room temperature for each compound. First order magnetization processes (FOMP) occur in the external magnetic fields for Nd3Fe24.5Cr4.5H5.0, Tb3Fe27.0Cr2.0H2.8, and Gd3Fe28.0Cr1.0H4.2 compounds.

Thermomagnetic behavior and first order magnetization processes of Sm3Fe29-xTx and Sm3Fe29-xTxN4 (T = V and Cr)

A systematic investigation of structure and intrinsic magnetic properties of the compounds Sm3Fe29-xTx (T = V and Cr) and their nitrides has been performed. Nitrogenation resulted in remarkable improvements in the saturation magnetization and anisotropy fields at 4.2 K and room temperature. First order magnetization processes are observed at around 5.7 T for Sm3Fe26.7V2.3 and around 2.8 T for Sm3Fe24.0Cr5.0 and Sm3Fe24.0Cr5.0N4, respectively. The spin reorientation of the easy magnetization direction of Sm3Fe26.7V2.3 is observed at around 230 K. As a preliminary result, the maximum remanence B-r of 0.94 T, the coercivity mu(0)H(C) of 0.75 T, and the maximum energy product (BH) of 108.5 kJ/m(3) for the nitride magnet Sm3Fe26.7V2.3N4 are achieved by ball-milling at 293 K.

Compatibility relationship among reaction equilibria, equivalence principle of reaction approaches, and silicon contamination in semiconductors

This paper discovers some shortcomings in the algorithm for the incorporation of Si into GaAs in the GaAs VPE process. These faults arise from neglecting a link, the compatibility relationship, in chemical thermodynamics. The meaning of said relationship is as follows: In an equilibrium complex system, each species can only contribute one and the same quantity (its equilibrium quantity) to the different equilibria of the various reactions involving it; yet even under this restriction, every equilibrium constant is satisfied, and all the reaction equilibria coexist compatibly in the system. Only by adding the relationship can the equilibrium theory for the complex system be complete. This paper also tells its position in chemical thermodynamics. Such a compatibility concept directly leads to an equivalence principle: In a complex system, a certain species can usually be simultaneously formed by many chemical reactions; when the system has reached equilibrium under fixed environmental conditions, the equilibrium quantity of said species calculated according to each chemical equation of these reactions will be equal and the various reaction approaches will be equivalent, provided that for all the reactants and all the other products of these reactions their equilibrium quantities in the system are respectively taken as corresponding knowns for the calculations, which is extremely useful for seeking a functional relation among the species' equilibrium quantities in a system (Si contamination is one of the examples). Under the guidance of those arguments, the various schools' algorithms for the Si contamination can be uniformized and simplified, and the contamination quantity relation between Si and O, two very important impurities, is found.

Growth Parameter Dependence of Structural Characterizations of Diluted Magnetic Semiconductor (Ga, Cr)As

We report the influence of growth parameters and post-growth annealing on the structural characterizations and magnetic properties of (Ga, Cr)As films. The crystalline quality and magnetic properties are sensitive to the growth conditions. The single-phase (Ga, Cr)As film with the Curie temperature of 10 K is synthesized at growth temperature T-s = 250 degrees C and with nominal Cr content x = 0.016. However, for the films with x > 0.02, the aggregation of Cr atoms is strongly enhanced as both T. and x increase, which not only brings strong compressive strain in the epilayer, but also roughens the surface. The origin of room-temperature ferromagnetism in (Ga, Cr)As films with nanoclusters is also discussed.

Cr~(3+)对土壤脲酶活性特征的影响

采用模拟方法对Cr3+的土壤脲酶效应进行了研究,结果表明,土壤pH对Cr3+的生态毒性有重要影响;酸性土壤脲酶受到显著抑制,活性及动力学特征参数与Cr3+浓度间达显著或极显著负相关,而且模型U=β0(/β1×C+1)揭示其间机理为完全抑制,动力学则进一步细化为非竞争性抑制;获得土壤轻微和中度污染时的生态剂量ED10和ED50分别为50.59和865.7 mg.kg-1;酸性土壤中脲酶活性、Vmax、k可作为土壤Cr3+污染的监测指标之一,而碱性土壤则反应不敏感,其随铬浓度增加,脲酶活性及动力学参数呈先增加后降低的规律性变化,总体变幅较小;两类土壤的差别可能主要是由于土壤环境引起了不同价态铬转变的缘故。

Ti-V-Cr固溶体储氢合金的结构及电化学性能研究

本论文首先研究了Ni、Zr分别对Ti-V－Cr固溶体储氢合金中Cr和Ti部分取代的影响，得到了性能良好的Ti0．17Zr0．08V0．35Cr0．10Ni030基质合金。在此基础上进一步研究了入甄、B、Fe、Co、Al元素的添加或取代对基质合金的结构及电化学性能的影响。采用XRD、ICP、SEM一EDX、XPS、EIS、线性极化和阳极极化等表征手段对Ti一V－Cr固溶体储氢合金的结构及电化学性能进行分析和表征，主要结果如下：①Ti一V－Cr合金自身在碱性电解液中几乎无电化学活性。当用Ni部分取代Cr后，合金中出现具有电化学活性的第二相，其电化学性能得到有效地改善和提高。②Ti0.25-xZr_xV0.35Cr0.1Ni0.3（x＝0．05-0．15）合金主要是由bcc相和c14Laves相组成。随Zr含量从0．05增加到0．08，合金电极的放电容量和倍率放电能力增加；当x继续从0．08增加到0．15时，其变化较小。合金电极的电荷转移电阻随x增加而降低，当x在0．08到0．15之间变化时，电荷转移电阻变化也比较小。表明电荷转移电阻的大小与合金的电化学性能密切相关。③经过50次充、放电循环后，Tio．17zr"sV时scrol0Ni03。合金电极在303K和313K的放电容量能保持在90％以上；在70℃时的放电容量仍能达到275mA扮g。根据不同温度时的交换电流密度，计算了Ti。，17Zr008V时SCr川0Ni030合金电极表面电化学反应的表观活化能，其值约为50kJ／mol。④通过Nln、B、Fe、C。、AI对Tio．17zroosvo35Crol0Nio3。合金基质的添加与取代的研究，得到了具有高容量的储氢合金。其中Tio．17Zr008Vo35Cro．10Ni020Mnol。合金室温最高放电容量达到390n1A扮g；在253一343K的温度范围内，Tiol7Zr08V035Cr0JONioz5Mnoos合金具有高的放电容量，其容量在167一298mA树g之间变化，但是这些合金的稳定性有待进一步的提高。⑤合金充、放电过程中，晶格的扭曲和膨胀、Zr和V的溶解使得合金结构发生变化；合金的严重粉化及表面致密氧化膜的形成，是导致Ti一V－Cr合金电化学性能的衰减的主要原因。

Cr(III)盐在Pt电极和PbO_2电极上阳极氧化为络酸盐的机理的研究

关于Cr(III)阳极氧化为Cr(VI)的过程，在工业应用方面已有许多工作，但对机理尚不清楚。本文对Pt电极和PbO_2电极上的这一过程进行了动力学的研究，首次得到了Cr(VI)在这两种电极上阳极形成的真实动力学数据，并提出了与实验基本相符的反应机理。用“分解极化曲线法”和稳态极化曲线的测量，得到了[H_2SO_4]和[SO_4~=]恒定的不同浓度Cr_2(SO_4)_3溶液中Cr(VI)在光滑Pt电极上阳极形成的真实动力学数据，可用如下方程式来表达：在较低电位下φ = a + 0.25 log i_2 - 0.23 log [Cr(III)]在较高电位下φ = a' + 0.48 log i_2 - 0.44 log [Cr(III)]同时得到了氧的阳极发生的动力学数据，Tafel线性区的斜率接近于2.303 RT/ΔF (Δ ≈ 0.5)。动力学方程式的推导与实验的比较表明，在光滑Pt电极上Cr(VI)是由Cr(II)通过“活性氧”的氧化形成的，提出了如下反应机理：H_2O → (OH)_(ad) + H~+ + e~- 2(OH)_(ad) → (O)_(ad) + H_2O 2(O)_(ad) →O_2 (OH)_(ad) + [Cr(H_2O)_6]~(3+) → (CrO_2)_(ad) + 3H~+ + 5H_2O (CrO_2)_(ad) + H_2O → (CrO_3~-)_(ad) + 2H~+ + e~- (CrO_3~-)_(ad) + H_2O → HCrO_4~- + H~+ + e~- 2HCrO_4~- <-> Cr_2O_7~(2-) + H_2O 在[H_2SO_4]和[SO_4~(2-)]恒定的不同浓度Cr_2(SO_4)_3溶液中，测得了Cr(VI)在Δ-PbO_2电极上阳极形成的动力学数据：在较低电位下φ = a + 0.28 log i_2 - 0.30 log [Cr(III)]在较高电位下φ = a' + 0.55 log i_2 - 0.51 log [Cr(III)]氧的极化曲线的Tafel线性区斜率也为2.303RT/ΔF (Δ approx= 0.5)。PbO_2电极和Pt电极上分解极化曲线的比较表明，Cr(VI)在前一电极上阳极形成的过电位远低于在后一电极上，这可能是两电极上电流效率显著差别的原因。测得了PbO_2电极上不同过电位下电极反应的有效活化能，其数值均在10 Kcal mol~(-1)以上，且随着极化的增大而减小，据此在动力学处理中可以忽略扩散的作用，交流阻抗的研究进一步证实了这一点。溶液pH的增大或[H_2SO_4]的减小会降低Cr(VI)阳极形成的过电位，使反应加速。在[H_2SO_4]和[SO_4~(2-)]恒定的不同浓度Cr_2(SO_4)_3溶液中，测得了在不同电位极化下PbO_2电极的阻抗频谱。在较高电位下阻抗谱呈现明显的两个半圆，表明电极过程包括了中间吸附物的形成。求得的吸附电容Cad比双层电容Cd大1-2个数量级；Cd比通常光滑电极表面的Cd大得多，这可能与SO_4~(2-)，HCrO_4~-, Cr_2O_7~-以及[_((SO_4))~((H_2O)_2) Cr_((SO_4))~((OH)_2) Cr_((SO_4))~((OH_2)_2)]~(2-)等阳离子的特性吸附有关。从动力学的推导与实验的比较得出，在PbO_2电极上Cr(VI)也按“活性氧”机构形成，可能的机理如下：H_2O → (OH)_(ad) + H~+ + e~- (OH)_(ad) + H_2O → (O)_(ad) + H_3O~+ + e~- 2(O)_(ad) → O_2 [Cr(H_2O)_6]~(3+) + (O)_(ad) → (CrO_3~-)_(ad) + 4H~+ + 4H_2O (CrO_3~-)_(ad) + H_2O → HCrO_4~- + H~+ +e~- 2HCrO_4~- <-> Cr_2O_7~(2-) + H_2O.

Fe/Cr氧化还原电池的铬负极和Cr(III)氧化过程的研究

氧化还原液流电池是近十几年来发展起来的一种大容量的贮能电池，目前研究比较成熟功率，容量较大的是盐酸体系Fe/Cr氧化还原电池。但是对于该体系的铬负极，仍然存在着氢气的伴随发生和铬盐溶液的时效陈化问题，此外，作为隔膜的离子交换膜也不能满足电池的性能要求。本文用循环伏安法、恒电流法、紫外可见分光光度法、交流阻抗法研究了铬负极的性质和溶液的时效陈化问题；探讨了三价铬离子的电化学还原过程；组装了试验型氯化铵体系的Fe/Cr氧化还原液流电池，测试了电池的性能；为降低隔膜的离子选择性的要求，对Cr(III)/Cr(VI)电对的氧化还原反应进行了探讨。讨论了三价铬离子在银离子存在下氧化成铬酸盐的反应机理。用循环伏安法研究了金、银、铜、石墨等电极材料对Cr(III)/Cr(rIII)电对氧化还原可逆性和析氢速度的影响。金电极能催化Cr(III)/Cr(II)电对的氧化还原反应，在溶液中含有Pb~(2+)离子时，具有较高的氢过电位。银、铜电极在电位扫描过程中不断地进行溶解和沉积，电极性能不稳定，而石墨电极上Cr(III)/Cr(II)电对的可连性较差。因此选择金作工作电极。研究了电解液中加入Pb、In、Tl的作用，结果表明，同时添加Pb-In、Pb-Tl比添加Pb、Tl等单一添加剂更能有效地提高氢过电位。电子探针分析表明，Pb、In、Tl在金基底上是均匀分布的。文献上尚未见到在这一电池体系中应用上述复合添加物的报导。在盐酸溶液中，存在着如下平衡：[Cr(H_2O)_4Cl_2] Cl·2H_2O <-> [Cr(H_2O)_5Cl]Cl_2·H_2O<->[Cr(H_2O)_6]Cl_3利用各级络合物的稳定常数计算了不同浓度的Cr(III)离子溶液中，上述三种络合物的浓度。以循环伏安曲线上Cr(III)的还原峰值电流i_p对Cr(H_2O)_4Cl_2~+和Cr(H_2O)_5Cl~+的浓度和作图，得到通过原点的直线。恒电流法研究发现，电位－时间曲线相继在-550mv·vs·scE和-660mv·vs·scE出现二个电位平阶，其电量比与Cr(H_2O)_4Cl_2~+、Cr(H_2O)_5Cl~2+的浓度比相当。据此认为参加电化学反应的活性离子是Cr(H_2O)_5Cl~(2+)和Cr(H_2O)_4Cl_2~+。利用循环伏安法比较了盐酸、氯化铵、醋酸、醋酸铵作电解液时Cr~(3+)离子的反应活性。盐酸体系中氢气的伴发生极为严重。醋酸、醋酸铵体系析氢电流较小、Cr~(3+)离子的反应活性也不高。相对来说，氯化铵体系对Cr(III)/Cr(II)电对的氧化还原反应有较高的活性，而且氢的析出电流也较小。紫外可见分光光度法对盐酸。氯化铵作电解液时铬络离子稳定性的研究表明，在溶液久置过程中，铬络离子在氯化铵体系中比在盐酸体系中稳定。循环伏安法的研究也符合这一结论。由于氯化铵体系的优点，组装了以氯化铵为电解液的铁铬单体电池。当充、放电电流密度为20mA/cm~2时，库仑效率达99％，瓦时效率在60％以上，电池的开路电压可达1.18V。与以盐酸为电解液的电池相比，具有电池开路电压高、放氢量小库仑效率高等优点。由于溶液的酸度低，也延缓了溶液对电池壳体及其附件的腐蚀。看来，它是一种很有希望的电解液体系。为了降低电池对离子交换膜的离子选择性要求，一种有效的方法是采用全铬电池体系，即正负极活性物质分别为Cr(III)/Cr(VI)和Cr(III)/Cr(II)。本文在Pt、石墨、钛电极上在硫酸溶液中对Cr(III)/Cr(VI)电对的氧化还原过程进行了探讨。循环伏安法表明，Cr(III)的氧化与氧的发生同时进行，加入Pb~(2+), Co~(2+)离子使Cr(III)离子的氧化电位负移。加入Ag~+时，在循环伏安曲线上出现Cr(III)离子的氧化峄。表明Ag~+对Cr(III)的氧化过程有较好的催化作用。在Cr(III)离子浓度0.1m时，峰值电位φ_P与扫描速度的对数logV呈线性关系，2ψ_p/2logv=100mv；峰值电流i_p与扫描速度v成正比。浓度在0.07M以下时，峰电位与扫描速度无关，峰电流与扫描速度平方根成正比，表现为扩散控制的过程。银离子存在下，Pt电极上Cr(III)离子的氧化过程的交流阻抗谱图呈现二个半圆，可以认为电极过程包括中间吸附物的生成。
