Epitaxial Growth of Monolayer MoS <sub/>2</sub> on SrTiO <sub/>3</sub> Single Crystal Substrates for Applications in Nanoelectronics
摘要： Monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) crystals grown on amorphous substrates such as SiO2 are randomly oriented. However, when MoS2 is grown on crystalline substrates, the crystal shapes and orientations are also influenced by their epitaxial interaction with the substrate. In this paper we present the results from chemical vapor deposition growth of MoS2 on three different terminations of single crystal strontium titanate (SrTiO3) substrates. On SrTiO3(111) the monolayer MoS2 crystals form equilateral triangles with two main orientations, in which they align their <21?1?0>-type directions (i.e., the sulfur-terminated edge directions) with the <11?0>-type directions on SrTiO3. This arrangement allows near perfect coincidence epitaxy between seven MoS2 unit cells and four SrTiO3 unit cells. On SrTiO3(110) the MoS2 crystals tend to align their edges with both <11?0> and <11?2?> directions on SrTiO3 as these both provide favorable coincidence lattice registry. This distorts the crystal shapes and introduces an additional strain detectable by photoluminescence. When triangular MoS2 crystals are grown on SrTiO3(001), they again show a preference to align their edges with the <11?0> directions on SrTiO3. Our observations can be explained if the interfacial van der Waals (vdW) bonding between MoS2 monolayers and SrTiO3 is greatest when the maximum commensuration between the lattices is achieved. Therefore, a key finding of this paper is that the vdW interaction between MoS2 and SrTiO3 substrates determines the supported crystal shapes and orientations by the epitaxial relations. Controlled crystal orientations make the growth of large sheets of MoS2 possible when there are multiple nucleation sites. This minimizes the number of grain boundaries and optimizes electronic properties of the material, e.g., charge mobility, which is crucial for the application of monolayer MoS2 in next-generation nanoelectronic devices.

Oxygen-vacancy-related Giant permittivity and Ethanol sensing response in SrTiO3- ceramics
摘要： The ethanol sensing properties of SrTiO3-δ (δ=0.075 and 0.125) ceramics was analyzed by dielectric measurements. The ceramics were prepared by solid state reaction method followed by the creation of oxygen vacancies-δ, through a thermal activated process. The crystal symmetry, space group and unit cell dimensions were derived from the X-ray diffraction (XRD) data using FullProf software whereas grain’s size distribution was assessed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The prepared samples have been analyzed by impedance spectroscopy over the frequency range from 100 Hz to 1 MHz and temperature range from 240 to 340 K. The dielectric properties of SrTiO3-δ ceramics showed a quite remarkable stability of giant permittivity (> 104) as well as a low dielectric loss, which open ways for several applications such as over voltage protections of electronic devices. A low-frequency dielectric relaxation behavior was found, and the carriers for electrical conduction result from the first-ionization of oxygen vacancies. The conductivity and gas sensitivity of SrTiO3-δ-based sensors were investigated. Results demonstrated that the conductivity decreases after the introduction of the ethanol gas, and p-type semiconductor gas-sensing materials were obtained. Both characteristics present higher responses at lower optimal operating temperatures.

Efficient Visible-Light-Induced Photocatalytic Activity of SrTiO <sub/>3</sub> Co-Doped With Os and N: A GGA?+? <i>U</i> Investigation
摘要： A systematic investigation based on spin-polarized DFT + U has been carried out to study the electronic structure of charge compensated (Os, 2N)-codoped SrTiO3 as compared with that of pure SrTiO3, Os-doped SrTiO3, N-doped SrTiO3, and charge non-compensated (Os, N)-codoped SrTiO3. The calculated band gap of pure SrTiO3 is improved to 3.22 eV using GGA + U method by choosing appropriate U values, which is in good agreement with the experimental value (3.25 eV). Although charge non-compensated co-doping with (Os, N) significantly reduces the photoabsorption energy by introducing localized in-gap impurity states of Os-5d, N-2p, and O-2p, unfortunately, the presence of these states may hinder charge carrier mobility. The calculated results show that the charge compensated co-doping with one Os and two N leads to the complete passivation of the mid gap Os-5d and O-2p impurity states, thus the positions of the band edges are extended to satisfy the criteria for overall water splitting under visible-light. The present predictions demonstrate that the charge compensated (Os, 2N)-codoped SrTiO3 can be a desirable effective photocatalyst for highly active visible-light-induced hydrogen production from water splitting due to the enhanced visible-light activity as well as decreased electron–hole recombination rate.

Interfacial coupling effects in g-C3N4/SrTiO3 nanocomposites with enhanced H2 evolution under visible light irradiation
摘要： The g-C3N4/SrTiO3 nanocomposite is an important material in photocatalysis, but little attention has been paid to their interfacial interaction in photocatalytic reaction. Herein, we prepare the g-C3N4/SrTiO3 nanocomposites via a two-step mechanically milling and calcination process. The composite exhibited the highest H2 evolution activity superior to that of the pure g-C3N4 and SrTiO3 in the visible light. The results of UV-vis DRS, PL and photoelectrochemical measurements demonstrated that g-C3N4/SrTiO3 exhibited more visible light adsorption and faster photo-generated charge transfer. Furthermore, with the help of a strong built-in electric field presenting in the g-C3N4/SrTiO3 interface, the photo-generated electrons flow to the SrTiO3 from g-C3N4, leading to the highly-efficient electron separation and more H2O molecules photo-reduction to H2. This work explicates the significant role of built-in electric field in H2 evolution on g-C3N4/SrTiO3 photocatalyst.

Evaluation of the relationship between the magnetism and the optical properties in SrTiO3-δ defective systems: Experimental and theoretical studies
摘要： To explore the relationship between optical properties, oxygen vacancies and magnetism in SrTiO3, we prepared a series of SrTiO3-δ (δ=0.00, 0.125 and 0.250) samples by solid state reaction method followed by the creation of oxygen vacancies-δ. Surface composition and chemical valence state in the synthesized compounds were examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) spectra showed that the transmission properties change with oxygen vacancies introduction. Ultraviolet-visible absorption revealed that optical properties were highly dependent on oxygen vacancies concentrations. When the magnetic field was applied, magnetization showed weak-ferromagnetism at room temperature on SrTiO3-δ non-sto?chiometric systems. Yet, it was reversed showing diamagnetism on SrTiO3 perfect crystal. The large concentration of oxygen vacancies (δ=0.250) reduced ferromagnetism and optical absorption, implying the possible presence of a relationship between the magnetism and the optical properties. Theoretical results showed two types of electronic contributions to magnetism, one of which emanates from localized states below the conduction band minimum, and the other comes from itinerant electrons of Ti atoms lying further away from the oxygen-vacancy. The electronic structures and magnetic properties were calculated by Full-Potential Linear Augmented Plane Wave (FP-LAPW) method within the Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) and the atomic relaxations introduced by the oxygen vacancies host in a fully self-consistent way. The results shed some light on the promising magneto-optical properties of the SrTiO3-δ materials.

A nanoreactor based on SrTiO3 coupled TiO2 nanotubes confined Au nanoparticles for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution
摘要： A TiO2 nanotube-based nanoreactor was designed and fabricated by facile two steps synthesis: firstly, hydrothermal synthesized SrTiO3 was deposited on TiO2 nanotubes (TiO2NTs). Secondly, the Au nanoparticles (NPs) were encapsulated inside the TiO2NTs followed by vacuum-assisted impregnation. The as-synthesized composites were characterized using Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Photoluminescence spectra (PL) and Ultravioletevisible absorption spectroscopy (UVevis). The photocatalytic performance was evaluated by the hydrogen evolution reaction. The results revealed that the SrTiO3 modified TiO2NTs confined Au NPs (STO-TiO2NTs@Au) achieved an enhanced hydrogen evolution rate at 7200 mmol h?1 g?1, which was 2.2 times higher than that of bald TiO2NTs@Au at 3300 mmol h?1 g?1. The improved photocatalytic activity could be attributed to the synergistic effect of the electron-donating of SrTiO3 and TiO2NTs confinement. The as-designed nanoreactor structure provides an example of efficient carriers’ separation photocatalyst.

Magnetization reversal in NiFe <sub/>2</sub> O4/SrTiO <sub/>3</sub> nanoheterostructures grown by laser molecular beam epitaxy
摘要： NiFe2O4/SrTiO3(001) nanoheterostructures have been fabricated by laser molecular beam epitaxy method. Surface morphology and crystal structure of Ni-ferrite films were analysed by atomic force microscopy (AFM), reflection of high energy electron diffraction (RHEED), X-ray diffraction (XRD). X-ray methods prove the presence of inverse spinel crystal structure of films that was confirmed by measurements of spectral dependence of optical polar Kerr (PMOKE) effect. Study of magnetization reversal for different orientations of magnetic field carried out by vibration sample magnetometry (VSM) and longitudinal magneto-optical Kerr effect (LMOKE) are presented. In-plane magnetization loops exhibit 90 period indicating presence of biaxial magnetic anisotropy. Asymmetry of LMOKE hysteresis loops is related to manifestation of quadratic in magnetization effects in reflection of light.

Effects of end-on oriented polymer chains at the donor/acceptor interface in organic solar cells
摘要： The transport and magnetic properties of LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (LAO/STO) heterostructure have been studied during cooling and warming. The strain gradient perpendicular to the surface of the heterostructure increases with the thickness of LAO film. The conductivity accelerated recoveries (CAR) are found at 80 K and 176 K in the interface of LAO/STO sample with millimeter scale, and are more obvious for thicker LAO layers during warming. These two recovering temperatures correspond to the migrating energies of oxygen single vacancy and divacancy trapped by polarized domain walls, separately. This indicated that domain walls diffuse along the longitudinal direction and expand to larger area due the strain gradient perpendicular to the interface. The stable and precise accelerating recovering temperatures make the sample at a larger scale a potential widely applied temperature standard reference. The magnetization measurements reveal the coexistence of paramagnetic and diamagnetic in the LAO/STO samples at whole temperature from 2 K to 300 K. The abnormal electric resistance rise is observed with the decreasing temperature below 25 K for the samples of 7 and 15 LAO layers. This anomaly is attributed to the Kondo effect below 25 K and weak anti-localization below 5 K due to the weightier paramagnetic content. The larger diamagnetic content suppresses these contributions in 25 LAO layers sample. This work provided an insightful view that the strain modified structure domain leads to the enhancement of CAR effect, which helps to achieve a better understanding of domain related physics in the LAO/STO system.

Shape-controlled synthesis of golf-like, star-like, urchin-like and flower-like SrTiO3 for highly efficient photocatalytic degradation and H2 production
摘要： As a typical perovskite-type metal oxide, SrTiO3 has emerged as a prospective candidate for many fields. However, the synthesis of SrTiO3 with controlled morphology, high surface area, and enhanced photocatalytic activity are still lacking. Herein, a series of porous SrTiO3 with well-controlled morphologies including assembled nanoparticles (ANPs), golf-like particles (GLPs), star-like microspheres (SLMs), urchin-like microspheres (ULMs), and flower-like microspheres (FLMs) were successfully prepared via an ethylene glycol-water mixed solvothermal route. The ratio of VEG/VH2O play an important role in the shape-evolution during the solvothermal reaction. A comparative study of photocatalytic H2 production and photodegradation was performed, and a possible photocatalysis mechanism of SrTiO3 has been proposed. Significantly, the ULMs and FLMs photocatalysts of SrTiO3 with optimized low Pt loading amount (0.075wt.%) exhibited outstanding H2 production rates (8.21 and 7.29 mmol·g-1·h-1) due to its unique structure of high-surface area and defect-rich surface. The facile and shape-controlled synthesis of varied SrTiO3 structures is believed to be useful for the design and application of perovskite.
