Synthesis of Nanocrystalline SnxCd1?xS Thin Films Capped with Thioglycerol and Methanol (TGM) and Study of Optical and Structural Properties
摘要： Nanostructured CdS (nCdS) and ternary SnxCd1?xS thin films capped with thioglycerol and methanol in 1:1 ratio in aqueous medium were prepared using hydrated stannous chloride (SnCl2·2H2O), anhydrous cadmium acetate (CH3COO)Cd·2H2O and thiourea (CS(NH2)2) as sources of Sn, Cd and S ions, respectively. Thickness of the film drastically decreases for low concentrations (0–2%) of Sn doping, then increases for (2–3%) and 5% Sn doping. Effects of Sn concentration variation on the optical properties, photoluminescence and structural properties of the nanoparticles were studied. The optical transmittance measurement using ultraviolet–visible–near infrared spectroscopy showed more than 80% transparency in the wavelength range 450–800 nm for 3% and 5% Sn doping. The direct optical band gap value of nanoCdS thin films was obtained as 2.91 eV, which decreased with Sn doping for its varying concentrations. Photoconductivity gain was negligible. A decrease in intensity of lower wavelength emission at 430 nm in nCdS was observed to have (2–5)% Sn content. X-ray diffraction patterns and selected area electron diffraction patterns confirmed formation of the nanocrystalline hexagonal CdSnS phase. Scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope measurements of the CdSnS thin films show that the particle size lies well under 20 nm.

CHARACTERIZATION AND ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF ZnO NANOPARTICLES SYNTHESIZED BY CO PRECIPITATION METHOD
摘要： Objective: In the present study the antibacterial activity of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles was investigated against gram negative (Escherichia coli and Proteus vulgaris) and gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans) organisms. Methods: The synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles was carried out by co-precipitation method using zinc sulfate and sodium hydroxide as precursors. These nanoparticles were characterized by XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Radiation), UV-Visible spectroscopy and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) with EDX (Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis). As well as antibacterial activity and minimum inhibitory concentration of the nanoparticles were carried out by agar well diffusion method and broth dilution method respectively against gram negative (Escherichia coli and Proteus vulgaris) and gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans) bacteria. Results: The average crystallite size of ZnO nanoparticles was found to be 35 nm by X-ray diffraction. The vibration bands at 450 and 603 cm-1 which were assigned for ZnO stretching vibration were observed in FTIR spectrum. The optical absorption band at 383 nm was obtained from UV-Visible spectrum. Spherical shape morphology was observed in SEM studies. The antibacterial assay clearly expressed that E. coli showed a maximum zone of inhibition (32±0.20 mm) followed by Proteus vulgaris (30±0.45 nm) at 50 mg/ml concentration of ZnO nanoparticles. Conclusion: Zinc oxide nanoparticles have exhibited good antibacterial activity with gram negative bacteria when compared to gram positive bacteria.

Physical, structural and optical properties of Sm3+ doped lithium zinc alumino borate glasses
摘要： Sm3+ doped lithium zinc alumino borate glasses with composition 15ZnF2–12Li2CO3–10BaO–8Al2O3–(55-x) B2O3–xSm2O3 where x = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 1.1 mol% were prepared by conventional melt quenching technique Their optical, physical, structural, mechanical and luminescence properties are investigated. UV–Vis-NIR absorption spectra showed all possible transitions of samarium ion in this glass matrix. Band gap values for all the glass samples were above 3 eV con?rming the insulating nature for the glass. Densities, assessed using the Archimedes rule, were observed to be increasing with increasing samarium concentration. Increase in molar volume with addition of samarium content indicated that the extension of glass network is on account of the increase of number of Non-Bridging Oxygens created by network modi?er samarium ions. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) image showed a smooth surface for the synthezied glass. X-Ray Di?raction (XRD) technique was employed to verify the amorphous nature of the glasses. A Makishima and Mackenzie theoretical model gave acceptable approximation of elasticity constants viz. Young's modulus, shear modulus, bulk modulus and Poisson's ratio. The high Vickers hardness values evaluated with mechanical loads of 50, 100, 300, 500, 1000 g force, proved the stability of the glasses. Emission spectra showed a prominent transition 4G5/2 → 6H7/2 at 598 nm excited with 6H5/2 → 4P3/2 transition at 401 nm. Luminescence quenching e?ect was observed beyond 0.3 mol% Sm2O3 addition. The chromaticity coordinates (x, y) clustered in the orange-red region, making these Sm3+ doped lithium zinc alumino borate glasses suitable candidate for applications in LEDs and solid-state lasers.

Structural characterization and electrical conductivity analysis of MoO3–SeO2–ZnO semiconducting glass nanocomposites
摘要： A series of glass nanocomposite samples of the general composition formula xMoO3–(1-x) (0.5SeO2–0.5ZnO) for x = 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 have been prepared by solid-state reaction, i.e., slow cooling process. The structural characteristics have been explored by analyzing X-ray di?raction patterns, Fourier-transform infrared, and UV–Vis spectra. The superposition of di?erent nanophases SeO2, SeO3, ZnO, MoO3, Zn (SeO3), Zn (SeO4), Zn (MoO4), Zn2Mo3O8 and ZnMo8O10 over the amorphous glassy matrices have been identi?ed, and their crystallite sizes have been evaluated as well. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra reveal di?erent types of bonding like Zn–O–Se type and stretching vibrations of MoO6 octahedral units. It is observed that with increasing MoO3 concentration, the estimated values of optical bandgap energy, Urbach energy, and average crystallite size reduce. The dependency of electrical conductivity on frequency and temperature have been analyzed using Almond-West formalism and Jonscher's universal power-law. The non-linear character of DC conductivity and di?erent activation energies at low and high-temperature regions a?rm that the present glassy systems exhibit semiconducting nature. Moreover, DC conduction process is due to small polaron hopping through localized or defect states. The decreasing trend of power-law exponent (s) with temperature rise reveals that AC conduction mechanism is consistent with the correlated barrier-hopping (CBH) model. The existing correlated barrier-hopping model has been modi?ed to attain reasonable values of ?tting parameters and to obtain theoretical values of ideal thermodynamic glass transition temperature. The AC conductivity activation energy and free energy required for small polaron migration reduce with increasing conductivity. The scaling property emphasizes that conductivity relaxation process is subjected to the structure of the composition and does not depend on temperature.

Origin of Ferroelectricity in Epitaxial Si-doped HfO2 Films
摘要： HfO2-based unconventional ferroelectric (FE) materials were recently discovered and have attracted a great deal of attention in both academia and industry. The growth of epitaxial Si-doped HfO2 films has opened up a route to understand the mechanism of ferroelectricity. Here, we used pulsed laser deposition (PLD) to grow epitaxial Si-doped HfO2 films in different orientations of N-type SrTiO3 substrates. Using piezoforce microscopy, polar nanodomains can be written and read, and these domains are reversibly switched with a phase change of 180o. Films with different thicknesses displayed a coercive field Ec and a remnant polarization Pr of approximately 4～5 MV/cm and 8～32 μC/cm2, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) results identified that the as-grown Si-doped HfO2 films have strained fluorite structures. The ABAB stacking mode of the Hf atomic grid observed by HRTEM clearly demonstrates that the ferroelectricity originates from the noncentrosymmetric Pca21 polar structure. Combined with soft X-ray absorption spectra (XAS), it was found that the Pca21 ferroelectric crystal structure manifested as O sublattice distortion by the effect of interface strain and Si dopant interactions, resulting in further crystal-field splitting as a nanoscaled ferroelectric ordered state.

Nano-Heteroepitaxy: An Investigation of SiGe Nano-Pillars Coalescence
摘要： In this paper, SiGe nano-pillars coalescence was investigated using industrial Reduced Pressure-Chemical Vapour Deposition integration scheme based on diblock copolymer patterning provided nanometer size templates for the selective epitaxy of SiGe 25% nano-pillars. In order to study merging, thicknesses ranging from 20 to 35 nm were grown and samples characterized by AFM, XRD, SSRM and TEM. The evolution in terms of grains shape, size and number was examined, with individual pillars merging into larger grains above 30 nm thickness. High degrees of macroscopic strain relaxation were obtained at the different stages of nano-pillars merging. Defects such as stacking faults and twins were identified as occurring at the early stages of nano-pillar coalescence.

Investigation of Fe-doped room temperature dilute magnetic ZnO semiconductors
摘要： Different ceramics sample of Zn1-xFexO (ZFO) series have been sintered by solid state reaction method. Single phase polycrystalline Fe-doped ZnO sample with hexagonal wurtzite structure has been obtained with x < 0.03 mol. Segregation of Fe and/or its oxides have not been found in the XRD patterns. A weak secondary phase of ZnFe2O4 has been detected with x ≥ 0.03 mol. Presence of Ohmic conductivity has been detected in the dielectric property analysis and the reasons for this Maxwell-Wagner-Sillars (MWS) relaxation has been explained by the grain boundary barrier defect (GBBD) process. The obtained shift of diamagnetic behavior of pure ZnO samples to para-magnetic for ZFO samples has been established with the defect and impurity structure. The band gap energy for ZFO samples has been calculated between 2.85 eV to 3.15 eV. The results indicate the potential use of Fe doped ZnO ceramics in high frequency device applications.

Extrinsic heavy metal atom effect on the solid state room temperature phosphorescence of cyclic triimidazole
摘要： Four coordination compounds [Zn3(CH3COO)6(H2O)2](TT)2, [Cd(H2O)6](ClO4)2(TT)2, [Cd(H2O)6](BF4)2(TT)2, [Zn(H2O)6](BF4)2(TT)2 (1-4) accommodating triimidazo[1,2-a:1',2'-c:1'',2''-e][1,3,5]triazine (TT) as a guest in their crystal lattice are isolated and fully photophysically and structurally characterized. Their emission properties are compared with those of afterglow TT and interpreted taking into account the heavy atom effect and crystal packing similarities and differences. In the case of 1, due to the closeness of the TT H-aggregates arrangement with that of the phosphor's pure phase, the observed intensification of the phosphorescent emission at the expense of the prompt one is attributed to the extrinsic heavy atom effect of Zn. In 2 and 3, the heavier Cd atom is responsible for a decrease in the lifetimes of the afterglow emission, despite the presence of tightly overlapped H-dimers in the crystal structure. Finally for 4, isostructural with 3, the Zn atom reveals in RTUP lifetime comparable with that of 1.

The study of Fe-doped CdS nanoparticle-assisted photocatalytic degradation of organic dye in wastewater
摘要： Size-tunable nanoparticles (NPs) for pristine cadmium sulfide (CdS) and iron (Fe)-doped (5, 10 and 15%) CdS were synthesized using facile chemical co-precipitation. Size-controlled NPs were prepared with thioglycolic acid (TGA) as the capping agent and their structural, optical, morphological and physiochemical evaluations were performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–visible spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). XRD revealed single cubic phase of CdS and later broader peaks upon mixing of Fe, and intensive absorption was recorded in the visible regime upon doping with redshift. FESEM confirmed spherical nanoparticles of Fe–CdS, and Cd–S linkage along with other functional groups was recognized by FTIR. Cd1?xFexS (x = 0, 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15) powder was used as the photocatalyst for methylene blue (MB) degradation in visible light and catalyst in NaBH4’s presence. The control CdS bleached MB faster than doped but doped CdS showed higher catalytic degradation. The Fe-doped CdS NPs showed superior catalytic potential compared to undoped CdS which suggests their use in dye industries, especially leather and tanneries. Additionally, NPs not only show superior catalytic characteristics but also help in cost reduction and complete removal of dyes for wastewater management.

摘要： Cupric oxide (CuO) has been deposited onto glass and n-Si (1 0 0) substrate by sol-gel technique. pH of the sol and annealing temperature during film growth were found to be the key parameters for depositing the above film. Microstructural, optical and bonding environmental studies were performed on the above films. The grain sizes in these polycrystalline films varied between ～50 and 100 nm. Films were preferentially oriented in (?1 1 1) direction. Electrical and galvanomagnetic measurements indicated films to be predominantly p-type with carrier concentration value ～3.47 × 10^15/cm^3 and mobility values ～4.475 cm^2/Vs. A typical p-CuO/n-Si hetero-junction structure has been successfully fabricated with open circuit voltage (VOC) ～359 mV and short-circuit current density (JSC) ～4.65 mA/cm^2, fill factor (FF) ～0.38 and efficiency (η) ～1.05%.
