Reorientational dynamics of organic cations in perovskite-like coordination polymers
摘要： Here we report the dynamics of organic cations as guest molecules in a perovskite host-framework. The molecular motion of CH3NH3+ (MAFe), (CH3)2NH2+ (DMAFe) and (CH3)3NH+ (TrMAFe) in the cage formed by KFe(CN)63? units was studied using a combination of experimental methods: (i) thermal analysis, (ii) dielectric and electric studies, (iii) optical observations, (iv) EPR and 1H NMR spectroscopy and (v) quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS). In the case of MAFe and TrMAFe, the thermal analysis reveals one solid-to-solid phase transition (PT) and two PTs for the DMAFe crystal. A markedly temperature-dependent dielectric constant indicates the tunable and switchable properties of the complexes. Also, their semiconducting properties are confirmed by a dc conductivity measurement. The broadband dielectric relaxation is analyzed for the TrMAFe sample in the frequency range of 100 Hz–1 GHz. QENS shows that we deal rather with the localized motion of the cation than a diffusive one. Three models, which concern the simultaneous rotation of the CH3 and/or NH3 group, π-flips and free rotations of the organic cation, are used to fit the elastic incoherent structure factor. The 1H NMR spin–lattice relaxation time for all compounds under study, as well as the second moments, has been measured in a wide temperature range. In all studied samples, the temperature dependence of the second moment of the proton NMR line indicated the gradual evolution of the molecular movements from the rigid state up to a highly disordered one.

Significantly enhanced room temperature electrocaloric response with superior thermal stability in sodium niobate-based bulk ceramics
摘要： Converting electrical into thermal energy in ferroelectrics path the way for a novel cooling technology, be able to open up new fields of applications. For electrocaloric refrigeration, large temperature change (ΔT) and excellent temperature stability are highly desired. Unfortunately, a large room temperature ΔT in lead free bulk ceramics was usually obtained at the expense of temperature stability, and vice versa, limiting their practical applications. In this work, composition engineering is carried out as an important strategy to tune phase transition to room temperature and simultaneously induce diffuse phase transition to achieve excellent temperature stability. A large room temperature ΔT is realized by the application of large electric fields, possibly due to the optimization of the sintering process in sodium niobate based ceramics. The 0.78NaNbO3-0.22BaTiO3 ceramic is found to exhibit both large room temperature ΔT (~ 0.70 K) and superior temperature stability (±1.4% variation in ΔT from 300 K to 380 K). Those properties are superior to previously reported lead-free bulk ceramics. This work provides a guideline for the development of high-performance ceramic materials such as NaNbO3-ABO3 (A=Ba, Sr and Ca; and B=Ti and Zr) for electrocaloric refrigeration. Most importantly, this work expands the applications of NN-based ceramics from electric energy storage, electrostrictive and piezoelectric applications, to a new field, i.e. solid-state refrigeration. This makes NN-based ceramics very promising multifunctional materials for device integration.

Nano-BaTiO3 phase transition behavior in coated BaTiO3-based dielectric ceramics
摘要： In this work, the phase structure of BaTiO3 nanopowders produced by the alkoxide-hydroxide and the hydrothermal method, respectively, was systemically investigated. BaTiO3 nanopowders with cubic phase produced by the alkoxide-hydroxide method could transform to tetragonal phase when heated to about 1100oC. Cubic to tetragonal phase transformation behavior of BaTiO3 nanopowders coated with 0.3BZT-0.7BT or 0.03Nb2O5-0.01Co2O3 was studied. The internal stress within core-shell structure was proposed to explain the BaTiO3 phase transformation behaviors. The mismatch of thermal expansion coefficient between core and shell plays a crucial role in cubic to tetragonal phase transformation of BaTiO3. By tuning the composition of shell and the ratio of the shell to the core, the cubic BaTiO3 core can transform to tetragonal phase successfully after sintering at 1100oC in BaTiO3 based ceramics with core-shell structure and it is mainly resulted by the reduced internal stress between the shell and core.

Crystal structure, optical and electrical properties of metal-halide compound [C7H16N2][ZnCl4]
摘要： A new organic–inorganic hybrid compound [C7H16N2][ZnCl4] was synthesized by hydrothermal method and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR and Raman spectroscopy, optical absorption, differential scanning calorimetry and dielectric measurements. Single crystal diffraction results showed that [C7H16N2][ZnCl4] crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/c at room temperature. In the molecular arrangement, the tetrachlorozincate anions are connected to organic cations through N-H...Cl hydrogen bonds. The Raman and IR analyses confirm the presence of the organic groups and the anionic entities. UV–Visible absorption spectrum revealed the energy of the optical band gap. DSC measurements indicated that [C7H16N2][ZnCl4] undergoes three sequential phase transitions at 287, 338 and 356 K. The dielectric study proved the ferroelectric properties below the 338K and indicates their classical character for this compound. The analysis of Nyquist plots revealed the contribution of the bulk mechanism and the grain boundaries.

Diluted Oxide Interfaces with Tunable Ground States
摘要： The metallic interface between two oxide insulators, such as LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (LAO/STO), provides new opportunities for electronics and spintronics. However, due to the presence of multiple orbital populations, tailoring the interfacial properties such as the ground state and metal-insulator transitions remains challenging. Here, an unforeseen tunability of the phase diagram of LAO/STO is reported by alloying LAO with a ferromagnetic LaMnO3 insulator without forming lattice disorder and at the same time without changing the polarity of the system. By increasing the Mn-doping level, x, of LaAl1?xMnxO3/STO (0 ≤ x ≤ 1), the interface undergoes a Lifshitz transition at x = 0.225 across a critical carrier density of nc = 2.8 × 1013 cm?2, where a peak TSC ≈255 mK of superconducting transition temperature is observed. Moreover, the LaAl1?xMnxO3 turns ferromagnetic at x ≥ 0.25. Remarkably, at x = 0.3, where the metallic interface is populated by only dxy electrons and just before it becomes insulating, a same device with both signatures of superconductivity and clear anomalous Hall effect (7.6 × 1012 cm?2 < ns ≤ 1.1 × 1013 cm?2) is achieved reproducibly. This provides a unique and effective way to tailor oxide interfaces for designing on-demand electronic and spintronic devices.

Synthesis, crystal structures, second harmonic generation response and temperature phase transitions of two noncentrosymmetric Cu(II)-hybrid halides compounds: [(R)-C7H16N2][CuX4] (X?= Cl or Br)
摘要： (R)-(+)-3-aminoquinuclidine was used in the synthesis of [(R)-C7H16N2][CuCl4] (1) and [(R)-C7H16N2][CuBr4] (2), which both contain similar [CuX4]2- anions (X = Cl or Br). The structures of the two compounds were determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The use of enantiomerically pure sources of (R)-C7H14N2 forces crystallographic noncentrosymmetry. These materials crystallize in the chiral space group P212121 (No. 19), which exhibits the enantiomorphic crystal class 222 (D2). In the molecular arrangement, the [CuX4]2- anions are linked to the organic cations through N-H...X and C-H...X hydrogen bonds to form cation-anion-cation molecular units, which are held together by means of offset face-to-face interactions giving a three-dimensional network. Thermal stability of the crystals was ascertained by TG measurement. Compounds (1) and (2) display several phases transition with higher transition temperature at T = 100°C. The Kurtz and Perry powder method using Nd:YAG laser shows that their second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiencies are about 0.81 and 0.82 times as large as that of KH2PO4 (KDP), respectively. Such a chiral hybrid metal halides skeleton could provide a new platform for future engineering in the areas including information storage, light modulators and optoelectronic functionalities.

Inverse logarithmic derivative method for determining the energy gap and the type of electron transitions as an alternative to the Tauc method
摘要： We present a method derived from Mott and Davies or Cody equation for calculating energy gap based on spectrophotometric measurements. The method has been tested on thin film TiO2 and MoS2/TiO2 bilayer produced by RF magnetron sputtering. The presented examples indicate that the Tauc and McLean methods, which are usually used to analyse data, are not justified in many cases, especially for multilayers. In the Tauc method, the problem is to determine the energy gap without knowing the nature of the optical transition. The McLean method involves fitting the power function which may cause difficulties in the proper selection of the fitting range. The presented method is based on the transformation of measurement data using inverse logarithmic derivative and performing of linear fittings. Our method does not assume value of the parameter m describing the nature of the optical transition and does not require knowledge of the thickness of the layers. The value of energy gap and parameter m can be obtained simultaneously thanks to one linear fit. In addition, this method has a practical advantages over methods of McLean and Tauc, which are described in the article.

Detecting the Burns temperature in Na <sub/>0.5</sub> Bi <sub/>0.5</sub> TiO <sub/>3</sub> -xBaTiO <sub/>3</sub> lead-free relaxor ferroelectrics by means of acoustic emission
摘要： Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-xBaTiO3 ceramics samples (0 < x < 0.8) were studied by means of an acoustic emission method. The characteristic temperatures such as the Burns temperature, TB, the transition to paraelectric phase, Tp, the temperature maximum of the dielectric constant, Tm, and the intermediate temperature, T ? were detected and their dependences on x were plotted. Based on the comparison of the obtained data with the previously published ones, it is shown that the Burns temperature, TB, cannot be reliably determined by the deviation of the reverse dielectric constant, 1/ε(cid:3), from a straight line.

‘Forbidden’ intersubband optical transitions in quantum well structures in a tilted magnetic field
摘要： In this paper, we report on the behavior of intersubband optical absorption and emission spectrum in quantum well structures with an asymmetrical potential profile in a quantizing magnetic field tilted with respect to the layers in the considered structure. The analysis of the effect of both the magnetic field value and orientation and potential profile of a quantum well structure on the intensity of the 'forbidden' (Δn ≠ 0) intersubband optical transitions is presented. We also present the approximate analytical expression for the estimation of the contribution to the absorption/emission coefficient of intersubband transitions with different Δn.

Phase formations and red-luminescence enhancement of Eu3+-activated NaBaY(BO3)2 phosphors
摘要： Eu3+-activated Na1-xKxBaY(BO3)2 (x = 0.1–1.0) phosphor was prepared via facile solid-state reaction ceramic method. The structural Rietveld refinements were completed to confirm the phase formations. The luminescence properties were reported such as photoluminescence excitation (PLE) and emission (PL) spectra, decay lifetime, experimental quantum efficiency (QE) and thermal stabilities. The phase formations and the luminescence properties of the phosphors have a dependence on the K+-substituting for Na+ in the lattices. The results showed that Na1-xKxBaY0.5Eu0.5(BO3)2 (x = 0.1–1.0) phosphors formed the trigonal NaBaY(BO3)2 single phase (Na-phase, space-group of R-3, No.148). Increasing the K+-substituting for Na+ (x ≤ 0.3) induced the appearance of KBaY(BO3)2 phase (K-phase, space-group of R-3 m, No. 166) together with the Na-phase (0.3 < x < 0.6). Heavily K-substituted samples crystallized into a single K-phase. Luminescence characteristics of Eu3+ ions were investigated on the evolution of the substituting-level. It was observed that the phosphors presented the improved emission intensity and thermal stability in the mixed phases.
