With the increase in the N-H-O doping ratio, the crystal growth rate decreased, the temperature and pressure conditions required for diamond nucleation became increasingly stringent, and the diamond crystallization process was affected. [111] became the dominant plane of diamonds;surface morphology became block-like;and growth texture,stacking faults, and etch pits increased. The diamond crystals had a two-dimensional growth habit. Increasing the doping concentration also increased the amount of N that entered the diamond crystals as confirmed via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. However, crystal quality gradually deteriorated as verified by the red-shifting of Raman peak positions and the widening of the Raman full width at half maximum. With the increase in the doping ratio, the photoluminescence property of the diamond crystals also drastically changed. The intensity of the N vacancy center of the diamond crystals changed, and several Ni-related defect centers, such as the NE1 and NE3 centers, appeared. Diamond synthesis in N-H-O-bearing fluid provides important information for deepening our understanding of the growth characteristics of diamonds in complex systems and the formation mechanism of natural diamonds, which are almost always N-rich and full of various defect centers. Meanwhile, this study proved that the type of defect centers in diamond crystals could be regulated by controlling the N-H-O impurity contents of the synthesis system.展开更多

Here we revisit the electron-doped SmFeAsO polycrystals to make a further investigation for the highest Tc in these materials. To introduce more electron carriers and less crystal lattice distortions, we study the Th and F eodoping effects into the Sm-O layers with heavy electron doping. Dozens of Sm1-xThx FeAsO1-yFy samples are synthesized through the solid state reaction method, and these samples are carefully characterized by the structural, resistive, and magnetic measurements. We find that the codoping of Th and F clearly enhances the superconducting Tc more than the Th or F single-doped samples, with the highest record Tc up to 58.6K when x = 0.2 and y=0.225. Further element doping causes more impurities and lattice distortions in the samples with a weakened superconductivity.展开更多

The phase changes to the mixture of β-Na YF4 and β-KYF4 with increasing the content of K^＋ions to 80 mol%.When it exceeds 80 mol%, β-Na YF4 disappears gradually and β-KYF4 dominates with a poor crystalline. In addition, the morphology changes from nanosphere to nanoplate, and then to nanoprism, which indicates that a higher content of K^＋ions favors the growth rates along [0001] than the [10-10] of the nanocrystals. Additionally, the upconversion（UC） luminescence properties and the ratio of red/green（R/G） UC intensity of samples with different phases and morphologies are detected,which makes it possible to tune the UC fluorescence by varying the concentration of K^＋ions.展开更多

The luminescence intensity of the tridoped hexagonal NaYF_4 synthesized by a hydrothermal method increased to the maximum, about seven times of the non-Zr^4＋ sample when the Zr^4＋ codoping concentration rose to 6 mol%, while the luminescence lifetime was also prolonged by Zr^4＋ codoping. To explore the relationships between the microstructure and upconversion properties, X-ray powder diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscope, electron energy-dispersive spectroscopy and upconversion emission spectroscopy were employed. From these characterizations, we found that the codoping of Zr^4＋ could modulate the crystal microstructure of NaYF_4 for higher upconversion luminescence intensity and longer lifetime. This study may be helpful for the design and synthesis of high-performance upconversion materials.展开更多

The calculated results demonstrate that （W（s）＋C（s）） codoped TiO2 narrows the band gap significantly, and have little influence on the position of conduction band edges, therefore, enhances the efficiency of the photocatalytic hydrogen generation from water and the photodegradation of organic pollutants. Moreover, the proper oxygen pressure and temperature are two key factors during synthesis which should be carefully under control so that the desired （W（s）＋C（s）） codoped TiO2 can be obtained.展开更多

文摘Owing to their unique optical properties and nontoxicity,lead-free halide double perovskite nanocrystals are of interest for widespread applications.Herein,the colloid synthesis and photoluminescenc e property of Ag^(+)-Eu^(3+)codoped Cs_(2)NaInCl_(6)nanocrystals were investigated.The pe rovskite nanocrystals exhibit a broad warm-white photo luminescence with correlated color temperature(CCT)of 3447 K and color rendering index(CRI)of 90.2,and the means of codoping would improve its optical performance.A fast energy transfer and a long-lived self-trapped excitons state are unveiled by the femtosecond transient absorption spectra.The fast energy transfer from the self-trapped excitons of host nanocrystals to the Eu^(3+)ions is helpful to achieve a broad photoluminescence,and the quantum yield of Cs_(2)NaInCl_(6):0.05Ag^(+)-Eu^(3+)anocrystals can be enha nced to 69.5%.There is a large exciton binding energy and strong electron-phonon interaction in the codoped perovskite nanocrystals.The efficient and excellent air-stable double perovskite nanocrystals would be considered as a single-component phosphor for warm-white lighting.
