The IR, Photoluminescence （PL）, diffuse reflectance and three-dimensional （3D） thermoluminescence （TL） emission spectrum after 60^Co gamma ray irradiation were investigated. The characteristic 3D TL emission bands at about 425, 481 and 573 um with a main emission band of around 573 um were attributed to the host emission, 4^F9/2→6H15/2 and F9/2→6^H13/2 f-f transitions of Dy^3＋ ions. No emission from Dy^2＋ ions was observed in the measurement wavelength range. The TL-dose response of the Zn（BO2）2：Dy polycrystalline powder sample to gamma ray radiation in the range from 1 to 100 Gy at clinical dose levels was almost linear. The experimental results showed that Zn（BO2）2：Dy had potential use as the materials of gamma-ray thermoluminescence dosimeter （TLD） for clinical dosimetry.展开更多

Relations of substitution behaviors and lattice parameters with solid-solubility were studied. Furthermore, the influences of dysprosium oxide doping fraction on grain size and dielectric properties of barium titanate ceramic, including dielectric constant and breakdown electric field strength , were investigated via scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction and electric property tester. The results show that dysprosium oxide can restrain abnormal grain growth during sintering and that fine-grained and high density of barium titanate ceramic can result in excellent dielectric properties. As mass fraction of dysprosium oxide is 0.6%, the lattice parameters of grain increase to the maximum because of the lowest vacancy concentration. The electric property parameters are cited as following： dielectric constant （25 ℃ ） reaches 4100, the change in relative dielectric constant with temperature is - 10% to 10% within the range of - 15 - 100 ℃, breakdown electric field strength （alternating current） achieves 3.2 kV·mm^-1, which can be used in manufacturing high voltage ceramic capacitors展开更多

In this paper, physical, optical and structural properties of magnesium borate glasses doped with varied concentrations of DyOwere examined. Such glasses were synthesised by melt quenching method and characterized at room temperature using several analytical techniques.Luminescence and absorption spectra(in the visible region) of as-quenched samples were used to evaluate the physical and optical properties. XRD pattern confims the amorphous state of as-quenched samples. The Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectra of glasses reveal various bonding vibrations assigned to different functional groups. UV-vis-NIR spectra disclose eight absorption bands accompanied by a band for hypersensitive transition positioned at 1260 nm(~6 H→~6 F). The values of direct and indirect optical energy band gap of the studied glasses are decreased with the increase of Dyion contents. The photoluminescence spectra of all glasses under the excitation of 380 nm display two prominent emission bands centred at 497 nm(~4 F→~6 H, blue) and 587 nm(~4 F→~6 H, green).The achieved intense luminescence from the proposed glass composition may be beneficial for solidstate laser applications.展开更多

The research results indicated that, the content of impurity in distilled metal, such as Al and Fe, was lower in the ini-tial stage, increased slowly in the middle stage, and increased rapidly in the last stage during the process of distillation purification. The calculated method of separation coefficient of impurity in crude metal by content of impurity in distilled metal was not suitable for high pure metals, and the modified separation coefficient was proposed, and it equaled 1/6.1 and 1/16.9 for impurity Al and Fe. The physical process of distillation was coincident with that of solidification essentially, and solute re-distribution theory in solidify-ing front could be used to describe the impurity distribution near evaporating surface. In the former stage of distillation purification, the diffusion of impurity in liquid metal could reach a quasi-equilibrium state, the calculated result of impurity content in distilled metal agreed well with experiments. In the latter stage of distillation process, the diffusion rate of impurity in liquid metal decreased, and the content in distilled metal was larger than the calculated result.展开更多

Dy-containing polymer(PDM) was obtained by the solution polymerization of DM using 2, 2'-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator. The kinetic study on the polymerization shows that the polymerization of DM exhibits high apparent activation energy(96.3 kJ.mol(-1)), indicating that the activity of DM is low for polymerization. The kinetic equation of polymerization can be expressed as R-P = k(P)C(DM)(1.23)c(AIBN)(0.82).

Some kinetic parameters of processes were calculated. It was shown that the tungsten electrode was indifferent to gadolinium and dysprosium which were reduced on the surface. We found that the discharge mechanism of gadolinium and dysprosium chloride complexes was described by three-electron step when the steady-state conditions of polarization were limited by the mass transfer stage. The conditions of nonstationary polarization made the slowness of the charge transfer stage. The diffusion coefficient of gadolinium and dysprosium ions was calculated, the diffusion coefficient of GdCl3-6 ions was (0.9 ± 0.2) × 10-5 cm2.s-1, and for DYCI3-6 ions, it was (1.60 ± 0.2) × 10-5 сm2.s-1.展开更多

The results showed that the lowest energy structure of neutral DySi_n（n = 3~10） can be regarded as substituting a Si atom of the ground state structure of Si_（n＋1） with a Dy atom. For anions, the extra electron effect on the structure is significant. Starting from n = 6, the lowest energy structures of DySi_n~？（n = 3~10） differ from those of neutral. The ground state is quintuplet electronic state for DySi_n（n = 3~10） excluding DySi_4 and DySi_9, which is a septet electronic state. For anions, the ground state is a sextuplet electronic state. The reliable AEA and VDE of DySi_n（n = 3~10） are reported. Analyses of HOMO-LUMO gaps indicated that doping Dy atom to silicon clusters can improve significantly their photochemical reactivity, especially for DySi_9. Analyses of NPA revealed that the 4 f electrons of Dy in DySi_4, DySi_9, and DySi_n~？ with n = 4 and 6~10 participate in bonding. That is, DySi_nbelongs to the AB type. The 4 f electrons of Dy atom provide substantially the total magnetic moments for DySi_n and their anions. The dissociation energies of Ln（Ln = Pr, Sm, Eu, Gd, Ho, and Dy） fromLn Sin and their anions were evaluated to examine the relative stabilities.展开更多

文摘Polycrystalline powder samples of dysprosium doped Zn（BO2）2 phosphors were prepared by solid state reaction in air at high temperature and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction. The IR, Photoluminescence （PL）, diffuse reflectance and three-dimensional （3D） thermoluminescence （TL） emission spectrum after 60^Co gamma ray irradiation were investigated. The characteristic 3D TL emission bands at about 425, 481 and 573 um with a main emission band of around 573 um were attributed to the host emission, 4^F9/2→6H15/2 and F9/2→6^H13/2 f-f transitions of Dy^3＋ ions. No emission from Dy^2＋ ions was observed in the measurement wavelength range. The TL-dose response of the Zn（BO2）2：Dy polycrystalline powder sample to gamma ray radiation in the range from 1 to 100 Gy at clinical dose levels was almost linear. The experimental results showed that Zn（BO2）2：Dy had potential use as the materials of gamma-ray thermoluminescence dosimeter （TLD） for clinical dosimetry.

文摘The self-assembly reactions between mixed-ligand and tetrahydrate dysprosium acetate in the presence of mixed organic solvents lead to two structural similar dinuclear dysprosium complexes with composition formulas of Dy_(2)(L_1)_(2)(L_(2))_(2)(CH_(3)OH)_(2)·CH_(2)Cl_(2)·CH_(3)OH(1) and Dy_(2)(L_1)_(2)(L_(3))_(2)(CH_(3)OH)_(2)·CH_(3)CN(2),where L_1,L_(2) and L_(3) represent the deprotonated form of 4-tert-butyl-2-(7-methoxybenzo[d]oxazol-2-yl)phenol,(E)-1-(((3,5-di-tert-butyI-2-hydroxyphenyI)imino)methyl)naphthalen-2-ol and(E)-2,4-di-tertbutyl-6-((2-hydroxybenzylidene)amino)phenol.The tiny difference of the core structure of 1 and 2 is derived from the steric hindrance of Schiff base ligands L_(2) and L_(3).Dynamic magnetic measurements reveal that 1 and 2 show frequency-dependent out-of-phase alternating-current susceptibility signal peaks at different temperatures under zero dc field,diagnostic of single-molecule magnet behavior.The experimental derived energy barrier to magnetization reversal for 1 and 2 is 108(1),47(2) and 33(3) K.Ab initio CASSCF calculations performed on 1 and 2 suggest that the origin of the difference in magnetic properties originates from the variation in the single-ion anisotropy that arises due to minor structural variation.Further,the equation to calculate the effective energy barrier for Dy_(2) proposed earlier is found to yield an excellent agreement with the experimental results.Solid state fluorescence measurements performed on 1 and 2 demonstrate that both exhibit two ligands centered components of fluorescent emissive,in addition,with different emitting colors and chromaticity coordinates.The discrepancy of fluorescence and single molecule magnet behavior showed by 1 and 2 can be attributed to the steric hindrance effect of Schiff base ligands.
文摘Different amounts of dysprosium oxide were incorporated into barium titanate powders synthesized by hydrothermal method. Relations of substitution behaviors and lattice parameters with solid-solubility were studied. Furthermore, the influences of dysprosium oxide doping fraction on grain size and dielectric properties of barium titanate ceramic, including dielectric constant and breakdown electric field strength , were investigated via scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction and electric property tester. The results show that dysprosium oxide can restrain abnormal grain growth during sintering and that fine-grained and high density of barium titanate ceramic can result in excellent dielectric properties. As mass fraction of dysprosium oxide is 0.6%, the lattice parameters of grain increase to the maximum because of the lowest vacancy concentration. The electric property parameters are cited as following： dielectric constant （25 ℃ ） reaches 4100, the change in relative dielectric constant with temperature is - 10% to 10% within the range of - 15 - 100 ℃, breakdown electric field strength （alternating current） achieves 3.2 kV·mm^-1, which can be used in manufacturing high voltage ceramic capacitors

文摘In this current study,nanocrystalline Dy powders were prepared by melt-spinning and subsequent highenergy ball-milling.The effect of ball-milling time on the structure and magnetic properties of the powders was studied.The crystal structure and microstructure of the melt-spun ribbons and ball-milled powders were observed by X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).Magnetic measurement of all samples was performed with vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM).XRD results indicate that the average crystal grain size of the powders decreases from 90.09 nm of the ribbons to 10.42 nm of the4-h ball-milled powders.Further TEM observation shows that the grains are fine and uniform.The Neel temperature(TN)decreases from 182 K of the ribbons to 172 K of the powders,while the Curie temperature(TC)increases from100 to 130 K,demonstrating that the grain size has substantial influence on the magnetic transition process.Moreover,at 60 K,as the ball-milling time increases,the coercivity of the powders increases first,peaking at 0.48 T for 2-h milling,then drops again,while the remanence of the powders decreases monotonic ally.As a result,the powders milled for 2 h exhibit an optimal maximum energy product of 64.0 kJ·m-3,demonstrating the good potential of these powders as a permanent magnet at low temperatures.

文摘Dysprosium complexes based on [F-Dy] or near-linear [F-Dy-F] unit are of great concern in the field of single-molecule magnets due to their large magnetic anisotropy.Here,the crystal structure and the magnetic relaxation dynamics were reported for a three-dimensional(3 D) metal-organic framework(MOF):[DyF(C_(2)O_(4))(H_(2)O)2]n·2nH_(2)O(1),which is the unique MOF containing zig-zag [Dy-F]_(n) chains.Magnetic susceptibility characterization reveals that 1 is one of the few 3 D MOFs which show slow magnetic relaxation under zero dc field.And the effective energy barrier of 72 K for 1 is also higher than most Dy-based 3 D MOFs.The diamagnetic ion dilution study shows that the ferromagnetic exchange couplings mainly transmitted by F^(-) bridges in 1 contribute little to the energy barrier,but effectively suppress the quantum tunneling process and result in a smooth hysteresis loop with no waist-restricted step.

文摘Intense visible emissions from dysprosium(Dy3+) ions doped glasses became prospective for diverse technological applications. In this paper, physical, optical and structural properties of magnesium borate glasses doped with varied concentrations of DyOwere examined. Such glasses were synthesised by melt quenching method and characterized at room temperature using several analytical techniques.Luminescence and absorption spectra(in the visible region) of as-quenched samples were used to evaluate the physical and optical properties. XRD pattern confims the amorphous state of as-quenched samples. The Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectra of glasses reveal various bonding vibrations assigned to different functional groups. UV-vis-NIR spectra disclose eight absorption bands accompanied by a band for hypersensitive transition positioned at 1260 nm(~6 H→~6 F). The values of direct and indirect optical energy band gap of the studied glasses are decreased with the increase of Dyion contents. The photoluminescence spectra of all glasses under the excitation of 380 nm display two prominent emission bands centred at 497 nm(~4 F→~6 H, blue) and 587 nm(~4 F→~6 H, green).The achieved intense luminescence from the proposed glass composition may be beneficial for solidstate laser applications.

文摘In view of the importance of solvent extraction of rare earth metals with the acidic organophosphorous reagent,the development of a chemically based model applicable to high concentration is desired.In the present study,the equilibrium distribution of dysprosium(Ⅲ)between an aqueous nitric acid solution and 2-ethylhexylphosphonic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester (PC88A)was measured in the range of an initial aqueous dysprosium(Ⅲ)concentration from 1.0×10-3to 1.0×10-1kmol/m 3and PC88A concentration from 0.16 to 0.65 kmol/m3in Shellsol D70 as the diluent.The obtained data were analyzed using the chemically based model in order to correlate the equilibrium distribution ratios.In this model,dysprosium(Ⅲ)was assumed to be extracted with the PC88A dimer as a 1:3 complex,the activities were considered for the aqueous species,and the effective concentration of the PC88A dimer was calculated using Alstad's empirical equation.As a result,the apparent extraction equilibrium constant was determined to be 253(kmol·m- 3)-2with an excellent correlation between the experiment and calculation results in the wide range of the logarithm of the distribution ratio from-2 to 3.5.In conclusion,the methodology in this model would be effective for quantitative description of solvent extraction behavior of general rare earth elements as well as dysprosium.

文摘The distribution rules of impurities contents in distilled metallic dysprosium were researched, and a theoretical analysis was carried out. The research results indicated that, the content of impurity in distilled metal, such as Al and Fe, was lower in the ini-tial stage, increased slowly in the middle stage, and increased rapidly in the last stage during the process of distillation purification. The calculated method of separation coefficient of impurity in crude metal by content of impurity in distilled metal was not suitable for high pure metals, and the modified separation coefficient was proposed, and it equaled 1/6.1 and 1/16.9 for impurity Al and Fe. The physical process of distillation was coincident with that of solidification essentially, and solute re-distribution theory in solidify-ing front could be used to describe the impurity distribution near evaporating surface. In the former stage of distillation purification, the diffusion of impurity in liquid metal could reach a quasi-equilibrium state, the calculated result of impurity content in distilled metal agreed well with experiments. In the latter stage of distillation process, the diffusion rate of impurity in liquid metal decreased, and the content in distilled metal was larger than the calculated result.

文摘A dinuclear dysprosium（III） complex with benzoic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline, [Dy（BA）3phen]2 （BA = benzoate, PHEN = 1,10-phenanthroline） （C66H46Dy2NaO12, Mr = 1412.07） was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, UV, IR, X-ray diffraction, molar conductance and TG-DTG techniques. It crystallizes in triclinic, space group P1 with a = 10.773（2）, b = 11.933（3）, c = 12.417（5） A, α= 105.226（3）,β= 93.470（3）, γ= 113.475（2）°, V= 1388.0（7）, Z = 1, Dc = 1.689 g/cm3, μ（MoKa） = 2.742 mm-1 and F（000） = 698. R = 0.0210, wR = 0.0538. In the crystal, each Dy（III） ion is eight-coordinated by one bidentate chelating carboxylate group, four bidentate bridging carboxylate groups and one 1,10-phenanthroline molecule.

文摘Mono(isopropyl maleate-oyloxyl) diisopropoxyl dysprosium(DM) was synthesized by the reaction of dysprosium isopropoxide with maleic anhydride. Dy-containing polymer(PDM) was obtained by the solution polymerization of DM using 2, 2'-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator. The kinetic study on the polymerization shows that the polymerization of DM exhibits high apparent activation energy(96.3 kJ.mol(-1)), indicating that the activity of DM is low for polymerization. The kinetic equation of polymerization can be expressed as R-P = k(P)C(DM)(1.23)c(AIBN)(0.82). The polymeric solid material shows excellent heat-stability and strong characteristic fluorescence of Dy3+, (4)Fg(9/2) --> H-6(15/2) and F-4(9/2) --> H-6(13/2).
文摘Using a melt-cooling process with the host glass,Dy_(2)O_(3)(1 wt%,2 wt%,3 wt%,and 4 wt%) doped tellurite glasses were produced.A(65-x)TeO_(2)-20B_(2)O_(3)-10Al_(2)O_(3)-SGeO_(2)-xDy_(2)O_(3) glass system was analyzed by Xray diffraction.The patterns have a hump at 2θ=27°-29° and no sharp peaks,indicating that all the glass samples are amorphous.The Vickers microhardness determines how resistant a glass is to persistent deformation produced by a harder substance.Differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) at 300-550℃ was used to evaluate the thermal properties of the Dy_x glass samples.The glass transition temperature T_g(small endothermic peak),start crystallization temperature T_x and crystallization temperature T_c can all be seen on the DSC thermogram(exothermic peaks).The UV-Vis transmittance and absorption spectra were measured.The optical data show that the values of E_d^(ir),E_g^(Ind) and E_U decrease as the amount of Dy_(2)O_(3)increases,indicating a narrowing of the tails due to localized states in the forbidden gap.A concentration quenching event occurs when Dy^(3+) concentrations are above a certain threshold(1%).The addition of Dy_(2)O_(3) increases glass density,while the addition of other Dy(Ⅲ) oxides increases sample density.The radiation shielding values change as a consequence of density fluctuation.The sample with the highest amount of Dy_(2)O_(3)(Dy_(4)) has stronger radiation shielding characteristics;hence,it is superior in terms of shielding outcomes at all energy levels.Such Dy_x samples can be used in various forms of ionizing radiation shielding.
文摘The mechanism of rare earth metals (Gd and Dy) chloride complexes electroreduction on the tungsten electrode in equimolar NaCl-KCl melt at 973 K has been studied by linear and cyclic voltammetry. Some kinetic parameters of processes were calculated. It was shown that the tungsten electrode was indifferent to gadolinium and dysprosium which were reduced on the surface. We found that the discharge mechanism of gadolinium and dysprosium chloride complexes was described by three-electron step when the steady-state conditions of polarization were limited by the mass transfer stage. The conditions of nonstationary polarization made the slowness of the charge transfer stage. The diffusion coefficient of gadolinium and dysprosium ions was calculated, the diffusion coefficient of GdCl3-6 ions was (0.9 ± 0.2) × 10-5 cm2.s-1, and for DYCI3-6 ions, it was (1.60 ± 0.2) × 10-5 сm2.s-1.

文摘The equilibrium geometries, electronic structures and electronic properties including adiabatic electron affinity（AEA）, vertical detachment energy（VDE）, simulated photoelectron spectroscopy, HOMO-LUMO gap, charge transfer, and magnetic moment for DySi_n（n = 3~10） clusters and their anions were systematically investigated by using the ABCluster global search technique combined with the B3 LYP and B2 PLYP density functional methods. The results showed that the lowest energy structure of neutral DySi_n（n = 3~10） can be regarded as substituting a Si atom of the ground state structure of Si_（n＋1） with a Dy atom. For anions, the extra electron effect on the structure is significant. Starting from n = 6, the lowest energy structures of DySi_n~？（n = 3~10） differ from those of neutral. The ground state is quintuplet electronic state for DySi_n（n = 3~10） excluding DySi_4 and DySi_9, which is a septet electronic state. For anions, the ground state is a sextuplet electronic state. The reliable AEA and VDE of DySi_n（n = 3~10） are reported. Analyses of HOMO-LUMO gaps indicated that doping Dy atom to silicon clusters can improve significantly their photochemical reactivity, especially for DySi_9. Analyses of NPA revealed that the 4 f electrons of Dy in DySi_4, DySi_9, and DySi_n~？ with n = 4 and 6~10 participate in bonding. That is, DySi_nbelongs to the AB type. The 4 f electrons of Dy atom provide substantially the total magnetic moments for DySi_n and their anions. The dissociation energies of Ln（Ln = Pr, Sm, Eu, Gd, Ho, and Dy） fromLn Sin and their anions were evaluated to examine the relative stabilities.
