Atomically Precise PdSe 2 Pentagonal Nanoribbons

We report atomically precise pentagonal PdSe 2 nanoribbons (PNRs) fabricated on a pristine PdSe 2 substrate with a hybrid method of top-down and bottom-up processes. The PNRs form a uniform array of dimer structure with a width of 2.4 nm and length of more than 200 nm. In situ four-probe scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) reveals metallic behavior of PNRs with ballistic transport for at least 20 nm in length. Density functional theory calculations produce a semiconducting density of states of isolated PNRs and find that the band gap narrows and disappears quickly once considering coupling between PNR stacking layers or interaction with the PdSe 2 substrate. The coupling of PNRs is further corroborated by Raman spectroscopy and field-effect transistor measurements. The facile method of fabricating atomically precise PNRs offers an air-stable functional material for dimensional control.

Amplification of a seed pumped by a chirped laser in the strong coupling Brillouin regime

Seed amplification via Brillouin backscattering of a long pump laser-pulse is considered. The interaction takes place in the so called strong coupling regime. Pump chirping is applied to mitigate spontaneous Raman backscattering of the pump before interacting with the seed. The strong coupling regime facilitates stronger exponential growth and narrower seeds compared to the so called weak coupling regime, although in the latter the scaling with pump amplitude is stronger. Strong coupling is achieved when the pump laser amplitude exceeds a certain threshold. It is shown how the chirp influences both the linear as well as the nonlinear amplification process. First, linear amplification as well as the seed profiles are determined in dependence of the chirping rate. In contrast to the weak coupling situation, the evolution is not symmetric with respect to the sign of the chirping rate. In the nonlinear stage of the amplification, we find an intrinsic chirp of the seed pulse even for an un-chirped pump. We show that chirping the pump may have a strong influence on the shape of the seed in the nonlinear amplification phase. Also, the influence of pump chirp on the efficiency of Brillouin seed amplification is discussed.

Raman vibrational spectra of bulk to monolayer Re S 2 with lower symmetry

Lattice structure and symmetry of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials are of key importance to their fundamental mechanical, thermal, electronic and optical properties. Raman spectroscopy, as a convenient and nondestructive tool, however has its limitations on identifying all symmetry allowing Raman modes and determining the corresponding crystal structure of 2D layered materials with high symmetry like graphene and MoS 2 . Due to lower structural symmetry and extraordinary weak interlayer coupling of ReS 2 , we successfully identified all 18 first-order Raman active modes for bulk and monolayer ReS 2 . Without van der Waals (vdW) correction, our local density approximation (LDA) calculations successfully reproduce all the Raman modes. Our calculations also suggest no surface reconstruction effect and the absence of low frequency rigid-layer Raman modes below 100 cm -1 . As a result, combining with Raman and LDA thus provides a general approach for studying the vibrational and structural properties of 2D layered materials with lower symmetry.

Side-illuminated tip-enhanced Raman study of edge phonon in graphene at the electrical breakdown limit

Nanoscale integration of graphene into a circuit requires a stable performance under high current density. However, the effects of the current density that approach the electronic breakdown limit of graphene are not well understood. We explored the effects of a high current density, close to the electronic breakdown limit of 10 A/cm (∼3.0 × 10{sup 8 }A/cm{sup 2}), on graphene, using tip-enhanced Raman scattering. The results showed that the high current density induces Raman bands at 1456 and 1530 cm{sup −1}, which were assigned to edge-phonon modes originating from zigzag and armchair edges. This led us to conclude that C–C bonds are cleaved due to the high current density, leaving edge structures behind, which were detected through the observation of localized phonons.

Effects of crystallization on micro-mechanical behavior of polyethylene nanocomposites using Raman spectroscopy

Recent work has shown that nanoparticles can be ordered in semicrystalline polymers by controlling the crystallization rate, specifically by forcing them to migrate to the amorphous regions of the lamellar morphology. Here, we study the micromechanical behavior of neat polyethylene and silica/polyethylene nanocomposites filled with 15 nm brush-modified silica in the quenched and slow-crystallized organized state. The molecular response to loading in tension was monitored with Raman spectroscopy using the peaks associated with crystalline and amorphous regions. The addition of nanofillers dramatically reduced the shift in the amorphous peaks, indicating that in addition to carrying some load, the brush-modified nanoparticles may be acting as tie molecules that restrict amorphous deformation. The higher degree of lamellar organization and the organization of the nanoparticles also impacted the crystalline peak shifts, but more subtly.

STXM-C-XANES, IR Microspectroscopy, and Raman Microspectroscopy Analysis of Organic Matter in the Chwichiya 002 C3.00-Ungrouped Chondrite

Chwichiya 002 is a C3.00-ungrouped carbonaceous chondrite discovered in Western Sahara in 2018. The presence of hydrated phases in Chwichiya 002 was not confirmed by XRD analysis, and only a faint water and Si-O band attributed to phyllosilicate were observed by infrared transmission spectroscopy, indicating a very low degree of aqueous alteration (Meteoritical Bulletin, 2020). The structural order of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons evaluated by Raman spectroscopy indicates that the effect of thermal metamorphism is less severe than in the Semarkona meteorite, an LL3.00 ordinary chondrite (Meteoritical Bulletin, 2020). Chiwichiya 002 is a very primitive carbonaceous chondrite and an important information source for the early stage of the evolution of organic matter in the solar system. In this study, we investigated the molecular structure and distribution of organic matter in Chiwichiya 002 by Carbon X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (C-XANES) analysis using a Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscope (STXM). The STXM-C-XANES analysis has a spatial resolution of 20~100 nm and can observe the spatial distribution of organic materials in microstructures. In addition, to investigate the degree of thermal metamorphism of the organic matter, micro-IR, and micro-Raman spectroscopic analyses were performed. In addition, the Murchison CM2 chondrite was also analyzed for comparison. To evaluate contamination during analytical procedures, antigorite, which was heated in air at 500°C for 5 hours to eliminate organic matter was also analyzed in the same manner. The samples were milled into 100 nm-thick, thin sections using a Focused Ion Beam (FIB), and C-XANES spectra were obtained using the STXM at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization, Photon Factory (PF), BL-19B. The obtained C-XANES spectra were smoothed and then fitted with Gaussian functions using the method of Le Guillou et al. (2018). The C-XANES showed that the ratio of oxygenated functional group (ketone, phenolic) carbons in Chwichiya 002 was lower than in Murchison, whereas the ratio of aliphatic carbons was almost the same. This may reflect the low degree of aqueous alteration of Chwichiya 002. In addition, contamination peaks were detected at 287.3-287.7 eV and 288.3-288.7 eV in the C-XANES spectra of some of the antigorite samples. The source of these peaks is under investigation. Raman spectroscopic analysis showed that the intensity ratio of the D band to the G band of Chwichiya 002 was slightly higher than that of Murchison. IR absorption spectra showed aromatic absorption at 1630 cm -1 , but there was little absorption due to aliphatic C-H around 2900 cm -1 . These results suggest that the organic matter in Chwichiya 002 may be more heated than in Murchison.

Evaluation of Daytime Measurements of Aerosols and Water Vapor made by an Operational Raman Lidar over the Southern Great Plains

Raman lidar water vapor and aerosol extinction profiles acquired during the daytime over the Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Southern Great Plains (SGP) site in northern Oklahoma (36.606 N, 97.50 W, 315 m) are evaluated using profiles measured by in situ and remote sensing instruments deployed during the May 2003 Aerosol Intensive Operations Period (IOP). The automated algorithms used to derive these profiles from the Raman lidar data were first modified to reduce the adverse effects associated with a general loss of sensitivity of the Raman lidar since early 2002. The Raman lidar water vapor measurements, which are calibrated to match precipitable water vapor (PWV) derived from coincident microwave radiometer (MWR) measurements were, on average, 5-10% (0.3-0.6 g/m(exp 3) higher than the other measurements. Some of this difference is due to out-of-date line parameters that were subsequently updated in the MWR PWV retrievals. The Raman lidar aerosol extinction measurements were, on average, about 0.03 km(exp -1) higher than aerosol measurements derived from airborne Sun photometer measurements of aerosol optical thickness and in situ measurements of aerosol scattering and absorption. This bias, which was about 50% of the mean aerosol extinction measured during this IOP, decreased to about 10% when aerosol extinction comparisons were restricted to aerosol extinction values larger than 0.15 km(exp -1). The lidar measurements of the aerosol extinction/backscatter ratio and airborne Sun photometer measurements of the aerosol optical thickness were used along with in situ measurements of the aerosol size distribution to retrieve estimates of the aerosol single scattering albedo (omega(sub o)) and the effective complex refractive index. Retrieved values of omega(sub o) ranged from (0.91-0.98) and were in generally good agreement with omega(sub o) derived from airborne in situ measurements of scattering and absorption. Elevated aerosol layers located between about 2.6 and 3.6 km were observed by the Raman lidar on May 25 and May 27. The airborne measurements and lidar retrievals indicated that these layers, which were likely smoke produced by Siberian forest fires, were primarily composed of relatively large particles (r(sub eff) approximately 0.23 micrometers), and that the layers were relatively nonabsorbing (omega(sub o) approximately 0.96-0.98). Preliminary results show that major modifications that were made to the Raman lidar system during 2004 have dramatically improved the sensitivity in the aerosol and water vapor channels and reduced random errors in the aerosol scattering ratio and water vapor retrievals by an order of magnitude.

A comparative study on the oxidation of two-dimensional Ti 3 C 2 MXene structures in different environments

The oxidation of two-dimensional Ti 3 C 2 MXene structures has been recognized as a promising method for the formation of hybrid structures of carbon supported nanotitania. Here, we studied the oxidation of Ti 3 C 2 MXene structures using reactive force field (ReaxFF) based molecular dynamics simulations. To investigate the effect of oxidizing agent, we used three different environments including dry air (oxygen molecules), wet air (oxygen and water molecules) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 molecules). Oxidation simulations were performed at different temperatures of 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 and 3000 K. We found that by controlling the temperature, carbon supported titania can be formed by diffusion of Ti atoms to the surface of MXene structures during the oxidation. These results were confirmed by the increase in the average bond orders of C–C and Ti–O and decrease in the average bond orders of Ti–C. Moreover, it was revealed that by increasing the temperature, the oxidation rate increases, and the rate depends on the oxidant according to the following order: H 2 O 2 > wet air > dry air. This was validated by heating the MXene in wet air and dry air followed by examining the products using X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. To investigate the effect of the presence of the oxidant, the MXene structure was also heated under vacuum, and it was found that in this case the MXene structure was converted to cubic TiC. Furthermore, it was indicated that during the heating process of the MXene structure in a vacuum, the average bond orders for C–C, Ti–C and Ti–O do not change significantly due to the lack of oxidants in the environment, leaving room for only topotactic transformation of atoms during the heating. In conclusion, the formation of the TiC structure by heating the MXene in an inert environment was confirmed experimentally as well.

SiO2-TiO2 doped with Er3+/Yb3+/Eu3+ photoluminescent material: A spectroscopy and structural study about potential application for improvement of the efficiency on solar cells

Highlights: • Intense downconversion emission of Eu{sup 3+} under Uv excitation. • Upconversion emission assigned to the Er{sup 3+}/Yb{sup 3+} under 980 laser pump. • Double excitation simultaneous providing emission in visible range. • Potential application on improvement of solar cells. - Abstract: The various synthesis conditions to obtain a material based on SiO{sub 2}-TiO{sub 2} co-doped with Er{sup 3+}/Yb{sup 3+}/Eu{sup 3+} were investigated, searching for those that present the greatest potential to improve the efficiency of solar cells. Conditions adjusted included heat-treatment temperatures, concentrations of matrix, and concentrations of dopants. Raman spectroscopy results demonstrated the effect of the annealing temperatures on the TiO{sub 2} phase transition and the crystalline phase of the materials, which interfere with the photoluminescence of the materials. The band gap of the materials was evaluated by diffuse reflectance and it decreased due to the doping. The materials were able to absorb UV and IR energy and emit in the visible region, verified by the down conversion, up conversion and the double excitation of the materials. The results showed that the materials may be used as a strategy to use a greater portion of the solar spectrum, improving solar cell efficiency.

Brillouin optical reflectometer with a Brillouin active filter

A new scheme of a fibre-optic Brillouin reflectometer is experimentally studied, in which the spectral line of spontaneous Brillouin scattering is selected by an active Brillouin filter represented by the tested fibre itself. To improve the reflectometer characteristics, a cyclic code and Raman amplification of the scattering signal are applied. With an averaging time of 5 min, scanning of 25 km of fibre with a spatial resolution of 4 m and a sampling resolution of 1 m are provided. The root-mean-square deviation in determining the Brillouin frequency is less than 1.1 MHz. The reflectometer sensitivity is evaluated with respect to the temperature changes and mechanical deformation. (paper)

Hydrothermal Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Brackebuschite-Type Transition Metal Vanadates: Ba 2 M(VO 4 ) 2 (OH), M = V 3+ , Mn 3+ , and Fe 3+ , with Interesting Jahn–Teller and Spin-Liquid Behavior

In a new series of transition metal vanadates, namely, Ba 2 M(VO 4 ) 2 (OH) (M = V 3+ , Mn 3+ , and Fe 3+ ), was synthesized as large single crystals hydrothermally in 5 M NaOH solution at 580 °C and 1 kbar. This new series of compounds is structurally reminiscent of the brackebuschite mineral type. The structure of Ba 2 V(VO 4 ) 2 (OH) is monoclinic in space group P2 1 /m, a = 7.8783(2) Å, b = 6.1369(1) Å, c = 9.1836(2) Å, β = 113.07(3)°, V = 408.51(2) Å 3 . Moreover, the other structures are similar and consist of one-dimensional trans edge-shared distorted octahedral chains running along the b-axis. The vanadate groups bridge across edges of their tetrahedra. Structural analysis of the Ba 2 Mn(VO 4 ) 2 (OH) analogue yielded a new understanding of the Jahn–Teller effect in this structure type. Raman and infrared spectra were investigated to observe the fundamental vanadate and hydroxide vibrational modes. Finally, single-crystal temperature-dependent magnetic studies on Ba 2 V(VO 4 ) 2 (OH) reveal a broad feature over a wide temperature range with maximum at ~100 K indicating that an energy gap could exist between the antiferromagnetic singlet ground state and excited triplet states, making it potentially of interest for quantum magnetism studies.

Comparison of Ce( iv )/Th( iv )-alkynyl complexes and observation of a trans -influence ligand series for Ce( iv )

Organometallic cerium(iv) complexes have been challenging to isolate and characterize due to the strongly oxidizing nature of the cerium(iv) cation. Herein, we report two cerium(iv) alkynyl complexes, [Ce(TriNOx)(C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-SiMe3)] (1-CeTMS) and [Ce(TriNOx)(C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-Ph)] (1-CePh) (TriNOx3- = tris(2-tert-butylhydroxylaminato)benzylamine), that include terminal alkyne moieties. The isostructural thorium analogue [Th(TriNOx)(C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-SiMe3)] (1-ThTMS) was also synthesized and compared with 1-CeTMS in bond distance, 13C-NMR spectra, vibrational spectra and electronic structure. The Ce-C bond distances were 2.501(3) Å for 1-CePh and 2.513(5) Å for 1-CeTMS on the shorter end of the few reported CeIV-C single bonds (2.478(3)-2.705(2) Å), possibly indicating significant Ce 5d- and 4f-orbital involvement. 13C-NMR spectroscopy was also consistent with Ce-C covalency, with significantly deshielded resonances ranging from 185-213 ppm. Such 13C-NMR shifts demonstrate a strong influence from spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effects, corroborated by computational studies. Raman analysis showed ν C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C stretching frequencies of 2000 cm-1 (1-CeTMS) and 2052 cm-1 (1-CePh), indicating the cerium(iv)-alkynyl interaction, compared to the parent HC[triple bond, length as m-dash]CPh (IR = 2105 cm-1 and Raman = 2104 cm-1). L3-edge X-ray absorption measurements revealed a predominant Ce(iv) electronic configuration, and magnetic measurements revealed temperature-independent paramagnetism. Electrochemical studies similarly revealed the electron donating ability of the alkynyl ligands, stronger than either fluoride or imido ligands for the Ce(iv)(TriNOx)-framework, with a cerium(iv/iii) reduction potential of E pc = -1.58 to -1.66 V vs. Fc/Fc+. Evidence for a trans-influence has been observed by evaluating a series including previously reported [CeIV(TriNOx)X]+/0 complexes with axial ligands X = THF, I-, Br-, Cl-, F-, -C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-Ph, -C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-SiMe3, -NH(3,5-(CF3)2-Ar), -OSiPh3, -N(M(L))(3,5-(CF3)2-Ar) [M(L) = Li(TMEDA), K(DME)2 or Cs(2,2,2-crypt)]. These data stand in contrast with previous reports of an inverse trans-influence at cerium(iv) and point to differences in involvement of cerium 4f- versus 5d-orbitals in the electronic structures of the complexes.

Dynamics of metal-induced crystallization of ultrathin Ge films by rapid thermal annealing

Though Ge crystallization has been widely studied, few works investigate metal-induced crystallization of ultrathin Ge films. For 2 nm Ge films in oxide matrix, crystallization becomes challenging due to easy oxidation and low mobility of Ge atoms. Introducing metal atoms may alleviate these problems, but the functions and the behaviours of metal atoms need to be clarified. This paper investigates the crystallization dynamics of a multilayer structure 1.9 nm Ge/0.5 nm Al/1.5 nm Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} under rapid thermal annealing (RTA). The functions of metal atoms, like effective anti-oxidation, downshifting Raman peaks, and incapability to decrease crystallization temperature, are found and explained. The metal behaviours, such as inter-diffusion and defect generation, are supported with direct evidences, Al-Ge nanobicrystals, and Al cluster in Ge atoms. With these understandings, a two-step RTA process achieves high-quality 2 nm nanocrystal Ge films with Raman peak at 298 cm{sup −1} of FWHM 10.3 cm{sup −1} and atomic smooth interfaces.

Selective incorporation of antimony into gallium nitride

Dilute concentrations of antimony (Sb) incorporation into GaN induce strong bandgap bowing and tunable room-temperature photoluminescence from the UV to the green spectral regions. However, the atomistic details of the incorporation of Sb into the GaN host remain unclear. In this work, we use first-principles calculations to understand the thermodynamics of Sb substitution into GaN and its effect on the optical and Raman spectra. Although it is empirically considered that Sb is preferentially incorporated as an anion (Sb3−) into the N sublattice, we demonstrate that Sb can also be incorporated as a cation (Sb3+, Sb5+) into the metal sublattice. Our thermodynamic analysis demonstrates that SbN0, SbGa2+, and SbGa0 can co-exist under Ga-rich conditions in n-type samples. We further confirm the dual incorporation of Sb by calculating the vibrational frequencies of different anionic and cationic substitutions to explain the origins of experimentally observed additional Raman peaks of Sb-doped GaN. Moreover, the calculated band structures of different Sb substitutions into GaN explain the experimental photoluminescence and optical absorption spectra. Overall, our analysis suggests that the coexistence of Sb3−, Sb3+, and Sb5+ substitutions into GaN explains the totality of experimental measurements. Our results demonstrate that the selective incorporation of Sb into GaN (and potentially other group-V elements such as As, P, or Bi) by tuning the growth conditions can drastically modify the electronic properties, for applications in visible light emitters and photocatalysis.

Free-space confocal magneto-optical spectroscopies at milliKelvin temperatures

We describe the operation of a free-space confocal optical microscope operated in a dilution refrigerator. The microscope is installed on a cold insertable probe to enable fast sample exchange while the refrigerator is held at low temperatures. A vector magnet provides a 6 T field normal to the sample and 1 T fields at arbitrary angles. A variety of optical microscopies and spectroscopies, including photoluminescence, Raman, magneto-optical Kerr effect, and spin relaxometry measurements are described, and some of the challenges associated with performing these measurements at milliKelvin temperatures are explored.

Choline Chloride-Based Water-in-Salt Electrolyte for Efficient Iron Electrodeposition

Electrochemical production of iron is a promising low-cost and modular approach to replace the traditional blast furnace. Aqueous electrolytes for iron electrolysis are advantageous as they can be operated at near-ambient temperatures, but they suffer from inefficiencies due to the parasitic hydrogen evolution reaction. In this work, we identify a new water-in-salt electrolyte (WiSE) based on choline chloride (ChCl) for high coulombic efficiency (>85%) iron deposition. Electrochemical analysis of the partial current densities of iron plating and hydrogen co-evolution revealed that, at optimal WiSE compositions, water reduction is kinetically suppressed resulting in an increase in the Fe plating efficiency. Decreased coordination of water and increased coordination of choline’s alcohol group with the Fe 2+ ion were observed through 1 H NMR providing evidence that water reduction is kinetically suppressed in WiSE. Additionally, Raman spectroscopy revealed that complexation effects (with Cl – ) reduce Fe 2+ diffusion coefficients and corresponding limiting currents as the ChCl concentration is increased. This results in an optimal WiSE composition (4 M ChCl + 1 M FeCl 2 ) that provides kinetic suppression of HER but also low transport resistance to Fe plating yielding 85% coulombic efficiency at high current densities.

The Sun among stars. IV - Albedos of Uranus and Neptune and the solar color

Geometric albedos in 48 adjacent 50 A bands from 3250 to 5600 A have been derived from observations of Uranus and Neptune. The solar analog found in earlier papers (Hardorp 1978, 1980) was chosen for these reductions, so these albedos are more reliable systematically than earlier ones and allow a choice among the scattering models of Savage et al. (1980). Green methane bands are stronger on Neptune. Strong solar absorption lines are found to be partially filled in by Raman-scattering. Neglect of this effect caused Croft et al. (1972) to find a solar color that is too blue. It probably also affected the classification of G-type stars in the Michigan Spectral Catalogue as well as Garrison's (1979) interpretation of IUE observations.

Electrochemical patterning of amorphous carbon on diamond

The ability to pattern ion-implantation damaged or other nondiamond carbon on a diamond substrate is useful for fabricating a variety of devices. We accomplished such patterning by an unmasked implantation into a diamond substrate followed by photolithography and a selective electrochemical etch. The use of a high resistivity medium coupled with applied biases over 50 V permitted etching without requiring contact between the substrate and an electrode. Many electrolytes gave etches that exhibit high selectivity for nondiamond carbon over both diamond and dielectrics such as photoresist. Optical, electrical, and Raman spectroscopic measurements elucidate the effects of the etch on the implanted diamond surface.
