Illuminating the Photophysics of Oxygen Atom Transfer in Rare Earth Metal-Organic Complexes

Industrial separations of rare earth metals are reliant on selectivity based on ionic radii, which are time, energy, and resource consuming.1 The unique and discontinuous manifold of energy states associated with the f-electron configurations of the rare earth ions2 offer an opportunity to overcome some of these limitations by incorporating light into the separation process. Here, we use transient absorption spectroscopy to understand the differences in mechanism of light-initiated oxygen atom transfer (OAT) in yttrium (Y) and dysprosium (Dy) rare earth complexes. These metal-organic complexes are functionalized with hexfluoroacetyl-acetonate (hfac) and 4-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO). After light absorption in the presence of triphenyl phosphine (TPP), the NMMO in the Y-NMMO complex is replaced by the TPPO OAT reaction product. Because the Dy f-electron manifold is accessible to the ligand excited states, while there are no accessible states associated with f-electrons for Y, there are significant differences in reactivity. Transient absorption spectroscopy (TAS) was used to monitor changes after 340 nm photoexcitation of Dy/Y-NMMO or the product complex Dy/Y-TPPO. TAS is a pump-probe technique where a white light probe pulse is delayed relative to a visible pump pulse, which photoexcites a sample. Differences between the ground and excited states are monitored over time. With TAS, we access time scales from 100 fs-400 us to determine the photophysics of the complexes of interest. Photoexcitation of Y-NMMO (Fig. 1A) creates a broad photoinduced absorption (PIA) that evolves into a sharp positive feature over 4.2 ps centered at 450 nm. A secondary feature centered at 550 nm grows in with a 200 ps time constant and remains through the 5 ns time window of our experiment. Control experiments for Y-TPPO reveal that the feature at 450 nm is due to internal dynamics of the hfac ligand, while the 550 nm shoulder is due to the presence of the NMMO. Comparing kinetics at 550 nm for Y-NMMO and Dy-NMMO (Fig. 1B) shows that while Y exhibits a distinct growth in the NMMO feature, the Dy decays almost completely within 5 ns. Control experiments with Dy-TPPO prove that the ligand excited states centered on the hfac ligand are deactivated via energy transfer to the Dy manifold within 200 ps. This deactivation leads to significant differences in OAT reactivity between Y and Dy.

Defect Energetics in Pseudo-Cubic Mixed Halide Lead Perovskites from First-Principles

Owing to the increasing popularity of lead-based hybrid perovskites for photovoltaic (PV) applications, it is crucial to understand their defect energetics and its influence on their optoelectronic properties. In this work, we simulate various point defects in pseudocubic structures of mixed iodide-bromide and bromide-chloride methylammonium lead perovskites with the general formula MAPbI 3-y Br y or MAPbBr 3-y Cl y (where y is between 0 and 3), and use first-principles based density functional theory computations to study their relative formation energies and charge transition levels. We identify vacancy defects and Pb on MA antisite defect as the lowest energy native defects in each perovskite. Here, we observe that while the low energy defects in all MAPbI 3-y Br y systems only create shallow transition levels, the Br or Cl vacancy defects in the Cl-containing pervoskites have low energy and form deep levels which become deeper for higher Cl content. We examine the structures and density of states of pure and defect-containing perovskite systems to obtain an understanding of the nature of defect levels. Further, we study extrinsic substitution by different elements at the Pb site in MAPbBr 3 , MAPbCl 3 , and the 50-50 mixed halide perovskite, MAPbBr 1.5 Cl 1.5 , and identify some transition metals that create lower energy defects than the dominant intrinsic defects and also create midgap charge transition levels.

Plasma heating and current sheet structure in anti-parallel magnetic reconnection

A theoretical model and an analytic theory of current sheet structure are presented for understanding anti-parallel driven magnetic reconnection in 2-1/2 dimension in collisionless plasmas. The theoretical model provides formulation to compute the current sheet y-profiles by specifying the profiles of electron and ion flow velocities V ex (x,y) and V ix (x,y). The current sheet solutions depend on the plasma density n in , merging magnetic field B 0 , ion velocity v i , and electron velocity ve in the upstream and the S evz =V ez /V dz parameter where V ez is the electron velocity accelerated by the reconnection electric field E z in the electron orbit meandering region, V dz ≃cE y /B x is the $\overrightarrow{E}$ × $\overrightarrow{B}$ drift velocity as electrons enter the orbit meandering region, B x is the merging magnetic field, and E y is the electrostatic electric field. With simplifying assumptions on the y-profiles of V ex and V ix , we have also developed an analytic theory of the current sheet structure. Analytic expressions for the anomalous resistivity, the electrostatic potential drop, and the maximum E y amplitude E max are obtained. The analytic results agree reasonably well with both the particle-in-cell simulation results and the numerical solutions of the theoretical model. The ions energy gain due to the potential drop is $∝B^2_0/n_{in}$. The electron energy gain is $∝(B^2_0 /8πn_{in})S_{evz}$. The $B^2_0/n_{in}$ scaling of the average ion and electron energy gains are consistent with laboratory experiments and space plasma observations.
