Spectral characterization of AlN and Y2O3 nanopowders pure and doped with metal atoms

Luminescence and excitation spectra of the mentioned materials will be studied in the temperature region of 8 – 300 K. Composite nanopowders and their luminescence and excitation spectra will be studied.

Spectral characterization of AlN and hBN nanopowders (NP) with average grain size ~60 nm has been done, based on studies of photoluminescence (PL) and its excitation (PLE) spectra covering a wide spectral range of UV/visible light at various fixed temperatures within 8 – 300 K. The following main results were obtained.

1. It was found that for both hBN and AlN NP a blue luminescence (BL) is characteristic caused by native defects of material. These luminescent defects can be related to nitrogen vacancy (vN) type formations including so-called F centers, which can be placed within a bulk of the nano-particles as well as on its surface.

2. Mechanisms of the BL in AlN and hBN were revealed consisting of intra-center processes, recombination luminescence and energy transfer from excitons to luminescence centers.

3. It was found that in AlN and hBN powders the BL is sensitive to environmental oxygen and interaction of oxygen with surface defects results in quenching of the BL. Gas sensing properties of the materials such as luminescence response on oxygen concentration and repeatability of the results were studied. The results confirmed that AlN NP and hBN powder are prospective for developing of oxygen gas optical sensors.

4. Luminescence of AlN NP doped with Tb and Mn ions was studied. Impurity caused luminescence at 550 nm and 600 nm, respectively, was observed. Luminescence of composite NP was studied.

The fine-grained (0.44-1.10 µm) materials with definite phase composition and density of 95.8-97.2% were obtained. The low crystallite size of the ZrO2-CeO2 nanoparticles improved their sinterability and allows manufacture dense materials at low temperature (1280-1310 oC) during 3 min and therefore inhibits reduction of CeO2 by graphite and degradation parameters of ZrO2-CeO2.

It was estimated that Al2O3 and Cr2O2 dopants in mullite-Zro2 system prevented growth of bar-like mullite grains and therefore improved mechanical parameters, hardness of materials.

Research on spectroscopic properties of complex oxides

Synthesis and spectroscopic research of rare-earth ions doped complex oxides: nnopowders, films and ceramics

The combustion synthesis method that utilize polyethylene glycol as a chelating agent and as a fuel can be use for preparation of nanoparticles of rare earth hafnate fluorites A2Hf2O7 (A ¼ Y, Gd, Lu). Nanoparticles of different sizes from 6 nm to 300 nm are obtained by varying annealing temperature from 800 oC to 1400 oC. Europium(III) emission has the highest quantum efficiency in nanoparticles prepared at 800 oC with 1 to 2 at.% doping concentration.

The luminescence spectra for SrAl2O4:Eu,Dy excited at 290-90K indicate that the luminescence center and its surrounding are the same. The absence of glow maxima within 70–170K in thermally stimulated luminescence is strong evidence that both – electrons and holes are localized in traps and therefore tunneling process is responsible for the creation of excited Eu2+ luminescence centers.

Synthesis of graphene and modified graphene

Graphene samples are planned to be obtained by dissolution/ precipitation mechanism of carbon on catalyst and to get the composites with the best sorption abilities.

A cheap, simple and effective method is proposed for the large quantity production of the sheets of graphenic carbon materials (GCM) by annealing the mixture of nickel powder with a suitable carbon amount at the temperatures close to 1000ºC. The number of graphene layers in the sheets of GCM can be changed by varying the amount of carbon in the mixture and other parameters of mixture annealing regime and drying regime of ended products. The appearance of GCM on the surface of Ni particles was identified using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) at a low accelerating voltage of 5 kV. The thickness and properties of the layers were investigated by electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The fabrication processes were carried out at the concentrations of added carbon from 0 to 1 at%. The results obtained are fully consistent with the well-known solid phase reactions of carbon dissolution in Ni at 1000°C and graphene or graphite precipitation on the surface with cooling down to the room temperatures.

In determining the specific surface area (SSA) for the GS sample were found that Brunauer, Emmett, Teller method (BET) of approximation of experimental isotherms in pressure ranges 0.025-0.12 give wrong results, because adsorption in these pressure region is affected with walls of ampoule. Real SSA value was found by subtracting pore effect method (SPE) or by BET approximation in low range of relative pressure 0.0004-0.002.

Optical and scanning electron microscopy studies showed that the resulting films were homogeneous with a smooth surface. However some oxide coatings exhibited poor mechanical adhesion on the surface of the glass fiber fabric, which led to the additional surface study of fiber glass fabrics.

The results revealed that α-Fe2O3/TiO2/rGO exhibited a high specific discharge capacity and cyclability. Obtained discharge capacity 790 mAh/g was after 150 cycles at the current density 100 mA/g. The improved electrochemical properties were due to the rGO uniform dispersion in the inter-space of α-Fe2O3 and TiO2 as well as synergic effect between metal oxides and rGO.

Research on formation mechanisms of nanostructures

Research of nanostructure formation in model materials (LiF and MgO crystals) under irradiation with swift ions

The evolution of dislocation structure and modification of micro-mechanical and optical properties of radiation –sensitive (LiF) and radiation - resistant (MgO) ionic crystals irradiated with high doses of heavy and light ions has been studied The results show. that severe irradiation of LiF crystals with light ions (N, C and He) creates strong structural damage and causes hardening approaching that reached by irradiation with high-energy heavy ions (U, Bi, Au,etc.). The peculiarity is the manifestation of the 3He- and 4He-induced effects of damage and hardening also beyond the calculated ion range. The irradiation with secondary products of nuclear reactions of ions with target nuclei and channelling of ions are considered as likely reasons for the beyond-the-range damage. The depth profiles of damage confirm a joint
contribution of electronic excitations and atomic displacements by elastic collisions in the structural damage and hardening of MgO is confirmed.

Laser technology

elaboration for ZnO electrical conductivity control

Laser technology for control and increase of ZnO electrical conductivity will be developed

Laser technology for control and increase of ZnO electrical conductivity has been developed. It was found that the interaction of laser radiation with Zn crystal is characterized by two threshold intensities: the first threshold intensity Ith1 = 3.5 MW/cm2, at which conductivity starts to increase monotonously up to 103 times, till the second threshold intensity Ith2= 290.0 MW/cm2, due to the increase of the Zn interstitials (Zni) concentration at the surface of the ZnO sample. Second stage of the process is “black ZnO” appearance at the irradiated surface. This phenomenon is caused by the agglomeration of Zni in nanoparticles the diameter of which increases with the number of laser pulses. The possibility of formation of metallic Zn nanoparticles with a certain size and density on a ZnO crystal by laser radiation was studied. By increasing the number of laser radiation pulses (dose), nanoparticles were obtained, whose dimensions are directly proportional to the number of pulses. The dependence of the growth of nanoparticle density on the number of pulses was observed.

Synthesis of fluoride nanocrystals containing oxyfluoride glass ceramics

Synthesis of oxyfluoride glass and glass ceramics for perspective light source applications will be performed

New oxyfluoride materials containing CaF2, SrF2 and NaLaF4 nanocrystals heve been synthesized. They are oxyfluoride glass and glass ceramics activated by rare-earth ions, and are prospective as phosphor materials for white LED’s.

With Dy3+/Eu3+ ions double-activated glass and glass-ceramics have been investigated, which contain CaF2 or SrF2 nanocrystallites. An energy transfer from dysprosium ions (Dy3+) to europium ions (Eu3+) has been observed, with an efficiency of 6-68%, by rising of the concentration of the rare-earth ions in the sample. In the glass-ceramics samples with SrF2 nanocrystallites, the energy transfer efficiency is higher as in the glass samples. It could be explained by an embedding of the rare-earth ions in the nanocrystallites. The effective energy transfer from dysprosium to europium ions allow to intensify the luminescence of the europium ions inthe red spectral region, thus improving the spectral shape of the Dy3+/Eu3+ double-activated samples looking from the application prospective in the white LED’s.

Nanowires were grown via atmospheric pressure chemical vapour transport method. Single-nanowire photoresistors were fabricated via in situ nanomanipulations inside SEM, using focused ion beam (FIB) cutting and electron-beam-assisted platinum welding. Their current-voltage characteristics and photoresponse values were measured. Applicability of the tested nanowire materials for colour-sensitive light detection is discussed.

Synthesis and characterization of novel core-shell nanowires.

 

1D/1D heterostructures of ZnO/WS2 core/shell nanowires with a-fewlayers-thick WS2 shell were fabricated in order to improve the optoelectronic properties of pure ZnO nanowires. Aa single-nanowire photoresistive device was assembled by mechanically positioning ZnO/WS2 core/shell nanowires onto gold electrodes inside a scanning electron microscope. The results show that a few layers of WS2 significantly enhance the photosensitivity in the short wavelength range and drastically (almost 2 orders of magnitude) improve the photoresponse time of pure ZnO nanowires. The fast response time of ZnO/WS2 core/shell nanowire was explained by electrons and holes sinking from ZnO nanowire into WS2 shell, which serves as a charge carrier channel in the ZnO/WS2 heterostructure.

Study of mechanical and optoelectronic properties of core-shell nanowires.

 

In this study, we have investigated electron-beam-induced reversible elastic-to-plastic transition in Ag/Al2O3 and Au/Al2O3 NWs prepared by the coating of Ag andAuNWs with Al2O3 by low-temperature atomic layer deposition. The observed phenomenon enabled freezing the bent core–shell NW at any arbitrary curvature below the yield strength of the materials and later restoring its initially straight profile by irradiating the NW with electrons. In addition, it was demonstrated that the coating efficiently protects the core material from fracture and plastic yield, allowing it to withstand significantly higher deformations and stresses in comparison to uncoated NW.
