Photostriction of CH3NH3PbBr3 Perovskite Crystals

Organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite materials exhibit a variety of physical properties. Pronounced coupling between phonon, organic cations, and the inorganic framework suggest that these materials exhibit strong light–matter interactions. The photoinduced strain of CH₃NH₃PbBr₃ is investigated using high‐resolution and contactless in situ Raman spectroscopy. Under illumination, the material exhibits large blue shifts in its Raman spectra that indicate significant structural deformations (i.e., photostriction). From these shifts, the photostrictive coefficient of CH₃NH₃PbBr₃ is calculated as 2.08 × 10^?8 m² W^?1 at room temperature under visible light illumination. The significant photostriction of CH₃NH₃PbBr₃ is attributed to a combination of the photovoltaic effect and translational symmetry loss of the molecular configuration via strong translation–rotation coupling. Unlike CH₃NH₃PbI₃, it is noted that the photostriction of CH₃NH₃PbBr₃ is extremely stable, demonstrating no signs of optical decay for at least 30 d. These results suggest the potential of CH₃NH₃PbBr₃ for applications in next‐generation optical micro‐electromechanical devices.

Crystal structure of Tl3AsSe3

The structure of Tl₃AsSe₃, which has been solved by the single-crystal x-ray method, is rhombohedral, with space group R3m and cell parameters $\text{a}\text{= 9.870(2)}\text{A}\text{?}\text{, c}\text{= 7.094(3)}\text{A}\text{?}\text{, z}\text{= 3}$. A full-matrix least-squares refinement gives weighted R = 0.058. The Se atoms form equilateral triangles around Tl at 3.178Å and around As at 2.207Å. The structure may be described in terms of units formed from three TlSe₃ triangles by corner-sharing. These units share corners to produce a helical arrangement along the c axis. The triangles of AsSe₃ are isolated from each other.

Multicolor up-conversion emissions of Tm3+/Er3+/Yb3+ tri-doped YF3 phosphors

Tm3+/Er3+/Yb3+ tri-doped yttrium fluoride (YF3) phosphors were prepared by a facile hydrothermal method. X-ray topographic analysis found that the phosphors were crystallized products. Their sizes and morphologies were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM, Hitachi S-4800), which indicated that most of the YF3 phosphors were hundreds of nanometers in size. Up-conversion (UC) spectra were recorded under 980-nm diode laser excitation at room temperature with a fluorescence spectrometer (Hitachi F-4500). Plenty of UC emissions of Tm3+ and Er3+ were observed from ultraviolet to red. For Tm3+ ions, a five-photon process (approximately 291 nm and approximately 347 nm), a four-photon process (approximately 362 nm and approximately 452 nm), and a three-photon process (approximately 475 nm) were identified in the UC spectra. The UC emissions from the Er3+ were: approximately 380 nm, approximately 408 nm, approximately 521 nm, approximately 537 nm, and approximately 652 nm. Therefore, cyan-white light can be observed by the naked eye at 980-nm excitation, even under low excitation power density. By comparing the UC spectra of the phosphors annealed at different temperatures, we found that the intensity of the UC luminescence increased as annealing temperature increased. Furthermore, the spectral dependencies on Tm3+ doped concentrations were studied. The energy transfer processes and fluorescence dynamics in the tri-doped system are currently being investigated.

Optically and thermally stimulated luminescence of KMgF3:Ce3 and NaMgF3:Ce3+

The potentialities of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) for personal dosimetry of ionising radiation have stimulated the search for new synthetic materials with good dosimetric properties. The sensitivity of two new OSL materials KMgF3 and NaMgF3 doped with Ce3+ ions has been evaluated and found to be of the same order of magnitude as that of Al2O3:C. Several other characteristics have also been investigated. Promising results for KMgF3:Ce are the high sensitivity and the low fading. However, this material suffers from a high self-dose due to the presence of 40K. NaMgF5:Ce is sensitive as well but shows strong fading. Interesting information on the mechanism has been obtained by correlating the signals of OSL and TL. Furthermore, the different bleachabilities under blue LED illumination of the strongly overlapping glow peaks allowed the extraction of one single peak for KMgF3:Ce3+. The results demonstrate new possibilities offered by the combination of TL and OSL.     

Effective electroelastic moduli of 3-3(0-3) piezocomposites

In a high volume fraction particle-loaded piezocomposite, some ferroelectric particles appear to be in contact, as in a 3-3 connectivity material; others are isolated in the polymer matrix, as in a pure 0-3 connectivity material. Such a material can be considered as a composite of composites characterized by a 3-3(0-3) connectivity. This paper follows two others that have described a matrix method to calculate all of the effective parameters of pure 0-3 and 3-3 connectivity piezocomposites. These previous models are used to obtain the effective properties of a 3-3(0-3) composite. A proportion of 0-3 connectivity in the composite is introduced, and the effective properties are studied as a function of this proportion. Experimental results compared with these predictions show that the model allows an evaluation of the proportion of 0-3 connectivity through the analysis of the electromechanical performance of the composite samples.     

Processing and properties of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbZrO3-PbTiO3 ceramic relaxors

The shrinkage phenomenon during the reaction-sintering of PMN-PZT from low-temperature pre-reacted 3PbO + MgNb₂O₆ + PZT powder mixtures has been studied. It was assumed that the pre-reaction treatment leads to the formation of a pyrochlore phase containing very active MgO small particles, and that the strong shrinkage occurring up to 800 °C took place by the diffusion of Mg²⁺ cations into the pyrochlore phase particles, thus controlling the reaction-sintering shrinkage phenomenon. Above that temperature the densification was enhanced by a liquid-phase sintering process. The ceramics sintered at 1050 °C for 2 h showed 96% of the theoretical density, and the dielectric constant of such a sintered ceramic showed a maximum value of 17 000 at 1 kHz. It was also found that the dielectric constant decreased with increasing grain size. Although the role of PZT in enhancing the dielectric constant of otherwise low-purity PMN ceramics is not clear, the increase in K is assumed to be a solid-solution effect. The presence of impurities and the PbO stoichiometry could be influencing the not too high dielectric constant value of PMN-PZT ceramics.     

Sintering and piezoelectric properties of Pb(Ni1/3Sb2/3)O3-PbZrO3-PbTiO3 ceramics

The sintering and piezoelectric properties of Pb(Ni_1/3Sb_2/3)O₃-PbZrO₃-PbTiO₃ ceramics have been investigated. When the powders contain 48 mol% PbTiO₃ and less than 10 mol% Pb(Ni_1/3Sb_2/3)O₃ followed by calcination at 850°C for 2 h, the calcine only contains the perovskite structure; but if the Pb(Ni_1/3Sb_2/3)O₃ content is between 12 mol% and 14 mol%, both tetragonal and rhombohedral phases are obtained. The composition of the morphotropic phase boundary(MPB) in the Pb(Ni_1/3Sb_2/3)O₃-PbZrO₃-PbTiO₃ system is Pb(Ni_1/3Sb_2/3)O₃ = 12 mol%, PbZrO₃ = 40 mol% and PbTiO₃ = 48 mol%. As the composition at the MPB is sintered at 1260°C and 1280°C for 2 h, respectively, the maximum density (7.8 g/cm³) is obtained. The SEM micrographs indicate that a decrease in porosity with increasing sintering temperature is attained at 1280°C, which is due to a decrease in the number and size of pores. When the sintering temperature is higher than 1280°C, the porosity increases due to PbO evaporation leading to an increase of the number of pore sites and in enlargement of the pore diameter. When the compact composition at MPB is sintered at 1280°C for 2 h, the planar coupling coefficient (K _p) and mechanical quality coefficient (Q _m) tend to approach the maximum (0.488) and minimum values (292.5), respectively.
