Influence of B2O3 on Spectroscopic Properties of Er^3＋/Yb^3＋ Co-Doped Tungsten-Tellurite Glasses

A series of novel Er^3＋/Yb^3＋ co-doped （85- x ） TeO2-15WO3-xB2O3 （TWB;x=2%,5%,8%（mole fraction） ） glasses were prepared. Influence of B203 on the spectroscopic properties of Er^3＋/Yb^3＋ co-doped tungsten-tellurite glasses were investigated. It is found that the intensity of 1.5μm fluorescence, lifetime of the ^4I13/2 level and upconversion fluorescence all decrease with the increase of B2O3 content. The product of full width at half maximum （FWHM） and stimulated emission cross-section （σe^peak） of Er^3＋ ：^4I13/2→^4I15/2 transition has an optimum when B203 is 5% （mole fraction）. The emission spectra of Er^3＋ ： ^4I13/2→^4I15/2 transition was analyzed using peak-fit routine, and an equivalent four-level system was proposed to estimate the stark splitting for the 411512 and ^4I13/2 levels of Er^3＋ ions in TWB glasses at room temperature.     

Effect of Fe2O3 Loading Amount on Catalytic Properties of Monolithic Fe2O3/Ce0.67Zr0.33O2 -Al2O3 Catalyst for Methane Combustion

Ce0.67Zr0.33O2-Al2O3 solid solution was prepared by the co-precipitation method. Fe2O3-based catalysts supported on the solid solution were obtained by the impregnation method. The article revealed that the optimal loading amount of Fe2O3 on Ce0.67Zr0.33 O2-Al2O3 in our experimental condition for catalytic combustion of methane was 8% （ mass fraction）. The prepared catalysts were characterized by BET, TPR, XRD analyses, and their catalytic activity was investigated after being calcined at 873 K and after being aged in water gas at 1273 K. When the loading amount of Fe203 was 8% （ mass fraction）, the catalyst held the highest activity, and the best temperature speciality and thermal stability. The complete-conversion temperature of methane for fresh and aged sample was 788 and 838 K, respectively. The range between the light-off temperature and the complete-conversion temperature was only 15 K. The characterization results of XRD indicated that Fe2O3 was well dispersed on the Ce0.67Zr0.33O2-Al2O3 matrix. The results of BET and TPR were in good harmony with the catalytic activity results.     

CaO--TiO2--Fe2O3三元系中Ca3TiFe2O8的生成机理

钒钛磁铁矿是烧结矿重要的原料之一,Ca₃TiFe₂O₈作为钒钛烧结矿中矿物被发现之后,其生成机理尚不明确.本文采用X射线衍射分析、元素能谱分析和TG-DSC分析相结合的方法,研究了Ca₃TiFe₂O₈的生成机理以及不同温度、CaO与TiO₂含量下Ca₃TiFe₂O₈的生成规律.实验结果表明,Ca₃TiFe₂O₈由Ca₂ Fe₂O₅和CaTiO₃反应生成,即CaO和Fe₂O₃反应生成Ca₂ Fe₂O₅;其后,与CaTiO₃反应生成Ca₃TiFe₂O₈.反应时间越长,Ca₃TiFe₂O₈的生成量越大,但反应温度对Ca₃TiFe₂O₈生成的影响并不明显.另外,还发现CaO含量越高,Ca₃TiFe₂O₈越易于生成,而且等摩尔Fe₂O₃和CaO下只要存在TiO₂,就会有Ca₃TiFe₂O₈生成.      

Citric Gel Synthesis and Luminescent Properties of Ce^3＋-Activated SrGa2O4 Phosphor

Ce^3＋-activated SrGa2O4 phosphor was synthesized by a method of citric gel,wherein citric acid served as a chelate agent,and the as-synthesized powder was calcined in a slightly reduced ambient.The crystallization characteristics of the sample varied with the calcining temperature.Compared with the phosphor prepared by the solid-state reaction,the phosphor synthesized by citric gel was calcined at a relatively lower temperature.Consequently,the volatilization of Ga2O3 during high-temperature calcining process was avoided.The typical double-peak emission of Ce^3＋ originated from 2D（5d）→4F5/2（4f）,and 2D（5d）→4F7/2（4f）was observed,and the intrinsic emission of SrGa2O4 host was much restricted.The emission intensity varied with the calcining temperature because the different crystallinity and the optimal concentration of Ce-dopant was determined at 3%.     

Luminescence Properties of Sm^3＋ doped Bi2ZnB2O7

The phosphors of （Bi1- x Smx ） 2ZnB2O7 （ x = 0. 01, 0. 03, 0. 05, 0. 07, and 0. 09） were synthesized by conventional solid state reaction. The purity of all samples was checked by X-ray powder diffraction （XRD）. XRD analysis shows that all these compounds are of a single phase of Bi2ZnB2O7, indicating that the Bi^3＋ in Bi2ZnB2O7 can be partly replaced by the Sm^3＋ without the change of crystal structure. The excitation and emission spectra at room temperature show the typical 4f-4f transitions of Sm^3＋ . The dominant excitation line is around 404 nm due to ^6H5/2→^4K11/2 and the emission spectrum consists of a series of lines at 563, 599, 646, and 704 nm due to ^4G5/2→^6H5/2, ^6H7/2, ^6H9/2, and ^6H11/2, respectively. The optimal concentration of Sm^3＋ in Bi2ZnB2O7 is about 3mol% （relative to lmol Bi^3＋ ） and the critical distance Rc was calculated as 2.1 nm. The temperature dependence of the emission intensity of Bi1.94Sm0.06ZnB2O7 was examined in the temperature range between 100 and 450 K. The quenching temperature where the intensity has dropped to half of the initial intensity is 280 K. The lifetime for Sm^3＋ in Bi1.94Sm0.06ZnB2O7 is fitted as a value of 0.29 and 1.03 ms.     

Research on Y2O3：Eu Phosphor Coated with In2O3

Y2O3：Eu red phosphor for FED application was prepared by high temperature solid-state reaction. The In2O3 coating by precipitation method to the phosphor was applied and the analyses of XRD, Zeta potential, SEM, EDS and low voltage cathodoluminescence （CL） were conducted for investigating the coating effect. The results showed that In2O3 coating promoted the low voltage CL of the phosphor efficiently. The promotion was possibly due to the enhancement of the surface conductivity of the phosphor grains.

氧化物添加对BaO-TiO2-Al2O3-SiO2玻璃陶瓷介电性能的影响

采用烧结法制备工艺,成功制备了BaO-TiO₂-Al₂O₃-SiO₂玻璃陶瓷,以钛酸钡体系玻璃陶瓷为基础成分添加不同种类氧化物(Y2O3,Ni2O3,ZrO2),并采用X射线衍射(XRD),场发射扫描电镜(FESEM),精密阻抗分析仪测试仪(LCR)对添加不同氧化物玻璃陶瓷样品的析出相成分、微观结构和介电性能进行表征,研究了氧化物添加对BaO-TiO₂-Al₂O₃-SiO₂玻璃陶瓷性能的影响。研究结果表明:添加不同的氧化物并未改变BaO-TiO₂-Al₂O₃-SiO₂玻璃陶瓷的析出相种类,但能够促进基体中钙钛矿结构钛酸钡结晶相的生成。同时添加不同氧化物后样品的致密度均随烧结温度的升高呈现先增大后减小的变化趋势,在最适烧结温度下,氧化物的添加提高了不同烧结玻璃陶瓷样品的致密度,并优化了样品的介电性能。通过添加不同种类氧化物获得了同时具有高致密度和良好介电性能的玻璃陶瓷成分,当添加0.5%(质量分数)Ni₂O₃时,样品在最佳烧结温度1230°C下烧结获得最大致密度为98.6%,提高了1.65%,样品室温下的介电常数高达1100,提高了139.5%。     

Synthesis and Study on Physical Properties for Magnetic Superconductor RESr2RuCu2O8（RE = Gd and Eu）

Single-phase magnetic superconductors RESrzRuCuzOs(RE = C,d and Eu) were successfully synthesized and investigations on their physical properties were carried out. It is found that the structure of the compounds is similar to that of YBa2Cu307 and its superconductivity coexists with weak ferromagnetic order in both compounds. The compounds exhibit magnetic order below TM = 130 and 136 K and superconducting below TC^onset = 35 and 46 K, respectively, for RE = Eu and Gd samples. There is slight difference in the magnetic properties between RE = Euand C,d compounds owing to various magnetic moments for C,d3 and Eu3 .     

Photocatalytic activity of cerium-doped mesoporous TiO2 coated Fe3O4 magnetic composite under UV and visible light

A novel kind of magnetically separable photocatalyst of cerrium-doped mesoporous titanium dioxide coated magnetite (Ce/MTiO2/ Fe3O4) was prepared and its activities under UV and visible light were reported. The catalysts with Ce/MTiO2 shell and Fe3O4 core were pre-pared by coating photoactive Ce/MTiO2 onto a magnetic Fe3O4 core through the hydrolysis of tetrabutyltitanate (Ti(OBu)4, TBT) with pre-cursors of ammonium ceric nitrate and TBT in the presence of Fe3O4 particles. The MTiO2 shell was for photocatalysis, the Fe3O4 core was for separation by the magnetic field and the doped Ce was used to enhance the photocatalytic activity of MTiO2. The morphological, struc-tural and optical properties of the prepared samples were characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. The effect of cerrium-doped content on the photocatalytic activity was studied and the result revealed that 0.5 mol.% Ce/MTiO2/Fe3O4 exhibited highest photoactivity. The photocatalytic activities of obtained photocatalysts under UV and visible light were estimated by measuring the degradation rate of methylene blue (MB, 50 mg/L) in an aqueous solution. The results showed that the prepared photocatalyst was activated by visible light and used as effective catalyst in photooxi-dation reactions. In addition, the possibility of cyclic usage of the prepared photocatalyst was also confirmed. Moreover, Ce/MTiO2 was tightly bound to Fe3O4 and could be easily recovered from the medium by an external magnetic filed. So, the photocatalyst can be reused without any mass loss. It can therefore be potentially applied for the treatment of water contaminated by organic pollutants.     

Structural and superconducting properties in Y0.6Gd0.4Ba2（Nb）Cu3O7-y cuprates doped with niobium

Polycrystalline YBa2Cu3O7-y (YBCO) and Y0.6Gd0.4Ba2-xNbxCu3O7-y (YGBNCO) compounds with 0≤x≤0.225 were synthesized using standard solid state reaction technique. The structure for all samples was characterized by X-ray difference (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The transport properties were measured by the (FPP) method in the temperature range from 70 to 130 K. As the Nb content in the samples increased, a diffused phase indicating a niobium perovskite phase and a small amount of unidentified phase appeared. With the increase of Nb content, the superconducting transition temperature Tconset increased slowly with x≤0.125, and then it remained unchanged or slowly decreased with 0.125≤x≤0.225. It could be found that there was a slow decrease of zero-resistance temperature, Tcoffset, with the increase of Nb content. The larger transition width might result from the YBa2NbO6 phase, impurity and unidentified phases of the sample due to the Nb doping.     

Removal of Cooking Fume by Catalytic Combustion on Pt/La-Al2O3 ＋ Ce0.5 Zr0.5O2 Catalyst

Four monolithic catalysts with low concentration of noble metal were prepared by the immersion method [ Pt/La- Al2O3, Pt/La-Al2O3 ＋ Pt/OSM （2 ： 1 ）, Pt/La-Al2O3 ＋ Pt/OSM （ 1 ： 1 ） Pt/La-Al2O3 ＋ Pt/OSM （ 1 ： 2） ], and measurements of their activity were carded out in a conventional fixed-bed flow reactor. The results show that the oxygen storage material （OSM） that is added can promote the activity of the prepared catalysts and can decrease the complete conversion temperature of cooking fume. When the ratio between La-Al2O3 and OSM is 1 ： 1, the catalyst has the highest activity, and the complete conversion temperature of cooking fume is 270℃ ; the catalyst thus prepared can be applied in a wide range of gas hourly space velocity （GHSV） [from 10000 to 60000 h^-1]. The catalyst obtained shows great potential for practical application.     

Sintering effect on ageing behavior of rare earths （Pr6O11-Er2O3-Y2O3 ）-doped ZnO varistor ceramics

The electrical properties and ageing behavior of the rare earths (Pr6O11-Er2O3-Y2O3)-doped ZnO varistor ceramics were systematically investigated at sintering temperature range of 1335-1350°C. With an increase in the sintering temperature, the sintered density increased from 5.41 to 5.64g/cm3 and the average grain size increased from 5.8 to 7.9μm. The varistor properties and ageing behavior were significantly affected by small sintering temperature range of 1335-1350°C. The breakdown field noticeably decreased from 5767 to 3628V/cm with an increase in the sintering temperature. The varistor ceramics exhibited the highest nonlinear coefficient (43.2) at the sintering temperature of 1340°C. The varistor ceramics sintered at 1350°C exhibited a surprisingly excellent stability by exhibiting 0.3% in the variation rate of the breakdown field and 0.3% in the variation rate of the nonlinear coefficient for ageing stress of 0.95 E1mA/150°C/24 h.     

A blue luminescence glass-ceramics of Eu^2＋ ions activated Li2O-BaO-B2O3

New blue luminescence glass-ceramic samples were prepared in air by annealing of the Eu^3＋-doped Li2O-BaO-B2O3 glass. The as-made glass samples only showed the sharp emission peaks assigned to the transitions of 5^D0-7^Fj （J=0, 1, 2, 3, 4） of Eu^3＋ ions. The glass-ceramic samples gave a strong and broad emission band peaking at about 382 nm ascribed to the 5d-4f transition of Eu^2＋ ions. The optical properties such as excitation and emission spectra, and the decay time of the Eu^2＋ ions were investigated in the glasses or the glass-ceramics samples. The X-ray diffraction pattern showed that LiBan9O15 might be demonstrated to be the crystallites in the glass-ceramic, which contributed to the blue luminescence. SEM micrograph was investigated on the glass-ceramic samples obtained by crystallization of the glass matrix resulting in a mixture of poly-crystals.     

Study on thermal expansion behavior of Dy2O3 - Al2O3 - SiO2 glass

Employing Dy2O3, Al2O3, and SiO2 as starting materials, several series of Dy2O3-Al2O3-SiO2 sealing glass were prepared. The relationship between their coefficients of thermal expansion and the contents of Dy2O3, Al2O3, and SiO2 were studied respectively. Experimental results showed that Dy2O3 and Al2O3 had a positive effect on the coefficient of thermal expansion of glass, whereas, SiO2 had a negative effect. The coefficient of thermal expansion of glass showed an apparent linear relation to the contents of these three raw materials, from which an estimation model was built, to calculate the coefficient of thermal expansion of sealing glass. Relative errors of the calculating results to testing results were no more than 2%, which suggested that the estimation model was reasonable. This study provides a good theory reference for the practical utilizing of this sealing material, through which a proper glass composition for good sealing could be easily found.     

Electrical Transport and Giant Magnetoresistance in （ 1 - x ） La0.67 Ca0.33 MnO3/x CuO Composites

Samples with nominal composition of （1 - x）La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 （LCMO）/xCuO （x = 0%, 2%, 4% and 20% ） were made using a special experimental method. The temperature dependence of the resistivity （ρ） of the composites was investigated in the temperature range of 10 - 300 K and different magnetic fields of H = 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0 and 3.0 T. The results showed that CuO percentage x had important effects on metal-insulator transition temperature （Tp）, zero field peak resistivity （ρmax）, and magnetoresistance （MR） properties of the composites. Tp shifted sharply towards low temperature with the increase of x in the range of x ≤4%, but was almost independent of x at high level of CuO content. Composites with x = 4 % and 20 % exhibited similar electrical transmission behavior. Compared with pure LCMO, enhanced magnetoresistance could be clearly observed even in a quite low magnetic field of 0.3 T. For x =4% and 20% samples, the MR value at 0.3 T could reach as high as - 88% and - 90%, respectively. XRD and SEM analysis showed that the substantial enhancement of MR, especially near Tp, was because of local spin disorder between contiguous LCMO ferromagnetic particles caused by the addition of CuO.
