Thermochemistry of Ternary Complex Dy(Et_2dtc)_3(phen)

The ternary solid complex was synthesized with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (NaEt2dtc), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and low hydrated dysprosium chloride in absolute ethanol by improved method of reference. The title complex was identified as the general formula of Dy(Et2dtc)3(phen) by chemical and elemental analyses. IR spectrum of the complex shows that the Dy3 coordinated with six sulfur atoms of three NaEt2dtc and two nitrogen atoms of phen. It is assumed that the coordination number of Dy3 is eight.The enthalpy change of liquid-phase reaction of formation, ΔrHθm(l), is determined as (-19.091±0.015) kJ·mol-1 at 298.15 K by a microcalorimeter, and the enthalpy change of the solid-phase reaction of formation, ΔrHθm(s), is calculated as (139.641±0.482) kJ·mol-1 on the basis of a thermochemical cycle. The thermodynamic of reaction of formation was studied by changing the temperature of liquid-phase reaction. The constant-volume combustion energy of the complex, ΔcU, is determined as (-16730.21±9.25) kJ·mol-1 by a precise rotating-bomb calorimeter at 298.15 K. Its standard enthalpies of combustion, ΔcHθm, and standard enthalpies of formation, ΔfHθm, are calculated as (-16749.42±9.25) kJ·mol-1 and (-2019.68±10.19) kJ·mol-1, respectively.     

Preparation and Structure of Mg2-xRExNi （RE = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Y） Ternary Alloys

A series of Mg2-xNdxNi (x =0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) alloys and Mg1.95RE0.05Ni (RE= La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Y)ternary alloys were prepared by ball milling of mixted powder of Mg, Ni, RE and sintering under the protection of argon. XRD analysis shows that Mg2-xNdxNi (x = 0.05, 0.1 ) and Mg1.95RE0.05Ni consist of single phase with the same crystal structure as Mg2Ni. While three-phase alloys including Mg2Ni, NdNi and NdMgNi4 were formed in Mg1.8Nd0.2Ni and Mg1.7Nd0.3Ni alloys respectively. The lattice constants of Mg2Ni in those ternary alloys were calculated. The decomposition of Mg2Ni occurs in the milling process of Mg2Ni and Mg1.95RE0.05Ni alloys respectively. For the latter, another earlier reaction occurs in milling process, which means that atoms of RE are separated from crystal structure of Mg2Ni and form relevant oxides by combination with oxygen existed in argon atmosphere.

Structural and optoelectronic properties of CsLnZnTe3(Ln=La,Pr,Nd and Sm)

Zinc telluride is a versatile wide band gap semiconductor used in many applications.But it has certain limitations like large dimensions and large band gaps.Introducing alkali metal to its bulk lattice(3D) can reduce its dimensions and lanthanide can produce a red shift in the energy gap by converting it into quaternary compounds.The alkali and lanthanide incorporated quaternary zinc tellurides CsLnZnTe₃(Ln =La,Pr,Nd and Sm) form layered crystal structure in which_∞²

Magnetic and XPS studies of lithium lanthanide tetraphosphates LiLnP4O12 （Ln=Nd, Gd, Er）

Magnetic susceptibilities of flux-grown single crystals of LiLnP4O12 (Ln=Nd,Gd, Er) were measured in the temperature range of 2-300 K. The compounds were paramagnetic, and obeyed the Curie-Weiss law in the entire temperature interval, without magnetic phase transitions, and with effective magnetic moments close to those of the corresponding free Ln3+ ions. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was applied to determine the positions of core-level electrons relative to the Fermi level: Li 1s; Ln 4f, 5p, 5s, 4d, 3d; P 2s, 2p; O 1s, 2s. The binding energies in these compounds were found slightly shifted compared to the respective values of the same elements.     

Synthesis and photoluminescence studies of Ba(Gd,Ln)B9O16:Eu3+(Ln=La,Y) phosphors for n-UV LED lighting and display devices

BaGdB9O16:Eu3+ and Ba(Gd,Ln)B9O16:Eu3+(Ln=La, Y) phosphors were synthesized by solid state diffusion method. The X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and photoluminescence properties were investigated. The as-synthesized BaGdB9O16:Eu3+ and Ba(Gd,Ln)B9O16:Eu3+(Ln=La, Y) phosphors showed strong red emission under ultraviolet light excitation. By partially substituting Gd3+ by La3+ and Y3+ ions in the host BaGdB9O16:Eu3+ materials, the maximum emission intensity was observed for the optimum composition of BaGd0.91La0.8B9O16Eu0.01 phosphor. The experimental results indicated that the Eu doped BaGdB9O16 and Ba(Gd,Ln)B9O16(Ln=La, Y) phosphors were promising red phosphors, which might find potential applications in near-UV excited LED lighting as well as display devices. Comparison of as-synthesized phosphors with standard phosphor used in CFL(compact fluorescent lamp) was also done. Energy transfer mechanism of Gd3+ to Eu3+ was also discussed in this paper.
