A simple polyol synthesis of silver metal nanopowder of uniform particles

Silver metal has been synthesized in form of a finely divided loose nanopowder, 10–30 nm particle sizes, using a simple polyol process. In hot water, polymer molecules of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) induce Ag⁺ → Ag reaction as a weak reducer (suitable to control the final particle size), forming a nanofluid of Ag nanoparticles in situ dispersing in part of PVA molecules. Ag nanoparticles do not aggregate much when casting a viscous Ag–PVA nanofluid (hot) onto a substrate in thin laminates or films. Freestanding Ag–PVA films could be obtained of 1–5 mm thickness after drying at room temperature. Dried sample can be easily peeled from a silicate glass substrate. As small as 5–10 mm Ag–PVA pieces were heated in air in order to recollect Ag nanoparticles by burning off the polymer. At 300–400 °C, Ag–PVA disintegrates and encounters combustion in air, resulting in a pure Ag-powder. As analyzed by X-ray diffraction, a single crystalline phase of an Fm3m cubic crystal structure formed. Lattice parameter a = 0.4071 nm and density ρ = 10.61 g/cm³ compare well the bulk values a = 0.4086 nm and ρ = 10.50 g/cm³.     

Sensitometric characteristics of an all‐solid‐state photoelectrochromic pixel for an electrochromic light‐addressable display

Abstract— An all solid‐state photoelectrochromic element (PECE) was developed on the basis of electrochromic layers of WO₃ and polyaniline with a layer of polymer electrolyte placed on a base of polyamidosulfoacid, in which a thin‐film CdS_xSe_1?x photoresistor was used as an electronic key. The dependence of the sensitometric characteristics of the PECE on the applied voltage was studied.     

InxGa1−xAs ohmic contacts to n-type GaAs with a tungsten nitride barrier

Significant reduction of the contact resistance of In_0.7Ga_0.3As/Ni/W contacts (which were previously developed by sputtering in our laboratory) was achieved by depositing a W₂N barrier layer between the Ni layer and W layer. The In_0.7Ga_0.3 As/Ni/W₂N/W contact prepared by the radio-frequency sputtering technique showed the lowest contact resistance of 0.2 Ωmm after annealing at 550°C for 10 s. This contact also provided a smooth surface, good reproducibility, and excellent thermal stability at 400°C. The polycrystalline W₂N layer was found to suppress the In diffusion to the contact surface, leading to improvement of the surface morphology and an increase in the total area of the In_xGa−As between metal and the GaAs substrate. These improvements are believed to reduce the contact resistance.     

Reaction between the tetragonal tungsten bronze niobate K2Sr4Nb10O30 and the perovskite Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3

The search for dielectric materials with a high dielectric constant and ′_r = ƒ(T) curves with a flat profile fitting the X7R specification is still ongoing. Promising results were obtained by mixing compounds with closely related structures, such as the tetragonal tungsten bronze (TTB) niobate K₂Sr₄Nb₁₀O₃₀ and the perovskite Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃ (PMN). The present study, based on three methods of synthesis, explores the origin of the spreading out of the dielectric curves ′_r = ƒ(T). For the composition 10x K_0.2Sr_0.4NbO₃ (KSN) + (1 − x)Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃ (PMN) with x = 0.3–0.6, the three synthesis methods provided similar characteristics and for the highest perovskite ratio (x = 0.3), the ′_r = ƒ(T) curve exhibits a flat profile. When lithium is used as a sintering agent, ′_r = ƒ(T) curves present a linear dependency with the temperature. These materials are also characterized by a structural and a microstructural inhomogeneity. Two phases TTB and perovskite type, different from KSN and PMN, are present after calcination and sintering, but not evenly distributed. The PbO loss during sintering also contributes to the evolution of the properties of the material.
