Three incongruent melting LaNdGdYSc(BO) (LGYSB:Nd) crystals with different concentrations ( = 0.15, 0.05, and 0.025) have been grown by the Czochralski method for the first time. The LGYSB:Nd-type crystals exhibit an acentric structure similar to that of the natural mineral huntite CaMg(CO), with space group 32. The composition of the LGYSB:Nd_3 ( = 0.025) crystal grown from the starting melt composition LaGdYNdSc(BO) was measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry method, and it was found to be LaGdYNdSc(BO). The transversal spatial distribution of the refractive index in the LGYSB:Nd_3 crystal was investigated. Third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility χ of the LGYSB:Nd_3 crystal was determined from third-harmonic generation experiments with ultrashort (fs) laser pulses. The optical transmission spectrum was measured in the range of 200-2000 nm. The absorption cross-section at 808 nm in σ-polarization was determined to be 1.18 × 10 cm for the LGYSB:Nd_3 crystal. The 10K absorption spectra revealed that the Nd ions occupy only La cationic sites in the LGYSB host matrix. The emission cross-section at 1064 nm in σ-polarization was determined to be σ(σ) = 1.74 × 10 cm for the LGYSB:Nd_3 crystal. The fluorescence lifetime was found to be τ = 115 μs for all of the LGYSB:Nd crystals. The LGYSB:Nd_3 laser was operated at an emission wavelength of 1062 nm with very high slope efficiencies of η = 0.74 and η = 0.64 in quasi-cw and cw regimes, respectively.

This work examined the effects of molecular weight (2-15 kDa) and concentration (10-30 mg/mL) of chitosan (CTS) on the binding capacity and interface behavior between octenyl succinic acid sodium starch (OSS) and CTS, as well as their effects on the storage stability of emulsions. The results of the isothermal calorimetry titration demonstrated that OSS and CTS were complexed by electrostatic interaction and spontaneous hydrogen bonding driven by enthalpy (ΔH from -3931 to -7983 cal/mol, ΔS from -38.5 to -49.

High Performance of Cs2AgBiBr6 Perovskite-based Photodetectors by Adding DEAC.

Chemistry

December 2024

East China University of Science and Technology, School of Materials Science and Engineering, meilong Road, 200237, shanghai, CHINA.

Perovskite-based photodetectors (PDs) are broadly utilized in optical communication, non-destructive testing, and smart wearable devices due to their ability to convert light into electrical signals. However, toxicity and instability hold back their mass production and commercialization. The lead-free Cs2AgBiBr6 double perovskite film, promised to be an alternative, is fabricated by electrophoretic deposition (EPD), which compromises film quality.
