Effects of Surfactants on High Regularity of 3D Porous Nickel for Zn2

Three-dimensional porous nickel (3D-PN) film with large specific surface area () and high porosity has been successfully prepared by hydrogen bubble dynamic template (HBDT) method. This work presents the effects of PEG 10000 and 1,4-butynediol as new additive combination on surface morphology of the PN film. Meanwhile, the application of 3D-PN in Zn2

Influence of rare earth elements (Y, Gd and Lu) on the luminescent properties of green phosphor ZnMoO4:Tb3+

(Zn,Lnx )MoO4 :Tb(3+) (Ln = Y(3+), Gd(3+) and Lu(3+) ) were prepared using the co-precipitation method. Phase impurity, morphology and composition were investigated by power X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The experimental results show that crystal structure is not destroyed after doping an appropriate amount of Y(3+), Gd(3+) and Lu(3+). EDS analysis reveals that Y, Gd and Lu have been successfully doped into ZnMoO4 . In addition, the morphology of the phosphors is notably improved, exhibiting homogeneous dispersion morphology and irregular shapes of particle size ~ 0.5-1 µm. The luminescent intensity of (Zn,Lnx )MoO4:Tb(3+) (Ln = Y(3+), Gd(3+) and Lu(3+)) phosphor is obviously higher than that of ZnMoO4 :Tb(3+) phosphor. The energy transfer process between trivalent rare earth ions indicates that the inert earth ions can act as an energy bridge from MoO4(2-) to Tb(3+).

Theoretical investigation for the EPR g-factors of the mixed ground state in NaCl: Ag(2+) crystals

In this paper, it is considered that the local structure of the (AgCl6)4- cluster for the NaCl: Ag2+ crystal is of the axially elongational D4h symmetry which possesses the weaker rhombic distortion at <001> lattice site. The mechanism for an admixture of the 2A1g into the ground state 2B1g is taken into account. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) g factors of NaCl: Ag2+ are studied by using the double spin-orbit coupling model and an approximation of a semiempirical molecular orbit. The EPR g factors for the NaCl: Ag2+ crystals are reasonably explained as well as the good agreement between the calculated values and the experimental data is obtained.
