    International audienceThe replacement of tantalum by the couple Zr/W within the RTa-O-N systems (R = Y, Nd, Sm, Gd, Yb), enables the preparation of novel oxide and oxynitride phases in the R-Zr-W-O-N system. R2Zr2xWxO7+x oxides exhibit the fluorite-type (x < 0.9) and scheelite (x 1) structures. Corresponding oxynitride compositions are of the fluorite-type and show different colors, for example in the case of ytterbium: pale yellow (x = 0.2 or 0.25), green (x = 0.5-0.8) and brown for the tungsten-rich samples (x = 0.9, 1). Photocatalytic activity measurements have been performed to investigate the overall water splitting behavior of these colored phases

    We have computed second and third nonlinear optical susceptibilities of two crystalline bulk tellurium oxide polymorphs: α -TeO 2 (the most stable crystalline bulk phase) and γ -TeO 2 (the crystalline phase that ressembles the more to the glass phase). Third-order nonlinear susceptibilities of the crystalline phases are two orders of magnitude larger than α -SiO 2 cristoballite, thus extending the experimental observations on glasses to the case of crystalline compounds. While the electronic lone pairs of Te contribute to those large values, a full explanation of the anisotropy of the third-order susceptibility tensor requires a detailed analysis of the structure, in particular, the presence of helical chains, that seems to be linked to cooperative nonlocal polarizabilty effects

    L'objectif principal de ce travail est d'établir des relations entre la composition chimique, la structure cristalline et électronique de composés (oxy)nitrures colorés d'une part et leurs propriétés optiques d'autre part. La couleur de ces composés semiconducteurs est due à des transitions interbandes entre la bande de valence et la bande de conduction. Dans un tel mécanisme, la couleur peut aller du noir au blanc en passant par le marron, le rouge, le orange et le jaune, selon la taille du gap, en d'autres termes, selon la position du front d'absorption dans le spectre UV-visible-proche IR. L'étude de la structure électronique de composés nous conduit à une meilleure compréhension des phénomènes menant à leur couleur. Nous avons ainsi étudié les nitrures binaires M3N2 (M = Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) et l'oxynitrure TaON. De plus, la synthèse par voie " chimie douce " de nouvelles phases comme Ln2ZrW(O,N,-)8 et Ln2Zr1,5W0,5(O,N,-)8 de type fluorine, issus de la nitruration des oxydes nouveaux Ln2ZrWO8 (de type scheelite) et Ln2Zr1,5W0,5O7,5-0,5 (de type fluorine), ouvre de nouvelles possibilités dans l'étude de composés (oxy)nitrures.RENNES1-BU Sciences Philo (352382102) / SudocSudocFranceF

    Tunability of the optical properties in the Y<sub>6</sub>(W,Mo)(O,N)<sub>12</sub> system

    International audienceNew fluorite-type solid solution domains have been evidenced in the system Y6(W,Mo)(O,N)12 using precursors prepared by the amorphous citrate route. The oxynitrides as well as the low temperature oxides (600°C) crystallize in a cubic-type symmetry while the oxides annealed above 1200°C exhibit a rhombohedral symmetry. Either cationic (W/Mo) or anionic (O/N) substitutions bring the possibility to tune the optical absorption of the yttrium tungstate Y6WO12, which potential as inorganic UV absorbers is discusse
