Charge transfer transitions in the photoluminescence spectra of Zn1-xMexO (Me = Mn, Ni, Co) oxide compounds

Crystals of Zn1-xCoxO and Zn1-xNixO are studied by photoluminescence at temperatures of 8 and 90 K. By resolving the spectra into sums of gaussian distributions and using the known positions of donor and acceptor levels of 3d-impurities relative to the edges of the allowed bands, the observed peaks in the photoluminescence spectra are interpreted in terms of radiative recombination through donor and acceptor levels of nickel and cobalt ions. These results are compared with previously observed features of the photoluminescence spectra of Zn1-xMnxO crystals. © 2013 American Institute of Physics

Leveraging VBA in translation

The article is focused on finding ways for the VBA application in translation. Most of the macro code solutions available online date back to the early 2000s. Given the fact, the researchers decided to look into the usefulness of the instrument in today's environment, which has changed significantly over the two decade

Blue shift in optical absorption, magnetism and light-induced superparamagnetism in γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles formed in dendrimer

© 2015, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht. Abstract: We are presenting the investigation of the optical, magnetic, and photoinduced superparamagnetic properties of single-domain γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) with diameters of about 2.5 nm formed in second-generation poly(propylene imine) dendrimer. The optical absorption studies indicated direct allowed transition with the band gap (4.5 eV), which is blue shift with respect to the value of the bulk material. Low-temperature blocking of the NPs magnetic moments at 18 K is determined by SQUID measurements. The influence of pulsed laser irradiation on the superparamagnetic properties of γ-Fe2O3 NPs was studied by EPR spectroscopy. It has been shown that irradiation of the sample held in vacuo and cooled in zero magnetic field to 6.9 K leads to the appearance of a new EPR signal, which decays immediately after the irradiation is stopped. The appearance and disappearance of this new signal can be repeated many times at 6.9 K when we turn on/turn off the laser. We suppose that the generation of conduction band electrons by irradiation into the band gap of the γ-Fe2O3 changes the superparamagnetic properties of NPs. Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]Features of the behavior of single-domain γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles formed in dendrimer were found by UV-Vis and EPR spectroscopy: “blue” shift in optical absorption, a significant increase in the band gap width and variation of superparamagnetic properties under light irradiation

We are presenting the joint investigation of the optical and photoinduced superparamagnetic properties of a single-domain γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) formed in poly(propylene imine) (PPI)-dendrimer. The optical absorption studies indicated direct allowed transition with the band gap (4.5 eV), which is blue-shift with respect to the value of the bulk material. The influence of pulsed laser irradiation on the superparamagnetic properties of γ-Fe2O3 NPs was studied by Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. It has been shown that irradiation of the sample in vacuo and cooled in zero magnetic field to 6.9 K leads to the appearance of a new EPR signal, which decays immediately after the irradiation is stopped. We suppose that the generation of conduction band electrons by irradiation into the band gap of the γ-Fe2O3 changes the superparamagnetic properties of NPs

Coexistence of spin crossover and magnetic ordering in a dendrimeric Fe(III) complex

© 2015 AIP Publishing LLC. The magnetic properties of a new dendrimeric spin crossover Fe(III) complex, [Fe(L)2]+PF6, where L = 3,5-di[3,4,5-tris(tetradecyloxy) benzoyloxy]benzoyl-4-salicylidene-N-ethyl-N-ethylene-diamine, are reported for the first time. EPR studies show that this compound undergoes a gradual spin transition in the temperature range 70-300K and has antiferromagnetic ordering below 10K. Mössbauer spectroscopy at 5K confirms the presence of magnetic ordering in the dendrimeric iron complex

Fragment-based approach to novel bioactive purine derivatives

Using purine as a scaffold, the methods for preparation of novel 2-aminopurine and purine derivatives substituted at position C6 by the fragments of natural amino acids, short peptides, andN-heterocycles, including enantiopure ones, have been proposed. The methods for determination of the enantiomeric purity of the obtained chiral compounds have been developed. Conjugates exhibiting high antimycobacterial or antiherpesvirus activity against both laboratory and multidrug-resistant strains were revealed among the obtained compounds. © 2020 De Gruyter.

High-precision calculations of In I and Sn II atomic properties

We use all-order relativistic many-body perturbation theory to study 5s^2 nl configurations of In I and Sn II. Energies, E1-amplitudes, and hyperfine constants are calculated using all-order method, which accounts for single and double excitations of the Dirac-Fock wave functions.Comment: 10 pages, accepted to PRA; v2: Introduction changed, references adde

Excitons and Photoluminescence in ZnO and Zn0.99Mn 0.01O Nanocrystals

The photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation spectra for Zn 1-x Mn x O nanocrystals are presented. After annealing of powders in air, the intensity of the bands attributable to manganese decreases noticeably. This suggests that the oxygen vacancies affect the Zhang-Rice-like states appearing due to strong d-p-hybridization, which is confirmed by an increase in the band gap of Zn1-x Mn x O for low x. The origin of the 2.9-eV peak and the shape of its excitation spectrum are discussed qualitatively. For Zn1-x Mn x O nanocrystals, the shape of the excitation spectrum is as unusual as the intense absorption in the range (2.2-3.0) eV. © 2010 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.We wish to thank T. Dietl, V.I. Anisimov, and A.V. Lukoyanov for the discussion of localized states in the Zn1–xMnxO system.
