One-step synthesis of centimeter-size alpha-MoO3 with single crystallinity
摘要： By utilizing the convenient physical vapor deposition procedure, a simple and low-cost synthesis route is developed to fabricate high-quality orthorhombic MoO3 crystals with single crystallinity and significant size (bigger than 10mm×10 mm2). A combined characterization techniques of atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, synchrotron-based X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy confirm the high quality of α-MoO3 crystal from the point view of both electronic and physical structures. Compared to previous reports in literature, we demonstrate herein a rather simplified one-step approach with only the MoO3 powder needed. In the end, corresponding electrochromic performance has also been been tested which reveals high transmittance and remarkable optical properties which may broadens the potential applications of MoO3 single crystal in nanosensors, nanoelectronics and so on.

Synthesis of 1D α-MoO3/0D ZnO heterostructure nanobelts with enhanced gas sensing properties
摘要： Exploring high-performance sensing materials is ultra-important for safety control. Herein, 1D α-MoO3/0D ZnO nanocomposites are prepared via a facile hydrothermal method and its microstructure is characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It is confirmed that the as-prepared nanocomposites are constituted by 1D α-MoO3 nanobelts (200-300 nm in width), with the surface loaded with fine ZnO nanoparticles. Sensing properties of the α-MoO3 and 1D α-MoO3/0D ZnO nanocomposites to ethanol are measured and compared. Interestingly, the ZnO-decorated α-MoO3 nanobelts exhibited excellent sensitivity and selectivity to ethanol at relatively low operating temperature (250 oC) when compared with that of the raw α-MoO3 nanobelts, indicating a good candidate of 1D α-MoO3/0D ZnO nanocomposites for future ethanol detection.

An investigation of 60Co gamma radiation-induced effects on the properties of nanostructured α-MoO3 for the application in optoelectronic and photonic devices
摘要： Gamma ray has sufficient energy to ionize and displace of atoms when interacts with optoelectronic and photonic devices that are placed at γ-radiation exposure environment, can be exposed to gamma radiation, resulting the alteration of the physical properties and hence the performances of devices. A comprehensive investigation of physical properties of the semiconductor materials under the influence of gamma radiation is essential for the effective design of devices for the application in the radiation exposure environment. In this article, a potential candidate for optoelectronic and photonic devices, orthorhombic MoO3 nanoparticles with average crystallite size of 135.31 nm successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method. Then, the properties of nanoparticles exposed to low (10 kGy) and high (120 kGy) absorbed dose of γ-rays from 60Co source were characterized by XRD, FESEM, FTIR and UV–Vis–NIR spectrophotometer and effects of absorbed doses was investigated for the first time. A significant change is observed in different physical properties of α-MoO3 nanoparticles after gamma exposure. The XRD patterns reveal the average crystallite size, intensity and the degree of crystallinity decrease for low dose (10 kGy) and increases for high dose (120 kGy). The calculated average crystallite size exposed to low and high doses are 127.79 nm and 136 nm, respectively. The lattice strain and dislocation density, however, shows the opposite trend of crystallite size with absorbed doses. This result is good evidence for the deterioration of crystallinity for low dose and improvement for high dose. The FESEM results reveal the significant effects of gamma doses on the micrographs of layered structure and on grain size. The optical studies disclose that band gap increases gradually from 2.78 to 2.90 eV, this behavior is associated with the reduction of electronic localized states. These results suggest that α-MoO3 nanoparticles could tolerate high doses of gamma radiation, making it a promising candidate for optoelectronic and photonic devices for γ-ray exposure environment applications.

Temperature independent low firing [Ca0.25(Nd1-xBix)0.5]MoO4 (0.2 ≤ x ≤ 0.8) microwave dielectric ceramics
摘要： A scheelite structured [Ca0.25(Nd1-xBix)0.5]MoO4 (0.2 (cid:1) x (cid:1) 0.8) ceramics were prepared via solid state reaction method. All the ceramics can be well densi?ed below 780 (cid:3)C. As x value increased from 0.2 to 0.8, microwave dielectric permittivity increased from 14.0 to 27.8, Qf (Q ? quality factor ? 1/dielectric loss; f ? resonant frequency) value decreased from 42,000 GHz to 19,000 GHz, and TCF shifted from (cid:4)50 ppm/oC to t18 ppm/oC. The best microwave dielectric properties with permittivity between 23.54 and 23.56, Qf value between 24,000 GHze21,000 GHz and TCF value ~ (cid:4)8 ppm/oC in wide temperature range 25 (cid:3)Ce130 (cid:3)C were obtained in x ? 0.6 ceramic. This work showed that Bi played an important role to modify the TCF from negative to positive value in scheelite materials and this result further accelerate the application of scheelite materials in low temperature co-?red ceramics (LTCC) technology.

Optical Band Gap, Local Work Function and Field Emission Properties of MBE Grown β-MoO3 Nanoribbons
摘要： Monoclinic molybdenum trioxide (β-MoO3) nanostructures (shaped like nanoribbons: NRs) were grown on Si(100), Si(5512) and fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) technique under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions. The dependence of substrate conditions and the effective thickness of MoO3 films on the morphology of nanostructures and their structural aspects were reported. The electron microscopy measurements show that the length and the aspect ratio of nanostructures increased by, 260% without any significant change in the width for a change in effective thickness from 5 nm to 30 nm. NRs are grown along <011> for all the effective thickness of MoO3 films. Similarly, when we increased the film thickness from 5 nm to 30 nm, the optical band gap decreased from 3.38± 0.01eV to 3.17± 0.01eV and the local work function increased from 5.397 ± 0.025 eV to 5.757 ± 0.030 eV. Field emission turn-on field decreased from 3.58 V/μm for 10-μA/cm2 to 2.5 V/μm and field enhancement factor increased from 1.1×104 to 5.9×104 for effective thickness variation of 5 nm to 30 nm β-MoO3 structures. The β-MoO3 nanostructures found to be much better than the α-MoO3 nanostructures due to low work function, low turn on field and high field enhancement factor, and are expected to be useful applications.

Microscopy and Spectroscopy Study of Nanostructural Phase Transformation from β-MoO3 to Mo under UHV – MBE Conditions
摘要： We report a simple reduction of molybdenum oxide (β-MoO3) grown on reconstructed Si(100) by thermal annealing in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). By increasing the substrate temperature during deposition or the annealing temperature after growth, the morphologies of as-deposited structures were found to vary from nanoribbons (NRs) of β-MoO3 to nanoparticles (NPs) of Mo. The change in morphologies have been associated with a structural transition from β-MoO3 to MoO2 at 400 °C and MoO2 to Mo at 750 °C. The in-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements revealed a shift of the Mo 3d peaks towards lower binding energies, representing the reduction in Mo oxidation states until a pure Mo 3d peak at 750°C was observed. The ex-situ KPFM measurements showed a decrease in the local work function (Φ) (from ≈ 5.27 ± 0.05 eV to ≈ 4.83 ± 0.05 eV) with increasing substrate temperature. A gradual reduction of the band gap from ≈ 3.32 eV for β-MoO3 NRs to zero band gap for Mo NPs is also observed during the annealing up to 750 °C.

An investigation on shielding properties of BaO, MoO3 and P2O5 based glasses using MCNPX code
摘要： In the present work, some radiation shielding quantities (mass attenuation coefficients, effective atomic number, effective electron density, half value layer and mean free path) for various BaO–MoO3–P2O5 ternary glass systems have been determined within the 0.015–15 MeV energy range, using WinXCom program. Additionally, the mass attenuation coefficients of all the investigated glasses have been calculated using MCNPX simulation code (version 2.6.0) and compared to those of WinXCom results. Among the studied glasses, BaMoP8 glass sample with MoO3 content of 70% mol is found to have superior gamma-ray shielding characteristics. Moreover, the glasses studied in this paper possess better radiation shielding properties by providing shorter half value layer (HVL) than RS-253 G18 commercial glass and some concrete samples namely ordinary, hematite-serpentine and ilmanite-limonite.

Orthogonal gas sensor arrays by chemoresistive material design
摘要： Gas sensor arrays often lack discrimination power to different analytes and robustness to interferants, limiting their success outside of research laboratories. This is primarily due to the widely sensitive (thus weakly-selective) nature of the constituent sensors. Here, the effect of orthogonality on array accuracy and precision by selective sensor design is investigated. Therefore, arrays of (2–5) selective and non-selective sensors are formed by systematically altering array size and composition. Their performance is evaluated with 60 random combinations of ammonia, acetone and ethanol at ppb to low ppm concentrations. Best analyte predictions with high coefficients of determination (R2) of 0.96 for ammonia, 0.99 for acetone and 0.88 for ethanol are obtained with an array featuring high degree of orthogonality. This is achieved by using distinctly selective sensors (Si:MoO3 for ammonia and Si:WO3 for acetone together with Si:SnO2) that improve discrimination power and stability of the regression coefficients. On the other hand, arrays with collinear sensors (Pd:SnO2, Pt:SnO2 and Si:SnO2) hardly improve gas predictions having R2 of 0.01, 0.86 and 0.28 for ammonia, acetone and ethanol, respectively. Sometimes they even exhibited lower coefficient of determination than single sensors as a Si:MoO3 sensor alone predicts ammonia better with a R2 of 0.68.

Extrinsic Defects in Crystalline MoO <sub/>3</sub> : Solubility and Effect on the Electronic Structure
摘要： The effect of six potential contaminants (Cu, In, Ga, Se, Sn and Zn) and five potential dopants (Ti, Mn, Sc, V and Y) on the electronic and optical properties of molybdenum oxide (MoO3) contact layers for solar cells was investigated using point defect analysis informed by density functional theory simulations. Of the contaminants investigated, Sn, In and Ga were found to be highly insoluble at all relevant temperatures and pressures, and therefore not a concern for solar cell manufacturing. Zn, Cu and Se exhibit some solubility, with the latter two appearing to introduce detrimental defect states near the valence band. This contamination can be avoided by increasing the O2 partial pressure during MoO3 deposition. Out of five potential aliovalent dopants, Sc, Ti and Y were disregarded due to their limited solubility in MoO3, while V was found to be highly soluble and Mn somewhat soluble. The effect of Mn and V doping was shown to be strongly dependent on the O2 partial pressure during deposition with a high pO2 favoring the formation of substitutional defects (potentially beneficial in the case of Mn doping due to the addition of defects states near the conduction band) while low pO2 favors interstitial defects.

Enhancing the performance of LARP-synthesized CsPbBr <sub/>3</sub> nanocrystal LEDs by employing a dual hole injection layer
摘要： Lead halide perovskites have been considered promising materials for optoelectronic applications owing to their superior properties. CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (NCs) with a narrow particle size distribution and a narrow emission spectrum are synthesized by ligand-assisted re-precipitation (LARP), a low-cost and facile process. In inverted CsPbBr3 NC LEDs, a dual hole injection layer (HIL) of 1,4,5,8,9,11-hexaazatriphenylene-hexacarbonitrile (HAT-CN)/MoO3 is introduced to enhance hole injection and transport, because HAT-CN can extract electrons easily from the hole transport layer and leave a large number of holes there. The current and power efficiencies of the optimized device with a dual HIL are 1.5- and 1.8-fold higher than those of the single HIL device. It is believed that the dual HAT-CN/MoO3 HIL effectively promotes hole injection and has promise for application in many other devices.
