[IEEE 2018 31st International Vacuum Nanoelectronics Conference (IVNC) - Kyoto, Japan (2018.7.9-2018.7.13)] 2018 31st International Vacuum Nanoelectronics Conference (IVNC) - Electron sources based on diamond pin-diodes
摘要： Efficient electron sources are of ongoing interest in particular for space and terrestrial power telecommunications and radar applications. With conventional cathode technology based on thermionic- and field electron emission a novel approach for direct electron emission is realized through a diamond pin diode. Electrons injected into the conduction band of the intrinsic layer of the diode can be released into vacuum with a negative electron affinity surface of the i-layer. The diamond pin diodes were prepared on boron doped (p-type) substrates with (111) surface orientation. A high purity intrinsic and a phosphorus doped diamond layer (n-type, ~400nm thickness) were deposited in dedicated PECVD systems, respectively. An additional contact layer comprised of nanostructured carbon was grown in a dedicated PECVD. The layered device was processed by lithography utilizing an aluminum hard mask to etch mesa structures with diameters ranging from 50μm to 200μm. The final devices were treated in a pure hydrogen plasma to induce the negative electron affinity properties of the i-layer. After an annealing step in high vacuum individual pin diodes were biased in forward current and voltages up to 20V. The observation of light from the diode was attributed to the UV exciton state and indicated bipolar transport. At a diode current of about 80mA an electron emission current of 25μA was observed from a single 200μm diameter diode.

Control of Spatially Homogeneous Distribution of Heteroatoms to Produce Red TiO2 Photocatalyst for Visible-Light Photocatalytic Water Splitting
摘要： The strong band-to-band absorption of photocatalysts spanning the whole visible light region (400-700 nm) is critically important for solar-driven photocatalysis. Although it is actively and widely used as photocatalyst for various reactions in the past four decades, TiO2 has a very poor ability to capture the whole-spectrum visible light. Here, by controlling the spatially homogeneous distribution of boron and nitrogen heteroatoms in anatase TiO2 microspheres with a predominance of high-energy {001} facets, a strong visible light absorption spectrum with a sharp edge beyond 680 nm is achieved. The red TiO2 with the homogeneous doping of boron and nitrogen obtained shows no increase in defects like Ti3+ that are commonly observed in doped TiO2. More importantly, it has the ability to induce photocatalytic water oxidation to produce oxygen under the irradiation of visible light beyond 550 nm and also photocatalytic reducing water to produce hydrogen under visible light. These results demonstrate the great promise of using the red TiO2 for visible light photocatalytic water splitting and also provide an attractive strategy for realizing the wide-spectrum visible light absorption of wide-bandgap oxide photocatalysts.

Structural Properties of (Sn1?xMgxO) Thin Films and Optical Parameter Dependence with Gamma Ray Irradiation
摘要： Tin-Magnesium oxide (Sn1?xMgxO) thin films were prepared on glass substrates using the chemical spray pyrolysis technique, whereupon the samples were irradiated by gamma rays using a Co-60 radioactive source. X-ray diffraction showed that all prepared films were polycrystalline in nature with a tetragonal structure and a preferential growth of crystallites in the (110) plane. In general, the average crystallite size, lattice constants, dislocation density and crystallite density decreased with increasing Mg doping from 0% to 8%. Further, atomic force microscopy showed that the thin films were smooth and homogenous. The optical properties were obtained by ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometry, and the transmittance and absorbance spectra before and after gamma ray irradiation were compared for all samples, whereby the absorption and extinction coefficients and real and imaginary parts of the dielectric were studied before and after irradiation. It was found that the energy band gap values decreased from 3.94 eV to 3.72 eV with increasing Mg doping from 0% to 8% before irradiation, and from 3.92 eV to 3.59 eV after irradiation. All optical constants increased with doping percentage before and after irradiation. Energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy showed that all structures contained Sn and O elements in the undoped state, and contained SnO2 and Mg in the doped state.

Phase transformation and photoluminescence of undoped and Eu3+-doped zinc stannate (Zn2SnO4) nanocrystals synthesized by hydrothermal method
摘要： In this work we report a hydrothermal approach for synthesis of zinc stannate (Zn2SnO4–ZTO) nanocrystals. Structural properties and morphology of the samples were investigated in detail. In particular, our research focused on the effect of hydrothermal duration on the phase composition of ZTO nanocrystals. By combining X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy and selected area energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, a crystalline phase transformation during the hydrothermal process was enlightened. The ZTO nanocrystals were doped with europium ions. The room-temperature emission spectra of the undoped ZTO and Eu3+-doped ZTO nanocrystals were recorded. The emission spectra of the undoped ZTO nanocrystals showed two broad bands related to the lattice defects, while the spectra of Eu3+-doped ZTO nanocrystals exhibited the narrow emission peaks, which were assigned to the radiative intra-configurational f–f transitions of Eu3+ ions.

Microwave dielectric properties of B and N co-doped SiC nanopowders prepared by combustion synthesis
摘要： B and N co-doped SiC nanopowders were prepared by combustion synthesis under a nitrogen atmosphere from the Si/C system, using α-Si3N4 powder and B powder as solid nitriding agent and dopant, respectively. The prepared particles had spherical morphology and narrow size distribution. XPS analysis demonstrated that B and N atoms successfully incorporated into SiC crystal and formed Si1-xBxC1-yNy solid solution. Results of dielectric properties showed that the real part ε′ and imaginary part ε″ of the complex permittivities of the samples decreased first, and then increased with increasing N content. The sample with 5% B and 15% N revealed the greatest values in ε′ and ε″ and better microwave absorption performance. The corresponding mechanism of the dielectric properties of SiC improved by co-doping was discussed in detail.

Simultaneously engineering K-doping and exfoliation into graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) for enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen production
摘要： Doping and exfoliation are effective strategies to improve the photocatalytic activity of bulk graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4). Therefore, it can be inferred that engineering element-doping and exfoliation into g-C3N4 would further enhance the photocatalytic performance. Herein, we demonstrated a KOH-assisted hydrothermal-reformed melamine strategy for achieving the simultaneous K-doping and exfoliation of g-C3N4. The as-synthesized K-doped g-C3N4 ultrathin nanosheets displayed much enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate (HER) of about 13.1 times higher than that of the bulk g-C3N4 under visible-light irradiation, achieving an apparent quantum efficiency of 6.98% at 420 nm. The improved photocatalytic HER can be attributed to the high surface area offering numerous photocatalytic active sites, enlarged conductive band edge optimizing photoreduction potential, and K-doping promoting charge generation and separation as well as the long life-time of photogenerated carriers. This work would provide a promising way to integrate co-doping and exfoliation into new g-C3N4-based materials.

Optical Properties and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance of MnO2-Doped Fluorozirconate Glasses
摘要： We have studied luminescence and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of manganese-activated fluorozirconate glasses. In ZrF4–BaF2–LaF3–AlF3–NaF (ZBLAN) glasses, manganese gives a green luminescence band peaking at 545 nm. Partial chlorine substitution for fluorine in the glass leads to a shift and broadening of the luminescence band. Complete BaCl2 substitution for BaF2 in ZBLAN?Cl? fluoride chloride glass increases the peak emission wavelength to 610 nm. The observed distinctions between the EPR spectra of the Mn-doped ZBLAN and ZBLAN?Cl? glasses correlate with those between their luminescence spectra. The effect of chlorine substitution for fluorine on the luminescence and EPR spectra of the fluorozirconate glass is tentatively attributed to a change in the oxidation state of the manganese ions.

Effects of carbon doping and vacancy defect on the magnetism of anatase TiO2
摘要： The magnetism origin and mechanism of anatase TiO2 with C doping and vacancy remain controversial. In this study, the effects of C doping and vacancy defect on the magnetism of TiO2 were investigated by generalized gradient approximation and Hubbard U method based on density functional theory. Systems with coexisting interstitial C and O vacancies achieved half-metallic ferromagnetism, and the Curie temperature was above the room temperature. The system used as electron injection source reached 100% electron spin polarization. The Ti32CO2O62 system exhibited ferromagnetism, and the Curie temperature was above the room temperature. The magnetism source of Ti16CiO31 and Ti32CO2O62 demonstrated strong hybrid coupling electron exchange effects among Ti-3d, O-2p, and C-2p orbits which is consistent with the RKKY model of d-p orbital electron exchange.

Polyoxometalate as Control Agent for the Doping in HgSe Self-Doped Nanocrystals
摘要： Intraband and plasmonic transitions have appeared over the last years as an interesting tool to achieve optical absorption in the mid infrared. Tuning the doping magnitude has become a major challenge not only to tune the optical spectrum but also properties such as the dark current or the time response. Here we investigate the case of self-doped HgSe colloidal quantum dots (CQDs). Tuning of the doping was so far relying on band bending induced by a dipole design at the nanoparticle surface. With such a surface gating approach, it is difficult to conciliate both the massive tuning of the Fermi level with the preservation of transport properties of the CQD arrays. Here we propose a strategy to graft functionalized polyoxometalates (POMs) at the CQD surface and obtain simultaneously a massive tuning of the carrier density (≈5 electrons per nanoparticle) and conduction properties. We bring a consistent demonstration of the HgSe CQD doping decrease by a charge transfer to the POM. This method is highly promising for large tuning of carrier density in degenerately doped semiconductor nanoparticles.

Can one introduce long range ferromagnetism by doping transition metal in wide band gap semiconducting ZnO?
摘要： In this report, we present a systematic study of magnetic behavior of transition metal (TM = Fe or Cu) doped ZnO and co-doped (Cu, Fe) ZnO nanoparticles. All the samples show antiferromagnetic (AFM) like inverse susceptibility at low temperatures. In all the samples AFM Curie-Weiss temperature TAF M increases with increase in TM ion concentration indicating enhanced antiferromagnetic correlation upon TM doping. We observe a crossover from antiferromagnetic correlation state to ferromagnetic correlation around temperature (T) 100 - 150K. We shall try to explain all the experimental observations by invoking the role of oxygen vacancies, valency of transition metal ions, formation and interaction between bound magnetic polaron (BMP) and their melting in ZnO matrix. Even though we observe ferromagnetic correlation around room temperature in all these samples from the inverse magnetic susceptibility data, but no true long range ferromagnetic transition was observed in magnetization down to lowest measured temperature of 5K. Our study indicates the di?culties in achieving long range ferromagnetism arising due to the formation of BMPs upon lowering the temperature where these BMPs get antiferromagnetically correlated due to superexchange interaction occurring in transition metal doped wide band gap semiconducting ZnO matrix.
