Two contrary phenomena, i.e., infrared-induced permanent quenching and short-lived enhancement of phosphorescence, are observed. The defect levels play a significant role in both the processes. It is demonstrated that the phosphorescence induced by the violet beam can be controlled by another infrared beam. The turn-off and turn-on behaviour means that doping luminescent centres into host materials is a considerable way to design a new all-optical switch and may control the output of laser beams in the fibre lasers and optical communications.展开更多

The influence of growth temperature on the microstructural, optical and magnetic properties of Zn0.75Co0.25O films is investigated by using x-ray diffraction, selected area electron diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscope, high resolution transmitting electron microscope, photoluminescence (PL), field dependent and temperature dependent DC magnetization, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It is shown that Zn0.75Co0.25O films grown at low temperatures (250-350℃) are of single-phase wurtzite structure. Films synthesized at 300 or 350℃ reveal room temperature (RT) ferromagnetism (FM), while su for 250℃ fabricated films is found above 56 K. PL and XPS investigations show favour towards the perspective that the O-vacancy induced spin-split impurity band mechanism is responsible for the formation of RT FM of Zn0.75Co0.25O film, while the superparamagnetism of 250℃ fabricated film is attributed to the small size effect of nanoparticles in Zn0.75Co0.25O film.展开更多

Herein, Cu sites with electron-rich and electron-deficient states were constructed by controlling the impregnation solutions. The π electrons flowing from acetylene to Cu site are facilitated over the electron-deficient Cu sites, achieving high activation of C≡C bond. The contradiction between the increased activation of acetylene required for enhanced catalytic activity and the resistance of Cu site to reduction by acetylene required for maintaining catalytic stability can be balanced by establishing strong interactions of Cu site with pyrrolic-N species. The catalytic activity displays a volcano shape scaling relationship as a function of Cu particle size. Tribasic copper chloride is concomitantly generated with the construction of electron-deficient Cu sites. The H–Cl bond of HCl can be activated over the tribasic copper chloride, accelerating the surface reaction of vinyl chloride production. This strategy of inducing electron deficiency provides new insight into the rational design of catalysts for the synthesis of vinyl chloride with a high catalytic performance.展开更多
