MgO-decorated carbon nanotubes for CO2 adsorption: first principles calculations

The global greenhouse effect makes it urgent to deal with the increasing greenhouse gases.In this paper the performance of MgO-decorated carbon nanotubes for CO 2 adsorption is investigated through first principles calculations.The results show that the MgO-decorated carbon nanotubes can adsorb CO 2 well and are relatively insensitive to O 2 and N 2 at the same time.The binding energy arrives at 1.18 eV for the single-MgO-decorated carbon nanotube adsorbing one CO 2 molecule,while the corresponding values for O 2 and N 2 are 0.55 eV and 0.06 eV,respectively.In addition,multi-molecule adsorption is also proved to be very satisfactory.These results indicate that MgO-decorated carbon nanotubes have great potential applications in industrial and environmental processes.

为保障我国相关国防重大工程对低吸收蓝宝石晶体材料的需求，本文通过自主研制的晶体生长设备，成功生长了低吸收蓝宝石晶体。该晶体在紫外、可见光、近-中红外波段展现出了良好的透过率，波长250～400 nm的透过率大于83%,波长400～4 200 nm的透过率超过85%。在晶体不同区域进行取样表征测试，得到晶体的平均位错密度为253.19 cm^-2,摇摆曲线对称且峰形尖锐，半峰全宽为14″。此外，值得注意的是，晶体在1 064 nm处的光吸收系数均在(23.3～30.4)×10^-6 cm^-1,表明晶体内部的杂质元素得到有效控制，晶体光学性能优异，可用于高能激光系统、空间相机镜头等应用场景。

采用顶部籽晶熔盐法,以K2WO4为助熔剂生长出铒、镱共掺钨酸钆钾[Er,Yb：KGd（WO4）2简称Er,Yb：KGW]激光晶体。XRD分析结果表明晶体为低温相Er,Yb：KGW晶体,即β-Er,Yb：KGW晶体。通过差热分析测量,确定其相变温度和熔点分别为1020℃和1080℃。测量了晶体190-2000nm的室温透过光谱,结果表明除980nm的吸收谱带是Er^3＋离子和Yb^3＋离子的共同谱带之外,其余均属于Er^3＋离子。     

Influence of strain and electric field on the properties of silicane

We investigate the influence of strain and electric field on the properties of a silicane sheet. Some elastic parameters of silicane, such as an in-plane stiffness of 52.55 N/m and a Poisson’s ratio of 0.24, are obtained by calculating the strain energy. Compared with silicene, silicane is softer because of its relatively weaker Si-Si bonds. The band structure of silicane is tunable by a uniform tensile strain, with the increase of which the band gap decreases monotonously. Moreover, silicane undergoes an indirect-direct gap transition under a small strain, and a semiconductor-metal transition under a large strain. The electric field can change the Si-H bond length of silicane significantly. When a strong field is applied, the H atom at the high potential side becomes desorbed, while the H atom at the low potential side keeps bonded. So an external electric field can help to produce single-side hydrogenated silicene from silicane. We believe this study will be helpful for the application of silicane in the future.
