Luminescence and optical absorption induced by an electron pulse a subsequent laser have been studied in densified undensified amorphous Si${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ at 77 K. We find that the decay of optical-absorption change consists two components: one which decays following power law within 1 ms other much more slowly. The fast component exhibits spectrum self-trapped excitons, while slow includes ${E}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ band. band thus generated is found to with time constant about 10 h K be...

The excitation spectrum of the 2.8-eV luminescence band crystalline Si${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ has been measured in a photon energy range between 6 and 14 eV at 77 K. We find that onset occurs 8.3 eV, which is nearly equal to fundamental optical absorption edge Si${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$. This result supports strongly model due radiative recombination self-trapped excitons.

A two-dimensional nanocarbon, graphene, has attracted substantial interest due to its excellent properties. The reduction of graphene oxide (GO) been investigated for the mass production used in practical applications. Different processes produce different properties affecting performance final materials or devices. Therefore, an understanding mechanisms GO is important controlling functional systems.

Interfaces in nanocarbon materials are highly important, as they determine the properties of carbon-based devices. In terms carrier and thermal transport properties, interfacial features often more important than intrinsic characteristics. Herein, we describe how 1 min Joule annealing carbon nanotube (CNT) yarns can convert amorphous into graphene fragments. After annealing, have obtained multiwalled CNT with extremely high Seebeck coefficients (±100 μV/K) thermoelectric power factor (400...

X-ray induced defects in single-walled (SWCNTs) and double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) were characterized by Raman scattering spectroscopy. Frenkel defects, interstitial-vacancy pairs, revealed to form both SWCNTs DWCNTs after irradiation because these entirely healed thermal annealing. In order clarify the structure of defect SWCNT DWCNT, isochronal-annealing experiments performed on irradiated samples activation energy for healing was estimated. The intensity D band (defect band)...

Abstract We have studied Fourier‐transform IR‐reflection spectra of tetrathiafulvalene‐ p ‐chloranil (TTF‐CA) crystal under continuous excitation by 532‐nm laser beam at 6 K. The the with power ( P ) 6.1 Wcm –2 induces an enhancement around 1640 cm –1 , which is ascribed to carbonyl stretching vibration CA molecules in neutral phase. Meanwhile, moderate < 3.5 gives intensity charge‐transfer (CT) reflection and a reduction g ‐mode band but no change band. results show that there threshold...

We have found that a Raman scattering (RS) peak around 1870 cm−1 was produced by the annealing of X-ray irradiated film single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) at 450 oC. The intensity 1870-cm−1 showed maximum probe energy 2.3 eV for RS spectroscopy with various lasers. Both position and probe-energy dependence were almost identical to those one-dimensional chains previously reported in multi-walled nanotubes. Consequently, we concluded present study is attributed chains. formation...

Modification by electronic excitation of semiconductor surfaces and carbon-related quasi-two-dimensional (2D) nanostructured materials, namely graphene, carbon nanotubes is reviewed. Defect creation in these materials takes place not low-intensity photoirradiation, but laser or electron irradiation. The defect processes are different from ordinary photochemical molecules some solids like alkali halides, which can be modified a localized exciton. It pointed out that there common features...

We found that X- ray-induced formed thin SWNTs at higher density than thick SWNTs. The defects, distant pairs interstitials and vacancies (I-V), eliminated thermal annealing. recovery temperature the ones, indicating stability thinner are higher.
