Properties and growth of large single crystals of one-dimensional organic lead iodine perovskite

The structure of the layered noncentrosymmetric titanosilicate AM-1 (also known as JDF-L1, disodium titanium tetrasilicate dihydrate), Na4Ti2Si8O22·4H2O, grown as small single crystals without the use of organics, has been refined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The H atom has been located for the first time, and the hydrogen-bonding scheme is also characterized by IR and Raman spectroscopy. All atoms are in general positions except for the Na, the Ti, one Ti-bound O, one Si-bound O and the water O atoms (site symmetries 2, 4, 4, 2 and 2, respectively).

In this study, for the first time, self-driven photodetector based on cubic CH3NH3PbI3 large single crystal (C-MAPbI3 LSC) with adjustable positive-negative signal is fabricated. The preparation of MAPbI3 large single crystal (MAPbI3 LSC) is realized by the method of growth-drop-growth (GDG). The band gap of MAPbI3 single crystals with Pm-3m (221) space group (6.134×6.134×6.134 Å, 90.00 x 90.00 x 90.00) is 1.58 eV. CH3NH3+ cation is orientation-disorder within the perovskite cubo-octahedral cavity. The photocurrent density at 803 nm of the C-MAPbI3 LSC photodetector under different bias voltages is the highest under different wavelength. The responsivities (R), response time, external quantum efficiencies (EQE) and the detectivity (D) for C-MAPbI3 LSC photodetector at 803 nm wavelength with 1 W m-2, respectively, is 508.7 µA/mW, 0.1338 ms, 79.6% and 8.64*1011 Jones. Notably, the C-MAPbI3 LSC photodetector can be self-driven under 0 V bias voltage, in particular, the positive and negative values of the photocurrent can be adjusted. The proposed mechanism of poling inducing built-in potential is explained adjustable positive-negative signal in self-driven photodetector based on cubic CH3NH3PbI3 large single crystal.

Effect Of Hydrostatic Pressure

AbstractThe effect of hydrostatic pressure up to P = 1.7 GPa on the fluctuation conductivity σ′(T) and pseudogap ∆*(T) in Y0.95Pr0.05Ba2Cu3O7−δ single crystal with critical temperature Тс = 85.2 K (at P = 0) was investigated. The application of pressure leads to the increase in Tc with dTc/dP = +1.82 K∙GPa−1 while the resistance decreases as dlnρ(100 K)/dP = −(10.5 ± 0.2) %∙GPa−1. Regardless of the pressure, in the temperature interval from Tc to T0 (~88 K at P = 0) the behaviour of σ′(T) is well described by the Aslamazov – Larkin (AL – 3D) fluctuation theory, and above the T0 by the Lawrence – Doniach theory (LD). The Maki-Thompson (MT – 2D) fluctuation contribution is not observed. This indicates the presence of structural defects in the sample induced by Pr. Here it is determined for the first time that when the pressure is applied to the Y1−xPrxBa2Cu3O7−δ single crystal, the pseudogap increases as dlnΔ*/dP = 0.17 GPa–1.

Single crystals of lithium zinc titanate (Li2ZnTi3O8) were grown in a double-mirror type optical floating-zone furnace for the first time. Single crystals were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and Laue measurements. The ionic conductivity of the single crystals was measured in the temperature range of 400–700 K. Below 600 K, the ionic conductivity of the single crystal is one to two orders of magnitude higher than that of polycrystalline Li2ZnTi3O8. In the temperature range of 550–600 K, the temperature dependence of the ionic conductivity shows non-Arrhenius behaviour.

Transmission And Reflection

Optical transmission and reflection measurements are reported for the quasi one dimensional solids perylene-TCNQ (P1T1) and (perylene)3-TCNQ (P3T1) in the region from 300 to 1200 nm. Raman spectra of single crystals of both compounds were obtained from 20 to 3000 cm−1. With 457.9 nm excitation, combinations and overtones of perylene are observed for the first time. A complete Raman spectrum of perylene and its deuterated homologue including librations is thus obtained via selective resonance enhancement of that molecule.

Although Ca 3 LiRuO 6 is characterized by one-dimensional configuration in crystallographic structure, it has three-dimensional (3D) magnetic order, the value of Tc is far below the magnitude of Curie–Weiss temperature. Θcw ≈ -306 K indicates complex nature of the magnetism is in this compound.

In situ, observation of twinning and detwinning in magnesium single crystals during tension-compression cyclic loading was made using optical microscopy. A quantitative analysis of plastic strain indicates that twinning and detwinning experience two stages, low and high work hardening de-twinning, and pure re-twinning and fresh twinning combined with retwinning. Slip is always activated. For the first time, inverse slip accompanying with pure retwinning and high work hardening detwinning was experimentally identified, which provides insights in better understanding of the activity of twining, detwinning, and slips.

AbstractSingle crystals of La5Ir1.73In4.27 were grown from a sample of the starting composition 47La: 17Ir: 36 In by arc-melting, followed by a long annealing sequence in a muffle furnace. La5Ir1.73In4.27 crystallizes with the Lu5Ni2In4-type structure, space group Pbam, which was refined from single-crystal X-ray diffractometer data: a = 834.0(2), b = 1862.2(4), c = 385.31(8) pm, wR2 = 0.0278, 1165 F2 values and 37 variables. The 4h iridium site shows a small degree of Ir/In mixing. Geometrically one can describe the La5Ir1.73In4.27 structure as a simple 4:1 intergrowth variant of CsCl and AlB2-related slabs. The iridium and indium atoms form a one-dimensional meandering [Ir1.73In4.27]δ– polyanion (292 pm Ir–In and 327 pm In–In) which is embedded in a lanthanum matrix.

The results of a Rietveld refinement of CsMnCr(CN)6 · D2O neutron powder data (a = 1084.3(1) pm, F4̄3m, Z = 4) and of a neutron single crystal structure refinement of tetragonal NMe4MnII(Cr0,06Mn0,94)III(CN)6 · 8 H2O (a = 1065.8(21), c = 1064.6(26) pm, P4/n, Z = 2) at ambient temperature are reported. Single crystal X-ray analyses of the isostructural octahydrate NMe4MnCo(CN)6 · 8 H20 (a = 1062.1 (1), c = 1046.2( 1) pm) and of gel-grown crystals of cubic Mn3II[MnIII(CN)6]2 - 15 H2O (a = 1062.6(3) pm, Fm3̄m, Z = 4/3) and Cd3[Fe(CN)6]2 · 15 H2O (a = 1067.7(3) pm) were performed as well. The latter “Prussian Blues” are highly disordered and intermediate with respect to cyano-bridging between the above three-dimensional cesium and one-dimensional tetramethylammonium compounds.
