Apparent Similarity

Organic conductor (DMTSA)BF4 [DMTSA: 2,3dimethyl-tetra-sleno-antracene] is a compound composed of an electron donor DMTSA and a monovalent acceptor BF$_4^-$. In the salt, the electronic system is expected to be the Mott-Hubbard insulator. However, its conductivity at room temperature is 200~400$\Omega^{-1}$cm-1 and behaves metallic above ∼2OOK. At ambient pressure, we found anomalies both in the DC conductivity components and in the permittivity at ~80K, similar to those in (TMTTF)2X associated with charge ordering at ~100K. In the insulating state under low pressure, we found that the sample shows non-linear conduction with threshold. We discuss the possible origin of the anomalies and the apparent similarity with the non-linear electric conduction by the density wave sliding.

A Charge

Domain walls (DWs) are singularities in an ordered medium that often host exotic phenomena such as charge ordering, insulator-metal transition, or superconductivity. The ability to locally write and erase DWs is highly desirable, as it allows one to design material functionality by patterning DWs in specific configurations. We demonstrate such capability at room temperature in a charge density wave (CDW), a macroscopic condensate of electrons and phonons, in ultrathin 1T-TaS2. A single femtosecond light pulse is shown to locally inject or remove mirror DWs in the CDW condensate, with probabilities tunable by pulse energy and temperature. Using time-resolved electron diffraction, we are able to simultaneously track anti-synchronized CDW amplitude oscillations from both the lattice and the condensate, where photoinjected DWs lead to a red-shifted frequency. Our demonstration of reversible DW manipulation may pave new ways for engineering correlated material systems with light.

A Charge

Iron ludwigite exhibits a superstructure between 283 and 144 K. Anomalies in its transport properties are due to a structural transition related to a charge-ordering phenomenon in the low-dimensional structure. This ordering produces a commensurate transversal charge density wave in the system. To understand these structural characteristics, an X-ray single-crystal diffraction study has been performed at 300 and 15 K. No changes were found in the crystalline structure, except for contraction of the cell volume. The bond-valence sum for each cation shows that at room temperature each Fe4—Fe2—Fe4 triad is composed of three Fe3+ions with one extra electron per triad, and at 15 K in each Fe4a—Fe2—Fe4btriad the extra electron is accommodated in the Fe4a—Fe2 pair of each triad.

ABSTRACTIn the context of spectral-hole burning experiments in 4H- and 6H-SiC doped with vanadium the energy positions of the V4+/5+ level in both polytypes were determined in order to resolve discrepancies in literature. From these numbers the band offset of 6H/4H-SiC is calculated by using the Langer-Heinrich rule, and found to be of staggered type II. Furthermore the experiments show that thermally stable electronic traps exist in both polytypes at room temperature and considerably above, which may result in longtime transient shifts of electronic properties.

Tetramethyl-tetraselenafulvalene (TMTSF) and bis(ethylenedithio)-tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF) are flagship precursors in the field of molecular (super)conductors. The electrocrystallization of these donors in the presence of (n-Bu4N)TaF6 or mixtures of (n-Bu4N)TaF6 and (n-Bu4N)PF6 provided Bechgaard salts formulated as (TMTSF)2(TaF6)0.84(PF6)0.16, (TMTSF)2(TaF6)0.56(PF6)0.44, (TMTSF)2(TaF6)0.44(PF6)0.56 and (TMTSF)2(TaF6)0.12(PF6)0.88, together with the monoclinic and orthorhombic phases δm-(BEDT-TTF)2(TaF6)0.94(PF6)0.06 and δo-(BEDT-TTF)2(TaF6)0.43(PF6)0.57, respectively. The use of BEDT-TTF and a mixture of (n-Bu4N)TaF6/TaF5 afforded the 1:1 phase (BEDT-TTF)2(TaF6)2·CH2Cl2. The precise Ta/P ratio in the alloys has been determined by an accurate single crystal X-ray data analysis and was corroborated with solution 19F NMR measurements. In the previously unknown crystalline phase (BEDT-TTF)2(TaF6)2·CH2Cl2 the donors organize in dimers interacting laterally yet no organic-inorganic segregation is observed. Single crystal resistivity measurements on the TMTSF based materials show typical behavior of the Bechgaard phases with room temperature conductivity σ ≈ 100 S/cm and localization below 12 K indicative of a spin density wave transition. The orthorhombic phase δo-(BEDT-TTF)2(TaF6)0.43(PF6)0.57 is semiconducting with the room temperature conductivity estimated to be σ ≈ 0.16–0.5 S/cm while the compound (BEDT-TTF)2(TaF6)2·CH2Cl2 is also a semiconductor, yet with a much lower room temperature conductivity value of 0.001 to 0.0025 S/cm, in agreement with the +1 oxidation state and strong dimerization of the donors.

Before And After

MIL-101, a metal-organic framework material, was synthesized by the high-temperature hydrothermal method. Triethylenetetramine (TETA) modification enabled the effective grafting of an amino group onto the surface of the materials and their pore structure. The crystal structure, micromorphology, specific surface area, and pore structure of the samples before and after modification were analyzed with an X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope, specific surface and aperture tester, and infrared spectrometer. The carbon dioxide adsorption properties of the samples were determined by a thermal analyzer before and after TETA modification. Results show that moderate amino modification can effectively improve the microporous structure of MIL-101 and its carbon dioxide adsorption properties. After modification, the capacity of MIL-101 to adsorb carbon dioxide decreased only by 0.61 wt%, and a high adsorption capacity of 9.45 wt% was maintained after six cycles of adsorption testing at room temperature and ambient pressure.

A numerical study of non-linear, high amplitude standing waves in non-cylindrical circular resonators is reported here. These waves are shock-less and can generate peak acoustic overpressures that can exceed the ambient pressure by three/four times its nominal value. A high fidelity compressible computational fluid dynamic model is used to simulate the phenomena in cylindrical and arbitrarily shaped axisymmetric resonators. A right circular cylinder and frustum of cone are the two geometries studied. The model is validated using past numerical and experimental results of standing waves in cylindrical resonators. The non-linear nature of the harmonic response of the frustum of cone resonator system is investigated for two different working fluids (carbon dioxide and argon) operating at various values of piston amplitude. The high amplitude non-linear oscillations demonstrated can be used as a prime mover in a variety of applications including thermoacoustic cryocooling.
