Synthesis of periodic hexagonal surfactant templated platinum tin tellurides: narrow band gap inorganic/organic composites.

چکیده
In this work we report the synthesis and characterization of a new nanostructured platinum/tin/telluride inorganic/surfactant composite. The material is synthesized from soluble SnTe(4)(4-) clusters and is shown to have well-defined nanometer scale periodicity along with unique optical properties. Small-angle X-ray scattering indicates that the material forms with a 2D hexagonal honeycomb structure, which is size tunable based on surfactant tail length. Multinuclear EXAFS is used as a probe of local order in these materials. The results indicate that the tetrahedral SnTe(4) unit dimerizes during assembly, and these clusters are coordinated to square planar platinum ions. Near-IR/visible reflectance spectroscopy indicates that the material is a narrow band gap semiconductor with a band gap of 0.8 eV. The extension of the ideas of surfactant templating to a narrow band gap semiconductor opens up the exciting potential for future optoelectronic applications.

متن کاملStudy of Silanolate Groups (SiO-) in Synthesis of Micelle Templated Silica with Various Condition of Cationic Surfactant
Based on the {S+, I-} pathway, the concentration of surfactant and surface charge density of silanolate groups control the phase transition from lamellar, to hexagonal through cubic form. The high surface charge density of silanolate groups was observed for the lamellar phase. With decrease of molar concentration of surfactant on the gel, the yield of...

Following to the recent development of the organic-templated growth of materials, new types of photonic hybrid composite materials have emerged whose structure and function are organized hierarchically. Ordered, periodic mesoscopic materials allow the construction of composites with many types of guest, such as organic molecules or polymers. These host–guest materials combine the high stability...
متن کاملExamining the role of surfactant packing in phase transformations of periodic templated silica/surfactant composites.
In this work, we examine the role of curvature and surfactant packing in controlling the structure of periodic silica/surfactant composites by driving such materials through a transformation from a hexagonal to a lamellar phase. We focus on how the interplay of desired packing and volume constraints dictates the resulting structures. In general, surfactants expand in a complex way upon heating,...

– X-ray reflectometry and GISAXS (grazing angle small angle scattering) are combined to investigate the morphology and structural parameters of a surfactant templated 2D hexagonal thin-film silica mesophase. It is shown that X-ray reflectivity measurements contain invaluable information about the radius of the cylindrical rods and the distance between their cores. The reflectivity data are anal...
