Large electrocaloric effects in single-crystal ammonium sulfate.

ABSTRACT: Electrocaloric (EC) effects are typically studied near phase transitions in ceramic and polymer materials. Here, we investigate EC effects in an inorganic salt, namely ammonium sulfate (NH4)2SO4, with an order-disorder transition whose onset occurs at 223?K on cooling. For a single crystal thinned to 50??m, we use a Maxwell relation to find a large isothermal entropy change of 30?J?K(-1)?kg(-1) in response to a field change of 400?kV?cm(-1) The Clausius-Clapeyron equation implies a corresponding adiabatic temperature change of 4.5?K.This article is part of the themed issue 'Taking the temperature of phase transitions in cool materials'.

Crystal structure of bis-(di-methyl-ammonium) hexa-aqua-cobalt(II) bis-(sulfate) dihydrate.

Project description:The title salt, (C2H8N)2[Co(H2O)6)](SO4)2·2H2O, is isotypic with (C2H8N)2[Ni(H2O)6)](SO4)2·2H2O. The Co-O bond lengths in the [Co(H2O)6](2+) complex cation show very similar distances as in the related Tutton salt (NH4)2[Co(H2O)6)](SO4)2 [average 2.093 (17) Å], but are significantly longer than in the isotypic Ni(II) compound (Δd ≃ 0.04 Å). The cobalt cation reaches an overall bond-valence sum of 1.97 valence units. The S-O distances are nearly equal, ranging from 1.454 (4) to 1.470 (3) Å [mean 1.465 (12) Å]; however, the O-S-O angles vary clearly from 108.1 (2) to 110.2 (2)° [average bond angle 109.5 (9)°]. The non-coordinating water mol-ecules and di-methyl-ammonium cations connect the sulfate tetrahedra and the [Co(H2O)6](2+) octa-hedron via O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds of weak up to medium strength into a three-dimensional framework whereby the complex metal cations and sulfate anions are arranged in sheets parallel to (001).

Crystal structure of bis-(di-methyl-ammonium) hexa-aqua-nickel(II) bis-(sulfate) dihydrate.

Project description:In the title salt, (C2H8N)2[Ni(H2O)6)](SO4)2·2H2O, the Ni(II) cation is located on a centre of inversion and exhibits a slightly distorted octa-hedral arrangement of water mol-ecules. The Ni-O bond lengths in the complex [Ni(H2O)6](2+) cation show a distribution as in the related Tutton salt (NH4)2[Ni(H2O)6](SO4)2, but are longer in average [2.056?(13) versus 2.037?(12)?Å]. The noncoordinating water mol-ecules and di-methyl-ammonium cations connect the sulfate and [Ni(H2O)6](2+) octa-hedra via O-H?O and N-H?O hydrogen bonds from weak up to medium strength into a three-dimensional framework whereby the complex metal cations and sulfate anions are arranged in sheets parallel (001).

Tris(diisopropyl-ammonium) hydrogensulfate sulfate.

Project description:The cations and anions of the title salt, 3C(6)H(16)N(+)·HSO(4) (-)·SO(4) (2-), are linked by N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network. The hydrogensulfate ion, with a single S-O(H) bond of 1.563 (2) Å, forms a short O-H⋯O hydrogen bond [O⋯O = 2.609 (2) Å] to the sulfate ion. The hydrogensulfate ion accepts two hydrogen bonds from two cations, whereas the sulfate ion, as an acceptor, binds to four cations. The sulfate ion is disordered approximately equally over two sites related by rotation around one of the O-S bonds.

Large area single crystal gold of single nanometer thickness for nanophotonics.

Project description:Two-dimensional single crystal metals, in which the behavior of highly confined optical modes is intertwined with quantum phenomena, are highly sought after for next-generation technologies. Here, we report large area (>104 μm2), single crystal two-dimensional gold flakes (2DGFs) with thicknesses down to a single nanometer level, employing an atomic-level precision chemical etching approach. The decrease of the thickness down to such scales leads to the quantization of the electronic states, endowing 2DGFs with quantum-confinement-augmented optical nonlinearity, particularly leading to more than two orders of magnitude enhancement in harmonic generation compared with their thick polycrystalline counterparts. The nanometer-scale thickness and single crystal quality makes 2DGFs a promising platform for realizing plasmonic nanostructures with nanoscale optical confinement. This is demonstrated by patterning 2DGFs into nanoribbon arrays, exhibiting strongly confined near infrared plasmonic resonances with high quality factors. The developed 2DGFs provide an emerging platform for nanophotonic research and open up opportunities for applications in ultrathin plasmonic, optoelectronic and quantum devices.

Crystal structure of tris-(piperidinium) hydrogen sulfate sulfate.

Project description:In the title molecular salt, 3C5H12N(+)·HSO4 (-)·SO4 (2-), each cation adopts a chair conformation. In the crystal, the hydrogen sulfate ion is connected to the sulfate ion by a strong O-H?O hydrogen bond. The packing also features a number of N-H?O hydrogen bonds, which lead to a three-dimensional network structure. The hydrogen sulfate anion accepts four hydrogen bonds from two cations, whereas the sulfate ion, as an acceptor, binds to five separate piperidinium cations, forming seven hydrogen bonds.

Large Electrocaloric Effect in Relaxor Ferroelectric and Antiferroelectric Lanthanum Doped Lead Zirconate Titanate Ceramics.

Project description:Both relaxor ferroelectric and antiferroelectric materials can individually demonstrate large electrocaloric effects (ECE). However, in order to further enhance the ECE it is crucial to find a material system, which can exhibit simultaneously both relaxor ferroelectric and antiferroelectric properties, or easily convert from one into another in terms of the compositional tailoring. Here we report on a system, in which the structure can readily change from antiferroelectric into relaxor ferroelectric and vice versa. To this end relaxor ferroelectric Pb0.89La0.11(Zr0.7Ti0.3)0.9725O3 and antiferroelectric Pb0.93La0.07(Zr0.82Ti0.18)0.9825O3 ceramics were designed near the antiferroelectric-ferroelectric phase boundary line in the La2O3-PbZrO3-PbTiO3 phase diagram. Conventional solid state reaction processing was used to prepare the two compositions. The ECE properties were deduced from Maxwell relations and Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire (LGD) phenomenological theory, respectively, and also directly controlled by a computer and measured by thermometry. Large electrocaloric efficiencies were obtained and comparable with the results calculated via the phenomenological theory. Results show great potential in achieving large cooling power as refrigerants.

Bis(tetra-methyl-ammonium) thio-sulfate tetra-hydrate.

Project description:The anion of the title salt, 2C(4)H(12)N(+)·S(2)O(3) (2-)·4H(2)O, possesses approximate C(3v) symmetry. The water mol-ecules themselves engage in hydrogen bonding, forming a ribbon running along the a axis; adjacent chains are linked to the thio-sulfate anions by hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. The cavities in the network are occupied by the tetra-methyl-ammonium counter ions.
