A mesoporous template route to the low-temperature preparation of efficient green light emitting Zn2SiO4:Mn phosphors.

Green light emitting Zn2SiO4:Mn phosphors have been prepared via a low-temperature solid-state reaction using mesoporous silica SBA-15 template. This mesoporous silica template method features low-temperature formation of phosphors and easy doping. The structure and morphology of the phosphors were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, and N2 adsorption/desorption techniques, which confirmed the single crystallinity, ordered mesostructure, closed pore channels, and elongated ropelike morphology. The luminescent properties were examined by photoluminescence spectroscopy at room temperature, and the results of fluorescence decay time measurements show non-single-exponential decay behavior and a decrease of the decay time with an increase of the Mn concentration.

Template guided self-assembling two-dimensional array of Au@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles for room-temperature single electron transistors.

The composite nanoparticles of a gold core capped by a SiO2 shell with well-controlled thickness have been synthesized and fabricated into two-dimensional array on silicon surface by a simple self-assembly method combined with an AFM nanolithography technique. Current-voltage measurements of the Au@SiO2 composite nanoparticles (shell thickness of 6 nm) show a well-pronounced Coulomb staircase with a period of 300 mV at room temperature, demonstrating single electron transistor behavior. The step width of the Coulomb staircase can be tuned by controlling the thickness of SiO2 shell. The tunable single electron tunneling properties make the 2D array of Au@SiO2 composite nanoparticles an ideal candidate for planar single electron transistor devices.
