One of the stages in the semiconductor materials technology is chemical treatment of the crystal surface. Etching solutions used for this purpose often contain halogens or compounds based on them. To reduce the dissolution rate of the semiconductor during its etching, a viscous component, such as glycerol, ethylene glycol, etc., is often added to the etching compositions. The paper studied the features of chemical interaction of CdTe and Cd0,96Zn0,04Te, oriented in different crystallographic directions of iodine-containing etchants based system I2 - CH3OH. The influence of ethylene glycol on the results of chemical-dynamic and chemical-mechanical polishing of these semiconductor materials has been clarified. The concentration dependence of the rate of chemical-dynamic and chemical-mechanical polishing of CdTe (111) B, CdTe (110), Cd0,96Zn0,04Te (211) A and Cd0,96Zn0,04Te (110) surfaces was studied. It is shown that the addition of ethylene glycol to solutions of the I2 - methanol system significantly slows down the dissolution rate of both CdTe and Cd0,96Zn0,04Te samples. The addition of only 16 vol.% ethylene glycol into basic solution slows down the interaction more than two times, although a further decrease in the etching rate with increasing ethylene glycol content is not so rapid. Only solutions with an ethylene glycol content not exceeding 40% (chemical-dynamic polishing) and 50% (chemical-mechanical polishing) have polishing properties. The use of solutions with higher ethylene glycol content causes the appearance of a light blue film on their surface, which does not disappear even after careful postoperative treatment. It is shown that the surface roughness of both CdTe and Cd0,96Zn0,04Te after its chemical-mechanical polishing does not exceed 10 nm. This is a characteristic of its high quality and makes it possible to recommend ethylene glycol-modified etchants of the I2 - CH3OH system for chemical-mechanical polishing of the surface of cadmium telluride and solid solutions based on it.","PeriodicalId":9913,"journal":{"name":"Chernivtsi University Scientific Herald.

Two methods of heat treatment were used for thermography of alloys, which allowed investigating their thermal properties. One of the methods of thermography of samples was to heat them to the maximum temperature at which they were kept for a certain time, followed by cooling of the sample. The data obtained by this type of thermography allow obtaining graphs which characterized the crystallization parameters of the melt Cd0.80Mn0.20Te. It is shown that the crystallization of the Cd0.80Mn0.20Te melt occurs without supercooling at its overheating less than 14 °С in comparison with the beginning of melting temperature, which indicates the two-phase melt. It is also shown that the crystallization rate of the Cd0.80Mn0.20Te melt increases with decreasing crystallization temperature. Thermography of alloys by the second method of heat treatment is to conduct a series of isothermal holding during heating of the samples to the maximum temperature (1150 °C). Thus, the parameters of alloy melting were investigated. It was determined that the volume fraction of solid phase in the Cd0.80Mn0.20Te melt decreases from 100% to 0% in the temperature range 1078-1095 °С. Based on the obtained data of differential thermal analyses the Cd0.80Mn0.20Te ingot was grown under controlled conditions. After cutting this crystal we can see several monocrystalline areas of different sizes. IR microscope showed that the minimum number of inclusions <7 mm in diameter distributed in different parts of the sample The value of the band gap in all samples ranges from 1.78 to 1.80 eV. The value of the resistivity of the crystal Cd0.80Mn0.20Te is 2•107 Ohm • cm at the beginning of the ingot and decreases by 2 orders of magnitude by the end of the ingot.","PeriodicalId":9913,"journal":{"name":"Chernivtsi University Scientific Herald.

However the nature of radiative recombination pathways definition and effect of synthesis conditions on spectral characteristics of the nanocrystals investigation remains an important task. In the present work influence of the cation precursors ratio as well as the heat treatment duration on the composition, optical properties and photostability of AgInS2 and AgInS2/ZnS nanocrystals synthesized in aqueous media have been investigated. Due to the low reactivity of indium salts in aqueous solution coused by formation of a stable complexes with stabilizer or hydroxycomplexes the nearest stoichiometric Ag1,1InSx quantum dots are formed at the initial [In]:[Ag] ratio 7:1. Under high excess of Ag formation of Ag2S/AgInS2 core/shell quantum dots confirming by presence of large 12-15 nm nanocrystals and red shift of the photoluminescence maximum with increasing [In]:[Ag] ratio from 1 to 3 (shell thickness should increase proportionally) is possible. With a further increase of the [In]:[Ag] ratio the absorption edge and the photoluminescence maximum are green shifted indicating increase of the quantum dots band energy. That can be explained by lowering of the valence band ceiling energy and rising of the conduction band bottom energy due to decrease of density of states of Ag 4d orbitals and increase of density of states of In 5s and 5p orbitals involved in the AgInS2 band gap formation. Increase of Indium content leads to significant increase of the photoluminescence intensity of AgInS2 nanocrystals eliminating nonradiative defects such as Agi. It have been shown that the ZnS shell epitaxial grow occurs due to the cation exchange between Zn2+ and In3+ and takes place only at low concentration of Zinc precursor ([Zn]:[Ag] ≤ 4). With further enhancement of the ratio the solid solution of AgInS2-ZnS is forming. To achieve the highest possible photoluminescence intensity and energy the AgInS2-ZnS nanocrystals should be heated at 950C at least for 120 minutes. It have been shown that the nearly stoichiometric Ag1,1InSx nanocrystals posess the highest photostability under UV light irradiation.","PeriodicalId":9913,"journal":{"name":"Chernivtsi University Scientific Herald.

Comparison of the absorption spectra of the dye solution and the reflectance spectra of the D/TiO2 heterostructures showed that the deposition of the dye on the TiO2 surface leads to bathochrome and hypochromic shifts of the absorption bands, the value of which depends on the content of this component in the heterostructure (HS). The obtained changes in the spectra of heterostructures indicate the possibility of formation of both J- and H-aggregates. Cyclic voltammetry determines the oxidation and reduction potentials of the investigated polymethine dye and calculates their redox potentials in the excited state. They have been found to be sufficient for sensitization by electron transfer to the TiO2 conduction band. The photocatalytic activity of HS D/TiO2 in the model reaction of methylene blue reduction depending on irradiation conditions and dye concentration has been determined. It is shown that, when irradiated with D/TiO2 heterostructures with light with λ <400 nm, their photocatalytic activity decreases with increasing dye content in the whole concentration range of the studied concentrations. When irradiated with heterostructures by light absorbed by the dye (λ = 872 nm), the photocatalytic activity increases to a maximum value at a concentration of the dye equal to 0,20 mg/g, and then decreases with increasing concentration. The energy of possible electronic processes caused by the action of light absorbed by a semiconductor and a dye-sensitizer is considered.

It is shown that the obtained values ​​of the potentials of the energy levels of the dyes differ little (the energy difference ranges from 0,22–0,53 eV). The possibility of using merocyanins as sensitizers of titanium(IV) oxide and the creation of photosensitive heterostructures has been made. In order to investigate the possibility of using the merocyanin dyes under study as TiO2 sensitizers, the energy of the «semiconductor – dye – reagents» systems was considered. For this purpose, we compared the redox characteristics of merocyanine dyes with the electrophysical parameters of titanium(IV) oxide, as well as the redox characteristics of the reaction participants. It is established that in such systems the processes of photon transfer of the electron from the dye to the semiconductor are necessary for sensitization, and the regeneration of the original form of the sensitizers by the action of the reducing agent on the cation radicals formed is thermodynamically allowed. The conclusion about the possibility of using the studied merocyanines as effective sensitizers was confirmed by the results of the study of the photocatalytic activity of D/TiO2 heterostructures in the reaction of methylene blue formaldehyde recovery under different irradiation conditions and at different dye concentrations.

Composition, size and shape of nanomaterials at the nanoscale determines its electronic, optical, magnetic, catalytic, etc. properties. Due to the unique optical and catalytic properties, noble metals nanoparticles (silver and gold ones) today are one of the most intensively studied types of nanoobjects. The properties of silver and gold nanoparticles are extremely important and promising for technological use in such areas as electronics, optics, solar energy, information storage, communications, biomedicine, environmental research and others. A number of promising applications of noble metal nanoparticles are due to the effect of localized surface plasmon resonance, which consists in the collective oscillation of conduction electrons relatively to the ions in metallic crystal lattice bounded by the nanoparticle surface at the resonant excitation frequency. The dimensional dependence of the basic physical and chemical properties of nanoparticles makes specific demands on the synthesis, which should provide the necessary particles’ diameter and size distribution, the possibility of surface functionalization, particles’ stability in the manufacturing process, subsequent storage and operation for its further practical application. Existing methods for obtaining noble metals nanoparticles, including physical, thermal, chemical, photochemical, electrochemical, etc. do not provide the required reproducibility or are too expensive for mass use. In addition, most currently known methods allow to obtain metal nanoparticles only with a wide distribution of shapes and sizes. Careful control of the reaction parameters, such as time, process temperature, stirring rate, concentration of reactans and stabilizing additives, allows to narrow the size distribution of nanoparticles, but not always to the desired limits. According to recent studies, monodisperse colloidal solutions of noble metals nanoparticles can be obtained by excitation of plasmon-stimulated reactions in the reaction mixture. This review, based on a rage of experimental studies, demonstrates how light can be used to control the processes of growth, shape and size of noble metals nanoparticles, and to convert heterogeneous populations of metal nanoparticles into populations with high monodispersity. The manifestation of localized surface plasmons in the optical spectra of metal nanoparticles of different sizes and shapes was also considered. In addition, there were also discussed photophysical processes, associated with the excitation of localized surface plasmon resonance in metal nanoparticles, which allow to control chemical reactions at the nanoscale, namely the photothermal effect; concentration of light near the surface of nanoparticles, which leads to an increase in the electromagnetic field and the intensity of the photon flux for molecules n","PeriodicalId":9913,"journal":{"name":"Chernivtsi University Scientific Herald.

The analysis of the optical absorption spectra and the luminescence intensity of the CdTe colloidal NCs showed that the nature of the dispersion medium significantly affects their optical properties. The optical absorption spectra of the CdTe NK fractions obtained by dissolving the flocs in deionized water and in deionized water with the addition of NaOH have been shown to have the same character. However, the addition of NaOH results in a shift of the absorption maximum by 8-12 nm into the longwave region. This suggested that the addition of NaOH to the colloidal solution of NK CdTe during sedimentation deposition leads to the aggregation of cadmium telluride particles. The addition of NaOH results in the quenching of photoluminescence. It can be assumed that during the sedimentation deposition there is a leaching of THC to a critical concentration, therefore, due to insufficient stabilization of the surface of the NC CdTe, a rapid aggregation of particles occurs and a loss of sedimentation stability of the solution is observed, which causes the PL quenching. The analysis of the optical absorption and photoluminescence spectra of the fractions of the colloidal solution of NC CdTe obtained by using DMF as a dispersion medium during the sedimentation deposition leads to the conclusion that the nature of the dispersion medium significantly affects the optical properties of CdTe NC. The maxima of the OP spectra corresponding to the first exciton transition of all fractions are shifted to the longwave region and change their shape compared to the corresponding spectra for the aqueous fractions. In this case, the PL intensity of the first and second fractions of CdTe NC in DMF is approximately 100 ppm. exceeds the PL intensity of the aqueous fractions, which can be explained by the fact that DMF, unlike deionized water, does not wash out THC from the surface of the CdTe NC.","PeriodicalId":9913,"journal":{"name":"Chernivtsi University Scientific Herald.

An express glucometer “One Touch Select Simple” was employed for the above tests. Then all the data were processed by MS Excel. As seen from the results of the biochemical investigations, a clear hypoglycemic activity has been registered for the compounds mentioned in this work.
