spite effect
3.The investigation indicates that nano-structure has great effect on the optical property of SrAl2O4 and BaAl2O4. A simple reduction process can make these nano-particles show uniform adsorption throughout UV-VIS-NIR, in spite that their composition, crystal structure and morphology did not change after this process. Further study indicates that the unique optic performance is related to the concentration of oxygen vacancy in nano-particles.
