衬底温度对低功率直流磁控溅射ZnO薄膜特性的影响

采用低功率直流反应磁控溅射法,在Si衬底上成功制备出了具有高c轴择优取向的ZnO薄膜,利用X射线衍射仪、荧光分光光度计研究了沉积温度对ZnO薄膜微观结构及光致发光特性的影响.结果表明,合适的衬底温度有利于提高ZnO薄膜结晶质量;在室温下测量样品的光致发光谱(PL),观察到波长位于440nm左右和485nm左右的蓝色发光峰及527nm左右微弱的绿光峰,随衬底温度升高,样品的PL谱中蓝光强度都明显增大,低功率溅射对其蓝光发射具有很重要的影响.综合分析得出440nm左右的蓝光发射应与Zni有关,485nm附近的蓝光发射是由于氧空位形成的深施主能级上电子跃迁到价带顶的结果,而527nm左右的较弱的绿光发射主要来源于导带底到氧错位缺陷能级的跃迁.生长温度主要是通过改变薄膜中缺陷种类及浓度而影响着ZnO薄膜的发光特性的.

Synthesis and characterization of nanocrystalline gaN by ammonothermal method using CsNH2 as mineralizer

Nanocrystalline GaN was ammonothermally synthesized at 430 degrees C with CsNH2 as mineralizer. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the nanocrystalline GaN were of hexagonal structure. The average diameter of nanocrystalline GaN was about 4.5 nm according to Scherer's formula using the full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of the (110) peak. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) observation confirmed the size distribution and phase state of the GaN nanocrystals. The calculated lattice parameters obtained both from XRD and High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) were a = 3.197 A, c = 5.195 A, which were larger than the highly crystallized GaN bulk crystal. Room temperature photoluminescence (PL) measurement exhibited a weak band-edge emission at about 390 nm (3.18 eV), indicating an obvious red-shift from the bandgap of bulk GaN (3.39 eV). A green luminescence (GL) emission located at 485 nm (2.56 eV) and a yellow luminescence (YL) defect-related emission peak centered at 553 nm (2.24 eV) were also observed. The advantage of using CsNH2 as mineralizer for growth GaN, the possible origins of the red-shift of bandgap, YL and GL band were discussed. The red-shift of the bandgap of the as-synthesized GaN nanocrystals was possibly attributed to the expansion of lattice parameters.

Size-dependent optical properties of SnO2 nanoparticles prepared by soft chemical technique

SnO2 nanoparticles with uniform size and well crystallinity were prepared by using soft chemical technique. Surfactant was used to control the growth and agglomeration of the SnO2 nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction patterns and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the structures of SnO2 nanoparticles before and after thermal annealing. It is found that the size of SnO2 nanoparticles can be controlled by changing the preparation parameters and post-thermal annealing temperatures (400 degrees C-1000 degrees C). The optical band gap of SnO2 particles was enlarged compared to its bulk counterpart and the red-shift of the optical band gap with the particle size was observed which can be attributed to quantum size effect. A broad photoluminescence band in a range of 350-550 nm associating with the defect states on the SnO2 particle surface was detected and the intensity was significantly enhanced after the thermal annealing while the size-dependent luminescence excitation spectra were also observed.     

Interaction between a surface defect and grain size under high cycle fatigue loading: Experimental approach for Armco iron

The design of metallic cast parts requires a compromise between the fatigue resistance of the component and the allowable defect size due to the process. Treatment of defect sensitivity coupled with intrinsic length scales of grains or other microstructure attributes is ultimately necessary to form a predictive basis for defect size effects in forming and growing small defect cracks. This work presents experimental results on high cycle fatigue behavior of specimens containing a surface hemispherical defect under uniaxial tension loading for a wide range of notch size to grain size ratios, including cases where the notch size is on the order of, or even smaller, than the grain size. The influence of grain size on the fatigue strength is clearly demonstrated and the corresponding effects are evaluated. This paper shows that for the same specimen geometry, loading conditions and defect morphology, the fatigue limit is directly dependent on the relationship between the defect size and the grain size. Dimensionless Kitagawa diagram shows that the defect size which impacts the fatigue limit is greater than 0.7 times the grain size in the Armco iron and greater than three times the grain size in other steels.     

Increased sensitivity of surface plasmon resonance of gold nanoshells compared to that of gold solid colloids in response to environmental changes

Gold nanoshells have been synthesized by reacting aqueous HAuCl4 solutions with solid templates such as silver nanoparticles. The morphology, void space, and wall thickness of these hollow nanostructures were all determined by the templates, which were completely converted into soluble species during the replacement reaction. The surface plasmon peaks of these gold nanoshells were considerably red-shifted as compared to gold solid colloids having approximately the same dimensions. In addition, the surface plasmon resonance of gold nanoshells exhibited a much more sensitive response toward environmental changes even when compared with solid colloids with a mean size much smaller than that of gold nanoshells. For example, the sensitivity factor (i.e., the shift in peak position per unit change in the refractive index of the surrounding medium) was 408.8, 60.0, and 70.9 nm per refractive index unit for gold nanoshells with a mean diameter of 50 nm and wall thickness of 4.5 nm, gold solid colloids of 50 nm in diameter, and gold solid colloids of 30 nm in diameter, respectively. The formation of alkanethiolate self-assembled monolayers on their surfaces caused the plasmon peaks to red-shift by 3.0 nm per methylene unit for gold nanoshells and 0.2 nm per methylene unit for solid colloids with a mean size of 50 nm. Such enhanced sensitivities should make gold nanoshells particularly useful as optical probes for chemical or biological binding events at solid-liquid interfaces.     

核壳结构型ZnS包覆ZnS：Cu的合成及其发光性能研究

利用液相化学方法并添加有机表面活性剂合成了ZnS：Cu／ZnS核壳结构,X射线衍射表明,所合成的ZnS具有闪锌矿结构,随着ZnS包覆量的增加,核壳结构尺寸增大并在紫外-可见光谱图中的吸收峰出现红移,荧光光谱中,该纳米材料在510nm处出现荧光发射峰,主要是由于Cu2＋在t2能级上的复合跃迁。作为表面钝化层,ZnS的包覆有效地降低了晶体中Cu2＋的无辐射复合,并明显改善了znS：Cu的发光强度和发光寿命。     

Structural and textural study of electrodeposited zinc from alkaline non-cyanide electrolyte

Pulse electrodeposition was used to produce zinc deposits from an alkaline non-cyanide electrolyte with additives. The influence of additives’ concentration and pulse parameters, such as ON-time, OFF-time, and pulse peak current density on the grain size, surface morphology, and crystal orientation were investigated. In an additive-free electrolyte, increase in OFF-time at constant ON-time and peak current density decreases the grain size while the latter increases with increasing ON-time at constant OFF-time and peak current density. A progressive decrease of grain size was observed with increasing peak current density up to 5 Adm⁻² at constant ON-time and OFF-time in both additive-free electrolyte and bath containing additives. Zinc with an average crystallite size of 34 nm was obtained at 5 Adm⁻² from electrolyte containing additives. The preferred orientation of the zinc deposits obtained at 6 ms (ON-time), 51.5 ms (OFF-time) and 5 Adm⁻² (peak current density) with electrolyte containing additives was prismatic [10.0] plane.
