Direct processing of PbZr0.53Ti0.47O3 films on glass and polymeric substrates

This work reports on direct crystallization of PbZr_0.53Ti_0.47O₃ (PZT) thin films on glass and polymeric substrates, using pulsed thermal processing (PTP). Specifically, xenon flash lamps deliver pulses of high intensity, short duration, broadband light to the surface of a chemical solution deposited thin film, resulting in the crystallization of the film. Structural analysis by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy show the existence of perovskite structure in nano-sized grains (≤5 nm). Local functional analysis by band excitation piezoelectric spectroscopy and electrostatic force microscopy confirm the presence of a ferroelectric phase and retention of voltage-written polarization for multiple days. Based on structural and functional analyses, strategies are discussed for optimization of pulse voltage and duration for the realization of crystalline ferroelectric thin films. For ∼200 nm-thick PZT films on glass substrates, 500 μs-long pulses were required for crystallization, starting with 100 pulses at 350 V, 10 or 25 pulses at 400 V and in general lower number of pulses at higher voltages (resulting in higher radiant energy). Overall power densities of >6.4 kW/cm² were needed for appearance of peaks corresponding to the perovskite phase in the XRD. Films on glass processed at 350–400 V had a higher degree of 111-oriented perovskite grains. Higher applied radiant energy (through increased pulse voltage or count) resulted in more random and/or partially 001-oriented films. For ∼1 μm-thick PZT films on polymeric substrates, 10 to 25 250 μs-long pulses at voltages ranging between 200 to 250 V, corresponding to power densities of ∼2.8 kW/cm², were optimal for maximized perovskite phase crystallization, while avoiding substrate damage.

以物理气相传输法自支撑生长氮化铝单晶的表征

本文提出了以物理气相传输法自支撑生长氮化铝单晶的新方法，此方法可以在氮化铝烧结体表面一次性获得大量生长的氮化铝单晶。本研究中，在2373–2523 K的温度条件下经过100 h生长的氮化铝单晶，其最大尺寸为7 × 8 × 12 mm3，典型直径为5–7 mm。这些原生晶体的表面形貌及结晶质量分别通过扫描电子显微镜、拉曼光谱和高分辨X射线衍射进行表征分析。其中，拉曼光谱E2峰位的半高全宽为5.7 cm-1，高分辨X射线衍射得到的对称摇摆曲线的半高全宽为93.6角秒。经过选择性化学腐蚀后的晶体，其表面的平均腐蚀坑密度为7.5 × 104 cm-2。逸出气体分析和辉光放电质谱分析结果表明，碳和氧为晶体内部的主要杂质元素，含量分别为28 ppmw和120 ppmw。此方法为高质量氮化铝单晶的获取提供了一个新的途径，这些单晶可以被切成晶片作为后续氮化铝同质外延生长的优良籽晶。使用这些小的籽晶，我们首次成功制备出了直径高达60 mm的氮化铝单晶体/晶圆，并具有良好的深紫外光透过性。

Biosurfactant-and-Bioemulsifier Produced by a Promising Cunninghamella echinulata Isolated from Caatinga Soil in the Northeast of Brazil

A Mucoralean fungus was isolated from Caatinga soil of Pernambuco, Northeast of Brazil, and was identified as Cunninghamella echinulata by morphological, physiological, and biochemical tests. This strain was evaluated for biosurfactant/bioemulsifier production using soybean oil waste (SOW) and corn steep liquor (CSL) as substrates, added to basic saline solution, by measuring surface tension and emulsifier index and activity. The best results showed the surface water tension was reduced from 72 to 36 mN/m, and an emulsification index (E₂₄) of 80% was obtained using engine oil and burnt engine oil, respectively. A new molecule of biosurfactant showed an anionic charge and a polymeric chemical composition consisting of lipids (40.0% w/w), carbohydrates (35.2% w/w) and protein (20.3% w/w). In addition, the biosurfactant solution (1%) demonstrated its ability for an oil displacement area (ODA) of 37.36 cm², which is quite similar to that for Triton X-100 (38.46 cm²). The stability of the reduction in the surface water tension as well as of the emulsifier index proved to be stable over a wide range of temperatures, in pH, and in salt concentration (4%–6% w/v). The biosurfactant showed an ability to reduce and increase the viscosity of hydrophobic substrates and their molecules, suggesting that it is a suitable candidate for mediated enhanced oil recovery. At the same time, these studies indicate that renewable, relatively inexpensive and easily available resources can be used for important biotechnological processes.     

Angle-dependent photodegradation over ZnO nanowire arrays on flexible paper substrates

In this study, we grew zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowire arrays on paper substrates using a two-step growth strategy. In the first step, we formed single-crystalline ZnO nanoparticles of uniform size distribution (ca. 4 nm) as seeds for the hydrothermal growth of the ZnO nanowire arrays. After spin-coating of these seeds onto paper, we grew ZnO nanowire arrays conformally on these substrates. The crystal structure of a ZnO nanowire revealed that the nanowires were single-crystalline and had grown along the c axis. Further visualization through annular bright field scanning transmission electron microscopy revealed that the hydrothermally grown ZnO nanowires possessed Zn polarity. From photocatalytic activity measurements of the ZnO nanowire (NW) arrays on paper substrate, we extracted rate constants of 0.415, 0.244, 0.195, and 0.08 s^-1 for the degradation of methylene blue at incident angles of 0°, 30°, 60°, and 75°, respectively; that is, the photocatalytic activity of these ZnO nanowire arrays was related to the cosine of the incident angle of the UV light. Accordingly, these materials have promising applications in the design of sterilization systems and light-harvesting devices.

蜂窝夹层结构基板脱粘问题分析

蜂窝夹层结构基板经热真空试验后,其正面局部出现了鼓泡脱粘现象,脱粘形式有2种,一种为聚酰亚胺膜与网格面板脱粘,另一种为网格面板与加强板脱粘。通过对聚酰亚胺膜与网格面板脱粘界面的宏微观观察,确定两者在脱粘前粘接良好,为外力导致的脱粘;通过对网格面板与加强板脱粘界面的宏微观观察,及胶膜的红外光谱分析、DSC测试、挥发分测试,确定网格面板与加强板在脱粘前未形成良好的粘接,该不良粘接可能与设计、工艺控制有关,与胶膜质量无关。
