Transparent and conductive ZnO:Al thin films grown by pulsed magnetron sputtering in current or voltage regulation modes

Aluminium-doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films have been prepared by pulsed magnetron sputtering from a ceramic oxide target in pure argon atmosphere. Sputtering processes were performed in current or voltage regulation modes at different pulsing frequencies up to 200 kHz. Several growth parameters (discharge power, substrate temperature and growth rate) as well as AZO film properties (crystalline structure, optical transmittance and electrical characteristics) have been measured and analysed as a function of the current or voltage applied, the pulsing frequency and the operation time. By adjusting these deposition parameters, AZO layers with resistivity as low as 1.0×10⁻³ Ωcm and average visible transmittance above 85% have been obtained at growth rate in the range 70-80 nm/min, at substrate temperatures below 150 °C.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">In situ</Emphasis> synthesis of graphene oxide/gold nanorods theranostic hybrids for efficient tumor computed tomography imaging and photothermal therapy

Graphene oxide/gold nanorod (GO/GNR) nanohybrids were synthesized with a GO- and gold-seed-mediated in situ growth method at room temperature by mixing polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) functionalized GO, secondary growth solution, and gold seeds. Compared with ex situ preparation methods of GO/GNRs or graphene (G)/GNRs, the in situ synthesis of GO/GNRs addressed the issue of the aggregation of the GNRs before their attachment onto the GO. The method is straightforward and environment-friendly. The GO/GNRs showed a remarkable photothermal effect in vitro. The temperature of the GO/GNR nanohybrids increased from 25 to 49.9 °C at a concentration of 50 μg/mL after irradiation with an 808-nm laser (0.4 W/cm²) for 6 min. Additionally, the GO/GNRs exhibited good optical and morphological stability and photothermal properties after six cycles of laser irradiation. Upon injection of the GO/GNRs into xenograft tumors, excellent computed tomography (CT) imaging properties and photothermal effect were obtained. The preclinical CT agent iohexol was combined with the GO/GNRs and further enhanced CT imaging. Therefore, the GO/GNR nanohybrids have great potential for precise CT-image-guided tumor photothermal treatment.

Crystal structure, thermal expansion and electrical conductivity of Nd0.7Sr0.3Fe1−xCoxO3 (0≤x≤0.8)

The crystal structure, thermal expansion and electrical conductivity of the solid solution Nd_0.7Sr_0.3Fe_1−xCo_xO₃ for 0≤x≤0.8 were investigated. All compositions had the GdFeO₃-type orthorhombic perovskite structure. The lattice parameters were determined at room temperature by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). The pseudo-cubic lattice constant decreased continuously with x. The average linear thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) in the temperature range from 573 to 973 K was found to increase with x. The thermal expansion curves for all values of x displayed rapid increase in slope at high temperatures. The electrical conductivity increased with x for the entire temperature range of measurement. The calculated activation energy values indicate that electrical conduction takes place primarily by the small polaron hopping mechanism. The charge compensation for the divalent ion on the A-site is provided by the formation of Fe⁴⁺ ions on the B-site (in preference to Co⁴⁺ ions) and vacancies on the oxygen sublattice for low values of x. The large increase in the conductivity with x in the range from 0.6 to 0.8 is attributed to the substitution of Fe⁴⁺ ions by Co⁴⁺ ions. The Fe site has a lower small polaron site energy than Co and hence behaves like a carrier trap, thereby drastically reducing the conductivity. The non-linear behaviour in the dependence of log σT with reciprocal temperature can be attributed to the generation of additional charge carriers with increasing temperature by the charge disproportionation of Co³⁺ ions.     

PBS/氧化石墨烯复合薄膜的制备与性能

目的利用氧化石墨烯(GO)为填料制备聚丁二酸丁二醇酯(PBS)的增强复合薄膜材料。方法以生物可降解材料PBS为基体,以GO为纳米增强相,首先用双十二烷基二甲基溴化胺(DDAB)对GO进行修饰,进而通过溶液复合法制备PBS/GO复合薄膜,并对其力学性能、结晶熔融行为和热稳定性进行表征。结果力学性能测试表明,在GO质量分数为0.1%时,复合薄膜的拉伸强度和断裂伸长率较纯PBS分别提高了37%和25%,但是随着GO含量的继续增加,其拉伸强度和断裂伸长率都呈现出下降趋势;热行为分析表明,GO的加入使PBS的熔融温度和结晶温度均有所提高,结晶度有所下降,但GO对PBS的热稳定性并无明显影响。结论适量GO的加入有利于改善PBS生物降解材料的力学性能和结晶熔融行为。

Transparent conducting indium oxide thin films grown by low-temperature metal organic chemical vapor deposition

We have grown indium oxide thin films on silicon substrates at low temperature by metal organic chemical vapor deposition. Polycrystalline film growth could only be obtained at temperatures below 400 °C. Above 400 °C, metallic indium deposition dominated. We have investigated the effect of substrate temperature and reactor pressure on the film growth and structural properties in the range of 250-350 °C and 5 ^? 10³-4 ^? 10⁴ Pa. The film grown at 300 °C exhibited a resistivity of about 3.6 × 10^− 3 Ω cm and a maximal optical transmittance of more than 95% in the visible range. The film showed an optical band gap of about 3.6 eV.
