银纳米团簇在HOPG表面上的控制生长

由于银与高定向热解石墨(highly oriented pyrolytic graphite,HOPG)面间的相互作用很小,银在HOPG表面上的生长通常采取三维的Volmer-Weber模式,得到空间分布不均匀的银团簇。本文分别采用加热氧化和氩离子轰击来改变HOPG衬底的表面结构,并用扫描隧道显微镜(STM)研究了银在它们上面的生长过程。实验结果表明：在氩离子轰击过的HOPG表面上,可以得到大小基本一致、空间分布均匀的银纳米团簇,实现了银团簇的控制生长．氩离子轰击导致了平整的HOPG表面产生缺陷,这些缺陷对银原子的扩散进行限制并成为优先成核中心,最终形成均匀的银纳米团簇。     

量子阱态对Pb薄膜局域功函数的调制

理想的厚度均一的薄膜中，由于电子的运动在垂直于膜面方向受到限制，其能级会发生量子化，形成分立的能量本征态，即量子阱态。Pb／Si系统作为典型的量子阱态体系，由于Pb在[111]方向的层间距约为电子费米波长的1／4，所以Pb薄膜的厚度每变化一个单原子层都会引起费米面附近态密度的很大变化，从而导致其物理性质的变化。对此体系的研究表明Pb薄膜的许多物理性质，例如，超导转变温度、热膨胀系数及薄膜稳定性等均受到量子阱态的影响。     

Synthesis and characterization of well-aligned carbon nitrogen nanotubes by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition

Well-aligned carbon nitrogen nanotube films have been synthesized successfully on meso-porous silica substrates by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MWPCVD) method. Studies on their morphology, structure, and composition by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), respectively, indicate that these nanotubes consist of linearly polymerized carbon nitrogen nanobells, and the nitrogen atoms have been doped into carbon netweork to form a new structure C1-xNx( x = 0.16±0.01). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results of the samples further demonstrate that carbon bonds cova-lently with nitrogen in all the carbon nitrogen nanotube films.
