Influence of Plasma Instabilities in Ceramic Suspension Plasma Spraying

Direct current Suspension Plasma Spraying (SPS) allows depositing finely structured coatings. This article presents an analysis of the influence of plasma instabilities on the yttria-stabilized suspension drops fragmentation. A particular attention is paid to the treatment of suspension jet or drops according to the importance of voltage fluctuations (linked to those of the arc root) and depending on the different spray parameters such as the plasma forming gas mixture composition and mass flow rate and the suspension momentum. By observing the suspension drops injection with a fast shutter camera and a laser flash sheet triggered by a defined transient voltage level of the plasma torch, the influence of plasma fluctuations on jet or drops fragmentation is studied through the deviation and dispersion trajectories of droplets within the plasma jet. This article is an invited paper selected from presentations at the 2007 International Thermal Spray Conference and has been expanded from the original presentation. It is simultaneously published in Global Coating Solutions, Proceedings of the 2007 International Thermal Spray Conference, Beijing, China, May 14-16, 2007, Basil R. Marple, Margaret M.

Processing of alumina and zirconia nano-powders and compacts

Magnesia–doped alumina and yttria–doped zirconia nano-powders were synthesized using sucrose as a chelating agent and template material from the aqueous solutions of aluminium nitrate, magnesium nitrate, ytrrium nitrate and zirconyl nitrate, respectively. Synthesis parameters were optimized with varying sucrose to metal ion ratio, calcinations time, and temperature to produce these nano-powders. As-synthesized powders were characterized by room temperature X-ray diffraction, BET surface area analyzer and transmission electron microscopy. Y₂O₃–ZrO₂ nano-powders had particle size in the range of 80–200 nm with specific average surface area of 119 m²/g and for MgO–Al₂O₃ powders, particle sizes were 30–200 nm with the specific average surface area of 250 m²/g. Our results indicate that this synthesis method is a versatile one and can be applied to a variety of oxide-based materials to form nano-powders. Nano-powders were compacted uniaxially and densified in a muffle furnace. Sintered discs were used for hardness testing and density measurements, as well as for microstructural characterization.     

Influence of the target power on the microstructure and electrical properties of Al-doped ZnO thin films deposited at room temperature

The columnar structure and its formation process have a significant effect on the electrical properties of Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin film in-situ deposited at room temperature by magnetron sputtering method. The influences of RF power on the formation of the columnar structure and its regular pattern were systematically investigated. The RF power varied from 120 W to 240 W. The best quality AZO sample with the sheet resistance of 6.07 Ω/sq and average transmittance of 83.2% was obtained at 210 W (for 30 min). The analysis of crosses section images indicated that the columnar structure appeared earlier at higher RF power. The thickness at which the columnar structure began to appear didn't fluctuate at a fixed value. Furthermore, high RF power relatively contributed to reduce the thickness. The Drude's model was used for examining the correlation between optical and electrical behaviors, and the theoretical results of electrical properties were well matched with the experimental data. According to the XRD results and XPS analysis, the appearance of Al₂O₃ may exert a significant influence on the deterioration in electrical properties of the sample deposited at 240 W.     

Solution processed,vertically aligned,AZO nanocolumn array for chemiresistive sensor application with UV-enhanced sensitivity

In this work, a wide and highly sensitive chemiresistive sensor has been developed based on the AZO nanocolumn array film. This is meant for the room detection of H₂O₂ under UV illumination. A cost-effective one step multi-layers growth process was adopted for the synthesis of the AZO nanocolumn array. The experimental studies were done by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission and electron microscopy (TEM).Then X-ray diffraction confirmed that the AZO column array was closely packed, connected, vertically aligned, and polycrystalline, with a high surface area. This structure ensures better electrical conduction over random and separated nanostructures. The hall-effect measurement indicates that the AZO film was n-type, with high conductivity (3.60 × 10³ Ωcm), high carrier density (11.3 × 10²⁰cm⁻³) and with acceptable mobility (0.95 cm²/Vs). The x-ray photoemission spectroscopy suggests that the AZO film consists of a large amount of adsorbed oxygen-related species at the sheath layer of the thin-film, which is vital for sensors. By the UV light activation, sensors based on the AZO nanocolumn array exhibited enhanced H₂O₂ detection properties at room temperature. At a concentration from 15 μM to 30 mM, H₂O₂ sensitivity evaluated by relative response was remarkably increased from 15% to 36%. The operation under ambient conditions and wide range sensing shows that this chemiresistive AZO sensor is adequate for biomedical and environmental applications.
