Preparation of patterned boron nanowire films with different widths of unit-cell and their field emission properties

Large-area patterned films of boron nanowires(BNWs) are fabricated at various densities by chemical vapor deposition(CVD). Different widths of unit-cell of Mo masks are used as templates. The widths of unit-cell of Mo masks are100 μm, 150 μm, and 200 μm, respectively. The distance between unit cells is 50 μm. The BNWs have an average diameter of about 20 nm and lengths of 10 μm–20 μm. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy analysis shows that each nanowire has a β-tetragonal structure with good crystallization. Field emission measurements of the BNW films show that their turn-on electric fields decrease with width of unit-cell increasing.     

Full field and microregion deformation measurement of thin films using electronic speckle pattern interferometry and array microindentation marker method

Thin films now are widely used in micro devices and structures, such as MEMS, electronic packaging, micro sensors, and so on. Their performances highly affect the reliability of the devices. Therefore, it is important to investigate the deformation and the failure mechanism of thin films. In this paper, we present two experimental methods to measure the mechanical properties of thin films. In the first method, a double-field-of-view electronic speckle pattern interferometry system (ESPI) and an integrated deformation and load measurement system are employed, which allows in situ and real-time measurements of full-field deformations of the thin films and microforces under uniaxial tensile test. In the second method, the array microindentation markers were indented on the surface of the thin film using a nanoindenter and the microregion deformations of the tested thin films were measured. In the proposed methods, the tested thin films can be made of metals, oxide ceramics, and multi-layer composites of thickness from several tens micrometers to less than a micron, and the tensile loads from 88 μN to 15 N for the first method or up to 100 N to the second one. The underlying principle of the methods and the experimental set-ups are presented. The deformations of Au and Au/Cr multi-layer films, and the pure Ni films are measured. The performance of the methods and the testing systems are also discussed.     

A micro/nanocasting method for replicating soft micro/nanosurface structures using a dynamic electrical field

We propose a new electric field-induced micro/nanocasting method to replicate soft patterns using micro/nanocasting techniques without pressure. The process uses an alternating current (AC) electrical field and rotation of one electrode, generating a dynamic electrical field that induces electrokinetic flow motion in a dielectric solution (polydimethylsilane, PDMS). We used a lotus leaf as a replication template and characterised the PDMS flow motion to observe the effects of various process parameters (e.g., electrical field strength, rotation speed of an electrode, and electrode shape). The unstable flow motion was significantly dependent on the processing parameters, especially the rotation speed of the electrode. Using the optimised processing conditions, the replication efficiency was about 88%. We believe that this method has potential for fabricating soft micro/nanosized structures.     

Characterization of stable hydrophobic carbon coating and its application in removing organic pollutants

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) thin films were deposited on Ni particles with a mean size of ～1 μm using chemical vapor deposition method. The thin films consisting of these PDMS-covered Ni particles showed a water contact angle higher than 160°, corresponding to the superhydrophobicity. These superhydrophobic films were found to be resistant toward acidic and basic media. The PDMS-covered Ni particles showed high affinity toward non-polar organic solvent such as toluene. Together with an external magnetic field, the PDMS-covered Ni can be used for separating water and toluene from a water/toluene heterogeneous mixture.

Specific features of the temperature characteristics of electrical conductivity and photoconductivity of polymer composites containing Cu(II)/Cr(III) heterometallic complexes

The temperature characteristics of the electric current and the photocurrent in films of composites based on electrically neutral poly(vinyl butyral) with additions of Cu(II)/Cr(III) heterometallic cation-anion complexes are investigated. The electrical conductivity and photoconductivity of the polymer composite films in the visible optical range increase with a decrease in the distance between the metal centers in the complexes and upon introduction of acceptor additions of the C₆₀ fullerene into the composition of the polymer binder and increase exponentially with increasing temperature. The activation energy of electrical conduction and photoconduction exceeds 1 eV and depends weakly on the strength of the external electric field. The temperature characteristics of the electrical conductivity and photoconductivity of the materials under investigation are explained by the specific features of trapping of charge carriers at the interface between particles of the heterometallic complex and the polymer binder.     

Polymeric microstructure arrays consequence of Marangoni flow-induced water droplets

This paper describes a cost-effective approach to fabricate intricate arrays of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and polymeric microstructures based on porous polystyrene (PS) films generated from arrays of water droplets. To start, a thin layer of ethanol film is exposed to a humid air flow. Upon the evaporation of ethanol and simultaneous condensation of water as the ethanol phase recedes, a Marangoni flow causes the flow of liquid from the ethanol phase into water fingers emerged along the receding contact line, which finally detach to form ordered water droplet arrays behind the receding contact line. The water droplet arrays are subsequently used as templates to generate porous PS films. The porous PS films are then used as sacrificial layers and masters to fabricate various arrays of PDMS dots and PDMS stamps with posts, respectively. The PDMS stamps containing various microstructures are further utilized to create polymer rings, PDMS dots, porous PDMS films, and PDMS aperture rings, and for contact printing of patterns of self-assembled monolayers.     

Submicron External Electro-optic Measuring System Based on an Electro-optic Solid Immersion Lens

In this paper, all electro-optic solid immersion lens (EOSIL) is introduced, which is made of GaAs. A reflecting external electro-optic measuring system based on the EOSIL is built. With a hemispherical GaAs EOSIL used as the external probe, 0.7 µm spot size is obtained when the wavelength of the probing beam from a laser diode is 1.3 µm and a microscope objective with 0.3 numerical aperture is used. The principle of the measuring system is analyzed by Jones matrix. By using the system, the electrical signals propagating on a microstrip transmission line are successfully measured. The voltage sensitivity about 5 mV/ is measured when 10 kHz sinusoidal electric signal is applied on the microstrip line.     

Preparation of Ga-doped ZnO films by pulsed dc magnetron sputtering with cylindrical rotating target for thin film solar cell applications

Applicability of Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) films for thin film solar cells (TFSCs) was investigated by preparing GZO films via pulsed dc magnetron sputtering (PDMS) with rotating target. The GZO films showed improved crystallinity and increasing degree of Ga doping with increasing thickness to a limit of 1000 nm. The films also fulfilled requirements for the transparent electrodes of TFSCs in terms of electrical and optical properties. Moreover, the films exhibited good texturing potential based on etching studies with diluted HCl, which yielded an improved light trapping capability without significant degradation in electrical propreties. It is therefore suggested that the surface-textured GZO films prepared via PDMS and etching are promising candidates for indium-free transparent electrodes for TFSCs.
