Melt synthesis and structural properties of opal-V2O5 and opal-VO2 nanocomposites

A method has been proposed for filling bulk and film opals with V₂O₅ and V₂O₅: W melts under the action of capillary forces.

Luminescence induced in diamond by He+ ion implantation into SiC/C composites with an inverse opal structure

The photoluminescence induced in diamond by helium ion implantation into SiC/C nanocomposite samples and their structure revealed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy have been investigated. It has been found that, apart from crystallites of silicon carbide, graphite, and amorphous carbon, in the structure of the composites there are spherical carbon particles containing concentric graphite-like shells (onion-like particles). It has been established that onion-like particles are formed during high-temperature treatment of SiC/C nanocomposites in the course of their preparation. It has been shown that, after the implantation with the subsequent thermal treatment, nanocomposite samples exhibit a luminescence characteristic of N-V centers in diamonds. The assumption has been made that the diamond crystallites are formed at the center of onion-like particles during high-temperature treatment of the composite.

Elasticity and inelasticity of biomorphic carbon,silicon carbide,and SiC/Si composite produced on the basis of medium density fiberboard

The amplitude and temperature dependences of the Young’s modulus and the internal friction (ultrasonic absorption) of biomorphic carbon, silicon carbide, and SiC/Si composite produced from medium density fiberboard (MDF) by pyrolysis (carbonization), followed by infiltration of molten silicon into the prepared carbon preform have been studied in the temperature range 100–293 K in air and under vacuum. The measurements have been performed by the acoustic resonance method with the use of a composite vibrator for longitudinal vibrations at frequencies of approximately 100 kHz. The data obtained by acoustic measurements of the amplitude dependences of the elastic modulus have been used for evaluating the microplastic properties of samples under study. It has been shown that the Young’s modulus, the decrement of elastic vibrations, and the conventional microyield strength of the MDF samples differ from the corresponding data for previously studied similar materials produced from natural eucalyptus, beech, sapele, and pine woods. In particular, the desorption of environmental molecules at small amplitudes of vibrations, which is typical of biomorphic materials based on natural wood, is almost absent for the MDF samples. The results obtained have been explained by different structures and the influence of pores and other defects, which, to a large extent, determine the mechanical characteristics of the biomaterials under investigation.

Influence on SERS enhancement factor of the components of an artificial opal loaded with metal NPs: A systematic study

We have inquired about the influence of composite artificial opal components on its SERS enhancement factor (EF). Particularly, we considered metal (100 nm) and dielectric spheres (290 nm), and an excitation wavelength of 632 nm. We show that the electric field of a SiO₂ sphere is weaker and more uniform as its porosity increases. Additionally, a porous sphere promotes a lower EF compared to that of a non-porous sphere. The optical response of the composite opal is insensitive to the polarization state of the incident field. A SERS EF of 10⁴ is reachable with an opal loaded with Au or Ag NPs. In general, the dielectric spheres affect the SERS EF intensity of the metal NPs. From the optical spectra, we observed that with a 632 nm wavelength, the composite opal is out of resonance.     

Mid infrared band gap properties of 3-dimensional silicon inverse opal photonic crystal

By the solvent vaporization convection self-assembly method, 1.86 μm silica microspheres were assembled into a colloidal crystal template with long-range order. High refractive index silicon was then filled in the voids of the silica template by the low pressure chemical vapor deposition method. A 3-dimensional silicon inverse opal photonic crystal was obtained with a photonic band gap simulated by a plane wave expansion method. Its micro modality and photonic band gap properties were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform IR spectrometer. There was a good agreement between the measured spectra and the simulated results. The tilt-angle reflectance spectra showed that an obvious reflection peak at 3319 nm stayed in existence with different incidence directions. This result proved that silicon inverse opal has a complete photonic band gap in the mid infrared range. This study opens up an opportunity to create Si-based photonic crystal devices for atmosphere mid infrared photodetection.     

Effective photonic pseudogap of a two-phase composite opaline photonic crystal

We report the observation of suppression of the green photoluminescence from an optically active ZnO-infiltrated composite opal fabricated by electrodeposition templated on a self-assembled polystyrene opal. This is interpreted to be the consequence of an effective photonic pseudogap formed by the composite opaline photonic crystal. The effective pseudogap’s effect on emission of the composite opal, one ‘raw’ and one ‘inverted’, is simply the addition of the effect of each component opal, with no noticeable interaction effect, thus suggesting a simple route for engineering the photonic behavior of heterogeneous photonic crystals.

Chemical and phase compositions of silicon oxide films with nanocrystals prepared by carbon ion implantation

The chemical and phase compositions of silicon oxide films with self-assembled nanoclusters prepared by ion implantation of carbon into SiO _x (x < 2) suboxide films with subsequent annealing in a nitrogen atmosphere have been investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy in combination with depth profiling by ion sputtering. It has been found that the relative concentration of oxygen in the maximum of the distribution of implanted carbon atoms is decreased, whereas the relative concentration of silicon remains almost identical over the depth in the layer containing the implanted carbon. The in-depth distributions of carbon and silicon in different chemical states have been determined. In the regions adjacent to the layer with a maximum carbon content, the annealing results in the formation of silicon oxide layers, which are close in composition to SiO₂ and contain silicon nanocrystals, whereas the implanted layer, in addition to the SiO₂ phase, contains silicon oxide species Si²⁺ and Si³⁺ with stoichiometric formulas SiO and Si₂O₃, respectively. The film contains carbon in the form of SiC and elemental carbon phases. The lower limit of the average size of silicon nanoclusters has been estimated as ∼2 nm. The photoluminescence spectra of the films have been interpreted using the obtained results.     

Inverted yablonovite fabricated by the direct laser writing method and its photonic structure

Three-dimensional photonic crystals with an inverted yablonovite structure have been fabricated by the direct laser writing method based on the two-photon polymerization of a photosensitive material. The correspondence of the structure of the samples to the inverted yablonovite lattice has been confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. The photonic band structure of inverted yablonovite, as well as a number of related photonic materials with an fcc lattice, has been calculated. It has been found that the photonic properties of opal and yablonovite are opposite: the complete photonic band gap appears in inverted opal and direct yablonovite and is absent in direct opal and inverted yablonovite. A method for the fabrication of ideal three-dimensional photonic structures having the complete photonic band gap in the infrared and visible spectral ranges has been discussed.
