Growth of single-crystalline Ni and Co nanowires via electrochemical deposition and their magnetic properties

Single-crystalline Ni nanowires have been successfully fabricated with anodic aluminum oxide as template by electrodeposition. Structural characterization (X-ray diffraction, XRD, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, HRTEM) shows that the single-crystalline Ni nanowire has a preferred orientation along the [220] direction. The effects of electrochemical deposition conditions on the structure of Ni nanowires are systematically studied to investigate the growth mechanism. Possible reasons for the growth of the single-crystalline Ni nanowires were discussed on the basis of electrochemistry and thermodynamics. These single-crystalline Ni nanowires have exhibited excellent magnetic properties (large anisotropy, large coercivity, and high remanence). By a similar process, single-crystalline Co nanowires with hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure were achieved, also having large anisotropy, large coercivity (1.8 kOe), and high remanence ratio (80.8%).

Synthesis and characterization of indium-doped ZnO nanowires with periodical single-twin structures

In-doped ZnO (IZO) nanowires have been synthesized by a thermal evaporation method. The morphology and microstructure of the IZO nanowires have been extensively investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The products in general contain several kinds of nanowires. In this work, a remarkable type of IZO zigzag nanowire with a periodical twinning structure has been investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). HRTEM observation reveals that this type of IZO nanowire has an uncommonly observed zinc blend crystal structure. These nanowires, with a diameter about 100 nm, grow along the [111] direction with a well-defined twinning relationship and a well-coherent lattice across the boundary. In addition, an IZO nanodendrite structure was also observed in our work. A growth model based on the vapor-liquid-solid mechanism is proposed for interpreting the growth of zigzag nanowires in our work. Due to the heavy doping of In, the emission peak in photoluminescence spectra has red-shifted as well as broadened seriously.

Synthesis of ordered Al nanowire arrays

Ordered Al nanowire arrays with the same nanowire density but the diameters decrease radially embedded in one piece of anodic alumina membranes were successfully fabricated by two-step synthesis: electrodeposition of Zn and replacement in AlCl₃ solution. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and selected-area electron diffraction techniques were used to characterize the Al nanowires obtained. SEM and TEM images taken from the different areas of Al nanowire arrays show that we can control the growth of aligned Al nanowires with different diameters in a single process at the same time. The investigation results not only have potential applications in photoelectric devices but also open up a new method for fabricating nano-scale materials.

Photoluminescence and Raman scattering from catalytically grown Zn(x)Cd(1-x)Se alloy nanowires

Zn(x)Cd(1-x)Se alloy nanowires, with composition x = 0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.7, and 1, have been successfully synthesized by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method assisted with laser ablation. The as-synthesized alloy nanowires, 60-150 nm in diameter and several tens of micrometers in length, complied with a typical vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth mechanism. The Zn(x)Cd(1-x)Se nanowires are single crystalline revealed from high-resolution transmission electron microscopic (HRTEM) images, selected area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement. Compositions of the alloy nanowires can be adjusted by varying the precursor ratios of the laser ablated target and the CVD deposition temperature. Crystalline structures of the Zn(x)Cd(1-x)Se nanowires are hexagonal wurtzite at x = 0, 0.2, and 0.5 with the [0 1 -1 0] growth direction and zinc blende at x = 0.7 and 1 with the [1 -1 1] growth direction. Energy gaps of the Zn(x)Cd(1-x)Se nanowires, determined from micro-photoluminescence (PL) measurements, change nonlinearly as a quadratic function of x with a bowing parameter of approximately 0.45 eV. Strong PL from the Zn(x)Cd(1-x)Se nanowires can be tuned from red (712 nm) to blue (463 nm) with x varying from 0 to 1 and has demonstrated that the alloy nanowires have potential applications in optical and sensory nanotechnology. Micro-Raman shifts of the longitudinal optical (LO) phonon mode observed in the Zn(x)Cd(1-x)Se nanowires show a one-mode behavior pattern following the prediction of a modified random element isodisplacement (MREI) model.

Synthesis and synchrotron light-induced luminescence of ZnO nanostructures: nanowires, nanoneedles, nanoflowers, and tubular whiskers

ZnO nanostructures, including single-crystal nanowires, nanoneedles, nanoflowers, and tubular whiskers, have been fabricated at a modestly low temperature of 550 degrees C via the oxidation of metallic Zn powder without a metal catalyst. Specific ZnO nanostructures can be obtained at a specific temperature zone in the furnace depending on the temperature and the pressure of oxygen. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies show that ZnO nanostructures thus prepared are single crystals with a wurtzite structure. X-ray excited optical luminescence (XEOL) from the ZnO nanostructures show noticeable morphology-dependent luminescence. Specifically, ZnO nanowires of around 15 nm in diameter emit the strongest green light. The morphology of these nanostructures, their XEOL, and the implication of the results will be discussed.

XRD results show that the electrodeposition of Co is a mixture of crystal and microcrystal phase.
