退火氛围对掺杂ZnO薄膜磁性的影响

采用直流磁控反应共溅法制备了非磁性元素Al和磁性元素Co掺杂的ZnO薄膜, 样品原位真空退火后再空气退火处理. 利用X射线衍射仪(XRD) 和物理性能测量仪(PPMS) 对薄膜的结构和磁性进行了表征. XRD和PPMS结果表明, 不同的退火氛围对掺杂薄膜的结构和磁性有着很大的影响. 真空退火的Al掺杂ZnO薄膜没有观察到铁磁性, 而空气退火的样品却显示出明显的室温铁磁性, 铁磁性的来源与空气退火后导致Al和ZnO基体间电荷转移增强有关. 而对于Co掺杂ZnO薄膜, 真空退火后再空气退火, 室温铁磁性明显减弱. 其磁性变化与Co离子和ZnO基体间电荷转移导致磁性增强和间隙Co原子被氧化导致磁性减弱有关.

Cd(S,Se)薄膜的结构及退火环境对其电导性能的影响

分析了两种Cd(S,Se)薄膜的结构特征.讨论了薄膜在不同退火环境中的电导率、迁移率和载流子浓度随退火温度的变化规律.结果表明,空气中退火的掺杂烧结膜电导率随退火温度升高而减小,主要由迁移率减小所致;氮气中退火的烧结膜电导率随退火温度升高而增大,主要是由载流子浓度增大引起的.蒸发膜在不同气氛下退火,电导都随温度升高而增大,同时迁移率和载流于浓度都有增加.在光激发下,氮气和空气中退火的掺杂烧结膜表现出相反的温度依赖关系.利用Seto模型计算的结果与实验值基本符合. 关键词：     

退火温度对Cr掺杂ZnO薄膜的微结构与机械性能的影响研究

本研究利用射频磁控溅镀法在玻璃基板上制备3 at.%的Cr掺杂ZnO薄膜,再以300℃～500℃温度退火处理25 mins,并探讨了退火温度对Al掺杂ZnO薄膜的微观结构与机械性能的影响.微观结构分析结果表明Cr掺杂ZnO薄膜的结晶方向为(002),且沿(002)方向的成长随退火温度升高而越加明显,但薄膜的表面却随退火温度升高而变得越来越粗糙.机械性能分析结果揭示晶粒尺寸随退火温度升高而增大,导致差排原子的动能随之降低,致使Cr掺杂ZnO薄膜的硬度随退火温度升高而增大,但对其对杨氏模量却没有太大的影响;此外,Cr掺杂ZnO薄膜的耐磨性与韧性均随退火温度升高而增强,表明退火处理对该薄膜的抗塑性形变能力有很大帮助.     

Al/ZnO:Al薄膜结构的荧光增强效应

The Al-doping and post-annealing treatment effects on the structural and optical properties of ZnO:Al thin films deposited on Si substrate

Al-doped ZnO (ZnO:Al) thin films with different Al contents were deposited on Si substrates using the radio frequency reactive magnetron sputtering technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements showed that the crystallinity of the films was promoted by appropriate Al content (0.75 wt.%). Then the ZnO:Al film with Al content of 0.75 wt.% was annealed in vacuum at different temperatures. XRD patterns revealed that the residual compressive stress decreased at higher annealing temperatures. While the surface roughness of the ZnO:Al film annealed at 300 °C became smoother, those of the ZnO:Al films annealed at 600 and 750 °C became rougher. The photoluminescence (PL) measurements at room temperature revealed a violet, two blue and a green emission. The origin of these emissions was discussed and the mechanism of violet and blue emission of ZnO:Al thin films were suggested. We concluded that the defect centers are mainly ascribed to antisite oxygen and interstitial Zn in annealed (in vacuum) ZnO:Al films.     

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study and thermoelectric properties of Al-doped ZnO thin films

In this paper, high quality Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films were prepared by direct current (DC) reactive magnetron sputtering using a Zn target (99.99%) containing Al of 1.5 wt.%. The films obtained were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and thermoelectric measurements. The XPS results reveal that Zn and Al exist only in oxidized state, while there are dominant crystal lattice and rare adsorbed oxygen for O in the annealed AZO thin films. The studies of thermoelectric property show a striking thermoelectric effect in the AZO thin films. On the one hand, the thermoelectromotive and magnetothermoelectromotive forces increase linearly with increasing temperature difference (ΔT). On the other hand, the thermoelectric power (TEP) decreases with the electrical resistance of the sample. But the TEP increases with the increase of temperature below 300 K, and it nearly does not change around room temperature. The experimental results also demonstrate that the annealing treatment increases TEP, while the external magnetic field degrades TEP.     

(Cu,Al)掺杂ZnO薄膜表面处缺陷的拉曼光谱研究

In-process ZnO thin films alloying during pulsed laser deposition

Alloyed ZnO:Al thin films were prepared by a pulsed laser deposition by the altering of two pure targets (ZnO and Al) during the deposition process. Two deposition temperatures (?197 °C and 400 °C) were applied and differences of diffusion dynamics were compared. As-grown layered films were annealed and aluminium distribution was homogenized. The results revealed that the amorphous structure (samples grown at ?197 °C) of ZnO provide more positive conditions for efficient Al diffusion in comparison with crystalline structure (samples grown at 400 °C). A detailed investigation by SIMS depth profiling confirmed a homogeneous chemical composition of annealed and recrystallized films which exhibited a porous nature and wurtzite crystalline structure.     

Structure distortion, optical and electrical properties of ZnO thin films co-doped with Al and Sb by so--gel spin coating

ZnO thin films co-doped with Al and Sb with different concentrations and a fixed molar ratio of AlCl₃ to SbCl₃ at 1:2, are prepared by a sol--gel spin-coating method on glass annealed at 550 ℃ for 2 h in air. The x-ray diffraction results confirm that the ZnO thin films co-doped with Al and Sb are of wurtzite hexagonal ZnO with a very small distortion, and the biaxial stresses are 1.03×10⁸, 3.26×10⁸, 5.23×10⁸, and 6.97×10⁸ Pa, corresponding to those of the ZnO thin films co-doped with Al and Sb in concentrations of 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, 6.0 at% respectively. The optical properties reveal that the ZnO thin films co-doped with Al and Sb have obviously enhanced transmittance in the visible region. The electrical properties show that ZnO thin film co-doped with Al and Sb in a concentration of 1.5 at% has a lowest resistivity of 2.5Ω·cm.     

Effects of different annealing atmospheres on the surface and microstructural properties of ZnO thin films grown on p-Si (1 0 0) substrates

Effects of different annealing atmospheres on the surface and microstructural properties of ZnO thin films grown on Si (1 0 0) substrates were investigated. X-ray diffraction results showed that the crystallinity of the ZnO thin film annealed in an oxygen atmosphere was better than that annealed in a nitrogen atmosphere. Atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images showed that the surfaces of the ZnO thin films annealed in a nitrogen atmosphere became very rough in contrast to those annealed in an oxygen atmosphere. High-resolution TEM images showed that many stacking faults and tilted grains could be observed in the ZnO thin films annealed in a nitrogen atmosphere in contrast to those annealed in an oxygen atmosphere. Surface morphology and microstructural property variations due to different annealing atmospheres in ZnO thin films are also described on the basis of the experimental results.     

Conversion of p-type to n-type conductivity in undoped ZnO films by increasing operating temperature

ZnO thin films with the thickness of about 15 nm on (0 0 0 1) sapphire substrates were prepared by pulsed laser deposition. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicated that both as-grown and post-annealed ZnO thin films were oxygen-rich. H₂ sensing measurements of the films indicated that the conductivity type of both the unannealed and annealed ZnO films converted from p-type to n-type in process of increasing the operating temperature. However, the two films showed different conversion temperatures. The origin of the p-type conductivity in the unannealed and annealed ZnO films should be attributed to oxygen related defects and zinc vacancies related defects, respectively. The conversion of the conductivity type was due to the annealing out of the correlated defects. Moreover, p-type ZnO films can work at lower temperature than n-type ZnO films without obvious sensitivity loss.     

退火温度对Cu:ZnO薄膜绿光发射的影响

利用溶胶-凝胶法在Si衬底上制备了不同退火温度的Cu:ZnO薄膜.利用X射线衍射(XRD)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、扫描电子显微镜和光致发光谱研究了样品的晶格结构、表面形貌、成分及其发光特性.结果表明:所有样品均具有高度的c轴择优取向,随着退火温度的升高,样品的结晶质量变好,样品的表面都被晶粒覆盖,强而稳定的绿光发射被观察到.绿光强度随退火温度的升高先增加后减小,发光中心位置不随退火温度的变化而改变,这样的绿光发射强而稳定.XRD和XPS结果表明,随退火温度的升高Cu2+还原为Cu+,导致Cu:ZnO薄膜形成的缺陷是VZn,所以绿光发射是由VZn引起的.Cu2+还原为Cu+时,Cu:ZnO薄膜中VZn浓度增加,使绿光发射强度增大.当退火温度超过800?C时,Cu2+的还原能力变差,绿光发射强度减弱.
