热退火、激光束和电子束等作用对纳米硅制备及其局域态发光特性的影响

在纳米晶体硅制备的过程中, 晶化处理是影响和提高纳米硅发光效率的重要制备环节. 热退火、激光退火和电子束辐照是使纳米硅样品晶化的不同方式. 实验表明: 选取适当的晶化方式和参量对制备纳米硅晶体结构至关重要, 特别是在制备硅量子点和量子面的过程中控制好参量, 可以得到较高的发光效率. 有趣的是, 在实验中发现: 当晶化时间较短(如低于20 min)时, 可以获得较好的纳晶硅结构(如量子点结构), 对应于较好的纳晶硅光致发光(PL)和掺杂局域态发光; 当晶化时间较长(如超过30 min)时, 纳米晶体硅结构被破坏, 致使PL谱逐渐减弱与消失. 结合热退火、激光退火和电子束辐照对纳米硅晶化过程, 本文建立起晶化时间对纳米硅局域态发光影响机理的物理模型, 解释了晶化时间对纳米硅局域态发光的影响.

报道了一种从非晶硅薄膜中生长纳米硅晶粒的方法。含氢非晶硅薄膜经过快速热退火处理后，用拉曼散射和X射线衍射技术对样品进行分析。实验结果表明：纳米硅晶粒不但能在非晶硅薄膜中形成，而且所形成的纳米硅晶粒的大小随着热退火过程中升温快慢而变化。在升温过程中，若单位时间内温度变化量较大（－100℃/s），则所形成纳米硅粒较小（1．6－15nm）； 若单位时间内温度变化量较低（－1℃/s），则纳米硅粒较大（23－46nm）。根据晶体生长理论和计算机模拟，讨论了升温快慢与所形成的纳米硅颗粒大小的关系。

Substrate-induced stress in silicon nanocrystal/SiO₂ multilayer structures

A Raman frequency upshift in the nc-Si phonon mode is observed at room temperature, which is attributed to a strong compressive stress in the Si nanocrystals. The 10-period amorphous-Si(3 nm)/amorphous-SiO2 (3 nm) layers are deposited by high-vacuum radio-frequency magnetron sputtering on quartz and sapphire substrates at different temperatures. The samples are then annealed in N2 atmosphere at 1100°C for 1 h for Si crystallization. It is demonstrated that the presence of a supporting substrate at the high growth temperature can induce different types of stresses in the Si nanocrystal layers. The strain is attributed to the difference in the thermal expansion coefficient between the substrate and the Si/SiO2 SL film. Such a substrate-induced stress indicates a new method for tuning the optical and electronic properties of Si nanocrystals for strained engineering.

Stereodynamics of the reactions Ne+H₂⁺/Ne+D₂⁺/Ne+T₂

The vector correlations between products and reagents for the reactions Ne+H + 2 , Ne+D + 2 , and Ne+T + 2 are calculated by means of the quasi-classical trajectory method on a new potential energy surface constructed by Lü et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 2010 132, 014303]. The polarization-dependent differential cross-sections (2π/σ)(dσ 00 /dω t ), (2π/σ)(dσ 20 /dω t ), (2π/σ)(dσ 22+ /dω t ), and (2π/σ)(dσ 21 /dω t ), and the distributions of P (θ r ), P (φ r ), and P (θ r ,φ r ) are calculated. The isotopic effect, which is associated with the difference in mass factor among the three reactions, is revealed.     

Evolution of the 251 cm^-1 infrared phonon mode with temperature in Ba_0.6K_0.4Fe₂As₂

The far-infrared optical reflectivity of an optimally doped Ba1-xKxFe2As2(x =0.4) single crystal is measured from room temperature down to 4 K. We study the temperature dependence of the in-plane infrared-active phonon at 251 cm-1 . This phonon exhibits a symmetric line shape in the optical conductivity, suggesting that the coupling between the phonon and the electronic background is weak. Upon cooling down, the frequency of this phonon continuously increases, following the conventional temperature dependence expected in the absence of a structural or magnetic transition. The intensity of this phonon is temperature independent within the measurement accuracy. These observations indicate that the structural and magnetic phase transition might be completely suppressed by chemical doping in the optimally doped Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2 compound.     

Low-voltage antimony-doped SnO₂ nanowire transparent transistors gated by microporous SiO₂-based proton conductors

A battery drivable low-voltage transparent lightly antimony(Sb)-doped SnO 2 nanowire electric-double-layer(EDL) field-effect transistor(FET) is fabricated on an ITO glass substrate at room temperature.An ultralow operation voltage of 1 V is obtained on account of an untralarge specific gate capacitance(～2.14 μF/cm 2) directly bound up with mobile ions-induced EDL(sandwiched between the top and bottom electrodes) effect.The transparent FET shows excellent electric characteristics with a field-effect mobility of 54.43 cm 2 /V · s,current on/off ration of 2 × 10 4,and subthreshold gate voltage swing(S = dV gs /d(log I ds)) of 140 mV/decade.The threshold voltage V th(0.1 V) is estimated which indicates that the SnO 2 namowire transistor operates in an n-type enhanced mode.Such a low-voltage transparent nanowire transistor gated by a microporous SiO 2-based solid electrolyte is very promising for battery-powered portable nanoscale sensors.     

Tunable Ba_0.5 Sr_0.5 TiO₃ film bulk acoustic resonators using SiO₂ /Mo Bragg reflectors

Tunable and switchable Ba 0.5 Sr 0.5 TiO 3 film bulk acoustic resonators(FBARs) based on SiO 2 /Mo Bragg reflectors are explored,which can withstand high temperature for the deposition of Ba x Sr 1 x TiO 3(BST) films at 800 C.The dc bias-dependent resonance may be attributed to the piezoelectricity of the BST film induced by an electrostrictive effect.The series resonant frequency is strongly dc bias-dependent and shifts downwards with dc bias increasing,while the parallel resonant frequency is only weakly dc bias-dependent and slightly shifts upwards at low dc bias(< 45 V) while downwards at higher dc bias.The calculated relative tunability of shifts at series resonance frequency is around 2.3% and the electromechanical coupling coefficient is up to approximately 8.09% at 60-V dc bias,which can be comparable to AlN FBARs.This suggests that a high-quality tunable BST FBAR device can be achieved through the use of molybdenum(Mo) as the high acoustic impedance layer in a Bragg reflector,which not only provides excellent acoustic isolation from the substrate,but also improves the crystallinity of BST films withstanding higher deposition temperature.     

10BaF₂:NaF,Na₃AlF₆/TiO₂ composite as a novel visible-light-driven photocatalyst based on upconversion emission

A rare-earth free upconversion luminescent material, 10BaF 2 :NaF, Na 3 AlF 6 , is synthesized by a hydrothermal method. The study of fluorescent spectrum indicates that it can convert visible light (550 nm–610 nm) into ultraviolet light (290 nm–350 nm), and two emission peaks at 304 nm and 324 nm are observed under the excitation of 583 nm at room temperature. Subsequently, 10BaF 2 :NaF, Na 3 AlF 6 /TiO 2 composite photocatalyst is prepared and its catalytic activity is evaluated by the photocatalytic reduction of CO 2 under visible light irradiation (λ > 515 nm). The results show that 10BaF 2 :NaF, Na 3 AlF 6 /TiO 2 is a more effective photocatalyst for CO 2 reduction than pure TiO 2 , their corresponding methanol yields are 179 and 0 μmol/g-cat under the same conditions. Additionally, the mechanism of photocatalytic reduction of CO 2 on 10BaF 2 :NaF, Na 3 AlF 6 /TiO 2 is proposed.

In this paper the influences of the metal-gate and high-k/SiO 2 /Si stacked structure on the metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor(MOSFET) are investigated.The flat-band voltage is revised by considering the influences of stacked structure and metal-semiconductor work function fluctuation.The two-dimensional Poisson’s equation of potential distribution is presented.A threshold voltage analytical model for metal-gate/high-k/SiO 2 /Si stacked MOSFETs is developed by solving these Poisson’s equations using the boundary conditions.The model is verified by a two-dimensional device simulator,which provides the basic design guidance for metal-gate/high-k/SiO 2 /Si stacked MOSFETs.
