离子径迹模板法制备纳米线

重离子辐照的高分子有机膜,经过适当的处理,可以作为模板制备金属和可溶性盐纳米线,此方法称为离子径迹模板法。介绍了用电化学沉积方法和过饱和溶液法制备金属纳米线和可溶性盐纳米线的基本原理和制各实例,同时还展望了离子径迹模板法制备纳米线的一些可能的应用。The polymer foils irradiated by heavy ions can be used as temptates to prepai nanowires and some inorganic salt nanowires. It is called ＂ion-track template method＂. Compared to other templates, such as AAO template and porous silicon, etched ion-track template is more convenient and flexible. The density of the pores can be easily controlled by changing the ion fluences and the diameter of the pores can be altered through changing the etching condition. The pores of the etched ion-track template are well aligned. We present some examples of preparing metallic nanowires and inorganic salt wires by electrochemical deposition and by supersaturation solution method, respectively. We also introduce some applications of nanowires prepared with ion-track template method.     

Supercell Approach in Tight-Binding Calculation of Si and Ge Nanowire Bandstructures

Energy bandstructures of [100] oriented Si and Ge quantum nanowires with various cross-sections are calculated by using the sp^3d^5s^＊ tight-binding model with a supercell approach. Results are compared with those obtained by the first principles method （i.e., density functional theory, or DFT）. The differences in the bandstructure between silicon and germanium nanowires are analysed and it is shown that germanium keeps indirect-bandgap and the silicon nanowire along the [100] direction becomes direct-bandgap when the wire diameter shrinks. It is shown in comparison with the available experimental data that the tight-binding method is adequate in predicting the bandstructure parameters relevant to the carrier transport in mesoscopic nanowire devices and is far superior to the DFT method in terms of computational cost.     

Fabrication of superconducting Nb N meander nanowires by nano-imprint lithography

Superconducting nanowire single photon detector(SNSPD), as a new type of superconducting single photon detector(SPD), has a broad application prospect in quantum communication and other fields. In order to prepare SNSPD with high performance, it is necessary to fabricate a large area of uniform meander nanowires, which is the core of the SNSPD. In this paper, we demonstrate a process of patterning ultra-thin Nb N films into meander-type nanowires by using the nanoimprint technology. In this process, a combination of hot embossing nano-imprint lithography(HE-NIL) and ultraviolet nano-imprint lithography(UV-NIL) is used to transfer the meander nanowire structure from the NIL Si hard mold to the Nb N film. We have successfully obtained a Nb N nanowire device with uniform line width. The critical temperature(Tc) of the superconducting Nb N meander nanowires is about 5 K and the critical current(Ic) is about 3.5 μA at 2.5 K.     

Growth of Pure Zinc Blende GaAs Nanowires: Effect of Size and Density of Au Nanoparticles

Pure zinc blende GaAs nanowires were grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition on GaAs（111）B substrates via Au catalyzed vapor-liquid-solid mechanism. The diameter, size distribution, and density of Au particles can be changed by varying the Au film thickness. We find that the grown nanowires are of rod-like shapes and pure zinc blende structure; moreover, the growth rate depends on the density of Au particles and it is independent of its diameters. It can be concluded that the nanowire was grown with main contributions from the direct impingement of vapor species onto the Au-Ga droplets and contributions from adatom diffusion can be negligible. The results indicate that the droplet acts as a catalyst rather than an adatom collector.     

利用重离子径迹模版法制备出的钯纳米线阵列的表面等离激元共振现象研究(英文)

利用电化学沉积在重离子径迹模版中制备出了不同直径的一维钯纳米线。利用扫描电子显微镜、透射电子显微镜和X射线衍射等多多种手段对制得的钯纳米线进行了形貌和结构表征。利用紫外可见光谱仪分析了钯纳米线的光学响应,发现钯纳米线存在表面等离子体共振现象。随着纳米线直径和长度的增加,其表面等离子体共振峰位发生红移;通过改变光谱测试中激发光的入射角度,其表面等离激元共振模式会随着角度的增大而变多,这可能是在横向振动模式的基础上激发了沿纳米线长度方向振动的纵向模式。与此同时,基于时域有限差分法对钯纳米线的表面等离子体共振特性进行数值模拟,结果与实验符合较好。Palladium nanowires with varied diameters were fabricated using ion-track templates coupled with electrochemical deposition. The morphology and crystallographic structure were characterized with Scanning Electron Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD). The plasmonic responses of the as-prepared nanowires were investigated by UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy and the simulations based on the finite-difference time-domain algorithm. The results demonstrate that the surface plasmon resonances of Pd nanowire are sensitive to the wire geometry, but also influenced by the incidence angle of light. The frequency of the transverse dipolar plasmon resonance of nanowire arrays shifts within a wide range from visible to near infrared. With increasing of wires' diameter or length, the resonance peak shifts to the red. With increasing of incident angle, a new peak appears, which is possibly assigned to the excitation of the longitudinal resonance. In addition, numerical simulations disclose that propagating surface plasmon polaritons can be excited on the palladium nanowires and the wavelength of the resonance peak is in good agreement with the experimental results.     

Micromagnetic simulation on the dynamic susceptibility spectra of cobalt nanowires arrays: the effect of magnetostatic interaction

<正>Micromagnetic simulations have been performed to obtain the dynamic susceptibility spectra of 4×4 cobalt nanowire arrays with different spatial configurations and geometries.The susceptibility spectra of isolated wires have also been simulated for comparison purposes.It is found that the susceptibility spectrum of nanowire array bears a lot of similarities to that of an isolated wire,such as the occurrences of the edge mode and the bulk resonance mode. The simulation results also reveal that the susceptibility spectrum of nanowire array behaves like that of single isolated wire as the interwire distance grows to an extent,which is believed due to the decrease of magnetostatic interaction among nanowires,and can be further confirmed by the static magnetic hysteresis simulations.In comparison with single nanowire,magnetostatic interaction may increase or decrease the resonance frequencies of nanowire arrays assuming a certain interwire distance when the length of array increases.Our simulation results are also analysed by employing the Kittel equation and recent theoretical studies.     

Optoelectronic characterisation of an individual ZnO nanowire in contact with a micro-grid template

Optoelectronic characterisation of an individual ZnO nanowire in contact with a micro-grid template has been studied.The low-cost micro-grid template made by photolithography is used to fabricate the ohmic contact metal electrodes.The current increases linearly with the bias,indicating good ohmic contacts between the nanowire and the electrodes.The resistivity of the ZnO nanowire is calculated to be 3.8 ·cm.We investigate the photoresponses of an individual ZnO nanowire under different light illumination using light emitting diodes(λ = 505 nm,460 nm,375 nm) as excitation sources in atmosphere.When individual ZnO nanowire is exposured to different light irradiation,we find that it is extremely sensitive to UV illumination;the conductance is much larger upon UV illumination than that in the dark at room temperature.This phenomenon may be related to the surface oxygen molecule adsorbtion,which indicates their potential application to the optoelectronic switching device.     

Preparation of few-layer graphene-capped boron nanowires and their field emission properties

Large-area boron nanowire(BNW) films were fabricated on the Si(111) substrate by chemical vapor deposition(CVD). The average diameter of the BNWs is about 20 nm, with lengths of 5–10 μm. Then, graphene-capped boron nanowires(GC-BNWs) were obtained by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition(MPCVD). Characterization by scanning electron microscopy indicates that few-layer graphene covers the surface of the boron nanowires. Field emission measurements of the BNWs and GC-BNW films show that the GC-BNW films have a lower turn-on electric field than the BNW films.     

Defect-Related Photoresponse and Polarization-Sensitive Photodetection of Single ZnO Nanowires

Defect-related photoconductivity of single ZnO nanowires is investigated. The photoconductivity shows powerlaw dependence with incident green laser intensity due to the defect mechanisms including both recombination centres and traps. The device based on single ZnO nanowire shows a sensitive photoresponse to green light with significant on/off ratios. In addition, the photocurrent ＆ highly sensitive to the polarization of the incident illumination. Therefore, the nanowire may act as a polarized photodetector.     

The elastic properties and energy characteristics of Au nanowires: an atomistic simulation study

This paper have performed molecular static calculations with the quantum corrected Sutten Chen type many body potential to study size effects on the elastic modulus of Au nanowires with [100], [110] and [111] crystallographic directions, and to explore the preferential growth orientation of Au nanowires. The main focus of this work is the size effects on their surface characteristics. Using the common neighbour analysis, this paper deduces that surface region approximately consists of two layer atoms. Further, it extracts the elastic modulus of surface, and calculate surface energy of nanowire. The results show that for all three directions the Young＇s modulus of nanowire increases as the diameter increases. Similar trend has been observed for the Young＇s modulus of surface. However, the atomic average potential energy of nanowire shows an opposite change. Both the potential and surface energy of [110] nanowire are the lowest among all three orlentational nanowires, which helps to explain why Au nanowires possess a [110] preferred orientation during the experimental growth proceeds.

Fabrication, morphology and structural characterization of ordered single-crystal Ag nanowires

Highly aligned Ag nanowires have been synthesized by dc electrodeposition within a hexagonal close-packed nanochannel anodic aluminum oxide template. The pore diameter varies from 20 nm to 50 nm depending on the anodization voltage and temperature for the two types of aqueous solutions, sulphuric and oxalic acids, respectively. The size and morphology of the Ag nanowire arrays were measured by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The images indicate that the highly aligned Ag nanowires grow in the uniform nanochannels of the anodic alumina template and that the size of the nanowires depends on the size of the nanochannels. X-ray diffraction, selected area electron diffraction pattern and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy images show that the Ag nanowires are single-crystal. The temperature coefficient of resistivity (temperature range from 4.2 K to 300 K) of the Ag nanowire arrays decreases with decreasing diameter of the nanowires.

Investigation of the surface properties of gold nanowire arrays

Gold nanowire arrays with diameters ranging from 45 to 200 nm were obtained via electrochemical deposition within the ion-track templates. The morphology of gold nanowires was imaged by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The surface properties were investigated by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The SPR peaks were observed as the gold nanowire arrays embedded in the templates and their intensity decreased after the sample exposed to the air for a certain time due to the formation of chemisorbed oxygen on nanowire surface. The positive binding energy shifts in Au core level was found when the gold nanowire arrays embodied in template and the initial- and finial-state effects were introduced to explain this phenomenon.     

Synthesis and characterization of electrodeposited permalloy (Ni80Fe20)/Cu multilayered nanowires

Permalloy (Ni₈₀Fe₂₀)/Cu multilayered nanowires (NWs) were electrodeposited using a template directed method from sulfate baths via pulse potential technique. Microstructures and compositions of the nanowires were characterized using various microscopy and spectroscopy techniques. To synthesize compositionally uniform nanowires with high efficiency, new sulfate baths with a high content of Ni²⁺ were developed. The effects of deposition potential and concentration of metal ions were optimized to reduce composition inhomogeneity and incorporation of copper in the permalloy layers. Composition of the NiFe layers was found to be close to 20 at% Fe with a maximum of 5 at% Cu. TEM analysis indicated that individual nanowires exhibit distinct and coherent layering structure with rough and wavy interfaces. A synthesized single nanowire was also AC dielectrophoretically assembled across the microfabricated gold electrodes for subsequent magnetoresistance measurements.
