超细氧化硅纳米线阵列的制备和发光特性

以液态金属Ca作为催化剂合成了大量的非晶SiO2纳米线阵列。这些纳米线具有高度取向性,直径分布均匀,平均约8nm,长度大于300μm。研究发现,载气的湿度对非晶SiO2纳米线阵列的生长有重大影响,提出了一种可能的生长模型,以解释这一与传统的VLS机制不同的生长过程。对样品的光致荧光(PL)谱的测量表明,非晶SiO2纳米线阵列在蓝光波段附近存在两个很强且稳定的发射峰,它们直接与样品中的缺陷和空位有关。首次发现了一个稳定的PL峰,存在于红外波段,作为光源,非晶SiO2纳米线阵列可能会在纳米光电子器件中得到应用。由于SiO2是传统的光纤材料,单根SiO2纳米线也有希望应用于近场光学扫描显微镜(SNOM)之中。

Fabrication and Characterization of Well-Aligned Zn1-xMnxO Nanorods

Well-Migned Zn1-xMnxO nanorods have been synthesized successfully on bare silicon substrates by a simple evaporation method without using any catalyst. X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy studies demonstrate that the as-grown nanorods are of single wurtzite phase with a preferential growth direction along their c- axes, Quantitative energy-dispersive spectrum analysis reveals that the concentration of manganese is around 4 at,%, Magnetic measurements show the single-phase Zn1-xMnxO nanorod arrays exhibiting the paramagnetic behaviour. Photolumlnescence spectra demonstrate that the Zn1-xMnxO nanorods preserve ultraviolet emission at room temperature.     

Bulk-Quantity Synthesis and Conductive Properties of Comb-Like Dendritic ZnO Nanostructures

Adopting a simple low-temperature (-500℃) vapour process, we have synthesized bulk quantity comb-like dendritic ZnO nanostructures in large area. An atomic force microscope equipped with Au-coated probes was employed to elucidate the current-voltage characteristic of the individual ZnO nanocomb. The connection electrodes were defined by depositing Pt wires using focused ion beam (FIB). A rectification effect was observed,while it was slightly suppressed compared with that of the previous reports. The good conductive properties of the sample can be attributed to the Ga ions implantation through the FIB process of electrode definition. We suggest that the material and the FIB method can be developed to fabricate novel nanosized devices.
