Tailoring of Bandgap and Spin-Orbit Splitting in ZrSe2 with Low Substitution of Ti for Zr

Tuning the bandgap in layered transition metal dichalcogenides（TMDCs） is crucial for their versatile applications in many fields. The ternary formation is a viable method to tune the bandgap as well as other intrinsic properties of TMDCs, because the multi-elemental characteristics provide additional tunability at the atomic level and advantageously alter the physical properties of TMDCs. Herein, ternary Ti_xZr_1-xSe₂ single crystals were synthesized using the chem...     

Ultrafast carrier dynamics in purified and as-grown single-walled carbon nanotube films

Ultrafast time-resolved optical transmissions in purified and as-grown single-walled carbon nanotube films are measured at a temperature of 200K. The signal of the purified sample shows a crossover from photobleaching to photoabsorption. The former and the latter are interpreted as the state filling and the red shift of the π-plasmon, respectively. The signal of the as-grown sample can be perfectly fitted by a single-exponential with a time constant of 232fs. The disappearance of the negative component in the as-grown sample is attributed to the charge transfer between the semiconducting nanotubes and the impurities.

Electron field emission from single-walled carbon nanotube nonwoven

Field emission from single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) nonwoven has been investigated under high vacuum with different vacuum gaps. A low turn-on electric field of 1.05\,V/$\mu $m is required to reach an emission current density of 10 $\mu $A/cm$^{2}$. An emission current density of 10 mA/cm$^{2}$ is obtained at an operating electric field of 1.88\,V/$\mu $m. No current saturation is found even at an emission current of 5\,mA. With the vacuum gap increasing from 1 to 10 mm, the turn-on field decreases monotonically from 1.21 to 0.68\,V/$\mu $m, while the field amplification is augmented. The good field-emission behaviour is ascribed to the combined effects of the intrinsic field emission of SWNT and the waved topography of the nonwoven.     

Growth of aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes under ac electric fields through floating catalyst chemical vapour deposition

Through floating catalyst chemical vapour deposition(CVD) method,well-aligned isolated single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and their bundles were deposited on the metal electrodes patterned on the SiO₂/Si surface under ac electric fields at relatively low temperature(280℃). It was indicated that SWCNTs were effectively aligned under ac electric fields after they had just grown in the furnace.The time for a SWCNT to be aligned in the electric field and the effect of gas flow were estimated. Polarized Raman scattering was performed to characterize the aligned structure of SWCNTs. This method would be very useful for the controlled fabrication and preparation of SWCNTs in practical applications.     

表面热处理研究石墨及含杂质单壁碳纳米管的C 1s X射线吸收谱

用表面敏感光电子能谱全电子产额模式(TEY)对石墨及含杂质单壁碳纳米管的C 1s X射线吸收谱进行了研究.在高真空里表面退火处理后,石墨C 1s X射线吸收谱中未占据π^{*和σ*态特征峰之间的小峰消失,证实此峰不是来自于一直被认为的所谓的类自由电子态,而来自于样品表面态,即表面结构扭曲或吸附气体所引起的结构变化.而且π*和σ*峰强度有明显的变化,提示着在研究不同纳米管未占据态的态密度对比研究中,原位温度处理是关键的.我们通过对含杂质不同单壁碳纳米管的态密度对比研究来说明这种处理过程的必要性.}     

Seed-mediated growth of gold nanoparticles using self-assembled monolayer of polystyrene microspheres as nanotemplate arrays

Arrays of noble metal nanoparticles show potential applications in (bio-)sensing, optical storage, surface-enhanced spectroscopy, and waveguides. For all such potential devices, controlling the size, morphology, and interparticle spacing of the nanoparticles is very important. Here, we combine seed-mediated growth with nanosphere lithography to study the controllable growth of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), in which the self-assembly monolayer of polystyrene (PS) on a silicon surface is used to guide the modification of alkanesilanes and the subsequent adsorption of gold seeds; seed-mediated growth is applied to controlling the morphology and size of Au NPs. The size of adsorption region (determining the number of adsorbed gold seeds) is controlled by etching PS microspheres with oxygen plasma or annealing PS microspheres at the glass transition temperature. The size and morphology of the Au NPs are controlled by changing growth conditions. In such a way, we have achieved the dual control of the obtained Au NPs. Preliminary results show that this strategy holds a great promise. This approach can also be extended to a wide range of materials and substrates.     

碳纳米管柔性应变传感器的研究

<正>传感器(sensor),顾名思义,是一种传递"感觉"的仪器;所谓"感觉",就是各种物理、化学信号。传感器可以将某种物理信号转换为另一种可观察或者可测量的(电、光)信号。水银温度计可以看成一种最简单的传感器,它利用水银热胀冷缩的特性把温度转换为水银柱的高度,人们通过观察水银柱的高度就可以间接地、定量的测知温度值。常用的传感器有温度传感器(热敏电阻、热电偶)、压力     

微米/纳米相结合的三维金属铝图案

利用光刻，反应离子刻蚀以及电化学阳极氧化技术在铝基底上构建出了微米纳米相结合的三维金属铝图案。首先在铝片的表面形成一层具有图案的二氧化硅阻碍层，阳极氧化过程中，在二氧化硅阻碍层之下会形成侧向生长的倾斜孔道和残留的金属铝微结构。形成机制可阐述为：由于表面二氧化硅阻碍层的存在造成局域电场方向的偏折，影响到反应过程中离子的输运，从而导致侧向倾斜孔的形成，而在远离阻碍层的区域孔道则会正常垂直表面向下生长。这种垂直与侧向阳极腐蚀的同时进行导致在二氧化硅阻碍层之下形成了金属铝微结构。
