SURFACE STRESS EFFECT IN MECHANICS OF NANOSTRUCTURED MATERIALS

This review article summarizes the advances in the surface stress effect in mechanics of nanostructured elements,including nanoparticles,nanowires,nanobeams,and nanofilms,and heterogeneous materials containing nanoscale inhomogeneities.It begins with the fundamental formulations of surface mechanics of solids,including the definition of surface stress as a surface excess quantity,the surface constitutive relations,and the surface equilibrium equations.Then,it depicts some theoretical and experimental studies of the mechanical properties of nanostructured elements,as well as the static and dynamic behaviour of cantilever sensors caused by the surface stress which is influenced by adsorption.Afterwards,the article gives a summary of the analytical elasto-static and dynamic solutions of a single as well as multiple inhomogeneities embedded in a matrix with the interface stress prevailing.The effect of surface elasticity on the diffraction of elastic waves is elucidated.Due to the difficulties in the analytical solution of inhomogeneities of complex shapes and configurations,finite element approaches have been developed for heterogeneous materials with the surface stress.Surface stress and surface energy are inherently related to crack propagation and the stress field in the vicinity of crack tips.The solutions of crack problems taking into account surface stress effects are also included.Predicting the effective elastic and plastic responses of heterogeneous materials while taking into account surface and interface stresses has received much attention.The advances in this topic are inevitably delineated.Mechanics of rough surfaces appears to deserve special attention due to its theoretical and practical implications.Some most recent work is reviewed.Finally,some challenges are pointed out.They include the characterization of surfaces and interfaces of real nanomaterials,experimental measurements and verification of mechanical parameters of complex surfaces,and the effects of the physical and chemical processes on the surface properties,etc.     

Preparation, structures and photoluminescent enhancement effect of PbWO4–TiO2 composite nanofilms

A novel route for preparing PbWO₄–TiO₂ nanofilms on a glass substrate is firstly proposed. The collodion is used as a dispersant and film-forming agent. The nanofilms are characterized through SEM, XRD, TG/DTA, PL and IR, respectively. The results of XRD indicate PbWO₄ particles with tetragonal scheelite structure and TiO₂ particles with Anatase phase, and SEM shows they are well dispersed in the substrate. Compared with nanoparticles, when TiO₂ nanoparticles are added in 5% ratio, the PL intensities at 395 nm of PbWO₄ nanofilms are enhanced obviously. IR spectrum reveals a large absorption band between 750 and 870 cm⁻¹, which is the W–O stretching vibration in WO₄ tetrahedron.     

First-principles study on the structural and electronic properties of ultrathin ZnO nanofilms

Using first-principles density-functional calculations, we have studied the structural and electronic properties of ultrathin ZnO {0001} nanofilms. The structural parameters, the charge densities, band structures and density of states have been investigated. The results show that there are remarkable charge transfers from Zn to O atoms in the ZnO nanofilms. All the ZnO nanofilms exhibit direct wide band gaps compared with bulk counterpart, and the gap decreases with increased thickness of the nanofilms. The decreased band gap is associated with the weaker ionic bonding within layers and the less localization of electrons in thicker films. A staircase-like density of states occurs at the bottom of conduction band, indicating the two-dimensional quantum effects in ZnO nanofilms.

Preparation and optical properties of AgGaS2 nanofilms

In this paper, AgGaS₂ nanofilms have been prepared by a two‐step process involving the successive ionic layer absorption and reaction (SILAR) and annealing method. Using AgNO₃, GaCl₃ and Na₂S₂O₃ as reaction sources, the mixture films were firstly deposited on quartz glass substrates at room temperature, and then annealed in Ar environment at 200–500 °C for 4 h, respectively. The effects of annealing temperature on structural and optical properties were investigated by XRD, UV‐Vis, EDS and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. It was revealed in XRD results that α‐Ag₉GaS₆ was contained in the samples annealed at 200 °C, and this phase was decreased with increase of the annealing temperatures. When the sample was annealed at above 400 °C, the chalcopyrite AgGaS₂ nanofilm was obtained. The preferred orientation was exhibited along the (112) plane. It was shown in atomic force microscopy (AFM) results that the grain sizes in AgGaS₂ nanofilms were 18‐24 nm and the thin films were smooth and strongly adherent to the substrates. When the annealing temperature was higher than 400 °C, it is an optimum condition to improve the structural and optical properties of the AgGaS₂ thin films. The room temperature PL spectra of AgGaS₂ nanofilms showed prominent band edge emission at 2.72 eV. Based on all results mentioned above, it can be concluded that the SILAR‐annealing method is preferable to preparing high‐quality AgGaS₂ nanofilms. (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Band structure of silicon and germanium thin films based on first principles

In nanomaterials, optical anisotropies reveal a fundamental relationship between structural and optical properties, in which directional optical properties can be exploited to enhance the performance of optoelectronic devices. First principles calculation based on density functional theory(DFT) with the generalized gradient approximation(GGA) are carried out to investigate the energy band gap structure on silicon(Si) and germanium(Ge) nanofilms. Simulation results show that the band gaps in Si(100) and Ge(111) nanofilms become the direct-gap structure in the thickness range less than 7.64 nm and7.25 nm respectively, but the band gaps of Si(111) and Ge(110) nanofilms still keep in an indirect-gap structure and are independent on film thickness, and the band gaps of Si(110) and Ge(100) nanofilms could be transferred into the direct-gap structure in nanofilms with smaller thickness. It is amazing that the band gaps of Si~((1-x)/2)Ge~xSi~((1-x)/2)sandwich structure become the direct-gap structure in a certain area whether(111) or(100) surface. The band structure change of Si and Ge thin films in three orientations is not the same and the physical mechanism is very interesting, where the changes of the band gaps on the Si and Ge nanofilms follow the quantum confinement effects.     

Temperature-dependent specific heat of suspended platinum nanofilms at 80-380 K

Metallic nanofilms are important components of nanoscale electronic circuits and nanoscale sensors. The accurate characterization of the thermophysical properties of nanofilms is very important for nanoscience and nanotechnology. Currently, there is very little specific heat data for metallic nanofilms, and the existing measurements indicate distinct differences according to the nanofilm size. The present work reports the specific heats of 40-nm-thick suspended platinum nanofilms at 80-380 K and ~5×10^-4 Pa using the 3ω method. Over 80-380 K, the specific heats of the Pt nanofilms range from 166-304 J/(kg·K), which are 1.65-2.60 times the bulk values, indicating significant size effects. These results are useful for both scientific research in nanoscale thermophysics and evaluating the transient thermal response of nanoscale devices.
