Copper nitride (Cu3N) thin film was deposited on silicon (Si) substrate by reactive magnetron sputtering method. X-ray diffraction measurement showed that the film was composed of Cu3N crystallites with anti-ReO3 structure and exhibited preferential orientation of [1 0 0] direction. The field emission (FE) result showed that Cu3N film had a turn-on electric field of about 3 V/μm at a current density of 1 μA/cm2 and a current density of 700 μA/cm2 was obtained at the electric field of 24 V/μm. The emission mechanism inferred by Fowler-Nordheim (FN) plot is shown as following: thermal electron emission at low field region and tunneling electron emission at high field region. 相似文献

Metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors (MOSCs) and metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) incorporating hafnium silicate (Hf-silicate) dielectrics were fabricated by using atomic layer deposition (ALD). The electrical properties of these Hf-silicate thin films with various postnitridation annealing (PNA) temperatures were then examined to find the best nitridation condition. It is found that the best conditions to achieve the lowest gate leakage current and best equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) are when PNA is performed at 800 °C in NH3 ambient for 60 s. To understand the obtained film, carrier transportation mechanisms, the temperature dependence of the leakage current was measured from 300 K to 500 K for both gate injection and substrate injection. The result reveals that the leakage mechanisms involve Schottky emission at high temperature and low electrical field and Poole-Frenkle emission at low temperature and high electrical field. The barrier heights of poly-Si/Hf-silicate and Hf-silicate/Si interfaces extracted from Schottky emission are 1.1 eV and 1.04 eV, respectively. The interface traps per unit area, the mean density of interface traps per area and energy and the mean capture cross-section are determined about 8.1 × 1010 cm−2, 2.7 × 1011 cm−2 eV−1 and 6.4 × 10−15 cm−2 using charge pumping method. 相似文献

Brightness of carbon nanotube (CNT) emitters was already reported elsewhere. However, brightness of electron emitter is affected by a virtual source size of the emitter, which strongly depends on electron optical configuration around the emitter. In this work, I-V characteristics and brightness of a CNT emitter are measured under a practical field emission electron gun (e-gun) configuration to investigate availability of CNT for electron microscopy. As a result, it is obtained that an emission area of MWNT is smaller than its tip surface area, and the emission area corresponds to a five-membered-ring with 2nd nearest six-membered-rings on the MWNT cap surface. Reduced brightness of MWNT is measured as at least 2.6×109 A/m2 sr V. It is concluded that even a thick MWNT has enough brightness under a practical e-gun electrode configuration and suitable for electron microscopy. 相似文献

Dandelion-like gallium nitride (GaN) microstructures were successfully synthesized via Ni catalyst assisted chemical vapor deposition method at 1200 °C under NH3 atmosphere by pre-treating precursors with aqueous ammonia. The as-synthesized product was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that as-synthesized dandelion-like GaN was pure and has hexagonal wurtzite structure. SEM results showed that the size of the dandelion-like GaN structure was in the range of 30-60 μm. Dandelion-like GaN microstructures exhibited reasonable field emission properties with the turn-on field of 9.65 V μm−1 (0.01 mA cm−2) and threshold field of 11.35 V μm−1 (1 mA cm−2) which is sufficient for applications of electron emission devices, field emission displays and vacuum micro electronic devices. Optical properties were studied at room temperature by using fluorescence spectrophotometer. Photoluminescence (PL) measurements of dandelion-like GaN showed a strong near-band-edge emission at 370.2 nm (3.35 eV) with blue band emission at 450.4 nm (2.75 eV) and 465.2 nm (2.66 eV) but with out yellow band emission. The room-temperature photoluminescence properties showed that it has also potential application in light-emitting devices. The tentative growth mechanism for the growth of dandelion-like GaN was also described. 相似文献

Luminescence characteristics and surface chemical changes of nanocrystalline Mn2+ doped ZnAl2O4 powder phosphors are presented. Stable green cathodoluminescence (CL) or photoluminescence (PL) with a maximum at ∼512 nm was observed when the powders were irradiated with a beam of high energy electrons or a monochromatic xenon lamp at room temperature. This green emission can be attributed to the 4T1 → 6A1 transitions of the Mn2+ ion. Deconvoluted CL spectra resulted in two additional emission peaks at 539 and 573 nm that may be attributed to vibronic sideband and Mn4+ emission, respectively. The luminescence decay of the Mn2+ 512 nm emission under 457 nm excitation is single exponential with a lifetime of 5.20 ± 0.11 ms. Chemical changes on the surface of the ZnAl2O4:Mn2+ phosphor during prolonged electron beam exposure were monitored using Auger electron spectroscopy. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to determine the chemical composition of the possible compounds formed on the surface as a result of the prolonged electron beam exposure. The XPS data suggest that the thermodynamically stable Al2O3 layer was formed on the surface and is possibly contributing to the CL stability of ZnAl2O4:Mn phosphor. 相似文献

White xerogel powder of yttrium tungstate-chloride was synthesized, and its photoluminescence properties were investigated. Under the excitation of 254 nm, the xerogel phosphor exhibits emission ranging from 300 to 650 nm. This luminescent spectrum is identified as two emission bands of 300-400 and 400-650 nm due to different emission mechanism. While the emission band of 300-400 nm is ascribed to the charge transfer (CT) from O to metal W, the emission of 400-650 nm is attributed to electron-hole (e−-h+) carrier emission related to oxygen vacancies. By calcining the sample in reducing atmosphere, the number of oxygen vacancies acting as luminescence centers is increased. As a result, the emission intensity of 400-650 nm is significantly enhanced. Based on electron paramagnetic resonance and spectral analysis, the mechanism of peroxy-radical hole traps (PRHT) is proposed for the luminescence of 400-650 nm. 相似文献

Photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) of SrS:Cu,F alternating current thin film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) device prepared by electron beam/thermal multi-source evaporation are presented. The active layer was grown at 380 °C and neither post-deposition annealing nor sulphur co-evaporation was performed. Two bands at 380 and 435 nm were present in the PL spectrum, which are suggested to be due to donor acceptor recombination. EL spectrum consisted of an additional band at 535 nm, which is attributed to Cu+ intracenter emission. The device exhibited yellowish white EL emission with chromaticity coordinates x=0.25, y=0.27 and low threshold voltage. 相似文献

We present the two-photon excited (TPE) upconverted fluorescence and lasing efficiencies of a class of new pyridinium chloride having donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A) structure. Based on the excitation upon 40 ps laser pulses at 1064 nm, the experimental results showed that: the red-shift of TPE fluorescence emission peaks and the TPE fluorescence lifetime were gradually increased with the enhancement of electron-donating capability of the donor. To a certain extent, the enhanced donor would increase the two-photon pumped (TPP) upconversion lasing efficiencies, but the overlong alkyl chains would result in decreased lasing efficiencies. We could obtain TPE fluorescence lifetime of 754 ps, TPP upconversion lasing efficiency of ∼8.4%, and TPA cross-section of 6.14 × 10−49cm4s/photon in these compounds. 相似文献

In this paper, we report the synthesis of four diimine ligands incorporated with an electron donor/acceptor, as well as their corresponding Cu(I) complexes with bis(2-(diphenylphosphanyl)phenyl) ether as an ancillary ligand, resulting in four phosphorescent Cu(I) complexes. Their crystal structures as well as photophysical and thermal properties are discussed in detail. Experimental data and theoretical calculations confirm that electron donor moieties and limited conjugation system may self-restrict geometry relaxation in excited states, leading to narrowed and blue-shifted emission bands. On the other hand, electron acceptor moieties and large coplanar conjugation system are ineffective in restricting geometry relaxation, leading to broadened and red-shifted emission bands. However, the introduction of electron donors compromises thermal stability of Cu(I) complexes. We also explore one of the Cu(I) complexes as a dopant for electroluminescence application, and a maximum luminance of 680 cd/m2 peaking at 620 nm is achieved. 相似文献

Vertically well-aligned single crystal ZnO nanorod arrays were synthesized and enhanced field electron emission was achieved after radio-frequency (rf) Ar plasma treatment. With Ar plasma treatment for 30 min, flat tops of the as-grown ZnO nanorods have been etched into sharp tips without damaging ZnO nanorod geometrical morphologies and crystallinity. After the Ar ion bombardment, the emission current density increases from 2 to 20 μA cm−2 at 9.0 V μm−1 with a decrease in turn-on voltage from 7.1 to 4.8 V μm−1 at a current density of 1 μA cm−2, which demonstrates that the field emission of the as-grown ZnO nanorods has been efficiently enhanced. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results, in conjunction with the results of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescence observation, are used to investigate the mechanisms of the field emission enhancement. It is believed that the enhancements can be mainly attributed to the sharpening of rod tops, and the decrease of electrostatic screening effect. 相似文献

Temperature dependent luminescence and luminescence lifetime measurements are reported for nanocrystalline ZnS:Cu2+ particles. Based on the variation of the emission wavelength as a function of particle size (between 3.1 and 7.4 nm) and the low quenching temperature (Tq=135 K), the green emission band is assigned to recombination of an electron in a shallow trap and Cu2+. The reduction in lifetime of the green emission (from 20 μs at 4 K to 0.5 μs at 300 K) follows the temperature quenching of the emission. In addition to the green luminescence, a red emission band, previously only reported for bulk ZnS:Cu2+, is observed. The red emission is assigned to recombination of a deeply trapped electron and Cu2+. The lifetime of the red emission is longer (about 40 μs at 4 K) and the quenching temperature is higher. 相似文献

Two types of lasers based on hydrogen-like impurity-related transitions in bulk silicon operate at frequencies between 1 and 7 THz (wavelength range of 50-230 μm). These lasers operate under mid-infrared optical pumping of n-doped silicon crystals at low temperatures (<30 K). Dipole-allowed optical transitions between particular excited states of group-V substitutional donors are utilized in the first type of terahertz silicon lasers. These lasers have a gain ∼1-3 cm−1 above the laser thresholds (>1 kW cm−2) and provide 10 ps-1 μs pulses with a few mW output power on discrete lines. Raman-type Stokes stimulated emission in the range 4.6-5.8 THz has been observed from silicon crystals doped by antimony and phosphorus donors when optically excited by radiation from a tunable infrared free electron laser. The scattering occurs on the 1s(E)→1s(A1) donor electronic transition accompanied by an emission of the intervalley transverse acoustic g-phonon. The Stokes lasing has a peak power of a few tenths of a mW and a pulse width of a few ns. The Raman optical gain is about 7.4 cm GW−1 and the optical threshold intensity is ∼100 kW cm−2. 相似文献

The present work describes the field emission characteristics of conducting polymer coated multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) field emitters fabricated over flexible graphitized carbon cloth. Nanocomposites involving the combination of MWNTs and conducting polymers polyaniline (PANI) and polypyrrole (PPy) have been prepared by in-situ polymerization method and have been characterized using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Using spin coating method, field emitters based on PANI/MWNTs and PPy/MWNTs over flexible graphitized carbon cloth have been prepared. The field emission characteristics have been studied using an indigenously fabricated set up in a vacuum chamber with a base pressure of 2 × 10−5 Pa and the results are discussed. Our results display that the field emission performance of the emitters depends strongly on the work function of the emitting material. Low turn on emission field of 2.12 V/μm at 10 μA/cm2 and high emission current density of 1 mA/cm2 at 3.04 V/μm have been observed for PANI/MWNTs field emitter. 相似文献

The photoluminescence properties of individual ZnO nanorods, grown by atmospheric pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (APMOCV) and chemical bath deposition (CBD) are investigated by means of temperature dependent micro-PL. It was found that the low temperature PL spectra are driven by neutral donor bound exciton emission D0X, peaked at 3.359 and 3.363 eV for APMOCVD and CBD ZnO nanorods, respectively. The temperature increase causes a red energy shift of the peaks and enhancement of the free excitonic emission (FX). The FX was found to dominate after 150 K for both samples. It was observed that while APMOCVD ZnO nanorods possess a constant low signal of visible deep level emission with temperature, the ZnO nanorods grown by CBD revealed the thermal activation of deep level emission (DLE) after 130 K. The resulting room temperature DLE was a wide band located at 420–550 nm. The PL properties of individual ZnO nanorods can be of importance for their forthcoming application in future optoelectronics and photonics. 相似文献

Green luminescence and degradation of Ce3+ doped CaS nanocrystalline phosphors were studied with a 2 keV, 10 μA electron beam in an O2 environment. The nanophosphors were synthesized by the co-precipitation method. The samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction, Transmission electron microscopy, Scanning electron microscopy/electron dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Cubic CaS with an average particle size of 42 ± 2 nm was obtained. PL emission was observed at 507 nm and a shoulder at 560 nm with an excitation wavelength of 460 nm. Auger electron spectroscopy and Cathodoluminescence (CL) were used to monitor the changes in the surface composition of the CaS:Ce3+ nanocrystalline phosphors during electron bombardment in an O2 environment. The effect of different oxygen pressures ranging from 1 × 10−8 to 1 × 10−6 Torr on the CL intensity was also investigated. A CaSO4 layer was observed on the surface after the electron beam degradation. The CL intensity was found to decrease up to 30% of its original intensity at 1 × 10−6 Torr oxygen pressure after an electron dose of 50 C/cm2. The formation of oxygen defects during electron bombardment may also be responsible for the decrease in CL intensity. 相似文献

Electrochemical synthesis of Cu/ZnO nanocomposite films and their efficient field emission behaviour
The Cu/ZnO nanocomposite films have been synthesized by cathodic electrodeposition and characterized using X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), photoluminescence (PL) and field emission microscope (FEM). The XRD pattern shows a set of well defined diffraction peaks, which could be indexed to the wurtzite hexagonal phase of ZnO. In addition, characteristic diffraction peaks corresponding to Cu and Zn are also observed. The SEM image shows formation of two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal sheets randomly distributed and aligned almost normal to the substrate. Uniformly distributed small clusters of Cu nanoparticles possessing average diameter of ∼25 nm, as revealed from the TEM image, are seen to be present on these 2D ZnO sheets. The selected area electron diffraction (SAED) image confirms the nanocrystalline nature of the Cu particles. From the field emission studies, carried out at the base pressure of ∼1 × 10−8 mbar, the turn-on field required for an emission current density of 0.1 μA/cm2 is found to be 1.56 V/μm and emission current density of ∼100 μA/cm2 has been drawn at an applied field of 3.12 V/μm. The Cu/ZnO nanocomposite film exhibits good emission current stability at the pre-set value of ∼10 μA over a duration of 5 h. The simplicity of the synthesis route coupled with the better emission properties propose the electrochemically synthesized Cu/ZnO nanocomposite film emitter as a promising electron source for high current density applications. 相似文献

The globe-like diamond microcrystalline-aggregates were fabricated by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) method. The ceramic with a Ti mental layer was used as substrate. The fabricated diamond was evaluated by Raman scattering spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction spectrum (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The field emission properties were tested by using a diode structure in a vacuum. A phosphor-coated indium tin oxide (ITO) anode was used for observing and characterizing the field emission. It was found that the globe-like diamond microcrystalline-aggregates exhibited good electron emission properties. The turn-on field was only 0.55 V/μm, and emission current density as high as 11 mA/cm2 was obtained under an applied field of 2.9 V/μm for the first operation. The growth mechanism and field emission properties of the globe-like diamond microcrystalline-aggregates are discussed relating to microstructure and electrical conductivity. 相似文献

Auger electron/X-ray photoelectron and cathodoluminescent (CL) spectroscopic studies were conducted on pulsed laser deposited SrAl2O4:Eu2+,Dy3+ thin films and the correlation between the surface chemical reactions and the decrease in the CL intensity was determined. The Auger electron and the CL data were collected simultaneously in a vacuum chamber either maintained at base pressure or backfilled with oxygen gas. The data were collected when the films were irradiated for 14 h with 2 keV electrons. The CL emission peak attributed to the 4f65d1 → 4f7 transitions was observed at ∼521 nm and the CL intensity of the peaks degraded at different rates in different vacuum conditions. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data collected from degraded films suggest that strontium oxide (SrO) and aliminium oxide (Al2O3) were formed on the surface of the film as a result of electron stimulated surface chemical reaction (ESSCR). 相似文献

Nano-sized cerium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG:Ce) phosphors were synthesized via a simple sol-gel process using metal nitrate precursors. The prepared phosphors were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, respectively. Pure cubic garnet phase was formed at temperatures ∼900 οC. The particle sizes of as-prepared powders were mostly in the range of 17-27 nm. The crystalline YAG:Ce showed broad emission peaks in the range of 400-700 nm and maximum intensities at 500 and 520 nm. It is found also that the emission intensity decreased with increasing Ce doping concentration from 0.1 to 1.5 at%. With increasing Ce doping concentration, the PL intensity was shifted towards shorter wavelengths. 相似文献

ZnS nanoparticles with Mn2+ doping (0.5-20%) have been prepared through a simple chemical method, namely the chemical precipitation method. The structure of the nanoparticles has been analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and UV-vis spectrometer. The size of the particles is found to be 3-5 nm range. Photoluminescence spectra were recorded for undoped ZnS nanoparticles using an excitation wavelength of 320 nm, exhibiting an emission peak centered at around 445 nm. However, from the Mn2+-doped samples, a yellow-orange emission from the Mn2+4T1-6A1 transition is observed along with the blue emission. The prepared Mn2+-doped sample shows efficient emission of yellow-orange light with the peak emission 580 nm with the blue emission suppressed. The maximum PL intensity is observed only at the excitation energy of 3.88 eV (320 nm). Increase in stabilizing time up to 48 h in de-ionized water yields the enhancement of emission intensity of doped (4% Mn2+) ZnS. The correlation made through the concentration of Mn2+ versus PL intensity resulted in opposite trend (mirror image) of blue and yellow emissions. 相似文献
