红荧烯薄膜生长及稳定性的研究

利用原子力显微镜研究了二氧化硅衬底上红荧烯薄膜的生长及稳定性。在较低沉积速率下,较低衬底温度时,红荧烯分子有充足的扩散时间,利于薄膜的横向生长,形成连续性、均匀性较好的薄膜。快速蒸镀及较高衬底温度使红荧烯薄膜转变为纵向生长模式,形成团粒状岛。横向生长的红荧烯薄膜在退火和空气中表现为亚稳特性,随着退火温度的升高和空气中放置时间的延长,红荧烯分子会自发地进行质量传输,发生纵向转移,转变为团粒状岛。获得了二氧化硅界面上红荧烯薄膜的生长及亚稳定机制模型。研究结果证明红荧烯分子与二氧化硅界面之间的作用力小于红荧烯分子间的作用力。

Swift heavy ion induced surface modifications in nano-crystalline Li-Mg ferrite thin films

The swift heavy ion (190 MeV Au¹⁴⁺) induced modifications in surface morphologies of the nanocrystals of ferrite thin films have been extensively studied through the images of atomic force microscopy (AFM). In most of the irradiated films significant features like, the ditch and dike structures, have been observed through out the surface. We try to explain the observed changes on the basis of thermal spike model followed by momentum transfer induced lateral mass transport. In addition to these changes some new and interesting features have been noticed after irradiation in 8F and 9F ferrite thin films. These new features are attributed to sputtering phenomenon due to the presence of defects like latent tracks.     

有机电致发光器件中由缓冲层薄膜诱导产生的空穴传输层薄膜的结晶化

有机薄膜层的结晶是有机电致发光器件衰减的主要机理之一。研究发现以CaPe做为缓冲层时比没有缓冲层时NPB薄膜更容易结晶,CuPc对NPB薄膜具有诱导结晶作用。通过原子力显微镜(AFM)以及宽角X射线衍射(WAXRD)详细研究了不同厚度、不同颗粒大小的缓冲层CuPc薄膜对空穴传输层NPB薄膜的结晶诱导作用。这个发现为以下结论提供了证据,以CuPc薄膜做为缓冲层的OLED器件的长期衰减可部分归结于由缓冲层CuPc引起的空穴传输层NPB薄膜的结晶。     

Effect of nonstationary thermal gravitation-capillary convection on temperature distribution in a thin vertical wall

Time dependences of temperature distributions in a thin metal wall were studied experimentally under two conditions of convective heat transfer in a tank model. In the first case, the vertical working wall was heated from within due to a convective heat flux from the opposite wall heated monotonously, and it was cooled due to heat transfer to the ambient medium. Dependence of the temperature field on a thin wall at the stage of convective flow development was retraced with the help of the thermographic camera and thermocouple sensors. In the second case, the tank wall was heated uniformly by IR radiation from the outside, and non-stationary convective flow and volumetric liquid heating were formed inside. Time dependence of temperature distribution over the wall height is studied. It is shown that the flow structure and convective heat transfer in a fuel layer with free boundary are subjected not only to the buoyancy force, but also to the thermocapillary effect. The local features of the flow affect temperature distribution in a thin wall.     

A Volume of Fluid Based Method for Fluid Flows with Phase Change

This paper presents a numerical method directed towards the simulation of flows with mass transfer due to changes of phase. We use a volume of fluid (VOF) based interface tracking method in conjunction with a mass transfer model and a model for surface tension. The bulk fluids are viscous, conducting, and incompressible. A one-dimensional test problem is developed with the feature that a thin thermal layer propagates with the moving phase interface. This test problem isolates the ability of a method to accurately calculate the thermal layers responsible for driving the mass transfer in boiling flows. The numerical method is tested on this problem and then is used in simulations of horizontal film boiling.

A model for vibration transmission of light-heavy structures

The vibration transmission of light-heavy structures is investigated in this paper. The light-heavy structure consists of a thin beam and a mass block. Based on numerical simulations with the finite element method and experiments, the block's effect on the thin beam is defined. A theoretical model for this beam-block structure is successfully developed, which is validated and agrees very well with the numerical and experimental models. Two kinds of transfer functions of velocities between any two points on the beam-block structure are studied experimentally and theoretically. The theoretical transfer functions agree well with the experimental results. There are peaks and valleys in the transfer functions, where the peaks occur at the anti-resonant frequencies of the second point and the valleys at the anti-resonant frequencies of the first point. Away from these peaks and valleys the magnitude of the transfer functions are about 0 dB for two points on the beam, and about 20 dB in our experiments for a point on the beam and another point on the block (close to the theoretical prediction of 18 dB determined by the mass ratio of the beam and the block). With these transfer functions, new techniques might be developed for indirect measurement of the vibration of the thin beam by measuring the vibration of the block.     

Mass transfer of indium in the In-CdTe structure under nanosecond laser irradiation

The features of mass transfer of indium in high-resistance CdTe crystals under nanosecond irradiation of the In-CdTe structure by laser pulses have been studied and analyzed. The mass transfer coefficients are determined and the average transfer rate of the indium atoms in CdTe under irradiation is evaluated. It is assumed that the concentration diffusion of indium in CdTe and the transfer of impurity atoms by the front of the laser-induced shock wave are not dominant mechanisms of mass transfer under dynamic doping. The most probable process, which provides the formation of the inverse layer in the surface region of the CdTe crystal under nanosecond laser irradiation of the In film, is an transfer of interstitial In atoms due to the thermal fluctuation jumps under the action of the driving force of the thermoelastic stresses and temperature gradient.     

Photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange by nano-TiO_2 thin films prepared by RF magnetron sputtering

Nano-TiO2 thin films are deposited by radio frequency （RF） magnetron sputtering using TiO2 ceramic target and characterized by X-ray diffractometer, atomic force microscope, and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer. The photocatalytic activity is evaluated by light-induced degradation of methyl orange solutions （5, 10, and 20 ppm） using a high pressure mercury lamp as the light source. The film is amorphous, and its energy gap is 3.02 eV. The photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange solution is the first-order reaction and the apparent reaction rate constants are 0.00369, 0.0024, and 0.00151 for the methyl orange solution concentrations of 5, 10, and 20 ppm, respectively.     

Effect of the laser fluence on structural and optical characterization of thin CdS films synthesized by femtosecond pulsed laser deposition

CdS thin films have been grown on Si(1 1 1) and quartz substrates using femtosecond pulsed laser deposition. X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, photoluminescence measurement, and optical transmission spectroscopy were used to characterize the structure and optical properties of the deposited CdS thin films. The influence of the laser fluence (laser incident energy in the range 0.5–1.5 mJ/pulse) on the structural and optical characterizations of CdS thin films has been studied. The results indicate that the structure and optical properties of the CdS thin films can be improved as increasing the per pulse output energy of the femtosecond laser to 1.2 mJ. But when the per pulse output energy of the femtosecond laser is further increased to 1.5 mJ, which leads to the degradation of the structure and optical properties of the CdS thin films.     

Screen charge transfer by grounded tip on ferroelectric surfaces

We have investigated polarization reversal and charge transfer effects by a grounded tip on 50 nm thick ferroelectric thin films using piezoelectric force microscopy and Kelvin force microscopy. We observed the polarization reversal in the center of written domains, and also identified another mechanism, which is the transfer of screen charges toward the grounded tip. In order to overcome these phenomena, we successfully applied a modified read/write scheme featuring a bias voltage. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Heat transfer in boiling of refrigerant R-21 in a downward flow in an assembly of minichannels

The paper presents the results of an experimental study of heat transfer in boiling of refrigerant R-21 in a downward flow in a vertical assembly of minichannels of a plate-fin heat exchanger. Characteristic regimes of vapor-liquid flow and heat transfer coefficients have been obtained for the case of plain fins in the ranges of low mass velocities and heat fluxes that are typical of the industry but poorly studied. The obtained data show no significant dependence of the heat transfer coefficient on the heat flux density and mass velocity, which may be explained by the decisive effect of the evaporation of thin liquid film on the heat transfer at low heat flux density.

Determination of the parameters of a linear-viscoelastic thin layer using the normally-incident ultrasonic waves

This paper proposes a method of simultaneous determination of the four layer parameters (mass density,longitudinal velocity,the thickness and attenuation) of an immersed linear-viscoelastic thin layer by using the normally-incident reflected and transmitted ultrasonic waves.The analytical formula of the layer thickness related to the measured transmitted transfer functions is derived.The two determination steps of the four layer parameters are developed,in which acoustic impedance,time-of-flight and attenuation are first determined by the reflected transfer functions.Using the derived formula,it successively calculates and determines the layer thickness,longitudinal velocity and mass density by the measured transmitted transfer functions.According to the two determination steps,a more feasible and simplified measurement setups is described.It is found that only three signals (the reference waves,the reflected and transmitted waves) need to be recorded in the whole measurement for the determination of the four layer parameters.A study of the stability of the determination method against the experimental noises and the error analysis of the four layer parameters are made.This study lays the theoretical foundation of the practical measurement of a linear-viscoelastic thin layer.     

Boiling heat transfer of refrigerant R-21 in upward flow in plate-fin heat exchanger

The article presents the results of experimental investigation of boiling heat transfer of refrigerant R-21 in upward flow in a vertical plate-fin heat exchanger with transverse size of the channels that is smaller than the capillary constant. The heat transfer coefficients obtained in ranges of small mass velocities and low heat fluxes, which are typical of the industry, have been poorly studied yet. The characteristic patterns of the upward liquid-vapor flow in the heat exchanger channels and the regions of their existence are detected. The obtained data show a weak dependence of heat transfer coefficient on equilibrium vapor quality, mass flow rate, and heat flux density and do not correspond to calculations by the known heat transfer models. A possible reason for this behavior is a decisive influence of evaporation of thin liquid films on the heat transfer at low heat flux.     

Physical and electrochemical study of platinum thin films deposited by sputtering and electrochemical methods

In this work platinum thin films deposited by sputtering and electrochemical methods were characterized through physical and electrochemical analysis. The as-grown platinum thin films were characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM); scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. Structural studies indicated that platinum thin films were polycrystalline. Morphological characteristics were significantly affected by the substrate type and synthesis method. Finally the EIS analysis indicated that platinum films were electrochemically stable and present both low resistance of charge transfer and low series resistance; the equivalent circuit of platinum interface has been proposed.     

Visualization of thermally activated morphology evolution of N, N’-di(naphthalene-1-yl)- N, N’-diphthalbenzidine films on ITO/copper phthalocyanine underlying layer

The thermally activated morphological evolution of an N,N’-di(naphthalene-1-yl)-N,N’-diphthalbenzidine (NPB) thin film on an ITO-coated glass/copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) underlying layer has been studied in situ by exploiting variable-temperature tapping mode atomic force microscopy (VT-AFM) in detail. The morphological change, assumed as an apparent glass transition of the NPB thin film, was observed to initially occur at ∼60 °C, and the transition finished at about 95 °C. Crystallization of the NPB thin film from the glassy state quickly appeared at about 135 °C in N₂. The NPB thin film gradually melted and disappeared with an increase in temperature, and simultaneously revealed the ITO/CuPc underlying layer. The morphological variations of the NPB thin film have been verified by micro-Raman spectra. Moreover, it has been found that heating history and moisture seriously affect the degradation evolution of the NPB layer. These observations should shed light on the thermally activated degradation pathways and the long-term operation stability and reliability of NPB-based organic light-emitting diodes.

Critical phenomena at evaporation in a thin liquid layer at reduced pressure

This research is concerned with the problem of heat transfer in a thin liquid layer on a horizontal surface, which evaporates at reduced pressure, when structures shaped as “funnels” and “craters” appear on its surface under the action of vapor recoil force. An approximate model that takes into account the surface tension force, gravity force, vapor recoil force, and disjoining pressure is developed. For the experimentally realized shape of curved surface, in the frames of the model, the distribution of vapor recoil force, temperature, pressure, shear stresses, and local heat fluxes along the interface is found. The density of the heat flux corresponding to appearance of a crater at the place of an array of funnels is estimated. The results are in good agreement with the experimental measurements and the estimates by the Kutateladze formula for the first critical heat flux density.
