Titanium carbide formation by the solid–solid reaction on the surface of Ti nanoparticles was studied in situ using a high-resolution transmission electron microscope with a heating stage. The cross-sectional image of the Ti surface was clearly observed. Vacuum-deposited carbon covered the whole the surface of Ti nanoparticles in spite of the partly evaporation on the nanoparticle surface. The diffusion of the carbon atoms inside the Ti nanoparticles depended on the size of the nanoparticles. When the Ti nanoparticle diameter was less than 30 nm, carbon atoms diffused into the Ti nanoparticle and formed TiC. The superstructure of the Ti nanoparticles was observed, which revealed the growth process of TiC to be the diffusion of carbon atoms. For Ti nanoparticles with diameter larger than 30 nm it was observed that diffusion of Ti atoms into the carbon layer was dominant, which resulted in formation of TiC in the carbon layer at the surface of Ti nanoparticles.  相似文献

A recently developed chemical synthesis method using the nanoparticle size as a parameter has been applied to Sb film–Se particle and Sb film–Te particle systems. In the Sb–Se system, the diffusion of Se atoms to the Sb film can be clearly seen for Se particle sizes less than 50 nm. Diffusion of Sb atoms predominantly took place in the case of the Sb–Te system. The uniqueness of the reaction consists in the diffusion direction of nanoparticles. Comparison with previous work (Kaito et al., 1998b) is made on the basis of the particle stability and electronegativity.  相似文献

The effect of KrF excimer laser radiation on a composite layer consisting of sodium-potassium silicate glass with silver nanoparticles is studied as a function of the number of laser nanosecond pulses. The silver nanoparticles are synthesized by ion implantation. The measured optical absorption of the composite layer demonstrates that the silver nanoparticle size decreases monotonically as the number of laser pulses increases. Rutherford backscattering shows that laser annealing is accompanied by silver diffusion into the bulk of the glass and partial metal evaporation from the sample surface. The detected decrease in the silver nanoparticle size is discussed in terms of simultaneous melting of silver nanoparticles and the glass matrix due to the absorption of laser radiation.  相似文献

分析和计算了纳米粒子在聚合物熔体中的含时扩散系数与常规扩散常数. 采用广义朗之万方程描述扩散动力学,并通过模耦合理论计算摩擦记忆内核.为简单起见,只考虑了来自两体碰撞和溶剂密度涨落耦合作用两类微观因素对摩擦记忆内核的贡献. 采用聚合物参考作用点模型以及Percus-Yevick闭合条件计算了聚合物-纳米粒子复合溶液的平衡态结构信息函数;详尽分析了纳米粒子的尺寸与聚合物链的尺寸对扩散动力学的影响. 揭示了结构函数、摩擦记忆内核以及扩散系数等随着纳米粒子半径和聚合物链长的变化关系. 结果表明,对于小尺寸的纳米粒子或者短链的聚合物,短时间的非马尔可夫扩散 动力学特征比较显著,含时扩散系数需要更长的时间弛豫到常规扩散常数. 微观因素对扩散常数的贡献随着纳米粒子尺寸的增加而减小,却随着聚合物链长的增加而增大. 此外,模耦合理论得到的扩散常数与Stokes-Einstein关系的预测值进行比较,发现对于小尺寸的纳米粒子或者长链的聚合物,微观因素对扩散常数的的贡献占主导地位. 相反,当纳米粒子较大或者聚合物链长较短时,流体力学的贡献会发挥重要作用.  相似文献

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were prepared by the oxidation of titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) in a diffusion flame reactor. The average diameter of particles was 15–30 nm and mass fraction of anatase ranged from 40% to 80%. Effects of particle size and phase composition of those TiO2 nanoparticles on photocatalytic properties such as decomposition of methylene blue, bacteria and ammonia gas were investigated. The degree of decomposition of methylene blue by the TiO2 nanoparticles under the illumination of the black light was directly proportional to the anatase mass fraction, but inversely to the particle size. The decomposition of bacteria and ammonia gas by the TiO2 nanoparticles under the illumination of the fluorescent light showed the same trend as in the case of the methylene blue.  相似文献

The effect of surface tension on the activation energy for oxygen-ionic conduction in nanoceramics is considered. The activation energy is calculated for oxygen ion diffusion through oxygen vacancies, which are treated as dilatation centers. The activation energy is shown to decrease as the nanoparticle size decreases. Based on the size distribution function of nanoparticles, the activation energy distribution function is calculated. Analytical expressions are obtained for the dependences of the ionic conduction on temperature and nanoparticle size. The increase of two to three orders of magnitude in the oxygen-ionic conduction observed earlier in the ZrO2: 16% Y nanoceramics is adequately described by these expressions. The surface tension of nanoparticles is shown to cause a substantial increase in the oxygen-ionic conduction observed in nanoceramics; the main contribution to the conductivity is related to a region near the particle surface.  相似文献

Variations in the structure and kinetic properties of vitreous and amorphous Si400 nanoparticles upon heating from 300 to 1700 K are studied by molecular dynamics. The nanoparticle density increases with temperature and approaches the density of bulk solid silicon. A transition from a unimodal to a bimodal distribution of bond lengths is observed upon heating. This transition is more pronounced in the case of the vitreous nanoparticle. The average bond length in the amorphous nanoparticle is, as a rule, larger than that in the vitreous one, and the average number of bonds per atom is lower than that in the vitreous nanoparticle for nearly all studied temperatures. Negative values of the excess potential energy correspond to middle concentric layers of nanoparticles. Liquid layers form in the surface region of nanoparticles in the vicinity of the melting transition. A kinetic test indicating the beginning of nanoparticle melting is formulated.  相似文献

Composite layers made in sapphire by implantation of 40-keV Cu+ ions at a dose of 1 × 1017 cm−2 and an ion beam current density varying from 2.5 to 10 μA/cm2 are studied. It is shown that ion implantation makes it possible to synthesize a composite layer containing copper nanoparticles at the surface of the insulator. However, the nanoparticle size distribution in this layer is nonuniform. The composite layer is exposed to high-power excimer laser radiation with the aim of modifying the size and size distribution of the metal nanoparticles in it. The resulting structures are examined by Rutherford backscattering, optical reflection spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy. It is found that the laser irradiation diminishes copper nanoparticles in the composite layer. Experimental data on laser modification may be explained by photofragmentation and/or melting of the nanoparticles in the sapphire matrix under the action of nanosecond laser pulses.  相似文献

Silver nanoparticles were produced by laser ablation of a continuously flowing aerosol of microparticles in nitrogen at varying laser fluences. Transmission electron micrographs were analyzed to determine the effect of laser fluence on the nanoparticle size distribution. These distributions exhibited bimodality with a large number of particles in a mode at small sizes (3–6-nm) and a second, less populated mode at larger sizes (11–16-nm). Both modes shifted to larger sizes with increasing laser fluence, with the small size mode shifting by 35% and the larger size mode by 25% over a fluence range of 0.3–4.2-J/cm2. Size histograms for each mode were found to be well represented by log-normal distributions. The distribution of mass displayed a striking shift from the large to the small size mode with increasing laser fluence. These results are discussed in terms of a model of nanoparticle formation from two distinct laser–solid interactions. Initially, laser vaporization of material from the surface leads to condensation of nanoparticles in the ambient gas. Material evaporation occurs until the plasma breakdown threshold of the microparticles is reached, generating a shock wave that propagates through the remaining material. Rapid condensation of the vapor in the low-pressure region occurs behind the traveling shock wave. Measurement of particle size distributions versus gas pressure in the ablation region, as well as, versus microparticle feedstock size confirmed the assignment of the larger size mode to surface-vaporization and the smaller size mode to shock-formed nanoparticles.  相似文献

We present ab initio density-functional simulations of the state of several semiconductor surfaces at temperatures near the bulk melting temperatures. We find that the solid-liquid phase-transition temperature at the surface can be altered via a microscopic (single-monolayer) coating with a different lattice-matched semiconducting material. Our results show that a single-monolayer GaAs coating on a Ge(110) surface above the Ge melting temperature can dramatically reduce the diffusion coefficient of the germanium atoms, going so far as to prevent melting of the bulk layers on the 10 ps time scale. In contrast, a single-monolayer coating of Ge on a GaAs(110) surface introduces defects into the bulk and induces melting of the top layer of GaAs atoms 300 K below the GaAs melting point. To our knowledge, these calculations represent the first ab initio investigation of the superheating and induced melting phenomena.  相似文献

The growth of GaN islands on the substrate surface covered with an AlN buffer layer is theoretically investigated at the stages of nucleation and Ostwald ripening in the temperature range 480–1000°C. The following inferences are made from analyzing the results obtained. (1) At temperatures T>650°C, the growth of islands is controlled by the chemical reaction of formation of GaN molecules around the periphery of the island surface. Islands nucleated at these temperatures are characterized by a large spread in their sizes. (2) At temperatures T<600°C, the island growth is governed by the surface diffusion of nitrogen atoms. Islands nucleated at these temperatures are virtually identical in size. (3) In the temperature range 600–650°C, the mechanism of island growth gradually changes over from the mechanism associated with the surface diffusion of nitrogen atoms with a large mean free path to the mechanism determined by the diffusion of gallium atoms with a smaller mean free path. The supersaturation, flux, and size distribution functions of GaN nuclei are calculated at different substrate temperatures. The phase diagrams describing the evolution in the phase composition of GaN islands with variations in temperature are constructed.  相似文献

In this paper,we report on the magnetic properties of Fe3O4 nanoparticles with different grain sizes under different pressures.In all the samples,the saturated magnetization Ms shows a linear decrease with increasing pressure.The thickness of the magnetic dead layer on the nanoparticle surface nuder different pressures was roughly estimated,which also increases with increasing pressure.The transport measurements of the nanoparticle Fe3O4 compacts show that the low-field magnetoresistance (MR) value is insensitive to the grain size in a wide temperature range;however,the high-field MR value is dependent on grain size,especially at low temperatures.These experimental results can be attributed to the different surface states of the nanoparticles.  相似文献

Ab initio modeling is used to analyze the specific near-edge features of the X-ray absorption K spectra of ∼3-nm cobalt nanoparticles. It is established that the observed differences between the spectra of the nanoparticles and those of bulk cobalt samples are due to contribution from atoms of the nanoparticles’ surface layer, the local environment of which is considerably different from that of atoms in the bulk of the nanoparticle. It is also established that the local environment of cobalt atoms in the nanoparticle bulk corresponds to the FCC structure of bulk metal, and the fraction of such atoms is found to be 65 ± 5%.  相似文献

Glass formation in simple monatomic nanoparticles has been studied by molecular dynamics simulations in spherical model with a free surface. Models have been obtained by cooling from the melt toward glassy state. Atomic mechanism of glass formation was monitored via spatio-temporal arrangement of solid-like and liquid-like atoms in nanoparticles. We use Lindemann freezing-like criterion for identification of solid-like atoms which occur randomly in supercooled region. Their number grows intensively with decreasing temperature and they form clusters. Subsequently, single percolation solid-like cluster occurs at temperature above the glass transition. Glass transition occurs when atoms aggregated into this single percolation cluster are in majority in the system to form relatively rigid glassy state. Solid-like domain is forming in the center of nanoparticles and grows outward to the surface. We found temperature dependence of potential energy, mean-squared displacement (MSD) of atoms, diffusion constant, incoherent intermediate scattering function, radial distribution function (RDF), local bond-pair orders detected by Honeycutt-Andersen analysis, radial density profile and radial atomic displacement distributions in nanoparticles. We found that liquid-like atoms in models obtained below glass transition have a tendency to concentrate in the surface layer of nanoparticles. However, they do not form a purely liquid-like surface layer coated nanoparticles.  相似文献

We present a relation between the average coordination number and the cohesive energy for nanoparticles that shows that the ratio of nanoparticles cohesive energy to the bulk value is equal to the ratio of the nanoparticles average coordination number to that of the bulk. We consider the effect of lattice and surface packing factors on the average coordination numbers of the atoms in the nanoparticle. The melting temperature of nanoparticles has been calculated from the obtained relation for cohesive energy, and predictions for the cohesive energy and melting temperature of the nanoparticles have been compared with other theoretical models and available experimental data and the results of molecular dynamics simulations.  相似文献

Nanoparticles of ZnO, MgO and NiO were produced from droplets of aqueous salt solution in the flame spray pyrolysis reactor. Conventional spray pyrolysis, in which electrical furnace reactor is used, is reported to produce nanoparticles only from acetate precursor. If the reactor pressure is low (60torr), nitrate salt precursor is also known to produce nanoparticles. In this paper, we report that nanoparticles are produced from nitrate as well as acetate salt precursor solution when propane–oxygen diffusion flame is used to decompose aqueous aerosol droplets. At low flame temperature, however, nanoparticles are not formed and the particle morphology is similar to the morphology produced by the conventional spray pyrolysis. At high flame temperature, nanoparticles are formed, regardless of the salt type. Nanoparticles are formed at lower flame temperature from acetate salts than from nitrate salts. All nanoparticle prepared in this work were fully crystallized and the size measured from transmission electron microscopy images was 30nm. This size agreed well with the particle size calculated from X-ray diffraction and specific surface area data.  相似文献

We use infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopies to investigate the optically active phonon modes in InP nanoparticles and InP/II–VI core-shell nanoparticles fabricated by similar colloidal chemistry methods. The IR transmission spectra of several InP nanoparticle samples exhibit a common absorption feature, which we assign to the Fröhlich mode. The Raman results for the same samples show transverse and longitudinal optical phonon peaks, and scattering strength in between due to surface optical (SO) modes. Infrared spectra of the InP/ZnSe core-shell nanoparticles () exhibit three absorption features, one due to the InP core, and the others associated with the ZnSe shell layer. Raman measurements (12–292 K) also show three phonon-related peaks, whose intensities vary sharply with temperature. The frequencies of the IR and Raman lines are in approximate accord with dielectric continuum theory.  相似文献

The production of nickel and platinum nanoparticles on silica nanowire substrates using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition has been investigated. Determination of particle size and particle size distribution was done using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Ni nanoparticle diameters were found to be between 2 and 6 nm, with particle size increasing as the substrate temperature increased from 573 to 873 K. The size of Ni nanoparticles was found to be dependent on the chamber pressure during growth. The results indicate a competition between pressure-related diffusion within the vapor and dissociation of the precursor. Pt nanoparticle diameters were consistently found to be 2.5–3.0 nm at all deposition conditions. Insufficient thermal energy within the studied range results in a minimal contribution from surface diffusion, the primary mechanism for nanoparticle growth.  相似文献

The growth rate of the liquid contact layer may be influenced by an electric current at contact melting. Depending on the direction, the electric current speeds up or slows down the liquid layer growth in comparison with the diffusion regime (no-current mode). It is shown that if the current flowing in the "accelerating" direction is decreased inversely proportional to the square root of time, the time law of the liquid layer growth will be identical to the diffusion mode. The proposed pseudo-diffusion mode is implemented for the bismuth-indium system at 75°C. Results of calculations of the mobility and the effective charge of the melt ions are presented.  相似文献
