A titanium dioxide precursor sol flowing through a needle at a flow rate of 10-10 m3 s-1 was subjected to an electric field of 4.5 kV to generate droplets in the size range 0.3–6 μm. The droplets were collected
on a silicon substrate to form uniformly thick, dense films. Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning
electron microscopy and UV/Vis spectroscopy were used to characterize as-deposited and annealed films. Raman spectra show
the annealed films were anatase phase with annealing converting it to the rutile phase. The energy bandgap of the titanium
dioxide film annealed to 500 °C shows an indirect bandgap energy of 3.50 eV and a direct bandgap energy of 3.95 eV.

Silver-doped indium oxide thin films have been prepared on glass and quartz substrates at room temperature (300 K) by a reactive dc magnetron sputtering technique using an alloy target of pure indium and silver (80:20 at. %). During sputtering, the oxygen flow rates are varied in the range 0.00–2.86 sccm keeping the magnetron power constant at 40 W. The resistivity of these films is in the range 100–10-3 Ω cm and they show a negative temperature coefficient of resistivity. The films exhibit p-type conductivity at an oxygen flow rate of 1.71 sccm. The work function of these silver–indium oxide films has been measured by a Kelvin probe technique. The refractive index of the films (at 632.8 nm) varies in the range 1.13–1.20. Silver doping in indium oxide narrows the band gap of indium oxide (3.75 eV).

This paper reports the synthesis and characterization of fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) thin films via intermittent spray
pyrolysis utilizing a solution mixture of tin chloride pentahydrate and ammonia fluoride. Utilizing the same solution, nanorod
arrays were fabricated via template-based growth. Uniform and crack-free FTO films over 20×20 mm with a thickness up to 900 nm
have been routinely achieved; such FTO films demonstrate electrical resistivity as low as 2.2×10-4 Ω cm as well as good optical transparency ranging from 75 to 85%. In addition, FTO nanorods were fabricated using template-filling
methods at a temperature of 440 °C. The nanorods have a diameter of ∼160–250 nm, appear to be comprised of small nanoparticles
5–10 nm in size, and have a resistivity value of 4×10-1 Ω cm.

A sodium ion conducting composite polymer electrolyte (CPE) prepared by solution-caste technique by dispersion of an electrochemically
inert ceramic filler (SnO2) in the PEO–salt complex matrix is reported. The effect of filler concentration on morphological, electrical, electrochemical,
and mechanical stability of the CPE films has been investigated and analyzed. Composite nature of the films has been confirmed
from X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy patterns. Room temperature d.c. conductivity observed as a function
of filler concentration indicates an enhancement (maximum) at 1–2 wt% filler concentration followed by another maximum at
∼10 wt% SnO2. This two-maxima feature of electrical conductivity as a function of filler concentration remains unaltered in the CPE films
even at 100 °C (i.e., after crystalline melting), suggesting an active role of the filler particles in governing electrical
transport. Substantial enhancement in the voltage stability and mechanical properties of the CPE films has been noticed on
filler dispersion. The composite polymer films have been observed to be predominantly ionic in nature with t
ion ∼ 0.99 for 1–2 wt% SnO2. However, this value gets lowered on increasing addition of SnO2 with t
ion ∼ 0.90 for 25 wt% SnO2. A calculation of ionic and electronic conductivity for 25 wt% of SnO2 film works out to be ∼2.34 × 10−6 and 2.6 × 10−7 S/cm, respectively. 相似文献

Transparent nickel oxide thin films were grown by reactive pulsed laser deposition. An ArF* (λ=193 nm, τ=12 ns) excimer laser
source was used to ablate the Ni targets in a controlled pressure of ambient oxygen. The substrates were either kept at room
temperature or heated to a selected temperature within the 200–400 °C range. Post-deposition heat treatment, which was applied
to further promote crystallization and overcome any oxygen deficiency, yielded transparent thin films. The surface morphology
and crystalline status of the synthesized thin structures were analyzed in correlation with their optical properties. A significant
response to several concentrations of hydrogen was demonstrated when heating the nickel oxide films at 185 °C.

Confinement effects in polystyrene and poly(methyl
methacrylate) films and nanocomposites are studied by fluorescence.
The ability to employ an intensive measurable, the excited-state
fluorescence lifetime, in defining the glass transition temperature,
Tg, of polymers is demonstrated and compared to the use of an
extensive measurable, fluorescence intensity. In addition, intrinsic
fluorescence from the phenyl groups in polystyrene is used to
determine the Tg-confinement effect in films as thin as
~15 nm. The decrease in Tg with decreasing film thickness
(below ∼60 nm) agrees well with results obtained by extrinsic
pyrene fluorescence. Dye label fluorescence is used to quantify the
enhancement in Tg observed with decreasing thickness (below
~90 nm) in poly(methyl methacrylate) films; addition of
2–4 wt% dioctyl phthalate plasticizer reduces or eliminates the
Tg-confinement effect in films down to 20 nm
thickness. Intrinsic polystyrene fluorescence, which is sensitive to
local conformation, is used to quantify the time scales (some tens
of minutes) associated with stress relaxation in thin and ultrathin
spin-coated films at Tg + 10 K. Finally, the shape of the
fluorescence spectrum of pyrene doped at trace levels in polystyrene
films and polystyrene-silica nanocomposites is used to determine
effects of confinement on microenvironment polarity. 相似文献

The patterning of lanthanum-doped lead zirconate titanate (PLZT) and strontium-doped lead zirconate titanate (PSZT) thin films
has been examined using a 5-ns pulsed excimer laser. Both types of film were deposited by rf magnetron sputtering with in
situ heating and a controlled cooling rate in order to obtain the perovskite-structured films. The depth of laser ablation
in both PSZT and PLZT films showed a logarithmic dependence on fluence. The ablation rate of PLZT films was slightly higher
than that of PSZT films over the range of fluence (10–150 J/cm2) and increased linearly with number of pulses. The threshold fluence required to initiate ablation was ∼ 1.25 J/cm2 for PLZT and ∼ 1.87 J/cm2 for PSZT films. Individual squares were patterned with areas ranging from 10×10 μm2 up to 30×30 μm2 using single and multiple pulses. The morphology of the etched surfaces comprised globules which had diameters of 200–250 nm
in PLZT and 1400 nm in PSZT films. The diameter of the globules has been shown to increase with fluence until reaching an
approximately constant size at ≤ 20 J/cm2 in both types of film. The composition of the films following ablation has been compared using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.

A simple and flexible technique aimed to generate large-area periodic nano-dot array features on metal thin films by laser
interference lithography (LIL) has been demonstrated. In this paper, gold nano-dot arrays with a period of ∼450 nm and a dot
diameter of ∼100 nm on quartz substrates coated with a gold film of 50 nm thick were fabricated. Multiple enhanced transmission
peaks were observed in this patterned film. In addition to the characteristic peak of the gold surface plasmon resonance around
500 nm, multiple shoulder peaks that range from 550 to 700 nm were also observed in the nano-chain array structures. These
shoulder peaks disappeared after thermal annealing. It was found that the nano-dots became smaller and well-separated nano-balls
under the high temperature annealing process. These nano-structures have potential applications in solar cell, nano-lithography
and biosensing. 相似文献

The crystal structure of lead sulfide films prepared by the hydrochemical deposition has been studied by X-ray diffraction.
The thickness of the films synthesized is ∼100 nm, the size of coherent scattering regions is ∼70 nm, and the value of microstrains
is ∼0.20%. It is established, for the first time, that the as-synthesized PbS films and the same films annealed in the temperature
range 293–423 K have a cubic crystal structure (space group Fm3m) different from the B1-type structure. In the crystal lattice of the structure revealed, sulfur atoms are located not only in the 4(b) positions
but also in the 8(c) positions. The occupancies of the 4(b) and 8(c) positions by the S atoms are ∼0.84 and 0.08, respectively. 相似文献

Determination of the optimal parameters for the fabrication of ZnO thin films prepared by spray pyrolysis method 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In this work, ZnO thin films have been prepared by spray pyrolysis deposition method on the glass substrates. The effect of
deposition parameters, such as deposition rate, substrate temperature and solution volume has been studied by X-ray diffraction
(XRD) method, UV–Vis–NIR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electrical measurements. The XRD patterns indicate
polycrystalline wurtzite structure with preferred direction along (0 0 2) planes. Thin films have transparency around 90%
in the visible range. The optical band gap was determined at 3.27 eV which did not change significantly. Evolution of electrical
results containing the carriers’ density, sheet resistance and resistivity are in agreement with structural results. All the
results suggest the best deposition parameters are: deposition rate, R = 3 ml/min, substrate temperature, T
s = 450°C and thickness of the thin films t = 110–130 nm. 相似文献

Tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) films deposited using a filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA) system, have high intrinsic
stress which limits their application as protective coatings. To reduce the film stress and to improve the adhesion, a multilayer
structure is deposited at a gradient substrate negative bias from 1500 V to 80 V. This paper investigates the stress, microstructure
and nano-mechanical properties of graded multilayer ta-C film on Si substrates. Compared with that of single-layer films deposited
at optimised bias, the graded multilayer film has low stress without a decline in hardness and Young’s modulus. Microstructural
evaluation of the multilayer film using visible Raman spectra shows that the average content of the sp3 bonds of the multilayer film remain at a high level. Nanoscratch testing illustrates favorable scratch resistance and good
adhesion of the multilayer film. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation confirms the collapse of the film surface
along the scratching trace. Finally, deposition on single crystal germanium substrates of a durable coating ∼ 1100 nm thick,
and composed of three graded multilayer films is demonstrated.

The solid polymer electrolyte films based on polyethylene oxide, NaClO4 with dodecyl amine modified montmorillonite as filler, and polyethylene glycol as plasticizer were prepared by a tape casting
method. The effect of plasticization on structural, microstructural, and electrical properties of the materials has been investigated.
A systematic change in the structural and microstructural properties of plasticized polymer nanocomposite electrolytes (PPNCEs)
on addition of plasticizer was observed in our X-ray diffraction pattern and scanning electron microscopy micrographs. Complex
impedance analysis technique was used to calculate the electrical properties of the nanocomposites. Addition of plasticizer
has resulted in the lowering of the glass transition temperature, effective dissociation of the salt, and enhancement in the
electrical conductivity. The maximum value of conductivity obtained was ∼4.4 × 10−6 S cm−1 (on addition of ∼20% plasticizer), which is an order of magnitude higher than that of pure polymer nanocomposite electrolyte
films (2.82 × 10−7 S cm−1). The enhancement in conductivity on plasticization was well correlated with the change in other physical properties. 相似文献

Zinc oxide (ZnO) and Ni-doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Ni) films are prepared by atom beam sputtering with an intent of growing transparent
conducting oxide (TCO) material and understanding its physical properties. The crystalline phases of the films are identified
by the grazing angle X-ray diffraction (GAXRD) technique. Thicknesses of the films are measured by ellipsometry. Chemical
states of the elements present in the films are investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), which indicates the
presence of Ni in the ZnO environment in a divalent state. Average transmission across the ZnO:Ni film was determined to be
∼83% in the visible region, which is less than that (∼90%) of undoped ZnO films. The resistivity measured by van der Pauw
technique of the ZnO:Ni film (∼9×10-3 Ω cm) is two orders of magnitude smaller as compared to its undoped counterpart (1 Ω cm). For ZnO:Ni film an average carrier
concentration of ∼1.4×1019 cm-3 was observed by Hall measurements. Two important mechanisms reported in the literature viz. influence of d–d transition bands
and electron scattering from crystallites/grains are discussed as the possible causes for the increase in conductivity on
Ni doping in ZnO.

of these films were found to be 3.21 eV and the films were randomly oriented having average crystallite sizes of 20 to 25

A high spectral resolution analysis of narrowband reflection filters based on resonant grating waveguide structures is presented.
A tunable high-performance dye laser with ∼ 0.15 cm-1 line width and a beam analyzing system consisting of three simultaneously controlled CCD cameras were used to investigate
grating waveguide resonances at wavelengths in the 694 nm and 633 nm ranges. A reflectivity of ∼ 91% and a line width of ∼ 0.55 nm
were measured and theoretically modeled for a resonant reflection filter specifically designed for the ruby laser wavelength
694.2 nm. For a second grating waveguide structure, designed for the helium-neon laser emission wavelength 632.8 nm, we observed
a thermal shift of its spectral resonance position of several nanometers, when increasing the sample temperature by some degrees.
An inverse thermal shift was observed when the structure was subsequently cooled down to room temperature. Our results suggest
implementation of grating waveguide devices combining a narrow line width with a tunability of the resonant response into
innovative concepts for reflection filter and sensor applications.

La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 (LSMO) films were prepared on LaAlO3 substrates by excimer laser metal organic deposition (ELMOD) at 500 °C. The temperature dependence of resistance of the LSMO films was investigated by changing the laser fluence, irradiation time, and film thickness. It was found that the resistance of the LSMO films 80 nm in thickness that were irradiated by an ArF laser at a fluence of 100 mJ/cm2 for 60 min showed a metallic temperature dependence, and the maximum temperature coefficient of resistance of the films (defined as 1/R×dR/dT) was 3.4% at 265 K.

A differential AC-chip calorimeter capable to measure the
glass transition in nanometer thin films is described. Due to the
differential setup pJ/K sensitivity is achieved. Heat capacity can
be measured for sample masses below one nanogram even above room
temperature as needed for the study of the glass transition in
nanometer thin polymeric films. The calorimeter allows for the
frequency dependent measurement of complex heat capacity in the
frequency range from 1 Hz to 1 kHz. The glass transition in thin
films of polystyrene (PS) (100–4 nm) and polymethylmethacrylate
(PMMA) (400–10 nm) was determined at well defined experimental
time scales. No thickness dependency of the glass transition
temperature was observed within the error limits (±3 K) -
neither at constant frequency nor for the traces in the activation
diagrams (1 Hz–1 kHz). 相似文献

Well-aligned Co3O4 nanotubes were synthesized within the nanochannels of porous anodic alumina membranes using a single-source chemical vapor
deposition method. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy showed that the Co3O4 nanotubes are highly ordered with uniform diameter in the range of 100–300 nm and length up to tens of microns. X-ray diffraction,
the Raman spectrum, energy-dispersive spectroscopy and selected-area electron diffraction demonstrated that the nanotubes
are composed of pure cubic phase polycrystalline Co3O4. Magnetic measurements using a SQUID magnetometer suggested the presence of a strong antiferromagnetic interaction with Weiss
constant θ= -248 K. The real and imaginary parts of the ac susceptibility at f= 10 Hz had a maximum at 4.0 K, and the field
dependence of the magnetization at 1.8 K showed a small hysteresis loop with a coercivity of ∼ 98 Oe.

We report the fabrication and characterization of tin dioxide gas sensing layers. The tin dioxide layers were synthesized
using a convenient, simple and low-cost technique of spray pyrolysis. The formation of stoichiometric SnO2 layers with fine-grain structure is revealed by Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy. The microstructure, phase, nanoparticle
size distribution and surface morphology were studied by transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction and atomic
force microscopy. Most of the grains were of 10–20 nm size; however, some particles were up to 100 nm in size and had a microtwin
lamellae structure of SnO2 phase (cassiterite) with lattice parameters a= 0.474 nm and c= 0.319 nm. The sensitivity of the layers with respect to 1000–10000 ppm
CH4 in air was obtained from both resistivity (SR) and capacity (SC) measurements at 330 °C and values of SR=5–7 and SC=22–31 were extracted.

Mechanical relaxation behavior in ultrathin polystyrene
(PS) films supported on silicon oxide (SiOx) and gold (Au) substrates
has been studied by dynamic viscoelastic measurement. Based on the method,
effects of free surface and substrate interface on the segmental dynamics
were discussed. In the case of thin PS films with a thickness of
approximately 200 nm, αa-relaxation process corresponding to
the segmental motion did not show any deviation from the bulk behavior. In
contrast, for the films thinner than about 50 nm, the relaxation time
distribution for the αa-process became broader, probably due to
a mobility gradient in the surface and interfacial regions. When we
sandwiched an ultrathin PS film between SiOx layers, another relaxation
process, in addition to the original αa-process, appeared at a
higher temperature side that we assigned to the interfacial αa-relaxation
process. However, this was never seen for an ultrathin PS
film between Au layers, implying that restriction from the substrate
interface might be weak in this case. 相似文献
