采用直流磁控溅射法在P型<100>晶向单晶硅衬底上室温制备ZnO薄膜,对室温制备的ZnO薄膜分别在500℃、600℃、700℃进行高温退火,通过采用X射线衍射(XRD)、拉曼光谱和场发射扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、HP4145B型半导体参数测试仪分析不同退火温度对室温生长ZnO薄膜微结构、表面形貌和,Ⅰ-Ⅴ特性影响.实验结果表明,室温生长的ZnO薄膜为非晶态,随退火温度增加,ZnO薄膜出现(002)、(100)、(101)晶面衍射峰且逐渐增强,晶粒大小相对增加,在700℃退火后,呈高度c轴择优取向,晶粒间界明显,拉曼光谱E2模增强.     

Si(111)衬底上ZnO薄膜的磁控溅射法制备及表征

采用磁控溅射法在(111)单晶硅衬底上沉积了ZnO薄膜,并研究了退火温度对ZnO薄膜晶体质量、晶粒度大小、应力和光致发光谱的影响.X射线衍射(XRD)表明薄膜为高度c轴择优取向.不同退火温度下的ZnO薄膜应力有明显变化,应力分布最为均匀的退火温度为500℃.室温下对ZnO薄膜进行了光谱分析,可观测到明显的紫光发射(波长为380nm左右).实验结果表明,用磁控溅射法在单晶硅衬底上能获得高质量的ZnO薄膜.     

退火对硫化方法制备ZnS薄膜特性的影响

以反应磁控溅射方法沉积ZnO薄膜,然后在空气和H2S气氛中退火制备了六方相ZnS薄膜.用X射线衍射仪(XRD)、紫外-可见透射光谱和扫描电子显微镜(SEM)对薄膜进行表征.提高空气退火温度能够改善ZnS薄膜结晶性,而空气退火温度超过500℃则会降低ZnS薄膜结晶性.另外,当硫化退火温度低于400℃时,ZnO只能部分转变为ZnS,只有硫化温度等于或大于400℃时,ZnO才能全部转变为ZnS.硫化前后薄膜晶粒尺寸有显著变化.所得ZnS薄膜在可见光范围的透过率约为80;,带隙为3.61 ～3.70 eV.     

退火对Si(111)衬底上ZnO薄膜的结构和发光特性的影响

采用磁控溅射法在硅(111)衬底上制备了C轴高度取向的ZnO薄膜,并研究了退火温度和氧气气氛对ZnO薄膜晶体质量、晶粒度大小和光致发光谱的影响.X射线衍射表明,所有薄膜均为高度C轴择优取向,当退火温度低于900℃时,随着退火温度的升高,薄膜的取向性和结晶度都明显提高.室温下对ZnO薄膜进行了光谱分析,退火后的样品均可观测到明显的紫光发射.在一定的退火温度范围内,还可以观测到明显的紫外双峰.空气中退火的样品,当退火温度达到或高于600℃还可观测到绿光发射.实验结果表明,发光峰强度随退火温度和氧气气氛不同而不同,通过改变退火时的温度和氧气气氛可以改变ZnO薄膜的微结构和发光性质.     

退火温度对Li:ZnO薄膜紫外发射性能影响

利用溶胶-凝胶法在Si衬底上制备不同退火温度的Li∶ZnO薄膜。借助X射线衍射(XRD)、X射线光电子谱(XPS)、扫描电镜(SEM)和光致发光(PL)谱研究样品结晶质量、成分、表面形貌和发光特性。结果表明:所有样品均高度c轴择优取向生长;随退火温度升高,样品结晶性变好,紫外发射增强。LiOH在退火温度超过700℃分解,使Li、H进入到ZnO晶格,在ZnO薄膜中形成LiZn-H复合缺陷,这种复合缺陷使H被困在ZnO薄膜中,形成H施主,显著提高ZnO薄膜紫外发光强度,抑制ZnO薄膜绿光发射。

退火温度和涂膜层数对溶胶-凝胶法制备ZnO薄膜微结构及光学特性的影响

采用溶胶-凝胶法在玻璃基片上制备了ZnO薄膜,研究了退火温度和涂膜层数对ZnO薄膜结晶性和光学特性的影响.扫描电镜(SEM)结果表明,退火温度的升高使得薄膜致密性和均匀性均得到改善.旋涂10层以上的薄膜其表面形貌明显要好于旋涂5层的薄膜样品,但旋涂10层和20层的薄膜其形貌和微结构差异并不显著.XRD图谱表明所有样品都具有纤锌矿结构,随着热处理温度的升高,各衍射峰强度增大,晶粒尺寸变大.光致发光(PL)测量显示,退火温度越高,涂膜层数越少,其PL谱发光强度越强.紫外-可见透过谱发现,涂膜层数越少,透射率越高;而提高退火温度也有助于改善薄膜透射率.结合已得到的微结构信息,对观察到的光学性能进行了合理解释,综合认为旋涂10层并在600℃退火是溶胶凝胶法制备ZnO薄膜的最佳生长条件.

Modelling of mechanism of agglomeration of KCl crystallization

The article presents an analysis into agglomeration during KCl vacuum crystallization. The theoretical and experimental investigations into the mechanism of agglomeration during mass crystallization result in an extension of the growth phenomena within the known model equations. The basis for this is essentially constituted by the collision model concepts of the theory of floculation in disperse systems. The parameters derived from the microprocess analysis (energy dissipation, content of solids, growth rate of individual grains) lead to model equations which are confirmed by laboratory and test trials.

Velocities of Disappearance and Lifetime of Faces of Growing Crystals

The formulae for absolute R_disap and relative R velocities of disappearance and lifetime τ of faces of growing crystals have been derived for stationary growth. It was shown that the quantities are determined by the relative growth velocity R_A/R_critA of the vanishing face A with respect to the critical growth velocity R_critA and by the geometry of a crystal expressed by the trigonometric functions of interfacial angles β and γ formed between face A and the adjacent faces. R increases and τ decreases with the increase in R_A/R_critA to certain limiting values. The calculations have been verified and illustrated by the experimental results for triclinic potassium bichromate (KBC) crystals. Results enable ones to predict values of velocities of disappearance and lifetimes of undesirable, supplementary faces of any real crystal.

A review of measurement of thermophysical properties of silicon melt

Measurements of thermophysical properties of Si melt and supplementary study of X-ray scattering/diffraction by the authors' group were reviewed. The values obtained differed variously from those of literature. Density was 2–3% larger, surface tension 20–30% smaller, viscosity up to 40% larger, electrical conductivity 8% smaller, spectral emissivity more or less in good agreement with literature values, and thermal diffusivity a few percent larger. An anomalous density jump was found near the melting point. Surface tension and viscosity also showed anomaly. A strange time-dependent change of density was observed over 3 h after melting. X-ray analyses suggested a slight change in local atom ordering, but showed no sign of cluster formation. An addition of 0.1 at% gallium caused the density jump to disappear, while that of boron caused no change. An EXAFS study of the former melt indicated a strong interaction between Ga and Si atoms as if molecules of GaSi₃ existed. The implications of the measured properties are a possibility of soft-turbulence in an Si melt in a relatively large crucible, a more complicated manner of intake of oxygen depleted molten Si from the free surface region to underneath the growing crystal, and a relaxation of the melt after melting arising from trapped gas species.     

Comparative analysis of two methods of calculation of the orientation of domain walls in ferroelastics

Two types of domain-wall equations are analyzed: the equations derived by the Sapriel method and the equations obtained by interface matching of the thermal-expansion tensor. It is shown that, for W-type domain walls, these methods yield the same equations. For W′-type domain walls, the equations obtained by different methods coincide for proper ferroelastics and differ for improper ferroelastics.     

Dependence of the parameters of equations of viscous flow on chemical composition of silicate melts

The temperature dependence of viscosity of silicate melts is discussed in the framework of the Avramov–Milchev (AM) equation. The composition is described by means of two parameters: the molar fraction, x, and the “lubricant fraction”, l. The molar fraction is the sum of the molar parts x_i of all oxides dissolved in SiO₂, the molar fraction of the latter being 1 ? x. It is shown that, with sufficient precision, two of the parameters of the AM equation can be presented as unique functions of the molar fraction. On the other hand, x is not sufficient to determine properly the reference temperature T_r , at which viscosity is η_r = 10¹³ [dPa.s]. Therefore, additional parameter, “lubricant fraction” l, is introduced. For each of the components, l_i is a product of molar part x_i and a specific dimensionless coefficient 0 ≤ k_i ≤ 1 accounting for the specific contribution of this component to the increased mobility of the system. It is demonstrated that, for l > 0, the reference temperature is related to the “lubricant fraction” l through the reference temperature T_r,SiO2 of pure SiO₂.     

Generation of crystal structures of heteromolecular compounds by the method of discrete modeling of packings

Within the method of discrete modeling of packings, an algorithm of generation of possible crystal structures of heteromolecular compounds containing two or three molecules in the primitive unit cell, one of which has an arbitrary shape and the other (two others) has a shape close to spherical, is proposed. On the basis of this algorithm, a software package for personal computers is developed. This package has been approved for a number of compounds, investigated previously by X-ray diffraction analysis. The results of generation of structures of five compounds—four organic salts (with one or two spherical anions) and one solvate—are represented.
