Zinc micro and nanostructures were synthesized in vacuum by condensing evaporated zinc on Si substrate at different gas pressures. The morphology of the grown Zn structures was found to be dependent on the oxygen partial pressure. Depending on oxygen partial pressure it varied from two-dimensional microdisks to one-dimensional nanowire. The morphology and structural properties of the grown micro and nanostructures were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies on the grown Zn nanowires have shown that they exhibit core/shell-like structures, where a thin ZnO layer forms the shell. A possible growth mechanism behind the formation of different micro and nanostructures has been proposed. In addition, we have synthesized ZnO nanocanal-like structures by annealing Zn nanowires in vacuum at 350 °C for 30 min.  相似文献

A simple growth technique capable of growing a variety of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures with record growth rates of 25 μm/s is demonstrated. Visible lengths of ZnO nanowires, nanotubes, comb-like and pencil-like nanostructures could be grown by employing a focused CO2 laser-assisted heating of a sintered ZnO rod in ambient air, in few seconds. For the first time, the growth process of nanowires was videographed, in-situ, on an optical microscope. It showed that ZnO was evaporated and presumably decomposed into Zn and oxygen by laser heating, reforming ZnO nanostructures at places with suitable growth temperatures. Analysis on the representative nanowires shows a rectangular cross-section, with a [0 0 0 1] growth direction. With CO2 laser heating replacing furnace heating used conventionally, and using different reactants and forming gases, this method could be easily adopted for other semiconducting inorganic nanostructures in addition to ZnO.  相似文献

A series of ZnO films were grown on GaAs(0 0 1) substrates at different growth temperatures in the range 250–720°C by metalorganic chemical vapor depostion. Field emission scanning electron microscopy was utilized to investigate the surface morphology of ZnO films. The crystallinity of ZnO films was investigated by the double-crystal X-ray diffractometry. The optical and electrical properties of ZnO films were also investigated using room-temperature photoluminescence and Hall measurements. Arrhenius plots of the growth rate versus reciprocal temperature revealed the kinetically limited growth behavior depending on the growth temperature. It was found that the surface morphology, structural, optical and electrical properties of the films were improved with increasing growth temperature to 650°C. All the properties of the film grown at 720°C were degraded due to the decomposition of ZnO film.  相似文献

Ga2O3 nanobelts were synthesized by gas reaction at high temperature in the presence of oxygen in ammonia. X-ray diffraction and chemical microanalysis revealed that the nanostructures were Ga2O3 with the monoclinic structure. Electron microscopy study indicated the nanobelts were single crystalline with broad (0 1 0) crystallographic planes. The nanostructures grew anisotropically with the growth direction of . Statistical analysis of the anisotropic morphology of the nanobelts and electron microscopy investigation of the nanobelt tips indicated that both vapor–solid and vapor–liquid–solid mechanisms controlled the growth process. The anisotropic nature of crystallographic morphology is explained in terms of surface energy.  相似文献

A simple efficient thermal evaporation technique, oxidizing zinc foils and in situ evaporating at 700 °C in air without the presence of catalyst and carrier gas, was developed to control the growth of the different morphologies of ZnO nano- and micro-structures. Porous membrane, nanowires (or nanorods), nanobelts, nanoneedles, and tetrapods have been achieved through tuning the heating rates in a tube furnace. The morphologies and microstructures of samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Our deterministic growth of different shapes of ZnO crystals offers ideal model system to study the physical properties.  相似文献

Concentrations of nitrogen shallow donors, boron shallow acceptors, charge carriers, and electron traps were measured as a function of position along the growth axis in a series of undoped 6H–SiC boules grown by sublimation method with and without addition of hydrogen to the growth atmosphere. Elemental analysis by secondary ion mass spectrometry and measurements of electrical properties indicate that the addition of hydrogen suppresses nitrogen incorporation and formation of all electron traps. Concentration of boron is not affected by hydrogen presence. The addition of hydrogen to the growth ambient improves the uniformity of nitrogen incorporation and deep trap distribution along the growth axis. The results are interpreted as due to increased carbon transport and corresponding shift of crystal stoichiometry toward carbon-rich side of the SiC existence range.  相似文献

Large quantities of ZnO nanorods have been synthesized by the seed-mediated method in the presence of polyethylene glycol at 90 °C. The products are characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The as-grown ZnO nanorods are uniform with a diameter of 40–70 nm and length about 2 μm. The nanorods grew along the [0 0 1] direction. Possible roles of ZnO seeds and polymer in the growth of ZnO nanorods are also discussed.  相似文献

We have performed a detailed investigation of the metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) growth and characterization of InN nanowires formed on Si(1 1 1) substrates under nitrogen rich conditions. The growth of InN nanowires has been demonstrated by using an ion beam sputtered (∼10 nm) Au seeding layer prior to the initiation of growth. We tried to vary the growth temperature and pressure in order to obtain an optimum growth condition for InN nanowires. The InN nanowires were grown on the Au+In solid solution droplets caused by annealing in a nitrogen ambient at 700 °C. By applying this technique, we have achieved the formation of InN nanowires that are relatively free of dislocations and stacking faults. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed wires with diameters of 90–200 nm and lengths varying between 3 and 5 μm. Hexagonal and cubic structure is verified by high resolution X-ray diffraction (HR-XRD) spectrum. Raman measurements show that these wurtzite InN nanowires have sharp peaks E2 (high) at 491 cm−1 and A1 (LO) at 591 cm−1.  相似文献

Using Zn nanowires as a self-sacrificed template, hierarchical tubes constructed by zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoflakes and ZnO nanotubes have been successfully fabricated by two different thermal-oxidation modes. The products were characterized by the X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and field-emission scanning electron microscopy. The experimental results show that the formation processes of ZnO nanostructures are sensitive to the growth temperature, which is lower or higher the melting point of Zn (419 °C). ZnO nanoflake tubes and ZnO nanotubes can be controlled through the variation of the heat-treatment process of Zn nanowires and their growth pathway can be described by two types of growth mechanism, in terms of Kirkendall effect and the sublimation of the Zn cores, respectively. Our method provides an easy and convenient way to prepare metal oxides tubular nanostructures with different morphologies through self-sacrificed template method via adjusting the heat-treatment process.  相似文献

Silicon nanowires have been grown in a horizontal tube furnace by disproportionation of silicon monoxide in combination with the vapor–liquid–solid mechanism. We present a phase diagram of the nanowire growth, indicating different morphologies for varying growth pressure and temperature. The morphology was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and detailed structural analysis was performed by transmission electron microscopy. A variety of morphologies is found and the optimum parameter range for the growth of straight and uniform nanowires consisting of crystalline silicon cores and amorphous SiO2 shells is identified and discussed.  相似文献

CoO nanowires with diameters of 50_80 nm, and lengths of up to more than 5 μm have been successfully synthesized by a simple environmentally friendly molten salt route, in which the precursor CoCO3 nanoparticles are decomposed to form high-purity CoO nanowires in NaCl flux. The structure features and morphology of the as-prepared CoO nanowires were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM (HRTEM), and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). The chemical composition and oxidation state of the prepared nanowires were systemically studied by X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) and laser Raman spectroscopy. The results indicated that the as-prepared CoO nanowires were composed of pure cubic CoO phase. The growth mechanism of the synthesized nanowires was also discussed in detail based on the experimental results.  相似文献

Micro scale zinc oxide-polyvinyl alcohol (ZnO–PVA) composite has been synthesized by ultrasound irradiation. The properties of the as-prepared ZnO–PVA composite material are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and diffuse reflection spectroscopy (DRS). A band gap of 3.25 eV is estimated from DRS measurements. The controlled crystal growth of zinc oxide has been studied by using the as-prepared micro scale ZnO–PVA composite as seeds for the crystal growth of ZnO.  相似文献

Fabrication of Zn/ZnO nanocables by thermal oxidation of Zn nanowires grown by RF magnetron sputtering is reported. Single crystalline Zn nanowires could be grown by controlling supersaturation of source material through the adjustment of temperature and Zn RF power. X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy showed that surfaces of these Zn nanowires, grown along the [0 1 0] direction, gradually oxidized inward the Zn core to form coaxial Zn/ZnO nanocables in the subsequent oxidation at 200 °C. In the Zn/ZnO nanocable, epitaxial relations of [1 0 0]Zn//[1 0 0]ZnO, and (0 0 1)Zn//(0 0 1)ZnO existed at the interface between the Zn core and ZnO shell. A number of dislocations were also observed in the interface region of the Zn/ZnO nanocable, which are attributed to large differences in the lattice constants of Zn and ZnO. With further increasing the oxidation temperature over 400 °C, Zn nanowires were completely oxidized to form polycrystalline ZnO nanowires. The results in this study suggest that coaxial Zn/ZnO nanocable can be fabricated through controlled thermal oxidation of Zn nanowires, yielding various cross-sectional areal fractions of Zn core and ZnO shell.  相似文献

Tip-growth and base-growth modes of Au-catalyzed zinc oxide nanowires (ZnO NWs) were synthesized on Au-film pre-deposited silicon substrates using Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) technique. The diameter of tip-growth Au-catalyzed ZnO NWs was proportional to the Au film thickness, whereas the areal density of these NWs was inversely proportional to the Au film thickness. It would be more appropriate to explain the growth of Au-catalyzed ZnO NWs by a combination of Vapor–Liquid–Solid and Vapor–Solid (VLS–VS) mechanisms instead of the conventional VLS mechanism, regardless of tip-growth or base-growth mode of Au-catalyzed ZnO NWs. The competition between the VLS and VS mechanism in the effectiveness of capturing the adsorbed Zn and O atoms would determine the final morphology of ZnO NWs. In addition, Au catalyst promoted the growth rate of NWs as compared to the self-catalyzed ZnO NWs.  相似文献

ZnO nanostructures were grown on Au‐coated Si (100) substrates by carbonthermal reduction method with the help of Ar at the beginning of growth. The structural and optical properties of ZnO nanostructures strongly depended on the supply time of Ar. When the given time of Ar gas current was 90s, sample was ZnO nanowires with hexagonal morphology. The Raman spectroscopy revealed the low level of oxygen vacancies and Zn interstitials in samples. Room temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra exhibited the intensity of green emission increased on the condition of rich oxygen (decrease given time of Ar) and the nanowire had strongest intensity of UV emission compared with other nanostructures. Green emission is ascribed to the electron transition from the bottom of the conduction band to the antisite defect OZn level. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)  相似文献

Single crystalline Ce-doped ZnO hexagonal nanoplatelets are successfully synthesized. Zinc acetate, cerium nitrate, potassium hydroxide and poly vinyl alcohol were mixed together and transferred to a 100 mL Teflon-lined stainless steel autoclave kept at 150 °C for 24 h. The obtained precipitant is calcined at 600 °C. The morphology and microstructure were determined by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The investigation confirmed that the products were of the wurtzite structure of ZnO. The doped hexagonal nanoplatelets have edge length 25 nm and thickness 11 nm. EDX result showed that the amount of Ce in the product is about 15%. Photoluminescence of these doped hexagonal nanoplatelets exhibits a blue shift and weak ultraviolet (UV) emission peak, compared with pure ZnO, which may be induced by Ce-doping. The growth mechanism of the doped hexagonal nanoplatelets was also discussed.  相似文献

Vertically well-aligned ZnO nanorods were fabricated in-situ and ex-situ on ZnO homo-buffer layers using catalyst-free metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. Field-emission electron microscopy measurements demonstrated that the nanorods were well aligned and had a uniform diameter of 70–100 nm depending on the growth temperature, irrespective of growth conditions, in-situ and ex-situ. X-ray diffraction measurements demonstrated that the ZnO nanorods and the ZnO buffer layers had a wurtzite structure, and that the crystal quality of the nanorods grown on a smooth surface was better than that of the nanorods grown on a rough surface. Field-emission transmission electron microscopy measurements revealed the presence of a disordered layer at the interface of the nanorod and the buffer layer.  相似文献

Multiple branched SnO2 nanowire junctions have been synthesized by thermal evaporation of SnO powder. Their nanostructures were studied by transmission electron microscopy and field emission scanning electron microcopy. It was observed that Sn nanoparticles generated from decomposition of the SnO powder acted as self-catalysts to control the SnO2 nanojunction growth. Orthorhombic SnO2 was found as a dominate phase in nanojunction growth instead of rutile structure. The branches and stems of nanojunctions were found to be an epitaxial growth by electron diffraction analysis and high-resolution electron microscopy observation. The growth directions of the branched SnO2 nanojunctions were along the orthorhombic [1 1 0] and . A self-catalytic vapor–liquid–solid growth mechanism is proposed to describe the growth process of the branched SnO2 nanowire junctions.  相似文献

In this paper, we compare the properties of ZnO thin films (0 0 0 1) sapphire substrate using diethylzinc (DEZn) as the Zn precursor and deionized water (H2O) and nitrous oxide (N2O) as the O precursors, respectively in the main ZnO layer growth by atmospheric pressure metal–organic chemical vapor deposition (AP-MOCVD) technique. Surface morphology studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM) showed that the N2O-grown ZnO film had a hexagonal columnar structure with about 8 μm grain diameter and the relatively rougher surface compared to that of H2O-grown ZnO film. The full-widths at half-maximum (FWHMs) of the (0 0 0 2) and () ω-rocking curves of the N2O-grown ZnO film by double-crystal X-ray diffractometry (DCXRD) measurement were 260 and 350 arcsec, respectively, indicating the smaller mosaicity and lower dislocation density of the film compared to H2O-grown ZnO film. Compared to H2O-grown ZnO film, the free exciton A (FXA) and its three phonon replicas could be clearly observed, the donor-bound exciton A0X (I10):3.353 eV dominated the 10 K photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of N2O-grown ZnO film and the hydrogen-related donor-bound exciton D0X (I4):3.363 eV was disappeared. The electron mobility (80 cm2/V s) of N2O-grown ZnO film has been significantly improved by room temperature Hall measurement compared to that of H2O-grown ZnO film.  相似文献

Well-crystallized straight Si nanowires (SiNWs) were successfully prepared in large scale via a facile reaction between NaN3 and Na2SiF6 at 600 °C without using any catalyst. Characterization by X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscopy demonstrates that the as-obtained product is pure-phase cubic SiNWs with diameters of 40 nm or so, and lengths of several micrometers. And the SiNWs with spherical tips can be obtained at a temperature as low as 300 °C. Heating temperature and holding time have crucial influence on the synthesis and morphology of the SiNWs. An oxide-assisted growth mechanism is responsible for the formation of the SiNWs.  相似文献
