超晶格多层膜的电化学制备、表征及其GMR特性的研究

以半导体Si为衬底,电化学沉积Cu/Co超晶格多层膜,用SEM表征多层膜的断面形貌.XRD研究表明,多层膜的调制波长为20～160 nm时,膜层间发生外延生长.随着调制波长的减小,外延生长对膜层结构的影响越来越明显.当调制波长小于20 nm时,在XRD强衍射峰的两侧出现卫星峰,表明多层膜形成超晶格结构.根据卫星峰位置计算的调制波长与由法拉第定律估算的结果非常接近.多层膜的巨磁电阻(GMR)性能随多层膜周期数的增加而增大;当周期数大于300时,GMR性能基本上不再随周期数变化,说明基体的导电性质对GMR的影响可以忽略.     

LB技术组装聚合物／有机染料多层膜的光致发光和电致发光

半导体超晶格材料由于其特殊的光电性质引起人们的关注,So和Tokito等人用分子束沉积的方式制备了有机及有机无机复合的超晶格材料器件,但分子沉积中有机小分子染料的结晶影响薄膜的质量及器件的寿命。最近,我们用两亲性聚合物分子成功地将有机染料分子组装在聚合物LB膜中,有效地限制有机小分子染料结晶,实验证明此多层LB膜具有超晶格结构和较好的稳定性及发光特性。为制备多量子阱结构器件提供了一种新方法。 两亲性聚合物(ES)是由环氧氯丙烷、乙二胺和硬脂酸共聚而成。将染料分子四苯基丁二烯(TPB)与ES相混合的氯仿溶液(TPB与ES质量比为2:10)分散在去离子水亚相表面,在20mN/m的膜压下将其转移到单晶硅片上。用小角X射线衍射实验观察其多层结构,在小角衍射区存在一个Bragg衍射峰(图1),根据Bragg衍射方程得到其层状周期结构为5.8nm。考虑到ES的分子尺寸,我们认为每一周期结构是由两层聚合物的LB膜组成。由于TPB分子是疏水的,通过分子间的相互作用,TPB分子可能镶嵌或吸附在ES的疏水脂肪链中,与无机半导体超晶格结构对照,聚合物ES的亲水网络由于是绝缘材料,带隙很宽相当于能垒,而镶嵌有TPB的疏水层则相当于势阱,这就很可能形成聚合物/有机染料的超晶格结构。考察其发光特性(图2)时,发现聚合物/有机染

GMR值随Co磁性层厚度增长先增大后减小, 有一极值; 随着Cu非磁性层厚度的增加GMR值发生周期性的振荡; 随周期数N的增大, GMR值先增大, 在N为60时达到了90%, 随着N的继续增加而减小, 当达到80周期时, GMR值趋于稳定.

烟酸在铁钝化膜层表面的吸附机理

循环伏安法结合原位拉曼光谱的表征结果表明,烟酸在铁钝化膜层表面的吸附行为归因于其具有形成稳定膜层复合物的性能,烟酸将间隙离子FeⅡ转化为稳定的晶格离子FeⅢ,从而降低铁钝化膜的溶解性.旋转电极电化学晶体微天平的分析结果表明烟酸在活化态和钝化态铁表面的吸附行为遵循LangmuirFreundlich热力学规律,并由此计算出过程中的吸附常数、标准自由能和非均质分布常数.研究认为有机分子在钝化膜表面为化学型吸附,可导致钝化膜破坏的间隙离子被烟酸固定在八面体空位晶格中形成稳定晶型结构,并通过扫描电镜(SEM)和衰减全反射红外光谱(ATR FTIR)分析对结论进行了再次验证.     

自组装超薄膜及其应用

自组装膜是指以价键或非价键相互作用在一定表面形成的具有某种特定结构、性能的单层或多层超薄膜。在自然界中 ,人们可以看到许多不同的组分通过自组装形成具有层状超分子结构的复杂体系 ,但直到 1 946年 ,人类才在清洁表面制备了单分子层膜[1] 。与分子束外延和化学气相沉积等制备膜的方法相比 ,以自组装方式形成的超薄膜具有有序性高、平整度好、膜的厚度分子水平可控以及不受基底形状限制等优点[2 ] 。近 1 0多年来 ,随着人们对界面化学研究的深入以及对具有特定功能的薄膜材料的需求 ,使自组装超薄膜的研究成为一个热点。本文从分类、…

含O2高温高压CO2环境中3Cr钢腐蚀产物膜特征

采用高温高压反应釜分别开展3Cr钢在CO2和O2共存、单独CO2和单独O2三种气体条件下的腐蚀实验,利用X射线衍射仪(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、能量色散X射线能谱(EDS)和电化学方法研究了3Cr钢在高温高压含有O2的CO2环境中的腐蚀产物膜特征.结果表明,在含有O2的CO2的条件下,3Cr钢表面腐蚀产物膜疏松多孔,主要成分为FeCO3、Fe3O4和Fe2O3,腐蚀产物中未见明显Cr元素富集,3Cr钢表现出点蚀的腐蚀形态.3Cr钢在高温高压含O2的CO2腐蚀条件下内外膜层电阻(Rf1、Rf2)和电荷传递电阻Rt均比仅含有CO2腐蚀环境的低,双电层电容(Cdl)和内外膜层电容(Cf1、Cf2)均比仅含有CO2腐蚀环境的高.含有O2的CO2条件下,其保护性显著低于单一CO2条件下形成的腐蚀产物膜.提出了在含O2的CO2气体条件下,3Cr钢表面存在由多种物质组成的腐蚀产物,这导致腐蚀产物疏松多孔,不会形成单一CO2条件下存在的显著提高腐蚀产物膜保护性的Cr(OH)3层,从而促进了3Cr钢的析氢腐蚀和酸性介质中的吸氧腐蚀的机理.     

Polymerization of diacetylenes in multilayers

A series of amphiphilic diacetylene monocarbonic acids was synthesized, and their ability to form monolayers at the air–water interphase was investigated. Acids with total number of C atoms ≥20 and mp >45°C form surface states suitable to be used for buildup of multilayers by the Langmuir–Blodgett technique. Using the LB technique, multilayers of defined thickness were built up on quartz substrates. The multilayers were polymerized by exposure to a UV light source according to the mechanism of solid-state polymerization of diacetylenes without destruction of the layer structure and with retention of the packing in the individual layers. Thus well-defined polymer multilayers were obtained. The monomer and polymer multilayers were characterized by UV spectra, x-ray small-angle diffraction, and interference microscopic and electron microscopic techniques. The polyconjugated backbones of the polymer chains are all stretched out in the plane of the substrate but not over macroscopic dimensions because the multilayers have a crystalline domain structure. The polymer multilayer films are quite stable under ambient conditions.     

硼酸系电结晶制[Co/Pt]_n(n≥40)金属多层膜的研究

浸泡法和旋涂法对偶氮聚电解质静电吸附自组装膜结构及性能的影响

利用浸泡和旋涂静电吸附自组装技术制备了含有偶氮生色团的聚电解质薄膜,比较了两种方法在自组装膜生长机理、膜结构以及膜光学性能方面的差异.利用紫外光谱和椭偏仪检测自组装膜的生长情况,利用原子力显微镜对膜表面结构进行了表征,并用偏振激光在膜表面进行了写光栅实验.结果表明,采用浸泡法和旋涂法都可以制备出表面光滑均匀的含偶氮生色团的聚电解质自组装膜.但是浸泡法自组装膜的生长速度要比旋涂法快.在自组装膜厚度较小的情况下,旋涂法得到的自组装膜可以写出明显的光栅而浸泡法不可以.随着自组装膜厚度的增加,两种方法得到的自组装膜都可以写出明显的光栅.这些结果说明浸泡法自组装膜内部聚电解质分子的层间穿插比较严重,而旋涂法自组装膜内分子穿插要弱得多.     

Investigation of Co/Cu/NiFe-Multilayers by X-Ray Reflectometry and Diffraction

 Structural properties of sputtered multilayers with different Co-, Cu- and NiFe-sequences of about 2 nm individual layer thickness were investigated by means of synchrotron radiation techniques. Correlations between the layer combination and structural parameters such as layer thickness and rms interface roughness derived from specular scans were obtained, whereas the lateral characteristics of the interface morphology investigated by diffuse scattering were found to be similar for all multilayers. Wide angle diffraction measurements yielded lattice plane information, e.g. size-strain effects due to profile broadening and predominating <111> fibre textures.     

Polymerization of ordered tail-to-tail vinyl stearate bilayers

This study is a continuation of previous work done in this laboratory which has demonstrated the possibility of polymerizing built-up monomer multilayers in the solid state. In the present work, the formation, structure, and solid-state polymerization of multilayers of vinyl stearate which can be built up by the method of Langmuir and Blodgett were studied. A new technique to polymerize such films under the water surface was developed. This made possible the formation of poly(vinyl stearate) multilayers with different molecular orientations through bilayer polymerization. The mechanism of deposition and the structure and properties of head-to-tail and head-to-head, tail-to-tail poly(vinyl stearate) multilayers were investigated by using Fourier-Transform infrared spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, and electron diffraction.     

Nanostructure investigations with the analytical transmission electron microscope

Concerning the conventional TEM-imaging as well as the analytical procedures the capabilities are pointed out: electron diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). The possibilities of investigation of both nanocrystalline materials and multilayers are discussed, accompanied by examples of current investigations: At alloys, produced by intense milling, at single nanocrystals the imaging by diffraction contrast was successful, the analysis has failed because of the sample thickness. By means of energy spectroscopic imaging multilayers from Fe-SiB/NbCu and Fe/Cr as well as Al₂O₃/TiN have been characterized.

Preparation of ultrathin membranes by layer-by-layer deposition of layered double hydroxide (LDH) and polystyrene sulfonate (PSS)

Nanofilms were prepared by consecutively alternating adsorption of Mg–Al (2:1) layered double hydroxide (LDH) and polysodium 4-styrenesulfonate (PSS). The charge density of oppositely charged materials strongly affect film properties like thickness and ordering. The specific charge of the colloid particles (LDH) and macromolecules was determined with the particle charge detector. The sequential build-up of the thin films was followed by spectrophotometry and X-ray diffraction. The surface morphology of the multilayers was characterized by atomic force microscopy. The influence of the charge density of the applied materials and of the mass ratio of LDH/PSS on the film thickness were studied.     

Solution synthesis of nanoparticular binary transition metal antimonides

The preparation of nanoengineered materials with controlled nanostructures, for example, with an anisotropic phase segregated structure or a regular periodicity rather than with a broad range of interparticle distances, has remained a synthetic challenge for intermetallics. Artificially structured materials, including multilayers, amorphous alloys, quasicrystals, metastable crystalline alloys, or granular metals, are mostly prepared using physical gas phase procedures. We report a novel, powerful solution-mediated approach for the formation of nanoparticular binary antimonides based on presynthesized antimony nanoparticles. The transition metal antimonides M-Sb (M = Co, Ni, Cu(2), Zn) were obtained with sizes ranging from 20 and 60 nm. Through careful control of the reaction conditions, single-phase nanoparticular antimonides were synthesized. The nanophases were investigated by powder X-ray diffraction and (high resolution) electron microscopy. The approach is based on activated metal nanoparticles as precursors for the synthesis of the intermetallic compounds. X-ray powder diffraction studies of reaction intermediates allowed monitoring of the reaction kinetics. The small particle size of the reactants ensures short diffusion paths, low activation barriers, and low reaction temperatures, thereby eliminating solid-solid diffusion as the rate-limiting step in conventional bulk-scale solid-state synthesis.     

The Hofmeister anion effect and the growth of polyelectrolyte multilayers

The influence of a variety of counteranions on the properties of polyelectrolyte multilayers deposited by layer-by-layer technique is studied by using ellipsometry and AFM. We found out that in thin dry multilayers (20-90 nm) ofpoly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) and poly(diallyldimethylammonium) (PDADMA), the thickness follows reasonably well the position of the counteranion in the Hofmeister series. The polyelectrolyte-counteranion interaction is studied by means of viscosity measurements of semidilute solutions of PDADMA in the presence of different anions. The dynamic viscosities follow the Hofmeister series of anions and correlate with the thickness of multilayers. Two parameters describing the interaction of ions with water, the Jones-Dole viscosity B coefficient and the hydration entropy, are used to explain the anion effect on the developing multilayer thickness. Reasonably smooth and monotonic functional dependence is observed between the layer thickness and these two parameters.     

Polymerization of vinyl stearate multilayers

A study was made of the solid-state polymerization of built-up monomolecular layers of vinyl stearate. Polymerization was initiated by exposing the samples to ⁶⁰Co γ-radiation. The reactions were followed by multiple internal reflection infrared spectroscopy. The structure of the multilayer monomer and polymer was studied by x-ray diffraction. Surface properties of the multilayers were studied by contact-angle measurements. Results showed that, under the proper conditions, monomer multilayers of vinyl stearate could be polymerized to virtually 100% completion. Reaction was favored by higher irradiation temperatures, larger doses of radiation, and by higher reaction temperatures. The x-ray diffraction photographs indicated that both the monomer and polymer multilayers possessed some single crystal character. Contact-angle measurements indicated that the molecules in both the monomer and polymer multilayers were closely packed.
