Electrical, dielectric and surface wetting properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes/nylon-6 nanocomposites

This paper reports that the multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWCNT)/nylon-6 (PA6) nanocomposites with different MWCNT loadingshave been prepared by a simple melt-compounding method. Theelectrical, dielectric, and surface wetting properties of theCNT/PA6 composites have been studied. The temperature dependence ofthe conductivity of the CNT/PA6 composite with 10.0 wt{\%} CNTloading ($\sigma _{\rm RT} \sim 10^{-4}$ S/cm) are measured, andafterwards a charge-energy-limited tunnelling model (ln $\sigma (T)\sim T^{-1/2})$ is found. With increasing CNT weight percentage from0.0 to 10.0 wt%, the dielectric constant of the CNT/PA6composites enhances and the dielectric loss tangent increases twoorders of magnitude. In addition, water contact angles of theCNT/PA6 composites increase and the composites with CNT loadinglarger than 2.0 wt%even become hydrophobic. The obtainedresults indicate that the electrical and surface properties of thecomposites have been significantly enhanced by the embedded carbonnanotubes.     

Kinetics of self-interstitials reactions in p-type silicon irradiated with alpha particles

New findings on the self-interstitial migration in p-type silicon are presented. They are based on experimental studies of the formation kinetics of defects related to interstitial carbon after irradiation with alpha particles. The main parameters characterizing the interaction rate of silicon self-interstitials with substitutional carbon atoms have been determined. A preliminary interpretation of the experimental data is given. The interpretation takes into account different diffusivities of self-interstitials in their singly and doubly ionized states.     

Field—ion microscopy observation of single—walled carbon nanotubes

Field-ion microscopy(FIM),a tool for surface analysis with atomic resolution,has been employed to observe the end structure of single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWCNTs).FIM images revealed the existence of open SWCNT ends,Amorphous carbon atoms were also observed to occur around SWCNTs and traditional field evaporation failed to remove them.Heat treatment was found to be efficacious in altering the end structures of SWCNT bundles.Carbon and oxygen atoms released from heated tungsten filament are believed to be responsible for the decoration imposed on the SWCNT ends.     

基于选择性模型组合的三维荧光光谱水质分析方法

为提高三维荧光光谱水质分析的精度,提出一种选择性模型组合方法,采用相关系数法对三维荧光光谱激发波长进行选择,并将被选中的激发波长下的荧光发射光谱水质分析子模型采用岭回归法进行模型组合,得到对水质指标的组合模型。以一组总有机碳(TOC)范围在3.41～125.35 mg·L-1,化学需氧量(COD)范围在22.80～330.60 mg·L-1的32个地表水和城市生活污水水样做为研究对象,对其三维荧光光谱220～400 nm范围内的10个激发波长采用上述方法进行选择,分别针对TOC和COD指标筛选出260,280,400 nm和220,280,400 nm各3个激发波长。采用部分最小二乘方法建立上述激发波长下荧光发射光谱水质分析子模型,根据岭回归法计算各子模型的组合系数,分别得到对TOC和COD指标的组合模型。实验结果表明：采用该方法得到的组合模型对TOC和COD两种指标的预测误差均方根(RMSEP)相比精度最高的单一荧光发射光谱子模型分别减小了15.4%和17.5%,相比未经模型选择的组合模型分别减小了6.1%和10.9%。     

界面势垒对碳纳米管场发射特性的影响

以界面势垒对碳纳米管(CNT)场发射的影响为研究目的,在硅衬底上引进很薄的二氧化硅层,以二氧化硅层作为绝缘势垒,然后在二氧化硅界面层上直接生长CNT,来研究二氧化硅绝缘势垒层对CNT场发射的影响。场发射结果为:Fowler-Nordheim(F-N)曲线分为两部分,高电场下偏离F-N曲线并趋于饱和。在双势垒模型的基础上,从电场在两势垒上的分布不同及电子在两势垒上的隧穿几率不同,理论上分析了界面势垒对场发射的影响:低电场下电子在界面势垒的隧穿几率大于在表面势垒的隧穿几率,界面势垒对场发射不起阻碍作用,场发射遵守F-N规律;高电场下电子在界面势垒的隧穿几率小于在表面势垒的隧穿几率,场发射偏离F-N规律。理论对实验结果进行了合理的解释。     

Influence of Cu electroplating solutions on boron carbon nitride (BCN) film

Cu electroplating is required for the fabrication of Cu/low-k interconnections. The permeation of a plating solution into low-k films during Cu electroplating is a serious challenge for 45-nm nodes and more complex devices. We investigated the influence of Cu electroplating solutions on boron carbon nitride (BCN) as a low-k film. After dipping it into a Cu electroplating solution that contained additives, the BCN film's hydrophilic surface changed to a hydrophobic surface, and the incorporation of water into the BCN film was suppressed by surfactant adsorption. Sulfuric residue was detected on the BCN sample by thermal desorption spectroscopy after treatment in the Cu electroplating solution with additives; however, it was found through electrical measurements that this solution did not affect the leakage current or the dielectric constant of the BCN film. We successfully fabricated an electroplating Cu layer on a BCN film with good adhesion, and we believe that this BCN film is a sufficiently useful material for Cu/BCN integration in LSI.

基于石墨相氮化碳量子点直接荧光猝灭法检测碘离子的研究

石墨相氮化碳(g-C₃N₄)荧光纳米材料具有原料便宜、制备容易、荧光量子产率高、光学稳定性好、毒性低等优点,并且避免有机荧光染料复杂的合成步骤或者金属半导体量子点对环境潜在的危害,这些优点使得g-C₃N₄纳米材料成为新兴的荧光探针用于检测金属离子。最近,已有文献报道重金属汞离子能够高灵敏高选择性地猝灭g-C₃N₄量子点的荧光,加入碘离子能够提取被键合的汞离子形成碘化汞(HgI₂)进而恢复g-C₃N₄量子点的荧光,从而建立一种高灵敏检测碘离子的荧光传感器。然而,该方法依然需要重金属汞离子的参与,限制了该方法的推广应用。通过硝酸氧化块体g-C₃N₄并结合水热法处理制备了一种水溶性好、荧光强度高的g-C₃N₄量子点。该量子点的荧光发射波长位于368 nm,且其荧光发射波长不随激发波长的改变而改变,表明该量子点的尺寸比较均一。笔者发现碘离子在220 nm处有一个较强的吸收峰,与该量子点的激发光谱(中心波长245 nm)具有较大的重叠,从而产生内滤效应引起该量子点的荧光发生猝灭。利用这一性质,构建了一种选择性检测碘离子的新型荧光传感器。在最优检测条件下,g-C₃N₄量子点的荧光猝灭强度(ΔF)与碘离子浓度(X,μmol·L-1)在10～400 μmol·L-1之间具有良好的线性关系,线性方程为ΔF=0.325 79X+6.039 05(R2=0.999 5),检出限为5.0 μmol·L-1。通过“混合即检测”并且不需要借助与重金属离子的配位作用就能够检测碘离子,因此该方法具有快速、环保以及操作简便等优点。     

Relation between interfacial shear strength and compressive strength of carbon fiber/epoxy resin composite strands

The mechanism with which the fiber-matrix interfacial strength exerts its influence on the compressive strength of fiber reinforced composites has been studied by measuring the axial compressive strength of carbon fiber/epoxy resin unidirectional composite strands having different levels of interfacial shear strength. The composite strands are used for experiments in order to investigate the compressive strength which is not affected by the delamination taking place at a weak interlayer of the laminated composites. The interfacial strength is varied by applying various degrees of liquid-phase surface treatment to the fibers. The efficiency of the compressive strength of the fibers utilized in the strength of the composite strands is estimated by measuring the compressive strength of the single carbon filaments with a micro-compression test. The compressive strength of the composite strands does not increase monotonically with increasing interfacial shear strength but showes lower values at higher interfacial shear strengths. With increasing interfacial shear strength, the suppression of the interfacial failure in the misaligned fiber region increases the compressive strength, while at higher interfacial shear strengths, the enhancement of the crack sensitivity decreases the compressive strength.
