Defect induced ferromagnetism in carbon-doped ZnO thin films

We report on room temperature ferromagnetism in C-doped ZnO thin films prepared by electron beam evaporation. Magnetization, Hall effect, X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction studies have been conducted to investigate the source and nature of ferromagnetism in C-doped ZnO. The samples were observed to have n-type conduction with the carrier concentration increasing with C doping. XPS does not give any evidence for C substituted at the O site, and is more consistent with the formation of C-O bonds and with the presence of C primarily in the +4 state. It is suggested that the ferromagnetism originates in the development of Zn vacancies that are stabilized due to the incorporation of C in a high valence state (C⁴⁺).     

超声喷雾热解法制备SnS薄膜的物性研究

用超声喷雾热解法制备SnS多晶薄膜,对比了三种不同前驱液配比浓度对SnS薄膜性能的影响。XRD测试表明,当前驱液为硫脲(0.5 mol·L-1)+四氯化锡(0.5 mol·L-1)+去离子水时,SnO2的衍射峰强度比较大;当前驱液为硫脲(0.6 mol·L-1)+四氯化锡(0.5 mol·L-1)+去离子水时,SnS的衍射峰占主要地位,其中也含有一定量的SnO2;当前驱液为硫脲(0.7 mol·L-1)+四氯化锡(0.5 mol·L-1)+去离子水时,退火后的薄膜为单一的SnS薄膜,具有斜方晶系结构。SEM观测发现,薄膜均匀、致密,前驱液中硫脲浓度较大时,颗粒也较大。透过谱测试表明,浓度对薄膜透过率影响较小。结合器件的暗I-V和C-V测试,用三种前驱液配比浓度所制备的器件的结特性差异不大;当前驱液中硫脲浓度较大时,载流子浓度相对较大。

Effect of heat treatment on the structure and morphology of ZnO nanorod array and its composite with titania precursor

ABSTRACT

Effects of the elevated temperature on the structure evolution of the ZnO nanorod array (ZNA) and their hybrid nanocomposite with layered (tetramethyl)ammonium titanate (LTMAT) prepared by the liquid phase deposition were investigated. The vertically oriented ZnO nanorods were deposited on a quartz plate by a chemical bath deposition method and then they were penetrated by the LTMAT using the dip-coating method from the water solution. As a result of such an experimental procedure, an assembly composed of the ZNA with LTMAT was obtained and called hybrid nanocomposite. Since the LTMAT converts to TiO₂ upon subsequent sintering at 350 °C, it can be regarded as TiO₂ precursor for the thermal treatment experiments. The experiments with ZNA and their hybrid nanocomposite at the elevated temperature revealed coalescence of the deposited ZnO nanorods and crystallization of zinc titanate with Zn₂TiO₄ stoichiometry.

Probing Ag nanoparticle surface oxidation in contact with (in)organics: an X‐ray scattering and fluorescence yield approach

Characterizing interfacial reactions is a crucial part of understanding the behavior of nanoparticles in nature and for unlocking their functional potential. Here, an advanced nanostructure characterization approach to study the corrosion processes of silver nanoparticles (Ag‐Nps), currently the most highly produced nanoparticle for nanotechnology, is presented. Corrosion of Ag‐Nps under aqueous conditions, in particular in the presence of organic matter and halide species common to many natural environments, is of particular importance because the release of toxic Ag⁺ from oxidation/dissolution of Ag‐Nps may strongly impact ecosystems. In this context, Ag‐Nps capped with polyvinolpyrrolidone (PVP) in contact with a simple proxy of organic matter in natural waters [polyacrylic acid (PAA) and Cl^? in solution] has been investigated. A combination of synchrotron‐based X‐ray standing‐wave fluorescence yield‐ and X‐ray diffraction‐based experiments on a sample consisting of an approximately single‐particle layer of Ag‐Nps deposited on a silicon substrate and coated by a thin film of PAA containing Cl revealed the formation of a stable AgCl corrosion product despite the presence of potential surface stabilizers (PVP and PAA). Diffusion and precipitation processes at the Ag‐Nps–PAA interface were characterized with a high spatial resolution using this new approach.
