The deposited films were annealed at different temperatures in air. The structural measurements indicate that the films annealed below 300℃ were amorphous, while the films annealed at 400 ℃ were mixed crystalline with hexagonal and triclinic phases of WO3. It was observed that the crystallization of the annealed films becomes more and more distinct with an increase in the annealing temperature. At 400 ℃, nanorod-like structures were observed on the film surface when the annealing time was increased from 60 min to 180 min. The presence of W=O stretching, W-O-W stretching, W-O-W bending and various lattice vibration modes were observed in Raman measurements. The optical absorption behaviors of the films in the range of 450-800 nm are very different with changing annealing temperatures from the room temperature to 400 ℃. After annealing at 400 ℃, the film becomes almost transparent. Increasing annealing time at 400 ℃ can lead to a small blue shift of the optical gap of the film.展开更多

It was found that the sonic velocity of the blends decreased as thetemperature increased, but attenuation coefficient increased and possessed a peak value. Largervelocity and smaller attenuation coefficient(α)can be obtained from perfect crosslinking networkstructures of pure DGEBA cured with phthalic anhydride(PA). As for cured DGEBA/PEO blendsystems,sonic velocity decreased as a function of PEO concentration,but attenuation coefficient(α) increased.展开更多

The EOET-LiClO_4 electrolytes exhibit not only high ionic conductivity, but also good mechanical strengthand toughness. The EOET 3400--25--LiClO_4 complex possesses the highest conductivity (4. 65×10^(-5)s·cm^(-1) at room temperature when the ratio [Li^+]/[EO] equals 1/16. The structures of these electrolytes were examined with FTIR analysis, X-ray diffractionand DSC thermograms, and the results of high ionic conductivity of the segmented copolymerswere discussed.展开更多

The samples were characterized by atomic force microscopy, spectrophotometer, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The extinction coefficient and refractive index decrease, while the optical transmittance increases with the increase of OFR from 0 to 17 sccm. The root mean square surface roughness has a maximum at 10 sccm OFR. The highest deposition rate is at 15 sccm OFR. Our results show that the films deposited at 20 sccm OFR are stoichiometric silica with relatively high deposition rate, low extinction coefficient, and low surface roughness. Therefore, a precise control of OFR is very important to obtain high quality films for optical applications.展开更多

The surface roughness depended on the substrate temperature, and the transition of surface morphology of rough→smooth→rough was observed when the substrate temperature increased from -50 to 120℃. Although the rms values are similar, the scaling properties of the thermal roughing and the kinetic roughing surfaces are quite different. The relations between the scaling properties, microstructures and roughing mechanisms are discussed based on the AFM and TEM results.展开更多
