The multifractal analyses for three films were made using height from a depth of thickness of film B and q from 55 to -55. The scale- invariance is very good for all lncq(e)~lne plots and t(q)~q plots at least close to three orders of magnitude. But the multifractal spectra f(a) of the films are quite distinct due to their different height distribution.展开更多

The surface morphology,composition and thickness and the electrochemical behaviors of the prepared Sn thin film were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD),inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry(ICP),cyclic voltammetry(CV) and galvanostatic charge/ discharge(GC) measurements. It is found that the Sn film is consists of pure Sn with an average particle diameter of 100 nm. The thickness of the film is about 320 nm. The initial lithium insertion capacity of the Sn film is 771 mA·h/g. The reversible capacity of the film is 570 mA·h/g and kept at 270 mA·h/g after 20 cycles.展开更多
