In this paper,Sn-doped Ga_(2)O_(3) films were prepared on a sapphire substrate by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. The films were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and ultraviolet visible spectroscopy, and the effect of annealing atmosphere on the properties of films was studied. The Ga_(2)O_(3) films changed from amorphous to β-Ga_(2)O_(3) after annealing at 900 °C. The films were composed of micro crystalline particles with a diameter of about 5–20 nm.The β-Ga_(2)O_(3) had high transmittance for wavelengths above 300 nm, and obvious absorption for solar-blind signals at 200–280 nm.The metal semiconductor metal type solar-blind detectors were prepared. The detector based on Sn-doped β-Ga_(2)O_(3) thin film annealed in N_2 has the best response performance to 254 nm light. The photo-current is 10 μA at 20 V, the dark-current is 5.76 pA,the photo dark current ratio is 1.7 × 10~6, the response rate is 12.47 A/W, the external quantum efficiency is 6.09 × 10~3%, the specific detection rate is 2.61 × 10~(12) Jones, the response time and recovery time are 378 and 90 ms, respectively.展开更多

X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray Phtoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to analyze the microstructure variation of ZnO QDs and the chemical environment of Pr3+ with increasing Pr3+ doping concentrations. Most of Pr3+ ions distribute on the surface ofZnO QDs while a few of them penetrate into the ZnO lattice to substitute Zn2+ which causes the lattice distortion and the change of the crystal size. With increasing concentration of Pr3+ ions, the crystal size of ZnO QDs firstly increases and then decreases meanwhile the amorphization gradually increases. New Pr-O-Zn bonds formed after Pr3+ doping and Pr3+ ions have at least two chemical bonding environments: one is Pr-O-Zn bond and the other is Pr-O bond surrounded by oxygen vacancies.展开更多

The as-prepared Zr-doped CaTiO3 samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS) and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS). XRD result revealed the presence of single perovskite phase of CaTiO3. UV-Vis diffusive reflection spectra of Zr-doped CaTiO3 indicated that the absorbance obviously increased in the visible light irradiation. XPS analysis showed that two types of oxygen existed on the photocatalyst surface, including lattice oxygen and absorbed oxygen. Their photocatalytic activity in the case of the degradation of methyl orange in water and photoelectrochemical activity were also tested. The 5%Zr-doped (mole fraction) CaTiO3 sample showed the highest photocatalytic activity. The enhanced photocatalytic activity was ascribed to the change of the lattice structure, existence of oxygen vacancies and increase of the photogenerated charge separation efficiency.展开更多
