In the present study, we used low-energy nitrogen ion implantation on fly ash to improve its surface properties. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) were used to study the changes of physical and chemical properties of fly ash after N+ ion implantation, and the mechanism of fly ash modified by ion implantation. In the optimal implantation with energy of 5 keV and dose Of 15D0, the ion beam could effectively increase the specific surface area (approximately 150% increase) of the fly ash. Lots of scratches were generated in the surface of the fly ash after N+ ion implantation, therefore it is good for enhancing the specific surface area. Experimental results show that the ion implantation could open the chemical bonds of Si-O, Si-A1 and Al-O, and deposit nitrogen ions on the surface of fly ash.展开更多

Using home-made ion probe with computer-based data acquisition system, the ion current density as functions of discharge power, gas pressure and positions was measured. A double-hump shape was found in ion current density curve after the analysis of the effects of power and pressure. The data demonstrate that ion current density increases with the increase in gas pressure in spite of slightly at the double-hump site, sharply at wave-trough and side positions. Simultaneously, the ion current density increases upon increase in power. Es- pecially, the ion current density steeply increases at the double-hump site. The highest energy of the secondary electrons arising from Larmor precession was found at the double-hump position, which results in high ion density. The target was etched seriously at the double-hump position due to the high ion density there. The data indicates that the increase in power can lead to a high sputtering speed rate.展开更多

It is found that the films each have a highly oriented structure along the c-axis. For optimally doped films with x ≈ 0.10, the superconducting transition temperature Tc is 25.5 K, which is similar to that of a single crystal. The quadratic temperature dependence of the resistivity is observed when T 〉 To, which can be attributed to the two-dimensional Fermi liquid behaviour. Besides, the optimal conditions for preparing the T1-phase PLCCO thin films are also discussed in detail.展开更多

Indium content in the targets varied from 1at% to 9at%. In doping on the structure, optical and electrical properties of Zn O thin films were studied. X-ray diffraction shows that all the films are hexagonal wurtzite with c-axis perpendicular to the substrates. There is a positive strain in the films and it increases with indium content. All the films show a high transmittance of 86% in the visible light region. Undoped Zn O thin film exhibits a high transmittance in the near infrared region. The transmittance of indium doped Zn O thin films decreases sharply in the near infrared region, and a cut-off wavelength can be found. The lowest resistivity of 4.3×10^(-4) Ω·cm and the highest carrier concentration of 1.86×10^(21) cm^(-3) can be obtained from Zn O thin films with an indium content of 5at% in the target.展开更多
