The dependences of the sputtering yield on the incident ion energy, the incident angle and the number of Gallium (Ga) and Arsenic (As) ions are predicted. The abnormal sputtering yield for As at 90 keV occurs when the incident angle reaches the range between 82° and 84°.展开更多

When used as the anode in lithium ion batteries, the uniformly deposited amorphous silicon (a-Si) works as the active material to store electrical energy, and the pre-coated carbon nanofibers (CNFs) serve as both the electron conducting pathway and a strain/stress relaxation layer for the sputtered a-Si layers during the intercalation process of lithium ions. As a result, the as-fabricated lithium ion batteries, with deposited a-Si thicknesses of 200 nm or 300 nm, not only exhibit a high specific capacity of 〉2000 mA.h/g, but also show a good capacity retention of over 80% and Coulombic efficiency of 〉98% after a large number of charge/discharge experiments. Our approach offers an efficient and scalable method to obtain silicon-carbon nanostructured composites for application in lithium ion batteries.展开更多

The role of ion bombardment in the growth of mc-Si:H films was studied with increasing negative bias voltages on the substrate holder from 0 to -100 V. Raman scattering, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were performed to investigate the microstructure changes of deposited Si films. Raman scattering showed that the high energy ion bombardment resulted in crystalline degradation of Si films. The XRD results showed the decrease and even elimination of preferential growth orientation of crystalline Si films with ion bombardment energy increase. The SiH bonding configuration changes and the increase of bonded hydrogen concentration were determined with the analysis of FTIR spectra. Furthermore, the dramatic evolution of cross-sectional morphology of Si thin films was detected by TEM observation.展开更多
