Si-doped CVD diamond films were deposited on Si substrate by adding tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) into acetone as source of reactant gas. The morphology and microstructure of diamond films were characterized by scanning electron microcopy (SEM). The crystalline quality of diamond films was studied by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). The surface roughness of the films was evaluated with surface profilometer. The results suggest that Si doping tends to reduce the crystallite size, enhance grain refinement and inhibit the appearance of (11 I) facets. Raman spectra indicate that Si doping can enhance the formation of sp2 phase in diamond films. Moreover, Raman signal of SiC was detected, which suggests the existence of Si in the diamond films. Smooth fine-grained diamond (SFGD) film was synthesized at Si to C ratio of 1%.展开更多

The high quality nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) film is successfully deposited by double bias voltage nucleation and grid bias voltage growth. The Micro-Raman XRD SEM and AFM are used to investigate the diamond grain size, microstructure, surface morphology, and nucleation density. Results show that the obtained NCD has grain size of about 20 nm. The effect of grid bias voltage on the nucleation and the diamond growth is studied. Experimental results and theoretical analysis show that the positive grid bias increases the plasma density near the hot filaments, enhances the diamond nucleation, keeps the nanometer size of the diamond grains, and improves the quality of diamond film.展开更多

Synthesized zeolites were studied based on the SEM (scanning electron microscopy), XRD (x-ray diffraction) and chemical analysis. The porous structure of these zeolites was investigated by nitrogen low-temperature adsorption. It has been illustrated that regulation of the BEA/MOR co-crystalline zeolites phase composition is possible due to variations of the initial alumosilicate gels composition and hydrogen ions concentration. Zeolites containing the co-crystalline phases of BEA/MOR could to be attractive in the processes using the catalysts, which based on the pure phases BEA or MOR zeolites.展开更多

The results show that the spinel phase of Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 powders begins to form at a relatively low temperature (130 ℃) and a shorter holding time (1 h) when pH=8. The crystallization kinetics equation at 200℃ is ln[-ln(1-x)] =-0.78+0.951n t. The growth activation energy of Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 grains is 41.6 kJ/moL in hydrothermal synthesis process. With the increase of sintering temperature, the density and diameter shrinkage of ferrite circulus increase, whereas its pores decrease. The results of magnetic measurements show that saturation magnetic flux density Bs increases and the coercivity Hc decreases with the increase of their sintering temperature. Magnetic parameters of all the investigated samples satisfy the character demand of high Bs, low Br and low Hc of soft magnetic ferrite materials.展开更多

The results show that they formed during the late Early Cretaceous. Geochemically,the volcanic rocks are relatively enriched in large-ion lithophile elements( Rb,K,and Th) and depleted in high field strength elements( Nb,Ta,and Ti),and rich in light rare earth elements,and depleted in heavy rare earth elements. The fact indicates that the main body of the volcanic rocks in the Qushenla Formation was derived from the partial melting of lower crust. The lithological assemblages are characterized by continental high-K calc-alkaline and shoshonitic series,suggesting that the southward-subducting oceanic slab in southern Bangong Lake had break off and that the Bangong Lake-Nujiang Ocean had closed before 107 Ma. The main dynamic mechanisms for the genesis of this set of intermediate-acidic volcanic rocks were upwelling of the asthenosphere and partial melting of the lower crust caused by slab break-off.展开更多

However the growth mechanism for tuning SWNT density using the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method is still not well understood, preventing the development of efficient ways to obtain the desired results. Here we report a general "periodic" approach that achieves ultrahigh density modulation of SWNT arrays on ST-cut quartz substrates--with densities increased by up to -60 times compared with conventional methods using the same catalyst densities--by varying the CH4 gas "off" time. This approach is applicable to a wide range of initial catalyst densities, substrates, catalyst types and growth conditions. We propose a general mechanism for the catalyst size-dependent nucleation of SWNTs associated with different free carbon concentrations, which explains all the observations. Moreover, the validity of the model is supported by systematic experiments involving the variation of key parameters in the "periodic" CVD approach.展开更多

The use of spherical rather than cylindrical block copolymers allows homogeneous patterning of cm-scale areas without any substrate surface treatment. Raman spectroscopy was used to study the con- trolled generation of point defects in the graphene lattice with increasing etching time, confirming that alongside the nanomesh patterning, the nanopatterned CVD graphene presents a high defect density between the mesh holes. The nanopatterned samples showed sensitivities for NO2 of more than one order of magnitude higher than for non-patterned graphene. NO2 concentrations as low as 300 ppt were detected with an ultimate detection limit of tens of ppt. This is the smallest value reported so far for non-UV illuminated graphene chemiresistive NO2 gas sensors. The dramatic improvement in the gas sensitivity is believed to be due to the high adsorption site density, thanks to the combination of edge sites and point defect sites. This work opens the possibility of large area fabrication of nanopatterned graphene with extremely high densities of adsorption sites for sensing applications.展开更多

The emerging liquid metal catalyst possesses the characteristic of quasi-atomically smooth surface with high diffusion rate. In principle, it should be a naturally ideal platform for the lowdensity nucleation and the fast growth of graphene. However,the rapid growth of large graphene single crystals on liquid metals has not received the due attention. In this paper, we firstly purposed the insight into the rapid growth of large graphene single crystals on liquid metals. We obtained the millimeter-size graphene single crystals on liquid Cu. The rich free-electrons in liquid Cu accelerate the nucleation, and the isotropic smooth surface greatly suppresses the nucleation.Moreover, the fast mass-transfer of carbon atoms due to the excellent fluidity of liquid Cu promotes the fast growth with a rate up to 79 μm s^-1. We hope the research on the growth speed of graphene on liquid Cu can enrich the recognition of the growth behavior of two-dimensional(2 D) materials on the liquid metal. We also believe that the liquid metal strategy for the rapid growth of graphene can be extended to various 2 D materials and thus promote their future applications in the photonics and electronics.展开更多

Graphene is typically synthesized on the surface of metal and then transferred to an appropriate substrate for fabricating device applications. This post growth transfer process is detrimental to the quality and performance of the as-grown graphene. Therefore, direct growth of graphene films on dielectric substrates without any transfer process is highly desirable. However, fast growth of graphene on dielectric substrates remains challenging. Here, we demonstrate a transfer-free chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method to directly grow graphene films on dielectric substrates at fast growth rate using Cu as floating catalyst. A large area (centimeter level) graphene can be grown within 15 min using this CVD method, which is increased by 500 times compared to other direct CVD growth on dielectric substrate in the literatures. This research presents a significant progress in transfer-free growth of graphene and graphene device applications.展开更多

文摘A positive grid bias and a negative substrate bias voltages are applied to the self-made hot filament chemical vapor deposited (HFCVD) system. The high quality nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) film is successfully deposited by double bias voltage nucleation and grid bias voltage growth. The Micro-Raman XRD SEM and AFM are used to investigate the diamond grain size, microstructure, surface morphology, and nucleation density. Results show that the obtained NCD has grain size of about 20 nm. The effect of grid bias voltage on the nucleation and the diamond growth is studied. Experimental results and theoretical analysis show that the positive grid bias increases the plasma density near the hot filaments, enhances the diamond nucleation, keeps the nanometer size of the diamond grains, and improves the quality of diamond film.
