SYNTHESIS OF PPCuPc FILM BY MICROWAVE PLASMA CHEMICAL VAPORIZATION DEPOSITION(MPCVD)

Using a low power microwave generator(W_(max)=100W) and a Surfatron discharge device, Plasma-polymerized copper phthalocyanine (PPCuPc) film was synthesised from monomer copper phthalocyanine(CuPc) by microwave plasma chemical vaporization deposition(MPCVD) with Ar as incorporation gas. The film was characterized by FTIR and ESCA. The role of dissociation of chemical bond in the polymerization process and the influence of substrate temperature and material on deposition were investigated in some detail.

Advances in scalable gas-phase manufacturing and processing of nanostructured solids： A review

Although the gas-phase production of nanostructured solids has already been carried out in industry for decades, only in recentyears has research interest in this topic begun to increase. Nevertheless, despite the remarkable scientific progress made recently, many long-established processes are still used in industry. Scientific advancements can potentially lead to the improvement of existing industrial processes, but also to the development of completely new routes. This paper aims to review state-of-the-art synthesis and processing technologies, as well as the recent developments in academic research. Flame reactors that produce inorganic nanoparticles on industrial- and lab-scales are described, alongside a detailed overview of the different systems used for the production of carbon nanotubes and graphene. We discuss the problems of agglomeration and mixing of nanoparticles, which are strongly related to synthesis and processing. Finally, we focus on two promising processing techniques, namely nanoparticle fluidization and atomic layer deposition.

Stacking monolayers at will:A scalable device optimization strategy for two-dimensional semiconductors

In comparison to monolayer(1L),multilayer(ML)two-dimensional(2D)semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides(TMDs)exhibit more application potential for electronic and optoelectronic devices due to their improved current carrying capability,higher mobility,and broader spectral response.However,the investigation of devices based on wafer-scale ML-TMDs is still restricted by the synthesis of uniform and high-quality ML films.In this work,we propose a strategy of stacking MoS_(2) monolayers via a vacuum transfer method,by which one could obtain wafer-scale high-quality MoS_(2) films with the desired number of layers at will.The optical characteristics of these stacked ML-MoS_(2) films(>2L)indicate a weak interlayer coupling.The stacked MLMoS_(2) phototransistors show improved optoelectrical performances and a broader spectral response(approximately 300-1,000 nm)than that of 1L-MoS_(2).Additionally,the dual-gate ML-MoS_(2) transistors enable enhanced electrostatic control over the stacked ML-MoS_(2) channel,and the 3L and 4L thicknesses exhibit the optimal device performances according to the turning point of the current on/off ratio and the subthreshold swing.
