It is observed that the derived thin films are c-axis oriented although the substrates are polycrystalline AI203 substrates, suggesting the self-assembled c-axis orientation. The annealing temperature effects on the properties are investigated and discussed. The best performances are attributed to the 850 ℃-annealed sample, whose resistivity, Seebeck coefficient and power factor at 300 K are 7.4 mΩ cm, 117 μV/K and 0.18 mW/m K-2 respectively, which is even better than those of the thin films deposited on single crystal substrates. The results will provide an effective route to optimize the properties of Ca3Co409 thin films using chemical solution deposition by multiple annealing processing even the substrates are polycrystalline.展开更多

An open-circuit voltage with a rise time of about 10 ns and full width at half maximum of about 28 ns is detected when the film surface is irradiated by a 308-nm laser pulse with a duration of 25 ns. Besides, opemcircuit voltage signals are also observed when the film surface is irradiated separately by the laser pulses of 532 nm and 1064 nm. The results indicate that Ca3Co4O9 thin films have a great potential application in the wide range photodetctor from the ultraviolet to near infrared regions.展开更多

The best resulting surface shows superhydrophobic properties with a water contact angle of about 158° and a low water roll-off angle of around 3°. The prepared samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction（XRD）, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy（EDX）, transmission electron microscopy（TEM）, and scanning electron microscopy（SEM）. SEM images of the films show that the resulting surface exhibits flower-shaped micro- and nano-structure. The surfaces of the prepared films were composed of ZnO nanorods which were wurtzite structure. The special flower-like micro- and nano-structure along with the low surface energy leads to the surface superhydro- phobicity.展开更多

The effect of varying percentage of the polymer addition on the preparation of the deposited films with maximum crack-free thickness was investigated. This novel water-based chemical solution deposition method involving polymers in two different chelate-chemistry compositions revealed the possibility to grow single, crack-free layers with thicknesses ranging from 140 to 280 nm, with good crystallinity and epitaxial growth. The effect of increasing polymer concentrations on the morphology and the structure of the films was studied. The appropriate buffer layer action of the films in preventing Ni diffusion was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.展开更多

The ZnO nanostructures are grown on a silicon wafer by a modified chemical solution method （CSD, chemical-solution-deposition） with a two-step thermal-oxidation approach. The synthesis process can be completed within 1 h. By varying the mixture-ratio of Zn micro-particles in an oxalic acid solution with 0.75 mol/l concentration in the CSD process, the growth mechanism is well-controlled to synthesize three different types of ZnO-nanostructures （i.e., dandelion-like nanostructures, columnar nanostructures, and nanowires）. Furthermore, through oxidizing at different temperatures in the thermal-oxidation process, the featured geometry of the nanostructures （e.g., the length and diameter of a nanowire） is modified. The geometry, size, morphology, crystallization, and material phase of the modified nanostructures are characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Finally, the nanostructures are used to fabricate several micro power-generators. Through the piezoelectric effect, a maximum current density output of 0.28 μA cm-2 generated by a power-generator under an ultrasonic wave is observed.展开更多

The structure, surface morphology and the dielectric and tunable properties of Bao.6Sro.4TiO3 thin films have been studied in detail. The K content in Ba0.6Sro.4TiO3 thin films has a strong influence on the material＇s properties including surface morphology and the dielectric and tunable properties. It was found that the Curie temperature of K-doped Bao.6Sr0.4TiO3 films shifts to a higher value compared with that of undoped Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 thin films, which leads to a dielectric enhancement of K-doped Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 films at room temperature. At the optimized content of 0.02 mol, the dielectric loss tangent is reduced significantly from 0.057 to 0.020. Meanwhile, the tunability is enhanced obviously from 26% to 48% at the measured frequency of 1 MHz and the maximum value of the figure of merit is 23.8. This suggests that such films have potential applications for tunable devices.展开更多

A large open-circuit voltage signal with the response time of tens of nanosecond was observed at room temperature when the Ca3Co409 layer of the heterojunction was illuminated under the 308 nm irradiation and no voltage signal was detected under the 10.6 gun irradiation. A mechanism based on the photovoltaic effect of a p-n junction was proposed to explain the experimental results.

文摘To increase the critical thickness of CeO2 single buffer layer,the polymer assisted chemical solution deposition(PACSD)approach has been adopted to prepare a single buffer layer of Gd0.3Ce0.7O1.85-x(GCO)on bi-axially textured Ni-5%W alloy substrate,and the influences of different annealing temperatures on texture and microstructure of the buffer layer has also been studied in this paper.The results demonstrate that a well textured,dense and smooth GCO single buffer layer with thickness of 180 nm has been obtained at 1100℃annealing treatment.GdBa2Cu3O7-y(GBCO)film has been deposited on GCO buffered substrate via the similar approach,which is also well textured,dense and smooth.All these show that preparation of GCO buffer layer by PACSD method is an effective approach to prepare single buffer layer for large scale production.
文摘IN the process of forecasts, analyses and numerical treatments of the ground water resource, we often meet with various chemical reaction models. One type of them is three kinds of chemical substance M<sub>1</sub>, M<sub>2</sub> and M<sub>3</sub> which can react with each other to produce two new kinds of other chemical compounds: （M<sub>2</sub>）<sub>n</sub> （M<sub>1</sub>）<sub>m</sub> and （M<sub>3</sub>）<sub>r</sub> （M<sub>1</sub>）<sub>κ</sub> at the same time. Usually, these reactions are irreversible and they have the following forms:
文摘Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)has been used in prevention and treatment of disease in clinical practice for thousands of years,with an indispensable role of multiple ingredients.Thus,a rapid and effective chemical ingredients analysis was of necessary to be established for the evaluation of the holistic quality of TCM.As could afford the data with high resolution and high sensitivity,

文摘A chemical solution deposition technique was applied to fabricate single-phase 0.9PbTiO_(3)–0.1SmFeO_(3)thin films on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates.The film was determined as a tetragonal perovskite structure by synchrotron radiation grazing incident X-ray diffraction(GI-XRD).
文摘ZnO nanowires（NWs）layers have been synthesized using a two-step chemical solution method on ITO glass substrates coated with ZnO seeds at different immersing times.The structures,morphology and optical properties of the synthesized ZnO NWs have been investigated.The prepared ZnO NWs have an obvious polycrystalline hexangular wurtzite structure and are preferentially oriented along the c-axis（002）.FESEM micrographs showed that the prepared ZnO NWs are close to being vertically grown and more densely at higher immersing times.Poly[2-methoxy-5（2-′-ethyl-hexyloxy）-1,4-phenylenevinylene],MEH-PPV,was used as an active layer to prepare three samples of MEH-PPV/ZnO solar cell based on ZnO NWs that were prepared at different immersing times.A maximum power conversion efficiency of 0.812%was achieved for MEH-PPV/ZnO solar cell prepared at a higher immersing time.The improved efficiency may be attributed to the enhancement of both open-circuit voltage and fill factor.

文摘Ca3Co409/Nb-SrTiO3 heterojunction with good rectifying behavior at room temperature was fabricated by growing a layer of Ca3Co409 film on the lwt% Nb-doped SrTiO3 substrate by means of the chemical solution deposition technique. A large open-circuit voltage signal with the response time of tens of nanosecond was observed at room temperature when the Ca3Co409 layer of the heterojunction was illuminated under the 308 nm irradiation and no voltage signal was detected under the 10.6 gun irradiation. A mechanism based on the photovoltaic effect of a p-n junction was proposed to explain the experimental results. The present work shows a great potential of this new heterojunction as photoelectric devices.
