However, the sample size effect on the Hall-Petch relation was always ignored. In the present study, the mechanical test and microstructure observation were performed to investigate the combined effects of grain and sample sizes on the deformation behaviors of gold microwires. The polycrystalline gold microwires with diameter of 16 ?m were annealed at temperatures from 100°C to 600°C, leading to different ratios(t/d) of wire diameter(t) to grain size(d) from 0.9 to 16.7. When the t/d was lower than 10, the yield stress dropped fast and deviated from the Hall-Petch relation. The free-surface grains played key role in the yield stress softening, and the volume fraction of free-surface grains increased with the t/d decreasing. Furthermore, the effects of t/d on work-hardening behaviors and fracture modes were also studied. With t/d value decreasing from 17 to 3.4, the samples exhibited necking fracture and the dislocation pile-ups induced work-hardening stage was gradually activated.With the t/d value further decreasing(t/d < 3.4), the fracture mode turned into shear failure, and the work-hardening capability lost. As the gold microwire for wire bonding is commonly applied in the packaging of integrated circuit chips, and the fabrication of microwire suffers multi-pass cold-drawing and annealing treatments to control the grain size. The present study could provide instructive suggestion for gold microwire fabrication and bonding processes.展开更多

Differential scanning calorimeter measurements show that nanocrystalline magnetic phase （α-Fe） has been formed in the amorphous matrix when it was annealed at 600℃. Hard magnetic phase （Fe2B） was formed in the microwires annealed at 750℃, which increases the magnetic coercivity. Microwave permittivity and permeability are found to be dependent on the microstruetures. The permittivity fitting results show that multi Lorentzian dispersion processes exist. For microwires annealed at 750℃, their resonance peaks due to the domain wall movements and natural resonance are found higher than those of microwires annealed at 600℃. The microwave absorption performance of microwires annealed at 600℃ is found better than microwires annealed at 750℃.展开更多

The effect of annealing treatment on the microwaw electromagnetic properties of FeCuNbSiB wires/wax composites has been investigated for the first time. It is found that in a frequency range of 0.5-4.0 GHz, the complex permittivity, permeability, magnetic and electric loss tangents of FeCuNbSiB wires/wax composites are strongly dependent on the annealing temperature and frequency. For T = 573, 723 and 773K, two resonance peaks are found at frequency f = 1.2 and 3.3GHz. However, for T = 673K, only one resonance peak occurs at f = 3.3 GHz. The resonance peak at f = 1.2 GHz is believed to be due to the stress-induced anisotropy, while the resonance peak at f = 3.3 GHz is attributed to the random anisotropy.展开更多

Polystyrene microspheres with the diameter of 10 μm were coated with a 50 nmthick gold layer using an electroless gold plating approach. Dielectrophoresis （DEP） for bare microspheres and shelled microspheres was theoretically analysed and the real part of the Clausius Mossotti factor was calculated for the two kinds of microspheres. The experiments on the dielectrophoretic characterisation of the uncoated polystyrene microspheres and gold coated polystyrene microspheres （GCPMs） were carried out. Experimental results showed that the gold coated polystyrene microspheres were only acted by a positive dielectrophoretic force when the frequency was below 40M Hz, while the uncoated polystyrene microspheres were governed by a negative dielectrophoretic force in this frequency range. The gold coated polystyrene microspheres were exploited to form the rnicrowire automatically according to their stable dielectrophoretic and electric characterisations.展开更多

Meanwhile growth mechanism of the microwires is discussed. The agglomeration is based on the polarization and mobility of particles caused by alternating electric fields, commonly referred to as dielectrophoresis (DEP). The spatial distributions of the electric potential, field and dieletrophoretic force are analytically calculated in terms of AC electrokinetics. The calculated results show that the electrophoretic force, very strong near the apex of the microwire, drops abruptly with increasing distance. The electrophoretic force near the apex of the microwire agrees well with the fact that the nanoparticles are highly concentrated at the end of the tip and subsequently aggregate to extend the wire in the direction of the field gradient.展开更多

A comparative study on GMI properties of a single wire and two wires arranged in par- allel mode was reported in this work. Two-peak （TP） of impedance characteristic is presented when the dc external field changed from 0 to 320 A,m-＇ in two-wire system, which is attributed to successive magnetization process in two wires induced by their magnetic interaction. And the evolution of single peak to TP phenomenon, when the distance between two wires is upto 8 ram, evidences a distance dependence of transformation from successive magnetization to simultaneous via a corresponding dis- tance dependence of magnetostatic interactions. It is pro- posed that the recombination of magnetic interaction and the shielding effect results in a distance dependency of GMI response. When the distance is 8 ram, the magneti- zation process is close to synchronous between two wires, which give rises to higher circular permeability and better GMI response. The impedance ratio AZ/Z increases from 74.5 % of single wire to 172.4 % at 10 MHz. However, when the distance is upto 12 mm, the magnetic interaction is weak and magnetization process is completely independent, and GMI response decreases, relatively. This indicates that the GMI response could be effectively improved in a two-wire connection with an optical distance, which is promising and useful for the application of high-performance GMI sensors.展开更多

文摘Amorphous microwires(AMWs)are well known for their high strength and elastic limit,making them excellent candidates for various engineering applications.However,one of the key challenges in utilizing AMWs is their inherent variability in mechanical performance,particularly in achieving stable fracture strength across different compositions.This study provides critical insights into the relationship between microstructure and mechanical behavior by investigating CuZr-based AMWs with varying compositions during quasi-static tensile fracture.Specifically,uniaxial tensile tests on Cu_(48)Zr_(48)Al_(4),Cu_(45)Zr_(45)Co_(10),and Cu_(48)Zr_(47.2)Al_(4)Nb_(0.8) AMWs,combined with log-normal and Weibull statistical analysis,revealed that Cu_(48)Zr_(47.2)Al4Nb_(0.8) exhibits the highest fracture reliability(mTr=3.97)and fracture threshold(σμTr=1307 MPa),while Cu_(48)Zr_(48)Al_(4) showed the lowest performance(m_(Tr)=3.08,σ_(μTr)=1085 MPa).Moreover,a standard power-law relationship exists between the characteristic size L of the fracture surface and the degree of order O was established,linking atomic mixing enthalpy and atomic radius to structural homogeneity and fracture behavior.This study provides an important perspective for optimizing AMW compositions to achieve higher fracture strength and improve the reliability for engineering applications.

文摘Graphene monolayer has been extensively applied as a transparency electrode material in photoelectronic devices due to its high transmittance,high carrier mobility,and ultrafast carrier dynamics.In this study,a high-performance self-powered photodetector,which is made of a SnO_(2)microwire,p-type GaN film,and monolayer graphene transparent electrode,was proposed and fabricated.The detector is sensitive to ultraviolet light signals and illustrates pronounced detection performances,including a peak respon-sivity∼223.7 mA W^(-1),a detectivity∼6.9×10^(12)Jones,fast response speed(rising/decaying times∼18/580μs),and excellent external quantum efficiency∼77%at 360 nm light illumination without exter-nal power supply.Compared with the pristine SnO_(2)/GaN photodetector using ITO electrode,the device performances of responsivity and detectivity are significantly increased over 6×10^(3)%and 3×10^(3)%,respectively.The performance-enhanced characteristics are mainly attributed to the high-quality het-erointerface of n-SnO_(2)/p-GaN,the highly conductive capacity,and the unique transparency of graphene electrodes.Particularly,the built-in potential formed at the SnO_(2)/GaN heterojunction interface could be strengthened by the Schottky potential barrier derived from the graphene electrode and SnO_(2)wire,en-hancing the carrier collection efficiency through graphene as a charge collection medium.This work is of great importance and significance to developing excellent-performance ultraviolet photodetectors for photovoltaic and optoelectronic applications in a self-powered operation manner.

文摘In this paper,ultra-long and large-scaled ZnO microwire arrays are grown by the chemical vapor deposition method,and a single ZnO microwire-based non-balanced electric bridge ethanol gas sensor is fabricated.The experimental results show that the gas sensor has good repeatability,high response rate,short response,and recovery time at room temperature(25℃).The response rate of the gas sensor exposed to 90-ppm ethanol is about 93%,with a response time and recovery time are 0.3 s and 0.7 s respectively.As a contrast,the traditional resistive gas sensor of a single ZnO microwire shows very small gas response rate.Therefore,ethanol gas sensor based on non-balanced electric bridge can obviously enhance gas sensing characteristics,which provides a feasible method of developing the high performance ZnO-based gas sensor.

文摘Microspheres coated with a perfectly conductive surface have many advantages in the applications of biosensors and micro-electromechanical systems. Polystyrene microspheres with the diameter of 10 μm were coated with a 50 nmthick gold layer using an electroless gold plating approach. Dielectrophoresis （DEP） for bare microspheres and shelled microspheres was theoretically analysed and the real part of the Clausius Mossotti factor was calculated for the two kinds of microspheres. The experiments on the dielectrophoretic characterisation of the uncoated polystyrene microspheres and gold coated polystyrene microspheres （GCPMs） were carried out. Experimental results showed that the gold coated polystyrene microspheres were only acted by a positive dielectrophoretic force when the frequency was below 40M Hz, while the uncoated polystyrene microspheres were governed by a negative dielectrophoretic force in this frequency range. The gold coated polystyrene microspheres were exploited to form the rnicrowire automatically according to their stable dielectrophoretic and electric characterisations.

文摘The Dielectropheretic assembly of electrically functional microwires from nanopartical suspensions is introduced. Meanwhile growth mechanism of the microwires is discussed. The agglomeration is based on the polarization and mobility of particles caused by alternating electric fields, commonly referred to as dielectrophoresis (DEP). The spatial distributions of the electric potential, field and dieletrophoretic force are analytically calculated in terms of AC electrokinetics. The calculated results show that the electrophoretic force, very strong near the apex of the microwire, drops abruptly with increasing distance. The electrophoretic force near the apex of the microwire agrees well with the fact that the nanoparticles are highly concentrated at the end of the tip and subsequently aggregate to extend the wire in the direction of the field gradient.

文摘One-dimensional(1D)micro/nanowires of wide band gap semiconductors have become one of the most promising blocks of high-performance photodetectors.However,in the axial direction of micro/nanowires,the carriers can transport freely driven by an external electric field,which usually produces large dark current and low detectivity.Here,an UV photodetector built from three cross-intersecting ZnO microwires with double homo-interfaces is demonstrated by the chemical vapor deposition and physical transfer techniques.Compared with the reference device without interface,the dark current of this ZnO double-interface photodetector is significantly reduced by nearly 5 orders of magnitude,while the responsivity decreases slightly,thereby greatly improving the normalized photocurrent-to-dark current ratio.In addition,ZnO double-interface photodetector exhibits a much faster response speed(~0.65 s)than the no-interface device(~95 s).The improved performance is attributed to the potential barriers at the microwire-microwire homo-interfaces,which can regulate the carrier transport.Our findings in this work provide a promising approach for the design and development of high-performance photodetectors.

文摘Giant magneto-impedance （GMI） is effectively enhanced by the mutual magnetic interaction between two amorphous microwires. A comparative study on GMI properties of a single wire and two wires arranged in par- allel mode was reported in this work. Two-peak （TP） of impedance characteristic is presented when the dc external field changed from 0 to 320 A,m-＇ in two-wire system, which is attributed to successive magnetization process in two wires induced by their magnetic interaction. And the evolution of single peak to TP phenomenon, when the distance between two wires is upto 8 ram, evidences a distance dependence of transformation from successive magnetization to simultaneous via a corresponding dis- tance dependence of magnetostatic interactions. It is pro- posed that the recombination of magnetic interaction and the shielding effect results in a distance dependency of GMI response. When the distance is 8 ram, the magneti- zation process is close to synchronous between two wires, which give rises to higher circular permeability and better GMI response. The impedance ratio AZ/Z increases from 74.5 % of single wire to 172.4 % at 10 MHz. However, when the distance is upto 12 mm, the magnetic interaction is weak and magnetization process is completely independent, and GMI response decreases, relatively. This indicates that the GMI response could be effectively improved in a two-wire connection with an optical distance, which is promising and useful for the application of high-performance GMI sensors.

文摘Recently,the two-dimensional(2D)form of Ruddlesden-Popper perovskite(RPP)has been widely studied.However,the synthesis of one-dimensional(1D)RPP is rarely reported.Here,we fabricated a photodetector based on RPP microwires(RPP-MWs)and compared it with a 2D-RPP photodetector.The results show that the RPP-MWs photodetector possesses a wider photoresponse range and higher responsivities of 233 A/W in the visible band and 30 A/W in the near-infrared(NIR)band.The analyses show that the synthesized RPP-MWs have a multi-layer,heterogeneous core-shell structure.This structure gives RPP-MWs a unique band structure,as well as abundant trap states and defect levels,which enable them to acquire better photoresponse performance.This configuration of RPP-MWs provides a new idea for the design and application of novel heterostructures.

文摘Ni50Mn25Ga20Fe5 ferromagnetic shape memory alloy microwires with diameters of^30-50μm and grain sizes of^2-5μm were prepared by melt-extraction technique.A step-wise chemical ordering annealing was carried out to improve the superelasticity strain and recovery ratio which were hampered by the internal stress,compositional inhomogeneity,and high-density defects in the as-extracted Ni50Mn25Ga20Fe5 microwires.The annealed microwires exhibited enhanced atomic ordering degree,narrow thermal hysteresis,and high saturation magnetization under a low magnetic field.As a result,the annealed microwire showed decreased superelastic critical stress,improved reversibility,and a high superelastic strain(1.9%)with a large recovery ratio(>96%).This kind of filamentous material with superior superelastic effects may be promising materials for minor-devices.
