Oxide Crystals

The vertical Bridgman technique was an effective technique to grow congruent oxide crystals. However, it is difficult to grow incongruent crystals due to the erosion of the fluxes on seeds which was usually put at the bottom of the crucible. Recently, we developed a flux Bridgman growth process for some difficult-grown functional crystals, such as PZNT, ZnO and SLN. The properties of as-grown crystals were characterized and the crystal quality was evaluated. The results show that the flux Bridgman method is a potential approach to grow incongruent oxide crystals for industrial applications.

Chemically Selective

The first few atomic layers of a solid can form a barrier between its interior and an often hostile environment. Although adsorption at the vacuum-solid interface has been studied in great detail, little is known about adsorption at the liquid-solid interface. Adsorption at a liquid-solid interface is of intrinsic interest, and is of technological importance because it provides a way to coat a surface with monolayer or multilayer structures. A pinhole free monolayer (with a reasonable dielectric constant) could lead to the development of nanoscale capacitors with unique characteristics and lithographic resists that surpass the resolution of their conventional counterparts. Chemically selective adsorption is of particular interest because it can be used to passivate a surface from external modification or change the wear and the lubrication properties of a surface to reflect new and useful properties. Immunochemical adsorption could be used to fabricate novel molecular electronic devices or to construct small, “smart”, unobtrusive sensors with the potential to detect a wide variety of preselected species at the molecular level. These might include a particular carcinogen in the environment, a specific type of explosive, a chemical agent, a virus, or even a tumor in the human body.
