CVD growth, thermodynamical study and electrical characterization of CuBTe2 (B=A1, Ga, In) single crystals

ABSTRACTZinc oxide (ZnO) single crystals are grown by the traditional chemical vapor reaction method and ZnO crystal pairs with a single boundary are successfully obtained. The obtained specimens with one ZnO–ZnO boundary (ZnO homojunction) show nonlinear current-voltage (I–V) characteristics without the addition of Bi2O3, CoO, MnO2, and/or rare earth metal oxides. A specimen with higher breakdown voltage shows superior nonlinearity with negative resistivity in its I–V characteristics. Electrical characterization of the ZnO homojunction is conducted and extremely slow response with the current (or voltage) stress is confirmed. The phenomenon had never been observed in commercial ZnO varistors. The surface temperature of the ZnO homojunction is enhanced by larger applied current. The effect of the Joule heat on the nonlinearity in the I–V curves of the ZnO homojunction is discussed.

High Temperature Processing

Novel nanocomposite made of one-dimensional (1-D) multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) and two-dimensional (2-D) graphene was prepared. MWCNT was spin coated onto copper foil and followed by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth of graphene. The MWCNT-Graphene nanocomposite was transferred onto target substrate by using a standard polymer-based transfer technique. HRTEM and Raman spectroscopy showed high crystallinity of fused MWCNT and graphene layer. Low defect-related D-peak was also observed even after the nanocomposite underwent high temperature processing. As compared to pristine graphene, electrical characterization of MWCNT-Graphene nanocomposite also revealed the reduction of sheet resistance by ~71% and almost 2-fold improvement in room-temperature carrier mobility. These improvements are surmised due to additional conducting channels formed by MWCNT in the graphene layer. Hence, higher electrical conductivity can be expected. With the introduction of MWCNT across the graphene layer, highly desirable electrical properties can be achieved and as such leveraging the viability of graphene-based nanoelectronics devices.
