ABSTRACTThe semiconductor ZnGeN2 was grown by a vapor-liquid-solid mechanism. Ordering of the Zn-Ge sublattice with growth temperature and Zn partial pressure was investigated by powder x-ray diffraction and was found to be sensitive to the growth temperature and insensitive, over the range explored, to the Zn and NH3 partial pressures. The degree of disorder on the cation sublattice was observed to correlate with the suppression of predicted Raman peaks and the emergence of phonon density-of-states features.

Since it is not always feasible to synthesize single crystals of novel materials, the orientation of layered polycrystals has become an attractive basis for studying the angular dependence of inelastic scattering of X-rays or neutrons. Utilizing Rietveld analysis, the anisotropic properties of layered structures in novel manganites and cuprates have been studied with oriented powders instead of single crystals. The phonon density of states (DOS) and atomic thermal displacement are anisotropic in theA-site-ordered manganites LnBaMn2Oyfor the seriesy= 5 andy= 6 (Ln = Y, La, Sm and Gd). This article establishes the angular dependence of the DOS on texture of arbitrary strength, links the textures observed by X-ray and γ-ray techniques, and solves the problem of disentanglement of the Goldanskii–Karyagin effect and texture in Mössbauer spectra.

Hexagonal MgAl2O4 spinel fibers were synthesized at 1500oC for 6h in nitrogen atmosphere. The structure and morphology of the fibers were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The fibers grew via vapor- liquid- solid mechanism. The twin mechanism was suggested to play a key role in the formation process of the hexagonal fibers.

In this work, the growth by Vapour-Liquid-Solid (VLS) mechanism of 3C-SiC on silicon substrate is reported. Firstly, a germanium layer is deposited on the substrate. Then the temperature of the sample is increased above Ge melting point in order to form a SiGe liquid phase by reaction with the substrate. Upon reaching the target temperature (1100-1300°C) the VLS growth starts with the injection of propane in the reactor. Both Raman spectrometry and X-Ray diffraction analyses evidenced the formation of 3C-SiC on every sample. However, this SiC deposit, a few micrometers thick, is always found to be polycrystalline though textured. In parallel, the presence of an epitaxial Si-Ge alloy, whose composition depends on the growth temperature, was systematically detected between Si and SiC.

A vapor–liquid–solid method has been used to grow Ge nanowires on Au -coated Si (100) substrates with diameters ranging from 30–80 nm. The nanowires have been found to form Y- and T-junctions along with the growth of straight nanowires of length up to 10 μm. X-ray diffraction and Raman analyses support the formation of a core-sheath Ge – GeO 2 structure in consistent with the observation made by transmission electron microscopy.

A new synchrotron radiation experimental capability of coupling nuclear resonant inelastic X-ray scattering with the cryogenically cooled high-pressure diamond anvil cell technique is presented. The new technique permits measurements of phonon density of states at low temperature and high pressure simultaneously, and can be applied to studies of phonon contribution to pressure- and temperature-induced magnetic, superconducting and metal–insulator transitions in resonant isotope-bearing materials. In this report, a pnictide sample, EuFe2As2, is used as an example to demonstrate this new capability at beamline 3-ID of the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory. A detailed description of the technical development is given. The Fe-specific phonon density of states and magnetism from the Fe sublattice in Eu57Fe2As2at high pressure and low temperature were derived by using this new capability.
