AbstractThe deposition of polyhedral aluminum nanocrystals onto the surface of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) via metalorganic chemical vapor deposition with the use of triisobutylaluminum as the precursor has been performed for the first time. The new hybrid nanomaterial (Al/MWCNTs) has been characterized by X-ray phase analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The obtained Al/MWCNTs hybrid materials were tested as the filler for the creation of threedimensional composites on the basis of an AMg2 alloy via powder metallurgy. It has been shown that the use of Al/MWCNTs as the filler increases the hardness of the composites by 18% in comparison with the initial MWCNTs.

ABSTRACTMicrostructures of GaN films grown on the LiGaO2 by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) have been characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). TEM and HRTEM results show that high quality single-crystal wurtzite GaN films have been deposited on the LiGaO2 and that the GaN film and the LiGaO2 have the following orientation relationship: (2110)(0002)GaN ̂ (002)LiGaO2 ^ 5–8°. A higher density of threading dislocations and stacking faults have been observed near the GáN/LiGaO2 interface, even though the lattice mismatch of GaN to LiGaO2 is only ∼1%. Threading dislocations with burgers vector b=<0001> and b=a/3<1120> are predominant in the GaN films. Also the GaN films contain some columnar inversion domain boundaries (IDBs). Both TEM and HRTEM results reveal that there is an unexpected amorphous or nano-crystalline inter-layer between the GaN and the LiGaO2 with a thickness of 50–100 nm.

We have studied the chemical composition of alumina ( Al 2 O 3) films grown on Si(100) at different substrate temperatures by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) using aluminium acetylactonate { Al(acac) 3} as the precursor. We have found that the resulting films of Al 2 O 3 contain substantial amounts of carbon. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was employed to study the chemical state of carbon present in such films. The XPS spectrum reveals that the carbon present in Al 2 O 3 film is graphitic in nature. Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) was employed to study the distribution of carbon in the Al 2 O 3 films. The AES depth profile reveals that carbon is present throughout the film. The AES study on Al 2 O 3 films corroborates the XPS findings. An investigation of the Al 2 O 3/ Si (100) interface was carried out using cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM). The TEM study reveals textured growth of alumina film on Si(100), with very fine grains of alumina embedded in an amorphous carbon-containing matrix.

AbstractCrystalline C-N films composed of α- and β-C3N4, as well as other C-N phases, have been synthesized via bias-assisted hot-filament chemical vapor deposition using a gas mixture of nitrogen and methane. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize the films. Lattice constants of the α- and β-C3N4 phases obtained coincide very well with the theoretical values. In addition to these phases, two new C-N phases in the films have been identified by TEM and XRD; one having a tetragonal structure with a = 5.65 Å, c = 2.75Å, and the second having a monoclinic structure with a = 5.065 Å, b= 11.5 Å, c = 2.801 Å and β = 96°. Their stoichiometric values and atomic arrangements have not yet been identified. Furthermore, variation in growth parameters, for example methane concentration, bias voltage, etc., can yield preferred growth of different C-N phases.

Gallium oxide nanowires were synthesized on Si (001) substrate by chemical vapor deposition, using a Ga/Ga2O3 mixture as a precursor and Au as a catalyst. The structure of the as-synthesized products was examined by X-ray powder diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and found to be monoclinic β-Ga2O3. The morphologies of the β-Ga2O3 nanowires were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The majority of the nanowires contain holes along their length, but a few were also found without holes. The holes are believed to be formed by the reaction of adsorbed Ga droplets on reactive terminating surfaces of the nanowires. For nanowires where these reactive surfaces are not exposed, the reaction of Ga is retarded. Cathodoluminescence (CL) of the nanowires was measured. Three emission bands centered at 376, 454, and 666 nm, respectively, were observed.

The compound growth of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT), which formed a nanotube cable, was achieved by the chemical vapor deposition of natural gas on an Fe catalyst supported on SiO2–Al2O3 hybrid materials at 950 °C. The microstructure of nanotubes was characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The SWCNTs encapsulated inside MWCNTs can be two, three, or even more in quantity with a diameter range from 1.0 nm to 2.0 nm. The diameter of SWCNT is controlled by the size of the catalyst nanoparticles. Some bundles of SWCNT and double-walled nanotubes were also found. The possible mechanism of compound growth is briefly discussed.

In this paper, we have synt hesized exotic carbon fibers with branched spurs by a chemical vapor deposition method using nickel catalyst precursor at 600 °C. No catalyst particles were found at the base of the carbon spurs, suggesting that the ni ckel catalyst particles, which were decomposed from the nickel catalyst precursor, facilitated the growth of the carbon fibers but not the spurs. The formation of the spurs resulted from the fluctuation of the carbon source gas acetylene flow. The samples were characterized by field emission sc anning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray powder diffraction.

We have synthesized the high-density Ga2O3 nanowires on gold (Au)-coated silicon substrates using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The nanowires exhibited one-dimensional structures having circular cross sections with diameters in the range of 30-200 nm. The energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy revealed that the nanowires contained elements of Ga and O, without Au-related impurities. X-ray diffraction analysis and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy showed that the Ga2O3 nanowires were crystalline.

AbstractInGaN films in the 0–50% InN composition range have been analyzed for the occurrence of phase separation. The ñ0.5 jum thick InGaN films were grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) in the 690 to 780°C temperature range and analyzed by θ−20 x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and selected area diffraction (SAD). As-grown films with up to 21% InN were single phase. However, for films with 28% InN and higher, the samples showed a spinodally decomposed microstructure as confirmed by TEM and extra spots in SAD patterns that corresponded to multiphase InGaN. An explanation of the data based on the GaN-InN pseudo-binary phase diagram is discussed.

AbstractSiGe nanowires were grown by the vapor-liquid-solid method using a low pressure chemical vapor deposition reactor and different flows of the GeH4 and Si2H6 gas precursors. The morphology of the nanowires was studied by field emission scanning electron microscopy, and the length, diameter and density of nanowires were determined. Their structure and crystallinity were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy and its related techniques. Energy dispersive X-ray emission of individual nanowires as well a Raman spectroscopy were used to determine their composition and to analyze its homogeneity.

Dielectric breakdown of gas mixtures can be used to deposit thin films by chemical vapor deposition with appropriate control of flow and pressure conditions to suppress gas-phase nucleation and particle formation. Using a pulsed CO2 laser operating at 10.6 μ where there is no significant resonant absorption in any of the source gases, homogeneous films from several gas-phase precursors have been sucessfully deposited by gas-phase laser pyrolysis. Nickel and molybdenum from the respective carbonyls representing decomposition chemistry and tungsten from the hexafluoride representing reduction chemistry have been demonstrated. In each case the gas precursor is buffered with argon to reduce the partial pressure of the reactants and to induce breakdown. Films have been characterized by Auger electron spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, pull tests, and resistivity measurements. The highest quality films have resulted from the nickel depositions. Detailed x-ray diffraction analysis of these films yields a very small domain size consistent with the low temperature of the substrate and the formation of metastable nickel carbide. Transmission electron microscopy supports this analysis.
