2D metal oxide fractal structures with different appearance and composition are successfully grown on the silicon (100) substrates from their colloidal solutions at room temperature. These films display very high surface coverage on the substrates and abundant structures. The results demonstrate the appearances and dimensions of these structures are dependent on the properties and composition of their constituent particles and the substrates. This work may have potential applications in the fabrication of gas sensors, photon-receivers and catalyst carriers which are not easy made by other methods at RT.

Abstract In this study, porous silicon (PSi) was used to manufacture gas sensors for acetone and ethanol. Samples of PSi were successfully prepared by photoelectrochemical etching and applied as an acetone and ethanol gas sensor at room temperature at various current densities J= 12, 24 and 30 mA/cm2 with an etching time of 10 min and hydrofluoric acid concentration of 40%. Well-ordered n-type PSi (100) was carefully studied for its chemical composition, surface structure and bond configuration of the surface via X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and photoluminescence tests. Results showed that the best sensitivity of PSi was to acetone gas than to ethanol under the same conditions at an etching current density of 30 mA/cm2, reaching about 2.413 at a concentration of 500 parts per million. The PSi layers served as low-cost and high-quality acetone gas sensors. Thus, PSi can be used to replace expensive materials used in gas sensors that function at low temperatures, including room temperature. The material has an exceptionally high surface-to-volume ratio (increasing surface area) and demonstrates ease of fabrication and compatibility with manufacturing processes of silicon microelectronics.

AbstractElectrodeposition of multimetallic films at room temperature on metallic substrates followed by oxidation at high temperature (~ 900°C) has often been employed to prepare high temperature superconducting (HTSC) films. A difficulty with this otherwise cheap and simple process is that the degree of surface covering is usually not very high. We have attempted to remediate this problem by sequentially repeating the deposition process on the same film. In this way, we have improved quite markedly critical current density (Jc) of films obtained on Silver substrates.To quote some figures, Jc at 1 T is ~ 400 A/cm2 after the first deposition/oxidation process and it increases to ~ 2 000 A/cm2 after the fourth one. The evolution of the morphology of the films has been followed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It shows that, although the degree of surface coverage never attains 100 %, a substantial proportion of the substrate is well coated.We have also studied the influence of mechanical pressure on the metallic film before the thermal treatment; after the fourth deposition, a pressure of ~15 KBar was applied. In this case a ~ 7% increase in Jc was observed and the density after compression (6.98 g/cm3) attains almost 100 % of the theoretical value for YBa2Cu3O7-δ (Ybacuo).
