Α-Al2O3 Films Were Prepared by Laser Chemical Vapor Deposition and the Effects of Precursor Evaporation Temperature (Tvap) and Oxygen Gas Flow Rate (FRo) on Phase and Orientation of Al2o3 Films Were Investigated. at Tvap = 413 K, (100)-Oriented α-Al2O3 and θ-Al2O3 Were Codeposited. the Amount of θ-Al2O3 Increased with Increasing FRo. at Tvap = 433–443 K, α-Al2O3 Films Showed a (001) Orientation. (100)- and (001)-Oriented α-Al2O3 Films Had a Rectangular- and Hexagonal-Shaped Grains, Respectively, and Showed a Columnar in Cross Section. Grain Size of (100)- and (001)-Oriented α-Al2O3 Films Decreased from 10 to 2 μm with Increasing FRo from 0.085 to 0.85 Pa m3 s−1. Deposition Rate Increased from 100 to 300 μm h−1 with Increasing Tvap from 413 to 443 K.

ABSTRACTMolybdenum disulfide (MoS2) thin films were fabricated by two-step chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using (t-C4H9)2S2 and the effects of temperature, gas flow rate, and atmosphere on the formation were investigated in order to achieve high-speed low-temperature MoS2 film formation. From the results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigations, it was confirmed that c-axis orientation of the pre-deposited Mo film has a significant involvement in the crystal orientation after the reaction low temperature sulfurization annealing and we successfully obtained 3 nm c-axis oriented MoS2 thin film. From the S/Mo ratios in the films, it was revealed that the sulfurization reaction proceeds faster with increase in the sulfurization temperature and the gas flow rate. Moreover, the sulfurization under the H2 atmosphere promotes decomposition reaction of (t-C4H9)2S2, which were confirmed by XPS and density functional theory (DFT) simulation.

Various methods are used in functionally gradient materials technology to control the composition and structure of a composite.The chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method yields a deposit with source gases by applying variou s forms of energy (heat, light, plasma, etc.) to the gases after they are introduced into a CVD reactor. Hydride, bromide, and chloride are generally used for source materials. By continually changing the mixture ratio of source gases or by controlling the CVD conditions such as deposition temperatures, gas pressure, and gas-flow rate, CVD permits relatively easy syntheses of various FGMs (to a maximum thickness on the order of a centimeter).

Nearly stoichiometric TiNxfilms were deposited on Al2O3substrates by laser enhanced chemical vapor deposition (CVD) with tetrakis (diethylamido) titanium (TDEAT) and ammonia as the source materials. Emphases were given on the effects of laser power (PL) and pre-heating temperature (Tpre) on the composition and deposition rate of TiNxfilms. Single phase of TiNxfilms with columnar cross section were obtained. The ratio of N to Ti in TiNxfilms increased with increasingPLand was close to stoichiometric atPL> 150 W. The deposition rate of TiNxfilms with a depositing area of 300 mm2was about 18-90 µm/h, which decreased with increasingPLandTpre.

ZnO nanotetrapod with different oxygen flow rate was prepared by thermal chemical vapor deposition. We have successfully deposited ZnO nanotetrapod on synthesis Zn powder using double furnace with argon (Ar) and oxygen (O2) gas as source material. In this study, we report the effect of different gas flow rate (5 sccm to 15 sccm) on structural and optical properties of the ZnO nanotetrapod. The morphology of ZnO nanotetrapods were analyzed by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). It exhibits the length of the nanotetrapods arm decrease with increased of flow rate and diameter of nanotetrapod in range 30 nm to 90 nm. The optical properties were determined through XRD and photoluminescence with 2θ (30o to 80o) and wavelength 350 nm to 620 nm respectively. PL spectra show that the UV emission centred at 380 nm while yellow-orange emission centred at 540 nm.

C-Axis-Oriented Y2Ba4Cu7O15-δ (Y247) Films Were Prepared on Multilayer-Coated Hasterolly Tape Substrate by Laser Chemical Vapor Deposition with Ultrasonically Nebulized Liquid Precursor. At a Low Precursor Concentration of 0.01 mol l−1 and Deposition Temperature of 933 K, Single-Phase Y247 Film with Significant c-Axis Orientation Was Obtained.

ABSTRACTWe report the effect of CO2 addition to CO4 gas on carbon nanotube (CNT) growth by chemical vapor deposition. CO2 gas was introduced during the growth of CNTs on Fe0.05Mo0.025MgO0.925 and Ni0.05Mo0.025MgO0.925 catalysts by CO4 gas at a temperature of 800–850°C, and its concentration in a fraction of the gas flow rate was varied from 5×10−3 to 50%. In the experimental condition of the preferential growth of multi-walled CNTs, the carbon yield and the G/D ratio in the Raman spectra of the CNTs grown in 10%-CO2/CO4 were slightly higher than that grown in CO4 only. However, CNTs hardly grew when the CO2 concentration was more than 10%. We then prepared CO2 gas diluted with Ar gas (CO2/Ar) and varied its flow rate between 0 and 10 sccm. As the CO2/Ar gas flow rate was increased, the number of RBM peaks decreased even though the G/D ratio gradually decreased. The decrease in the RBM intensities of CNTs on the FeMoMgO catalyst was more significant than that of NiMoMgO.
