研究目的
To demonstrate a unique three-phase nanostructure combining a ferroelectric BaTiO3, a wide-bandgap semiconductor of ZnO, and a plasmonic metal of Au toward multifunctionalities, and to explore the power of structural ordering in functionality tuning towards future three-phase hybrid metamaterials.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrates the growth of ordered three-phase nanocomposites with unique functionalities, such as hyperbolic dispersion in the visible and near-infrared regime. The ordered growth provides obvious advantages over the random growth, as demonstrated by the high degree of anisotropic optical properties. This approach opens up new possibilities in the design, growth, and application of multiphase structures with unprecedented control over electron–light–matter interactions at the nanoscale.
研究不足
The study focuses on the fabrication and characterization of ordered three-phase nanocomposites, with limited discussion on the scalability of the fabrication process and the integration of these materials into practical devices.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs a novel two-step templated growth method combining vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) and two-phase epitaxy growth mechanisms for the fabrication of ordered three-phase nanocomposites.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Single-crystal STO (001) substrates were used for the deposition of thin films.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) system with a KrF excimer laser, Lambda Physik Compex Pro 205, λ = 248 nm, was used for film deposition.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The substrate temperature was kept at 700 °C and an intermediate oxygen pressure of 40 mTorr was maintained during the deposition. Laser frequency of 2 Hz was used and all the films were cooled at 10 °C min?1 under 200 Torr O2 following the deposition.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The crystallinity and microstructure of the films were investigated by XRD, TEM, and high resolution STEM. Transmission measurements were obtained using UV–vis–NIR absorption spectrophotometer at normal incidence.
