研究目的
Investigating the optical properties and lasing capabilities of Sn-doped CdS nanowires at low temperatures.
研究成果
The research demonstrates that Sn-doped CdS nanowires exhibit significant enhancement of ingap emission at low temperatures, attributed to local plasma and enhanced microcavity effects. This enables lasing at continuous laser excitation at 80K, suggesting potential applications in low-threshold temperature tunable microscale lasers and studies of plasma-polariton processes.
研究不足
The study is limited by the thermal effects from continuous laser excitation and the non-uniform size of the nanowires, which may affect the consistency of the optical properties observed.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the synthesis of Sn-doped CdS nanowires using a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method with Sn as a catalyst. The optical properties were characterized using photoluminescence (PL) and Raman spectroscopy at various temperatures.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The samples were synthesized from a mixture of CdS and SnO2 powders, deposited onto mica substrates.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a tube furnace, SEM (Zeiss SUPRA 55), XPS (JEOL JPS-9010MC), and a confocal micro-PL system (Princeton Instruments Acton SP2500, Olympus BX51M). Materials included CdS (99.999%, Alfa Aesar) and SnO2 (99.5%, Alfa Aesar) powders.
4:999%, Alfa Aesar) and SnO2 (5%, Alfa Aesar) powders.
Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: The synthesis involved heating the precursors to 1000℃ in a quartz tube with a gas flow of 10% hydrogen and 90% argon. The optical characterization was performed using CW lasers (405 nm and 532 nm) for PL and Raman spectroscopy.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The data were analyzed using multi-peak Gauss fitting for Raman spectra and temperature-dependent analysis for PL spectra.
