研究目的
Investigating the growth, structural, optical, and field emission properties of MBE-grown β-MoO3 nanoribbons with varying thicknesses and substrates.
研究成果
The research demonstrates that MBE-grown β-MoO3 nanoribbons exhibit thickness-dependent properties, including increased aspect ratio, decreased optical band gap, increased local work function, and improved field emission performance (lower turn-on field and higher field enhancement factor) compared to α-MoO3. These findings suggest potential applications in optoelectronic devices, with recommendations for further studies on stability and scalability.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific substrates and thickness ranges; the metastable nature of β-MoO3 may pose challenges for reproducibility; equipment-specific parameters (e.g., vacuum conditions) could affect results; and quantum size effects are inferred rather than directly measured.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved growing β-MoO3 nanoribbons using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) under ultra-high vacuum conditions. Various substrates (Si(100), Si(5512), FTO) and thicknesses (5-30 nm) were used to investigate morphology, optical band gap, local work function, and field emission properties. Techniques included SEM, TEM, GIXRD, UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy, KPFM, and field emission measurements.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Substrates were Si(100) with and without native oxide, Si(5512), and FTO. MoO3 powder (99.995% pure) was used as the source material. Samples were prepared by depositing MoO3 at 350°C substrate temperature with a deposition rate of approximately 1 ?/min.

4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: Substrates were cleaned or prepared with native oxide. MoO3 was deposited via MBE. Morphology was analyzed using SEM and TEM. Structural properties were assessed with GIXRD. Optical properties were measured with UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy. Local work function was determined using KPFM. Field emission properties were evaluated in a diode configuration with varying anode-sample separations.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using log-normal distribution fitting for size measurements, Tauc plot for band gap calculation, FN equation for field emission analysis, and KPFM equations for work function determination.
