Formation Mechanisms of InGaAs Nanowires Produced by a Solid-Source Two-Step Chemical Vapor Deposition
摘要: The morphologies and microstructures of Au-catalyzed InGaAs nanowires (NWs) prepared by a two-step solid-source chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method were systematically investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The detailed structural characterization and statistical analysis reveal that two specific morphologies are dominant in InGaAs NWs, a zigzag surface morphology and a smooth surface morphology. The zigzag morphology results from the periodic existence of twining structures, and the smooth morphology results from a lack of twining structures. HRTEM images and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) indicate that the catalyst heads have two structures, Au4In and AuIn2, which produce InGaAs NWs in a cubic phase crystalline form. The growth mechanism of the InGaAs NWs begins with Au nanoparticles melting into small spheres. In atoms are diffused into the Au spheres to form an Au-In alloy. When the concentration of In inside the alloy reaches its saturation point, the In precipitate reacts with Ga and As atoms to form InGaAs at the interface between the catalyst and substrate. Once the InGaAs compound forms, additional precipitation and reactions only occur at the interface of the InGaAs and the catalyst. These results provide a fundamental understanding of the InGaAs NW growth process which is critical to the formation of high-quality InGaAs NWs for various device applications.

摘要: In our hands-on demonstration, we show several objects, the functionality of which is defined by the objects’ internal micro-structure. Such metamaterial machines can (1) be mechanisms based on their microstructures, (2) employ simple mechanical computation, or (3) change their outside to interact with their environment. They are 3D printed from one piece and we sup-port their creating by providing interactive software tools.

Cs-doped α-Bi2O3 microplates: hydrothermal synthesis and improved photochemical activities
摘要: Cs-doped α-Bi2O3 was synthesized via a facile hydrothermal reaction. The phase formations of the samples were investigated via X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) patterns and structural refinements. The samples present well-crystalized microplates with smooth surfaces and a thickness about 300 nm. The experiments revealed that the undoped and Cs-doped α-Bi2O3 microplates could crystallized in a pure monoclinic phase. The band gap of α-Bi2O3 could be reduced via the Cs-doping in the lattices. The photocatalytic activity on photo-degradation of methylene blue (MB) was significantly improved with the Cs-doping. The effective photocatalysis was discussed on the improved visible-light response, the enhanced dispersion in the valence band composed of hybrid orbitals of Bi6s, O2p and Cs3d, and the lowered electron–hole recombination.
