1. Controlled nucleation and growth of CdS nanoparticles in a polymer matrix

Author

Di Luccio, T., Laera, A. M., Tapfer, L., Kempter, S., Kraus, R., and Nickel, B.

Subjects
Condensed Matter - Materials Science
Abstract

The nucleation and growth of CdS nanoparticles within a polymer matrix was followed by in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction. The nanoparticles form by effect of the thermolysis of thiolate precursors at temperatures between 200 and 300 Celsius degrees. Above 240 Celsius degrees the precursor decomposition is complete and CdS nanoparticles grow in the polymer matrix forming a nanocomposite with interesting optical properties. The nanoparticle structural properties (size and crystal structure) depend on the annealing temperature.(abridged version), Comment: 25 pages, 7 figures, 1 table

2. Microstructural and morphological properties of homoepitaxial (001)ZnTe layers investigated by x-ray diffuse scattering

Abstract

The microstructural and morphological properties of homoepitaxial (001)ZnTe layers are investigated by x-ray diffuse scattering. High resolution reciprocal space maps recorded close to the ZnTe (004) Bragg peak show different diffuse scattering features. One kind of cross-shaped diffuse scattering streaks along <111> directions can be attributed to stacking faults within the epilayers. Another kind of cross-shaped streaks inclined at an angle of about 80deg with respect to the <110> in-plane direction arises from the morphology of the epilayers. (abridged version)

3. Structural and morphological investigation of Langmuir-Blodgett SWCNT/behenic acid multilayers

Abstract

The goal of our work has been the incorporation of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in Langmuir-Blodgett organic multilayers. We deposited multilayers consisting of six cadmium behenate (CdBe) layers alternated with one layer of SWCNTs. SWCNTs and CdBe molecules were spread at the air/water interface and deposited at a fixed compression pressure for CdBe (27mN/m) and two different compression pressures for the nanotubes, 15 and 45mN/m, respectively. Low angle X-ray measurements exhibited distinct satellite peaks in all the samples demonstrating that the periodicity of the LB CdBe reference sample was conserved when SWCNTs were inserted in the structure. In agreement with the observations at optical and electronic microscopes, the samples deposited at the higher compression pressure (45mN/m) presented more densely-packed and more uniform coverage of nanotubes., Comment: 13 pages including 4 figures and 1 table.

26. X-ray diffraction study of intentionally disordered (GaIn)As/Ga(PAs) heterostructures

Abstract

The effects of layer thickness variations and deviation from perfect periodicity on high resolution x-ray diffraction (XRD) profiles were studied for (GaIn)As/Ga(PAs) symmetrically strained multiple quantum well heterostructures. Thickness modulation of the compressively restricted (GaIn)As layers resulted into peak splitting mainly on the tensile trained portion of the XRD pattern while modulating the tensile strained Ga(PAs) layer causes splitting on the compressively strained side.

Abstract

A study was conducted on BaCuO2/CaCuO2 superlattices grown on (001) SrTiO3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition method. The results indicate that the BaCuO2/CaCuO2 superlattices are grown pseudomorphically on the SrTiO3 substrate. Moreover, the Ca is partially oxidized while Ba is completely oxidized. The findings show that the pulsed laser deposition method permits the fabrication of high quality infinite-layer superlattices of high structural and chemical ordering.

Abstract

ZeCl excimer laser ablation of amorphous magnetic ribbons have been used to create amorphous magnetic Fe-Co-Ni-Si-B films on silicon and glass substrates using variable laser fluence, pulse numbers and target to substrate distance. Ellipsometry, x-ray specular reflectivity, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, profilometry and x-ray diffraction show that laser ablation results in good composition and structure transfer from ribbon targets to deposited films.

40. Structural analysis of ZnS/GaAs heterostructures grown by hydrogen transport vapor-phase epitaxy

Author

Abstract

The structural characterization of the ZnS epilayers reveals that the ZnS lattice exhibits an orthorhombic distortion. The ZnS epilayers are grown by hydrogen transport vapor-phase epitaxy on GaAs structures. The residual strain temperature and residual strain tensor is dependent on the epilayer when the temperature is between 25 and 650 degrees Celsius. The crystallographic symmetry exhibited by ZnS is attributed to the asymmetric distribution of the misfit dislocation.

Abstract

The characteristics of GaAs and AlxGa1-xAs thin films grown by molecular beam epitaxy were investigated using high-resolution double-crystal x-ray diffraction, Hall effect measurements and secondary-ion-mass spectroscopy. The results showed that carbon was preferentially incorporated as an acceptor on As lattice sites in both types of thin film samples. In addition, the total amount of carbon incorporated on the As sites was quite large.

The structural and optical characteristics of quaternary In0.52Ga0.18Al0.30As layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy were investigated using high resolution x-ray diffraction, absorption, photoluminescence and photoreflectance spectroscopy. The results showed that several transitions related to impurities and a free exciton feature were present, indicating that the exciton binding energy was smaller than predicted.

Abstract

The optical and structural characteristics of ternary alloy AlxGa1-xAs/AlAs multiple-quantum-well structures were investigated. The results showed that the direct energy gap was proportional to the AlAs mole fraction and the band offset ratio was determined by the composition of the alloy. In addition, exciton absorption bleaching occurred in the material.

Abstract

The structural and transport characteristicsof non-lattice matched GaInAs/AlInAs modulation-doped heterostructures grown onInP by molecular-beam epitaxy were analyzed. The results show that the utilization of thin spacer layers produces extremely high conductivities. In addition, the structures were observed to be psuedomorphic and in excess of calculated critical thickness.
