Nonpolar a-plane ZnO film with [1 1 - 2 0] orientation was grown on a nearly lattice-matched [1 0 0] (La-0.3,Sr-0.7)(Al-0.65,Ta-0.35)O-3 (LSAT) substrate from a simple chemical vapor deposition method. LSAT single crystal was grown by the Czochralski method. The dependence of growth characteristics on the growth temperatures and reactor's pressures was investigated. The surface morphologies of ZnO films were studied by a scanning electron microscope. The sample orientations were identified by X-ray diffraction pattern and transmission electron microscope. Optical properties examined by room temperature photoluminescence spectra exhibit a strong near-band-edge emission peak at 378.6 nm and a negligible green band. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

Rational design of hetero-dimensional C-ZnO/MoS2 nanocomposite anchored on 3D mesoporous carbon framework towards synergistically enhanced stability and efficient visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity

Sk Emdadul Islam, Da-Ren Hang, Chun-Hu Chen, Mitch M. C. Chou, Chi-Te Liang, Krishna Hari Sharma

Summary: A new ternary C-ZnO/MoS2/mesoporous carbon nanocomposite with enhanced visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance and high photo-corrosion resistance has been successfully prepared in this study. The significant enhancement in photodegradation activity of the hybrid catalysts can be attributed to increased surface area and active reaction sites, boosted surface charge utilization efficiency, and band-gap lowering.

The Highly Uniform Photoresponsivity from Visible to Near IR Light in Sb2Te3 Flakes

Shiu-Ming Huang, Jai-Lung Hung, Mitch Chou, Chi-Yang Chen, Fang-Chen Liu, Ruei-San Chen

Summary: Broadband photosensors have been widely studied in various materials, with recent research focusing on finding a wavelength-insensitive photosensor. Photocurrent measurements in Sb2Te3 flakes show insensitivity to a wide range of wavelengths, with the observed photocurrent primarily originating from band structure peak transitions. This indicates that bulk state band structure is the main source of the observed photocurrent, challenging the common explanation that the carrier mainly comes from surface states in low-dimensional materials.

Two-dimensional molybdenum trioxide nanoflakes wrapped with interlayer-expanded molybdenum disulfide nanosheets: Superior performances in supercapacitive energy storage and visible-light-driven photocatalysis

Krishna Hari Sharma, Da-Ren Hang, Satish Bolloju, Jyh-Tsung Lee, Hui-Fen Wu, Sk Emdadul Islam, Mitch M. C. Chou, Chi-Te Liang, Rupesh Rohan Srivastava

Summary: A novel hierarchical MoS2/MoO3 nanocomposite with enhanced electrochemical and photocatalytic performance was reported. The growth of MoS2 onto α-MoO3 surface created a unique 2D/2D hierarchical structure, improving the electrical conductivity of the composite electrode and capacitance retention in a symmetric supercapacitor assembly. The remarkably enhanced visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance can be attributed to activated inert basal plane, facilitated interfacial charge transfer, and peculiar ultrathin nanosheet framework.

Tuning the Ni/Co Ratios and Surface Concentration of Reduced Molybdenum States for Enhanced Electrocatalytic Performance in Trimetallic Molybdates: OER, HER, and MOR Activity

Dileep Maarisetty, Da-Ren Hang, Mitch M. C. Chou, Smrutiranjan Parida

Summary: In this study, a genre of trimetallic catalysts with Ni, Co, and Mo metals were synthesized, and it was found that the morphology, structure, and catalytic activity of the catalysts depend on the ratios of Ni/Co and Mo+4/Mo+5. The introduction of Mo as the third metal is only beneficial when the Ni/Co ratio is optimally maintained. Surface analysis and electrochemical tests revealed that Mo favors oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and metallic Ni on the surface promotes methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) activity. Furthermore, adsorbed water molecules were found to be crucial for enhancing the performance of the catalysts in both OER and MOR processes.

Study of AlN growth using AMEC Prismo HiT3 MOCVD reactor

Jianzheng Hu, Long Yan, Ning Zhou, Yao Chen, Xiaoni Yang, Lianqiao Yang, Shiping Guo

Summary: The effect and mechanism of carrier gas velocity, V/III ratio, and carrier gas velocity match on the growth rate of AlN were investigated in this study. The results showed that the growth rate of AlN initially increased with hydrogen flow rate, reached saturation, and then decreased monotonically. The turning point value depended on the equipment and process. By increasing the MO VM, the growth rate of AlN could be improved, but the uniformity deteriorated due to turbulence and loss of uniform boundary layer. High quality AlN films were successfully grown on nano-patterned sapphire substrates with improved crystalline quality and atomic smooth surfaces.

Molecular dynamics simulation of homogeneous nucleation of melting in superheated sodium crystal

Tingting Ma, Yang Li, Kangning Sun, Qinglin Cheng, Sen Li

Summary: This study investigates the melting process and nucleation behavior of sodium crystals using molecular dynamics simulation. The results show good agreement between simulated and experimental values for the melting temperature, density, and radial distribution function of sodium. The diffusion coefficient of liquid sodium increases linearly with temperature, and the homogeneous nucleation rate of melting in superheated sodium crystal exponentially increases with temperature. The findings provide theoretical support for applications involving heat and mass transfer in sodium-related systems.

Fabrication of epitaxial V2O3 thin films on Al2O3 substrates via mist chemical vapor deposition

Hisato Nishii, Shintarou Iida, Akira Yamasaki, Takumi Ikenoue, Masao Miyake, Toshiya Doi, Tetsuji Hirato

Summary: Epitaxial V2O3 films were fabricated on sapphire substrates using mist chemical vapor deposition (mist CVD) method, eliminating the need for high vacuum conditions. The films can be grown on sapphire substrates even under atmospheric pressure, with the optimal growth temperature at 823 K. The films grown at 823 K exhibit a metal-insulator transition at approximately 155 K. The film on C-plane sapphire exhibits a lower transition temperature compared to those on R- and A-plane sapphire substrates.

Summary: This article discusses the novel fractal nature of hydrothermally synthesized MoS2 QDs. By adjusting the reaction time, the study found that the average size of QDs increases and then decreases with longer reaction times. STEM images indicate that shorter reaction times lead to sheet formation, while extended reaction times cause sheets to fragment into QDs.

Summary: The effect of growth temperature on the buffer leakage currents of GaN-on-Si layers was investigated. It was found that higher growth temperature results in lower leakage currents. The defects in GaN layers grown at different temperatures were studied using photoluminescence technique, and a correlation between leakage currents, structural perfection, and donor concentration in GaN-on-Si layers was established. It was also observed that reduced growth temperature leads to the formation of inversion domains.
