Nucleated Growth of Iron Pyrite on Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG) by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD)
Iron pyrite, one of the phases in the FeS2 system, is a promising semiconductor for use in solar cell applications due to its earth-abundance, high absorption coefficient, and suitable bandgap. However, currently the efficiency of iron pyrite solar cell device does not exceed 3% [1]. Many studies attempted to understand the cause of the low open-circuit voltage in pyrite devices. Some studies s...
متن کاملFemtosecond Laser Synthesis of Polymorphic Diamond from Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite
We synthesized polymorphic diamond directly from highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) using femtosecond laser driven shock wave without catalyst. A femtosecond laser pulse (wavelength: 800 nm, pulse width: 120 fs, intensity: 2×10 W/cm) was irradiated onto the HOPG surface in air. Crystalline structures of HOPG after the laser irradiation were analyzed using the synchrotron X-ray at the BL1...
متن کاملPathway for the transformation from highly oriented pyrolytic graphite into amorphous diamond.
We report the discovery of a novel pathway for the transformation from highly oriented pyrolytic graphite foils into amorphous diamond platelets. This pathway consists of three stages of neutron irradiation, shock compression, and rapid quenching. We obtained transparent platelets which show photoluminescence but no diamond Raman peak, similar to the case of amorphous diamond synthesized from C...
متن کاملNonlinear Optical Absorption of Carbon Nanostructures Synthesized by Laser Ablation of Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite in Organic Solvents
In this study, Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite was ablated in various polar and nonpolar solvents by Q-switched neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser (wavelength=1064 nm, frequency=2 kHz, pulse duration=240 ns). Then, the products were examined using Scanning Electron Microscopy and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The images showed that different carbon structures such as cauliflower-like structures...
متن کاملElectron spectra line shape analysis of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite and nanocrystalline diamond.
The X-ray excited Auger electron spectroscopy (XAES), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and elastic peak electron spectroscopy (EPES) methods were applied in investigating samples of nanocrystalline diamond and highly oriented pyrolytic graphite of various C sp(2)/sp(3) ratios, crystallinity conditions and grain sizes. The composition at the surface was estimated from the XPS. The C sp(2)/...
