ZnS-based photonic crystal phosphors fabricated using atomic layer deposition

چکیده
The infiltration by atomic layer deposition of three-dimensional opal structures has been investigated as a means of fabricating photonic crystal phosphors. ZnS:Mn infiltrated and inverse opals have been demonstrated with filling fractions >95%. Characterization of these structures by scanning electron microscopy, specular reflectance, and photoluminescence is reported. Specular reflectance measurements confirm successful infiltration, and demonstrate modification of the electromagnetic density of states consistent with calculated photonic (111) pseudo band gaps. Photoluminescence measurements reveal modification of emission by the photonic crystal consistent with angular dependent specular reflectance measurements. These results reveal a flexible and convenient route for fabricating high performance photonic crystal structures and optical microcavities.

متن کاملBreakthrough to Non-Vacuum Deposition of Single-Crystal, Ultra-Thin, Homogeneous Nanoparticle Layers: A Better Alternative to Chemical Bath Deposition and Atomic Layer Deposition
Most thin-film techniques require a multiple vacuum process, and cannot produce high-coverage continuous thin films with the thickness of a few nanometers on rough surfaces. We present a new "paradigm shift" non-vacuum process to deposit high-quality, ultra-thin, single-crystal layers of coalesced sulfide nanoparticles (NPs) with controllable thickness down to a few nanometers, based on thermal...
