SEM and Raman studies of annealed nanocrystalline GaN and amorphous GaN:O
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report annealing studies of thin films of GaN and GaN:O prepared by ion assisted deposition. As-prepared films of stoichiometric tetrahedrally bonded GaN form nanocrystalline networks, but amorphous networks result with the inclusion of more than 10 at.% of oxygen. The annealed nc-GaN films show an increased average crystallite size, though even after a 700 C anneal the crystals are no larger than about 10 nm. Annealed a-GaN:O films remain amorphous even after a 700 C anneal, after which they display a weak photoluminescence. 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Effect of Heat Treatment Time on the Characteristics of Coating Formed on Nanocrystalline Finemet Foils
In the present research, amorphous Fe73.5Si13.5B9Nb3Cu1 Finemet foils, 21-26µm in thickness and 5mm in width, were prepared by Planar Flow Casting (PFC) process. Wound cores of amorphous Finemet foils were simultaneously annealed and heat treated at 540°C for 60, 120 and 240 minutes in steam and air flow to form oxide insulating coating layer on both surfaces of the foils. The structure of nano...
متن کاملSynthesis of Serrated GaN Nanowires for Hydrogen Gas Sensors Applications by Plasma-Assisted Vapor Phase Deposition Method
Nowadays, the semiconductor nanowires (NWs) typically used in hydrogen gas sensors. Gallium nitride (GaN) with a wide band gap of 3.4 eV, is one of the best semiconductors for this function. NWs surface roughness have important role in gas sensors performance. In this research, GaN NWs have been synthesized on Si substrate by plasma-assisted vapor phase deposition at different deposition time, ...

Gallium nitride (GaN) nanostructures (NS) were synthesized using pulseddirect current plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PDC-PECVD) on quartzsubstrate at low temperature (600°C). Gallium metal (Ga) and nitrogen (N) plasma wereused as precursors. The morphology and structure of the grown GaN NS werecharacterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), transmissionelectro...
متن کاملComposition dependence of field induced anisotropy in ferromagnetic „Co,Fe...89Zr7B4 and „Co,Fe...88Zr7B4Cu1 amorphous and nanocrystalline ribbons
The composition dependence of field induced anisotropy KU of field annealed soft ferromagnetic Co1−xFex 89Zr7B4 and Co1−xFex 88Zr7B4Cu1 amorphous and amorphous/nanocrystalline “nanocomposite” melt spun ribbons is investigated. With the exception of the highest Co-containing alloys x 0.10 , the observations are discussed in terms of a superposition of directional pair ordering of Fe,Co atoms and...
