چکیده

We report on the growth of high-aspect-ratio (approximately > 300) zinc sulfide nanotubes with variable, precisely tunable, wall thicknesses and tube diameters into highly ordered pores of anodic alumina templates by atomic layer deposition (ALD) at temperatures as low as 75 degrees C. Various characterization techniques are employed to gain information on the composition, morphology and crystal structure of the synthesized samples. Besides practical applications, the ALD-grown tubes could be envisaged as model systems for the study of a certain class of size-dependent quantum and classical phenomena.

High-filling-fraction inverted ZnS opals fabricated by atomic layer deposition

The infiltration of three-dimensional opal structures has been investigated by atomic layer deposition. Demonstrations using ZnS:Mn show that filling fractions .95% can be achieved and that the infiltrated material is of high-quality crystalline material as assessed by photoluminescence measurements. These results demonstrate a flexible and practical pathway to attaining high-performance photon...

Fabrication and Characteristics of Self-Aligned ZnO Nanotube and Nanorod Arrays on Si Substrates by Atomic Layer Deposition

Vertically self-aligned ZnO nanorods and nanotubes are fabricated on Si substrates by atomic layer deposition with the assistance of anodic aluminum oxide at 250°C. These nanostructures are equal in height, isolated, and vertical to the Si substrate. With 550 deposition cycles, we can fabricate regular arrays of ZnO nanorods with an average diameter of 70 nm and with a height of 470 nm. In part...

Atomic Layer Deposition of ZnO on Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes and Its Use for Synthesis of CNT–ZnO Heterostructures

In this article, direct coating of ZnO on PECVD-grown multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) is achieved using atomic layer deposition (ALD). Transmission electron microscopy investigation shows that the deposited ZnO shell is continuous and uniform, in contrast to the previously reported particle morphology. The ZnO layer has a good crystalline quality as indicated by Raman and photoluminescen...

High Resolution Image with Multi-wall Carbon Nanotube Atomic Force Microscopy Tip (RESEARCH NOTE)

In this paper, a simple and reproducible approach for attaching the multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) to the apex of the atomic force microscope probe has been proposed. For this purpose, the dielectrophoresis method was applied due to its simple performance, cheapness and reliability. In this method, various parameters such as voltage, frequency, concentration of carbon nanotubes solution an...
