Ordered zinc-vacancy induced Zn0.75Ox nanophase structure

چکیده
Using transmission electron microscopy, a new nano-phase structure of Zn0.75Ox induced by Zn-vacancy has been discovered to grow on wurtzite ZnO nanobelts. The superstructure grows epitaxial from the f0 110g surface of the wurtzite ZnO nanobelts and can be fitted as an orthorhombic structure, with lattice parameters a 0Z2a, b0z ffiffiffi 3 p a and c 0Zc, where a and c are the lattice parameters of ZnO. The superstructured phase is resulted from high-density Zn vacancies orderly distributed in the ZnO matrix. This study provides direct observation about the existence of Zn-vacancies in ZnO. q 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. PACS: 61.72.Ff; 61.72.Ji; 68.37.Lp

Intrinsic vacancy-induced nanoscale wire structure in heteroepitaxial Ga2Se3/Si(001).
A highly anisotropic growth morphology is found for heteroepitaxial gallium sesquiselenide (Ga2Se3) on the lattice matched substrate, arsenic-terminated Si(001). Scanning tunneling microscopy of Ga2Se3 films reveals nanoscale, wirelike structures covering the surface in parallel lines, less than 1 nm wide and up to 30 nm long. Core-level photoemission spectroscopy and diffraction reveals the lo...

Chromium-doped gallium sesquiselenide, Cr:Ga2Se3, is a member of a new class of dilute magnetic semiconductor exploiting intrinsic vacancies in the host material. The correlation among room-temperature ferromagnetism, surface morphology, electronic structure, chromium concentration and local chemical and structural environments in Cr:Ga2Se3 films grown epitaxially on silicon is investigated wit...

متن کاملOrdered vacancy network induced by the growth of epitaxial graphene on Pt(111).
We have studied large areas of (√3×√3)R30° graphene commensurate with a Pt(111) substrate. A combination of experimental techniques with ab initio density functional theory indicates that this structure is related to a reconstruction at the Pt surface, consisting of an ordered vacancy network formed in the outermost Pt layer and a graphene layer covalently bound to the Pt substrate. The formati...

We have performed density-functional pseudopotential calculations to investigate the electronic structure, atomic configurations, and formation energies of native point defects and impurities in AlN. For the native defects, the nitrogen vacancy has the lowest formation energy in p-type material and the aluminum vacancy has the lowest formation energy in n-type material. Under n-type conditions ...
