Graphitic carbon growth on crystalline and amorphous oxide substrates using molecular beam epitaxy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report graphitic carbon growth on crystalline and amorphous oxide substrates by using carbon molecular beam epitaxy. The films are characterized by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The formations of nanocrystalline graphite are observed on silicon dioxide and glass, while mainly sp2 amorphous carbons are formed on strontium titanate and yttria-stabilized zirconia. Interestingly, flat carbon layers with high degree of graphitization are formed even on amorphous oxides. Our results provide a progress toward direct graphene growth on oxide materials.PACS: 81.05.uf; 81.15.Hi; 78.30.Ly.

Molecular beam epitaxial growth of gallium nitride nanowires on atomic layer deposited aluminum oxide
Semiconductor nanowires have received increasing focus from researchers due to their one dimensional characteristics, which offer new horizons for device designs. Nanowire growth has been shown to yield crystalline material on non-lattice matched substrates. Concerning gallium nitride nanowires, common growth substrates have been silicon (100) and (111) substrates. This manuscript discusses the...
متن کاملGrowth and optical property characterization of textured barium titanate thin films for photonic applications
We have investigated the growth of barium titanate thin films on bulk crystalline and amorphous substrates utilizing biaxially oriented template layers. Ion beam-assisted deposition was used to grow thin, biaxially textured, magnesium oxide template layers on amorphous and silicon substrates. Growth of highly oriented barium titanate films on these template layers was achieved by molecular beam...
متن کاملGraphitic carbon grown on fluorides by molecular beam epitaxy
We study the growth mechanism of carbon molecules supplied by molecular beam epitaxy on fluoride substrates (MgF2, CaF2, and BaF2). All the carbon layers form graphitic carbon with different crystallinities depending on the cation. Especially, the growth on MgF2 results in the formation of nanocrystalline graphite (NCG). Such dependence on the cation is a new observation and calls for further s...
متن کاملLow interface state density oxide-GaAs structures fabricated by in situ molecular beam epitaxy
Several oxide-GaAs heterostructures were fabricated using in situ multiple-chamber molecular beam epitaxy. The oxides include SiO2, MgO, and Ga2O3~Gd2O3!, all evaporated by an electron beam method. The SiO2 and Ga2O3~Gd2O3! films are amorphous while the MgO films are crystalline and part of the films are epitaxially grown on GaAs~100!. Among these heterostructures, the Ga2O3~Gd2O3!–GaAs shows a...

The lack of complete understanding of the substrate effects on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) growth poses a lot oftechnical challenges. Here, we report the direct growth of nanostructures such as the CNTs on stainless steel 304and brass substrates using thermal chemical vapor deposition (TCVD) process with C2H2 gas as carbon sourceand hydrogen as supporting gas mixed in Ar gas flow. We used an especi...
