The metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) process for electronic and photonic compound semiconductor materials and devices is reviewed. We begin with an introduction to the basic MOCVD chemical reaction process, gas delivery equipment, reaction chambers, and safety. Growth mechanisms, including hydrodynamics, boundary-layer issues, thermal effects, and pyrolysis reactions, are defined,...

In this study, we investigated carbon feedstock decomposition conditions on the synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) by chemical vapour deposition. We simulated gas-phase thermal decomposition of ethanol and dimethyl ether (DME) at typical SWNT growth conditions using the chemical kinetic model, and confirmed the reaction trends and primary products using Fourier transform infrar...

fe3o4 nanoparticles were synthesizedviaa simple chemical reaction between fecl2.4h2o and fe(no3)3.9h2o under nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature, and then nanoparticles were added to cellulose acetate (ca) polymer. the influence of nanoparticles on the thermal properties of ca polymeric matrix was studied using thermogravimetric analysis (tga). nanostructures were characterized by x-ray dif...

The effect of mechanical activation on structural changes and kinetics of carbothermic reduction of hematite with graphite was studied in this research. Hematite powder mixture with graphite (with stoichiometry ratio C/O=1) was milled for the time periods of zero to 50 hours, and the structural changes were studied using X ray diffraction (XRD). The effect of mechanical activation on the kineti...

The effect of hall current onan unsteady magnetohydrodynamic flow of heat and mass transfer of an electrically conducting incompressible fluid along an infinite vertical porous plate in presence ofthermal radiation, viscous dissipationand chemical reaction has been studied.The fluid is considered to be a gray, absorbing emitting but non – scattering medium and the Rosseland approximation is use...
