Formation mechanisms of Fe_3-xSn_xO₄ by a chemical vapor transport (CVT) process.

ABSTRACT: Our former study reported that Fe-Sn spinel (Fe_3-xSn_xO₄) was easily formed when SnO₂ and Fe₃O₄ were roasted under CO-CO₂ atmosphere at 900-1100 °C. However, the formation procedure is still unclear and there is a lack of theoretical research on the formation mechanism of the Fe-Sn spinel. In this work, the reaction mechanisms between SnO₂ and Fe₃O₄ under CO-CO₂ atmosphere were determined using XRD, VSM, SEM-EDS, XPS, etc. The results indicated that the formation of Fe_3-xSn_xO₄ could be divided into four steps: reduction of SnO₂ to solid phase SnO, volatilization of gaseous SnO, adsorption of gaseous SnO on the surface of Fe₃O₄, and redox reaction between SnO and Fe₃O₄. During the roasting process, part of Fe³⁺ in Fe₃O₄ was reduced to Fe²⁺ by gaseous SnO, and meanwhile Sn²⁺ was oxidized to Sn⁴⁺ and entered into Fe_3-xSn_xO₄. The reaction between SnO₂ and Fe₃O₄ could be summarized as Fe₃O₄ + xSnO_(g) → Fe_3-xSn_xO₄ (x = 0-1.0).

Sn-Induced Phase Stabilization and Enhanced Thermal Stability of κ-Ga2O3 Grown by Mist Chemical Vapor Deposition.

Project description:Tin (Sn)-doped orthorhombic gallium oxide (κ-Ga2O3) films were grown on (0001) sapphire by mist chemical vapor deposition. It is known that κ-Ga2O3 is more stable than α-Ga2O3 (corundum) but less stable than β-Ga2O3 (monoclinic). This thermodynamic stability means an optimal growth temperature (T g) of the κ-phase (600-650 °C) is also in between the two. At first, it was observed that Sn doping induced the κ-phase during the growth of the β-phase (T g = 700 °C). Interestingly, Sn could also promote the κ-phase even under the growth condition that strongly favors the α-phase (T g = 450 °C). The postgrowth annealing tests at 800-1000 °C showed that the thermal stability of the κ-phase depends on the Sn concentration. The higher the Sn concentration, the more stable the phase. The one with the highest Sn content showed no phase transition from κ to β after annealing at 800, 900, and 1000 °C for 30 min each. This enhancement of thermal stability promises more reliable high-power and high-frequency devices for which κ-Ga2O3 is suitable. Although there was no correlation between Sn-induced phase stabilization and the crystal quality, cathodoluminescence revealed that increasing Sn concentration led to the strong suppression of the radiative recombination at 340 nm from the vacancy-related donor-acceptor pairs. This observation suggests that the phase stabilization by Sn could be related to a specific Ga site Sn replaces in the orthorhombic structure.

Single crystals of SnTe3O8 in the millimetre range grown by chemical vapor transport reactions.

Project description:Tin(IV) trioxidotellurate(IV), SnTe3O8, is a member of the isotypic M IVTeIV 3O8 (M = Ti, Zr, Hf, Sn) series crystallizing with eight formula units per unit cell in space group Ia . In comparison with the previous crystal structure model of SnTe3O8 based on powder X-ray diffraction data [Meunier & Galy (1971 ▸). Acta Cryst. B27, 602-608], the current model based on single-crystal X-ray data is improved in terms of precision and accuracy. Nearly regular [SnO6] octa-hedra (Sn site symmetry ..) are situated in the voids of an oxidotellurate(IV) framework built up by corner-sharing [TeO4] bis-phenoids (Te site symmetry 2..). A qu-anti-tative structural comparison revealed a very high degree of similarity for the structures with M = Ti, Zr, Sn in the M IVTe3O8 series.

Formation Mechanisms of InGaAs Nanowires Produced by a Solid-Source Two-Step Chemical Vapor Deposition.

Project description:The morphologies and microstructures of Au-catalyzed InGaAs nanowires (NWs) prepared by a two-step solid-source chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method were systematically investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The detailed structural characterization and statistical analysis reveal that two specific morphologies are dominant in InGaAs NWs, a zigzag surface morphology and a smooth surface morphology. The zigzag morphology results from the periodic existence of twining structures, and the smooth morphology results from a lack of twining structures. HRTEM images and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) indicate that the catalyst heads have two structures, Au4In and AuIn2, which produce InGaAs NWs in a cubic phase crystalline form. The growth mechanism of the InGaAs NWs begins with Au nanoparticles melting into small spheres. In atoms are diffused into the Au spheres to form an Au-In alloy. When the concentration of In inside the alloy reaches its saturation point, the In precipitate reacts with Ga and As atoms to form InGaAs at the interface between the catalyst and substrate. Once the InGaAs compound forms, additional precipitation and reactions only occur at the interface of the InGaAs and the catalyst. These results provide a fundamental understanding of the InGaAs NW growth process which is critical to the formation of high-quality InGaAs NWs for various device applications.

Enthalpies of Formation of (Cu,Ni)3Sn, (Cu,Ni)6Sn5-HT and (Ni,Cu)3Sn2-HT.

Project description:Standard enthalpies of formation of ternary phases in the Cu-Ni-Sn system were determined along sections at 25, 41 and 45.5 at.% Sn applying tin solution drop calorimetry. Generally, the interaction of Ni with Sn is much stronger than that of Cu with Sn. Along all sections the enthalpy of formation changes almost linearly with the mutual substitution of Cu and Ni within the respective homogeneity ranges. Thus no additional ternary interaction promoting the formation of further Cu-Ni-Sn phases can be assumed. The results are discussed and compared with literature values relevant to this system.

Methane-Mediated Vapor Transport Growth of Monolayer WSe2 Crystals.

Project description:The electrical and optical properties of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) can be tuned by controlling their composition and the number of layers they have. Among various TMDs, the monolayer WSe2 has a direct bandgap of 1.65 eV and exhibits p-type or bipolar behavior, depending on the type of contact metal. Despite these promising properties, a lack of efficient large-area production methods for high-quality, uniform WSe2 hinders its practical device applications. Various methods have been investigated for the synthesis of large-area monolayer WSe2, but the difficulty of precisely controlling solid-state TMD precursors (WO3, MoO3, Se, and S powders) is a major obstacle to the synthesis of uniform TMD layers. In this work, we outline our success in growing large-area, high-quality, monolayered WSe2 by utilizing methane (CH4) gas with precisely controlled pressure as a promoter. When compared to the catalytic growth of monolayered WSe2 without a gas-phase promoter, the catalytic growth of the monolayered WSe2 with a CH4 promoter reduced the nucleation density to 1/1000 and increased the grain size of monolayer WSe2 up to 100 ?m. The significant improvement in the optical properties of the resulting WSe2 indicates that CH4 is a suitable candidate as a promoter for the synthesis of TMD materials, because it allows accurate gas control.

de Haas-van Alphen effect of correlated Dirac states in kagome metal Fe3Sn2.

Project description:Primarily considered a medium of geometric frustration, there has been a growing recognition of the kagome network as a harbor of lattice-borne topological electronic phases. In this study we report the observation of magnetoquantum de Haas-van Alphen oscillations of the ferromagnetic kagome lattice metal Fe3Sn2. We observe a pair of quasi-two-dimensional Fermi surfaces arising from bulk massive Dirac states and show that these band areas and effective masses are systematically modulated by the rotation of the ferromagnetic moment. Combined with measurements of Berry curvature induced Hall conductivity, our observations suggest that the ferromagnetic Dirac fermions in Fe3Sn2 are subject to intrinsic spin-orbit coupling in the d electron sector which is likely of Kane-Mele type. Our results provide insights for spintronic manipulation of magnetic topological electronic states and pathways to realizing further highly correlated topological materials from the lattice perspective.

Design of Reduction Process of SnO2 by CH4 for Efficient Sn Recovery.

Project description:We design a novel method for the CH4 reduction of SnO2 for the efficient recovery of Sn from SnO2 through a study combining theory and experiment. The atomic-level process of CH4-SnO2 interaction and temperature-dependent reduction behavior of SnO2 were studied with a combination of a multi-scale computational method of thermodynamic simulations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We found that CH4 was a highly efficient and a versatile reducing agent, as the total reducing power of CH4 originates from the carbon and hydrogen of CH4, which sequentially reduce SnO2. Moreover, as a result of the CH4 reduction of SnO2, a mixture of CO and H2 was produced as a gas-phase product (syngas). The relative molar ratio of the produced gas-phase product was controllable by the reduction temperature and the amount of supplied CH4. The laboratory-scale experimental study confirmed that CH4 actively reduces SnO2, producing 99.34% high-purity Sn and H2 and CO. Our results present a novel method for an efficient, green, and economical recycling strategy for Sn with economic value added that is held by the co-produced clean energy source (syngas).

Controllable Tunneling Triboelectrification of Two-Dimensional Chemical Vapor Deposited MoS2.

Project description:Tunneling triboelectrification of chemical vapor deposited monolayer MoS2 has been characterized at nanoscale with contact-mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Kelvin force microscopy (KFM). Although charges can be trapped on insulators like SiO2 by conventional triboelectrification, triboelectric charges tunneling through MoS2 and localized at the underlying substrate exhibit more than two orders of magnitude longer lifetime. Their polarity and density can be modified by triboelectric process with various bias voltages applied to Pt-coated AFM tips, and the saturated density is almost 30 times higher than the reported result of SiO2. Thus, the controllable tunneling triboelectric properties of MoS2 on insulating substrates can provide guidance to build a new class of two-dimensional (2D) MoS2-based nanoelectronic devices.

Chemical vapor deposition of germanium-rich CrGe x nanowires.

Project description:Chemical vapor deposition was applied to synthetize nanostructured deposits containing several sorts of nanoobjects (i.e., nanoballs, irregular particles, and nanowires). Analytical techniques, that is, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, electron dispersive X-ray analysis, selected area electron diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, showed that unlike nanoballs and particles composed of crystalline germanium, the layer was made of chromium germanide CrGe x . The nanowires possessed a complex structure, namely a thin crystalline germanium core and amorphous CrGe x coating. The composition of the nanowire coating was [Cr]/[Ge] = 1:(6-7). The resistance of the nanowire-deposit system was estimated to be 2.7 kΩ·cm using an unique vacuum contacting system.

Triboelectrification of Two-Dimensional Chemical Vapor Deposited WS2 at Nanoscale.

Project description:Triboelectric properties of chemical vapor deposited WS2 nanoflakes have been characterized in nano-range by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Kelvin force microscopy (KFM). The triboelectric process is dependent on the thickness of WS2 nanoflakes, and it is sensitive to the adsorbates like water molecules, as well as transferred Pt from the tip on the sample. The density of tribo-charge can be modified by applying various biases to the conductive Pt-coated tip during the frictional process. Tunneling of the tribo-charge into the gap between WS2 and the underlying substrate results in a long lifetime, which is about 100 times longer than conventional triboelectric charges. Moreover, we observe a positive correlation between the layer number and resistance to charge dissipation. Our finding can become the driving force for a new category of two-dimensional (2D) WS2 triboelectrically controllable nanodevices.
