The properties of transparent TiO2 films for Schottky photodetector.

ABSTRACT: In this data, the properties of transparent TiO2 film for Schottky photodetector are presented for the research article, entitled as "High-performing transparent photodetectors based on Schottky contacts" (Patel et al., 2017) [1]. The transparent photoelectric device was demonstrated by using various Schottky metals, such as Cu, Mo and Ni. This article mainly shows the optical transmittance of the Ni-transparent Schottky photodetector, analyzed by the energy dispersive spectroscopy and interfacial TEM images for transparency to observe the interface between NiO and TiO2 film. The observation and analyses clearly show that no pinhole formation in the TiO2 film by Ni diffusion. The rapid thermal process is an effective way to form the quality TiO2 film formation without degradation, such as pinholes (Qiu et al., 2015) [2]. This thermal process may apply to form functional metal oxide layers for solar cells and photodetectors.

Transparent anti-fogging and self-cleaning TiO2/SiO2 thin films on polymer substrates using atmospheric plasma.

Project description:Transparent anti-fogging and self-cleaning coatings are of great interest for many applications, including solar panels, windshields and displays or lenses to be used in humid environments. In this paper, we report on the simultaneous synthesis, at atmospheric pressure, of anatase TiO2 nanoparticles and low-temperature, high-rate deposition of anatase TiO2/SiO2 nanocomposite coatings. These coatings exhibit durable super-hydrophilic and photocatalytic properties. The strategy followed relies on concomitant and separated injections of titania, i.e. titanium isopropoxide, and silica, i.e. hexamethyldisiloxane, precursors in the stream of a blown-arc discharge to form transparent anti-fogging and self-cleaning anatase TiO2/SiO2 nanocomposite coatings on polymer substrates.

High-performance near-infrared Schottky-photodetector based graphene/In2S3 van der Waals heterostructures.

Project description:Two-dimensional (2D) β-In2S3 is a natural defective n-type semiconductor attracting considerable interest for its excellent photoelectronic performance. However, β-In2S3 based photodetectors exhibited a weak near-infrared photoresponse compared to visible wavelength in past reports. In this work, high-quality 2D β-In2S3 nanosheets were prepared by a space-confined chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Graphene/In2S3 van der Waals heterostructures were constructed to realize an enhanced near-infrared photodetection performance by a series of transfer processes. The photodetectors based on graphene/In2S3 van der Waals heterostructures through junction carrier separation exhibited a better infrared performance of high photoresponsivity (R light) of 0.49 mA W-1, external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 0.07%, and detectivity (D*) of 3.05 × 107 jones using an 808 nm laser.

Redox Properties of TiO2 Thin Films Grown on Mesoporous Silica by Atomic Layer Deposition.

Project description:The redox properties of titania films grown by ALD on SBA-15, a silica-based mesoporous material, were characterized as a function of thickness (that is, the number of ALD cycles used). 29Si CP/MAS NMR helped to identify the nature of the surface species that form in the initial stages of deposition, and infrared absorption spectroscopy was used to follow the transition from silica to titania surfaces. The reducibility of the titania sites by CO and H2 was studied ex situ using EPR and in situ with ambient-pressure XPS. It was determined that the titania ALD films are amorphous and easier to reduce than crystalline titania and that the reduction is reversible. A transition in the nature of the surface was also observed, with unique mixed Si-O-Ti sites forming during the first few ALD cycles and a more typical titania surface progressively developing as the film grows in thickness.

Synthesis, characterization and photocatalytic properties of nanostructured lanthanide doped β-NaYF4/TiO2 composite films.

Project description:The photocatalytic approach is known to be one of the most promising advanced oxidation processes for the tertiary treatment of polluted water. In this paper, β-NaYF4/TiO2 composite films have been synthetized through a novel sol-gel/spin-coating approach using a mixture of β-diketonate complexes of Na and Y, and Yb3+, Tm3+, Gd3+, Eu3+ as doping ions, together with the TiO2 P25 nanoparticles. The herein pioneering approach represents an easy, straightforward and industrially appealing method for the fabrication of doped β-NaYF4/TiO2 composites. The effect of the doped β-NaYF4 phase on the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) has been deeply investigated. In particular, the upconverting TiO2/β-NaYF4: 20%Yb, 2% Gd, x% Tm (x = 0.5 and 1%) and the downshifting TiO2/β-NaYF4: 10% Eu composite films have been tested on MB degradation both under UV and visible light irradiation. An improvement up to 42.4% in the degradation of MB has been observed for the TiO2/β-NaYF4: 10% Eu system after 240 min of UV irradiation.

Phosphorus doped SnO2 thin films for transparent conducting oxide applications: synthesis, optoelectronic properties and computational models.

Project description:Phosphorus doped tin(iv) oxide (P:SnO2) films have been synthesised by an aerosol assisted chemical vapour deposition route. Triethyl phosphate was used as the phosphorus dopant source. The phosphorus concentration in solution was found to be key to electrical properties, with concentrations between 0.25-0.5 mol% phosphorus giving the lowest resistivities of the deposited films. The conductivity of the films synthesised improved on doping SnO2 with phosphorus, with resistivity values of 7.27 × 10-4 Ω cm and sheet resistance values of 18.2 Ω □-1 achieved for the most conductive films. Phosphorus doping up to 1.0 mol% was shown to improve visible light transmission of the deposited films. The phosphorus doping also had a significant effect on film morphology, with varying microstructures achieved. The films were characterised by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV/vis spectroscopy, Hall effect measurements and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The data generated was used to build computational models of phosphorus as a dopant for SnO2, showing that the phosphorus acts as a shallow one-electron n-type donor allowing for good conductivities. Phosphorus does not suffer from self-compensation issues associated with other dopants, such as fluorine.

Uniform self-rectifying resistive random-access memory based on an MXene-TiO2 Schottky junction.

Project description:For filamentary resistive random-access memory (RRAM) devices, the switching behavior between different resistance states usually occurs abruptly, while the random formation of conductive filaments usually results in large fluctuations in resistance states, leading to poor uniformity. Schottky barrier modulation enables resistive switching through charge trapping/de-trapping at the top-electrode/oxide interface, which is effective for improving the uniformity of RRAM devices. Here, we report a uniform RRAM device based on a MXene-TiO2 Schottky junction. The defect traps within the MXene formed during its fabricating process can trap and release the charges at the MXene-TiO2 interface to modulate the Schottky barrier for the resistive switching behavior. Our devices exhibit excellent current on-off ratio uniformity, device-to-device reproducibility, long-term retention, and endurance reliability. Due to the different carrier-blocking abilities of the MXene-TiO2 and TiO2-Si interface barriers, a self-rectifying behavior can be obtained with a rectifying ratio of 103, which offers great potential for large-scale RRAM applications based on MXene materials.

TiO2 Coatings Via Atmospheric-Pressure Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition for Enhancing the UV-Resistant Properties of Transparent Plastics.

Project description:Herein, TiO2 coatings were deposited on photodegradable polymers for protection from UV irradiation using the atmospheric-pressure plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (AP-PECVD) technique. Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and polycarbonate (PC) substrates were coated with titanium tetraisopropoxide as the precursor in an open-air atmospheric-pressure nonequilibrium argon plasma jet. The AP-PECVD-derived TiO2 coatings exhibited good adhesion to PMMA and PC. The TiO2 coatings could shield more than 99% of UV light in the wavelength range of 200-300 nm, without affecting the transmittance of visible light. UV irradiation tests on polymer films demonstrated that the degradation rates of PMMA and PC were significantly reduced by one-tenth after they were coated with TiO2 films.

Bi0.9Ho0.1FeO3/TiO2 Composite Thin Films: Synthesis and Study of Optical, Electrical and Magnetic Properties.

Project description:A visible light active Bi0.9Ho0.1FeO3 nanoparticles/TiO2 composite thin films with different mol.% of Bi0.9Ho0.1FeO3 were successfully prepared via non-aqueous sol-gel method. The incorporation of 5, 10 and 20 mol.% Bi0.9Ho0.1FeO3 nanoparticles in the precursor solution of TiO2 brings modifications in the functional properties of the composite thin films. XPS analysis indicates that interdiffusion of Fe3+, Ho3+, Bi3+/Ti4+ ions through the interfaces between Bi0.9Ho0.1FeO3 nanoparticles and TiO2 matrix reduces the concentration of Ti3+ ions. X-ray diffraction analysis affirms that TiO2 and Bi0.9Ho0.1FeO3 retain anatase and orthorhombic phase respectively in composite films. The composite thin film containing 20 mol.% Bi0.9Ho0.1FeO3 nanoparticles exhibits the most prominent absorption phenomenon in visible region and has significantly reduced indirect band gap of 2.46 eV compared to that of pure TiO2 (3.4 eV). Hall effect measurements confirm that the resistivity of composite film increases by ∼2.33 orders of magnitude and its carrier concentration decreases by 1.8 orders of magnitude at 5 mol.% Bi0.9Ho0.1FeO3 nanoparticles addition compared to those of pure TiO2 film. Moreover, the pure film exhibits diamagnetism, whereas the composite films have both large ferromagnetic and small diamagnetic components. The findings in this research justify that the composite film can be a potential candidate for making improved photocatalyst, resistors and spintronic devices.

Transparent EuTiO3 films: a possible two-dimensional magneto-optical device.

Project description:The magneto-optical activity of high quality transparent thin films of insulating EuTiO3 (ETO) deposited on a thin SrTiO3 (STO) substrate, both being non-magnetic materials, are demonstrated to be a versatile tool for light modulation. The operating temperature is close to room temperature and allows for multiple device engineering. By using small magnetic fields birefringence of the samples can be switched off and on. Similarly, rotation of the sample in the field can modify its birefringence ?n. In addition, ?n can be increased by a factor of 4 in very modest fields with simultaneously enhancing the operating temperature by almost 100?K.

Enhancing Hot-Electron Photodetection of a TiO2/Au Schottky Junction by Employing a Hybrid Plasmonic Nanostructure.

Project description:Hot-electron photodetectors (HEPDs) are triggering a strong surge of interest in applications of image sensors and optics communication, since they can realize photoelectric responses when the incident photon energy is lower than the bandwidth of the semiconductor. In traditional HEPD systems, the metal layers are dressed with regular gratings, which can only excite plasmonic resonance over a narrow bandwidth, limiting the hot-electron photoelectric effect. To break this limitation, hybrid plasmonic nanostructures should be applied in HEPDs. Here, we propose a TiO2 based HEPD device incorporated with a hybrid plasmonic nanostructure, which consists of Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) and a conformal transparent Au film. With the assistance of the plasmonic resonances excited in this hybrid nanostructure, the spectrum of the photocurrent response is significantly broadened from the UV band to the visible and near-infrared (NIR) ranges. It is demonstrated that at the wavelengths of 660 nm and 850 nm, the photocurrent in the hybrid HEPD device is enhanced by 610% and 960%, respectively, compared with the counterparts without the addition of Au NPs. This work promotes the development of high performances HEPDs, offering an alternative strategy for realizing photodetection and image sensing in the NIR range.
