AbstractSurface structure of (NH4)2S treated GaAs. is investigated using PL (PhotoLuminescence), XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) and RHEED (Reflection of High Energy Electron beam Diffraction). The data taken with these techniques show the strong dependence upon the crystal orientations coming from the stabilities of chemical bonds of Ga-S and As-S on GaAs crystals. The greater enhancement of PL intensity, the clearer RHEED patterns and the smaller amount of oxides on (111)A than (111)B implies the realization of a more stable structure composed mainly of the Ga-S chemical bond.

In this work, we present a strategy to improve the gas-sensing performance of NiFe2O4 via a controllable annealing Ni/Fe precursor to fluffy NiFe2O4 nanosheet flowers. X-ray diffraction (XRD), a scanning electron microscope (SEM), nitrogen adsorption–desorption measurements and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to characterize the crystal structure, morphology, specific surface area and surface structure. The gas-sensing performance was tested and the results demonstrate that the response was strongly influenced by the specific surface area and surface structure. The resultant NiFe2O4 nanosheet flowers with a heating rate of 8 °C min−1, which have a fluffier morphology and more oxygen vacancies in the surface, exhibited enhanced response and shortened response time toward ethanol. The easy approach facilitates the mass production of gas sensors based on bimetallic ferrites with high sensing performance via controlling the morphology and surface structure.
