Here we report on the growth and evolution of ZnO nanowires grown from ZnO nanopowder as a source material using a horizontal muffle furnace. The shape evolution has been studied with variation in growth temperature and zinc vapor pressure. The structural analysis on these nanostructures shows c-axis oriented aligned growth. Scanning electron microscopy imaging of these nanostructures revealed the shape evolution from nanowires to nanoribbons and then to nanorods as the growth temperature increases from 650°C to 870°C. At 650°C, only vertical nanowires have been observed and with increase in growth temperature nanowires transform to nanoribbons and then to nanorods at 870°C. And we also observed simultaneous growth of nanorods and nanoribbons under a specific growth condition. We believe that these nanowires and nanorods were formed by vapor–liquid–solid growth mechanism (catalyst-mediated growth), whereas nanoribbons were grown by vapor–solid growth mechanism (without the aid of a metal catalyst). We observed simultaneous occurrence of vapor–liquid–solid and vapor–solid growth mechanisms at a particular growth temperature. These ZnO nanowires exhibit bound exciton related UV emission at ~379 nm, and defect-emission band in the visible region. Possible growth mechanism, shape evolution, and simultaneous growth of two types of one-dimensional ZnO nanostructures under the same growth condition are discussed.

Carbonation plays an indispensable role in engineering construction, embracing mineralization, CO2 sequestration and low pH induced corrosion, but the essential mechanism of carbonation occurring in calcium silicate hydrate or portlandite can hardly be interpreted.

AbstractThe initial stages of heteroepitaxial growth of GaAs on Si have been observed using a technique of graded-thickness sample deposition. We find that an initial uniform passivating layer is grown, followed by three-dimensional nucleation determined by Ga diffusion and clustering, followed in turn by an interfacial reaction limited island growth mechanism. Results for various substrate temperatures and substrate orientations are consistent with the simple models of nucleation and growth.

ABSTRACTHighly oriented diamond films were deposited on a (001) silicon substrate by bias enhanced MPCVD technique. Three-dimensional TEM characterizations were carried out to understand the nucleation and growth mechanism of diamond grains. The surface morphology, defects, and misorientations of diamond films were compared as a function of synthesizing temperatures and thickness of the films. From our experimental results the texture formation mechanism of diamond films is discussed.
