ABSTRACTIn this work, we report the synthesis and characterization of three dimensional heterostructures graphene nanostructures (HGN) comprising continuous large area graphene layers and ZnO nanostructures, fabricated via chemical vapor deposition. Characterization of large area HGN demonstrates that it consists of 1-5 layers of graphene, and exhibits high optical transmittance and enhanced electrical conductivity. Electron microscopy investigation of the three dimensional heterostructures shows that the morphology of ZnO nanostructures is highly dependent on the growth temperature. It is observed that ordered crystalline ZnO nanostructures are preferably grown along the <0001> direction. Ultraviolet spectroscopy indicates that the CVD grown HGN layers has excellent optical properties. A combination of electrical and optical properties of graphene and ZnO building blocks in ZnO based HGN provides unique characteristics for opportunities in future optoelectronic devices.

AbstractPores in single crystalline semiconductors can be produced in a wide range of geometries and morphologies, including the “nano” regime. Porous semiconductors may have properties completely different from the bulk, and metamaterials with e.g. optical properties not encountered in natural materials are emerging. Possible applications of porous semiconductors include various novel sensors, but also more “exotic” uses as, e.g. high explosives or electrodes for micro fuel cells. The paper briefly reviews pore formation (including more applied aspects of large area etching), properties of porous semiconductors and emerging applications.

We review recent advances in the growth of Si1−xGex islands and Ge dots on (001) Si. We first discuss the evolution of the island morphology with Si1−xGex coverage and the effect of growth parameters or post-growth annealing on the shape of the islands and dots. We outline some of the structural and optical properties of Si1−xGex islands and assess progress in the determination of their composition and strain distribution. Finally, we discuss various approaches currently being investigated to engineer Si1−xGex quantum dots and in particular to control their size, density, and spatial distribution. For example, we show how C pre-deposition on Si (001) can influence the nucleation and growth of Ge islands.

We have investigated the growth of 3C-SiC using sublimation growth in the temperature range from 1800°C to 1950°C. The supersaturation was determined using numerical modeling of the temperature field and gas phase composition by applying quasi-equilibrium thermodynamic conditions. Analysis of the 3C-SiC yield was carried out by optical microscopy, optical absorption, Raman spectroscopy and x-ray analysis. Quantitative data on supersaturation are compared with most stable 3C-SiC nucleation and growth condition. Finally the application to large area growth in a physical vapor transport growth reactor is briefly addressed.
