ABSTRACTLow temperature oxidation process of Si(100) substrates using atomic oxygen has been proposed. For the generation of atomic oxygen, microwave plasma remotely attached on the oxidation chamber was used. In the microwave plasma, the large amount of rare gas and a small amount of 02 gas mixture was supplied. The existence of the large amount of rare gas controls the plasma energy to some restricted values associated with the metastable states of the rare gas. Consequently, using Kr as mixed rare gas, atomic oxygen were efficiently generated instead of excited 02 molecules with any vibrational or ionized states. The oxidation kinetics of crystalline Si using this process was shown to be diffusion limiting, even if the oxide thickness was less than several nm. The activation energy of B, which is referred to as the parabolic rate constant, was found to be as low as 0.14eV In addition, lower interface trap density of 2.6 × 1011/cm2/eV at the mid gap could be achieved for the as-grown SiO2/Si(100) interface at the processing temperature of 500C.

The aim of the study was to establish the influence of a co-precipitation agent (i.e., NaOH–immediate precipitation; hexamethylenetetramine/urea–gradual precipitation and growth of nanostructures) on the properties and catalytic activity of as-synthesized Au-CeO2 nanocomposites. All catalysts were fully characterized with the use of XRD, nitrogen physisorption, ICP-OES, SEM, HR-TEM, UV-vis, XPS, and tested in low-temperature oxidation of benzyl alcohol as a model oxidation reaction. The results obtained in this study indicated that the type of co-precipitation agent has a significant impact on the growth of gold species. Immediate co-precipitation of Au-CeO2 nanostructures with the use of NaOH allowed obtainment of considerably smaller and more homogeneous in size gold nanoparticles than those formed by gradual co-precipitation and growth of Au-CeO2 nanostructures in the presence of hexamethylenetetramine or urea. In the catalytic tests, it was established that the key factor promoting high activity in low-temperature oxidation of benzyl alcohol was size of gold nanoparticles. The highest conversion of the alcohol was observed for the catalyst containing the smallest Au particle size (i.e., Au-CeO2 nanocomposite prepared with the use of NaOH as a co-precipitation agent).
