AbstractA dry method for the growth of highly-structured Cu-containing chalcopyrite material on solid substrates, based on the use of metallic precursors, is described. Nanocrystals, sub-micrometer polycrystalline dots, and macroscopic clusters have be grown, either as isolated units or alternatively as embedded structures in a matrix of a binary chalcogenide compound, by adjusting processing parameters. Vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) induced growth has been used for the growth of chalcopyrite nanowires. Examples of material characterization by scanning probe techniques are shown, demonstrating the suitability of the proposed growth method.

Geometrically Constrained

ABSTRACTMicromechanical structures designed for material characterization through analysis of their nonlinear dynamic response are presented. The structures consist of a rigid movable mass supported by beams which are attached to the wafer substrate. The structures are designed so that they are geometrically constrained, which is the source of their nonlinearity. The nonlinearity is shown to be well modeled by Duffing's equation for a stiffening spring and it is this model which is used to fit the test data to the desired mechanical properties, namely Young's modulus, intrinsic stress and damping.

Highly Porous

Material characterization of sol-gel-derived and electrodeposited MnO2 thin films showed that their microstructures are highly porous in nature. While sol-gel-derived films are nanoparticulate, electrodeposited films showed macropores of random and irregular platelike structures, comprising much denser surface layers and highly porous underlying layers. On the basis of calculated and theoretical density values of 1 and 4.99 g/cm3, respectively, the porosity of sol-gel-derived MnO2 films was determined to be as high as 80%, which is substantially higher than electrodeposited films at 67%. Apart from their higher specific capacitance, sol-gel-derived MnO2 films appeared to exhibit higher cycling stability and reversibility than electrodeposited MnO2 films. In the case of sol-gel films, thinner films appeared to exhibit higher cycling stability than thicker films. There was less alteration in surface morphology and microstructure, and the rate of loss in charge-storage capacity upon voltammetric cycling was not as significant for sol-gel MnO2 thin films
