We report the synthesis of Graphitic Nanoribbons (GNRs) using Alcohol Catalytic Chemical Vapor Deposition (ACCVD). Bulk GNR was synthesized directly on a piezoelectric substrate using one-step ACCVD. The synthesized GNRs were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), and Raman spectroscopy. The characterization results showed Y-tip morphology of bulk and filamentous as-grown GNR having varying width that lies between tens and hundreds of nm and length of several microns. Based on the thickness obtained from the AFM and the analysis from the Raman spectroscopy, it was concluded that the synthesized GNRs are multiple-layered and graphitic in nature. With the direct synthesis of GNR on a piezoelectric substrate, it could have applications in the sensor industries, while the Y-tip GNR could have potentialities in semiconductor applications.

MoO3 microfilms and nanorods can be synthesized by using the powder of MoS2 as starting materials by thermal chemical vapor deposition. The prepared products on substrates were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman spectroscopy. FESEM images showed the uniformly microfilms and nanorods-like with diameter around 50-100 nm and length of about through 5 μm, respectively. XPS patterns and Raman shifts revealed the prepared products consisting of MoO3 structure phases.

ABSTRACTThis paper reports a procedure for low-temperature nitridation of silicon dioxide (SiO2) surfaces using species produced by catalytic decomposition of NH3 on heated tungsten in catalytic chemical vapor deposition (Cat-CVD) system. The surface of SiO2/Si(100) was nitrided at temperatures as low as 200°C. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements revealed that incorporated N atoms are bound to Si atoms and O atoms and located top-surface of SiO2.

We have synthesized the high-density Ga2O3 nanowires on gold (Au)-coated silicon substrates using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The nanowires exhibited one-dimensional structures having circular cross sections with diameters in the range of 30-200 nm. The energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy revealed that the nanowires contained elements of Ga and O, without Au-related impurities. X-ray diffraction analysis and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy showed that the Ga2O3 nanowires were crystalline.

AbstractInGaN films in the 0–50% InN composition range have been analyzed for the occurrence of phase separation. The ñ0.5 jum thick InGaN films were grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) in the 690 to 780°C temperature range and analyzed by θ−20 x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and selected area diffraction (SAD). As-grown films with up to 21% InN were single phase. However, for films with 28% InN and higher, the samples showed a spinodally decomposed microstructure as confirmed by TEM and extra spots in SAD patterns that corresponded to multiphase InGaN. An explanation of the data based on the GaN-InN pseudo-binary phase diagram is discussed.

Silicon carbide nanowires have been extensively studied because of their unique physical and chemical properties. They can be applied in high temperature, high frequency, high power, and corrosive environments, and have a wide range of applications in electronics, chemical industry, energy and other fields. In this paper, SiC nanowires with high output were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition method using methyltrichlorosilane as raw material. The influences of the catalyst and temperature were studied. SiC nanochains were also obtained by adding Al2O3 powder under appropriate temperature controlled strategy. These two kinds of one-dimensional SiC nanomaterials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) methods.

Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) have been synthesized in high yield (>70%) by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) on Co/LiF catalyst using acetylene as carbon source. A novel catalyst support (LiF) is reported for the first time as an alternative for large-scale production of carbon nanofibers while purification process of nanofibers is easier. In our experiment, the sealed furnace was heated at700∘Cfor 0.5 hour (the heating rate was10∘C/min) and then cooled to room temperature in the furnace naturally. Catalytic chemical vapor deposition is of interest for fundamental understanding and improvement of commercial synthesis of carbon nanofibers (CNFs). The obtained sample was sequentially washed with ethanol, dilutes acid, and distilled water to remove residual impurities, amorphous carbon materials, and remaining of catalyst, and then dried at110∘Cfor 24 hours. The combined physical characterization through several techniques, such as high-resolution transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), thermogarvimetric analysis (TGA), and zeta-sizer and Raman spectroscopy, allows determining the geometric characteristic and the microstructure of individual carbon nanofibers. Catalytic chemical vapor deposition is of interest for fundamental understanding and improvement of commercial synthesis of carbon nanofibers (CNFs). As a matter of fact, the method of CCVD guarantees the production of CNFs for different applications.

In order to improve surface characteristics of carbon fibers, using nickel granules as catalysts, nano carbon with different morphologies was deposited in-situ on the surface of carbon fibers by the method of Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). The observations by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) indicated that keeping the excellent performance of plating nickels catalyst and a suitable deposition rate of Pyrogenation Carbon (PyC) are the key factors for getting Carbon Nanotube and Carbon Nanofiber (CNT/CNF). In this experiment, the optimum operation conditions are: plating time at 5min, deposition temperature at 1173K, deposition time at 2 hours, flow of C3H6, H2 and N2 at 30, 200 and 400ml/min respectively, deposition pressure at 700-1000Pa. Evolution rules of nano carbon are explained in growth mechanism of Catalytic Chemical Vapor Deposition (CCVD).

The purpose of this work is to study the structural and morphological modification of the surface of the n-type diamond electrodes as a function of nitrogen doping. The characterizations of these electrodes were made using Raman Spectroscopy, Contact Angle, X-ray diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The nitrogen-doped diamond (NDD) electrodes were produced using Hot Filament-assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition method (HFCVD) from methane, hydrogen and nitrogen in the gas mixture. The results from Raman spectroscopy show that the diamond films obtained with nitrogen addition presented one large band at 1100-1700 cm-1. The SEM images showed that the variation in the nitrogen doping influenced the growth rate of films by promoting changes in the sizes of grains from microcrystalline to nanocrystalline texture. This behavior supported the results obtained from X-ray diffraction analyses. It was possible to verify a decrease in the crystallite size as a function of the nitrogen increase.
