The effect of the gaseous atmosphere in the growth of gallium arsenide (GaAs) films was studied. The films have been grown by close-spaced vapor transport (CSVT) technique in a home-made hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) reactor using molecular hydrogen and molecular nitrogen as the transport agent. An important point about the gaseous atmosphere is the ease in creating volatile compounds when it makes contact with the GaAs source, this favors the transport of material in a CSVT system. Chemical reactions are proposed in order to understand the significant difference produced from the gaseous atmosphere. The films grown with hydrogen are (almost) continuous and have homogeneous layers with preferential orientation (111). The films grown with nitrogen are granular and rough layers with the coexistence of the orientations (111), (220) and (311) in the crystals. The incorporation of impurities in the films was corroborated by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) showing traces of oxygen and nitrogen for the case of the samples obtained with nitrogen. Films grown in a hydrogen atmosphere show a higher band gap than those grown in a nitrogen atmosphere. With the results of XRD and micro-Raman we observe a displacement and broadening of the peaks, characteristic of a structural disorder. The calculations of the FWHM allow us to observe the crystallinity degree and determine an approximate crystallite size using the Scherrer’s equation.

SiOx nanoclusters were obtained by Hot Filament Chemical Vapor Deposition using a quartz solid source and atomic hydrogen. The nanoclusters were characterized by Photoluminescence, Atomic Force Microscopy, Energy Dispersive Analysis X-ray and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. FTIR and EDS characterization clearly show that the material is non stoichiometric silicon oxide with a composition that depends on the growth parameters, such as source-substrate distance and time of growth. Nanoclusters of SiOx presented photoluminescence with two principal peaks at around 859 and 920 nm. Photoluminescence intensity was enhanced when samples were annealed in hydrogen atmosphere and quenched when they were annealed in nitrogen atmosphere. However, it was observed that the same samples annealed once more with the initial atomic hydrogen conditions showed an increase in photoluminescence. From these results we suppose the photoluminescence produced in this material is influenced by deep level transitions associated with dangling bonds passivated with hydrogen on the surface of the Si crystallites embedded within SiOx nanoclusters.

AbstractWe investigate by photoluminescence (PL) nominally undoped, commercially available Zinc Oxide substrates (from Eagle Picher) grown by seeded chemical vapor transport technique in order to identify residual donors and acceptors. In low temperature PL spectra the dominant emission comes from the decay of bound exciton lines at around 3.36 eV. Zeeman measurements allow the identification of the two strongest lines and some weaker lines in-between as donorrelated. From the associated two-electron satellite lines binding energies of the major donors of 48 meV and 55 meV, respectively, can be deduced.

Abstract Herein, the evolution of reduction process of ultrafine tungsten powder in industrial conditions was investigated. The transition process of morphology and composition was examined via SEM, XRD, and calcination experiments. The results show that the reduction sequence of WO2.9 was WO2.9 → WO2.72 → WO2 → W on the surface, but WO2.9 → WO2 → W inside the oxide particles. With the aid of chemical vapor transport of WO x (OH) y , surface morphology transformed into rod-like, star-shaped cracking, floret, irregularly fibrous structure, and finally, spherical tungsten particles.
