摘要
使用一种简单的化学气相沉积法成功地在c面蓝宝石衬底上外延生长了整齐排列的ZnGa_2O_4单晶纳米线。研究了在不同生长温度和生长压力下外延生长ZnGa_2O_4纳米线,并使用XRD,SEM和TEM对产物进行了表征。结果表明,在生长条件为980℃和100 Torr时,可以外延生长出整齐排列的ZnGa_2O_4纳米线。所制备的ZnGa_2O_4纳米线直径为60~150 nm,并遵循Au催化的VLS生长机制沿其四个结晶学方向在蓝宝石上外延生长。分析了纳米线沿四个方向生长的原因,并对纳米线的光致发光性能进行了探讨。
Well-aligned single-crystalline ZnGa_2O_4 nanowires were successfully epitaxially grown on c-plane sapphire substrate by a convenient chemical vapor deposition( CVD) method. Different growth temperatures and growth pressures to epitaxially grow ZnGa_2O_4 were investigated and the as-prepared samples were characterized by XRD,SEM,and TEM. It was found that well-aligned ZnGa_2O_4 nanowires can be epitaxially grown on c-plane sapphire substrate at 980 ℃ and 100 Torr. The asprepared ZnGa_2O_4 nanowires have a diameter of 60-150 nm,and epitaxially grow in four crystallographic directions following the Au-catalyzed VLS growth mechanism on the sapphire. The mechanism for the growth of nanowires in four directions was disscussed,and the photoluminescence properties of ZnGa_2O_4 nanowires were characterized.
