Crystallographically oriented porous ZnO nanostructures with visible-blind photoresponse: controlling the growth and optical properties
摘要： We have grown catalyst-free crystallographically oriented porous ZnO nanostructures by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method. The deposition was performed in two stages for each sample. In the first stage, self-seeding of ZnO was performed on the quartz substrate, and the angle of deposition (seeding-angle) was varied. Thus, the growth of seeds is different here. In the second stage, the deposition was performed at a glancing angle (at 85?) for the fixed duration of time to grow the nanostructures. These PLD-grown nanostructures acquire highly oriented wurtzite structure. We find that the seeding-angle during the first stage is the determining deposition parameter which influences the growth and other properties of these nanostructures in a controllable manner. The variation in seeding-angle systematically tunes the crystallographic orientation and porosity, which in turn influences the visible-blindness and ultraviolet (UV) photoresponse of these nanonetworks. Here we report the growth of completely defect-free crystallographically oriented nanostructures with necessary porosity for application in visible-blind UV photodetection.

Controlling porosity and ultraviolet photoresponse of crystallographically oriented ZnO nanostructures grown by pulsed laser deposition
摘要： We have synthesized a series of porous nanostructures of c-axis oriented wurtzite ZnO using glancing angle pulsed laser deposition. During deposition, the oxygen partial pressure (PO2) was varied to study the effects on growth, porosity and optical properties. With varied PO2 the growth of nanostructure changes gradually without losing its crystallographic orientation. The variation in PO2 causes systematic change in porosity of these nanostructures, which strongly influences ultraviolet photoresponse. These results show that the parameters such as surface morphology, growth and porosity as well as the optoelectronic properties can be controlled by variation in PO2 without compromising the crystalline structure.

Near-infrared-light-triggered photoelectrochemical biosensor for detection of alpha-fetoprotein based on upconversion nanophosphors
摘要： A novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor based on hybrids of NaYF4:Yb, Tm， zinc oxide (ZnO) and cadmium sulfide (CdS) was constructed to detect alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), which possesses the advantages of low background noise and non-damage to the biological substance. Herein, we prepared NaYF4:Yb,Tm/ZnO/CdS composite film electrode by pulsed laser deposition. The selected materials of ZnO and CdS can make full use of the upconversion luminescence (~360nm, ~480nm) of NaYF4:Yb,Tm nanophosphors under 980nm laser excitation. Meanwhile, an effective matching of energy levels between the conduction bands of CdS and ZnO can prompt photoelectrochemical performance of the electrode. The biosensor shows ultrasensitive detection of AFP with a wide linear range from 0.01 ng mL-1 to 200 ng mL-1 and a low detection limit of 5 pg mL-1. Therefore, the proposed PEC biosensor based on upconversion nanophosphors is potentially attractive for achieving excellent photoelectrochemical biosensor for detection of other cancer markers in clinical analysis.

Structural, electronic and optical properties of pulsed laser deposited Cu2SnS3 photo absorber thin films: A combined experimental and computational study
摘要： Pulsed laser deposited thin films of Cu2SnS3 (CTS) are characterized for the structural, electronic and optical properties using X-ray diffraction, Raman, UV–Vis-NIR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopic techniques, and density functional theory. It is observed that thin-film samples annealed at low temperature have a metastable tetragonal structure, whereas the films annealed at 450 °C have a predominant stable monoclinic phase. A direct band gap of 1.1 eV, measured from the transmittance spectra, in close agreement with the theoretical band gap value of 0.89 eV obtained from density functional theory calculations. Optical properties reveal that CTS has a large absorption coefficient ~0.5 × 104 cm?1 at 1.5 eV which is comparable to other CuS based materials like CuInS2 and Cu2ZnSnS4. The direct band gap and large absorption coefficient make CTS as one of the potential alternative absorber materials for thin-film solar cell applications.

Electroresistance of Pt/BaTiO<sub>3</sub>/LaNiO<sub>3</sub> ferroelectric tunnel junctions and its dependence on BaTiO<sub>3</sub> thickness
摘要： Recently, ferroelectric tunnel junctions (FTJs) have attracted considerable attention due to their great potential in next generation non-volatile memories. In this work, we report on thickness-dependent tunneling electroresistance (TER) and corresponding evolution of transport behavior in Pt/BaTiO3/LaNiO3 FTJs with various BaTiO3 thicknesses of 2.0, 3.2, and 4.8 nm. The TER effect is observed in the 3.2 nm-thick Pt/BaTiO3/LaNiO3 tunnel junction and an ON/OFF current ratio of ~170 is achieved due to the modulation of barrier height by polarization reversal. When the BaTiO3 is increased to 4.8 nm in thickness, the ferroelectric-modulation of the barrier profile becomes more pronounced and the dominant transport mechanism changes from electron tunneling to thermally-activated thermionic injection. As a result, the OFF state current is significantly reduced due to the suppression of the Fowler-Nordheim tunneling with increased width and height of the BaTiO3 barrier. A greatly improved ON/OFF current ratio of ~12500 is thus achieved in the 4.8 nm-thick Pt/BaTiO3/LaNiO3 FTJ device. These results facilitate deeper understanding of the TER effects from the viewpoint of not only the barrier profile but also the transport mechanism.

Oxynitride Thin Films versus Particle-Based Photoanodes: a Comparative Study for Photoelectrochemical Solar Water Splitting
摘要： The solar water splitting process assisted by semiconductor photocatalysts attracts growing research interests worldwide for the production of hydrogen as a clean and sustainable energy carrier. Due to their optical and electrical properties several oxynitride materials show great promise for the fabrication of efficient photocatalysts for solar water splitting. This study reports a comparative investigation of particle- and thin films-based photocatalysts using three different oxynitride materials. The absolute comparison of the photoelectrochemical activities favors the particle-based electrodes due to the better absorption properties and larger electrochemical surface area. However, thin films surpass the particle-based photoelectrodes due to their more suitable morphological features that improve the separation and mobility of the photo-generated charge carriers. Our analysis identifies what specific insights into the properties of materials can be achieved with the two complementary approaches.

Characterisation of AlN nano thin films prepared by PLD
摘要： Aluminium nitride (AlN) nano thin films have been prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) in this paper. The microstructure and grain size of the nano thin films were characterised by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that the PLD conditions such as laser fluence, ambient pressure and substrate temperature influence the thickness, morphology and grain size of the nano thin films obviously, i.e. the surface of the nano thin films becomes rough while the grain size increases with increasing the laser fluence, ambient pressure and substrate temperature. In addition, there exists a preferred orientation growth in the thin films.

Pulsed laser deposition of BaCo0.4Fe0.4Zr0.1Y0.1O3-δ cathode for solid oxide fuel cells
摘要： We herein report a thin film deposition of perovskite BaCo0.4Fe0.4Zr0.1Y0.1O3-δ (BCFZY) by pulsed laser depositing (PLD) method for the use as a cathode in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The BCFZY powder was first synthesized via sol-gel method and pelletized to use it as a target in PLD system. As a result, the PLD-deposited thin film showed nano-porous morphology, preferred nano-architecture for cathode in SOFCs, without generating or transforming to secondary phase. The applicability of the thin film BCFZY to SOFC cathode was even confirmed by fabricating an SOFC with BCFZY cathode and operating it at 500 °C, where stable open-circuit voltage of 1.13 V was measured for an hour.

The Growth Window of Ferroelectric Epitaxial Hf <sub/>0.5</sub> Zr <sub/>0.5</sub> O <sub/>2</sub> Thin Films
摘要： The metastable orthorhombic phase of hafnia is generally obtained in polycrystalline films, whereas in epitaxial films its formation has been much less investigated. We have grown Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 films by pulsed laser deposition and the growth window (temperature and oxygen pressure during deposition, and film thickness) for epitaxial stabilization of the ferroelectric phase is mapped. The remnant ferroelectric polarization, up to around 24 μC/cm2, depends on the amount of orthorhombic phase and strain, and increases with temperature and pressure for fixed film thickness. Leakage current decreases by increasing thickness and temperature, and particularly by reducing oxygen pressure. The coercive electric field (EC) depends on thickness (t) according the EC - t-2/3 scaling, which is observed by the first time in ferroelectric hafnia, and the scaling extends to thickness below 5 nm. The proven ability to tailor functional properties of high quality epitaxial ferroelectric Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 films paves the way towards progress in understanding their ferroelectric properties and prototyping devices.
