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.

Electrochromic Properties of Nanostructured WO <sub/>3</sub> Thin Films Deposited by Glancing‐Angle Magnetron Sputtering
摘要： Tungsten oxide thin films are prepared by glancing-angle reactive magnetron sputtering at room temperature. The surface and cross-section morphologies are characterized by FE-SEM and TEM. The electrochromic properties of the thin films are studied using a three-electrode system in 1 m LiClO4/PC solution. When the glancing angle is kept at 80°, a nanocolumnar structured film is obtained. This nanocolumnar structured film shows a lower driving potential and better stability compared to the dense film. The charge capacity per unit area of the nanocolumnar structured film is determined to be 30.85 mc cm?2. The diffusion rates of injection and detachment of ions are determined to be Din = 6.57 × 10?10 cm2 s?1 and Dde = 6.55 × 10?10 cm2 s?1 under an applied potential of ±1.2 V, respectively. The optical modulation amplitude of the nanocolumnar structured film reaches 65% at a wavelength of 600 nm and the optical density is superior to that of the dense film.

Development of a Protein Microarray Chip with Enhanced Fluorescence for Identification of Semen and Vaginal Fluid
摘要： The detection of body ?uids has been used to identify a suspect and build a criminal case. As the amount of evidence collected at a crime site is limited, a multiplex identi?cation system for body ?uids using a small amount of sample is required. In this study, we proposed a multiplex detection platform using an Ag vertical nanorod metal enhanced ?uorescence (MEF) substrate for semen and vaginal ?uid (VF), which are important evidence in cases of sexual crime. The Ag nanorod MEF substrate with a length of 500 nm was fabricated by glancing angle deposition, and amino functionalization was conducted to improve binding ability. The effect of incubation time was analyzed, and an incubation time of 60 min was selected, at which the ?uorescence signal was saturated. To assess the performance of the developed identi?cation chip, the identi?cation of semen and VF was carried out. The developed sensor could selectively identify semen and VF without any cross-reactivity. The limit of detection of the fabricated microarray chip was 10 times better than the commercially available rapid stain identi?cation (RSID) Semen kit.

Improved performance of small molecule organic solar cells by incorporation of a glancing angle deposited donor layer
摘要： improving the photovoltaic performance directly by innovative device architectures contributes much progress in the field of organic solar cells. Photovoltaic device using different kinds of heterojunction with the given set of organic semiconductors paves the way to a better understanding of the working mechanism of organic heterojunction. Here, we report on the fabrication of a new device structure without employing extra material. A thin film of the donor material (chloroaluminum phthalocyanine (ClAlPc)) is inserted between ClAlPc:C60 bulk heterojunction (BHJ) and C60 layer by glancing angle deposition. A ClAlPc/C60 planar heterojunction co-exists with ClAlPc:C60 BHJ simultaneously in this device. Higher efficiency is obtained with this novel device structure. The effects of this additional ClAlPc layer on open-circuit voltage and fill factor in photovoltaic cells are studied. This work provides a new route to improve the device performance of organic solar cells.

Tunable Plasmonic Resonances in TiN Nanorod Arrays
摘要： In this work, titanium nitride (TiN) nanorod arrays were fabricated using glancing angle deposition in a magnetron sputtering system. The deposition parameters, including the bias on the substrate and the flow rate of nitrogen, were varied to deposit various TiN nanorod arrays. Before glancing angle deposition was conducted, uniform TiN films were deposited and their permittivity spectra, for various deposition parameters, were obtained. The effect of the deposition parameters on the morphology of the nanorods is analyzed here. The polarization-dependent extinctance spectra of TiN nanorod arrays were measured and compared. Extinction, which corresponds to the longitudinal mode of localized surface plasmon resonance, can be significantly changed by tuning the N2 flow rate and substrate bias voltage during deposition.

Antireflection Coatings with Graded Refractive Index of Indium Tin Oxide for Si-based Solar Cells
摘要： The glancing angle deposition (GLAD) technique for fabricating an antire?ection (AR) structure with graded refractive index was applied to silicon substrate by using indium tin oxide (ITO) combining the sputtering method with the evaporation method. In spite of the very limited refractive index pro?le of ITO compared to that of the silicon substrate, the designed AR coatings at wavelengths from near infrared to near ultraviolet showed a re?ectance of only 5.31% at an incident angle of 30? while the transmittance of the ITO AR layer showed a sharp decrease near a wavelength of 400 nm. From these analyses, ITO multilayered AR coatings fabricated by using the GLAD method should improve the performance of an optical device after post-annealing at a low temperature of 160 ?C. When the ITO AR coatings were applied to actual silicon solar cells, it appears that a non-grid electrode cell with ITO AR coatings is possible compared with insulator AR coatings with metal grid electrodes

Transition from discrete patches to plasmonic nanohole array by glancing angle deposition on nanosphere monolayers
摘要： By combining nanosphere lithography and glancing angle deposition, a morphological transition from disconnected patchy silver (Ag) coated nanosphere particles to a connected Ag nanohole sheet on close-packed nanosphere monolayers has been demonstrated, which significantly changes the optical property of the Ag nanostructure deposited. For different sized nanosphere monolayers, when the vapor incident angle was set to be 55o, the transmission spectra showed complicated features when the Ag deposition thickness was less than 60 nm. When the thickness was large enough (> 60 nm), a distinguished extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) peak was observed. The EOT peak wavelength position is independent of the Ag thickness deposited and is proportional to the nanosphere diameter. The obtained EOT peaks possess a high quality factor and have high transmission values compared to those reported in the literature for similar structures. Such a high quality EOT response could be used for constructing better sensors or developing other plasmonic applications.

Rear‐Passivated Ultrathin Cu(In,Ga)Se <sub/>2</sub> Films by Al <sub/>2</sub> O <sub/>3</sub> Nanostructures Using Glancing Angle Deposition Toward Photovoltaic Devices with Enhanced Efficiency
摘要： In this work, for the first time, the addition of aluminum oxide nanostructures (Al2O3 NSs) grown by glancing angle deposition (GLAD) is investigated on an ultrathin Cu(In,Ga)Se2 device (400 nm) fabricated using a sequential process, i.e., post-selenization of the metallic precursor layer. The most striking observation to emerge from this study is the alleviation of phase separation after adding the Al2O3 NSs with improved Se diffusion into the non-uniformed metallic precursor due to the surface roughness resulting from the Al2O3 NSs. In addition, the raised Na concentration at the rear surface can be attributed to the increased diffusion of Na ion facilitated by Al2O3 NSs. The coverage and thickness of the Al2O3 NSs significantly affects the cell performance because of an increase in shunt resistance associated with the formation of Na2SeX and phase separation. The passivation effect attributed to the Al2O3 NSs is well studied using the bias-EQE measurement and J–V characteristics under dark and illuminated conditions. With the optimization of the Al2O3 NSs, the remarkable enhancement in the cell performance occurs, exhibiting a power conversion efficiency increase from 2.83% to 5.33%, demonstrating a promising method for improving ultrathin Cu(In,Ga)Se2 devices, and providing significant opportunities for further applications.

Arrays of Plasmonic Nanoparticle Dimers with Defined Nanogap Spacers
摘要： Plasmonic molecules are building blocks of metallic nanostructures that give rise to intriguing optical phenomena with similarities to those seen in molecular systems. The ability to design plasmonic hybrid structures and molecules with nanometric resolution would enable applications in optical metamaterials and sensing that presently cannot be demonstrated, because of a lack of suitable fabrication methods allowing the structural control of the plasmonic atoms on a large scale. Here we demonstrate a wafer-scale ‘lithography-free’ parallel fabrication scheme to realize nanogap plasmonic meta-molecules with precise control over their size, shape, material, and orientation. We demonstrate how we can tune the corresponding coupled resonances through the entire visible spectrum. Our fabrication method, based on glancing angle physical vapor deposition with gradient shadowing, permits critical parameters to be varied across the wafer and thus is ideally suited to screen potential structures. We obtain billions of aligned dimer structures with controlled variation of the spectral properties across the wafer. We spectroscopically map the plasmonic resonances of gold dimer structures and show that they are not only in a good agreement with numerically modeled spectra, but also remain functional, at least for a year, in an ambient condition.
