Fabrication and evolution of nanostructure in Al2O3 single crystals by Zn+ ions implantation and thermal annealing
首发时间:2011-11-16
Abstract:(0001) α-Al2O3 single crystals (sapphire) were implanted with Zn+ ions at 60 keV to fluences of 1×1017 and 2×1017 ions/cm2,and were then annealed at different temperatures under oxygen ambient. Transmission electron microscopy and optical absorption spectra were used to investigate the formation of nanostructure and their thermal evolution. Our results clearly show that the evolution of ZnO NPs depends strongly on the annealing temperature and time. Zn nanoparticles could be transformed into ZnO while annealing temperature higher than 600 C. ZnO nanoparticles were formed in the Al2O3 when the sample was annealed at 700 C for 1 h. However, while annealing at 700 C for 2 h, ZnO single-crystal film was formed on the surface of Al2O3. Further increasing annealing temperature to 750 C, polycrystalline ZnO nanoclusters were formed on the surface of the sample instead of ZnO film, and leaving nanovoids band in the implanted region for the sample implanted with higher fluence. All the Zn NPs disappeared and transformed to ZnAl2O4 as the annealing temperature increased to 900 C. PL experiment was performed at room temperature to investigate the optical properties and the quality of formed ZnO on the surface of substrate.

Zn离子注入单晶Al2O3并退火制备ZnO纳米结构
摘要:将能量为60 keV的Zn+注入到[0001]α-Al2O3 单晶 (蓝宝石),注入剂量为 1×1017 ions/cm2 和 2×1017 ions/cm2,然后将样品在氧气氛下不同温度退火。用透射电子显微镜和光吸收谱检测样品中纳米结构的形成与演化。结果显示 ZnO 纳米颗粒的演化与退火温度和时间有关。当退火温度高于600 C时,Zn 纳米颗粒转变成ZnO。将其在700 C退火1小时,形成ZnO 纳米颗粒。当退火时间为2小时,在蓝宝石表面形成了ZnO单晶薄膜。将退火温度提高到750 C, 样品表面形成多晶 ZnO 纳米颗粒,并且在样品的注入区形成纳米洞带。当退火温度达到900 C时所有的Zn纳米颗粒转变成了ZnAl2O4。形成的 ZnO纳米结构的发光性质和质量用光致发光谱进行了检测。
