Prior to deposition, the Ti/Al2O3 substrates were ground with Fe-doped SiO2 powder. The nano-structure of the deposited films was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Raman spectroscopy. The field electron emission characteristics of the chain-like carbon nanotube films were measured under the vacuum of 10-5 Pa. The low turn-on field of 0.80 V/μm and the emission current density of 8.5 mA/cm2 at the electric field of 3.0 V/μm are obtained. Based on the above results, chain-like carbon nanotube films probably have important applications in cold cathode materials and electrode materials.展开更多

The effects of surfactant and reducing agent on the morphology and size of the CoNi chains are studied, and a possible growth mechanism for the CoNi chains is proposed. The CoNi chains show ferromagnetic characteristics with a similarly small saturation magnetization of 104.1 emu/g and a larger coercivity of 150 Oe at room temperature compared to the monodispersed CoNi submicrospheres of 105 emu/g and 34 Oe as a result of the increased shape anisotropy.展开更多

Microwave sintering was conducted in a multimode microwave cavity with TE666 resonant mode at 2.45 GHz. Carbon particles were used to activate unique thermal processes when mixed with ZrO2 precursor. The sintering condition was at 1300℃ for 10 min. Samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM techniques. It was found that both monolithic and tetragonal ZrO2 co-existed in samples prepared from the mixture of ZrO2 precursors and carbon by either microwave or conventional sintering. Only m-ZrO2 exists in samples prepared by ZrO2 precursors without carbon. ZrO2 appeared as chain-like nanofibers, which might be attributed to a so- called carbon-induced self-assembly growth mechanism.展开更多
