本論文研究主要是以熱蒸鍍法製備單晶二氧化鈦奈米線與奈米柱,二氧化鈦奈米結構材料擁有獨特的電子、光學和機械特性之潛在應用,因此最近幾年有關二氧化鈦奈米結構如:奈米線、奈米柱與奈米粒子被廣泛的研究。本論文所製備之奈米結構材料,其內容涵蓋:二階段熱蒸鍍法合成二氧化鈦奈米線;氮氣混入法進行摻雜氮原子對二氧化鈦奈米線所造成之影響;二氧化鈦界面輔助層合成單晶奈米線以及奈米結構之各項光電性質鑑定。
利用二階段式成長與二氧化鈦輔助層之熱蒸鍍法,二氧化鈦奈米線被成功地合成並且達成選區成長。對於二氧化鈦塊材與奈米線在陰極與光激光之特性光譜上,我們發現二氧化鈦之塊材呈現不發光現象。相反地,二氧化鈦單晶奈米線由於尺寸效應而具有藍位移之發光行為,此乃驗證單晶的特性造就其本質之發光行為。在摻雜氮原子進入二氧化鈦奈米線,吾人發現其光譜產生了紅位移之行為,紅位移現象也驗證了二氧化鈦奈米線之能帶縮小了。經由我們設計的合成方法,奈米線之結晶性質與比表面積均有明顯被改善,因此在光觸媒的應用分析上也顯著被提昇。在高倍率穿透式電子顯微鏡上發現二氧化鈦奈米線屬於單晶結構並延著[110]之熱力穩定方向成長。在利用摻雜金元素之二氧化鈦層,吾人測得二氧化鈦奈米線之電子場發射特性,其起始電場在5.7 V/μm時可得到電流密度10 μA/cm2。
更重要地,對於氣相沉積法合成單晶二氧化鈦奈米線之成長機制在本論文中被徹底探討,對於本論文之研究成果將是值得進一步拓展於奈米元件之應用。
Single crystalline TiO2 nanowires/nanorods were synthesized by radio frequency plasma enhanced physical vapor deposition (PVD). TiO2 nanostructured materials often have unusual electronic, optical and mechanical properties as well as a wide range of potential applications. This study encompasses: two-step thermal evaporation for growing TiO2 nanowires; incorporation of nitrogen (N) to the TiO2 during the growth and substrate effect of the TiO2 for the growth of the TiO2 nanowires; performance characterization in TiO2 nanostructures.
The TiO2 layer and two-step thermal evaporation process were developed to grow the TiO2 nanwires. Accordingly, the selected-area growth of TiO2 nanowires was achieved. Both cathodoluminescence (CL) and photoluminescence (PL) indicated that TiO2 nanowires exhibit a blue shift of the emission peak owing to the size effect. Conversely, bulk TiO2 exhibited no luminescence. The nanowires exhibited luminescence, which was associated with their good crystallinity. The N-doped TiO2 nanowires was shown a red shift effect under CL examined. The red shift demonstrated that doping with nitrogen narrowed the band gap of TiO2 nanowires. The high photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanowires can be obtained by increasing the specific surface area of nanowires and by improving their crystallinity. The high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) demonstrated that the nanowires are grown along the [110] axis, which is the most thermodynamically stable direction and to form the single crystalline TiO2. The Au-doped TiO2 layer enables to increase the electric conductivity. The electron field-emission properties of TiO2 nanowires are for the first time to be correlated by the Folwer-Nordheim (F-N) theory. A low turn-on field was thus found to be ~ 5.7 V/µm at a current density of 10 μA/cm2.
More importantly, a mechanism of utilizing the vapor phase deposition for the synthesis of single crystalline TiO2 nanowires have been addressed throughout this work. It would be exciting to enlarge the current investigation into the studies of the nanodvice fabrication in the near future.
