Nanotechnology: 'buckypaper' from coaxial nanotubes

Double-walled carbon nanotubes are needed in a pure, highly crystalline form before features such as their electronic properties, thermal transport and mechanical behaviour can be investigated. Here we fabricate a paper-like material that consists of hexagonally packed bundles of clean, coaxial carbon nanotubes whose double walls vary little in diameter; it is prepared in high yields using chemical-vapour deposition with a conditioning catalyst and two-step purification. Our results will enable investigation of the physical properties of double-walled carbon nanotubes, which are predicted to be superior to those of both their single- and multiwalled relatives.     

Thin films: unexpected magnetism in a dielectric oxide

It is generally accepted that magnetic order in an insulator requires the cation to have partially filled shells of d or f electrons. Here we show that thin films of hafnium dioxide (HfO2), an insulating oxide better known as a dielectric layer for nanoscale electronic devices, can be ferromagnetic even without doping. This discovery challenges our understanding of magnetism in insulators, because neither Hf4+ nor O2- are magnetic ions and the d and f shells of the Hf4+ ion are either empty or full.

Thin films of porphyrinperylene molecular array fabricated by electrophoresis methodology

Porphyrin-perylene dyad molecular arrays are impor-tant building blocks for mimic photosynthetic systems and molecular opto-electronics such as molecular wires, logic gates and molecular switches. In recent years, Wasielewski’s group[1―3] and Bocian and Lindsey’s group[4―7] have systematically investigated the electronic structure, the mechanism of transient photoinduced charge and/or energy transfer in a few representative porphyrin- perylene arrays, the acquired results threw light on th…

玻璃陶瓷基板上铜薄膜的化学气相沉积

使用低介电常数基板和高电导率、高抗电迁移的金属Cu进行布线,可以提高高密度电子封装的传输速度和可靠性。采用乙酰丙酮铜作为前驱体,在常压下利用化学气相沉积技术对玻璃陶瓷基板进行Cu薄膜金属化。利用热重分析、X射线衍射和扫描电子显微镜等技术对前驱体、Cu薄膜进行分析观察。结果表明:影响Cu导体的电阻的主要因素是沉积温度。在温度为290～310℃,N2气流量为200～350mL/min和H2气流量为450～600mL/min的条件下,获得了致密的Cu薄膜,Cu导体方块电阻为25mΩ。
