The X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that TNTs annealed and quenched using liquid nitrogen (N 2 ) exhibited significant dissimilarities in the phase transition and plane dominance, as compared to that of air quenched. It also revealed that the liquid N 2 quenching was capable of suppressing the phase transition of anatase into rutile. Apart from that, the elemental analysis showed that liquid N 2 quenching led to Leidenfrost effect, which had affected the Ti:O ratio of the TNTs significantly. Morphologically, the use of controllable water vapour/N 2 was found to be able to preserve the nanotubular structures, even at the high annealing temperature of 850 °C. From the optical aspect, the bandgap energy of all samples were found to decrease when the annealing temperatures increased, regardless of the annealing and quenching conditions. Particularly, the crystal structure of TNTs was found to exert greater effect on their bandgap energy, as compared to that of crystallite size when the annealing temperatures were varied between 650 °C and 850 °C.","PeriodicalId":14128,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nanotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66786567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For synthesising Ga 2 O 3 thin films, sol-gel spin coating is a simple and cost-efficient method, especially for spin coating on cheap substrate such as silicon (Si) substrate. However, little is known about the spin coating growth of the Ga 2 O 3 thin films on Si substrate. In this paper, special attention was paid to the pre-treatment of the Si substrate and the coated layer prior and post spin coating because the uniformity and the quality of the synthesized films are strongly affected by the surface conditions of the substrate/layer. To access the structural and crystallite quality of the deposited Ga 2 O 3 , X-ray diffraction measurements were carried out and in-depth analyses using Williamson-Hall and size-strain plots methods were performed. The results show that the crystallite size of the spin coated Ga 2 O 3 on Si is not influenced by the micro strain.","PeriodicalId":14128,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nanotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66787142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The structural properties of post-deposition annealed Ga 2 O 3 thin films were characterized using grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD). Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) were employed to attain the three-dimensional surface topographies and morphologies, respectively, for the investigated Ga 2 O 3 thin films. In additional, elemental composition of these thin films were characterized using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and thickness of the investigated Ga 2 O 3 thin films were estimated based on the cross-sectional FESEM images. Current-voltage characteristics of the Ga 2 O 3 thin films subjected to different post-depositional annealing temperatures were also presented in this work.","PeriodicalId":14128,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nanotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66787239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From experimental analysis, decrement growth temperature of p-GaN layer shows improvement trends in term of output power values and turn on voltage values. The optical and structural properties of InGaN/GaN MQW blue LEDs structure were enhanced based on the decrement of photoluminescence (PL) intensity with increasing growth temperature of the p-GaN layer.
