Specifically, we compared p-Si targets with two different surface orientations, (001) and (111). We found that the activation temperature depended on the crystallographic orientation of the B-doped p-Si target and B impurities began to be activated at a growth temperature of 680 °C when using the p-Si(111) target and at 560 °C, which is 120 °C lower, when using the p-Si(001) target. This phenomenon is discussed in this paper in terms of the difference in the level of crystallographic plane matching between the growth and target surfaces and the associated energetic barrier to B-atom activation. The case of P-doped Si (n-Si) was also compared, which showed no indication of target crystallographic orientation dependence, when comparing n-Si(001) and n-Si(111) targets, and the P activation began at around 250 °C. These findings are considered associated with P being more easily incorporated into Si lattice than B. The hole Hall scattering factors and estimated drift mobilities obtained with the p-Si(111) target were comparable to previously reported values, whereas those obtained with the p-Si(001) target were 0.17 and 15–23 % lower, respectively, suggesting that the p-Si layers grown using the p-Si(001) target had slightly more defects, possibly owing to lower growth temperatures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":353,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Crystal Growth","volume":"654 ","pages":"Article 128092"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143268977","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}

This includes estimates of the temperature gradient and supercooling at the columnar and eutectic front in combination with thermal modelling, as well as evaluation of a characteristic dendrite spacing. The results complement ground-based and other short-duration microgravity experiments in the same compositional range of the alloy. For eutectic growth, the undercooling increases linearly with cooling-rate. For columnar dendritic growth, the comparison of the kinetic law with previous experimental results exhibits similar trends but also significant deviations, which may be attributed to the different experimental set-up, data analysis and accuracy of temperature prediction.

The efficacy of this method in the efficient removal of multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms and deleterious dyes from effluent treatment for the purpose of environmental remediation is highly promising. The present study introduces novel zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) that are made using <em>Annona reticulata</em> fruit extract as a reducing agent in a green production method. We employed UV–Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) to analyse the ARF-ZnONPs that were generated through biosynthesis. The antibacterial effects of green synthesised ARF-ZnONPs were evaluated against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. In addition, the degradation of azo dyes (methylene blue and reactive red 120) was measured under direct sunlight exposure. The ARF-ZnONPs were obtained with an absorption peak maximum at 369 nm, as evidenced by the UV–Vis spectrum. According to the research, the nucleation and stability of ARF-ZnONPs are influenced by phenolic compounds, alkaloids, terpenoids, and proteins present in the fruit extract of <em>A. reticulata</em>, as demonstrated by FT-IR analysis. A hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure is demonstrated in the XRD pattern of ARF-ZnONPs, with an average particle size of approximately 52 nm. The EDX spectrum verified the presence of the element Zn, and the FE-SEM image featured a hexagonal architecture. Against <em>S. aureus</em>, the maximum area of inhibition was 21.23 ± 0.35 mm, while against <em>P. aeruginosa</em>, it was 19.34 ± 0.26 mm. The degradation of azo dyes (MB and RR 120) was measured under direct sunlight exposure to evaluate the photocatalytic efficiency of ARF-ZnONPs. Thus, the aforementioned findings indicate that the ARF-ZnONPs synthesised using the environmentally benign method can be employed for a diverse array of antibacterial and environmental applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":353,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Crystal Growth","volume":"654 ","pages":"Article 128087"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143348965","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}
