摘要
用注射超声喷雾法将前驱体由针管直接送入超声喷头内, 在石英基板上制备Zn1-xCrxO(x=0.0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05)薄膜。 采用X射线衍射仪、 扫描电子显微镜、 荧光光谱仪、 紫外-可见分光光度计、 振动样品磁强计(VSM)等对薄膜的结构、 光学和磁学性质进行测量。 实验结果表明, 未掺杂的ZnO薄膜为六角纤锌矿结构, 沿着c轴(002)择优取向, 而Cr掺杂抑制了薄膜的c轴择优取向性; 掺杂后的薄膜平均晶粒尺寸均增大, 且当x=3%时, 晶粒尺寸最大, 达31.4 nm。 扫描电镜(SEM)下薄膜呈球形颗粒状, 并且在x=5%下, 薄膜出现了长条状的微观形貌。 Cr掺杂使样品的光致发光谱(PL)发生了很大的变化: 未掺杂的样品的PL谱在378 nm处存在一个紫外发射峰, 对应于550 nm附近还存在一个由于缺陷态引起的绿光发射峰; 掺Cr样品只有在350~550 nm的很宽的范围内存在一个发射峰, 对其进行高斯拟合后, 发现掺Cr量为x=1%, 3%, 5%下样品均存在VZn(锌空位)、 Zni(Zn间隙位)、 V-Zn(带一个电子的锌空位)内部缺陷态, 且当x=3%时, VZn最多。 Cr的掺杂使得薄膜的带隙增大, 并且x=3%时, 禁带宽度最大, 达到3.374 eV。 掺Cr的三个样品均具有室温铁磁性, 且x=3%样品的磁化强度最大, 其与VZn(锌空位)最大相对应, 验证了Cr3+和VZn的缺陷复合体是ZnO∶Cr样品具有稳定的铁磁有序的最有利条件的理论预测。
Abstract
The precursor solution is sent to the ultrasonic nozzle directly through a needle tube to prepare Zn1-xCrxO(x=0, 0.01, 0.03 and 0.05)films on quartz substratesby ultrasonic spray method. The structures, optical and magnetic properties of the films were measured by X-ray diffracmeter(XRD), scanning electron microscope(SEM), fluorescence spectrometer, ultraviolet-visible light detector, vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and so on. The experimental results indicate that, the undopedZnO thin films exhibit the hexagonal wurtzite crystalline structure with a preferential orientation of (002); the Cr doping restrains the preferred orientation of C axis; the average grain sizes of the samples increase withCr doping, and thesize attains the maximum(31.4 nm) when x=3%. The SEMimages show that the Zn1-xCrxO (x=0, 0.01, 0.03 and 0.05) films are grain-like particles. And it exhibits a long strip shape when x=5%. Moreover, the doping of Cr makes the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of Zn1-xCrxO films change evidently. The undoped sample shows an ultraviolet emission peak at 378 nm as well as a defect related green peak at around 550 nm. However, for the doping samples, there is only a wide range of emission peak from 350 to 550 nm. By gaussian fitting, it is found that VZn, Zni and V-Zn defects exist in the Cr doping films, and VZn is largest when x=3%. The band gap increases with the doping of Cr, and reaches the maximum when x=3%. The doping of Cr hasthe band gap of the samples increase, and the band gapreachs themaximum(3.37 eV) when x=3%. Magnetic measured results show that threedoping samples Zn1-xCrxO(x=1%, 3% and 5%) are ferromagnetic at room temperature, and the magnetization of Zn1-xCrxO (x=3%) is the largest, which is corresponding to the most VZn defect. The experimental results also prove the the oretical prediction that the substitutive Cr in the oxidation state of +3 and the neutral Zn vacancy in the ZnO∶Cr sample are the most favorable defect complex to maintain a high stability of ferromagnetic order.
