We report the growth of molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) nanoribbons (NRs) on epitaxial Ag and oriented Au nanostructures (NSs) using an ultra-high vacuum (UHV)-molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) technique at different substrate temperatures. An approximately 2 nm silver (Ag) film has been deposited at different growth temperatures (using UHV-MBE) on cleaned Si(100), Si(110), and Si(111) substrates. For faceted Au NSs, an approximately 50 nm Au film has been deposited (using high-vacuum thermal evaporation) on a Si(100) substrate with a native oxide layer at the interface and the sample was annealed in low vacuum (≈10-2) and at high temperature (≈975°C). Scanning electron microscopy measurements were performed to determine the morphology of MoO3/Ag and MoO3/Au composite films. From energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy elemental mapping and line scans it is found that faceted Au NSs are more favorable for the growth of MoO3 NRs than epitaxial Ag microstructures.
我们报道了使用超高真空(UHV)-分子束外延(MBE)技术在不同衬底温度下,在外延银和取向金纳米结构(NSs)上生长三氧化钼(MoO₃)纳米带(NRs)的情况。已在不同生长温度下(使用UHV-MBE)在清洁的Si(100)、Si(110)和Si(111)衬底上沉积了约2 nm的银(Ag)膜。对于刻面金纳米结构,已在具有界面处自然氧化层的Si(100)衬底上沉积了约50 nm的金膜(使用高真空热蒸发),并且样品在低真空(≈10⁻²)和高温(≈975°C)下进行了退火。进行扫描电子显微镜测量以确定MoO₃/Ag和MoO₃/Au复合膜的形态。从能量色散X射线光谱元素映射和线扫描发现,刻面金纳米结构比外延银微结构更有利于MoO₃纳米带生长。
