    摘要: A method of synthesizing and controlling the internal diameters, conical angles, and morphology of tubular carbon nano/micro structures. Different morphologies can be synthesized included but not limited to cones, straight tubes, nozzles, cone-on-tube (funnels), tube-on-cone, cone-tube-cone, n-staged structures, multijunctioned tubes, Y-junctions, dumbbell (pinched morphology) and capsules. The process is based on changing the wetting behavior of a low melting metals such as gallium, indium, and aluminum with carbon using a growth environment of different gas phase chemistries. The described carbon tubular morphologies can be synthesized using any kind of gas phase excitation such as, but not limited to, microwave excitation, hot filament excitation, thermal excitation and Radio Frequency (RF) excitations. The depositions area is only limited by the substrate area in the equipment used and not limited by the process. The internal diameters of the carbon tubular structures can be varied from a few nm to as high as about 20 microns. The wall thickness is about 10-20 nm. The carbon tubular structures can be formed open on both ends are directly applicable to micro-fluidics. Gallium required for the growth of the carbon tubes can be supplied either as a thin film on the substrate or could be supplied through the gas phase with different precursors such as Tri-methyl gallium. Seamless Y-junctions with no internal obstructions can be synthesized without the need of templates. Multi-channeled junctions can also be synthesized without any internal obstructions. Gallium that partially fills the carbon structures can be removed from the tubes by simple heating in vacuum at temperature above 600°.

    摘要: The bulk synthesis of highly crystalline noncatalytic low melting metals such as β-gallium oxide tubes, nanowires, and nanopaintbrushes is accomplished using molten gallium and microwave plasma containing a mixture of monoatomic oxygen and hydrogen. Gallium oxide nanowires were 20–100 nm thick and tens to hundreds of microns long. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed the nanowires to be highly crystalline and devoid of any structural defects. Results showed that multiple nucleation and growth of gallium oxide nanostructures can occur directly out of molten gallium exposed to appropriate composition of hydrogen and oxygen in the gas phase. These gallium oxide nanostructures are of particular interest for opto-electronic devices and catalytic applications.

The reactor includes a metal powder delivery system wherein the metal powder delivery system includes a funnel in communication with a dielectric tube; a plasma-forming gas inlet, whereby a plasma-forming gas is delivered substantially longitudinally into the dielectric tube; a sheath gas inlet, whereby a sheath gas is delivered into the dielectric tube; and a microwave energy generator coupled to the dielectric tube, whereby microwave energy is delivered into a plasma-forming gas. The method for producing nanostructures includes delivering a plasma-forming gas substantially longitudinally into a dielectric tube; delivering a sheath gas into the tube; forming a plasma from the plasma-forming gas by applying microwave energy to the plasma-forming gas; delivering a metal powder into the dielectric tube; and reacting the metal powder within the plasma to form metal oxide nanostructures.

    摘要: A process is provided to produce bulk quantities of nanowires in a variety of semiconductor materials. Thin films and droplets of low-melting metals such as gallium, indium, bismuth, and aluminum are used to dissolve and to produce nanowires. The dissolution of solutes can be achieved by using a solid source of solute and low-melting metal, or using a vapor phase source of solute and low-melting metal. The resulting nanowires range in size from 1 nanometer up to 1 micron in diameter and lengths ranging from 1 nanometer to several hundred nanometers or microns. This process does not require the use of metals such as gold and iron in the form of clusters whose size determines the resulting nanowire size. In addition, the process allows for a lower growth temperature, better control over size and size distribution, and better control over the composition and purity of the nanowire produced therefrom.
