Electrodeposited Ceramic Superlattices

该奖项由探索性研究小额赠款项目资助。重点研究了在室温下从单一水溶液中电沉积五到十纳米调制波长的陶瓷超晶格材料的外延生长。各个层的厚度是通过恒流控制的。用近红外透射谱和镜面反射谱研究了量子限域对光学性质的影响。正在研究的材料包括氧化铊铅氧化物和氧化铊。

This award is funded under the Small Grants for Exploratory Research program. The research emphasizes epitaxial growth of ceramic superlattice materials with five to ten nanometer modulation wavelength by electrodeposition from a single aqueous solution at room temperature. The thicknesses of the individual layers is controlled galvanostatically. The effects of quantum confinement of on the optical properties are being studied by transmission and specular reflectance spectroscopy in the near infrared. Materials being studied include thallium lead oxide and thallium oxide.
