    Sr3YCo4-xMgxO10.5+δ(0≤x≤0.04) polycrystalline samples were prepared by solid state reaction method.The Mg doping effects on the crystal structure, electrical transport property and thermopower were studied.The results of crystal structure indicate that Sr3YCo4-xMgxO10.5+δ is tetragonal structure.Due to Mg2+(0.066 nm) partly substitude Co3+/4+(0.053 nm/0.061 nm), and the Mg doping enlarge the lattice parameters.The Seebeck coefficient measurement at 340~830 K shows that the thermopower decreases with increasing temperature, and Mg doping does not much affect the thermopower and carrier concentration.The resistivity measurement at 100~300 K shows that the resistivity decreases with increasing temperature and resistivity decreases with increasing Mg content.Scanning electron microscope results show that the number of pores decreases and grains connect closely.Combining the results of scanning electron microscope and thermopower indicate that the main effects of Mg doping impact on the electrical transport property are weaken the scattering of pores and grain boundaries, and improve the carrier mobility.The effects of carrier concentration is secondary.

    InGaN/GaN MQWs were grown on sapphire(Al2O3) substrates by Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition(MOCVD).The influence of TMIn flow on the alloy content, crystal quality and optical properties of InGaN/GaN MQWs were investigated by adjusting the TMIn flow in epitaxial growth process.Structural and optical properties of MQWs were characterized by high-resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and photoluminescence (PL).HRXRD shows that with the increase of TMIn flow, the angle between the "0" peak and the GaN peak deviates from each other, and more In is incorporated into the film.HRXRD and AFM shows that with the increasing of TMIn flow, the density of dislocation and V-pits increases, and the crystal quality severely deteriorate.It is also found that the weaker PL intensity and larger FWHM value are presented with increasing TMIn fiow, which could be attributed to the deterioration of the crystal quality confirmed by HRXRD and AFM results.Thus, the structual and optical properties of InGaN/GaN MQWs are strongly affected by the TMIn flow.

    Nano HZSM-5 crystal was synthesized directly by microwave-assisted hydrothermal route.The obtained products were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM, BET and NH3-TPD techniques, and the effect of various crystallization temperatures and time on the crystal properties of HZSM-5 were investigated.The results indicate that crystallization temperature and time has significant impact on the micromorphology, crystal size and dispersibility of the synthesized products.HZSM-5 crystals with regular morphology are hard to form at lower crystallization temperature or shorter crystallization time.As crystallization temperature increases, the synthetic sample gradually changes into spherical grains, the grain size increases and the degree of dispersion improved.When the crystallization temperature increases to 180 ℃, the grain size became larger and the specific surface area decreases slightly.With the extension of the crystallization time, the micropores, mesopores, specific surface area and pore volume of the samples increases.When the crystallization time was further prolonged, the possible shrinkage of the micropores in the crystal and the growth of the grains made the pore volume and specific surface area of the sample decrease.The HZSM-5 molecular sieve crystals with spherical crystal size about 60 nm and excellent dispersibility was synthesized at 160 ℃ for 1.5 h by microwave hydrothermal route, and the obtained HZSM-5 possessed distinct physicochemical properties including high specific surface area of 398.45 m2·g-1, pore volume of 0.63 cm3·g-1, average pore diameter of 6.27 nm and the weak acidity on the surface of crystal.

    Different Zn(O,S) thin films were prepared with various magnetron sputtering (MS) power and applied to the CIGS heterojunction solar cell, the Zn(O,S) thin films were investigated by XRD, XRF, profilometer, ultraviolet-visible-near infrared spectrophotometer, moreover, the analysis of MS-Zn(O,S)/CIGS heterojunction devices were completed by scanning electron microscope and wxAMPS simulation software.The results show that, the sulfur content within Zn(O,S) thin film and the optical band gap decreases significantly with lower sputtering power (<80 W).Meanwhile, α-ZnS generated in the amorphous or nano-crystalline Zn(O,S) thin film.With a higher sputtering power (>100 W), the sulfur content and optical band gap will increase and then become stable, moreover, α-ZnS can be removed within significant increased crystallization of Zn(O,S) thin film.According to the simulated results, the degradation of MS-Zn(O,S)/CIGS devices prepared under lower sputtering power (<80 W) are due to high offset between buffer layer and absorber layer which can lead to high recombination in SCR, while the degradation of the devices prepared under higher sputtering power (>100 W) are due to the high acceptor-like defect density at the interface of MS-Zn(O,S)/CIGS heterojunction which is induced by plasma bombing with higher sputtering power.

    Hexagonal graphene domains were synthesized on polished Cu substrate by chemical vapor deposition(CVD), and were etched with oxygen.After etching, reticular and short-line trenches were observed on the graphene domains as the result of etching on the wrinkles, and the density of trenches has great difference.The morphology and density of wrinkles were closely associated with the Cu crystal orientation indicated by the electron back-scattered diffraction.A different Cu crystal orientation led to variations in the morphology and density of wrinkles.The etching temperature has greater influence on the oxygen etching of graphene, and the etching rate increased obviously when the etching temperature exceed 250 ℃.The simple oxygen etching technology might be a convenient way to detect the distribution and morphology of wrinkles.

    Since 2004, graphene have been under extensive investigation due to its excellent optical and electrical properties.But its applications were limited greatly because of the characteristics of the zero band gap.Monolayer VIB transition metal sulfide (TMDs) is a class of ideal two-dimensional direct band gap semiconductor,which has crystal structure analogues of graphene and controllable band structure.TMDs not only can be used to explore some other fundamental and advanced physical issues such as valley polarization, but also can be widely used in nanodevices, optoelectronics and photocatalysis.In recent years, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology is a more effective method to grow TMDs compared to traditional chemical synthesis or physical exfoliation.CVD can be used to synthesize a large area of continuous, uniform thickness and high crystal quality monolayer TMDs.Therefore, this review focuses on the recent progress of monolayer TMDs CVD growth technology.The influence of process parameters,such as the reaction temperature, the composition of carrier gas, the variable substrate and the precursor-substrate distance,to the growth and properties of monolayer TMDs were discussed also.Finally, it also prospects some available ways for realizing the control of the monolayer TMDs size, the coverage and thickness uniformity by using CVD technology.
