ZnO nanobelts are synthesized in high yield by a simple chemical vapor deposition method, at low temperature. And then Au nanoparticles are sputtered on the ZnO nanobelts. The effect on the photoluminescence of Au-ZnO composite nanobelts by surface plasmon is systematically investigated by the scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and photoluminescence spectrum. The enhancement ratio by surface plasmon resonance and the almost completely suppressed defect emission for Au-ZnO composite nanobelts are observed, and the emission enhancement ratio η of Au-ZnO composite nanobelts reaches a maximal value of 85-fold. Additionally, the photoluminescence mechanism is proposed in terms of the scattering and absorption by Au nanoparticles, the Purcell enhancement factor, and the Ostwald ripening.
Based on the Landau-Khalatnikov equation of motion, the switching dynamic behaviors, (including the average polarization, switching time, switching current and coercive field) of a ferroelectric bilayer film with a surface transition layer within each constituent thin film and a ferroelectric interfacial coupling between two thin films have been investigated. Results reveal that there is a competitive mechanism in the bilayer film, the action of surface transition layer and the interfacial coupling. The abnormal behavior is discovered in the polarization reversal process of the bilayer film, which can be attributed to the competition between the surface transition layer and the interfacial coupling. The combined action of surface transition layer and interfacial coupling plays a decisive role on the dynamic properties of a ferroelectric bilayer film.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
