  • Step unbunching phenomenon on 4H-SiC (0001) surface during hydrogen etching

    　View Summary

    We here report a step unbunching phenomenon, which is the inverse of the phenomenon of step bunching. When a 4H-SiC (0001) surface is annealed at a high temperature, step bunching arises due to the different velocities of the step motion in adjacent steps, resulting in steps with a height of more than several nanometers. We found that the bunched steps, thus, obtained by hydrogen etching in an Ar/H2 atmosphere were “unbunched” into lower height steps when annealed subsequently at lower temperatures. This unbunching phenomenon can be well explained by the consequence of the competition between energetics and kinetics. Our findings provide another approach for the surface smoothing of SiC by hydrogen etching and may give significant insight into the application of SiC power devices and two-dimensional materials growth techniques in general.

  • Control of rotation angles of multilayer graphene on SiC (000 1‾ ) by substrate off-direction and angle

    Ryotaro Sakakibara, Jianfeng Bao, Naoki Hayashi, Takahiro Ito, Hiroki Hibino, Wataru Norimatsu

    Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter   35 ( 38 ) 385001 - 385001  2023.06  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    Abstract

    Graphene on SiC (000$\overline{1}$) tends to grow in multiple layers and does not have a single orientation relation with the SiC substrate. It has been considered impossible to control the rotation angle of multilayer graphene on SiC (000$\overline{1}$). In this study, we grew graphene on off-axis SiC substrates with various off angles from 0° to 8° and investigated their in-plane rotation and electronic structures systematically. As the off angle toward the [11$\overline{2}$0]SiC direction increased, graphene rotated by 30° with respect to SiC became less dominant and instead, graphene rotated by 30 ± 2.5° appeared. We also found that the uniformity of the graphene rotation angle was relatively high on SiC substrates with a small off angle toward the [1$\overline{1}$00]SiC direction. Our results suggest that the step-terrace structure defined by the substrate off-direction and angle plays an important role in the controllability of the rotation angle of graphene.

  • Microscopic mechanism of hydrogen intercalation: On the conversion of the buffer layer on SiC to graphene

    Ryotaro Sakakibara, Wataru Norimatsu

    PHYSICAL REVIEW B   105 ( 23 )  2022.06

    　View Summary

    We report an investigation of the microscopic mechanism of hydrogen penetration and migration in the conversion process of the buffer layer on SiC into quasi-freestanding graphene. By systematically observing the initial stage, we found that hydrogen intercalation initiates locally and simultaneously throughout the terrace, followed by the expansion of the intercalated area, resulting in full graphenization of the buffer layer over the SiC surface. This suggests that hydrogen can penetrate the buffer layer. In addition, we found that the steps on the SiC surface can act as a migration barrier, hindering the migration of hydrogen at the interface across the steps. This series of experimental results provides important insights into the fundamental mechanism of hydrogen intercalation and may help to pave the way toward graphene electronics.

    　View Summary

    Magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene is interesting for its correlated superconducting and insulating states, but samples are typically micrometer-scale. Here, 3 x 5 mm(2) twisted bilayer graphene samples are fabricated, exhibiting a flat band and large bandgap revealed by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy.Magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene, consisting of two graphene layers stacked at a special angle, exhibits superconductivity due to the maximized density of states at the energy of the flat band. Generally, experiments on twisted bilayer graphene have been performed using micrometer-scale samples. Here we report the fabrication of twisted bilayer graphene with an area exceeding 3 x 5 mm(2) by transferring epitaxial graphene onto another epitaxial graphene, and observation of a flat band and large bandgap using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Our results suggest that the substrate potential induces both the asymmetrical doping in large angle twisted bilayer graphene and the electron doped nature of the flat band in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene.

  • Charge/Discharge Reactions via LiPON/Multilayer-Graphene Interfaces without Li+ Desolvation/Solvation Processes

    ACS APPLIED ENERGY MATERIALS   4 ( 10 ) 10442 - 10450  2021.09

    　View Summary

    Li+ desolvation process has been regarded as the rate-limiting process in Li+ insertion reaction with graphite anode in lithium-ion batteries. In contrast, Li+ desolvation process is absent in solid-state batteries. We fabricated thin-film all-solid-state cells by depositing lithium phosphorus oxynitride glass (LiPON) electrolyte onto a multilayer-graphene (MGr) film by RF magnetron sputtering and measured the charge/discharge performance of the cells. It was found that the charge transfer resistance at the LiPON/MGr interface was significantly small, although the LiPON/MGr interface was supposed to have inorganic solid electrolyte interphase resulting from the LiPON reduction decomposition. Consequently, the dominant factor for the overall overpotential was the ohmic loss for LiPON, and hence the capacity retention was still maintained at 60% even at nearly 900C when the LiPON film thickness was 4 mu m.

  • Photoluminescence Enhancement Exceeding 10-Fold from Graphene via an Additional Layer: Photoluminescence from Monolayer and Bilayer Graphene Epitaxially Grown on SiC

    JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C   125 ( 20 ) 11014 - 11022  2021.05

    　View Summary

    Graphene exhibits characteristic optical properties and has garnered significant attention for application in light-emitting devices. Bilayer graphene is expected to be more suitable than monolayer graphene for application because of its strong luminescence owing to weak substrate effects. To further investigate this, we analyze the femtosecond photoluminescence (PL) decay and time-resolved PL spectra of epitaxial monolayer and bilayer graphene on SiC. The bilayer graphene emits longer and more than 10-fold stronger PL compared with the monolayer graphene. The PL decay curves and spectra are analyzed using a three-temperature model. The time evolutions of the carrier temperature and coupling coefficients between the carriers of graphene and each of the phonons of graphene and the substrate are obtained. The carrier temperature in bilayer graphene after femtosecond laser pulse excitation is approximately 120 K higher than that in monolayer graphene under our experimental conditions, thereby explaining the longer and stronger PL from the bilayer graphene. This study demonstrates the superior ability of bilayer graphene as a light-emitting material compared with monolayer graphene and promotes research pertaining to graphene-based light-emitting devices.

  • Structure of quasi-free-standing graphene on the SiC (0001) surface prepared by the rapid cooling method

    Tatsuya Sumi, Kazuki Nagai, Jianfeng Bao, Tomo-o Terasawa, Wataru Norimatsu, Michiko Kusunoki, Yusuke Wakabayashi

    APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS   117 ( 14 )  2020.10

    　View Summary

    A systematic structural study of epitaxial graphene samples on the SiC (0001) surface has been performed by the surface x-ray diffraction method, which is a non-contact technique. For samples with only a buffer layer, one layer graphene, and multilayer graphene, the distances between the buffer layer and the surface Si atoms were found to be 2.3 angstrom. This value is the same as reported values. For quasi-free-standing graphene samples prepared by the rapid cooling method [Bao et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 117, 205501 (2016)], there was no buffer layer and the distance between the quasi-free-standing graphene and the surface Si atoms was 3.5 angstrom, which is significantly shorter than the value in hydrogen-intercalated graphene and slightly longer than the interplane distance in graphite. The Si occupancy deviated from unity within 1nm of the SiC surface. The depth profile of the Si occupancy showed little sample dependence, and it was reproduced by a simple atomistic model based on random hopping of Si atoms.

    　View Summary

    We show that boron-doped epitaxial graphene can be successfully grown by thermal decomposition of a boron carbide thin film, which can also be epitaxially grown on a silicon carbide substrate. The interfaces of B4C on SiC and graphene on B4C had a fixed orientation relation, having a local stable structure with no dangling bonds. The first carbon layer on B4C acts as a buffer layer, and the overlaying carbon layers are graphene. Graphene on B4C was highly boron doped, and the hole concentration could be controlled over a wide range of 2 x 10(13) to 2 x 10(15) cm(-2). Highly boron-doped graphene exhibited a spin-glass behavior, which suggests the presence of local antiferromagnetic ordering in the spin-frustration system. Thermal decomposition of carbides holds the promise of being a technique to obtain a new class of wafer-scale functional epitaxial graphene for various applications.

    　View Summary

    The preparation processes of Co-Cu and Au-Ag electrodeposited films and electroless Au films, using high-density and highly orientated CNTs on a SiC substrate, were investigated. The attachment via electrochemical reduction of PVP to the CNTs/SiC resulted in a hydrophilic CNTs surface the water contact angle reduced from 110 degrees to 70 degrees. After Co-Cu electrodeposition, the D-band shifted to a lower wavenumber, that indicated an increase in the mass number as Co-Cu metals deposited on the CNTS/SiC. However, the morphology of this Co-Cu electrodeposited film was not related to its hydrophilicity. The CNTs worked well as cathode electrodes because of their high conductivity. During the Co-Cu electrodeposition process, high pH and a complex agent were used. This did not affect the nucleation generation rate, however, the diffusion velocity affected the reaction velocity. Meanwhile, the Au-Ag particle sizes formed with a Pt seed layer were smaller than with the CNTs/SiC substrate. The nucleation generation rates were also different since CNTs/SiC conductivity was smaller than that of Pt. The deposition bath constitution was also thought to be connected to the deposition mechanism. Therefore, to obtain small-sized particles, a higher conductivity of CNTs was needed. Lastly, to obtain more precise metal particles, electroless Au deposition was carried out. After oxygen plasma treatment, the oxidized surface and inner CNTs were displaced by deposited Au ions. The deposition of Au, with particle size approximately 5 nm, was confirmed by TEM analysis and EDS mapping. CNTs mixed electrodeposition and electroless deposition of metals were also investigated. It was confirmed that metal nanoparticles enhanced the deposition of well aligned and high-density CNTs/SiC, with a diameter of 5 nm.

    AIP ADVANCES   9 ( 6 )  2019.06

    　View Summary

    Longitudinal strains in epitaxial monolayer graphene (EMG) grown on SiC substrates were evaluated by z-polarization Raman microscopy. Due to the covalent bonds formed at the interface between graphene and the substrate, strong compressive strains were loaded on the EMG, which were sensitively detected by Raman spectroscopy. Our polarization Raman microscope was specially designed for evaluating the longitudinal (z-polarization) strain, as well as the lateral (xy-polarization). Z-polarization Raman microscopy revealed the relationship between the fluctuation of the local strains and the sample morphology in the SiC-graphene through submicron spatial resolution mapping. The amount of strain estimated through Raman shift and its spatial inhomogeneity have critical influence on the mobility of electrons, which are essential for future device applications of EMG.

  • Features and prospects for epitaxial graphene on SiC

    Wataru Norimatsu, Tomo o. Terasawa, Keita Matsuda, Jianfeng Bao, Michiko Kusunoki

    Handbook of Graphene   8   153 - 199  2019.03

    　View Summary

    Epitaxial graphene growth on SiC is the only technique available to obtain wafer-scale single-crystalline graphene directly on the insulating substrate. It is then suitable for electronics applications. Monolayer graphene covers the entire surface of the several millimeters square substrate. The carrier mobility of graphene on SiC increases with decreasing the carrier concentration, and it reaches as high as 46,000 cm2/Vs at 2 K, indicating the essential high quality of graphene on SiC. These features of graphene on SiC lead to possible applications in the field of high-frequency transistors, which are used for communication devices such as cell phones, broadcasting station, communication satellite, and radars. In this chapter, we summarize the basic features of graphene on SiC revealed by atomic force microscopy (AFM), Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), and Hall-effect measurements. We also describe further techniques to improve the electrical properties and the prospects of graphene on SiC.

    　View Summary

    Acceleration of photocarrier relaxation in graphene results in the enhancement of its properties for graphene-based ultrafast optical devices. The acceleration can be achieved by utilizing the relaxation paths outside the graphene to avoid bottlenecks in the graphene for photocarrier relaxation. In this study, we investigate photocarrier relaxation in epitaxial and transferred monolayer graphene on SiC with a buffer layer at room temperature by means of time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. The photoluminescence decay at 0.7 eV in the epitaxial monolayer graphene is faster than that in the transferred monolayer graphene. On the basis of the three-temperature model calculation, it is found that the carrier-phonon interaction with phonons of the buffer layer for the epitaxial monolayer graphene is 3 times stronger than that for the transferred monolayer graphene. This study demonstrates that ultrafast photocarrier relaxation can be achieved in graphene by epitaxial growth.

    　View Summary

    Understanding the electrical contact properties of carbon nanotube (CNT) ends is important to use the high conductance of CNTs in the CNT on-axis direction in applications such as through-silicon via structures. In this study, we experimentally evaluated the contact resistivity between single-/multi-walled CNT ends and a metal nanoprobe using conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM). To validate the measured end contact resistivity, we compared our experimentally determined value with that obtained from numerical calculations and reported values for side contact resistivity. The contact resistivity normalized by the length of the CNT ends was 0.6-2.4 x 10(6) Omega nm for single-walled CNTs. This range is 1-2 orders of magnitude higher than that determined theoretically. The contact resistivity of a single-walled CNT end with metal normalized by the contact area was 2-3 orders of magnitude lower than that reported for the resistivity of a CNT sidewall/metal contact. For multi-walled CNTs, the measured contact resistivity was one order of magnitude higher than that of a CNT forest grown by remote plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, whereas the contact resistivity of a top metal electrode was similar to that obtained for a single-walled CNT forest.

  • Frequency dependent ac transport of films of close-packed carbon nanotube arrays

    A. Endo, S. Katsumoto, K. Matsuda, W. Norimatsu, M. Kusunoki

    Journal of Physics: Conference Series   969 ( 1 )  2018.04  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    We have measured low-Temperature ac impedance of films of closely-packed, highly-Aligned carbon nanotubes prepared by thermal decomposition of silicon carbide wafers. The measurement was performed on films with the thickness (the length of the nanotubes) ranging from 6.5 to 65 nm. We found that the impedance rapidly decreases with the frequency. This can be interpreted as resulting from the electric transport via capacitive coupling between adjacent nanotubes. We also found numbers of sharp spikes superposed on frequency vs. impedance curves, which presumably represent resonant frequencies seen in the calculated conductivity of random capacitance networks. Capacitive coupling between the nanotubes was reduced by the magnetic field perpendicular to the films at 8.2 mK, resulting in the transition from negative to positive magnetoresistance with an increase of the frequency.

    　View Summary

    The synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) within the interlayer space of transparent layered titania nanosheet (TNS) films is investigated. A considerable number of silver ions (approximate to 70% against the cation exchange capacity of the TNS) are intercalated in the TNS films using methyl-viologen-containing TNSs as a precursor. The silver ion (Ag+)-containing TNS films are treated with aqueous sodium tetrahydroborate (NaBH4), resulting in a gradual color change to bright blue. Various structural analyses clearly show that crystalline AgNPs are generated within the interlayer space of the TNSs. The NaBH4-treated films show intense and characteristic near-infrared (NIR) extinction spectra up to 1800 nm. The tability of the AgNPs within the TNS against oxygen and moisture is also investigated, and 96% and 82% of the AgNPs remain after standing in air for 1 month and 1 year, respectively. The NIR extinctions of the AgNP-containing TNS films are further extended by employing different preparation procedures, for example, using sintered TNS films as starting materials and irradiating the Ag+-containing TNSs with ultraviolet (UV) light. The obtained AgNP-containing TNS films exhibit photochemical activities in the production of hydrogen from ammonia borane under visible-light irradiation and the decomposition of nitrogen monoxide under UV-light irradiation.

  • Selective fabrication of free-standing ABA and ABC trilayer graphene with/without Dirac-cone energy bands

    Katsuaki Sugawara, Norifumi Yamamura, Keita Matsuda, Wataru Norimatsu, Michiko Kusunoki, Takafumi Sato, Takashi Takahashi

    NPG ASIA MATERIALS   10  2018.02

    　View Summary

    Graphene is a single-layer carbon sheet with a honeycomb structure, and bilayer graphene consists of two graphene sheets with AB stacking. In trilayer graphene, the third graphene sheet has two possible stacking sequences, A or C, when it is overlaid on bilayer graphene. It has been theoretically predicted that trilayer graphene exhibits a variety of novel electronic properties with/without a Dirac-cone band, depending on the stacking sequence. In this regard, trilayer graphene has a high potential for widening the capability of graphene-based electronic devices. However, the difficulty of selective fabrication has hindered the progress of research. Here, we report the first success in the selective fabrication of quasi-free-standing trilayer graphene with ABA or ABC stacking grown epitaxially on hydrogen-terminated silicon carbide. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) clearly demonstrated that our trilayer graphene with ABA stacking has a massless Dirac-like band near the Fermi level, while that with ABC stacking shows a parabolic non-Dirac-like band dispersion.

  • In-plane electrical conduction mechanisms of highly dense carbon nanotube forests on silicon carbide

    Keita Matsuda, Wataru Norimatsu, Jianfeng Bao, Hiroshi Kawarada, Michiko Kusunoki

    JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS   123 ( 4 )  2018.01

    　View Summary

    We have investigated the length-dependence of the in-plane electrical resistivity of vertically aligned and highly dense carbon nanotube (CNT) films that were dense enough to conduct electrons. The in-plane conductivity is well accounted for by a combination of inter-tube hopping (variable range hopping, VRH) and graphitic conduction. VRH conduction was dominant in the thinner CNT films, and the films showed negative temperature dependence of resistivity. The dimension of the VRH component varied depending on the CNT length. In the thicker CNT films, the graphitic conduction appeared, and then, the localization length spread, leading to the positive temperature dependence of resistivity. This behavior can be explained by the presence of a labyrinthine arrangement of graphene walls among aligned CNTs, which was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy observations.

The large anisotropy in dielectric constant (i.e., related with band gap) due to the layered structure causes this anisotropy.

    © 2017 the Owner Societies. The well-known layer-by-layer (LbL) method can be used to prepare solid thin films with a controlled electron transfer direction by appropriately stacking metal oxide nanosheets and functional organic ions. In this study, we prepared thin solid films consisting of cobalt oxide nanosheets (CoNSs) as the electron transfer medium, α,β,γ,δ-tetrakis(1-methylpyridinium-4-yl)porphyrin (TMPyP) as the electron donor, and 1,1′-dimethyl-4,4′-bipyridinium or methyl viologen (MV) as the electron acceptor. We investigated the photoinduced electron transfer phenomenon in these films by irradiating them with 450 nm light. Irradiating the LbL thin solid films prepared with the CoNS/TMPyP/CoNS/MV/CoNS sequence under reduced pressure led to the production of a one-electron reduction compound of MV. Hence, photoinduced electron transfer from TMPyP to MV bound to CoNSs occurred in these LbL thin solid films. However, the conduction band of CoNSs, as determined by the photoabsorption spectral and photoelectrochemical measurements, was much higher than the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital level of TMPyP. Our findings indicate that the observed equipotential photoinduced electron transfer was caused by the metallic electron conductivity of CoNSs, which show a unique charge arrangement of Co3+ and Co4+. Moreover, it was also found that the observed photoinduced charge separation state has a longer life-time (>5 h) under the reduced conditions.

  • Two-carrier model on the magnetotransport of epitaxial graphene containing coexisting single-layer and bilayer areas

    PHILOSOPHICAL MAGAZINE   97 ( 21 ) 1755 - 1767  2017

    　View Summary

    We have performed low-temperature magnetotransport measurements on epitaxial graphene composed of domains of single-layer and bilayer areas simultaneously present on SiC(0001). Positive magnetoresistance that tends to saturate at high magnetic fields is observed for longitudinal component , while the Hall resistance exhibits sublinear behaviour. The lineshapes for both can be accounted for extremely well by the semiclassical magnetotransport model incorporating two types of carriers conducting in parallel. Two sets of mobilities and densities, corresponding to single-layer and bilayer regions, respectively, can be obtained by fitting the experimental traces to the two-carrier model formulae. From the carrier densities, in turn, the ratio of the single-layer to bilayer areas can be deduced, assuming the alignment of the Fermi levels in the two types of areas with differing dispersion relations and Dirac point energies. The ratio of areas thus obtained is consistent with the ratio directly observed in the atomic force micrograph.

  • Synthesis of Freestanding Graphene on SiC by a Rapid-Cooling Technique

    Jianfeng Bao, Wataru Norimatsu, Hiroshi Iwata, Keita Matsuda, Takahiro Ito, Michiko Kusunoki

    PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS   117 ( 20 )  2016.11

    　View Summary

    Graphene has a negative thermal expansion coefficient; that is, when heated, the graphene lattice shrinks. On the other hand, the substrates typically used for graphene growth, such as silicon carbide, have a positive thermal expansion coefficient. Hence, on cooling graphene on SiC, graphene expands but SiC shrinks. This mismatch will physically break the atomic bonds between graphene and SiC. We have demonstrated that a graphenelike buffer layer on SiC can be converted to a quasifreestanding monolayer graphene by a rapid-cooling treatment. The decoupling of graphene from the SiC substrate was actually effective for reducing the electric carrier scattering due to interfacial phonons. In addition, the rapidly cooled graphene obtained in this way was of high-quality, strain-free, thermally stable, and strongly hole doped. This simple, classical, but quite novel technique for obtaining quasifreestanding graphene could open a new path towards a viable graphene-based semiconductor industry.

    Keita Matsuda, Wataru Norimatsu, Shigeo Arai, Michiko Kusunoki

    JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS   120 ( 14 )  2016.10

    　View Summary

    We observed and analyzed the behavior of platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) supported on aligned-carbon nanotubes (CNTs) at high temperatures by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscope observations. We found that the PtNPs moved toward the inner-side along each CNT on which they were deposited. The mechanism of this behavior is related to the redox reaction of Pt with the carbon atoms in the CNT. We also performed in-situ observation of this process at a high temperature using an environmental transmission electron microscope under an oxygen atmosphere. We found that the PtNPs penetrated down into a high-density aligned CNT forest along the tube axis and that the PtNPs changed their shape to fit the structure of the CNTs during their movement.

  • Sequential control of step-bunching during graphene growth on SiC (0001)

    Jianfeng Bao, Osamu Yasui, Wataru Norimatsu, Keita Matsuda, Michiko Kusunoki

    APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS   109 ( 8 )  2016.08

    　View Summary

    We have investigated the relation between the step-bunching and graphene growth phenomena on an SiC substrate. We found that only a minimum amount of step-bunching occurred during the graphene growth process with a high heating rate. On the other hand, a large amount of step-bunching occurred using a slow heating process. These results indicated that we can control the degree of step-bunching during graphene growth by controlling the heating rate. We also found that graphene coverage suppressed step bunching, which is an effective methodology not only in the graphene technology but also in the SiC-based power electronics.

  • Thermoelectric properties of Nb-doped (Nd0.55Li0.36)TiO(3)bulk ceramics with superlattice structure

    JOURNAL OF ALLOYS AND COMPOUNDS   664   487 - 491  2016.04

    　View Summary

    We report the thermoelectric properties of Nb-doped (Nd0.55Li0.36)TiO3 bulk ceramics prepared by the conventional sintering method. Superlattice structure present throughout the crystalline grain was observed and a glass-like thermal conductivity (similar to 2 W/m.K) was obtained. The electrical properties of (Nd0.55Li0.36)TiO3 were improved due to the Ti-site-Nb-doping. The low solid solubility of Nb and the distortion of TiO6 octahedron impaired the electrical performance of Nb-doped (Nd0.55Li0.36)TiO3. The sample with 5 at% Nb gave the maximum ZT value of 0.05 at 650 K. This work is helpful for the design of novel oxide thermoelectric materials. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

  • Contact Conductivity of Uncapped Carbon Nanotubes Formed by Silicon Carbide Decomposition

    Masafumi Inaba, Chih-Yu Lee, Kazuma Suzuki, Megumi Shibuya, Miho Myodo, Yu Hirano, Wataru Norimatsu, Michiko Kusunoki, Hiroshi Kawarada

    JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C   120 ( 11 ) 6232 - 6238  2016.03

    　View Summary

    Understanding of the contact conductivity of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) will contribute to the further application of CNTs for electronic devices, such as thin film transistors whose channel or electrode is made of dispersed CNTs. In this study, we estimated the contact conductivity of a CNT/CNT interface from the in-plane conductivity of an uncapped CNT forest on SiC. Investigation of the electrical properties of dense CNT forests is also important to enable their electrical application. The in-plane conductivity of a dense CNT forest on silicon carbide normalized by its thickness was measured to be SO S/cm, which is two to three orders of magnitude lower than the conductivity of a CNT yarn. It was also found that both the CNT cap region and the CNT bulk region exhibit in-plane conductivity. The contact conductivity of CNTs was estimated from the in-plane conductivity in the bulk region. Dense and uncapped CNT forest can be approximated by a conductive mesh, in which each conductive branch corresponds to the CNT/CNT contact conductance. The evaluated contact conductivity was in good agreement with that calculated from the tunneling effect.

  • Ohmic contact for silicon carbide by carbon nanotubes

    Masafumi Inaba, Kazuma Suzuki, Yu Hirano, Wataru Norimatsu, Michiko Kusunoki, Hiroshi Kawarada

    Materials Science Forum   858   561 - 564  2016  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    The electrical contact properties of silicon carbide (SiC) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were measured by conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM). A CNT forest was synthesized by SiC surface decomposition. Trenches, which electrically separate the conduction area, were fabricated using a focused ion beam (FIB) without a cover layer, and the resistance of each island was measured by C-AFM. From the dependence of the resistance on the CNT forest island size, the contact resistance between the CNTs and the SiC substrate was measured. By varying the dopant density in the SiC substrate, the Schottky barrier height was evaluated to be ~0.5 eV. This is slightly higher than a previously reported result obtained from a similar setup with a metal covering the CNT forest. We assumed that the damaged region existed in the islands, which is due to the trench formation by the FIB. The commensurate barrier height was obtained with the length of the damaged region assumed to be ~3 μm. Here, we could estimate the resistivity of a CNT/SiC interface without a cover layer. This indicates that a CNT forest on SiC is useful as a brief contact electrode.

  • Synthesis of copper nanoparticles within the interlayer space of titania nanosheet transparent films

    Kazuhisa Sasaki, Kazuki Matsubara, Shiori Kawamura, Kenji Saito, Masayuki Yagi, Wataru Norimatsu, Ryo Sasai, Tatsuto Yui

    JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY C   4 ( 7 ) 1476 - 1481  2016

    　View Summary

    We report the first in situ synthesis of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) within the interlayer space of inorganic layered semiconductors (titania nanosheet films) through the following steps. A sintered titania nanosheet (s-TNS) film was synthesised, forming a transparent, layered semiconductor film (similar to 2 mu m thick). A considerable amount of copper ions (ca. 68% relative to the cation exchange capacity of TNSs) was intercalated in the s-TNSs using the methyl viologen-containing s-TNSs as the intermediate. The resultant copper-containing s-TNS (TNS/Cu2+) film was treated with an aqueous solution of NaBH4, resulting in a colour change. Extinction spectra of NaBH4-treated films exhibited a wide extinction band at lambda(max) (the extinction band maximum) = 683 nm. The spectral shapes and lambda(max) were similar to those for copper nanoparticles on TiO2 surfaces. Transmission electron microscopy analysis demonstrated the wide distribution of electron dense particles on the titania sheet of NaBH4-treated TNS/Cu2+. XRD analysis and absorption/extinction analysis with different amounts of TNSs suggest that CuNPs were formed within the interlayer space rather than the surface of TNSs through NaBH4 treatment. Repeatable oxidation and reduction behaviour, i.e. colouration and decolouration cycles of the copper species within TNS films, was investigated.

  • Growth and Features of Epitaxial Graphene on SiC

    Michiko Kusunoki, Wataru Norimatsu, Jianfeng Bao, Koichi Morita, Ulrich Starke

    JOURNAL OF THE PHYSICAL SOCIETY OF JAPAN   84 ( 12 )  2015.12

    　View Summary

    Recent progress of epitaxial graphene on SiC was reviewed, focusing on its growth and structural and electronic features. Homogeneous graphene can be grown on SiC(0001) on a wafer scale, however on SiC(000 (1) over bar) multilayer but rotationally stacked graphene with monolayer like electronic property grows. HRTEM revealed the formation mechanism and structural features of graphene on the both surfaces. The high structural and electronic quality of the grown graphene is monitored by Raman spectroscopy and magneto-transport characterization. High-resolution ARPES measurements of the electronic dispersion around the (K) over bar -point retrieved the ABA and ABC stacked trilayer graphene. The measurements also directly revealed that electronic structures of graphene were manipulated by transfer doping and atomic intercalation. In particular, p- and n-doped regions on a meso-scale and the p-n junctions prepared on SiC via controlling intercalation of Ge exhibited ballistic transport and Klein tunneling, which predicted novel potentials on to epitaxial graphene on SiC.

  • Very low Schottky barrier height at carbon nanotube and silicon carbide interface

    Masafumi Inaba, Kazuma Suzuki, Megumi Shibuya, Chih-Yu Lee, Yoshiho Masuda, Naoya Tomatsu, Wataru Norimatsu, Atsushi Hiraiwa, Michiko Kusunoki, Hiroshi Kawarada

    APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS   106 ( 12 )  2015.03

    　View Summary

    Electrical contacts to silicon carbide with low contact resistivity and high current durability are crucial for future SiC power devices, especially miniaturized vertical-type devices. A carbon nanotube (CNT) forest formed by silicon carbide (SiC) decomposition is a densely packed forest, and is ideal for use as a heat-dissipative ohmic contact in SiC power transistors. The contact resistivity and Schottky barrier height in a Ti/CNT/SiC system with various SiC dopant concentrations were evaluated in this study. Contact resistivity was evaluated in relation to contact area. The Schottky barrier height was calculated from the contact resistivity. As a result, the Ti/CNT/SiC contact resistivity at a dopant concentration of 3 x 10(18) cm(-3) was estimated to be similar to 1.3 x 10(-4) Omega cm(2) and the Schottky barrier height of the CNT/SiC contact was in the range of 0.40-0.45 eV. The resistivity is relatively low for SiC contacts, showing that CNTs have the potential to be a good ohmic contact material for SiC power electronic devices. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.

  • Formation of a nitride interface in epitaxial graphene on SiC (0001)

    Yoshiho Masuda, Wataru Norimatsu, Michiko Kusunoki

    PHYSICAL REVIEW B   91 ( 7 )  2015.02

    　View Summary

    We report on a nitride interface structure formed between epitaxial graphene and SiC (0001). The nitride interface can be obtained by the pretreatment of SiC in an Ar/N-2 atmosphere at 1600 degrees C, followed by graphene growth in Ar at 1700 degrees C. Our detailed high-resolution transmission electron microscopy revealed a nitride atomic layer between the 0th carbon layer and the SiC substrate. Due to the nitride interface, the interface carrier scattering was reduced, which resulted in an improvement of the room temperature mobility of graphene, indicating that this is another technique to modify the electronic properties of graphene.

    MICROSYSTEM TECHNOLOGIES-MICRO-AND NANOSYSTEMS-INFORMATION STORAGE AND PROCESSING SYSTEMS   21 ( 1 ) 295 - 300  2015.01

    　View Summary

    The feasibility of using vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on a burnishing slider in the cleaning process of a magnetic disk surface was studied. Vertically aligned CNTs on SiC flat sliders were grown by the SiC surface decomposition method. Burnishing sliders with different CNT lengths were prepared for friction measurement on magnetic disks and for the burnishing test. Non-lubricated vertically aligned CNTs sliding on non-lubricated magnetic disks resulted in large friction; however, coating the CNTs and the disks with a perfluoropolyether lubricant film dramatically decreased the friction force. In addition, it was found that a specific amount of lubricant was needed on the CNTs to decrease the friction force and that the friction force depended on the CNT length. The particle burnishing test indicated that the 34-nm-long CNT burnishing slider with a rinsed lubricant film showed good burnishing performance.

  • Growth of graphene from SiC{0001} surfaces and its mechanisms

    Wataru Norimatsu, Michiko Kusunoki

    SEMICONDUCTOR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY   29 ( 6 )  2014.06

    　View Summary

    Graphene, a one-atom-layer carbon material, can be grown by thermal decomposition of SiC. On Si-terminated SiC(0001), graphene nucleates at steps and grows layer-by-layer, and as a result a homogeneous monolayer or bilayer can be obtained. We demonstrate this mechanism both experimentally and theoretically. On the C-face (000(1) over bar), multilayer graphene nucleates not only at steps, but also on the terraces. These differences reflect the distinct differences in the reactivity of these faces. Due to its high quality and structural controllability, graphene on SiC{0001} surfaces will be a platform for high-speed graphene device applications.

  • Effects of Transition Metal Substitution on the Thermoelectric Properties of Metallic (BiS)(1.2)(TiS2)(2) Misfit Layer Sulfide

    JOURNAL OF ELECTRONIC MATERIALS   43 ( 6 ) 1870 - 1874  2014.06

    　View Summary

    The misfit layer compounds (BiS)(1.2)(TiS2)(2), with a natural superlattice structures, are of substantial interest as thermoelectric materials. In this work we doped the Ti sites of (BiS)(1.2)(TiS2)(2) with a series of transition metal (TM) elements (V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn), to optimize its transport properties and thermoelectric performance. X-ray diffraction confirmed all the resulting compositions were single-phase. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed the valence states of the doping elements, indicating they behave as acceptors and reduce the carrier concentration; this was also apparent from Hall measurements. However, because of the non-parabolic band structure of (BiS)(1.2)(TiS2)(2), reduction of carrier concentration by doping with most of the TM elements did not improve the Seebeck coefficient. Exceptions were V and Cr. For these elements, the effective mass of electrons was maintained, or even enhanced, resulting in improvement of the Seebeck coefficient. Furthermore, the stacking disorder present in undoped (BiS)(1.2)(TiS2)(2) was not observed for the TM element-doped samples, resulting in increased lattice thermal conductivity. Although the power factor of these materials was not optimized, because of the large reduction in electronic thermal conductivity upon doping, the Cr-doped sample had a higher figure of merit than the undoped material.

  • Structural features of epitaxial graphene on SiC {0001} surfaces

    Wataru Norimatsu, Michiko Kusunoki

    JOURNAL OF PHYSICS D-APPLIED PHYSICS   47 ( 9 )  2014.03

    　View Summary

    We investigated the atomic-scale structural properties of graphene epitaxially grown on SiC {0 0 0 1} surfaces by high-resolution transmission electron microscope observations. In this review paper, we summarize our results about the interface structure, the growth mechanisms and the growth techniques. Graphene on the Si-terminated surface has a buffer layer that is strongly bonded to the substrate and has a low carbon atom density. Multilayer graphene on the Si-face exhibited an ABC-stacking selectively. Graphene on the Si-face nucleates at the step-edge, and grows layer-by-layer over the upper terrace. Based on the mechanism, we succeeded in growing high-quality and homogeneous monolayer and bilayer graphene on the Si-terminated surface with low-height and low-density steps using our original technique. Graphene on the C-face has weaker bonds with the substrate, and the resulting multilayer contains the rotational stacking disorder. The origin of the rotational stacking is closely related to the growth mechanism, where graphene layers nucleate on a terrace at a lower temperature and grow in all directions on the surface.

  • Growth mechanisms and selectivity for graphene or carbon nanotube formation on SiC (000(1)over-bar): A density-functional tight-binding molecular dynamics study

    CHEMICAL PHYSICS LETTERS   595   266 - 271  2014.03

    　View Summary

    We have performed density-functional tight-binding simulations mimicking the thermal decomposition of the SiC (000 (1) over bar) surface to reproduce the experimentally observed growth of either graphene or carbon nanotubes. A graphene-like network was obtained from a layer-by-layer decomposition of the SiC surface. The interaction between graphene and SiC was found to be relatively weak. Meanwhile, carbon nanotubes grew when a five-membered ring was initially formed together with a carbon chain. The simulation results suggest that growth selectivity depends on the overall carbon network connectivity and carbon aggregation speed at the very initial stage of the decomposition process.

  • Epitaxial graphene on SiC{0001}: advances and perspectives

    Wataru Norimatsu, Michiko Kusunoki

    PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS   16 ( 8 ) 3501 - 3511  2014

    　View Summary

    We review here recent progress on epitaxial graphene grown on a SiC substrate. Epitaxial graphene can be easily grown by heating the SiC single crystal in a high vacuum or in an inert gas atmosphere. The SiC surfaces used for graphene growth contain Si- and C-terminated faces. On the Si- face, homogeneous and clean graphene can be grown with a controlled number of layers, and the carrier mobility reaches as high as several m(2) V s(-1), although this is reduced by the presence of the substrate steps. On the C-face, although the number of layers is not homogeneous, twisted bilayer graphene can be grown, which is expected to be the technique of choice to modify the electronic structure of graphene. From the application point of view, graphene on SiC will be the platform used to fabricate high-speed electronic devices and dense graphene nanoribbon arrays, which will be used to introduce a bandgap.

  • Enhanced thermoelectric performance of Nb-doped SrTiO3 by nano-inclusion with low thermal conductivity

    Ning Wang, Haijun Chen, Hongcai He, Wataru Norimatsu, Michiko Kusunoki, Kunihito Koumoto

    SCIENTIFIC REPORTS   3  2013.12

    　View Summary

    Authors reported an effective path to increase the electrical conductivity while to decrease the thermal conductivity, and thus to enhance the ZT value by nano-inclusions. By this method, the ZT value of Nb-doped SrTiO3 was enhanced 9-fold by yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) nano-inclusions. YSZ inclusions, located inside grain and in triple junction, can reduce the thermal conductivity by effective interface phonon scattering, enhance the electrical conductivity by promoting the abnormal grain growth, and thus lead to the obvious enhancement of ZT value, which strongly suggests that, it is possible to not only reduce the thermal conductivity, but also increase the electrical conductivity by nano-inclusions with low thermal conductivity. This study will give some useful enlightenment to the preparation of high-performance oxide thermoelectric materials.

    The atomic-scale carbon rearrangement into graphene by the thermal decomposition of SiC (0001) was simulated by the density-functional tight-binding technique. By decomposing the terrace of the SiC (0001) surface, the carbon chains formed a three-dimensional structure, because the carbon atoms are released by losing their original contacts to silicon atom. On the other hand, in the step model, the silicon atoms at the step-edge act as trapping sites for the released carbon atoms, and the carbon network effectively nucleated and expanded. After nucleation at the step, graphene can grow by the further decomposition together with retreat of the step. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.

    MATERIALS LETTERS   97   191 - 194  2013.04

    　View Summary

    We report the thermal conductivity of bulk Nd2/3-xLi3xTiO3 (0.047 < x < 0.151) ceramics, prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction method. These materials possess a nanochessboard superlattice structure present in every crystallite, with a superperiodicity of similar to 4 nm along the [110] orientation. A glass-like low thermal conductivity (1-2 W/(mK)) was shown in the Nd2/3-xLi3xTiO3 system and it was almost temperature independent. Moreover, a shorter periodic length of the superlattice structure caused a lower thermal conductivity due to the increased interface phonon scattering. The low thermal conductivity is not always seen in oxide materials. In combination with the tunability of the electrical properties and the maintainability of the microstructure, we believe that this work provides an insight into the nanostructure design for the development of novel oxide thermoelectric materials.

    PHYSICAL REVIEW B   87 ( 7 )  2013.02

    　View Summary

    The formation of large-area homogeneous graphene on a C-terminated SiC (000 (1) over bar) surface was achieved via decomposition of the SiC (000 (1) over bar) surface covered with an ultrathin but much more stable TiC layer than the reactive SiC(000 (1) over bar). By heating the SiC (000 (1) over bar) surface with a mixed powder of TiO2 and carbon at 1500-1550 degrees C in vacuum, an extremely homogeneous, epitaxial 0.75-nm-thick TiC(111) layer was grown on the SiC(000 (1) over bar) surface over a millimeter-scale area. Graphitization of the TiC-masked SiC surface led to the growth of high-quality graphene layers, which consist of TiC- and SiC-derived carbon. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy revealed the presence of disordered stacking of graphene layers on SiC through an amorphous layer at the interface. This unique method will promise further progress of relatively high carrier mobility of graphene formed on the SiC (000 (1) over bar) surface. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.87.075431

    In order to achieve waste heat recovery using thermoelectric systems, thermoelectric materials showing high conversion efficiency over wide temperature range and high resistance against oxidation are indispensable. A silicide material with good n-type thermoelectric properties and oxidation resistance has been discovered. The composition and crystal structure of the silicide are found out Mn3Si4Al2 (abbreviated as 342 phase) and hexagonal CrSi2 structure, respectively. Element substitution of Mn with 3d transition metals is succeeded. Enhancement of Seebeck coefficient is observed in a Cr-substituted sample. The maximum dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit ZT is 0.3 at 573 K in air for the Mn2.7Cr0.3Si4Al2 sample. Electrical resistivity of the Mn3Si4Al2 bulk sample holds constant value for 48 h at 873 K in air. This is due to formation of oxide passive layer on the surface of the bulk sample. The 342 phase is a promising n-type material with a good oxidation resistance in the middle temperature range of 500-800 K. © 2013 Materials Research Society.

    　View Summary

    A suicide material with a good n-type thermoelectric property has been discovered. This suicide possesses a composition of Mn3-xCrxSi4Al2 (0 &lt;= x &lt;= 0.7) and hexagonal CrSi2 structure. The a- and c-cell parameters decrease with increasing the amount of Cr substitution. The absolute values of Seebeck coefficient and electrical resistivity increase by Cr substitution up to 573 K because of reduction of carrier density. The dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit ZT reaches 0.21 at 773 K for a non Cr substituted sample at the Mn site and 0.30 at 573 K for a Cr substituted one with x = 0.3. Since oxide passive layer is formed around the surface, electrical resistivity measured at 873 K is constant for 2 days in air, which indicates good oxidation resistance in air of this material. The Mn3-xCrxSi4Al2 is a promising n-type material with a good oxidation resistance in the middle temperature range. A thermoelectric module consisting of 64 pairs of legs has been fabricated using MnSi1.7 and non Cr substituted Mn3Si4Al2 devices as p- and n-type legs, respectively. Output power reaches 9.4W, which corresponds to 2.3 kW/m(2) of power density against surface area of the substrate, for a heat source temperature of 873 K in air.

    Here, we reveal origins of the planar electrical transport of closely-packed carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and silicon-doped CNTs (Si-CNTs) films. Their electrical resistivities increased with decreasing temperature, but exhibit a plateau below 60 K. This phenomenon can be well described using the simple-two-band model, which is often used to understand the electronic properties of graphite. Cryogenic energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy visualizes Si atoms dispersed finely in CNTs, preserving the structural features of CNTs. These Si atoms induced effective carriers above 150 K, while three-dimensional variable range hopping and weak localization are dominant in their transport below 50 and 10 K, respectively.

    JOURNAL OF PHYSICS-CONDENSED MATTER   24 ( 31 )  2012.08

    　View Summary

    We grew graphene by thermal decomposition of B4C and investigated its features by high-resolution transmission electron microscope observations. At temperatures higher than 1600 degrees C in a vacuum, B4C decomposes and graphene forms epitaxially on its surface. The number and the morphology of the graphene layers depend on the surface orientation. An electron diffraction technique revealed the presence of a superstructure with a two-times larger unit cell, which is consistent with the structure of BC3. We have directly confirmed boron in the graphene layers by electron energy loss spectroscopy measurements and boron-mapping experiments.

  • Effects of alkaline earth doping on the thermoelectric properties of misfit layer sulfides

    Yulia Eka Putri, Chunlei Wan, Yifeng Wang, Wataru Norimatsu, Michiko Kusunoki, Kunihito Koumoto

    SCRIPTA MATERIALIA   66 ( 11 ) 895 - 898  2012.06

    　View Summary

    The substitutional doping of magnesium into the host layers (TiS2), calcium and strontium into phonon barrier layers (BiS) was attempted to improve the thermoelectric performance of (BiS)(1.2)(TiS2)(2) misfit layer sulfides by decreasing the carrier concentration. The substitutional doping did reduce the carrier concentration; however, the Seebeck coefficient decreased slightly due to the decrease in the effective mass of carrier electrons. Meanwhile, the lattice thermal conductivity was increased by the formation of an ordered or commensurate structure. (C) 2012 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    JAPANESE JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS   51 ( 5 )  2012.05

    　View Summary

    Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grown by the surface decomposition of SiC were studied by angular-dependent C K-edge near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (NEXAFS) with a linearly polarized X-ray beam. The NEXAFS spectra measured in total electron yield mode showed a distinct angular dependence on pi* and sigma* resonances and the orientation parameter was tentatively estimated to be 0.38, which is fairly larger than those reported for other vertically aligned CNTs grown by chemical vapor deposition. The high order of the vertical alignment of CNTs grown by the surface decomposition of SiC was demonstrated by NEXAFS measurements for the first time. (C) 2012 The Japan Society of Applied Physics

  • Nitrate-ion-selective exchange ability of layered double hydroxide consisting of Mg-II and Fe-II

    Ryo Sasai, Wataru Norimatsu, Yukitaka Matsumoto

    JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS   215   311 - 314  2012.05

    　View Summary

    In this study, layered double hydroxide (LDH) consisting of Mg-II and Fe-III (Mg/Fe-LDH) was synthesized by using a combination of coprecipitation with hydrothermal aging, and its anion-exchange properties were investigated. Through various analyses, the chemical formula of the proposed Mg/Fe-LDH was determined to be [Mg0.76Fe0.24(OH)(2)](Cl-)(0.21)(CO32-)(0.02)center dot 0.76H(2)O. Furthermore, amorphous Fe-III impurities were contained in the present Mg/Fe-LOH. The proposed Mg/Fe-LDH exhibited clear selectivity for nitrate ions dissolved in water. This selectivity for nitrate ions can be explained by an anion-sieve effect by the existence of amorphous Fe-III impurities. Our findings suggest that it is possible to synthesize LDHs with high selectivity for various anions by effective hybridizing Fe-III impurities. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

  • Nanoscale stacking faults induced low thermal conductivity in thermoelectric layered metal sulfides

    APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS   100 ( 10 )  2012.03

    　View Summary

    Layered metal sulfides (MS)(1+x)(TiS2)(2) (M - Pb, Sn, Bi) with alternative stacking of MS layers and TiS2 layers (a natural superlattice) have been proposed as thermoelectric materials. In this paper, various nanoscale stacking faults have been found in these materials, including the translational disorder in (SnS)(1.2)(TiS2)(2) and the staging disorder in (BiS)(1.2)(TiS2)(2). The lattice thermal conductivities along the layers are systematically and significantly reduced by these stacking faults which are only a few unit cells apart, without deteriorating the electron mobility, demonstrating a "phonon-blocking, electron-transmitting" scenario.

    　View Summary

    We firstly performed plan-view transmission electron microscope (TEM) observations along SiC [0001] direction to analyze the in-plane structure of graphene on Si- and C-faces of SiC. A fast Fourier transformation (FFT) of the TEM images and the reconstructed inverse FFT (iFFT) images enabled to investigate the stacking structure. The FFT patterns of several graphene layers on Si- and C-faces show one and multiple sets of six-fold 1100 spots, respectively. These mean that within a same grain graphene layers on the Si-face stack without rotation, while graphene layers on the C-face stack with rotation.

    We developed a new simple method to fabricate periodic CNTs array. The new method has a series of processes, which consists of forming monolayer of SiO2 particles on close-packed-CNT film formed by surface decomposition of SiC, Pt deposition, removing of the SiO2 particles and heat treatment in the air. This method enables us to fabricate the periodic CNTs array without expensive apparatuses and complicated processes.

    E-JOURNAL OF SURFACE SCIENCE AND NANOTECHNOLOGY   10   411 - 413  2012

    　View Summary

    The electronic structures of doped carbon nanotubes (CNTs) need to be investigated. We have studied boron and nitrogen-doped, close-packed, aligned, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) using first principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). The total energy and density of states (DOS) for doped (10,0) SWCNTs were calculated. From these results, we found that it is more energetically favorable to dope boron atoms than nitrogen atoms. We also found that the electronic structure of close-packed and zigzag-type (10,0) SWCNTs changed to that of a p-type semiconductor and metal by doping boron and nitrogen atoms, respectively.

  • Formation mechanism of graphene layers on SiC (000(1)over-bar) in a high-pressure argon atmosphere

    Wataru Norimatsu, Juji Takada, Michiko Kusunoki

    PHYSICAL REVIEW B   84 ( 3 )  2011.07

    　View Summary

    Graphene layers were grown on a C-terminated SiC (000 (1) over bar) surface in a high-pressure Ar atmosphere. Their growth mechanism was investigated using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM). First at a low temperature, local areas of SiC surface are decomposed, and several layers of graphene nucleus are formed in the resulting craters. Then graphene layers grow in all directions laterally, keeping their number of layers invariant. These results indicate that control of the number of graphene layers require precise control of the first stage of decomposition. After the graphene layers cover the surface completely, SiC decomposition occurs at a higher temperature along the [0001](SiC) direction, and the number of graphene layers increase. The formation of local wrinkles accompanies the increase of the number of layers. In addition we propose that the formation mechanism strongly affects the rotational stacking, which is characteristic of multilayer graphene on the C-face of SiC.

  • Intercalation: Building a Natural Superlattice for Better Thermoelectric Performance in Layered Chalcogenides

    Chunlei Wan, Yifeng Wang, Ning Wang, Wataru Norimatsu, Michiko Kusunoki, Kunihito Koumoto

    JOURNAL OF ELECTRONIC MATERIALS   40 ( 5 ) 1271 - 1280  2011.05

    　View Summary

    A natural superlattice with composition (SnS)(1.2)(TiS2)(2), built by intercalating a SnS layer into the van der Waals gap of layered TiS2, has been directly observed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The thermoelectric performance is improved in the direction parallel to the layers because the electron mobility is maintained while simultaneously suppressing phonon transport, which is attributed to softening of the transverse sound velocities due to weakened interlayer bonding. In the direction perpendicular to the layers, the lattice thermal conductivity of (SnS)(1.2)(TiS2)(2) is even lower than the predicted minimum thermal conductivity, which may be caused by phonon localization due to the translational disorder of the SnS layers parallel to the layers. Moreover, we propose a large family of misfit-layer compounds (MX)(1+x) (TX2) (n) (M = Pb, Bi, Sn, Sb, rare-earth elements; T = Ti, V, Cr, Nb, Ta; X = S, Se; n = 1, 2, 3) with a natural superlattice structure as possible candidate high-performance thermoelectric materials.

    The carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on 6H-SiC and Si-doped CNTs on 6H-SiC were analyzed by hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to identify the chemical bonding character of the doped Si in the CNT layer. We performed the depth profiling of the sample by changing photoelectron's take-off-angle (TOA). The spectral component associated with the doped Si is clearly seen in the Si 1s photoelectron spectra of Si-doped CNTs on 6H-SiC. The Si 1s peak shifts toward lower kinetic energy side from TOA = 80 degrees (bulk-sensitive) to 8 degrees (surface-sensitive), which implies the formation of the sp(2)-like structure in Si-doped CNTs

  • Development of novel thermoelectric materials by reduction of lattice thermal conductivity

    SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF ADVANCED MATERIALS   11 ( 4 )  2010.08

    　View Summary

    Thermal conductivity is one of the key parameters in the figure of merit of thermoelectric materials. Over the past decade, most progress in thermoelectric materials has been made by reducing their thermal conductivity while preserving their electrical properties. The phonon scattering mechanisms involved in these strategies are reviewed here and divided into three groups, including (i) disorder or distortion of unit cells, (ii) resonant scattering by localized rattling atoms and (iii) interface scattering. In addition, we propose construction of a 'natural superlattice' in thermoelectric materials by intercalating an MX layer into the van der Waals gap of a layered TX2 structure which has a general formula of (MX)(1+x) (TX2)(n) (M = Pb, Bi, Sn, Sb or a rare earth element; T = Ti, V, Cr, Nb or Ta; X = S or Se and n = 1, 2, 3). We demonstrate that one of the intercalation compounds (SnS)(1.2)(TiS2)(2) has better thermoelectric properties compared with pure TiS2 in the direction parallel to the layers, as the electron mobility is maintained while the phonon transport is significantly suppressed owing to the reduction in the transverse phonon velocities.

  • Transmission Electron Microscope Observation of Interface Structures of Graphene on 6H-SiC

    Wataru Norimatsu, Michiko Kusunoki

    JOURNAL OF NANOSCIENCE AND NANOTECHNOLOGY   10 ( 6 ) 3884 - 3889  2010.06

    　View Summary

    High-resolution transmission electron microscopic cross-sectional observations of graphene-on-SiC(0001) were carried out to directly observe the interface structure. A first principles calculation allowed us to understand the interface structures and their electronic states. Our observations revealed a metastable transitional interface structure formed by decomposition of a single SiC bilayer as well as complete honeycomb graphene formed by the decomposition of three SiC bilayers. The calculations further showed that the differences in the interface structures should strongly influence the electronic states, producing either metallic or semiconducting behavior. These results may help to resolve the controversy over the electronic states of graphene-on-SiC, and promote more accurate band-gap engineering via surface decomposition.

  • Selective formation of ABC-stacked graphene layers on SiC(0001)

    Wataru Norimatsu, Michiko Kusunoki

    PHYSICAL REVIEW B   81 ( 16 )  2010.04

    　View Summary

    An investigation using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy of the stacking sequence of several layers of graphene formed on SiC (0001) shows that graphene layers selectively exhibit an ABC-type stacking. Using the well-known Slonczewski-Weiss-McClure model based on the tight-binding method, we suggest that a gamma(5)-like interatomic interaction, which corresponds to the formation of a linear trimer of ABA type stacking, is spontaneously weakened by the interaction between graphene and SiC. This can lead to the destabilization of the ABA stacking and to the formation of the ABC stacking, indicating the possibility of bandgap tuning by an electric field in more than three layers of graphene on SiC.

    A multi-layered carbon nanotube (CNT)/SiC stack structure was fabricated by repeated alternate deposition and surface decomposition of SiC. The newly deposited 3C-SiC layer on the CNT film had good crystallinity; the CNTs produced by the decomposition of the 3C-SiC were as mostly aligned as the CNTs produced from pristine 6H-SiC. By appropriate choice of deposition and decomposition conditions we demonstrated that it is possible to produce alternating CNT and SiC layers with a controlled thickness. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

  • Novel upgraded method of recycling spent SiC abrasive powders to CNT particles

    JOURNAL OF THE CERAMIC SOCIETY OF JAPAN   117 ( 1367 ) 815 - 818  2009.07

    　View Summary

    To encourage the recycling of spent SiC abrasive powders, we investigated the synthesis of CNTs from several types of powders. The surface decomposition method was applied to as-received powders, and graphite was observed on the SiC surface but CNTs were not. This could be caused by the turbulence of the crystal structure and Fe contaminants on the SiC surface. On the other hand, from TEM observations we found that particle covered of CNTs could be synthesized by applying the surface decomposition method to powders pretreated by acid and heat, because the turbulence of the crystal structure on the surface could be improved and Fe contaminants could be removed. Consequently, the spent SiC abrasive powders pretreated by acid and heat could be used as a resource for synthesizing CNT particles. (C) 2009 The Ceramic Society of Japan. All rights reserved.

It was also found that the suppression of CAF ordering occurred in a variant with smaller orthorhombicity, which is one of two variants forming a banded domain structure in the OO state.

In order to understand the stability of electronic states in the Nd-content region of 0 <= x <= 0.50, the crystallographic features of this manganite have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy. The increase in the Nd-content led to the orbital ordered state in 0.10 <= x <= 0.25 and the charge and orbital ordered state in 0.25 <= x < 0.45. In particular, it was found that the orbital ordering accompanied the C-type antiferromagnetic ordering at lower temperatures, and that the transition to the charge and orbital ordered states was strongly suppressed in x > 0.35.

  • Crystallographic features of the orbital-ordered, and charge-and-orbital-ordered states in Sr2-xNdxMnO4

    Wataru Norimatsu, Yasumasa Koyama

    PHYSICAL REVIEW B   75 ( 23 )  2007.06

    　View Summary

    The crystallographic features of the orbital-ordered and charge-and-orbital-ordered states in Sr2-xNdxMnO4 have been investigated by in situ observations, using a transmission electron microscope, in an attempt to understand the distinct characteristics of their electronic states. In the orbital-ordered state with orthorhombic symmetry, there exist four banded-domain-structure states, that is, two orthorhombic variant states (O-I+O-II) accompanying the C-type antiferromagnetic ordering at lower temperatures and (DT+O-I) coexistence and (O-I+O-II) states lacking magnetic ordering at higher temperatures, where DT represents the disordered tetragonal state and O-I and O-II the two orthorhombic variants. On the other hand, the stability of the charge-and-orbital-ordered state present for 0.25 <= x <= 0.43 is strongly suppressed when x > 0.38. As a result of the strong suppression, the charge-exchange-type charge-and-orbital-ordered state is absent for x=0.5. The important features of the charge-and-orbital-ordered state are that it is basically characterized by incommensurate structural modulations and that round-shaped domains separated by disordered regions appear for 0.38 < x <= 0.43 near the DT state. On the basis of these data, the origin of the appearance of the four banded-structure states in the orbital-ordered state was attributed to a coupling between the local Jahn-Teller distortion and the long-range distortions, including a dilational one. In addition, we propose a model for the ground-state change between the orbital-ordered and charge-and-orbital-ordered states in terms of orbital degree of freedom.

    　View Summary

    An in situ observation of the tetragonal-to-orthorhombic phase transition in Fe-substituted Sr1.8La0.2MnO4 by transmission electron microscopy revealed that the domain structure changes, as a relaxation phenomenon, took place during the aging for the formation of the orbital ordered state. At each aging temperature, the final banded domain structure could be produced from any starting state. The characteristic features of the domain-structure relaxation found in this study are also discussed in terms of a coupling between the local Jahn-Teller and long-range dilational distortions.

  • Evolution of orthorhombic domain structures during the tetragonal-to-orthorhombic phase transition in the layered perovskite Sr2-xLaxMnO4

    Wataru Norimatsu, Yasumasa Koyama

    PHYSICAL REVIEW B   74 ( 8 )  2006.08

    　View Summary

    When Sr2+ ions in Sr2MnO4 containing only Mn4+ ions were partially replaced by La3+, a new phase having orthorhombic symmetry appeared around an La content of x=0.15 between the tetragonal I4/mmm (T) phase and the charge and orbital ordered (COO) phase, accompanying the introduction of Mn3+ ions. Our in situ observation using a transmission electron microscope revealed that the orthorhombic (O) phase could be identified as an orbital ordered state without charge ordering, and that its microstructure is characterized by an alternating array of two banded-shape variants with different orthorhombicities, O-I and O-II. It was also found that the T-to-O phase transition exhibited a unique evolution of domain structures, which resulted in the above-mentioned banded microstructure. In particular, the domain-structure evolution consisted of three steps: the appearance of the (T+O-I) and then the (O-I+O-II) coexisting states, followed by the annihilation of the interface between the O-I and O-II variants. The evidence suggests that this unique pattern of evolution is due to coupling between the short-wavelength Jahn-Teller (JT) distortion, associated with the Mn3+ ion, and the long-wavelength O distortion.

    　View Summary

    本研究では、SiC基板上大面積高品質単一方位グラフェンを、固体電解質との界面における電気化学反応研究のモデル試料として用いることで、その詳細を明らかにすることを目標としている。具体的には、固体電解質としてはリン酸リチウムオキシナイトライドガラス（LiPON）を用い、グラフェン層間およびグラフェン/基板界面へのLiイオンの挿入と拡散についてのメカニズムを明らかにすることを目指した。
    今年度は、昨年度の実験結果により示唆された単層グラフェンでのLi挿入脱離機構について、より詳細を明らかにするために、グラフェン層数が2層程度の試料についても同様に実験を行った。その結果、層数が増加しても酸化ピークが2本観察されることがわかった。層数増加に伴うその変化は、低電位側のピークの高電流値化と高電位側へのシフトであった。この結果は、低電位側がグラフェン層間、高電位側がグラフェン/基板界面でのLi挿入脱離であるとする考えを補強するものである。また、多層グラファイトにおけるステージ構造変化との対応に関しては、複数の酸化ピークの電流値とピーク位置が、ステージ構造変化に対応する酸化ピークへと系統的に変化していることもわかった。電気化学インピーダンス測定、充放電測定からは、層数増加に伴って、Li挿入サイトが増加したことを示唆する結果が得られた。これらの成果について、新学術領域会議に加えて、2022年3月の応用物理学会において発表した。また、多層グラファイトにおける結果は2021年10月に出版され、1～2層グラフェンの結果については新学術領域代表である入山・本山グループと共同研究論文を投稿中である。

    　View Summary

    In this study, we performed experiments in order to understand the factors and their contributions which affect the carrier mobility in graphene grown by thermal decomposition of SiC. From the experimental results, we found that the quality of graphene on SiC have no significant difference with the other graphene growth techniques, while the defects of the SiC surface seemed to degrade the mobility. On the effect of the graphene/SiC interface, we performed the hydrogen intercalation experiments under high-pressure H_2 condition, and revealed the microscopic mechanism in the initial stage of the intercation. Based on the large-area graphene transfer technique, we also succeeded in the fabrication of the millimeter-scale twisted bilayer graphene and the observation of their electronic structure.

    In this study, growth of two-dimensional aluminum carbide was demonstrated. As a result of the first-principles calculation, two-dimensional aluminum carbide (AlCene) was a semiconductor with a indirect gap of about 2.18 eV. On the other hand, highly crystalline and extremely thin aluminum carbide was successfully grown on the SiC (000-1) substrate by the pulsed laser deposition technique. At the interface, the carbon atoms of the topmost SiC surface and the aluminum atoms of the aluminum carbide made bonds, which was revealed by high-resolution transmission electron microscope observations.

    In this research project, I aimed to grow graphene with various properties by thermal decomposition of the carbide thin film grown on the SiC substrate. For example, graphene grown from the aluminum carbide on SiC was suggested to be aluminum-doped. As another example, graphene grown from the boron carbide on SiC was characterized by heavy boron-doping and the spin glass behavior was observed. Thus, graphene grown by thermal decomposition of the carbide film is a promising technique to obtain graphene with the novel structures and properties.

    　View Summary

    To develop low-cost carbon nanotubes with high specific surface area and without catalytic metals, we investigated the synthetic condition of aligned and dense carbon nanotubes by the surface decomposition of SiC particles. First, it was revealed that the carbon nanotubes were synthesized in a simple and easy alumina tubular furnace. It was also confirmed that flowing adequate amount of oxygen gas into the furnace for some amounts of SiC particles and rotating the tubular carbon case supporting SiC samples to mixing them with an adequate rotation rate increased effectively the formation rate of the carbon nanotubes.

    For applying layered double hydroxide (LDH) with anion-exchangeable ability to water purification process, both anion exchange reaction experiments and crystal structure analysis of LDH consisting of Mg and Al (Mg/Al = 2), and Ni and Al (Ni/Al =2, 3, 4)synthesized by hydrothermal method were investigated. It could be found that Ni/Al ratio had remarkable influence on nitrate selectivity of Ni/Al-LDH. Moreover, it could be found that his remarkable nitrate selectivity could be caused by the difference of movability of incorporated anions in interlayer spaece.

  • 遷移金属炭化物を用いた2次元物質の結晶成長と新機能開拓

    2023  

    　View Summary

    　2次元材料である遷移金属ダイカルコゲナイド（TMD）は、次世代半導体材料として期待されている。本研究では、TMDの結晶成長における新技術として、遷移金属炭化物（TMC）を原料とする手法の開拓を目指している。具体的には、SiC単結晶基板上にTMCをエピタキシャル成長させ、そのTMC薄膜にカルコゲンを添加することにより、TMD/TMCヘテロ構造を作製する。近年、TMC自体もトポロジカル半金属やトポロジカル超伝導体の候補として注目されている。すなわち、2次元TMD/3次元TMCヘテロ構造によって、両者の持つ特異な電子状態や物性を掛け合わせることで、新機能の探索を目指す。2023年度には、SiC単結晶基板上に炭化タングステン（WC）薄膜を形成し、カルコゲンとしてSeを添加することで、高品質なWSe2の結晶成長を目指して実験を行った。具体的にはまず、パルスレーザー堆積法を用いてWC薄膜を形成した。基板温度1100℃、1x10^-5Pa程度において、比較的結晶性が良く、表面も平坦なWC薄膜が得られることがわかった。続いて、このWC薄膜に対してSe化処理を行うための装置を作製した。ロータリーポンプにより真空引きのできる管状炉を用いて、窒素ガスを流しながら、WC/SiC試料とSe粉末を同時に加熱した。加熱温度は500℃以上とし、昇華したSeがWC/SiC基板上に堆積してWSe2形成反応を起こすことを期待した。得られた試料に対してX線光電子分光測定およびラマン分光測定を行ったところ、基板表面上にSeは検出されたものの、WSe2由来のラマンピークは検出されなかった。すなわち、今回の条件ではWSe2は形成されないことが示唆される。今後は、窒素ガスの代わりにAr/H2ガスもしくは真空中での加熱を行うことで、WSe2形成を試みるとともに、NbSe2/NbCヘテロ構造の作製も目指して実験を行う。

  • 強相関電子系マンガン酸化物における相転移の結晶学的研究

    2005  

    　View Summary

    　強相関電子系として特徴づけられるマンガン酸化物の中で、層状ペロブスカイトSr2-xLaxMnO4では、その結晶構造の2次元性を反映した電子状態および物性の出現が予想される。我々は、これまでにSr2-xLaxMnO4の結晶学的特徴を調べ、eg電子濃度に対応するLa置換量xの増加に伴い、その基底状態が正方晶相からx=0.15付近で斜方晶相、0.2≦x≦0.5では電荷・軌道整列相へと変化することを報告している。このことは、電荷・軌道整列の無秩序相と秩序相の間に中間相が存在することを示している。そこで本研究では、中間相としての斜方晶相における電荷・軌道状態を明らかにするため、その格子系の応答である結晶学的特徴について主に透過型電子顕微鏡を用いた低温その場観察により調べた。　本研究では、固相法およびクエン酸共沈法を用いて0.08≦x≦0.25のSr2-xLaxMnO4試料を作製した。得られた試料の結晶学的特徴については、室温から12Kの各温度における電子回折図形および明・暗視野像を透過型電子顕微鏡で撮影することにより明らかにした。　本観察から、x=0.15試料の250K付近において高温正方晶相から斜方晶相への構造相転移、および斜方晶相の分域構造が斜方晶度の異なる2つのバリアントOIとOIIの交互配列からなることを確認した。そこで分域構造の形成過程を調べたところ、まず高温正方晶領域内に大きさ10nm程度の斜方晶バリアントOI斑点状領域が出現、一方向に配列することにより斜方晶バリアントOIと正方晶領域の交互配列した2相共存状態を生むことが分った。さらにこの正方晶領域は斜方晶バリアントOIIへと変化し、2つの斜方晶バリアントから成る分域構造が出現した。このことは、斜方晶相出現での主秩序パラメータが、自発歪みではなく、軌道自由度に関係したヤーン・テラー変位であることを示唆している。
