Nanoparticle size and morphology control using ultrafast laser induced forward transfer of Ni thin films

Journal Article Murphy, Ryan D. ; Abere, Michael J. ; Schrider, Keegan J. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We have developed a nanoparticle (NP) printing technique using Ni thin film lift-off from glass substrates after ultrafast irradiation in air. Unique interactions of ultrafast laser pulses with thin films allow for control over NP faceting and size distributions. Control is achieved by changing the laser fluence, film thickness, and film-substrate distance. We demonstrate 20 nm Ni film removal from substrates and rapid NP printing, with size distributions centered at a 6 nm diameter. When the Ni film thickness is lowered to 10 nm, NPs are printed with distributions peaked at a 2 nm diameter.

Polythiophene thin films by surface-initiated polymerization: Mechanistic and structural studies

Journal Article Youm, Sang Gil ; Hwang, Euiyong ; Chavez, Carlos A. ; ... - Chemistry of Materials

The ability to control nanoscale morphology and molecular organization in organic semiconducting polymer thin films is an important prerequisite for enhancing the efficiency of organic thin-film devices including organic light-emitting and photovoltaic devices. The current “top-down” paradigm for making such devices is based on utilizing solution-based processing (e.g., spin-casting) of soluble semiconducting polymers. This approach typically provides only modest control over nanoscale molecular organization and polymer chain alignment. A promising alternative to using solutions of presynthesized semiconducting polymers pursues instead a “bottom-up” approach to prepare surface-grafted semiconducting polymer thin films by surface-initiated polymerization of small-molecule monomers. Herein, we describe themore »« less

Nanoparticle generation and transport resulting from femtosecond laser ablation of ultrathin metal films: Time-resolved measurements and molecular dynamics simulations

Journal Article Rouleau, C. M., E-mail: rouleaucm@ornl.gov ; Puretzky, A. A. ; Geohegan, D. B. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

The synthesis of metal nanoparticles by ultrafast laser ablation of nanometers-thick metal films has been studied experimentally and computationally. Near-threshold backside laser ablation of 2–20 nm-thick Pt films deposited on fused silica substrates was found to produce nanoparticles with size distributions that were bimodal for the thicker films, but collapsed into a single mode distribution for the thinnest film. Time-resolved imaging of blackbody emission from the Pt nanoparticles was used to reveal the nanoparticle propagation dynamics and estimate their temperatures. The observed nanoparticle plume was compact and highly forward-directed with a well-defined collective velocity that permitted multiple rebounds with substrates tomore »« less

Supersonic jet deposition of silver nanoparticle aerosols: Correlations of impact conditions and film morphologies

Journal Article Huang, Chong ; Nichols, William T. ; O'Brien, Daniel T. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

We describe experiments and modeling for the deposition of silver lines and films via the impaction of a silver nanoparticle aerosol delivered through a supersonic jet. The aerosol gas dynamics of the jet flow field, nanoparticle acceleration in the jet, and deposition by impaction onto the substrate were modeled for both a flat-plate nozzle and for a conical nozzle designed to obtain higher impaction velocities. We modeled nanoparticle dynamics for He, Ar, and N{sub 2} gasses, all initially at room temperature and 1 atm pressure, flowing through a 250 {mu}m orifice into vacuum with a pressure ratio of {approx}5000.

Crystal Growth in Alumina/poly(ethylene terephthalate) Nanocomposite Films

Journal Article Yang,H. ; Bhimaraj, P. ; Yang, L. ; ... - Journal of Polymer Science Part B: Polymer Physics

The crystal growth and morphology in 150-nm-thick PET nanocomposite thin films with alumina (Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}) nanoparticle fillers (38 nm size) were investigated for nanoparticle loadings from 0 to 5 wt%. Transmission electron microscopy of the films showed that at 1 wt% Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}, the nanoparticles were well dispersed in the film and the average size was close to the reported 38 nm. Above 2 wt% Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}, the nanoparticles started to agglomerate. The crystal growth and morphological evolution in the PET nanocomposite films kept at an isothermal temperature of 217 C were monitored as a function ofmore »« less
