Title: Self-Assembled Ordered Three-Phase Au-BaTiO3 -ZnO Vertically Aligned Nanocomposites Achieved by a Templating Method

Abstract

Complex multiphase nanocomposite designs present enormous opportunities for developing next-generation integrated photonic and electronic devices. Here, a unique three-phase nanostructure combining a ferroelectric BaTiO3, a wide-bandgap semiconductor of ZnO, and a plasmonic metal of Au toward multifunctionalities is demonstrated. By a novel two-step templated growth, a highly ordered Au–BaTiO3–ZnO nanocomposite in a unique “nanoman”-like form, i.e., self-assembled ZnO nanopillars and Au nanopillars in a BaTiO3 matrix, is realized, and is very different from the random three-phase ones with randomly arranged Au nanoparticles and ZnO nanopillars in the BaTiO3 matrix. The ordered three-phase “nanoman”-like structure provides unique functionalities such as obvious hyperbolic dispersion in the visible and near-infrared regime enabled by the highly anisotropic nanostructures compared to other random structures. Such a self-assembled and ordered three-phase nanocomposite is obtained through a combination of vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) and two-phase epitaxy growth mechanisms. In this study, we open up new possibilities in the design, growth, and application of multiphase structures and provides a new approach to engineer the ordering of complex nanocomposite systems with unprecedented control over electron–light–matter interactions at the nanoscale.

Figure 1 Figure 1: Growth mechanism schematic of (a) two-phase BTO-ZnO vertically aligned nanocomposite (VAN), (b) random three-phase Au-BTO-ZnO, and (c) ordered three-phase Au-BTO-ZnO. In (a), regions of BTO and ZnO get nucleated aside each other giving rise to a self-assembled BTO-ZnO VAN. (b) shows three separate regions of nucleation for Au,more » BTO and ZnO. (c) shows the two step growth of ordered three phase nanocomposite. Au NPs are capped at the end of ZnO pillars giving rise to the ordered three-phase ‘nanoman’ structure.« less
