Abstract: Synthesis and characterization of Ga-doped ZnO nanodisk and the formation of nanodisk/nanorod hybrid morphologies on AlN/Si substrate by polymer assisted one-pothydrothermal process have been studied. The morphology and structural properties were determined by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and X-ray diffraction techniques. FESEM images clearly confirm the pure nanodisk formation for Ga-ZnO(0.5) at optimized ZnO concentration and hybrid nanodisk/nanorod formation obtained for Ga-ZnO (0.2) at lower ZnO concentration. The pure Ga-ZnO (0.5) nanodisk on AlN/Si thin film substrate showed effective response and fast recovery time towards UV light sensing in dark condition compared to low concentration route preparedGa-ZnO (0.2)/AlN/Si sample.

Abstract: The Al2O3 nano-films of different thicknesses (1~100nm) were successfully deposited on the monocrystalline Si surface by using ion beam sputtering deposition. The surface topography and the component of nano-films with different thickness were analyzed. The quality of the surface of nano-films was systematically studied. When the films’ thickness increase, the studies by atomic force microscope (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectrum（XPS） show that the gathering grain continually grows up and transits from acerose cellula by two-dimensional growth to globularity by three-dimensional growth. The elements O, Al and Si were found on the surface of Al2O3 nano-films. With the thickness of the films increasing, the content of Al gradually increases and the intensity peak of Si wears off, the surface quality of the deposited films is ceaselessly improved

Abstract: There are presented core-level 3s X-ray photoelectron spectra of some 3d oxides. The possibility to extract additional information on intra- and interatomic exchange effects from 3s X-ray photoelectron spectra is demonstrated. The results pointed to the possibility of using X-ray photoelectron 3s spectra for estimation of local spin magnetic moments localized on 3d elements in manganese and iron oxides. We have found that for doped manganites, the Mn formal valency from 3+ to 3.3+ is not accompanied by any decrease in the Mn 3s splitting. This fact can be explained by the holes in the O 2p states (d4L ground-state configuration). For Cu, Ni, and Co oxides, the charge-transfer effect dominates the multiplet effect in the 3s spectra which allows to estimate the occupancy of 3d states.

Abstract: The silk fabric was chemically modified with 3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl dodecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (HSQA), a cationic modifying agent, to promote antibacterial property against S. aureus and E. coli. The dyeing and colorfastness properties of modified fabrics with commercial synthetic dyes, that is, acid and reactive dyes were also improved. The modified silk fabrics also exhibited some improved resiliency. Therefore, the wear properties of fabrics were expected to be improved by the technique of modification. However, the modification caused a slight decrease in the tensile strength of silk fabrics, as well as the whiteness and wettability because of introducing hydrophobic siloxane chains into amorphous regions of silk fibroin. The surface structure of modified silk fiber was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) and FT-IR spectra. Key words: Silk fabric; multiple-function; Wear property; antibacterial property; X-ray photoelectron spectrum; FT-IR spectrum
