摘要
The potential of atomic layer deposition (ALD) for tuning the pore size of cage-like, or ink-bottle shaped, mesopores at the atomic level, was explored. ALD was used to deposit ultrathin TiO 2 and HfO 2 layers in a mesoporous titania film containing ink-bottle shaped pores. The mesoporous titania thin film was coated with HfO 2 using ALD, and Hf-uptake per ALD cycle was monitored in situ by the Hf Lα fluorescent signal. The results show that the pores are ink-bottle shaped, but with cages that are far from spherical and that the HfO 2 coating is uniformly deposited throughout the whole mesoporous film. The HfO 2 thickness that seems to clog the pore necks, 2.2 ∓ 0.5 nm, is in good agreement with the value expected based on the EP measurements. The electron tomography study also confirms that the cages are not completely filled with HfO 2, as expected based on the ink-bottle shape of the pores.
