摘要
Fe2O3 nanostructures are fabricated on Si(100) and SiO2 by plasma enhanced (PE) CVD from a Fe-III beta-diketonate precursor. Depositions are carried out in Ar-O-2 plasmas, devoting particular attention to the influence of growth temperature (from 60 to 400 degrees C) on material chemico-physical properties. Remarkably, high purity, single-phase alpha-Fe2O3 nanostructures are obtained at temperatures as low as 60 degrees C. Furthermore, the deposit nano- organization can be tuned from < 110 >-oriented 2D nanoblade arrays to denser nanocolumns upon increasing the deposition temperature. A possible growth model is proposed to account for the observed structural/morphological features and light absorption properties of the target materials.
