Item PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF Ga 2O 3 AND GaN NANOPARTICLES(SPIE, 2015) Rusu, Emil; Ursachi, Veaceslav; Raevschi, Simion; Vlazan, PaulinaIn this communication, we present results on preparation of GaN nanoparticles by conversion of Ga 2O 3 nanocrystals in a flow of NH 3 and H 2. The monoclinic Ga2O 3 nanoparticles have been prepared by hydrothermal method with gallium nitrate and sodium hydroxide as precursors. Ga2O 3 nanowires are produced with increasing the duration of the hydrothermal process up to 24 hours. The production of β-phase Ga2O 3 has been confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. According to XRD, Raman and FTIR spectra, wurtzite type GaN nanocrystals with an average size of 28.6 nm are obtained by nitridation of Ga2O3 nanoparticles. Doping of Ga2O 3 nanomaterial with Eu 3+ ions in the hydrothermal process is demonstrated, and the emission spectra of this Eu-doped nanomaterial are compared with those of Eu-doped nanoparticles prepared previously by solid state reactions.Item AERO-Ga2O3 NANOMATERIAL ELECTROMAGNETICALLY TRANSPARENT FROM MICROWAVES TO TERAHERTZ FOR INTERNET OF THINGS APPLICATIONS(2020) Braniște, Tudor; Dragoman, Mircea; Jucov, Serghei; Aldrigo, Martino; Ciobanu, Vladimir; Iordănescu, Sergiu; Alîabîeva, Liudmila; Fumagalli, Francesco; Ceccone, Giacomo; Raevschi, Simion; Schűtt, Fabian; Adelung, Rainer; Colpo, Pascal; Gorșunov, Boris; Tighineanu, IonIn this paper, fabrication of a new material is reported, the so-called Aero-Ga2O3 or Aerogallox, which represents an ultra-porous and ultra-lightweight three-dimensional architecture made from interconnected microtubes of gallium oxide with nanometer thin walls. The material is fabricated using epitaxial growth of an ultrathin layer of gallium nitride on zinc oxide microtetrapods fabricated using epitaxial growth of an ultrathin layer of gallium nitride on zinc oxide microtetrapods followed by decomposition of sacrificial ZnO and oxidation of GaN which according to the results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) characterizations, is transformed gradually in β-Ga2O3 with almost stoichiometric composition. The investigations show that the developed ultra-porous Aerogallox exhibits extremely low reflectivity and high transmissivity in an ultrabroadband electromagnetic spectrum ranging from X-band (8–12 GHz) to several terahertz which opens possibilities for quite new applications of gallium oxide, previously not anticipated.Item AERO-TiO2 PREPARED ON THE BASIS OF NETWORKS OF ZnO TETRAPODS(2022) Ciobanu, Vladimir; Ursachi, Veaceslav; Lehmann, Sebastian; Braniște, Tudor; Raevschi, Simion; Zamalai, Victor V.; Monaico, Eduard V.; Colpo, Pascal; Nielsch, Kornelius; Tighineanu, IonIn this paper, new aeromaterials are proposed on the basis of titania thin films deposited using atomic layer deposition (ALD) on a sacrificial network of ZnO microtetrapods. The technol-ogy consists of two technological steps applied after ALD, namely, thermal treatment at different temperatures and etching of the sacrificial template. Two procedures are applied for etching, one of which is wet etching in a citric acid aqua solution, while the other one is etching in a hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) system with HCl and hydrogen chemicals. The morphology, composition, and crystal structure of the produced aeromaterials are investigated depending on the temperature of annealing and the sequence of the technological steps. The performed photoluminescence analysis suggests that the developed aeromaterials are potential candidates for photocatalytic applications.Item SELF-PROPELLED AERO-GaN BASED LIQUID MARBLES EXHIBITING PULSED ROTATION ON THE WATER SURFACE(2021) Braniște, Tudor; Ciobanu, Vladimir; Schűtt, Fabian; Mimura, Hidenori; Raevschi, Simion; Adelung, Rainer; Pugno, Nicola M.; Tighineanu, IonWe report on self-propelled rotating liquid marbles fabricated using droplets of alcoholic solution encapsulated in hollow microtetrapods of GaN with hydrophilic free ends of their arms and hydrophobic lateral walls. Apart from stationary rotation, elongated-spheroid-like liquid marbles were found, for the first time, to exhibit pulsed rotation on water surfaces characterized by a threshold speed of rotation, which increased with the weight of the liquid marble while the frequency of pulses proved to decrease. To throw light upon the unusual behavior of the developed self-propelled liquid marbles, we propose a model which takes into account skimming of the liquid marbles over the water surface similar to that inherent to flying water lily beetle and the so-called helicopter effect, causing a liquid marble to rise above the level of the water surface when rotating.Item PHOTOLUMINESCENCE STUDY OF Eu-DOPED Ga2O3 AND GaN NANOWIRES AND NANOPARTICLES PRODUCED BY HYDROTHERMAL GROWTH(Editura "Tehnica-UTM", 2015-05-20) Rusu, Emil; Ursachi, Veaceslav; Culeac, Ion; Raevschi, Simion; Vlazan, PaulinaWe present results on preparation of Eu doped GaN nanoparticles and nanowires on the basis of Ga2O3 nanomaterial produced by hydrothermal growth.

The monoclinic Ga2O3 nanoparticles and nanowires have been prepared with gallium nitrate and sodium hydroxide as precursors. The geometrical form on the nanomaterial is determined by the duration of the hydrothermal process. The Ga2O3 nanomaterial is transformed unto GaN nanoparticles and nanowires by nitridation in a flow of NH3 and H2. The photoluminescence properties Eu doped Ga2O3 and GaN nanomaterial are investigated under pulsed and continuum wave excitation.

The influence of postdeposition vacuum annealing on the structure, morphology and optical properties was studied by X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy and UV–VIS spectroscopy. The thermal vacuum annealing induces structural and morphological changes, especially in Al-doped ZnO thin films synthetized in oxygen atmosphere. Further on, the electrical conductivity in dependence of the nature of gas atmosphere and Al concentration is discussed.Item THE CARACTERIZATION OF THE CdS-BASED SOLAR CELL HETEROJUNCTIONS(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2010-10-11) Potlog, Tamara; Botnariuc, Vasile; Gorceac, Leonid; Spalatu, Nicolae; Maticiuc, Natalia; Raevschi, SimionThe CdS-based solar cell heterojunctions (HJ) have been obtained by growth of CdS at relatively lower temperature using the close space sublimation method(CSS). Investigation of the photovoltaic characteristics shows an efficiency of about 12 % for InP/CdS and 9.6 % for CdS/CdTe solar cell HJ. The analysis of the forward dark current-voltage and the capacitance-voltage characteristics indicate a tunnelling recombination current which flows through states near or at the interfaces of a thermal energy of about 0.62 eV for CdS/CdTe and 0.42 eV for InP/CdS solar cell heterojunctions. The solar energy conversion efficiency is influenced by the interface states through the open circuit voltage and the fill factor.Item ABOUT THE EDGE LUMINESCENCE OF CADMIUM SULPHIDE THIN LAYERS GROWN ON MOLYBDENUM(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 1995-11-11) Raevschi, Simion; Gorceac, Leonid; Coval, Andrei; Chetruș, PetruCdS layers on to molybdenum were synthesized from separate elements in an open flowing hydrogen set.

XRD studies revealed that all films were polycrystalline in nature, with a hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure and a predominant (002) c-axis orientation. All ZnO:Ga thin films had higher than 80 % transmittances in the visible region. Doping with 2% Ga led to a decrease in the optical band gap indifferent of the nature of the carrier gas. The synthesis of ZnO thin films with 2% Ga doping and annealing in the same conditions in Ar and O2 atmospheres led to the lower conductivity with electron concentration of 1016 cm−3.
