Xc. Wu et al., SYNTHESIS, STRUCTURE, AND OPTICAL-PROPERTIES OF NANOMETER-SIZED IN2O3CAPPED BY ANIONIC SURFACTANT, Journal of vacuum science & technology. B, Microelectronics and nanometer structures processing, measurement and phenomena, 15(6), 1997, pp. 1889-1892
In this article, nanometer-sized In2O3 organosol capped with a layer o
f anionic surfactants was prepared using microemulsion method. Its str
ucture and optical properties were investigated through transmission e
lectron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra, photolumin
escence spectra and Z-scan technique. It was found that the prepared I
n2O3 organosol showed a series of new optical properties, which can be
explained by its special oxygen vacancy structure. These new optical
properties enhance its applications in information optics. (C) 1997 Am
