ABSTRACT

2

Highly oriented, regularly assembled nanocrystalline films have recently emerged as

3

attractive new functional materials. In this study, we deposited a BaTiO3 (BT) nanocube dispersion

4

on a Si substrate by electrospraying, resulting in a dense, regularly assembled BT nanocrystalline film.

5

X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that applying a voltage between the electrospray nozzle

6

and the Si substrate during electrospraying caused the BT nanocubes to form a regular array in the

7

200 plane aligned perpendicularly to the substrate. The volume fraction of BT nanocubes in the 200

8

plane in the assembly was estimated by orientation distribution function (ODF) analysis to be about

9

50%. The formation of this regularly assembled layer was determined to be linked to the interaction

10

between the vaporized solvent and the substrate, enabled by the enhanced wettability under the electric

11

field. Electrospray deposition has potential applications in the manufacture of nanocrystalline

12

assembled films for nanofunctional devices.

INTRODUCTION

2

Various colloidal nanocrystals (NCs), such as metals, metal oxides, and chalcogenides, have

3

been synthesized with tight control of particle size and shape through the employment of advanced

4

synthesis technology [1-4]. Recently, the development of self-assembly processes for NCs has made

5

them particularly attractive for use in electrical, dielectric, semiconductor, and magnetic devices [5-

6

7]. Indeed, novel two- and three-dimensional regular self-assembled NC structures have the potential

7

to be new functional materials. For example, the application of a regular self-assembled film of Co

8

nanorods formed on a substrate yielded a high-density magnetic recording device with capacities above

9

10 Tbits/in2. [8]. Employment of aligned CdSe/CdS nanorod assemblies in photo-electrical devices

10

has also been suggested [9]. The dielectric constant (r > 3000) of a regular cube-like BaTiO3

11

nanocrystal (BT nanocube) assembly is higher than that of a single BaTiO3 crystal [10]. Thus, the

12

fabrication of self-assembled BT nanocrystal films and the mechanism responsible for the higher

13

dielectric constant of BT nanocubes have been of interest [11, 12].

14

The phenomenon of nanocrystal self-assembly is thought to be caused by interactions induced

15

by van der Waals, Coulombic, and capillary forces, such as those present during the evaporation of

16

solvents. Self-assembly of NCs has been observed during typical solution based processes, such as

17

dip-coating [13], the Langmuir–Blodgett technique [14], and the spin-coating method [15]. On the

18

other hand, formation of an oriented assembly layer of NCs can occur on a substrate with assistance

19

from an external electric field [16]. For instance, CdS and CdSe nanorods form anisotropic assemblies 3 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

owing to dipole moments exhibited along the electric fields of their crystals [17, 18]. In addition,

2

ferroelectric nanoparticles such as BaTiO3 can be oriented in an organized structure by an external

3

electric field [19]. However, fabrication of a film comprising an oriented BaTiO3 nanocrystal assembly

4

has not been reported. In order to employ a semiconductor NC in a functional device, it is important

5

to obtain a densely packed and highly oriented assembled nanocrystalline film.

6

One of the techniques used to fabricate dense thin films using wet-chemical process is

7

electrospray deposition [20-22]. Recently, the assembly of nanoparticles using electrospray deposition

8

has been studied. For instance, Nie et al. reported a Langmuir–Blodgett-type assembly on water by

9

electrospraying [23], and Ghafouri et al. stated that electrospraying may provide the capability for

10

building monolayer assemblies [24]. In this study, we investigated a fabrication route for self-

11

assembled BT nanocube films using electrospray deposition. By applying a voltage between the

12

electrospray nozzle and a Si substrate, a packed and regularly assembled BT nanocube layer was

13

formed on the substrate with a perpendicular orientation.

Assembly of BaTiO3 nanocrystal using electrospray

3

BT NCs were synthesized using a typical hydrothermal method described elsewhere [25],

4

then dispersed in methylene to obtain a dispersion of BT nanocubes at a concentration of about 0.3

5

mg/mL. The NCs had a cubic-like structure with each side about 20 nm in length, as measured by

6

transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Electrospray deposition was carried out using the process

7

followed in a previous study [20]. A vertical cold-wall-type CVD chamber combined with an

8

electrostatic atomizer was used for the deposition, as shown in Figure S1. The dispersion was fed into

9

a stainless-steel nozzle via a syringe pump and atomized by applying a DC voltage from +4 kV to 12

10

kV to attain electrostatic atomization. In this study, voltages of 0 kV,-2 kV, and -4 kV were applied to

11

the sample stage on which the substrate was placed. The sample stage was heated to 60 °C, and then

12

the BT nanocube dispersion was deposited onto the substrate by electrospraying for 60 s. The voltage

13

was sustained until the solvent had evaporated completely. After the deposition, the film was heated

14

under atmospheric pressure at 350 °C for 2 h to remove the organic component.

The morphologies of the films were examined using field emission scanning electron

the deposited films were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis using a diffractometer 5 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

equipped with a Cu K radiation source (RINT2000, Rigaku, Tokyo, Japan). Orientation distribution

2

function (ODF) analysis was performed with the arbitrarily defined cell (ADC) method [26, 27] in

3

conjunction with a software package (LaboTex 3.0, LaboSoft s.c., Krakow, Poland). For ODF analysis,

4

the tilt was varied from 15° to 90° in steps of 5°, while the angle of rotation was varied from 0° to 360°

5

in steps of 5°. Three incomplete pole figures, namely {110}, (111), and {200}, were measured to avoid

6

the diffraction peak of the Si substrate. The volume fractions (Vf) were calculated using the ODF

7

within a 10° distance in Euler space from the ideal component.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

10

The SEM images in Figure 1 show the surface morphologies of the assembled BT nanocube

11

films deposited by electrospraying under various applied voltages. When a voltage of (a) +4 kV or (b)

12

+8 kV was applied to the nozzle, we observed locally self-assembled BT nanocube structures in the

13

~100 nm range. However, when a higher voltage of around +12 kV was applied, no assembly layer

14

was formed owing to the discharge of electricity. On the other hand, BT nanocubes formed densely

15

packed regular assemblies in the few-micrometer range when a positive voltage was applied to the

16

nozzle (+4 kV) and a negative voltage (–4 kV) to the substrate. The thickness of the film formed under

17

this condition was estimated to be 500 nm, as shown in Figure S2 (SI).

18

In order to evaluate the compactness of the assemblies, we used SEM binary images (Figure

19

S3, SI) to estimate their apparent densities from gaps in the measurement areas. Table 1 lists 6 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

representative apparent densities estimated from the binary images of films deposited under several

applied voltage conditions. The apparent densities of the films deposited without voltage applied to

the substrate (i.e., grounded) were relatively low, at about 80 %. On the other hand, the films deposited

with voltage applied to the substrate had relatively high apparent densities of over 90 %.

In order to understand how the BT nanocube assemblies formed, we electrosprayed BT

11

nanocube dispersions onto substrates for different durations. The SEM images in Figure 2 show how

12

the surface morphology of the assembled nanocube layer progresses with deposition time. Soon after

13

the deposition started at 10 s, the nanocubes aggregated and formed staircase-like structures on the

14

edge of the substrate. The assembly gradually grew out from the edge of the substrate, until a regular

15

assembly domain was formed with scaled regions of with a size of ~10 m. The cracks appear owing

16

to drying shrinkage as the solvent would be unlikely to evaporate until reaching the substrate, owing

17

to the relatively high boiling point of the dispersion used (~156 °C). On the other hand, when BT 7 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

nanocubes were deposited using ethanol, the microstructure had an irregular granular structure (Figure

2

S4). This is probably due to complete droplet evaporation prior to it reaching the substrate. The fact

3

that the droplet is able to reach the substrate before evaporating is one of the key enablers for the

4

formation of assembled films by electrospraying; a regular assembly was attained owing to the

5

shrinkage behavior of the vaporized droplets on the substrate. In addition, as the dispersion is subjected

6

to an electric field on the substrate, the attraction force between the nanoparticles is increased owing

7

to the distribution of the charge elements, which initiates the formation of a dense assembly at the

8

nanoscale [28].

9

XRD patterns of the assembled BT nanocube films deposited by electrospraying are shown

10

in Figure 3. The nanocubes were estimated to have a pseudocubic structure. When deposited without

11

voltage applied to the substrate, a slight {200} orientation was indicated in the pattern of the resulting

12

film, as shown in Figure 3(a). On the other hand, when voltage was applied to the substrate, orientation

13

along the {200} planes was clearly indicated. This can be seen in Figure 3(b). The diffraction profiles

14

of the {200} pole figures (Figure 4) show the pole densities in the center of each pole figure of the BT

15

nanocube assembly on the Si {111} substrate. These results indicate that the assemblies are oriented

16

in the {100} direction perpendicular to the substrate. The Vf values of the {200} films deposited

17

without and with −4 kV voltage applied to the substrate were estimated to be 18 % and 50 %,

18

respectively.

Based on the SEM and XRD results, we analyzed the mechanism behind the formation of the

2

BT nanocube regular assembly by electrospray deposition when applying a negative voltage to the

3

substrate. The schematic illustration in Figure 5 depicts how the nanocube assembly may have formed

4

during electrospraying. The spray of droplets causes the dispersion to be deposited incrementally onto

5

the substrate surface, producing a thin layer of liquid. When the liquid surface is exposed to an electric

6

field (i.e., when a negative voltage is applied to the substrate), the ferroelectric BT nanocubes assemble

7

on the edge of substrate owing to Marangoni flow. The Marangoni effect has been noted previously

8

during electrospray deposition under certain conditions [24]. We observed that wettability was

9

improved between a BT dispersion in water and the Si substrate when a voltage was applied to the

10

substrate (Figure S5). Therefore, self-assembly of BT nanocubes occurred from the edge of the

11

substrate owing to the change in surface tension induced by Marangoni flow, by exposing the liquid

12

phase to an electric field. On the other hand, it has been reported that BaTiO3 nanoparticles can be

13

arranged to a structure by an external electric field of 1 kV due to the ferroelectric character [19]. The

14

arrangement of nanoparticles was determined by the competition between the electric field and a

15

favorable interface energy. Hence, it is important to evaluate the domain structure of ferroelectric

16

BaTiO3 under an external electric field. In this paper, we described a nanoparticle array technology

17

using the electrospray technique. We will report on the orientation of the nanocube and the domain

18

structure of the sintered body, along with the evaluation results of its ferroelectricity, in the near future.

CONCLUSION

2

In this study, we deposited assembled nanocrystal films by electrospraying a BaTiO3

3

nanocube dispersion. When a DC voltage was applied between the electrospray nozzle and the Si

4

substrate, a dense film composed of regularly arranged BT nanocubes was deposited. The BT

5

nanocrystal film had a strong {200} orientation, as indicated by the pole density and a high diffraction

6

intensity of the {200} fraction. The volume fraction of {200} was estimated to be 50% by ODF

7

analysis. The regularly assembled layer was determined to be formed by the interaction between the

8

vaporized solvent and substrate under the electric field, induced by the wettability. It is concluded that

9

electrospray deposition is likely to be an effective deposition process for future nanomaterial devices.
