Preface to Second Edition The primary purpose of this second edition of Inorganic Materials Chemistry Desk Reference remains its value as a resource to assist in the preparation of solid state inorganic materials by chemical processing techniques. The idea for a second edition was conceived several years ago in an effort to both add new chemical precursors available to the Materials Scientists and to include existing or emerging topics where materials chemistry plays an important role, such as microelectronics, surface science, and nanotechnology. Additions to Chapter 1 include discussion of the role of materials chemistry in micro- and nano-fabrication, surface materials chemistry, self-assembly, scanning probe microscopy, and carbon fullerenes. The glossary in Chapter 2 contains over 200 new definitions related to the aforementioned topics. Chapter 3 has been greatly expanded to include 50% more new chemical precursors and their properties. The reader is referred to the preface of the first edition (following page) for more information regarding this book. JRL would like to acknowledge D.

Preface to First Edition This Inorganic Materials Chemistry Desk Reference is meant to be a resource to assist in the preparation of solid state inorganic materials by chemical processing techniques. Ceramic materials can be prepared by a variety of chemical routes and this handbook provides a brief introduction to inorganic materials chemistry and these processing routes, along with definitions of most commonly used terms in the field. The focus of the desk reference is a compilation of property data on inorganic precursors and on inorganic solids to assist in the selection of candidate precursors and materials for a variety of applications. The idea for such a resource for inorganic materials chemistry was conceived from my personal experience with initiating new materials chemistry-related projects, all of which began by necessity with the painstaking effort required to collect relevant information from a multitude of sources, including textbooks, handbooks, journals, proceedings, and magazines. Beginning with my thesis and postdoctoral work on sol-gel processing at the University of Illinois with Professors W. G. Klemperer and D. A. Payne, I found myself devoting a considerable fraction of my efforts to collecting relevant information in the area of materials chemistry. During my work at Battelle in Columbus, Ohio, and subsequently following my move to the General Electric Corporate Research and Development Center, it was clear to my colleagues and to me that there is a pressing need for a resource that not only explains the terms frequently used in the inorganic materials chemistry field, but also provides data on the physical properties of the precursors available for use in chemical processing techniques. Such questions as “What precursor can I select to prepare this inorganic solid?” and “Which precursor (from the processing point of view) is suitable or viable for this process?” are the types of questions that scientists and engineers need quick answers to in order to initiate a successful materials chemistry project. This resource provides a rapid reference to help answer these and other such questions. In addition, it provides physical property data on inorganic solids to answer questions such as “What kind of properties should I expect from this or similar materials?” The desk reference begins with a general introduction to the area of inorganic materials chemistry with an emphasis on chemical processing routes. Several sources of additional information are provided for newcomers to the field and for the experienced practitioners as well. The second chapter provides a quick reference to many commonly used terms in the field of inorganic materials chemistry. The primary purpose of the desk reference, that of providing data on inorganic precursors and ceramic materials, is served in Chapter 3 and Chapter 4. The third chapter is a compilation of physical property data on various organometallic, metal organic, and inorganic salt precursors used in the processes described in Chapter 1. The fourth chapter consists of seven sections detailing physical property data on inorganic solids, including oxides, carbides, nitrides, borides, selenides, tellurides, and sulfides, among others. As with any new idea, this resource is a start at compiling and organizing the information currently available. A concerted effort has been made to include all of the relevant information referenced in the multitude of published sources. However, in an emerging area such as this, new processes and products are being invented and discovered every day making it impossible to include every piece of information. With time, as more relevant information is published, this desk reference will be expanded and revised. Suggestions and input from readers are welcome and will be acknowledged gratefully. I would like to acknowledge CRC Press for inviting me to write this book and Prof. Edwin Boyer for encouraging me to take on this project. I would also like to acknowledge the contributions of the technical reviewers in their reviews of various sections of this book. Helpful discussions with Drs. William McDonald, S. Venkataramani, and James Ruud are gratefully acknowledged. I would like to thank my husband, Dr. R. Mukund, for providing key suggestions and for providing editorial and moral support throughout the project. Finally, I would like to thank my daughter, Dipali, for going to sleep on time so I could get to work at night. D. Sangeeta

CHAPTER 1 Introduction to Inorganic Materials Chemistry I. INTRODUCTION Inorganic materials chemistry encompasses technologies that have traditionally existed in both inorganic chemistry and ceramics. Inorganic materials chemistry applies the expertise developed in inorganic chemistry to developing ceramic and glassy materials with improved properties and relative ease of processing. Growing acceptance in recent years of the importance of chemistry to materials preparation and processing has resulted in the recognition of materials chemistry as a distinct subdiscipline of chemistry. Materials chemistry in general can be defined as the chemical science that deals with the preparation, processing, and analysis of solid state materials. Inorganic materials chemistry, in particular, relates to the preparation, processing, and properties of inorganic materials, such as metal carbides, borides, nitrides, oxides, sulfides, selenides, tellurides, and their combinations.1 In contrast to conventional ceramic and glass processing, which require high temperatures and high pressures, inorganic materials chemistry involves preparation and processing of inorganic materials under relatively milder temperature and pressure conditions. The chemical route to ceramic materials can provide not only a milder route to ceramic and glassy materials, but also an opportunity to prepare unusual forms of existing materials such as epitaxial films, transparent films of otherwise opaque material, stable colloidal suspensions, submicron powders, and microporous membranes. Inorganic materials chemistry can also provide the opportunity to prepare novel multicomponent systems that are otherwise difficult to prepare by conventional techniques. Multicomponent systems such as Y, Ba, and Cu (1-2-3) oxide superconductors, for example, can be prepared in various forms, including films and powders prepared using novel chemical routes such as sol-gel and colloidal processing. Also, some materials, such as crystalline lead zirconate titanate [Pb(Zr,Ti)O3], which could previously be prepared only in a monolithic form or as single crystals, can now be fabricated using chemical processing techniques as polycrystalline films with properties similar to single crystals. The preparation and characterization of novel materials are currently the most popular research topics among the many areas of research in materials chemistry. Topics of interest include the development of precursors for glass, ceramic, metal, and semiconductor materials, wet chemical processing, gas phase film deposition and powder preparation, molecular, and micro- and macroscopic characterization of the resultant solid-state materials. The processing aspects of materials chemistry present the greatest opportunity for research and may deal with a variety of individual techniques, such as sol-gel processing, surface science, metal organic decomposition (MOD), metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), colloidal processing, and nanoscale materials synthesis.

INORGANIC MATERIALS CHEMISTRY DESK REFERENCE

Another important area of materials chemistry that is gaining interest is the study of the interaction between materials and their environment. These types of interactions can be characterized as corrosion, adhesion, oxidation, mechanical or chemical abrasion, thermal expansion, and chemical sensing processes. A complete understanding of such topics requires expertise in surface science, analytical chemistry, chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, and modeling of chemical processes. A common focus of such studies is the application of chemical methodologies to provide a molecular level understanding as well as improved control over the properties of the resultant materials and the interaction of these materials with the environment. Materials chemistry is also finding widespread application in areas with a strong surface science component including microelectronic processing of thin films, nanotechnology, and biotechnology. For example, new etching and cleaning solvents are being developed to assist in fabricating high aspect ratio microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), which may consist of micron-scale (and smaller) moving parts or channels to direct fluid flow across a substrate.

II. PREPARATION AND PROCESSING OF INORGANIC MATERIALS In this section, a variety of materials preparation and processing approaches to solid-state materials in various forms are described briefly. The types of processes discussed include the solgel process, colloidal processing, hydrothermal processing, freeze-drying, supercritical drying, MOD, MOCVD or CVD, and flame hydrolysis. Of these processes, sol-gel, colloidal, and hydrothermal processing are often referred to as wet chemical processing. A. Sol-Gel Process The sol-gel process is a wet chemical route to a variety of glass and ceramic compositions. It has been mainly used for compositions and forms such as certain multicomponent systems and films of specific compositions that are not easily available or possible by conventional ceramic processing methods. In the sol-gel process, the precursors are mixed to form sols (clear to cloudy) that undergo polymerization, forming a gel. By controlling reaction conditions such as solution pH, type of precursors and solvents, reaction temperature, and additives, a variety of physical forms can be produced including films, fibers, microspheres, and monoliths. For fabricating films or fibers, the viscous liquid is used for coating films or drawing fibers. The viscosity of the liquid is carefully controlled to provide the desired physical characteristics of the film or fiber. Fine ceramic powders are produced by the sol-gel process, sometimes referred as the gel precipitation process, by varying the reaction conditions, such as the solution pH and the type of solvent media used. Monoliths are normally prepared by drying the gel in a mold. The sol-gel process has advantages and disadvantages over conventional processes. Advantages include the ability to precisely control the stoichiometry, the possibility of producing multicomponent materials not previously available, and the ability to produce high-purity materials for electronics and optics without much investment in equipment. However, drawbacks of the sol-gel process include solvent waste, large-volume shrinkage during drying, and high precursor costs. For each application, the advantages and disadvantages of the sol-gel process must be considered in comparison with other processes. The use of sol-gel techniques for producing films has, in particular, generated considerable commercial interest because of the versatility of the process in producing multicomponent homogeneous compositions with ease and cost-effectiveness. Among ceramic compositions, oxides are the most common composition prepared by the solgel process, where the precursors are hydrolyzed in water and are air dried. A general sol-gel reaction to yield oxide systems with a single component where metal alkoxides are used as precursors is given below:

where R is an alkyl or aryl. The above reaction results from two intermediate reactions called hydrolysis and condensation, which can be represented by the following equations: M x ( OR ) y + H2 O → M x ( OR ) y−1 ( OH ) + ROH

hydrolysis:

condensation: M x ( OR ) y + M x ( OR ) y−1 ( OH ) → ( OR ) y−1 M x OM x ( OR ) y−1 + ROH or M x ( OR ) y−1 ( OH ) + M x ( OR ) y−1 ( OH ) → ( OR ) y−1 M x OM x ( OR ) y−1 + H2 O The above condensed species undergo further condensation during drying and heat-treatment processes, which results in the formation of oxides. Examples of such single-component oxide systems are 3 Si ( OCH3 )4 + 2 H2 O   → SiO2 + 4 CH3 OH

CH OH

The hydrolysis and condensation reactions can be represented by Si ( OCH3 )4 + H2 O → Si ( OCH3 )3 ( OH ) + CH3 OH Si ( OCH3 )4 + Si ( OCH3 )3 ( OH ) → ( OCH3 )3 SiOSi ( OCH3 )3 + CH3 OH Si ( OCH3 )3 ( OH ) + Si ( OCH3 )3 ( OH ) → ( OCH3 )3 SiOSi ( OCH3 )3 + H2 O Other materials such as sulfides and other chalcogenides can also be prepared by the above process, with H2S or thiols normally used as sulfidating agents to form the sulfides. Carbides and nitrides can be prepared by carefully selecting appropriate alkoxide and other precursors that decompose after polymerization into carbides and nitrides with minimal oxide impurities, under reducing or nitridating (ammonia) atmospheres. The preparation process for carbides, nitrides, and borides can also be classified as an MOD process, as described later in this section. A variety of precursors have been used in the sol-gel process, and their relevant physical properties are tabulated in Chapter 3. The properties of the end products, a variety of different glass or ceramic compositions, are categorized and listed in Chapter 4. Colloidal processing is a sol-gel process in which the starting material is a colloidal suspension instead of molecular precursors. This wet chemical method is used for preparing solid-state inorganic materials from a colloidal system with the size of the dispersed phase particles ranging between 1 nm and 1 µm in at least one dimension. In order to produce a stable colloidal suspension, dispersing agents are employed or the pH of the suspension is adjusted to finely disperse the colloidal particles. A number of materials have been prepared by the above method, including UO2–PuO2 nuclear fuel spheres produced from a stable suspension of uranyl nitrate, plutonium nitrate, a modifying agent, and a gelling agent. In this example, the suspension was gelled with ammonia, washed with water, and dried prior to sintering. This route is sometimes also referred to as a gel-precipitation route.

Other examples of colloidal processing include the preparation of monodispersed alumina and silica spheres or polydispersed titania and ceria powders from colloidal suspensions of their precursors. Fine ceramic particles can also be prepared by a sol-emulsion-gel process, in which the reactants are suspended as micelle2 in a nonmiscible solvent with the aid of a surfactant, and the droplets are then gelled to form ceramic particles. The particles are then isolated by conventional processing routes. The sol-emulsion-gel process can also be classified as a colloidal processing route. Fine zirconia particles in the range of 4 to 6 nm have been prepared by this process with ZrO(NO3)2 and NH3 reactants in xylene solvent. The zirconyl nitrate precursor was dissolved in water and dispersed in xylene using a surfactant, Tween 80. The droplets were then gelled with ammonia gas, and the resultant fine zirconia powder was separated by distillation and multiple solvent washing.3 B. Hydrothermal Process The hydrothermal process is a method of forming ceramic powders by heating and pressurizing solutions or suspensions of metal salts, oxides, hydroxides, or metal powders in water and, on occasion, in other solvents. The process is conducted in a pressure vessel called an autoclave. Normally, as the mixture is heated in this closed system, the pressure rises and these conditions result in the formation of submicron particles with controlled size and shapes.6 This route has been used to prepare a variety of monodispersed powders, materials with specific crystalline phases, and particles with controlled size and shapes, frequently at temperatures lower than those required in normal processing procedures. The hydrothermal process promotes the formation of monodispersed spheres by providing the appropriate conditions needed for homogenous nucleation. For example, monodispersed metal oxide powders are formed by homogeneous nucleation of metal hydroxide particles, which are produced by forced hydrolysis of metal alkoxides using heat and pressure in an autoclave. Forced hydrolysis is normally achieved by controlling the release of the precipitating ion. A route to yttrium-stabilized zirconia powder illustrates this concept. The reactants, yttrium chloride, zirconium oxychloride, and urea, CO(NH2)2, are mixed in an autoclave, in which the urea decomposes at temperatures between 160 and 220ºC under 5 to 7 MPa, releasing ammonia. The ammonia then reacts with the metal salts in water to form hydroxides. These hydroxides are then washed, dried, sintered, and crushed to form fine yttrium-stabilized zirconia powder.4 In other cases, the hydrothermal process can promote phase transformation. For example, tetragonal zirconia for structural applications can be prepared by such a process. Amorphous zirconia precipitated from ZrCl4 and NH4OH can be aged in an autoclave between 513 and 1093 K at 100 MPa pressure in water to form a tetragonal phase of zirconia in addition to the normal monoclinic phase.5 Metal oxides that cannot be prepared by normal oxidation of metals in an oxidizing atmosphere can also be prepared by hydrothermal processes. For example, hafnium (Hf) particles were only surface oxidized to HfO2 in water between 300 and 400ºC as a result of the formation of an oxide layer that protected the interior of the metal chips.6 However, under 50 to 150 MPa and between 300 and 700ºC in an autoclave, Hf was completely oxidized to HfO2. Complete oxidation occurs in the autoclave because the hydrides of hafnium are formed under the elevated temperature and pressure conditions, which then quickly convert to the hafnium oxide. C. Supercritical Drying Process The supercritical drying process is used for producing fine ceramic powders or monolithic materials with extremely high porosity. The supercritical drying process normally involves preparing a gel containing a large volume fraction of liquid, following which the liquid is removed above its



5

critical point (hence, no surface tension) without collapsing the solid state structure in the gel. As a result, a highly porous structure called an aerogel is formed that has intricate porosity. An extensive body of information on supercritical drying exists in the area of aerogels.7 As the term indicates, aerogels are solid-state structures when the pores are filled with air and are formed by replacing the liquid in a gel with air. Much of the research in this area has focused on silicatype aerogels in both monolithic and powder forms. Some silica aerogels have been prepared with porosities up to 99.99%.8 Silica gels are normally prepared using alkoxides: Si ( OR )4 + H2 O + ROH → SiO2 + ROH where R is an alkyl (CH3, C2H5, etc.). In the above sol-gel reaction, the only by-product is a liquid, an alcohol. The gel thus formed contains alcohol trapped in the silica solid-state network. If the liquid is removed by evaporating the alcohol, the solid-state structure would collapse from the capillary pressure developed as a result of the surface tension of the liquid. However, at or above the critical point of the liquid the surface tension of the liquid disappears. Hence, under supercritical conditions the liquid can be removed without collapsing the solid-state structure, thus forming a highly porous silica material with fine particles. The solid-state network is built up of these interconnected primary particles. Certain ceramic powders have been prepared by a supercritical method called rapid expansion of supercritical solutions. In this method,9 solute nucleation and condensation occur within an expanding supercritical jet. For example, SiO2 particles with diameters less than 5 µm were prepared by rapidly expanding a solution containing 3000 ppm of SiO2 soluble species at 743 K under 60 MPa through a 60-µm diameter stainless steel nozzle with flow rates of 0.7 cm3 s−1. The experimental conditions can be varied to change the resultant particle size. D. Freeze-Drying Process The freeze-drying process is used for preparing porous monolithic materials or unagglomerated powders. This process is similar to the supercritical drying process since the process also involves liquid removal from a mixture at zero surface tension without collapsing the structure. The liquid in the gel or a slurry is first frozen, then removed by the sublimation process without collapsing the structure. In the sublimation process, the frozen liquid converts to vapor without going through the liquid stage, thus avoiding surface tension–related capillary pressure. During the freezing process, however, some liquids undergo volume change, and the freezing process can therefore potentially damage the structure. As a result, this process is limited to preparing unagglomerated powders. A variety of oxide powders with narrow particle size ranges have been prepared by this method.9a E. Metal Organic Decomposition MOD is a material synthesis method in which metal organic compounds are decomposed to form a film, fiber, or powder without the use of vacuum or gel powder techniques. The precursors, metal organic compounds, used in the MOD process are coordinated covalent molecules with a metal atom bonded to an organic ligand via bridging oxygen, sulfur, phosphorus, or nitrogen atoms. For example, carboxylates, alkoxides, and thiolates are metal organic compounds that are frequently used as precursors to oxides and sulfides. Some of these precursors can be used to produce metal coatings by decomposing or heat-treating the precursor or its solution in a reducing environment (e.g., H2, N2, Ar, etc.). Nitride coatings can also be produced from precursors where the organic ligand is bonded to the metal atom via a nitrogen atom. Nitride coatings produced by this process contain carbon impurities that can be minimized by heat-treating the material under an ammonia or nitrogen atmosphere.


6


A similar process is used to prepare metal films or metal carbide films from organometallic precursors where the organic ligand is bonded to the metal directly via a carbon atom. The compounds with aryl or alkyl ligands bonded to the metal atom are suitable precursors for metal carbide–type coatings. For example, a carbosilane oligomer mixture (e.g., [–(R)2Si–CH2–Si(R)2–CH2–]n) with an Si–C backbone, dissolved in a solvent is deposited on a substrate and heat-treated from 600 to 800ºC under argon to form an SiC film. When polymers are used in this process instead of compounds or molecules, it is referred to as polymer pyrolysis. For example, polysilanes, polycarbosilanes, and polysilazanes can be pyrolyzed to form fibers or coatings of silicon carbide or silicon carbonitride.10 Metal coatings (e.g., platinum) can be prepared from organometallic precursors in reducing atmospheres by MOD. The precursors normally selected for this process should decompose without evaporating, melting, or leaving a carbon residue. To minimize volume change, precursors must also have a high metal content and a high char yield. Solid precursors require high solubility in the chosen solvent. The compounds must be stable under ambient conditions, with minimum sensitivity to air or moisture. Compatibility between the decomposition temperatures of precursors in a multicomponent system is also desirable. From a processing perspective, it is also desirable that the decomposition of the precursors not result in the formation of toxic gases. Considering the above requirements, precursors with carboxylate ligands with or without alkoxide or amide ligands are typically suitable.11 MOD should not be confused with the MOCVD method of depositing film from gases or vaporized liquid precursors under vacuum conditions.12 The techniques used for depositing and curing the films in MOD are similar to the techniques used for photoresist coating or screen printing in the electronics industry. Factors critical to achieving uniform continuous films include substrate wettability, solution or liquid viscosity, solvent type, and the curing mechanisms needed to convert an amorphous film to a crystalline film. The solutions are normally filtered to remove any particles that may cause defects in the film. The curing or pyrolysis methods used in the process can alter the crystalline phase, the grain size, and the resultant properties of the film. Nonconventional curing techniques, such as rapid thermal annealing, electron beam annealing, and lasers, have been used to alter the physical properties of the film. Compositions such as BaTiO3, SrTiO3, PbTiO3, ITO (indium-tin oxide), SnOx, YBa2Cu3O7, Pt, Au, Ag, and Pd have been deposited as films on a variety of substrates using the MOD method. Coating compositions containing dopants have also been prepared by this method. MOD has been successfully used in composite preparation. For example, SiC composites are prepared by impregnating the preforms with carbosilane polymers, which are then decomposed to yield silicon carbide. F.

Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition

The MOCVD process is a type of CVD technique in which metal organic compounds, often in combination with hydrides or other reactants, are used as volatile precursors to deposit coatings on substrates. The CVD process is a method used to fabricate films or to coat particles in a fluidized bed, where the chemical constituents react near or on the heated surface. CVD utilizes volatile precursors capable of evaporating without decomposition. In contrast to the established CVD precursors, the MOCVD precursors typically vaporize at much lower temperatures. In most cases, MOCVD reactions occur in the 500 to 1000ºC temperature range and at pressures ranging from 1 torr to atmospheric pressure, whereas the conventional precursors for CVD require at least 900ºC temperatures.13 Recently, research has shown that some metal organic precursors can be decomposed at even lower temperatures.13a The precursors used in MOCVD can also be activated by plasma by using electromagnetic radiation, which is particularly useful in systems with heat-sensitive substrates or surfaces. The thermal activation process, however, is the most commonly used method of activating precursors. The chemical reactions occurring during the MOCVD process may include thermal decomposition



7

(pyrolysis), reduction, hydrolysis, disproportionation, oxidation, carburization, nitridation, or their combinations. MOCVD has been most commonly used for fabricating thin films of III-V semiconductor compounds, such as gallium arsenide (GaAs), indium arsenide (InAs), indium phosphide (InP), and gallium aluminum phosphide (GaAlP), particularly in epitaxial form. To prepare the above compositions, metal alkyls or aryls [e.g., In(CH3)3, As(CH3)3] and hydrides (e.g., PH3, AsH3) are commonly used as volatile precursors. For example, fabrication of GaAs film involves a reaction between trimethyl gallium and arsine that can be represented by the following equation: Ga( CH3 )3 + AsH3 → GaAs + 3CH3 MOCVD precursors and processing equipment are relatively expensive, thus limiting the use of the technology to applications where cost is not a barrier and high quality is desired. Owing to this limitation, MOCVD is currently used extensively only in the electronics industry14 and for producing advanced lasers and infrared detector–type applications. Chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) is a type of CVD technique used for porous structures such as foam or fibrous mats or weaves. As the hot gases infiltrate through the porous media, they react and deposit on the hot surfaces, and in some cases continuous deposition eventually fills up the pores to make a composite.6 CVI is frequently used for fabricating composites at lower temperature and pressure conditions than traditional composite-forming processes such as hot pressing and hot isostatic pressing. The milder conditions help retain the mechanical and chemical integrity of the substrate. However, a major limitation of CVI is the length of time it takes to fill up the preform pores and to prepare a composite. Because of the tortuous paths in the substrate samples, films must be deposited at lower temperatures and at a slower rate compared with CVD to avoid choking the channels. However, recent developments have improved the commercial viability of CVI. Forced CVI is a technique where the gas flow is restricted to the sample, hence forcing all of the gases through the channels in the sample and filling them up at a faster rate. Temperature gradients across the sample have also been used to speed up the CVI process. CVI has been extensively used in fabricating SiC composites, where SiC preforms are filled with SiC material by chemical vapor infiltration of hydrocarbon and silane vapors. Fluidized-bed CVD is a technique where the substrate is a powder particle and the powder is suspended in a flowing gas. In order to achieve the desired coating on the particles, the density and size of the particles and the velocity, density, and viscosity of the fluidizing gas are balanced so that the particles do not settle and clog the gas inlet. The oldest application of the fluidized-bed CVD technique is for coating nuclear fuel particles (uranium–thorium carbide) with pyrolytic carbon and silicon carbide. Propane and other hydrocarbon gases are normally used as the volatile precursors for pyrolytic carbon, and methyltrichlorosilane is the preferred precursor for SiC. Similarly, a zirconium carbide coating has been deposited by fluidized-bed CVD from zirconium tetrachloride and a hydrocarbon.6,15 G. Aerosol Processes Aerosol processes can be classified as material synthesis via gas-to-particle or droplet-to-particle conversion. In a gas-to-particle conversion, gases or vapors react forming primary particles that grow further by coagulation or surface reactions. Powders produced by this process have a narrow size distribution, and the process can yield nonporous spherical particles. Materials such as carbon black, silica, and titania are produced by the gas-to-particle conversion process in flame reactors. Flame hydrolysis, which is commonly used for producing fine silica powder, can be classified as a gas-to-particle conversion process. Fine ceramic powders can be prepared by the flame hydrolysis

method in which the precursors are oxidized in a flame to form oxides in a wide range of particle sizes. For example, SiO2 powders have been prepared by flame hydrolysis from SiCl4 oxidation in an H2/O2 stationary flame. After formation of the primary SiO2 particles in the flame, the tiny droplets of SiO2 coalesce as they move away from the flame and form larger particles from aggregates to agglomerates of SiO2. The particles can then be separated by size. In the droplet-to-particle conversion process, solution or slurry droplets are suspended in a gaseous medium by liquid atomization, where the droplets react with gases or pyrolyze at high temperatures to form powders. The particle size distribution is determined by the droplet size or processing conditions such as particle breakup during pyrolysis or drying. The particles are mostly monodispersed and porous. Spray drying and spray pyrolysis are the most common industrial methods of producing powders by the droplet-to-powder conversion process.16 Freeze-drying of droplets is another technique in which powders are produced by droplet-to-particle conversion.

III. MICROFABRICATION A. Microelectronics Microelectronic fabrication requires the ability to deposit thin films and then pattern them into functioning devices which can include transistors, capacitors, resistors, memory devices, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), light emitting diodes (LED), etc. Understanding and control of surface chemistries of various thin-film materials and the use of lithography techniques are very important in achieving reproducible high quality devices. In order to fabricate a solid state device, for example microchips, sensors, or biological hybrid electronic devices, one or more inorganic thin films are deposited and patterned by what are commonly known as “top-down” processes. “Bottom-up” fabrication is an alternative approach that will be discussed later in the chapter. In one common top-down scheme, a film of one material is first deposited onto a starting substrate (or wafer) and then patterned by etching or removing the film in select well-defined areas. Complex three-dimensional architectures are built up by repeating the process of film deposition and patterning as often as neccessary. Often these films are made up of alternating conductive and insulating layers in order to facilitate electrical isolation of each circuit element, for example, transistors, capacitors, and resistors. Next, in the metallization step, all of the chip’s circuit elements are electrically interconnected and individual dies (or chips) are diced from the wafer and wired to the macroscopic world. Finally, the chip is enclosed or packaged in a protective material that can provide some combination of chemical, environmental, mechanical, thermal, or electrical stability. This type of top-down process is the industry standard for making memory and other microelectronic devices. It is also still commonly used and adapted for fabrication of MEMS devices and in nanofabrication, which will be discussed later in the chapter. Standard microelectronic fabrication consists of a series of techniques that allow for relatively rapid and simultaneous (or parallel) manufacture of billions of devices, with lateral feature sizes as small as 65 nm, on a single chip and many chips on a single wafer up to 300 mm in diameter. However, as demand for further decreases in feature size continues, not only do materials properties often begin to change, but new materials are identified and new fabrication and processing techniques must be developed that are more efficient and reproducible. A major initial step in the top-down fabrication of solid-state devices is the deposition and growth of a thin film. This is typically achieved by two broad classes of processing techniques: physical vapor deposition and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Wet chemical techniques such as spin-coating of sol-gel precursors or electrodeposition are also used in some applications. In physical vapor deposition, material is transferred from a solid source or target to a substrate using techniques such as sputtering via plasma, thermal evaporation, electron beam evaporation, or laser ablation. However, as described in Section II. F, CVD involves a surface chemical reaction in a vacuum environment from sources that can be transformed to a gas. The result of the chemical



9

reaction is the deposition of a thin film that is angstroms to microns thick. CVD techniques include plasma enhanced CVD, low pressure CVD, metallorganic CVD (or MOCVD), atmospheric pressure CVD, and photo-assisted CVD. The most common top-down patterning method used to make microelectronic circuits is photolithography. First, a shadow mask — essentially an optical stencil — is made as a negative of the desired chip pattern (or blueprint), with regions that either block or transmit the wavelength of the developing light. This mask is placed between the light source and a substrate, the latter which has been coated with a thin layer of photosensitive polymeric photoresist. The mask’s pattern is optically transferred to the photoresist by exposing it to light. Only light that strikes a transparent part of a mask is transmitted to the photoresist, where it either crosslinks the polymer, making it insoluble (a negative photoresist) or, conversely, photodegrades the polymer, rendering it soluble (a positive photoresist). While most resists are polymeric and used for patterning features on films, some are multilayered and consist of both metal and polymeric photoresist. Inorganic materials are also used as masks, including metals, nitrides, and oxides (e.g., Cr, Si3N4, and SiO2). The three main types of mask-substrate configurations used in photolithography are (a) contact lithography, in which the mask is placed in intimate contact with the wafer, (b) proximity lithography, in which the mask is placed very close to the substrate without touching it, and (c) projection lithography, in which a focusing lens is placed between the mask and the substrate. Contact masks are the least expensive and simplest form of optical lithography, but the mask does not have longevity owing to repeated contact with photoresist during patterning. Proximity masks alleviate mask degredation, but diffraction of light reduces the pattern resolution. Projection lithography is the workhorse of the microelectronics industry, because it has better resolution than contact lithography and the mask is not damaged by repeated contact with the substrate; however, it is expensive because of stringent light focusing requirements. After development of the photoresist, the pattern that remains in the photoresist functions as a mask by protecting regions of the substrate from being etched during subsequent patterning of the thin film. The thin film regions left bare by the patterned photoresist can be subsequently removed by a variety of chemical or physical etching techniques. These etching techniques include ion beams (dry etch), chemically assisted dry etches such as reactive ion etches (RIE), the most common technique, chemically assisted ion beam etches, and wet chemical etches. The choice of chemicals used in these techniques strongly depends on a material’s chemical stability. The remaining photoresist protects the rest of the substrate during the etching process and is subsequently removed either chemically with a solvent or with an oxygen plasma cleaner often called a photoresist asher. The patterned substrate is then cleaned, and another film (or series of films) is deposited and patterned by photolithography. This step is repeated until all the circuit elements have been patterned on the chip. One primary strength of photolithography, or the topdown approach, is that it is a batch or massively parallel process, allowing billions of circuit elements to be simultaneously patterned on individual chips across a wafer. Many selective anisotropic wet etches have been developed in the microelectronics industry. For example, hydrofluoric acid (HF) strongly etches quartz (SiO2) and is used to remove oxide from silicon without etching the silicon. Potassium hydroxide solution (KOH) is an example of an anisotropic wet etch that is often used to make MEMS and photonic devices. KOH allows the formation of high aspect ratio trenches in silicon, as it etches the (100) direction a hundred times faster than the (111) direction. Wet etching, while generally inexpensive, often suffers from feature rounding and undercutting of the resist and is used primarily for large feature-size definition. For finer feature resolution, dry etching techniques such as plasma sputtering, RIE, and chemically assisted ion beam etching are commonly used. If focusing lenses and photoresist behave perfectly, the smallest feature size that current photolithography can fabricate without significant edge blurring is limited to approximately half the wavelength of the light source. For example, older mercury lamp sources with a wavelength of 436 nm (g-line) can pattern features on the order of 0.25 µm. Currently, sources that emit at extreme


10


ultraviolet energies or use x-rays with wavelengths of ~10 to 250 nm can define much smaller features. However, at these high energies, additional care must go into the design of the photoresist and lenses. Finally, electron beam technology can pattern elements with feature sizes on the order of 10 nm. Another benefit of electron beam patterning is that masks and resists can be eliminated. However, electron beam lithography has two primary limitations: (a) It has slow throughput owing to serial patterning, where the beam must be rastered across the surface to pattern each device, and (b) the instrumentation is expensive. Parallel electron beam systems have recently become available, but they are still slower and less reliable than traditional optical lithography. Etch-stopping is also an important aspect of patterning a film. If the etch is stopped too soon, the film is considered underetched, which results in electrical shorts. However, if underlying films are overetched, then the previously patterned elements can be damaged. Hence, suitable etch-stop techniques are an extremely important consideration when developing etching techniques for a new thinfilm material. Ideally, the etch technique used will automatically stop when it perforates the thin film and reaches the underlying material. Such selective wet or dry chemical etches make use of the different chemical reactivities of materials or etch anisotropies for a given material. Other common etch-stop techniques include thermal oxidation to form chemically resistant layers, ion implantation to make a material either more or less reactive to a given etch, electrochemical monitoring, mass spectroscopy to detect chemically distinct species from underlying films, and simply timing the etch. Aside from growth conditions such as temperature and stoichiometry, a number of factors are important for growing thin films with minimal lattice defects, including surface cleanliness and roughness at the atomic scale, surface flatness across the entire wafer, lattice-matching of the thin film with the underlying substrate, and coefficient of thermal expansion matching. If these factors are not carefully controlled, the thin film can develop excessive interface strain and other defects that impair the film’s mechanical and electrical quality. Surface cleanliness and atomic-scale smoothness are often simultaneously obtained by the application of one or more techniques including wet chemical etches, mechanical polishing, plasma etches, sputtering, and thermal annealing. The process by which macroscopic smoothness or flatness across a wafer or chip is achieved is often called planarization. Planar films are obtained by two primary methods: ion implantation and chemical mechanical polishing. Etching, which involves the removal of film material, can lead to macroscopically uneven deposition of subsequent films including nonplanar crossovers. To avoid this complication, researchers often replace etch patterning techniques with ion implantation. Ion implantation involves taking a high energy plasma of charged ions and accelerating them at a masked substrate. Unprotected regions of a substrate are ballistically bombarded with high-energy charged ions (tens to hundreds of keV) that embed themselves in the film, resulting in a Gaussian depth profile normal to the surface. The higher the ion energy is, the deeper the average penetration. Ion implantation is often used to dope semiconductors, thus changing their electrical properties. At low implant doses, a material can be given a range of electrical properties from conducting to semiconducting; thus, ion implantation can be used to make components of devices such as resistors, transistors, and tunnel junctions. At higher doping doses, implanted regions of a film can be made highly resistive, to make integrated resistors or even insulating for device isolation and patterning. Since no film material is removed during ion implantation, the implanted film can remain planar. Subsequent films are deposited over a flat surface, reducing defects that occur when the film is deposited over etched features. Ion implantation requires understanding how a material behaves as it is implanted by high energy ions, how the implanted ions rearrange upon subsequent annealing procedures, and how to design photoresists that block energetic ions without degrading or hardening. For example, the atomic masses of constituent ions in the thin film and the material’s density determine the average depth of penetration of implanted ions. It is more difficult to penetrate a dense close-packed metal film than many oxide films, which have more open and hence less dense structures. Ion implantation can cause standard polymeric photoresists to swell, distort, and bond to the substrate. These issues can result in patterned features that do not meet design specifications and difficultly in removing resist without damaging the substrate.



11

Another much more common method for planarizing a film, commonly used after metallization of a wafer, is chemical mechanical polishing. This technique makes use of a polishing pad and a chemically reactive abrasive slurry where a surface composed of two or more chemically and physically different materials (e.g., copper interconnects on silicon devices) is planarized. Features that stick out from the film tend to polish faster than low uniform features, resulting in nearly atomically flat planar surfaces. Other materials considerations required during microelectronic fabrication include lattice matching between the substrate material’s crystal structure and the film to be deposited, matching of the coefficients of themal expansion over all temperatures encountered during fabrication and subsequent device usage, and how a material’s properties respond to various dopants and doping methods. Lattice matching requires that both the substrate and the film to be deposited have some interplanar distances that are nearly identical, or else the thin film may develop excessive dislocations or eventually become excessively granular and rough. The relative coefficients of thermal expansion of the substrate and the film should also be as similar as possible, or film cracking or delamination may occur during the repeated temperature cycling that happens during thin-film deposition and other thermal processes during microfabrication. Doping of thin films is often required to change their electrical characteristics to make circuit elements such as resistors, diodes, and transistors or to help enhance (or impede) selective etching. For example, Group V elements such as phosphorous and arsenic are used as donor dopants in silicon to create n-type material, where electrons are the dominant charge carrier. Group III elements such as boron are used as acceptor dopants to make silicon a p-type material where conduction is dominated by holes. The three most common thinfilm doping techniques are diffusion from a gaseous source, diffusion from a solid source, and ion implantation. Masks are used to control the lateral position on a substrate where the dopant will penetrate. A subsequent backend anneal is often required to finish distributing the dopants within the film and to electrically activate dopant ions. Unfortunately, most of the top-down techniques discussed here are reaching their limitations with respect to even smaller device fabrication. In order to effectively reduce feature sizes much below 100 nm, investigators are not only pursuing some novel top-down approaches, but developing so-called bottom-up strategies, as discussed in Section VII. B. Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) Fabrication MEMS are devices that integrate electrical and mechanical elements on a chip along with the technologies associated with fabricating and packaging them. MEMS are already finding applications as pressure sensors, accelerometers in automobile airbags, optical switches, and inkjet printer heads and in biotechnology and chemical analysis. MEMS components can include moving parts, microfluidic channels, positionally controlled mirrors, and microreactors. MEMS fabrication techniques differ from standard solid-state microelectronic processing because the films to be patterned are usually orders of magnitude greater in thickness, and many of the patterned parts must be able to freely move past each other or, in the case of microfluidic channels, remain open for fluid flow. For example, using sacrificial layers and deep RIE (DRIE), one can make moving parts such as gears out of patterned thin films. Sacrificial layers such as SiO2 are often used to release silicon MEMS components patterned on top of the SiO2. DRIE forms high aspect ratio structures on silicon and makes use of sidewall passivation to avoid lateral etching. For example, alternating the RIE gases SF6 and C4F8 will, respectively, etch and passivate the trench repeatedly until the required etch depth is obtained, which is often defined by an underlying SiO2 layer. This SiO2 layer acts as a release in that a selective chemical etch such as HF will remove it and undercut the patterned Si structure. If the Si structure is not anchored to the substrate below the SiO2 layer, then it is free to move. This general etching strategy may also be applied to other materials systems once their surface and bulk interactions with various etching solutions are better understood.


12


MEMS devices are also being constructed from nonsilicon materials such as plastics, elastomers, amorphous diamond, and piezoelectrics, which require the development of new etch chemistries for fabrication. MEMS also has potential uses in biotechnology, especially in microfluidics, and has uses in drug delivery, in-vivo monitoring, cell manipulation, biosensors, gene or protein chips, neural probes, microsurgery, and retinal or cochlear implants. A problem called stiction is sometimes encountered during both MEMS fabrication and subsequent device operation. Stiction is the attractive electrostatic or van der Waal’s interactions between two initially free surfaces in extremely close proximity that keeps the pieces from moving past one another. To avoid stiction, the surface chemistries must be carefully controlled by either cleaning or coating with a molecular-level lubricant. For example, supercritical CO2 is often used to clean MEMS devices, while free surfaces can be chemically modifed with self-assembled monolayers or other molecular-level coatings. In recent years, supercritical CO2 has been more widely applied in MEMS fabrication, microfabrication, and nanofabrication as a wafer cleaner, a resist developer and stripper, and as a polishing solvent. Using water and other solvents for cleaning small or delicate features commonly found in MEMS fabrication or nanotechnology is often impractical because of high surface energy effects and limitations in the solubility of the solvent. Even if water, for example, is forced with pressure to penetrate nanoscale features, the high surface tension and resultant large capillary forces can cause features to collapse. Above 31°C and 75 atm, CO2 becomes supercritical, which means its liquid and gaseous states are indistinguishable. Supercritical CO2 has an extremely low viscosity and zero surface tension and thus easily wets most surfaces while penetrating small trenches in photoresist and etched substrate features. Nanoscale interconnects of copper have also recently been fabricated by using supercritical CO2 as a carrier fluid for incorporating copper into holes and trenches smaller than 100 nm. Supercritical CO2 may be an enabling technology in achieving the smaller feature sizes encountered in MEMS devices and nanotechnology. IV. PRECURSORS In this section, the precursors used for the processes described in preceding sections are classified by groups. The precursors can be molecular or polymeric or a colloidal suspension of particles. Information on the properties of individual precursor properties is provided in Chapter 3. A.

V. ADDITIVES Additives are chemicals normally employed in wet chemical processes to change physical or chemical properties of the system. Additives used in wet chemical processing of inorganic materials can be classified as catalysts, dispersants (detergents and other surfactants), and binders. Catalysts are materials that increase the efficiency of the reaction or the rate of reaction and are regenerated at the end of the reaction. The most commonly used catalytic additives in systems are organic and inorganic acids and bases. For example, silicone polymers with functional groups such as alkoxy can be polymerized to form cross-linked silicones or silicates using a tin octaoate catalyst. Similarly, inorganic acids and bases are employed to catalyze the hydrolysis and condensation reactions in the sol-gel process involving metal alkoxides. Dispersants (detergents and other surfactants) are composed of varying proportions of polar and nonpolar groups used in two-phase systems to provide a homogeneous dispersion or emulsion. Although dispersants are present in small quantities, they exert a marked effect on the surface behavior of the system. Surfactants form interfaces between solid–solid, solid–liquid, solid–gas, liquid–liquid, and liquid–gas phases, whereas dispersants form interfaces between solid and liquid only. Dispersants are applicable to slurry systems (solid–liquid) in ceramic processing, whereas emulsion-type processing requires surfactants suitable for liquid–liquid systems. In many systems containing oil and water (water-in-oil or oil-in-water) or systems containing insoluble solids in a liquid medium, surfactants are used to form homogeneous emulsions. Depending upon the system under consideration, the type of surfactant used in producing a homogeneous emulsion can change drastically. There are two types of surfactants: ionic and nonionic. Nonionic surfactants are characterized by their HLB (hydrophobic-lipophilic balance) number to indicate the polarity in the © 2005 by CRC Press


15

compound. A higher HLB number indicates a higher polarity of the surfactant, whereas a lower HLB number indicates the lipophilic (nonpolar) nature of the surfactant. For example, an ethylene glycol fatty acid ester has an HLB number of 2.6, suitable for a water-in-oil-type emulsion, whereas polyoxoethylene fatty alcohol has an HLB number of 15.4, suitable for an oil-in-water-type emulsion. However, ionic surfactants such as sodium oleate (NaOOCC15H31) ionize in an aqueous medium to provide low-energy interfaces, forming a solution or an emulsion. Detergents can be classified into three groups: anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants. Anionic detergents such as sodium toluene sulfonate have a large anion, which can be used to stabilize suspensions containing negatively charged particles or particles that adsorb the anionic surfactants via charge repulsion. Similarly, cationic detergents such as quaternary ammonium acetate have large cations that can be used for stabilizing suspensions containing positively charged particles via charge repulsion. Nonionic detergents such as alkyl polyethoxy benzene, with long steric groups, are used for stabilizing suspensions by steric hinderance. In practice, both the charge repulsion and the steric hindrance play an important role for all surfactants. Inorganic surfactants or detergents such as nitric acid, silicic acid, ammonium hydroxide, and sulfuric acid are also used to stabilize suspensions in aqueous media.18 Binders are polymers and colloidal particles that are adsorbed on particle surfaces to bridge between ceramic particles for interparticle flocculation. In ceramic processing, binders improve the wetting and change the viscosity and sedimentation characteristics of the slurry for ease of processing. Binders are used in slurries or tapes during ceramic processing to glue the ceramic particles in the green state and to obtain higher densities after sintering. Soluble silicates and polyalkyl glycols are common binders used in ceramic processing. Polyvinyl alcohol is one of the most common binders used in an aqueous medium. Polyvinyl pyrrolidone is another binder frequently used in both aqueous and organic media. Sodium silicate, an inorganic binder, is also frequently employed for binding purposes in ceramic processing.

VI. SURFACE MATERIALS CHEMISTRY Atoms at surfaces often deform or structurally rearrange in order to reduce their free energy. Consequently, surface properties often vary significantly from bulk materials properties. This may not have a significant impact when the surface area to volume ratio is quite small, as is seen in micron-scale particles; however, as particle size drops into submicron dimensions, the properties of the surface atoms may dominate the measured properties. Surface science is mostly concerned with the understanding and control of the physical and chemical properties of surface and near surface atoms. This requires not only developing models for surface thermodynamics, kinetics, and quantum size effects, but also the development of techniques that are capable of characterizing surfaces at or near the atomic level. The understanding developed in surface science can also have practical benefits such as improving fabrication methods for thin-film devices, including atomic layer deposition, designing corrosion-resistant surfaces, and developing better catalysts. In this section the discussion is limited to solid-liquid interfaces that not only benefit from an understanding of inorganic materials chemistry but are important in the subsequent discussion of nanotechnology fabrication methods. In addition to the need to control the chemistry of surfaces in standard ultra-high vacuum–based microelectronic processing techniques, it is important to control solid–liquid interfaces encountered in wet etching, flocculation-deflocculation of powders, colloidal suspensions, electrochemistry, and emerging areas in nanotechnology including self-assembly, some forms of soft lithography, and microfluidics. Rendering a materials surface hydrophobic or hydrophilic (i.e., nonpolar vs. polar) is one way to precisely control interaction forces between the surface and other materials, organic molecules, or biomolecules. Until the past 10 to 15 years, modern surface science experiments have been carried out primarily in ultra-high vacuum environments (~10−9 torr). Such a high vacuum



16


was required for two main reasons: (a) Many surface characterization techniques require a vacuum for the analysis beam to operate in, and (b) a high vacuum maintains a pristine and uncontaminated surface, which is important in microelectronic fabrication, including thin film deposition. However, with the advent of scanning probe microscopy techniques and certain surface spectroscopies that can both detect monolayer adsorbates and operate in liquids, the nanoscale structural and chemical properties of the solid–liquid interface have become accessible. Surface forces, electrochemical phenomena, molecular self-assembly, and biomolecule patterning can now be explored with the resolution previously only afforded to vacuum-based surface science.

VII. NANOTECHNOLOGY The prefix nano often refers to 10−9, or 1/1,000,000,000, of a unit of measurement. One nanometer (1 nm) is 10−9 meters, or one billionth of a meter. Atoms have diameters on the order of 0.1 nm; DNA strands have widths of a few nanometers, a white blood cell 10,000 nm, a human hair about 100,000 nm, and a grain of sand 1,000,000 nm. The ability to make and fabricate structures in which at least one dimension of the material is between 1 and 100 nm and then assemble them into larger arrays has led to the term nanotechnology.19 While molecular biologists, chemists, physicists, and materials scientists have been working at the nanoscale in one form of another for decades, only recently have the tools become available to truly observe and fabricate structures at the nanoscale. The discovery of the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) in the early 1980s, and soon thereafter, the scanning force microscope (SFM), for the first time clearly revealed the nanoscale world of individual atoms and molecules on surfaces. These scanning probe microscopy (SPM) techniques are considered the primary enabling technologies in the development of the nanotechnology field and will be discussed in detail in Section IX. Nanotechnology has also benefited tremendously from the discovery of two new nanoscale forms (or allotropes) of carbon called buckyballs and nanotubes. In addition, advances in the rational design of materials, including biomimetics, the science of molecular self-assembly, especially as it occurs on solid substrates, and developments of new soft lithographic techniques such as microcontact printing, have further spurred the development of nanotechnology. As device and feature sizes on chips are reduced significantly below micron dimensions, the surface area to volume ratio can exceed 10%. Consequently, surface effects can dominate material bulk physical and chemical properties. Also, at the nanoscale, materials properties no longer strictly obey bulk continuum laws (e.g., fermi-dirac statistics, etc.) but can instead enter the realm between atomic and molecular quantum mechanics and bulk material, where a small cluster of atoms may exhibit size-dependent quantum effects. This promise of improved or even unique electrical, mechanical, magnetic, and optical properties at the nanoscale is generating excitement in the scientific community. Real nanotechnology examples already exist in everyday life. For example, some sunscreens make use of nanosized zinc oxide particles suspended in a clear lotion to block the sun’s damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays. These zinc oxide particles have sizes that effectively block UV wavelengths (100 to 400 nm) yet are too small to block longer wavelength visible light (~400 to 700 nm); hence the lotion remains transparent. Another example is found in the data storage industry, where data density has increased significantly with the development of magnetoresistive devices formed by alternating layers of magnetic and electrically conducting materials only a few nanometers thick. The electron conductivity in one layer is coupled to the magnetic dipoles in neighboring layers. As these dipoles are ordered and their orientations switched, stepwise changes in conductivity up to several orders of magnitude can occur. Giant magnetoresistive devices are made from alternating nanoscale films of Ni-Fe or Au-Co alloys with nanoscale films of a metallic conductor such as Cu. While this book focuses on inorganic materials, it is worth briefly mentioning that microfabrication and nanofabrication techniques are increasingly being integrated with biomolecules such as



17

DNA to form hybrid biological devices such as prosthetics, implants, sensors, and “lab-on-a-chip” type diagnostics and microarrays. For example, DNA microarrays are fabricated using ink-jet technology that applies thousands of micron-scale regions to an inorganic substrate, each with different short segments of DNA. Microfluidics requires fabrication of micro- and nano-scale channels on a chip that can be used to transport fluids around a surface. This technology has been used to make devices that can integrate various functions on a chip such as miniature chemical reactors, sorting cells and DNA by size, and the analysis of biofluids. Quantum dots are beginning to be used in labeling biomolecules and cells. Quantum dots are nanoparticles (2 to 10 nm in diameter) that may be supported on a solid substrate or freely suspended in a liquid. Their optical and electrical properties are often a function of their size. For example, CdSe and CdS particles fluoresce at different colors depending on the particle size. Of course, nature has been working at the nanoscale for millions of years in the areas of self-assembly (e.g., cell membranes) and molecular-scale data storage within strands of DNA. A. Nanofabrication In addition to some of the top-down fabrication methods discussed previously, nanotechnologists are pursuing bottom-up fabrication strategies using a variety of methods including SPM manipulation and self-assembly. A bottom-up approach to device fabrication places circuit elements and wiring only where needed. For example, if one needs a wire on a substrate, then only a wire is fabricated on the surface. There is no need for masking, patterning, and removal of excess material found in most microelectronic fabrication techniques. There are now many examples of successful demonstrations of the bottom-up approach, including nanoscale wires and transistors fabricated from individual carbon nanotubes, self-assembly of gold particles using single stranded DNA, and inorganic-biological hybrid devices fabricated by a number of techniques including microcontact printing. SPMs were probably the first instruments used for rudimentary bottom-up nanolithography by manipulating matter at the nano- and atomic-scales. For example, individual xenon atoms were rearranged on a Ni surface with a low-temperature STM to spell out “IBM,”20 nanoscale copper clusters have been grown electrochemically with an SFM tip on both oxide-passivated copper surfaces,21 and gold surfaces have been passivated with nanoresists made from self-assembled alkanethiol monolayers,22 and more recently, the SFM tip has been used as a nano-pen to write alkanethiol features on gold surfaces with line widths on the order of 10 nm.23 Nanolithography with a scanning tip is an extremely slow serial process compared with standard top-down photolithographic methods. However, the ability to create nanoscale structures or devices and the ability to characterize them quickly makes SPM an extremely powerful tool in developing a fundamental understanding of nanoscale devices and in preparing practical devices that require only a small number of devices, such as sensor components. B. Self-Assembly Self-assembly commonly occurs in nature during the formation of seashells, cell walls, membranes, and myelin, and in nanotechnology it is used mostly as a bottom-up technique. Biological membranes are composed of lipid and bilipid layers. These elongated lipid biomolecules have hydrophilic head groups, hydrophobic tail groups, and strong attractive van der Waals intermolecular interactions between the long chain groups. In bilipid membranes, the hydrophilic head groups point out into the aqueous environment, while the hydrophobic tail groups bury themselves in the interior of the membrane away from water. Self-assembly on an inorganic substrate occurs in a similar fashion but often involves a chemical bond or strong intermolecular interaction of the head group with the substrate and a corresponding ordering in two dimensions of the molecules across the surface. Alkanethiols are one primary example of molecules that self-assemble on noble metal


18


surfaces such as gold, silver, and copper to form self-assembled monolayers. The thiol head group forms a chemical bond with the substrate, and the long chain hydrocarbon tails order owing to van der Waal’s attractive interactions. These self-assembled monolayers are used as nanoscale resists, building blocks for nanoscale devices, and templates for biomolecule adhesion. Controlling the chemistry of the inorganic substrate, in addition to the chemistry of the molecule to be adsorbed, is critical in the formation of self-assembled monolayers. Self-assembled monolayers of alkanethiols are considered nanoscale structures, as the film thickness normal to the substrate is only the length of a single molecule (~1 to 3 nm). C. Microcontact Printing Microcontact printing is a soft lithography technique that makes use of the surface chemistry of inorganic substrates to control the transfer of a molecular species such as organic solutions of thiols or biomolecules from an elastomeric stamp, usually polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), to the substrate. The stamps are first fabricated with features ranging from the nanoscale to microns in size. Next, an ink containing the molecule to be patterned is applied to the PDMS stamp and the inked stamp brought in contact with the substrate. For effective transfer to occur to the substrate, the molecule must have a higher chemical affinity for the substrate than the stamp. Features with lateral dimensions as low as 40 nm have been fabricated with microcontact printing. Microcontact printing still suffers from distortion and registration, particulary in multilevel patterning requiring two or more stamping or lithography steps. D. Nanotechnology Materials: Carbon Fullerenes Two forms of carbon are often used as building blocks for bottom-up nanofabrication: buckyballs and carbon nanotubes. These two new forms of carbon bring the number of carbon allotropes to four, each with crystal structures of different dimensionality, including three-, two-, one-, and zero-dimensional, with markedly different properties. Diamond has a three-dimensional facecentered cubic structure, with four of the eight tetrahedral sites occupied. This highly symmetric cubic structure and sp3 coordinated covalent bonding makes diamond the hardest substance known. Diamond’s extremely high thermal conductivity has also generated considerable interest in using it as a substrate to manage the heat generated by microelectronic devices. The two-dimensional form of carbon is graphite, which consists of sheets with three-fold sp2 coordinated atoms arranged in hexagonal benzene-like rings. The weak van der Waal’s intermolecular attractions between sheets of graphite make it cleave easily along these planes and gives it its slippery feeling. Since it is easily cleavable with the well-known carbon–carbon bond length of 1.41 Å, it is a commonly used as a calibration standard for SPMs. The third, zero-dimensional, allotrope of carbon was discovered by accident in 1985 and consists of 60 atoms arranged in pentagons and hexagons to form a soccer ball–like sphere called a buckminster fullerene, or more commonly, a buckyball. Since buckyballs are essentially carbon sheets wrapped around points, they are considered zero-dimensional materials. The fourth form of carbon is the one-dimensional nanotube, which is essentially a hollow cylinder formed by rolling up a sheet of graphite and capping it at one or both ends with a buckyball hemisphere. Nanotubes come in single- and multiwalled varieties respectively called single-walled nanotubes, which are typically conductive, and multiwalled nanotubes, whose electrical properties can range from insulating to semiconducting. Nanotubes are only a few nanometers in diameter but can be many microns in length and can have electrical properties ranging from insulating to semiconducting to conducting, depending on doping levels. C60 is the most common type of buckyball and can be formed into monomolecular layers on surfaces with potential applications as electronic or sensor components. It can also be doped (e.g., CHBr3) and made to to exhibit superconductivity. Compared to buckyballs, carbon nanotubes have © 2005 by CRC Press


19

seen a wider array of potential practical applications. They have been arranged on substrates using bottom-up methods to form nanoscale wires and functioning transistors. When mounted on larger SFM tips, nanotube tips’ low radii of curvature and high strength have made for superior imaging. Carbon nanotubes have also been incorporated into polymer matrices to form nanocomposites that electrostatically interact with automobile paints or for thermal management of electronic devices on satellites. High surface area, dense grass-like arrays of nanotubes have also been grown out of substrates and have potential application as sensors or supports for catalysts, biomolecules, and cells.

VIII. CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES A. Scanning Probe Microscopy The STM and SFM are the two primary types of a class of characterization instruments called SPMs, whose common feature is a small tip, or probe, that is rastered across a surface while measuring a specific tip–sample interaction parameter, for example, tunneling current or tip–substrate intermolecular forces. Depending on SPM design and choice of tip materials, these SPMs can create nanoscale topological surface maps by using other tip–sample interaction parameters such as magnetic, electrostatic, chemical, thermal, electrochemical, frictional, and superconducting properties. The STM operates by applying a voltage bias between an atomically sharp tip and an electrically conducting surface. Electrons flow from the occupied electronic states near the Fermi level of one electrode to the unoccupied states in the other electrode, yielding a small tunneling current. This tunneling current depends exponentially on the tip–sample separation. In order to measure the surface topography of a conductive material, the tip must be moved or rastered incrementally across the surface. This is accomplished by mounting the tip on a piezoelectric actuator that controls the tip’s position across the surface along the x and y coordinates and the height normal to the surface in the z-direction. The STM is operated in two common imaging modes: constant height and constant current. In the constant height mode (z constant), the tip is scanned across the surface at constant height while monitoring the tunneling current. As tip–sample separation varies, the tunneling current will vary, yielding a real space topographic image of the surface that has enough resolution to resolve individual atoms and vacancies. In constant current mode, a feedback mechanism is used so that as the tip is rastered across the surface, the tip–sample separation is varied to maintain a constant tunneling current. Mapping out this tip–sample separation in x and y coordinates generates a topographical surface map. The SFM, also called the atomic force microscope, behaves like an old fashioned phonograph stylus except that the SFM stylus, or tip, is much smaller, with radii of curvature between 1 and 100 nm. Instead of the tunneling current of an STM, the SFM tip–sample interaction parameters are surface forces such as van der Waal’s and electrostatic intermolecular interactions. SFM tips are mounted to the end of cantilevers that have different effective spring constants depending on the material and geometry. One can vary the applied force on the surface by controlling the position of the tip normal to the surface. As the force exerted between the tip and surface varies, the cantilever will deflect a small amount. There are also two primary imaging modes for SFM, contact mode, which includes constant height and constant force methods, and tapping mode. In constant height mode, the SFM tip is rastered across the surface with a piezoelectric actuator, while the cantilever deflection, or tip–sample interaction force, is monitored with a laser system. Any variations in force correspond to variations in surface topography, which creates a three-dimensional topographic image of the surface. In constant force mode, the tip–sample force is maintained constant by using a feedback loop as the tip is rastered across the surface. This feedback loop maintains a constant deflection (or force) on the tip by raising and lowering the tip as it traces surface features. In tapping mode


20


SFM, an oscillating tip is kept near its resonance frequency while the tip is either in contact or extremely close to the surface. This oscillating tip is extremely sensitive to small tip–sample interaction forces, including long-range van der Waal’s interactions and medium to short range polar interactions. The primary benefit of tapping mode SFM is that it significantly reduces tip–sample interaction forces that can destroy delicate surfaces. Tapping mode’s major drawback is that if desired, it is difficult, if not impossible, to achieve lattice-scale resolution. The resolution of the SFM is often limited by the radius of curvature of the tip. A smaller radius of curvature results in better resolution of nanoscale features and fewer imaging artifacts. Carbon nanotubes with radii of curvature on the order of 10 nm or less are currently being adhered to SFM cantilevers and offer the best resolution to date. While the resolution of an SFM is typically not as good as the STM, it has the advantages of being able to image insulating materials and biomolecules and is generally simpler to use than the STM. B.

CHAPTER 2 Definitions of Terms Used in Inorganic Materials Chemistry

A Abrasives Materials with high hardness values of 2 to 25 GPa used for grinding, cutting, and polishing metals and other ceramic or glass materials. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, and titanium nitride are common abrasive materials. Absorption Edge Fine Structure (AEFS) An absorption technique that uses a synchrotron radiation source to study the local structure of a compound. The local structure is associated with inner shell transitions in the atomic structure of a compound where the x-rays are absorbed in the absorption edge (8.95 to 9.03 KeV in the CuCl spectrum). The absorption edges in the spectrum represent abrupt changes in x-ray absorption peak intensities. In many cases, this spectroscopy technique helps determine the oxidation state of the element in a compound. For example, the AEFS spectra of CuCl and CuCl2 · H2O exhibit peaks corresponding to transitions from 1s orbital to higher orbitals, and the entire spectrum in CuCl2 · H2O is displaced to higher energies, reflecting the higher oxidation state of copper (+2). Also, an additional peak owing to a 1s q three-dimensional transition is observed in the CuCl2 · H2O spectrum. Acceptor A dopant (e.g., an impurity species such as boron added to a silicon crystal) that accepts electrons from the valence band of the host crystal forming electron holes in the valence band yielding a p-type material. See also, donor, dope, n-type, p-type. Acetate An organic ligand [CH3C(=O)O] normally bonded to a metal center via an oxygen atom in a metal organic compound. Other common acetate-type ligands include amylacetate [CH3(CH2)2CH2-OC(O)O], crotyl acetate [CH3CH=CHC(O)O], and benzoate [C6H5C(O)O].

O O C CH3 Acetate ligand


Acetylacetonate A chelating ligand [OC(CH3)CH(CH3)CO] bonded with two oxygens to the metal center in a metal organic compound. See also chelates. CH3 O C CH O C CH3 Acetylacetonate ligand (acac)

Acoustooptic Material Materials that change their refractive indexes as a result of induced strain. A plane elastic wave in such a material produces a periodic strain pattern with spacing equal to the acoustic wavelength; this strain in turn produces an acoustooptic variation in the refractive index. Examples of acoustooptic material include LiNbO3, LiTaTiO3, PbMoO4, and PbMoO5. Actinide Fourteen elements from thorium to lawrencium following actinium in the periodic table. These elements are uniquely characterized by partially or fully filled 5f orbitals. Actinoid See actinide. Actinon See actinide. Activated Carbon A highly reactive form of carbon with surface area in the range of 300 to 2000 m2/g produced by chemical or gas activation of sawdust, peat, and other raw organic forms. Applications of activated carbon include decolorization and purification of materials in addition to its use as an adsorption media and as a support in oxidation catalysis. Adatom An atom that has been chemisorbed or physisorbed onto a materials surface. A surface point defect that, along with surface vacancies, participates in atom transport across a surface. Adhesion The joining of two surfaces at an interface. The work of adhesion to separate two phases, A and B, is given by Wad = LA + LB LAB, where LA and LB are the interfacial energies (surface tensions or surface energies in ergs per square centimeter) of the freshly separated surfaces, and LAB is the interfacial energy of the joined A–B phases. Adlayer The monolayer (or molecular monolayer) formed by the adsorption of atoms (or molecules) onto a materials surface (or substrate). Adsorbate An adsorbed atomic or molecular monolayer on a materials surface. For a strongly bonded monolayer to form, substrate-adsorbate bonds must typically be stronger than adsorbateadsorbate bonds, or the adsorbate atoms or molecules will coarsen into either islands or multilayers. Adsorption The trapping or attractive interaction of molecules or atoms onto a surface or substrate. See also chemisorption and physisorption. Adsorption Site Sites on a surface where adsorption is favorable, including monatomic step edges, multiple atomic height step edges, and kink sites along step edges. AEFS See absorption edge fine structure. AEM See analytical electron microscopy. Aerogel Solid-state material characterized by high porosity (>90%), small pore size (2 to 100 nm), small particle size (2 to 10 nm), and low density (0.004 to 0.2 g/cm3). The term aerogel was coined by the inventor, Kistler, who prepared inorganic (oxides of Si, Al, W, Sn, Fe, etc.) and organic (cellulose, gelatin, agar, etc.) hydrogels and replaced the liquid in the gel with air. When the liquid is merely evaporated from the gel, the surface tension of the liquid usually causes dramatic volume shrinkage. However, in aerogels, when the liquid is removed at or above the critical point (at zero surface tension) of the liquid, the structure does not collapse, resulting in a highly porous aerogel material.1 © 2005 by CRC Press

Aerosil Tradename (Degussa) of fumed silica produced by the flame-oxidation process. Aerosil is a silica powder with a high surface area (150 to 200 m2/g), small particle sizes (10 to 15 nm), and a high affinity to absorb moisture. See also fumed silica. Aerosol A colloidal suspension of liquid (also called hydrosol) or solid particles in gas. Fog is a suspension of liquid droplets in air, whereas smoke is a suspension of solid particles in air. AES See auger electron spectroscopy. Agglomeration A process in which two or more particles or clusters are held together by weak cohesive forces. In many samples, cohesive forces result from electrostatic surface charges generated during handling or processing of ceramic powders. Aggregate A particle or an assembly of particles held together by strong inter- or intramolecular or atomic cohesive forces. Aggregates are normally stable to handling and ordinary dispersive techniques such as high-speed mixing and ultrasonics. Aggregates can be arranged in coacervate (spherical), tactoid (elliptical), crystalloid (cylindrical), or flock (haphazard) forms, with rod-, plate-, or spherical-shaped particles. Aging Process of restructuring and change in materials properties with time. Examples include condensation reactions, dissolution, reprecipitation, and phase transformation after gelation in the sol-gel process. See also syneresis. Physical aging (or structural relaxation) refers to changes in the properties of an amorphous material during annealing, as its structure relaxes toward that of the equilibrium liquid. The term aging is also used in electronic, magnetic, or structural materials that are hysteretic in nature. Aging results when the properties of the material deteriorate as a consequence of repeated cycling through the hysteresis loop. See also hysteresis. Albite A clay mineral, soda feldspar, NaAlSi3O8, used in producing refractory materials. Alcoholysis A reaction between an alcohol and a metal oxide oligomer resulting in metal–alkoxy bond formation. This reaction can be represented by M O M + ROH q M OR + HO M

where M is the metal and R is the alkyl group. Alcoxolation A condensation reaction between metalhydroxy and metalalkoxy bonds on two different reactants/compounds in the sol-gel process in which an alcohol is released as a byproduct. The alcoxolation reaction can be represented by M OH + RO M q M O M + ROH

where M is the metal and R is the alkyl group. Alite Tricalcium silicate (with the acronym C3S), a polymorph of calcium silicate. Alite is a stable phase of calcium silicate between its melting temperature of 2070°C down to 1250°C. Alite is a component in the clinker composition. Alkali Metals Elements from lithium to francium in group IA of the periodic table, with one electron in the outer s shell. Alkaline Earth Metals Elements from beryllium to radium in group IIA of the periodic table, with two electrons in the outer s shell. Alkanethiol Long chain hydrocarbons with a thiol head group that can chemisorb onto noble metals such as gold and silver and tend to order via attractive van der Waal’s interactions between the carbon chains.

Ballistic Aggregation In cluster growth or formation of aggregates, the process in which a monomer or a particle travels in a straight line to its point of attachment on the aggregate. Ballistic aggregation is more appropriate to particle growth in the vapor phase, whereas Brownian diffusion (where aggregating species follow a random path) is more applicable to gelation. Ball Milling A ceramic process for mixing and comminution of precursor oxides in dry or slurry forms. In ball milling, powders are mixed and the agglomerates are broken into smaller particles in a rotating mill with ceramic pieces such as balls or cylinders (usually composed of a hard oxide, such as zirconia) of various sizes. The fine powder or particles thus produced compact and sinter efficiently with increased sintering rates to fabricate dense ceramic parts. Band Gap The energy difference between the highest occupied band (the valence band) and the lowest vacant band in the electronic structure of metals, semiconductors, and insulators. Band gaps in ceramic oxides normally range from 2 to 10 eV. Band Theory The theory that describes electronic structures of metals, semiconductors, insulators, and other solids. The difference between these solids can be explained by occupancy of the valence bands and the band gap in their electronic structure. For example, lead (Pb) is a metal since it has a partially filled valence band (4f145d106s26p2; completely delocalized outer shell electrons) with a band gap of 0 eV. Silicon (Si), however, is a semiconductor with (3s23p2; partially delocalized sp3 orbitals) a band gap of only 1.1 eV; hence, the electrons in the valence band can be thermally excited to the conduction band. Diamond (C) is an insulator (2s22p2; localized sp3 orbitals) with a completely forbidden band gap of 6 eV. The band gap increases from metals to insulators. Barium Magnetoplumbite (BaM) A hard oxide composed of barium, iron, and lead oxides, used widely as a permanent magnet in a variety of applications.

Beer’s law is also described as the BeerLambert equation. Beevers–Ross Sites One of three possible sites for sodium ions in the conduction plane of Galumina (modified spinel structure). The three possible sites for the sodium ions are (a) a midoxygen position, m, (b) the BeeversRoss site, br, and (c) the anti-Beever–Ross site, abr. © 2005 by CRC Press

Bidendate Ligand Bifunctional ligands that bond with the metal through two functional groups. Ketonates are common examples of bidendate ligands that bond with metals through the two ester oxygens in the ligands. Benzoate is one such ligand. O CH3 C O Benzoate ligand

Bifunctional Monomers with a functionality of 2, which is the number of bonds that monomers can form. For example, (H3C)2Si(OCH3)2 is bifunctional because of the ability of two OCH3 groups to react and bond with other species. Bimodal Size Distribution Size distribution (bimodal pore size distribution or bimodal particle size distribution) composed of two average sizes of small and large pores or particles. For example, a system containing monomers and polymers with no oligomers has a bimodal particle size distribution. Binary Systems A two-component system with three independent variables: pressure, temperature, and composition. In solid-state compounds, the vapor pressure usually does not vary substantially with the temperature; hence, the vertical axis in the phase diagram is used as a temperature axis, and the horizontal axis is used for composition in binary phase diagrams. See also condensed phase rule. Binders Polymers and colloidal particles that are adsorbed on particle surfaces to bridge between ceramic particles for interparticle flocculation. In ceramic processing, binders improve the wetting and change the viscosity and sedimentation characteristics of the slurry for ease of processing.

Birefringence A condition in an anisotropic optical material in which an incident beam is split into two transmitted beams with opposite polarization and with different velocities and hence different refractive indices. Calcite, for example, exhibits birefringence. These types of optical crystals find applications in polarizers, analyzers, compensators, and phase contrast microscopes. Centrosymmetric crystals, however, do not exhibit birefringence. Biuret Test An analytical test used for determining the presence of a peptide linkage in a compound. The alkaline solution of biuret HN(CONH2)2 reacts with CuSO4 to produce a characteristic violet color that indicates the presence of a peptide linkage in the compound. This forms the basis of the biuret test, in which excess NaOH and small amounts of CuSO4 are added to the unknown material. Bivariant System A system in which two variables are required to describe the system. In a binary phase diagram of refractories, the phase rule P + F = C + 2 is modified to P + F = C + 1 owing to the absence of vapor pressure of the solid phases in the system. In the condensed phase rule P + F = C + 1, P is the number of phases, F is the number of degrees of freedom, and C is the number of components needed to describe the system. For example, in the Al2O3 Cr2O3 system, C = 2 and P = 1; hence, F = 2 (i.e., temperature and composition are the only two variables required to describe this system). See also binary systems and condensed phase rule. Body-Centered Lattice A cubic lattice that contains an atom or an ion in the center of the cube in addition to the corner lattice points. F-Iron is an example of a body-centered lattice. See also lattice. Boehmite Aluminum oxohydroxide L-AlO(OH) with cubic close packing of O and (OH) anions and aluminum cation occupancy in octahedral sites. Boltzmann Constant See magnetic susceptibility and magnetic moment. Bond Order See valence sum rule. Bond Percolation The percolation model used to describe the polycondensation process in solgel systems in which bonds are formed at random between-lattice sites resulting in cyclic species in addition to linear and branched species. The percolation threshold in bond percolation is different from that in site percolation, because each bond joins only two sites, whereas one site can link with several bonds depending upon the geometry of the lattice. Bonds Any one of five types of chemical bonds: covalent, ionic, a combination of these two types, intermediate, or van der Waals. Covalent bonds are formed by overlapping orbitals of the elements (or sharing of their electrons). Covalent bonds are highly directional bonds formed between elements of the same or similar electronegativities. For example, CH bonds in CH4 are covalent bonds. Ionic bonds are formed by complete transfer of electrons from the orbital on one element to the other. Ionic bonds are formed between elements with a large difference in electronegativities. For example, KCI exhibits ionic bonding in which potassium is the electron donor and chlorine is an electron acceptor. Although KCI can be regarded as an almost completely ionic structure and CH4 can be regarded as a completely covalent structure, many compounds exhibit an intermediate structure with both ionic and covalent bond characters. Intermediate bonding can be characterized by an ionic electron configuration associated with an increased electron concentration along the line between atom centers (i.e., consisting of some orbital overlapping with more directionality). van der Waals bonds are weak attractive forces between atoms or molecules resulting from fluctuating dipole moments that arise owing to the changing positions of the electrons in neighboring atoms or molecules. See also van der Waals forces. Borate Glasses Amorphous glassy materials with MO · xB2O3 composition, in which M is an alkali metal.

Borosilicate Glasses Glasses composed of SiO2 and B2O3 oxides. The structure is a combination of borate (BO3 triangles) and silicate (SiO4 tetrahedra) glasses. Boundary Stresses Stresses generated between the grain boundaries of each component in a multicomponent system or between different crystallographic orientations in a single-component system. When two powder components are mixed, heated, and then cooled to produce a ceramic part, stresses are generated by the differential thermal expansion coefficient of the two materials. The grain boundary stresses cause cracking and separation at the boundaries. The boundary stresses in an anisotropic single-component system are caused by heating and cooling cycles. This technique of heating and cooling is used in crushing quartzite rock to obtain oriented quartz crystals. Bragg’s Law The law that describes the diffraction phenomenon in which a crystal is regarded as a multiple-layer system, with each layer acting as a semitransparent mirror. Incident x-rays are either reflected by the top layer or transmitted to the lower layers and subsequently reflected. Bragg’s law determines the conditions under which the two reflected beams are in phase. The extra distance traveled by the incident beam to the lower layers is equal to the multiple of the wavelength of light and can be expressed by nQ = 2d sin V,

In the brucite structure, magnesium is hexa-coordinated in a CdI2 structure with OH bonds perpendicular to the layers and strong hydrogen bonding (OH …. O) between them. Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET) method A nitrogen adsorption technique for measuring surface area, pore size, and pore size distribution in the solid state material (powder or monolithic samples). In this method, the sample is first evacuated to remove any gases in the pores. Then nitrogen gas is slowly adsorbed into the pores, and the weight gain in the sample measured as a function of increasing nitrogen pressure. Based on this information, other data such as surface area, types of pores ( meso- or micropores), and pore size distribution are derived. The BET equation is © 2005 by CRC Press

1/ W ( P0 / P) 1 = 1/ WmC + C 1/ WmC ( P / P0 )

where W is the weight of the gas adsorbed at a relative pressure P/P0 and Wm is the weight of the monolayer of surface coverage. C is the BET constant and is related to the energy of adsorption in the first adsorbed layer. See also surface area. Buckminsterfullerene A spherical caged C60 molecule arranged in a soccer ball shape with 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons, also called a buckyball. At 30°K, rubidium-doped buckyballs (Rb3C60) are superconducting. Buckyballs have been proposed as drug delivery molecules owing to their small size (1 nm diameter) and low toxicity. See also fullerene and nanotechnology. Buffer Solution A solution that contains a moderately weak acid (e.g., HC2H3O2) and its conjugate base (e.g., C2 H 3O 2 ) to neutralize any added acid or base to the solution, maintaining the pH of the solution close to the desired solution pH. In the absence of the weak acid or its conjugate base, addition of small amounts of acid or base dramatically changes the pH of the solution. The solution retains its buffering action as long as the quantities of added acid or base are much less than the quantities of weak acid and its conjugate base. Bulk Modulus The ratio of isotropic pressure, P, applied on the sample to the relative volume change, )V/V, in the sample as expressed below: K = P / )V / V

where K is bulk modulus. K can also be expressed as K = E / 3(1 2S)

where E is Young’s modulus and S is Poisson’s ratio (ratio of the decrease in thickness to the increase in length). When S is equal to half, the material is incompressible. Burger Vectors The vector, b, that characterizes the dislocation in a crystal lattice. For example, in an edge dislocation, b is perpendicular to the line of dislocation and is parallel to the direction of the dislocation motion and the direction of the shear. Burton, Cabrera, Frank (BCF) Crystal Growth Theory The theory of crystal growth based on the motion of step edges across a surface. Mobile surface adatoms are incorporated at step edges, typically at kink sites, causing the step edge to propagate laterally across the surface. See also terrace-step-kink model.

Cadmium Iodide Structure See CdI2 structure. Calamine A zinc ore, also known as Smithsonite, with the chemical formula ZnCO3. Calcination A ceramic process that involves converting metal salt precursors, such as carbonates, oxalates, alkoxides, sulfates, nitrates, and acetates or oxides, into desired crystalline oxides or other nonoxide single or multicomponent compounds. The variables involved in this process include temperature, pressure, gaseous atmosphere, and calcination time. The variables determine the crystallinity, grain, size, and other physical properties of the final material. For example, when basic magnesium carbonate (MgCO3) is calcined at 550°C, a pseudomorphed MgO is formed, whereas when calcination is performed at 900°C, crystalline MgO (approaching cubic) is produced. In another example, BaCO3 and TiO2 are calcined at 1100°C to form perovskite BaTiO3. Calcite A sedimentary deposit of CaCO3. Capillary Pressure The pore pressure that develops during the drying and densification of ceramic and glassy materials. When the liquid phase wets the solid particles or phase, each interparticle space becomes a capillary in which substantial pressure develops owing to the surface tension of the liquid. Capillary pressure (P) can be represented by P = L(1/ r1 + 1/ r2 )

For circular pores, capillary pressure is given by P = 2L cos V / r

where L is the surface tension of the liquid, V is the wetting angle, and r is the pore radius for circular pores, with r1 and r2 the principle radii of curvature of meniscus. Carbides Ceramic composition composed of a metal cation and a carbide anion, commonly used for refractory and structural applications. There are three classes of carbides: ionic, covalent, and interstitial. Ionic carbides include metal cations from group IA, IIA, and IIIA in the periodic table and are extremely unstable under atmospheric conditions. Silicon carbide (SiC) and boron carbide (B4C) are the only two covalent carbides known. Interstitial carbides are normally composed of transition metal cations, such as Ti, Zr, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, and W. Among the above carbides, SiC, B4C, and WC are the most widely used. Carbon Nanotubes A form of carbon structurally obtained by rolling a graphitic sheet of carbon into a tube (~1–2 nm diameter), which can be several microns long. Nanotubes are formed using either cathodic or across carbon electrodes, pulsed laser evaporation of a carbon target, or chemical vapor deposition methods. The chirality of the tube determines whether the electrical properties are metallic or semiconducting. Nanotubes come in single wall nanotube (SWNT) or multiwalled nanotube (MWNT) forms whose ends are often capped with half a buckyball. Carbon nanotubes have been formed into nanoscale transistor and wire components. They have also been used in nanocomposites when mixed with a polymer matrix. See also buckminsterfullerene, fullerene. Carbonates Metal salts used as precursors for ceramics, glasses, and metallic materials. Some examples of carbonate precursors include MgCO3, CaCO3, and PbCO3. Carnegieite Sodium aluminum silicate, NaAlSiO4, with a less open framework structure than pure silica. © 2005 by CRC Press

Cassiterite Crystals produced by hydrothermally treating silica with 10% SnO2 at 300°C. This material reduces the coarsening effect and helps produce silica material with high surface area. Catalysts Materials that increase the efficiency of the reaction or the rate of reaction and that are regenerated at the end of the reaction. Several ceramic materials such as inorganic oxides are used for catalyzing organic and inorganic reactions. For higher catalytic efficiency, large catalytic surface area is required. The catalysts are produced and used in a variety of forms including powder, membrane, sheet, and wire. TiO2 is one of the most common catalysts used in the petroleum industry. Cathode An electrode in which reduction occurs in an electrochemical cell [e.g., copper deposition: Cu2+(aq) + 2e– q Cu(s)]. See also anode.

Cathodoluminesence The emission of light by a material as a result of absorbing energy from cathode rays or electrons. Cayley Tree A growing polymer that branches without forming any rings. It is also referred to as the Bethe lattice. The Cayley tree has been used to explain the gelation process in certain sol-gel systems. CdI2 Structure A structure similar to the rutile structure in which iodide ions are arranged in a hexagonal close-packed structure and half of the octahedral sites are filled by Cd2+ ions. However, this structure differs from the rutile structure in the three-dimensional arrangement. The CdI2 structure is layered, with octahedral sites filled by cations on alternate layers, whereas the rutile structure has a more rigid three-dimensional structure. Celsian Barium aluminosilicate, composition containing BaO · Al2O3 · 2SiO2. Cement Silicate material that solidifies (sets or hardens) owing to a chemical reaction with water. Although cements have been used since ancient times, many types of cement such as Portland cement are commonly used today. Portland cement is composed of strong cementitious materials such as Ca2SiO4 and Ca3SiO5 that are produced by mixing and heating (~1500°C) a variety of clay, lime sand, and oxides together. The oxide contents of Portland cement include 63% CaO, 20% SiO2, 6% Al2O3, 3% Fe2O3, 2% SO3, 2% MgO, 1% K2O + Na2O, and 3% others. Cement Clinker In cement production, partially fused lumps produced as a result of raw materials mixing and oxidation at ~1500°C, which are then crushed and mixed with gypsum to form powder. Cementite The iron-carbide phase, Fe3C (cementite), which is thermodynamically unstable and decomposes to iron and graphite. However, the kinetic decomposition of cementite is slow. Center of Symmetry The point at which any part of a molecule can be reflected through its center to produce an identical arrangement present on the other side. For example, an AlO6 octahedron is centrosymmetric. Ceramer The combination or hybrid of ceramic (inorganic) and polymeric (organic) materials. They can be prepared by reacting the monomeric precursors at a molecular level to yield a highly homogeneous material with chemical bonding between organic and inorganic components. Sometimes materials prepared by physically mixing the raw materials are also referred to as ceramers. Ceramers may have improved properties over their ceramic or polymer counterparts alone. For example, glass polymer composites are more flexible than glass and can withstand higher temperatures than organic polymers. Ceramics The art and science of preparing inorganic solid articles including monoliths, powders, films, fibers, and composites from inorganic raw materials or precursors and studying the structure and properties relationships. Ceramic materials are inorganic and can be classified into oxides, borides, carbides, nitrides, other chalcogenides, and their composites in crystalline and amorphous forms. They do not exhibit metallic properties and are brittle in nature. Ceramic products are used as refractory, electronic, optical, abrasive, structural, and magnetic materials. © 2005 by CRC Press

Ceria A dioxide of cerium CeO2. Cermet The combination of ceramic and metal materials that is generally used as refractories. The resultant material possesses properties of both metal and ceramic components. NiTiC, for example, is a refractory cermet used in high-temperature abrasive applications. Cesium Chloride Structure See CsCl structure. Chalcogenide Glasses Glasses composed of amorphous sulfur, selenium, and tellurium by themselves or in combination with other elements such as silicon and germanium. Selenium in an amorphous thin film form is a chalcogenide glass used in the photocopying industry. Si and Ge chalcogens are widely used in the semiconductor industry. Charge Density Wave Normally uniform distribution of conduction electrons is coupled with phonon variations to result in the periodic variation of charge density in one dimension. Electron motion is cooperative in this direction, giving rise to unusual properties such as highly nonlinear electrical behavior. Charge-Determining Ions Adsorbed ions that control the charge of the surface of a particle in a suspension and provide a repulsive electrostatic barrier between the particles. Charge Transfer Spectrum An absorption spectrum that results from the promotion of an electron from a localized orbital of one atom to a higher energy localized orbital on an adjacent atom. For example, the intense yellow color of chromates results from an electron transfer from an oxygen atom in a (CrO4)2– in a tetrahedral environment to the central chromium ion in an octahedral environment. Chelate In metal organic compounds, the ligand that can bond to the metal through two or more sites. In sol-gel science, acetylacetonates are frequently used as chelating ligands to substitute alkoxy ligands in metal alkoxides. The acetylacetonates are bonded to the metal via two ester oxygen atoms. By using chelating ligands in place of alkoxy ligands, the hydrolysis and condensation reactions in the sol-gel process are slowed down. Examples of Chelates R R = Alkyls, aryls

Chemical Diffusion The diffusive motion of an atom under a chemical concentration gradient (i.e., a gradient in the chemical potential of the species) typically occurring in a solid. See also self-diffusion, surface diffusion. Chemical Etching A process of removing a thin surface layer by dissolving the film in a chemically active solution. The chemical etching of the sample surface can be achieved by reactive solvents (e.g., hydrocarbons and halogenated hydrocarbons) or aqueous solutions (acids, © 2005 by CRC Press

bases, and neutral solutions). Chemical etching is performed in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for exposing the microstructure of the bulk sample (for revealing features such as grain boundaries), and in the semiconductor industry chemical etching is used for several purposes, such as film bonding and adhesion and photolithographic pattern formation. It is also used for cleaning surfaces prior to film deposition. Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) A form of wet etching commonly employed in the microelectronics industry to planarize a surface. The polishing slurry is a combination of abrasive media and a chemical etchant, which are added to a polishing cloth under an applied load. Chemical Shifts The position of a peak in a molecular spectrum relative to the internal and external standard to obtain local structural information on the molecule under consideration. The positions of the peaks are referred to as chemical shifts in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, Mossbauer spectroscopy, and electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA). Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) A vapor transport method used to deposit films on a variety of substrates. Vapors of various sources (reactants) are transported in a controlled manner (for stoichiometry) to react in the CVD chamber and deposit films on the heated substrates. The precursors may react in the gas phase or react or decompose on the heated substrate to form the desired film compositions. The decomposition or reaction may be achieved by pyrolysis, photolysis, or chemical reactions. In many cases, the film growth from vapor deposition results in epitaxial films (highly oriented along the substrate crystalline lattice). See also metallorganic chemical vapor deposition, sputtering, evaporation, electron beam evaporation, and vapor phase epitaxy. Chemisorption Adsorption of an atom or molecule on a surface through formation of a chemical bond between the adatom and the solid surface. They typically possess energies on the order of 100 to 400 kJ/mol. The adsorbate–adsorbate interactions are often small compared to the adsorbate–substrate interactions, resulting in an adlayer structure partially determined by the underlying substrate lattice. The long-range ordering of the adlayer is usually determined by adsorbate–adsorbate interactions. See also physisorption. Chemorheology Viscoelastic behavior induced in cross-linked polymeric systems in a reactive environment. For example, stress relaxation and flow result when crosslinks are oxidized or hydrolyzed by the atmosphere. See also viscoelasticity. Chimie Douce French term for a chemical method used for preparing metastable phases from chemical precursors mixed at a molecular level instead of a solid-state reaction route. The crystal structure of the new metastable phase closely resembles that of the precursors. For example, TiO2(B), a new polymorph of titania prepared by hydrolysis and subsequent heat-treatment of the K2Ti4O9 precursor, has a structure composed of TiO6 octahedra; however, they are linked to each other in a manner different from rutile, anatase, and brookite phases but similar to the K2Ti4O9 phase. China Clay Pure kaolin with an approximate formula Al2O3 · 2SiO2 · 2H2O. This clay begins to melt at 1595°C and is converted into a complete melt at 1800°C. Chip An unpackaged semiconductor device or die cut from a wafer, which contains the integrated circuit elements such as transistors and resistors. Chiral Molecule An optically active molecule that is not superimposable on its mirror image. A molecule’s chiral counterpart often possesses different chemical activity and function, and each will rotate plane-polarized light in a different direction. Chrome Refractory Chrome, Cr2O3, is a refractory oxide that melts at 2275°C. Cr2O3 is also referred to as chromium sesquioxide. Chromophore A combination of ions that cause absorption in the visible region (whereas ions themselves do not) and, hence, impart color. CdS chromophore is yellow; however, neither Cd2+ nor S2 alone causes visible absorption. © 2005 by CRC Press

Clausius–Claypeyron Equation The quantitative statement of le Chatelier’s principle in reference to the pressure dependence of phase transition as a function of temperature, which is given by dP / dT = )H / T )V

where dP/dT is a change in pressure with temperature, )H is the change in enthalpy, and )V is the change in volume as a function to temperature T. For example, KCl changes from rock salt structure to CsCl structure at 19.6 kbar and at room temperature with )H of 8.03 kJ/mol and )V of 4.11 cm2. In another example, the melting point of water decreases or the boiling point of water increases for each mega pascal of applied pressure. Clay A sheetlike mineral composed of aluminum silicate hydrate, aluminum-sodium silicate hydrate, and aluminum-potassium-magnesium silicate hydrate. Hence, the major components in the clay are aluminosilicates. Clinoenstatite A mineral, magnesium silicate, MgSiO3. Close-Packed Structures The structures resulting from the most efficient approach to pack spheres in three dimensions by stacking close-packed layers on top of each other. These layers consist of spheres that are surrounded by and are in contact with six other spheres. There are two types of structures: hexagonal and cubic close packed. In hexagonal and cubic close-packed structures, the void volume is only 26%, compared with 48% in a simple cubic structure. See also cubic close packing. Cluster–Cluster Growth Model A model used to describe the cluster growth process that results from aggregation of clusters with one another rather than addition of monomers to clusters. The fractal objects thus produced are more porous than those resulting from monomer–cluster-type aggregation. The kinetics of aggregation may be limited by the rate of condensation or diffusion, and this affects the fractal dimensions of the aggregate. See also fractal. Clusters Nanoscale particles typically containing tens to a few thousand atoms, which exhibit size-dependent electrical and optical properties owing to their large surface area to volume ratio and quantum size effects. Clusters are often studied on materials substrates. See also quantum dots. Coacervates In colloidal suspensions, the concentrated regions of particles that are not bound to one another. The surface tension associated with coacervates may help these regions of particles adopt a spheroidal shape. Coadsorption The simultaneous adsorption of two or more different types of atoms or molecules onto a substrate. Coating Typically a thick film added to the surface of another material for mechanical, chemical, or thermal protection; as a cosmetic finish; or as a reflective or light adsorbing layer. Coatings are typically on the order of several microns to millimeters in thickness. Coatings can be formed naturally via oxidation or corrosion or synthetically applied via chemical and physical deposition methods, the latter including dip coating, vapor deposition, laser ablation, sputtering, plasma spray, electrodeposition, etc. Coagulation See flocculation. Coarsening A process of dissolution and reprecipitation driven by differences in solubility between the particle surfaces with different radii of curvature, sometimes also referred to as Ostwald ripening. Because of the difference in solubility, the smaller particles dissolve more easily and the solute precipitates in regions of lower curvature (necks and crevices with lower solubility), filling small pores with larger particles growing at the expense of smaller ones. Coercive Field The electric or magnetic field required to polarize the electric or magnetic dipoles in a material. These materials normally possess electric or magnetic hysteresis; i.e., when the field is removed, the materials retain a certain percentage of the polarization or magnetization. © 2005 by CRC Press

Coercivity The magnitude of the reverse field required to achieve demagnetization or depolarization. The magnitude of the applied field in electrical and magnetic materials is denoted by Ec and Hc, respectively. Magnetically soft materials possess low coercivity. Coesite A polymorph of SiO2 with a density of 2.90 g/cm3 that forms at 30 to 40 kbar of pressure. Colossal Magnetoresistance (CMR) Similar to giant magnetoresistance, but the resistance of a multilayer composite drops even more sharply under the application of an externally applied magnetic field. CMR has been predominantly observed in manganese-based perovskite oxides, lanthanum-strontium-manganite (LSMO), lanthanum-calcium-manganite (LCMO), and the double perovskite strontium-iron-molybdate (SFMO). The CMR effect arises because of strong mutual coupling of spin, charge, and lattice degrees of freedom. See also anisotropic magnetoresistance, magnetoresistance, and giant magnetoresistance. Cole–Cole Plots Plots of the imaginary part of the dielectric permittivity versus the real part as a function of frequency forms a semicircular arc that provides information relating to dielectric relaxation phenomenon occurring within a dielectric material. The permittivity measurements are collected over a range of frequencies, including radio, audio, and microwave frequencies. Colloid A suspension with the dispersed phase characterized by large surface area and a size range of 1 to 1000 nm, such that the gravitational forces are negligible and the interactions between particles are dominated by short-range forces (van der Waals forces) and surface charges. The fine, dispersed phase in colloids normally exhibits Brownian motion. The dispersed and the continuous phase combination in a colloid may include solid-in-gas (e.g., sprays), gas-in-liquid (e.g., beer), liquid-in-liquid (e.g., milk), solid-in-liquid (e.g., paints), and solid-in-solid. Colloidal processing is used in preparing a variety of slurries for tape casting processes employed in ceramics and for producing monodispersed or polydispersed ceramic particles via nucleation, growth, and ultracentrifugation or spray drying steps. A variety of gels, films, and fibers have also been produced by colloidal processing. Color The coloring constituents in most ceramic materials consist of transition elements with incomplete d shells, such as V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and some rare earth elements with incomplete f shells. The colors commonly produced by various metals are listed in Table 2.1. In addition to the individual ions and oxidation states, the color of a compound can be affected by the ionic environment. See also color center. Table 2.1

Color Center Color spots arising from defects in the crystal lattice. There are a variety of color centers, including F-center, H-center, and V-center. An F-center is an example of a color center in alkali halide crystals produced as a result of a trapped electron in an anion vacancy. A greenish yellow F-center can be produced by heating sodium chloride in sodium metal vapors. This process involves absorption of sodium atoms that subsequently ionize the crystal surface. Na+ stays at the surface, and Cl ions tend to move to the surface to neutralize the sodium ions. In the meantime, electrons diffuse into the lattice to fill the anion vacancies. The energy required for the electron to transfer from one energy level to another falls in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum, thus producing the characteristic color. The color results from the host crystal, not the source of the electron. For example, NaCl heated in K vapors still produces yellow color centers, whereas KCl heated in Na vapors produces violet color centers. An H– center is produced, for example, when an anion site in NaCl is replaced by Cl 2 , whereas a V– center is produced when two anion sites are filled by Cl 2 . Colorimetry See spectrophotometric analysis. Combinatorial Chemistry Combinatorial chemistry is often called high throughput chemistry, as it uses efficient parallel synthesis. Large sets of chemically similar reagents (such as amino acids, peptides, oligomers, etc.) are mixed in minute amounts in binary chemical reactions to produce hundreds to thousands of products that are then screened for relevant properties such as biological activity; chemical reactivity; and electrical, magnetic, or optical properties. The fundamentals of combinatorial chemistry tend to apply regardless of the application, including synthesis of the compound library, mixture of solutions or solids, the running of a large number of screens, and a rapid and reliable analysis technique. Robotics are often used to automate many of the steps, including mixture of the compounds and rapid analysis. The largest impacts of combinatorial chemistry to date have been in drug discovery, materials development, and biology. Screening for new materials with improved properties has also benefited from combinatorial chemistry techniques. Compatible Phases The phases of the material that are stable in each others’ presence. Complexation The process of forming an associated species from positively charged molecules or particles in the solute and a variety of anions from the solution. Composite A combination of different types of materials to obtain synergetic properties unattainable by one material alone. Ceramic processing and sol-gel processing have been used to prepare ceramic–ceramic, ceramic–metal (cermet), and ceramic–polymer (ceramer) composite materials. Composites normally include two phases: matrix and reinforcements. In composites, the two phases are typically physically bonded by conventional ceramic processing or can be chemically bonded at the molecular level by chemical processes such as sol-gel. Compound Semiconductor Inorganic and organic compounds that possess semiconducting properties. For example, GaAs, InSb, and GaP (III-V compounds) are compound semiconductors. Compressive Strength The applied compressive load (stress) on a material at failure. Concrete Composition formed when cement is mixed with water and other components that quickly set. See also cement. Condensation In the polymerization process, the reaction in which the reactants bond and as a result liberate a small molecule in addition to the products. In the sol-gel process, when metal alkoxides are hydrolyzed, the OH group on the metal organic species thus produced condenses with another OH group or alkoxy (OR) group on another metal organic species, and a condensed product is formed, releasing a water or an alcohol molecule. This is a common example of a condensation reaction in sol-gel processing. Condensed Phase Rule A Gibb’s phase rule defined by the following equation: P+F =C+2


where P is the number of phases in equilibrium, C is the number of components needed to describe a system, and F is the number of degrees of freedom (number of variables such as pressure, temperature, and composition). However, in refractory systems with high melting temperatures, the vapor pressure of solid and liquid phases is negligible in comparison with atmospheric pressure, and the phase rule equation is modified to a condensed phase rule: P + F = C +1

In the Al2O3Cr2O3 system, C = 2 and P = 1; therefore, F = 2. That is, the two variables temperature and composition are required to describe the system. See also bivariant system. Conditional Glass Formers Oxides that do not form glass when their melt is cooled rapidly; however, glass can be formed when these oxides are combined with another non-glass–forming oxide. The liquid composition of CaOAl2O3 forms glass, whereas CaO and Al2O3 independently do not form glass. Conductance (Conductivity) The ease at which an electric current passes through a material (or liquid); the inverse of resistance. Conductivity is related to an electron’s or hole’s mobility under an applied electric field. Conduction Band The energy band in a semiconducting or insulating material that contains the conduction electrons involved in electron transport. In an intrinsic semiconductor, electrons must be thermally or optically excited from filled states in the valence band to empty states in the conduction band in order for electrical conductivity to be possible. Conduction Electrons Electrons in the conduction band that are involved in electron transport. Conductor (Electronic) A material with partially filled valence (hole doping) or conduction (electron doping) bands (i.e., a semiconductor) or with delocalized electrons such as metals. See also band theory and insulator. Consolute Temperature The temperature at which a liquid melts or crystalline solution cools and separates into two phases. Constructive Interference In optical experiments, the process of combining two or more light beams (waves) with the same frequency or wavelength that are in phase to form a wave whose amplitude is the sum of the amplitudes of the incident waves. Contact Angle The angle between the solid surface and the tangent to the liquid surface at the contact point in which a liquid is wetting the solid surface (also called wetting angle). The contact angle might vary between 0 and 180° for various liquids on solid surfaces. Water is the most commonly used liquid to determine the contact angle of the solid surface to evaluate the hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity of the surface. If the contact angle is closer to 0 or 180°, the surface is characterized as sticky (hydrophilic) or slick (hydrophobic), respectively. Contrast Ratio In optics, a factor that determines the opacifying power of a material. Hence, high opacity results in high reflectance, and a high scattering coefficient results in a high contrast ratio. Controlled Valency Semiconductors Transition metal compounds that normally conduct electricity because of multiple oxidation states that have only one valency or one oxidation state of the element stabilized, resulting in semiconducting properties. For example, pale green NiO (Ni2+) is an intrinsic semiconductor owing to internal d–d transitions. However, when the semiconductor is oxidized at 1000°C, some Ni2+ sites are oxidized to Ni3+ (black). The conduction occurs through electron transfer from Ni2+ to Ni3+. Coordination Compound Compound or complex formed when a ligand (Lewis base) is attached to a metal (Lewis acid) by means of a lone pair of electrons. For example, [Co(NH3)6]Cl3 and K3[Cr(CN)6] are coordination compounds with NH3 and CN as ligands (Lewis bases) to Co and K metal cations, respectively. Coordination Number The maximum number of neighbors with opposite charge that an ion can achieve. For example, in TiO2 the coordination number of Ti4+ is six (i.e., it has six O2 neighbors). © 2005 by CRC Press

In colloidal chemistry, for a particle in a suspension, the coordination number is the average number of nearest neighbors/particles. Coprecipitation Methods An alternative chemical method to ceramic batching and milling for producing preceramic powder. In this method, the metal salt precursors are mixed at a molecular level in a solution to precipitate a fine powder that is calcined (solid state reaction) at relatively lower temperatures to yield ceramic products. See also calcination. Cord and Striae Inclusions present in amorphous materials. Cords are attenuated amorphous inclusions in the glass (resulting from an inhomogeneous melt) that have properties (such as index of refraction) different from the material surrounding the glass. Striae are low-intensity cords that are especially deleterious in optical glasses. Cordierite A mineral composition with magnesia, alumina, and silica (2MgO · 2Al2O3 · 5SiO2) commonly used as an electrical insulator. It can be synthesized as a glass-ceramic material. Coring In a multicomponent system, a condition in which the central part of the crystal has a specific composition, but in areas radially surrounding this central part, the crystal becomes rich in another composition. This occurs in natural minerals and rocks and in manufactured steel parts. Coring can be deleterious to the mechanical properties of the metal and is preferably removed by reheating the metal below the solidus temperature. Corrosion The chemical degradation or deterioration of a material generally in the presence of a reactive liquid or gas. Aqueous electrochemical reactions are the most common causes of corrosion in aqueous or humid environments; however, high temperature gases can also degrade a surface. The atomic and molecular mechanisms of corrosion are quite complex and are still actively being studied. The corrosion of a material can also be carefully controlled to shape, pattern, or clean a material, as in electrochemical machining of metal parts and wet chemical etching of semiconductors. See also chemical mechanical polishing, etching. Corundum A single crystal of alumina, Al2O3. Counter Electrode (or Auxiliary Electrode) An electrode in a three-electrode configuration that is used only to complete the electrochemical circuit so that current can be applied to the working electrode. The counter electrode must be inert under the voltage and electrolyte conditions, must pass sufficient current to the solution, and must not create nonuniform current distributions at the working electrode. Typical counter electrodes are made from gold, platinum, or graphite. See also cyclic voltammetry, reference electrode. Counterions Ions of opposite charge. In colloidal chemistry, the charge-determining ions in the double layer are on the surface, and the counterions are in the solution in the vicinity of the particle and contribute to the repulsive barrier between the particles. Coupling Agents Chemicals that provide a means of chemically modifying the film or particle surfaces. The coupling agents normally contain two or three types of ligands and groups. At least one of the groups reacts with surface groups, bonding the coupling agent to the surface, and the other groups and ligands provide surface functionality not previously available. Coupling agents may be applied to improve adherence of the film to the surface or may be applied in cases in which the film and the substrate are not chemically compatible. The same approach can be applied to solid particles in suspension to produce stable emulsions. In this fashion, desired surface properties can be easily modified by applying coupling agents. Some examples for commonly used coupling agents that couple polymeric and silica surfaces are vinyltrimethoxysilane, phenyl-trimethoxysilane, and epoxytrimethoxysilane. OCH3 CH2 CH Si OCH3 OCH3 Vinyltrimethoxysilane


Covalent Crystals Crystals with a repetitious structure consistent with the strong directional nature of the covalent bond. For example, CH4 is not a covalent crystal; however, diamond is a covalent crystal with a three-dimensional network created by covalent bonds. Crack See fracture. Crazing A common glaze defect produced when the thermal expansion coefficients of the underlying materials and the glaze are mismatched. As a result, during heating or cooling, the tensile forces produce defects, such as fissures. Creep A deformation produced in crystalline materials as a result of applied stress. Creep is one of the important properties studied to evaluate the mechanical properties of structural and refractory materials. Creep Fracture A macroscopic fracture that begins with a local microscopic creep, which then produces considerable grain boundary stress, resulting in propagation of deformation. Creep fracture normally occurs at high temperatures; the rate of crack growth increases with temperature. Cristobalite A crystalline silica (SiO2) polymorph (with a density of 2.334 g/cm3) produced by heating tridymite to 1470°C. Critical Concentration In the growth of particles from solution, a concentration at which nucleation is extremely rapid. The supersaturation in suspension is normally increased via change in temperature of pH until a critical concentration is reached in which the nucleation rate rises abruptly. The precipitation of particles reduces the supersaturation below the critical concentration. Under these conditions, nucleation is unlikely, and the particle grows until the concentration is reduced to the equilibrium solubility. Critical Cooling Rate The minimum cooling rate needed to quench the melt to produce a glassy material. Critical Flaw The size of a flaw that continues to grow uncontrollably under the applied load and causes fracture. Critical Point During the drying process, the point at which shrinkage stops. The liquid surface tension creates capillary stress in the pores that causes the gel to collapse and shrink; however, the solid network (gel or particle packing) stiffens during shrinkage and eventually can withstand the capillary pressure. Critical Point Gelation See gel point. Critical Pressure and Temperature The pressure and temperature at which the liquid converts into the vapor phase without undergoing density change. At and above the critical temperature and pressure of the liquid, the surface tension of the liquid is zero. In the case of drying gellike materials, pressure and temperature are increased in such a way that the phase boundary is not crossed. See also supercritical drying. Critical Radius The minimum radius of a seed particle in a suspension or a melt required to begin the crystallization process. See also nucleation and growth. Crosslinks Links that join chains to form a three-dimensional network when a polyfunctional unit with two or more reactive groups (with a functionality of two or more) is present. For example, Si(OH)4 has a functionality of four and can lead to complex branching of the polymer via crosslinking. Crown Ethers See macrocyclic polyethers. Crystal Chemistry Chemistry that includes the description and classification of crystal structures, basis of crystallizing a particular phase, and relationships between the crystalline phase and their chemical and physical properties. Crystallography differs from crystal chemistry in that it involves approaches to solve crystal structures. Crystal Defects Defects that originate from imperfect placement of atoms or ions in various lattice positions. Since perfect placement of atoms is only possible at absolute zero temperature, many defects are produced in crystals at practical temperatures. Examples of low-defect ( 102 ohm1cm1). Examples of FIC materials include Y-doped ZrO2 and Na+-doped G-alumina. Unlike ionic conductors whose defect concentrations, and hence charge carrier concentrations, are strongly temperature dependent, FIC materials often have temperature independent carrier concentrations owing to large numbers of structurally inherent defect sites such as vacancies. See also ionic conduction. Fatigue Fractures In ceramics, fractures resulting from repeated cyclic stresses caused by nucleation or extensions of cracks within an intensely cold-worked area at the specimen surface. However, static fatigue is caused by preferential stress corrosion at the tip of a crack under a static applied stress. See also fracture. Faujasite A sodium calcium aluminosilicate zeolite with a cavity framework and the chemical formula [NaCa0.5(Al2SiO5O14)] · 10H2O. Fayalite An iron silicate with the formula Fe2SiO4 and a melting point of approximately 1200°C. F-Center See color centers. Feldspar An aluminosilicate mineral with a framework structure that can be chemically classified as a member of the ternary system, NaAlSi3O8KAlSi3O8CaAl2Si2O8. See also orthoclase. Fermi Energy For a metal at absolute zero, the Fermi energy corresponds to the highest filled electronic state in the valence band. For an intrinsic semiconductor at 0K, it falls midway between the valence and conduction bands. The Fermi energy’s temperature dependence controls the statistical distribution of electrons and holes in a semiconductor. Ferrielectric Materials Materials that are antiferroelectric in one direction, but in another direction the electric dipoles are not completely canceled and there is a net dipole moment in the absence of an electric field. Lithium ammonium tartate monohydrate and Bi4Ti3O12 are examples of ferrielectric materials. Ferrimagnetic Materials Materials that possess a residual magnetic moment in the absence of a magnetic field. This results from unequal moments of two sublattices close to each other in a material in which the antiferromagnetically arranged spins do not completely cancel out. Ferrites Mixed metal oxides containing Fe2O3 and other metal oxides. Most ferrites are magnetic in nature. Many ferrites can be described by the general formula M II Fe 2IIIO 4 , with spinel or inverse spinel structures. Barium ferrite, BaFe12O19, with the magnetoplumbite structure is an example of a magnetic ferrite. Ferrocene A dicyclopentadienyliron, [Fe(M5C5H5)2], with a sandwich-type structure. This organometallic compound forms orange crystals that melt at 174°C and are thermally stable up to 500°C.

Ferroelastic Materials Ferroelastics are strain analogues of ferroelectric materials in which strain spontaneously develops into different orientation domains. Some ferroelectrics (e.g., BaTiO3) can be simultaneously ferroelastic and ferroelectric. Ferroelectric Materials Crystalline materials that possess a permanent spontaneous electric polarization (electric dipole moment per cubic centimeter) that can be reversed by an external electric field. Owing to the distortion of a perfect cubic structure, ferroelectric materials exhibit an electric dipole moment, and the applied electric field causes polarization of the material. © 2005 by CRC Press

After the removal of the electric field, the materials still possess remanent polarization. This type of behavior is referred to as ferroelectric hysteresis. Ferroelectric materials normally have large permittivities. For example, barium titanate (BaTiO3), lead titanate (PbTiO3), and lead zirconate titanate Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 are ferroelectric in nature. Ferroic Materials The broad class of materials that order into domains of different orientations of either spontaneous strain, polarization, magnetization, or combinations thereof, hence ferroelastics, ferroelectrics, and ferromagnetics. Ferromagnetic Materials Materials that possess magnetic moment owing to complete ordering of magnetic spins in the absence of a magnetic field. In some ferromagnetic materials, individual ions are strongly coupled and aligned parallel, resulting in a net magnetic moment. The typical magnetic susceptibility, H, of ferromagnetic materials ranges from 10–2 to 10–6 and decreases with increasing temperature. Ferromagnetic property is exhibited by certain metals, alloys, transition metal compounds, and rare earth and actinide elements. Fiber Drawing In a sol-gel solution, as polymerization proceeds, the solution viscosity increases, and in a certain range of viscosities, fibers can be drawn directly from the viscous liquid system. Similarly, fibers can be drawn from a glass melt at a given viscosity and temperature. The fibers thus produced can be further processed into short fibers, mats, etc. and are commonly used as filtration media, insulation, reinforcements in refractory and structural materials and as fiberoptic devices. Fiber-Optic Devices Devices that use an optical waveguiding mode for transmitting information, for illumination, and other purposes. A glass rod can transmit light around corners as a result of total internal reflection. If an image is incident on one end of the rod, it is seen at the other end as an area of approximately uniform intensity (an average of incident light). If the rod is replaced by a bundle of fibers, each fiber transmits (with a resolution equal to the individual fiber diameters) only a part of the image incident on it. Hence, a bundle of fiber can transmit a full image. A simple fiber-optic communication system has a modulated light source, which feeds into a fiber, which delivers into a receiver that decodes the optical signal and converts it to electronic form for use by equipment at the receiving end. Fiber-optic technology has widespread applications in the communications area (telephones, cable, and computer links) because of the high rate of data transmission. Fick’s Law An empirical law used to study an atom’s mobility in a condensed phase during microstructural changes and chemical reactions that states that diffusive flux, JD (mol/cm2 · s), is proportional to the concentration gradient, Ic/Ix: JD = DcIc / Ix

where Dc is the chemical diffusion coefficient (cm2/s), c is the concentration in mol/cm3, and x is the direction of diffusion. Film A thin layer form of a material. Thin and thick films can be coated on a variety of substrates by numerous processes including sol-gel, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), sputtering, ionimplantation, laser ablation, electrophoresis, and electroplating. These films are used for optical (colored, antireflective, optical memory), electronic (ferroelectric, conductive, superconductors), protective (corrosion and scratch resistant, passive), and foam-type (membranes) applications. During the sintering process in cermics, films can also form at the grain boundaries and interfaces. Filtration Medium Inert materials with controlled porosity and pore sizes. Polymers and glass fibers are the most frequently used materials for filtration purposes. However, porous ceramic materials can also be prepared in membrane form by conventional ceramic processes (fibers and foams) and by the sol-gel process (membranes with fine porosity). These separation media are © 2005 by CRC Press

usually composed of metal oxides such as titania, alumina, and silica. Ceramic membranes are normally used for higher temperature applications. Fischer (Karl) Reagent See KarlFischer reagent. Fish Scaling The poor coating condition on metal, ceramics, or glass relating to breakout or peeling actions of films upon cooling the surface. Fixed Bed Reactor A common catalytic reactor that consists of tube and parallel arrays of tubes filled with solid catalyst particles. The fixed bed reactors are used for a variety of oxidation reactions and synthesis of new compounds. One of the drawbacks associated with the fixed bed reactor is that the fixed solid phase in the reactor exhibits variable temperatures at different locations because of limited mixing of reactants resulting in lower yield reactions. See also fluid bed reactor. Flame Hydrolysis A commercially used process of producing fine oxide powders by oxidizing metal halides in the flame. Although metal halides react vigorously with water, oxidation occurs faster than hydrolysis at flame temperatures. For example, titania is prepared from TiCl4 in H2/O2 or CH4/O2 flames and can be represented by the following equation: TiCl4 + O2 q TiO2 + 2Cl2

This method has also been used for fabricating high-purity glass preforms used in producing optical fibers for telecommunications. Flame Oxidation See flame hydrolysis. Flame Photometry An elemental analysis technique that measures the emission spectra produced when solutions containing metals are introduced into a flame. This technique is particularly useful for analyzing alkali and alkaline earth metals. However, the sensitivity of the technique for transition metals is low. The spectra obtained from this method are much less complicated than those generated by emission spectrography. Flocculation The process of aggregating finely dispersed particles into larger units called flocs or coagula. In suspension, flocculation is achieved by collapsing the repulsive double layers of particles by using flocculent additives such as electrolytes or surfactants. For example, a suspension of quartz particles at pH 4 can be flocculated by a variety of high-molecular-weight cationic binders. See also deflocculation. Flory–Stockmayer Theory The theory that predicts the gel point and the molecular size distributions of polymers constructed from monomers, each of which may be connected to f other monomers, where f is the functionality of the monomer or oligomer. This theory assumes that no cyclic species are formed and that the polymerization process proceeds in a statistically random fashion.5 Fluid Bed Reactor A reactor in which the fluid passes through a bed of fine solid particles and the velocity of the fluid and the gas bubbles in the fluid agitate the bed continuously like a boiling liquid. Unlike the fixed bed reactor, because of the continuous mixing in this reactor, the heat is uniformly distributed throughout the reactor. Fluid bed reactors are used for a variety of organic and inorganic reactions. If the mobile phase in the reactor is replaced by gas, it can be used as a dryer in addition to a reactor. In the two modes, where the mobile phase is liquid or gas, the reactions occur between solid and liquid or solid and gas phases. This technique has been used for converting metals into metal oxides, sulfides, and nitrides by heating the fine metal particles to high temperatures under the appropriate gaseous environment. Fluoroapatite See apatite. Fluorescent Materials The photoluminescence materials that emit light owing to the decay of electrons from an excited state (as a result of absorbing photons or light, often ultraviolet) to the ground state over a short period of time. (The elapsed time between excitation and emission processes is on the order of BrF3 > IF7 > ClF > BrF3 > IF5. Other hard oxidizing fluorinating agents include AgF2, CoF3, MnF3, PbF4, CeF4, BiF5, and UF6. Moderate fluorinating agents include HgF2, SbF5, SbF3/SbCl5, AsF3, CaF2, and KSO2F. Mild fluorinating agents are the monofluorides of H, Li, K, Na, Rb, Cs, Ag, and Tl and compounds such as SF4, SeF4, CoF2, SiF4, and NaSiF6. Fluorite Crystal Structure The crystal structure of CaF2 is a generic fluorite structure assigned to many crystals. The face-centered cubic structure is similar to CsCl structure; however, only half of the cation sites are filled, and it consists of a void in the center of the unit cell. See also CsCl structure. Fluorspar Calcium fluoride, CaF2, that emits light when it is heated. See also fluorescent materials. Flux Growth of Crystals Method of growing crystals that involves adding noncrystallizing components (fluxing agents) to reduce the melting temperature of the source (solid reactants). Addition of salt (NaCl) to ice, for example, lowers the melting point of ice below 0°C, resulting in a low temperature eutactic at 21°C. Foams Materials with high porosity in which the pores can be closed or open. Several polymeric materials (polystyrene, polyurethane, phenols, etc.) can be prepared as foams. Inorganic and organic aerogels are sometimes referred to as foams. Formamide A protic solvent with the formula HCHONH, used in many sol-gel reactions as a drying control chemical additive (DCCA). Forsterite A magnesia-silica mineral with the formula 2MgO, SiO2, or Mg2SiO4. This mineral is frequently used as a dielectric material. Fractal A fractal object is self-similar in that subsections of the object are similar in some sense to the whole object and the subsection contains no less detail than the whole. Fractal growth theory has been applied to study the growth processes in the sol-gel and other colloidal processes used for fabricating solid state materials.6 Fracture A process of crack growth. Most ceramics and glasses fail in a brittle manner in which fracture occurs with little or no plastic deformation. Most glasses below the softening temperature are brittle, and the appearance of the fracture surface is called conchoidal. However, in crystalline ceramic materials, brittle fracture generally occurs by cleavage over particular crystallographic planes. At high temperatures when the grain boundaries in crystalline materials shear, they might fail intergranularly. In ductile ceramics, when a section is continuously thinned, cup- or conetype fractures result. Free Energy Free energy is the measure of a system’s ability to do useful work. The Gibb’s free energy, G, combines the enthalpy, H, and entropy, S, of a system into one thermodynamic function: )G = )H T)S, where T is temperature. The sign of )G describes whether a system is in equilibrium ()G = 0) or whether a physical or chemical change is spontaneous or favorable ()G < 0) or nonspontaneous and unfavorable ()G > 0). Freeze-Drying The process of removing liquid from a system by freezing the liquid followed by subliming the frozen liquid. By removing the liquid through this approach, the solid–liquid interface is avoided and a solid state material with high porosity, fine pores, and intricate structure is formed under vacuum. Freeze-drying is a commonly used process in the food industry and has also been used in preparing fine ceramic powders. Frenkel Defect A stoichiometric defect (structural imperfection) in a crystal in which the atoms or ions move from normal sites to interstitial sites such that the number of vacant sites is equal to the interstitial atoms. For example, AgCl commonly has a Frenkel defect that causes Ag+ ions to move to interstitial sites surrounded by four Cl– ions and four Ag+ ions. © 2005 by CRC Press

Fuel Cell Solid state electrochemical cells that convert chemical energy (i.e., fuels) directly into electrical energy and no energy is expended to produce heat before producing power. In a fuel cell, the electrochemical reaction between two chemicals, a fuel and an oxidant, produces a flow of current when power is demanded by an external load. By eliminating moving parts and the heat stage, fuel cells can be a more efficient energy system than other systems. For example, a hydrogen–oxygen fuel cell produces electricity and water when hydrogen gas and oxygen gas react electrochemically in the cell containing two porous electrodes and an electrolyte.7 Fuller’s Earth Any natural clay-type material that decolorizes minerals. Fuller’s earth is normally composed of clay materials such as montmorillonite and kaolinite. See also kaolin. Fullerene A closed, convex caged carbon molecule containing both hexagonal and pentagonal faces. The most common carbon fullerene is spherical C60 and is called a buckminsterfullerene or buckyball. Spherical carbon structures can theoretically form at even numbers of carbon above 32 and include the common C60 and C70 forms (see Table 2.2). Carbon nanotubes, a fourth allotrope of carbon, are essentially giant linear fullerenes whose ends are closed with hemispherical caps or half a bucky ball. Proposed uses of fullerenes include medical drug delivery and electronic, catalytic and optical applications. See also buckminster fullerene, carbon nanotubes.

Fumed Silica See aerosil or cab-o-sil. Functionality The number of bonds that a monomer can form. Functionality is normally represented as f. For example, Si(OCH3)4 has four reactive groups; hence, the functionality is 4.

See also pendular state. Fused Silica Amorphous silicon dioxide (SiO2) formed from a melt by the quenching process.

G Galena Lead sulfide mineral with the formula PbS. Galena is also called lead glance. Galvanic Cell A two- or three-electrode cell in which the oxidation–reduction reactions occur spontaneously, thus generating an electrical current. Batteries and fuel cells are examples of galvanic cells. See also electrolytic cell. Garnets A large family of complex oxides with the general formula A3B2X3O12, where A is the large ion with a radius of ~1 Å and a coordination number of 8 in a distorted cubic environment and B and X are smaller ions that occupy octahedral and tetrahedral sites, respectively. Many garnets are important ferrimagnetic materials. Some examples of garnets include Ca3Al2Si3O12, Ca3Fe2Si3O12, Y3Fe5O12, and Mg3Al2Si3O12. Garnierite A nickel ore in the form of a silicate, with the formula (Ni,Mg)6Si4O10(OH)8. © 2005 by CRC Press

Gas Chromatography (GC) A chromatographic technique that identifies and separates various volatile components in a sample using a porous solid phase column as an adsorbent and a mobile gas phase to carry the components through the column. The results are plotted with the detector response as a function of time. The two most common detection techniques are FID (flame ionization detection) and TCD (thermal conductivity detection). The FID and TCD detectors involve measurement of change in the thermal conductivity of hydrogen flame by the organic vapors and direct thermal conductivity measurement of the eluted components, respectively. GC can be used for both qualitative and quantitative analysis of samples. Lower-molecular-weight compounds with compact structures and lower boiling points normally elute first, depending upon the affinity of the packing used in the chromatographic column. For example, in a nonpolar capillary column, methanol elutes before methoxyethanol. The quantitative analysis is based on the area under the peak and comparison with standards.8 Gehlenite A lime-rich aluminosilicate phase with the formula Ca2Al2SiO7. Gel A solid-state network with liquid trapped in the pores. As monomer polymerization proceeds, the viscosity of the solution increases, and after a point the liquid stops flowing, forming a gel. There are various ways to prepare inorganic gels; the two most common methods are the solgel process and the hydrothermal process. Most gels can be classified as particulate- (colloidal) or polymeric-type gels. Although the gel formation process can be reversible in a particulate system, it can be irreversible, as in the case of polymeric systems. Several oxide gels, such as silica, titania, and alumina, have a large organic component in the solid-state network with an aqueous or nonaqueous solvent filled in the pores. Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) See size exclusion chromatography (SEC). Gel Point The degree of reaction at which the viscosity of the sol, owing to polymerization or connectivity, increases drastically such that the liquid stops flowing. For example, in the sol-gel process, during sol-to-gel transition the liquid stops flowing and it forms a gel at the gel point. Getter A material used to remove a trace gas molecule, often oxygen, from a high temperature furnace or vacuum chamber. For example, materials such as carbon and zirconium are often used as oxygen getters to remove trace oxygen from high temperature processes. Certain high pressure, high temperature lamps also use getters to remove trace corrosive gases that form during operation from inside the lightbulb. Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR) The change in the electrical resistance of a material in response to an applied magnetic field. GMR devices are often made from multilayers of alternating ferromagnetic and conducting layers, 4 to 6 nm and 3 to 5 nm thick, respectively (e.g., NiFe or Au-Co alloys with a metallic conductor such as Cu), with the magnetic moments antiferromagnetically ordered, which leads to a high resistance state as the electron spins are anti-parallel to the magnetic dipoles. When a magnetic field is applied, the magnetic dipoles align with the field and the electron spins are also aligned parallel to these magnetic dipoles, leading to less scatter and a corresponding sharp drop in the resistance. Applications of GMR include magnetic field sensors and read-write heads for computer disks. See also anisotropic magnetoresistance, magnetoresistance, colossal magnetoresistance. Gibbsite An aluminum hydroxide with the formula Al(OH)3. The structure consists of a cubic close-packed (ccp) arrangement of (OH) ions within layers of edge-shared Al(OH)6 octahedra that are vertically stacked via H bonds. Glass An amorphous solid with a short-range order (local elemental environment) and without a long-range order or periodicity in the arrangement of the atoms. Glasses can be formed by supercooling the liquid melt or raw materials (powders) at a rapid rate to avoid crystallization or they can be prepared by polymerizing the monomeric precursors at room temperature via the sol-gel process. These glasses can be colored by adding the appropriate transition metals in the precursor solution or melt. The glasses can be made photosensitive and photochromic by adding optical sensitizers (e.g., cerium ions) or organic or inorganic compounds (e.g., Zn, Cd, Hg, Cu, Ag), respectively. Photosensitive glasses change color when they are exposed to light (ultra© 2005 by CRC Press

violet or x-ray) by reducing metal ion in the glass. Photochromic glasses change color when they are exposed to light but return to their original color when light is removed (e.g., sunglasses that automatically adjust to different light intensities). Glass-Ceramic Materials Crystalline materials with long-range order that are produced by the controlled crystallization (using nucleating agents) of appropriate glass compositions. These materials consist of 95 to 98% small crystals by volume and very small amounts of amorphous glass; as a result, they are much stronger than glass and can withstand pressures of as much as 30,000 psi in comparison to only 10,000 psi for glass compositions. For example, Li2OAl2O3 SiO2 is a glass ceramic with higher mechanical strength than SiO2 glass. Glycerate Metal salts derived from glyceric acid (HOOCCH(OH)COOH) that contains two carboxylic acid groups and one alcohol group. O C OH H C OH C O O Glycerate

Goethite An iron hydroxide with the formula F-FeOOH. Gouy Layer The outer diffused layer of opposite charge beyond the tightly bound layer surrounding the positively or negatively charged suspended particles in a dispersion or in a colloid. Also referred to as diffused double layer. Graded Refractive Index (GRIN) Glass Glasses composed of layers with increasing refractive indexes toward the center to minimize reflection at the surface. These glasses are also referred to as antireflective glasses. In these materials, the refractive index toward the surface of the glass is close to air, and the refractive index toward the center is close to that of dense glass. Grain Boundaries The interface or the plane of contact between two crystals of the same material resulting from the sintering process in which the fine particles neck and coalesce to form microscopic crystals. Grain Growth The process by which the grain size of a strain-free material increases continuously as a result of the attachment of smaller grains to larger grains or, in some cases, attachment of two or more larger grains. The grain growth is normally driven by the difference in the energy between large- and small-grain-size products. Materials produced from small-grain–large-grain attachment are denser compared with materials produced from attachment of large grains, which are porous. Graphite An intercalate solid with a layer structure composed of carbon only. Owing to the layer structure, graphite can be used as a solid lubricant or as an intercalating host for species such as alkali cations, halide anions, ammonia, and oxysalts. Green Density The density (mass/total volume) of the compacted ceramic powder before sintering.
