SrTiO3 thin film was successfully prepared on the functionalized organic self-assembled monolayers（SAMs） by the Liquid Phase Deposition（LPD） method.The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction（XRD）,atomic force microscope（AFM）,scanning electron microscopy（SEM） and metallographic microscope.Measurement of contact angle showed that the hydrophobe substrate was changed into hydrophile by UV irradiation.AFM photographs of octadecyl-trichloro-silane self-assembled monolayer（OTS-SAM） surface approved that UV irradiation did change the morphology of OTS monolayer and provided evidence for the conversion of hydrophilic characteristic.Photographs of Metallographic Microscope showed that OTS-SAM had an active effect on the deposition of SrTiO3 thin film.XRD and SEM indicated that the thin film was of pure cubic phase SrTiO3 and composed of nanosized grains with a size in the range of 100-500 nm.The formation mechanism of the SrTiO3 film was proposed.
Bi_2Fe_4O_9 nanoparticles were prepared at low temperature via a facile, one-step hydrothermal synthesis process using iron(Ⅱ) nitrate nonahydrate(Fe(NO_3)_3·9H_2O) and bismuth nitrate pentahydrate (Bi(NO_3)_3·5H_2O) as starting materials and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) as the precipitant and mineralizer. XRD results indicate that the as-prepared nanoparticles are pure Bi_2Fe_4O_9. SEM images reveal that the as-prepared Bi_2Fe_4O_9 nanoparticles have a sheet-like morphology. The Bi_2Fe_4O_9 nanoparticles thus obtained are paramagnetic at room temperature as shown by magnetic measurements.
