Abstract

Hypergravity-assisted chemical liquid deposition (HACLD) is an effective method to increase the density of and improve the flatness of the films prepared using chemical reaction. Here, we have demonstrated the entire HACLD film deposition process and explained the film deposition mechanism, which had not been shown before. In this paper, HACLD method was utilized to deposit silver (Ag) films on the inner surface of quartz tubes for exploring the film formation process. One of the obtained Ag films exhibited a structure of uniformly distributed nanoparticles (NPs) with the mean size of about 50 nm. The film-forming mechanism of the single-layer nano-granular film prepared with HACLD method was revealed by studying the film-forming process, the effects of the hypergravity and the temperature distribution on the growth process of Ag NPs. This attempt may provide an understanding of the film-forming mechanism in hypergravity.
