A MOLYBDENUM OXIDE PHOTOTRANSISTOR AND METHOD OF SYNTHESIS THEREOF

摘要

A method of synthesizing a molybdenum oxide phototransistor, the method comprising: placing a foil of molybdenum in a furnace; placing a sheet of muscovite (K(Al2)(Si3Al)O10(OH)2) at a predetermined distance from the foil of molybdenum in the furnace; controlling airflow into the furnace to provide sufficient oxygen for crystalline growth of potassium-intercalated molybdenum oxide (KxMoO3) while maintaining a preset temperature of the furnace for a time period to produce the KxMoO3 nanowire; transferring the KxMoO3 nanowire onto a substrate; and forming a covering of electrodes on the nanowire to produce the molybdenum oxide phototransistor.
