摘要
Ultrafine aluminum oxide powder in the size range 5-150 nm has been successfully synthesized by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using the reaction between trimethyl aluminum (TMAl) and oxygen. With increase in growth temperature, the rate of particle formation increased and particle size decreased. As-synthesized powders were amorphous with hydrocarbon impurity from partially reacted TMAl. Some gamma-phase was also present in as-synthesized powder grown at higher temperatures. On annealing, the amorphous phase transformed to gamma-phase above 1000-degrees-C and then to alpha-phase via the theta-phase above 1200-degrees-C. The alpha-phase was associated with particle coalescence and was sized at 50-200 nm.
