Abstract

樹枝狀結構 奈米柱陣列 Dendritic Patterns Nanopost
This thesis can be concluded in two parts. In the first part, we use experiments to explore how to use an efficient way to fabricate dendritic structure. In this article, we found through nanopost arrays arrangement can develop a passive component to induce the branching distribution of self-organization dendritic inorganic salt structures. It needs expensive equipment to work on these nanostructures related topics because fabrication process is difficult. We found the structure arrangement in nanopost array can affect the branching angle distribution in micro-scale dendritic structure and in a very short time without complicated environment control. In our experiment, we chose inorganic salt to create the DP because inorganic salt is low-cost, and easy to be obtained. The second part of this thesis, we use an independent numerical simulation research to study how to use precursor passive geometric structure or active induction to affect the formation process of dendritic structure. Microstructure formation can be mainly categorized in two ways: (1) active: such as using electric field to control the arrangement of molecules (using external force to change the morphology of molecules or material; (2) passive: material structure forms through pre-designed components. On the issue of engineering, the most difficult part of self-organization structure in fabrication is there are only limited strategies can be utilized in the fabrication control.We hope we can propose another strategy to modify this process through appropriate artificial disturbance
