Definitions

• This invention relates to materials for manufacturing of write-once-read many (WORM) recording media suitable for holographic data recording and storage.
• the invention can be used for manufacturing of recording media including, but not limiting to CD write-once (CDR), DVD write-once (DVDR) discs, cards and tapes.
• CD write-once (CDR) CD write-once
• DVD write-once (DVDR) discs cards and tapes.
• the invention can be used not only in holographic data recording and storage but also in other applications, like producing of holograms, sculpturing of artistic works, sculpturing of industrial articles, etc. Description of the prior art
• Materials for writing permanent volume holograms generally involve irreversible photochemical or photo thermal reactions within a photo recording material.
• the bright regions of the optical interference pattern trigger these reactions. Since these reactions are accompanied by change of refraction index the relevant recording materials are known in the art as photo refractive materials.
• the material of the invention in its different embodiments will be referred-to as photo refractive material.
• recording mediums employing photo refractive materials on ⁇ can mention for example holographic data memory described in US 2003/0161018. This memory has a polymer film, which is set up as a storage layer whose refractive index can be changed locally by heating.
• Materials containing inorganic particles dispersed in a transparent media are of great interest for recoding because these materials show very high photochemical stability, very small shrinkage after recording and they do not need any treatment after recording since those areas of the media, which were not exposed to the recording radiation are not sensitive to light.
• JP61053090 optical disc provided with recording layer that contains pulverous semiconductor particles of Ge, Te and InSb dispersed uniformly within bulk of chemically stable dielectric mate r ial.
• the materials containing inorganic particles show excellent durability, they enable recording and erasing over a long period of time and enable obtaining a high signal level. Recording in these materials occurs due to the transition between a crystalline phase and an amorphous phase that is peculiar to dielectrics or due to the dissociation of nanoparticles as in the case of Gold particles dispersed in polymers under heating by a laser pulse.
• the main object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved photo refractive material for manufacturing of recording media.
• Another object of the invention is provide a new and improved photo refractive material and recording media, which is capable to record information upon pulse laser irradiation, while the photo refractive material contains nanoparticles of chalcogenide containing compounds dispersed within a matrix consisting of organic polymers or within a matrix consisting of inorganic glassy materials.
• the further object of the invention is to provide a new and improved material and recording media, which is defined by the following properties:
• Still further object of the invention is to provide a new photo refractive material employing nanoparticles, which exhibit fast and irreversible transformation from amorphous or metastable crystalline state to a stable crystalline state upon exposure to pulsed laser radiation with energy ⁇ 3 mJ/mm and duration of the pulse from 1 up to 50 ns.
• Yet another object of the invention is to provide a new and improved photo refractive material employing nanoparticles, distributed within a hosting matrix, while the particles are defined by a core portion, which substantially remains in a stable crystalline state during recording and by a shell portion, which covers the core portion and which is substantially either in an amorphous or in a metastable crystalline state, wherein this shell portion is capable to undergo irreversible transformation into stable crystalline state upon exposure to pulsed laser radiation.
• the present invention can be implemented in its various embodiments, which comprise the photo refractive material as such, method of preparation of the photo refractive material and various recording media manufactured from the new photo refractive material. This media comprises but is not limited to optical CD and DVD disks including multilayer disks.
• Fig. Ia shows schematically the structure of the photo refractive material of the present invention.
• Fig. Ib shows enlarged shell layer Of Bi 2 S 3 formed on core portion consisting Of Sb 2 S 3 .
• the shell layer has the same structure as the initial core portion and it is obtained by substitution of Sb 3+ ions by Bi 3+ ions.
• Fig. Ic shows schematically shell layer Of Bi 2 S 3 formed upon laser pulse irradiation of a core portion consisting of mixed sulfide Bi 2 S 3 / Sb 2 S 3 .
• Fig. 2 is an example of threshold dependence of diffraction efficiency on recording energy for nanoparticles consisting of Sb 2 S 3 core portion covered by Bi 2 S 3 shell portion.
• Concentration of the particles in polyvinyl alcohol is 3.75x10 "3 M.
• Fig. 3 shows how diffraction efficiency depends on concentration of nanoparticles composed of core portion consisting of sulfide of antimony and shell portion consisting of sulfide of bismuth.
• a photo refractive material 10 of the invention which comprises a polymeric or inorganic glasslike matrix 12 and nanoparticles 14, distributed within the bulk of the matrix.
• the nanoparticles absorb recording pulsed laser radiation and upon heating undergo phase transition accompanied by change of their structure, which, in its turn, results in essential change in refraction index.
• Temperature of nanoparticle increases with increasing of the laser pulse energy and with decreasing of the laser pulse duration.
• the phase transition occurs when temperature of nanoparticle is equal or exceeds the temperature of the phase transition.
• Temperature of nanoparticles depends on the heating rate, which is inversely proportional to the laser pulse duration and to the heat diffusion rate.
• temperature of nanoparticles decreases due to some other processes like dissociation of nanoparticles and of the surrounding matrix. These processes are associated with absorption of energy and loss of heat and therefore with retardation of the phase transition.
• the phase transition induced by the pulse laser radiation is associated with producing of heat assisting to maintain the phase transition in spite of the above mentioned heat losses. Since this heat partially compensates for the heat losses the photo refractive material has improved holographic sensitivity, because it requires less energy to initiate and sustain the phase transition.
• the structural change namely the transition from metastable crystalline phase into stable crystalline phase or the transition from amorphous phase into stable crystalline phase. Both structural changes are employed in the photo refractive material of the present invention.
• the nanoparticles can be synthesized in such a manner that they are defined by a crystalline nucleous, which is covered by a non ⁇ crystalline amorphous or metastable shell.
• the nucleous is referred to as core portion and the shell as shell portion.
• FIG. Ib An example of the shell portion is schematically depicted in Fig. Ib, which shows very enlarged outer layer (shell portion) obtained on a nucleus (core portion) consisting of Sb 2 S 3 .
• the shell portion is comprised Of Bi 2 S 3 that is obtained by partial substitution of Sb 3+ ions by Bi 3+ in Sb 2 S 3 .
• Fig. Ic demonstrates the stable structure Of Bi 2 S 3 formed upon laser pulse radiation of Sb 2 S 3 /Bi 2 S 3 mixed sulfide.
• diameter of the nanoparticles varies from 5 to 50 nm.
• the thickness of the shell portion lies between 10 and 30 % of the nanoparticle diameter.
• the concentration of the nanoparticles in the polymer matrix lies between 5xlO '3 and 5xlO '2 M being preferably 1x10 "2 M.
• the nanoparticles are substantially homogeneously distributed within the matrix and center-to-center distance between adjacent particles lies between 20 and 100 nm.
• the nanoparticles have round shape or slightly elliptical shape.
• either the core portion or the shell portion consists of a compound, which is capable to produce heat upon exposure to pulsed laser radiation and to undergo phase transformation.
• a compound which is capable to produce heat upon exposure to pulsed laser radiation and to undergo phase transformation.
• Such compounds are for example chalcogene- containing compounds.
• the particular chemical composition of the core portion and the shell portion usually is dissimilar, but might be also identical.
• the structure of the shell portion is similar to the structure of the core portion. Under laser heating the metastable crystalline phase and amorphous phase changes its structure and refraction index. This change is accompanied by producing of heat and therefore the nanoparticles temperature depends less on the heating rate and the rate of heat diffusion.
• the photo refractive material of the invention exhibits threshold properties, namely recording occurs when the energy of the laser pulse exceeds some value. Due to the heat, which accompanies the phase transition, this threshold value is significantly lowered. It can be readily appreciated that by virtue of this provision lasers with less power would be required for recording. On the other hand, light beams with smaller energy could be used for reading of the recorded information, which means that photo refractive material of the invention would be not sensitive to prolonged exposure to daylight and therefore the media manufactured from this material would not need any treatment after recording. Concentration of nanoparticles within the matrix, their chemical composition and size are chosen to obtain recording medium with the necessary resolution, the highest number of pages in the hologram, and with the high photosensitivity.
• the nanoparticles are composed from chemical compounds, which produce heat upon pulsed laser irradiation. It has been found that it is especially advantageous for this purpose if the nanoparticles are composed of sulfides, selenides or tellurides as well of chemical compounds containing two or more metallic chalcogene, e.g. sulfur and selenium, sulfur and tellurium, selenium and tellurium. It should be born in mind, however, that the nanoparticles could be composed also from other compounds if these compounds are capable to produce heat upon laser irradiation and undergo phase transformation from metastable form to stable crystalline form accompanied by the change of refraction index.
• the nanoparticles may contain the core portion comprised of azides, like Cu(N 3 ) 2 or Cd(N 3 ) 2 covered by the shell portion composed of sulfide. Under laser heating the azide decomposes while producing energy that maintains phase transformation of sulfide in the shell portion.
• the nanoparticles with required chemical composition are produced by virtue of chemical reaction between soluble salts of transition or non-transition metals and chalcogene containing compounds, i.e. compounds containing sulfur, selenium and tellurium. This reaction is carried out in a solution containing a stabilizer, polymer or a hardening compound. The reaction can be conducted at ambient temperature, however it is advantageous if this reaction is conducted at elevated temperature.
• photorefractive materials of the invention can be used for holographic data recording and storage. It has been found that photo refractive materials of the invention exhibit very small shrinkage, which is about 0.01%. This can be explained by the fact that the phase transition cannot essentially change the small size of nanoparticles in the matrix.
• suitable chalcogene containing compounds comprises hydrides of sulfur, selenium, and tellurium, soluble sulfides of alkaline metals, selenosulfites, tellurides etc.
• the chemical reaction can be conducted in the presence of stabilizers like sodium polyphosphate, trioctyl phosphine oxide or mercaptoacetic acid, which prevent the produced nanoparticles from aggregation during precipitation.
• Polymers like polyvinyl alcohol or gelatin can also be used as stabilizers.
• the chemical reaction can be conducted in such a manner that the produced nanoparticles consist of compounds containing a single chalcogene element or more than one chalcogene element. This is achieved by precipitation or by substitution reactions.
• a source of sulfur, selenium or tellurium is added to the solution containing salts of two or more metals.
• An example of _ • ⁇ itable reaction can be . interaction of sodium sulfide with acidic solution of bismuth and antimony chlorides.
• ions capable to form insoluble chalcogene containing compounds on the surface of the core portion are added to dispersion of nanoparticles in water and in the presence of a stabilizer.
