By the decomposition of copper nitrate at 400 ℃, oriented islands of copperoxide crystals were successfully fabricated on the amorphous glass surface. X-ray diffraction (XRD), atom force microscope (AFM), and Xray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirm the presence of copper oxide islands. The formation of oriented island structures is attributed to the following reasons: 1) the mismatch between the glass substrate and the copper oxide crystals during the relaxation of thermal expansion leads to the formation of islands; 2) the preorganized copper nitrate particles in the voids of colloidal crystals determine their ordered spatial distribution; 3) the strain of the glass substrate developing during calcination provides the driven energy for the orientation of copper oxide crystals along the same direction.
