AbstractPulsed laser ablation (PLA) is an emerging technology that provides a mechanism to deposit lubricious films and to tailor film properties by the appropriate choice of substrate materials, deposition parameters and post deposition treatments. The properties of MoS2 films deposited by PLA are evaluated as a function of: (1) substrate material, (2) duration of post deposition annealing treatments using 248 nm laser radiation and (3) substrate temperature during deposition. The chemistry and crystal structure of the different films are determined using small angle X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS). The tribological properties of the films are then evaluated as a function of their chemistry and crystal structure.

AbstractA study of the impact of surface preparation and post-deposition annealing on contact resistivity for sputtered Ni and Co contacts to thin film Bi2Te3 is presented. The contact resistance values obtained using the transfer length method (TLM) for Ni is compared to Co as a potential contact metal to Bi2Te3. Post-deposition annealing at 100°C on samples that were sputter cleaned reduces the contact resistivity to < 10-7 Ω-cm2 for both Ni and Co contacts to Bi2Te3. Co provided similar contact resistance values as Ni, but had better adhesion and less diffusion into the thermoelectric (TE) material, making it a suitable candidate for contact metallization to Bi2Te3 based devices.

AbstractWe have reproducibly prepared thin films of Bi‐Sr‐Ca‐Cu‐O with Tc ≥ 105K. Depositions were done at ambient temperature with a subsequent post‐deposition anneal, and did not include lead substitution. X‐ray diffraction data indicates a majority fraction of the 2223 phase. These films possess very large grains of the order of 20‐30 u.m in size. Post‐deposition annealing conditions are a sensitive function of composition. Detailed transport measurements as a function of temperature and magnetic field have been obtained.

In this paper, the surface properties of bare and film-covered gallium nitride (GaN) of the wurtzite form, (0001) oriented are summarized. Thin films of several elements—manganese, nickel, arsenic and antimony—are formed by the physical vapour deposition method. The results of the bare surfaces as well as the thin film/GaN(0001) phase boundaries presented are characterized by X-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopies (XPS, UPS). Basic information about electronic properties of GaN(0001) surfaces are shown. Different behaviours of thin films after post-deposition annealing in ultrahigh vacuum conditions, such as surface alloying, subsurface dissolving and desorbing, are found. The metal films form surface alloys with gallium (NiGa, MnGa), while the semi-metal (As, Sb) layers easily evaporate from the GaN(0001) surface. However, the layer in direct contact with the substrate can react with it modifying the surface properties of GaN(0001).
