Pulsed laser deposition vs. matrix assisted pulsed laser evaporation for growth of biodegradable polymer thin films

Silver-poly(methyl methacrylate) nanocomposite thin films were deposited on silicon substrates by means of matrix-assisted pulsed laser deposition. Atomic force microscopy revealed that the surface morphologies of the silver-poly(methyl methacrylate) nanocomposite thin films were dependent on the matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation processing parameters. Films produced using 4% (by weight of solvent) silver nanoparticles exhibited the highest antimicrobial activity. Antimicrobial activity of the thin films was dependent on the silver concentration, the microenvironment created by the polymer–silver interaction, and the surface potential.

AbstractFerroelectrics are multicomponent materials with a wealth of interesting and useful properties, such as piezoelectricity. The dielectric constant of the BSTO ferroelectrics can be changed by applying an electric field. Variable dielectric constant results in a change in phase velocity in the device allowing it to be tuned in real time for a particular application. The microstructure of the film influences the electronic properties which in turn influences the performance of the film. Ba0.6Sr0.4Ti1-y(A 3+, B5+)yO3 thin films, of nominal thickness of 0.65 μm, were synthesized initially at substrate temperatures of 400°C, and subsequently annealed to 750°C, on LaAlO3 (100) substrates, previously coated with LaSrCoO conductive buffer layer, using the pulsed laser deposition technique. The microstructural and physical characteristics of the postannealed thin films have been studied using x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and nano indentation and are reported. Results of capacitance measurements are used to obtain dielectric constant and tunability in the paraelectric (T>Tc) regime.
