AbstractMirror like Molybdenum thin films on SS substrate in vacuum (10−3Pa) and in Helium environment has been achieved by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) Technique. The PLD thin films of Molybdenum have been characterized by using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) pattern, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX). The specular reflectivity was recorded with Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectrometer and UV-Visible spectrometer. The optical quality of the thin films was tested via interferometric technique. At the optimum deposition parameters, the crystal orientation was in Mo(110) phase. The FIR-UV-Visible reflectivity of the mirror was found to be closed to that of the polished bulk Molybdenum and Stainless Substrate (SS) substrate.

Abstract:Gallium nitride thin films were grown by pulsed laser deposition. Subsequently, post-growth annealing of the samples was performed at 400, and 600 oC in the nitrogen atmosphere. Surface morphology of the as-grown and annealed samples was performed by atomic force microscopy, surface roughness of the films improved after annealing. Chemical analysis of the samples was performed using x-ray photon spectroscopy, stoichiometric Gallium nitride thin films were obtained for the samples annealed at 600 oC. Optical measurements of the samples were performed to investigate the effect of annealing on the band gap and optical constants the films.

By pulsed laser deposition, lead potassium niobate Pb2KNb5O15 was grown on (001) oriented Gd3Ga5O12 substrate using a platinum buffer layer. The PKN thin films were characterized by X-Ray diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The dependence of their structural properties as a function of the deposition parameters was studied. It has been found that the out of plane orientation of PKN film depends on the oxygen pressure used during the growth. Indeed, PKN thin film is oriented [001] for low pressure and is oriented [530] for high pressure. For these two orientations, the crystalline quality of PKN film was determined using omega scans.

Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique is a very powerful method for fabricating various oxide thin films due to its native merits. In this study, gallium and nitrogen co-doped ZnO thin films (0.1 at.%) were deposited at different temperatures (100-600°C) on sapphire (001) substrates by using PLD. X-ray diffractometer, atomic force microscope, spectrophotometer, and spectrometer were used to characterize the structural, the morphological and the optical properties of the thin films. Hall measurements were also carried out to identify the electrical properties of the thin films.

(La0.7Sr0.3)MnO3 (LSMO) thin films were prepared on Si (100) substrate by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Both structure and surface morphology of the films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Furthermore, the chemical states and chemical composition of the films were determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) near the surface. The results indicate that the films grown on Si (100) substrates have a single pseudo cubic perovskite phase structure with a high (100) orientation. The XPS results show that La, Sr and Mn exist mainly in the forms of perovskite structure and a SrO layer was found on outermost surface.

Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O (BPSCCO) and Bi-Pb-Sb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O (BPSSCCO) thin films were grown on MgO single crystal substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The deposition was carried out at room temperature during 90 minutes. A Nd:YAG excimer laser ( = 355 nm) with a 2 J/pulse energy density operated at 30 Hz was used. The distance between the target and substrate was kept constant at 4,5 cm. Nominal composition of the targets was Bi1,6Pb0,4Sr2Ca2Cu3O and Bi1,6Pb0,4Sb0,1Sr2Ca2Cu3OSuperconducting targets were prepared following a state solid reaction. As-grown films were annealed at different conditions. As-grown and annealed films were characterized by XRD, FTIR, and SEM. The films were prepared applying an experimental design. The relationship among deposition parameters and their effect on the formation of superconducting Bi-system crystalline phases was studied.

ABSTRACTAIN thin films have been grown epitaxially on Si(111) and Al2O3(0001) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. These films were characterized by FTIR and UV-Visible, x-ray diffraction, high resolution transmission electron and scanning electron microscopy, and electrical resistivity. The films deposited on silicon and sapphire at 750-800°C and laser energy density of ∼ 2 to 3J/cm2 are epitaxial with an orientational relationship of AIN[0001]║ Si[111], AIN[2 110]║Si[011] and AlN[0001]║Al2O3[0001], AIN[1 2 1 0]║ Al2O3[0110] and AIN[1010] ║ Al2O3[2110]. The both AIN/Si and AIN/Al2O3 interfaces were found to be quite sharp without any indication of interfacial reactions. The absorption edge measured by UV-Visible spectroscopy for the epitaxial AIN film grown on sapphire was sharp and the band gap was found to be 6.1eV. The electrical resistivity of the films was about 5-6×l013Ω-cm with a breakdown field of 5×106V/cm. We also found that the films deposited at higher laser energy densities ≥10J/cm2 and lower temperatures ≤650°C were nitrogen deficient and containing free metallic aluminum which degrade the microstructural, electrical and optical properties of the AIN films

AbstractThe growth, structural and cathodoluminescent (CL) properties of europium activated yttrium oxide (Eu:Y2O3) thin films are reported. The Eu:Y2O3 films were grown in-situ using a pulsed laser deposition technique. Our results show that Eu:Y2O3 films can grow epitaxially on (100) LaAlO3 substrates under optimized deposition parameters. The epitaxial growth of Eu:Y2O3 films on LaAlO3, which has a lattice mismatch of ∼ 60 %, is explained by matching of the atom positions in the lattices of the film and the substrate after a rotation. CL data from these films are consistent with highly crystalline Eu:Y2O3 films with an intense CL emission at 611 nm.
