AbstractTitanium carbide films have been deposited using a hybrid magnetron sputtering/ pulsed laser deposition technique. One set of films was deposited at substrate temperatures ranging from room temperature to 600oC with no substrate bias, and a second set was deposited at 400°C bias voltages up to -150V. X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electron microscopy were employed for structural and compositional characterization of the films, and nano-indentation hardness testing and pin-on-disc wear tests were used to evaluate the mechanical and tribological properties. All the TiC films deposited without substrate bias were highly crystalline. The films deposited with bias had significantly reduced crystallinity and non-stoichiometric film compositions. The hardness of the TiC films increased with substrate temperature from 8 GPa at room temperature to 18 GPa at 600oC, whereas the biased films had a maximum hardness of 12 GPa. The wear test data showed significantly lower friction and longer wear life for the -150V biased film.

We report second harmonic generation (SHG) from ZnO thin films deposited by the pulsed laser deposition technique at ambient oxygen pressures ranging from 10 mTorr to 1 Torr on glass substrate at room temperature (RT). The dependence of SHG on grain size and thickness of the film is discussed.

ABSTRACTThin films of poly(tetrafluoroethylene) have been deposited on amorphous (7059 Corning Glass) and silicon(l00) substrates at various temperatures by the Pulsed Laser Deposition technique. The deposition was carried out at high vacuum (˜10-6 torr)at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 350°C. The mechanical properties of these films at the varying process temperatures have been evaluated by nano-indentation techniques and compositional properties of the films have been characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy. The deposition parameters have been optimized in order to produce good quality films.

Amorphous films Zr 0.8 Si 0.2 O 2 were deposited on quartz substrates at room temperature, by using pulsed laser deposition technique. After annealing at high temperature, Zr 0.8 Si 0.2 O 2 films suffer a phase separation to precipitate tetragonal ZrO 2 nanocrystals in ZrSiO 4 amorphous matrix. Their crystal structure, microstructure, optical absorbance and photoluminescence have been systematically investigated. Tetragonal ZrO 2 nanocrystals show intense UV emission around 392 nm under photonic excitation with a wavelength of 250 nm. The corresponding models of electronic excitation and transition related to UV emission also have been proposed.
