Abstract The synthesis of organic and inorganic thin films based on nickel phthalocyanine (NiPc) and nickel oxide NiO nanoparticles. the thin films prepared by spin coating technic. The volume of the solution dropped on each slide is 50 micro liter at room temperature. Nanocomposites thin films NiPc:NiO with different percentage 1:0 75:25, 50:50, 25:75 and 0:1 are analysed using FESEM and EDX. The study of morphology and chemical composition of the synthesized thin films revealed the formation of NiPc in the form of rods and nickel oxide similar to spherical clusters. The EDX spectra revealed the appearance of oxygen in a high percentage in some samples, perhaps as a result of the chemical and physical adsorption. This is the first study on the combination and description of NiPc:NiO nanocomposite.

Strontium substituted hydroxyapatite(SrHAp) were fabricated both in the form of powder as reference and thin film by using inorganic precursor reaction. The sol-gel process has been used for the deposition of SrHAp layer on stainless steal 316L substrate by spin coating technique, after that the films were annealed in air at various temperatures. The chemical composition of SrHAp is represented (SrxCa1-x)5(PO4)3OH, where x is equal to 0, 0.5 and 1.0. Investigations of the phase structure of SrHAp were carried out by using X-ray diffraction technique (XRD). The results showed that strontium is incorporated into hydroxyapatite where its substitution for calcium increases in the lattice parameters, and Sr3(PO4)2 can be detected at 900°C. The SEM micrographs showed that SrHAp films exhibited porous structure before develop to a cross-linking structure.

Quartz crystal microbalances (QCM) are transducers for chemical and biochemical sensing. The oscillation frequency of QCM is affected by the adsorbed mass on the surface. In this work, a new room temperature type gas sensor device fabricated by organically hybridized plasma deposition of tetramethyltin (TMT) and oxygen. Post treatment with poly ethylene glycol (PEG) was developed to detect the ambient environmental smother, and the responses of the fabricated sensor to smother detection were investigated. SnO x C y thin films on the sensor electrodes were obtained by plasma deposition from TMT and O 2 gas mixtures at room temperature. A spin coating post treatment on the SnO x C y thin films turns into hydrophilic property. The response of the QCM sensor to the smother detection shows a frequency drop during the burning of candle and has good detection sensitivity with Δf equal to 2400 Hz. Repeated smother testing with the QCM type smother detection sensor also indicates the stability of the fabricated sensor.

AbstractThin films of mixed of Copper Phthalocyanine (CuPc) and Nickel Phthalocyanine (NiPc) are deposited onto a pure glass substrate by a simultaneous thermal evaporation technique at room temperature. The material D.C. electrical conductivity of films at room temperature and also films annealed at 523 K has been investigated. The optical absorption and band gaps of the films are also measured. The results show that the electrical resistance is lower for the mixed films compared with the pure samples and also the optical band gap decreases for the mixed samples compared to the pure samples.

In this study, PMMA/TiO2 nanocomposite thin films were prepared by using sonication spin coating technique. The PMMA and TiO2 solution were mixed together and sonicated for 1h to confirm the homogeneity of the sample. The thin films obtained were then measured using atomic force microscopy (AFM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). FESEM micrograph reveals that the uniformity increases with the increase of TiO2 weight percentage.

The paper presented the structure (TEM), morphology and chemical composition (EDS) of the -Al-Mg thin films and Al-Mg-Ni multilayer obtained by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). This films were deposited using Nd:YAG laser. The different process parameters were applied. The Al-Mg film was obtained by application of the laser wavelength (=355 nm) and substrate temperature (Ts) 200 oC. Whereas the Al-Mg-Ni multilayer was produced at lower laser wavelength (=266 nm) and at room temperature of the substrate. For preparation of both films the same laser fluence (q=4.7 J/cm2) was used. The Al-Mg possessed nanocrystalline structure with the areas where only columnar Al crystals occurred. EDS of this thin film exhibited that in the nanocrystalline areas the chemical composition corresponded to the target content of Al and Mg. While Al-Mg-Ni multilayer composed of six layers. In this case Al-Mg layers were thinner then Ni layers. In the multilayer structure the fcc Al0.65Mg0.35 and fcc Ni phases was revealed.
