The effect of annealing temperature on the magnetic and giant magnetostriction (GMS) of [ Fe / Tb / Fe / Dy ]n multilayer films were investigated. X-ray diffraction showed that the multilayer films' microstructures were still in amorphous at annealing temperature 300°C. The multilayer films began to crystalline at annealing temperature 400°C. The saturation magnetization of multilayer films increased by the increasing annealed temperature. The coercivity first decreased at annealing temperature 300°C and then increased when the annealing temperature was higher than 400°C. The multilayer films had good low-field GMS, and the magnetostriction of the multilayer films increased by the increasing annealing temperature.

A sol-gel autocombustion method was used to synthesize Al3+ ion-substituted cobalt ferrite CoAlxFe2−xO4 (x = 0–1.5). According to X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), cobalt ferrite was in a single cubic phase after being calcined at 1000 °C for 3 h. Moreover, the lattice constant decreased with increase in aluminum substituents. When the sample was analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), we found that uniformly sized, well-crystallized grains were distributed in the sample. Furthermore, we confirmed that Al3+ ion-substituted cobalt ferrite underwent a transition from ferrimagnetic to superparamagnetic behavior; the superparamagnetic behavior was completely correlated with the increase in Al3+ ion concentration at room temperature. All these findings were observed in Mössbauer spectra. For the cobalt ferrite CoAlxFe2−xO4, the coercivity and saturation magnetization decrease with an increase in aluminum content. When the annealing temperature of CoAl0.1Fe1.9O4 was steadily increased, the coercivity and saturation magnetization initially increased and then decreased.

Ni-Cr-Si-Al-Ta resistive thin films were prepared on glass and Al2O3substrates by DC magnetron cosputtering from targets of Ni0.35-Cr0.25-Si0.2-Al0.2casting alloy and Ta metal. Electrical properties and microstructures of Ni-Cr-Si-Al-Ta films under different sputtering powers and annealing temperatures were investigated. The phase evolution, microstructure, and composition of Ni-Cr-Si-Al-Ta films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). When the annealing temperature was set to 300°C, the Ni-Cr-Si-Al-Ta films with an amorphous structure were observed. When the annealing temperature was at 500°C, the Ni-Cr-Si-Al-Ta films crystallized into Al0.9Ni4.22, Cr2Ta, and Ta5Si3phases. The Ni-Cr-Si-Al-Ta films deposited at 100 W and annealed at 300°C which exhibited the higher resistivity 2215 μΩ-cm with −10 ppm/°C of temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR).

Zirconium-doped MgxZn1−xO (Zr-doped MZO) mixed-oxide films were investigated, and the temperature sensitivity of their electric and optical properties was characterized. Zr-doped MZO films were deposited through radio-frequency magnetron sputtering using a 4-inch ZnO/MgO/ZrO2 (75/20/5 wt%) target. Hall measurement, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmittance, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data were obtained. The lowest sheet resistance, highest mobility, and highest concentration were 1.30 × 103 Ω/sq, 4.46 cm2/Vs, and 7.28 × 1019 cm−3, respectively. The XRD spectra of the as-grown and annealed Zr-doped MZO films contained MgxZn1−xO(002) and ZrO2(200) coupled with Mg(OH)2(101) at 34.49°, 34.88°, and 38.017°, respectively. The intensity of the XRD peak near 34.88° decreased with temperature because the films that segregated Zr4+ from ZrO2(200) increased. The absorption edges of the films were at approximately 348 nm under 80% transmittance because of the Mg content. XPS revealed that the amount of Zr4+ increased with the annealing temperature. Zr is a potentially promising double donor, providing up to two extra free electrons per ion when used in place of Zn2+.

The evolution of designed [(Ti-Te)]x[(Sb-Te)]y, [(Bi-Te)]x[(Sb-Te)]y, [(Ti-Te)]w[(Bi-Te)]x[(Sb-Te)]y and [(Ti-Te)]w[(Bi-Te)]x[(Ti-Te)]y[(Sb-Te)]z precursors were followed as a function of annealing temperature and time using both low and high angle x-ray diffraction techniques to probe the self assembly into nanolaminate materials. The [(Bi-Te)]x[(Sb-Te)]y precursors were found to interdiffuse at low temperatures to form a (BixSb1-x)2Te3 alloy. The [(Ti-Te)]x[(Bi-Te)]y and [(Ti-Te)]x[(Sb-Te)]y precursors formed ordered nanolaminates [{(TiTe2)}1.35]x[Bi2Te3]y and [{(TiTe2)}1.35]x[Sb2Te3]y respectively. The [(Ti-Te)]w[(Bi-Te)]x[(Sb-Te)]x precursors formed [{(TiTe2)}1.35]w[(Bi0.5Sb0.5)2Te3]2x nanolaminates on annealing, as the bismuth and antimony layers interdiffused. Over the range of TiTe2 thicknesses used in [(Ti-Te)]w[(Bi-Te)]x[(Ti-Te)]y[(Sb-Te)]z precursors, Bi and Sb were found to interdiffuse through the 2-4 nm thick Ti-Te layers, resulting in the formation of (BixSb1-x)2Te3 alloy layers as part of the final nanolaminated products. When the Bi-Te and Sb-Te thicknesses were equal in the amorphous precursors, symmetric [{(TiTe2)}1.35]m[(Bi0.5Sb0.5)2Te3]n nanolamiantes were formed. When the thicknesses of Bi-Te and Sb-Te layers were not equal in the amorphous precursor, asymmetric [(TiTe2)1.35]m[(BixSb1-x)2Te3]n[(TiTe2)1.35]m[(BixSb1-x)2Te3]p nanolaminates were formed. These results imply that to form (A)w(B)x(C)y nanolaminates using designed layered precursors all three components must be immiscible. To form (A)x(B)y(A)x(C)z nanolaminates, the components must be immiscible or the precursor to the A component and the A component itself must be an effective interdiffusion barrier preventing B and C from mixing.

ABSTRACTThe structures of equal-thickness Co/Re multilayer films and several Co/Re bilayer films have been investigated by X-ray diffraction at low and high angles. Analysis of low-angle reflectivity data from bilayer films indicates that interfacial intermixing is limited to three monolayers and that the two interfacial configurations are different. The high-angle X-ray diffraction data show that multilayer films have coherent interfaces and a highly textured structure with hep [002] orientations normal to the film plane for periods 21 Å ≤ Λ ≤220 Å. Detailed structures have been determined by fitting the X-ray spectra to calculated ones using a trapezoidal model. The results indicate that samples with 42 Å≤ Λ ≤220 Å have relatively sharp interfaces, in good agreement with the bilayer results. In addition, an out-of-plane expansion of the Co (002) layer is observed in samples with large Λ and results from structural disorder leading to a reduced atomic density. For Λ <21 Å the interfaces arise from the rougher surfaces of the deposited layers.

ZnO Nanostructures have been successfully deposited on of Porous silicon (PSi) via wet colloid chemical approach. PSi was prepared by electrochemical etching method. ZnO/PSi thin films were annealed in different temperature in the range of 300 °C to 700 °C. Surface morphology studies were conducted using field emission scanning microscopy (FESEM). Flower-like structures of ZnO were clearly seen at annealing temperature of 500 °C. The X-ray diffraction spectra (XRD) have been used to investigate the structural properties. There are three dominant peaks referred to plane (100), (002) and (101) indicates that ZnO has a polycrystalline hexagonal wurtzite structures. Plane (002) shows the highest intensities at annealing temperature of 500 °C. Based on plane (002) analysis, the sizes were in range of 30.78 nm to 55.18. In addition, it was found that the texture coefficient of plane (002) is stable compared to plane (100) and (101).

Erbium and silicon were dual implanted into thermally grown SiO2 film on Si (110) substrates, followed by thermal treatment at 700–1200 °C for 30 min. The microstructure was studied by transmission electron microscope and x-ray diffraction. When the implanted films were annealed at T > 900 °C, the silicon nanocrystals (nc-Si) enwrapped by amorphous silicon (a-Si) could be observed. The thermal quenching behavior at λ = 1.535 μm and its relation with the annealling temperature were also investigated. With increasing annealing temperature, the portion of a-Si and the thermal quenching both decreased. Efficient luminescence from Er ions and weak intensity thermal quenching were obtained from the sample annealed at 1100 °C. The role of a-Si in non-radiative processes at T > 100 K is discussed.

Cu–Mn–Dy resistive thin films were prepared on glass and Al2O3 substrates, which wasachieved by co-sputtering the Cu–Mn alloy and dysprosium targets. The effects of the addition ofdysprosium on the electrical properties and microstructures of annealed Cu–Mn alloy films wereinvestigated. The composition, microstructural and phase evolution of Cu–Mn–Dy films werecharacterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electronmicroscopy and X-ray diffraction. All Cu–Mn–Dy films showed an amorphous structure when theannealing temperature was set at 300 °C. After the annealing temperature was increased to 350 °C,the MnO and Cu phases had a significant presence in the Cu–Mn films. However, no MnO phaseswere observed in Cu–Mn–Dy films at 350 °C. Even Cu–Mn–Dy films annealed at 450 °C showedno MnO phases. This is because Dy addition can suppress MnO formation. Cu–Mn alloy filmswith 40% dysprosium addition that were annealed at 300 °C exhibited a higher resistivity of ∼2100 μΩ·cm with a temperature coefficient of resistance of –85 ppm/°C.

X-ray diffraction, Mossbauer spectroscopy, and magnetic measurements have been used to study the phase formation and doping during mechanical synthesis (MS) and subsequent annealing of the alloy (Fe0.80Cr0.05Ni0.15)75C25. It has been shown that, after MS, the nanocomposite contains mainly two phases – an amorphous phase and cementite A. During annealing, as a result of crystallization of the amorphous phase, cementite B is formed, in which contains more nickel than in the mechanically synthesized cementite A. As the annealing temperature increases, austenite, which is inhomogeneous in nickel content, is formed. The Curie temperature of this austenite reaches 500 °C. It has been determined that cementite in the mechanosynthesized nanocomposite (Fe,Cr,Ni)75C25 has a higher temperature stabilitythan that in a MS composite (Fe,Ni)75C25.
