For the analysis of the measurement of thermoelectric parameters of semiconductors, the Harman pulsed method was used. The authors propose a new approach to determine the thermoelectric quality factor of thin semiconductor films in the temperature interval (300 ÷ 500) K by directly measuring a series of electric circuit parameters. The theory of the method is described in detail and its application in the measurement methodology. The dependences of electrical quantities on the time, namely voltage – V(t), are investigated at different values of current pulses for thin films PbTe<Tl> grown by the pulsed laser deposition.

AbstractIn this paper the results on p-type ZnS, ZnSe, CdS and CdSe thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition will be discussed. these films were deposited on GaAs substrates. Li-doping has been shown to be effective in producing p-type II-VI thin films, while in-doping is excellent for n-type CdS and CdSe thin films. No post-annealing process was used. these preliminary results suggest a possible new approach through pulsed laser deposition to solve the doping problem of II-VI compound semiconductors.

Glass-oxide interfaces play important roles in developing the properties of liquid-phase sintered ceramics and glass-ceramic materials. Deposition of glasses in thin-film form on oxide substrates is a potential way to determine the properties of such interfaces directly. Pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) has been successful in growing stoichiometric thin films of multicomponent oxides. Since traditional glasses are multicomponent oxides, there is the potential for PLD to provide a unique method for growing amorphous coatings on ceramics with precise control of the glass composition. Deposition of an anorthite-based (CaAl2Si2O8) glass on single-crystal α-Al2O3 was chosen as a model system to explore the feasibility of PLD for growing glass layers, since anorthite-based glass films are commonly found in the grain boundaries and triple junctions of liquid-phase sintered α-Al2O3 ceramics.Single-crystal (0001) α-Al2O3 substrates in pre-thinned form were used for film depositions. Prethinned substrates were prepared by polishing the side intended for deposition, then dimpling and polishing the opposite side, and finally ion-milling to perforation.

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.
