AbstractInterdiffusion of sulfur and tellurium across the CdS/CdTe interface is fundamentally important in the operation of CdTe solar cells. However, the properties of the resulting alloy semiconductor, CdSxTe1-x, are not well understood. We have prepared films of this ternary material by pulsed excimer laser deposition (PLD) across the alloy range. These films were examined by x-ray diffraction, wavelength dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, optical absorption, and Raman scattering to determine the influence of sulfur content on the crystal structure, lattice constant, energy gap, and vibrational mode behavior.

In this study, the effect of grafting with magnesium (Mg) ratios (0.1, 0.3, 0.5) on the structural and optical properties of cadmium oxide films (CdO) was studied, as these films were prepared on glass bases using the method of pulse laser deposition (PLD). The crystallization nature of the prepared membranes was examined by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD), which showed that the synthesis of the prepared membranes is polycrystalline, and (AFM) images also showed that the increased deformation with magnesium led to an increase in the grain size ratio and a decrease in surface roughness, as well as the absorption coefficient was calculated. And the optical energy gap for the prepared membranes, where it was found that the absorption coefficient increases with the increase in the proportion of vaccination and that the energy gap decreases with increasing rates of vaccination.

ABSTRACTA PbTiO3(001) film grown on MgO(001) by pulsed laser deposition is examined as an example to demonstrate the applications of the domain stability map for epitaxial perovskite films which shows regions of stable domains and fractions of domains in a polydomain structure. X-ray diffraction studies indicate that the film has a …c/a/c/a… domain structure in a temperature range of °C to 400°C with the fraction of c-domains decreasing with increasing temperature. These experimental results are in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions based on the stability map.

Orthorhombic HoMnO3 films were prepared epitaxially on Nb-doped SrTiO3 single crystal substrates by using pulsed laser deposition technique. The films showed perfectly a-axis crystallographic orientations. X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy were used to characterize the films. The complex dielectric properties were measured as functions of frequency (40 Hz~1 MHz) and temperature (80 K~300 K) with a signal amplitude of 50 mv. The respective dielectric relaxation peaks shifted to higher frequency as the measuring temperature increased, with the same development of real part of the complex permittivity. The cole-cole diagram was obtained according to the Debye model, and the effects of relaxation process were discussed.

AbstractWe have studied the Pulsed-Laser Melting (PLM) effects on Ti implanted GaP to form an Intermediate Band (IB). Structural analysis has been carried out by means of Time of Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (ToF-SIMS), Raman spectroscopy and Glancing Incidence X-Ray Diffraction (GIXRD). After the PLM annealing, Ti concentration is over the Mott limit. Nevertheless, the Raman spectra show a forbidden TO vibrational mode of GaP. This result suggests the formation of crystalline domains with a different orientation in the annealed region regarding to the GaP unannealed substrate. This conclusion has been corroborated by GIXRD measurements. As a result of the polycrystalline lattice, a drop of the mobility is produced.

Ce1-xFexO2 (x=0, 0.01, 0.03 and 0.0 5) thin films were grown by pulsed laser deposition technique on Si and LaAlO3 (LAO) substrates. These films were deposited in vacuum and 200 mTorr oxygen partial pressure for both the substrates. These films were characterized by x-ray diffraction XRD and Raman spectroscopy measurements. XRD results reveal that these films are single phase. Raman results show F2g mode at ~466 cm-1 and defect peak at 489 cm-1 for film that deposited on LAO substrates, full width at half maximum (FWHM) is increasing with Fe doping for films deposited on both the substrates.

A technique to control the crystallinity of hydroxyapatite (HA) was investigated for applications such as dentistry, regenerative medicine, cell culture scaffolding, and bio-sensors. An amorphous HA film was first produced by pulsed laser deposition. After deposition, it was separated from a substrate as a free-standing sheet. Annealing was then performed to control the crystallinity of the sheet. It was found that conventional annealing in an electric oven was not suitable for HA sheets, because it led to curling and cracking. Since such problems were assumed to be caused by thermal stress, annealing was next carried out with the HA sheet enclosed in HA powder in the center of a metal capsule. This method allowed annealing to be successfully carried out without causing any curling or cracking. Uniform pieces with dimensions of 10 mm × 10 mm cut from a large HA sheet were annealed at temperatures of 200 to 800 ºC and then examined using X-ray diffraction. It was found that the intensity of the diffraction peaks associated with crystalline HA changed with annealing temperature, and that the strongest peaks were observed for the sample annealed at 500 ºC. These results indicate that the crystallinity of the HA sheet can be controlled using the proposed method.

We have developed a process to grow SrTiO 3 ( STO ) thin films showing single (110) orientation directly on Si by means of pulsed laser deposition technique. The growth of STO films directly on Si has been described. The crystallinity of the grown STO films was characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis of θ-2θ scan and rocking curve. Our results may be of interest for better understanding of the growth based on the perovskite oxide thin films on silicon materials.

Single-crystalline, epitaxial LaFeO3 films with 5 at. % substitution of Pd on the Fe site are grown on (100) SrTiO3 substrate by pulsed-laser deposition technique. The epitaxial orientation relationships are (110)[001]LFPO||(100)[001]STO. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy reveal that the LFPO films have high structural quality and an atomically sharp LFPO/STO interface. After reduction treatments of as-grown LFPO films, very little Pd escaped the LFPO lattice onto the film surface, the formed Pd (100) particles are oriented epitaxially, and parallel to the LFPO films surface.

High-quality c-axis-oriented Ca3Co4O9+δ thin films have been grown directly on Si (100) wafers with inserting MgO buffer layers by pulsed-laser deposition (PLD). X-ray diffraction and scan electron microscopy show good crystallinity of the Ca3Co4O9+δ films. The resistivity and Seebeck coefficient of the Ca3Co4O9+δ thin films on Si (100) substrates are 9.8 mΩcm and 189 μV/K at the temperature of 500K, respectively, comparable to the single-crystal samples. This advance demonstrates the possibility of integrating the cobaltate-based high thermoelectric materials with the current state-of-the-art silicon technology for thermoelectricity-on-a-chip applications.

AbstractEpitaxial films of Sr2RuO4 have been grown in situ by pulsed laser deposition on (100) LaAlO3 and (100) LaSrGaO4 substrates. X-ray diffraction results show that the films are single domain and grow c-axis oriented on (100) LaAlO3 and a-axis oriented on (100) LaSrGaO4 substrates. X-ray ø-scans indicate epitaxial alignment of the film and substrate in-plane axes in both cases. Resistivity versus temperature measurements reveal that the as-grown c-axis oriented films are semiconducting and the a-axis oriented films are metallic. The metallic films grown so far were found to be non-superconducting down to 50 mK.
