ABSTRACTCNx films were deposited using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and ion beam deposition (IBD). The PLD films deposited at substrate temperature Ts = 25°C and high N2 partial pressure have the highest N content (fN) and polymerlike structure, accompanied by large band gap (Eg) and low electrical conductivity (σroom). The rise in Ts lowers fN and induces graphitization of the film structure, so Eg reduces and σroom increases. IBD (with and without N2+ assist) films are graphitic. Higher Ts further enhances the graphitization of the film structure, such that the conduction and valence bands overlap, and σroom approaches to that of graphite. No evidence was found to show successful formation of the hypothetical β-C3N4 phase in the films.

ABSTRACTInitial experiments on the evaporation from metallic and ceramic targets using a pulsed light ion beam source is reported. The source is an intense ion beam produced by a 1.2 MV, 300 kJ Anaconda generator which has been fitted with an extraction diode.Beam fluences of 10–20 J/cm2 give a deposition rate of about 30–50 nm per shot, for both brass and YBa2Cu3O7-x (1–2–3) targets. This is about 1000 times greater than comparable rates from pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Single-shot ablated 1–2–3 films, deposited on Si, were analyzed using RBS; the measured stoichiometry was close to 1–2–3 in favorable cases, but shot-to-shot reproducibili ty was poor.Approximately 1% of the available ion beam energy was utilized for these initial experiments. The potential for producing large area coatings from multi-cation targets and nanophase powders using pulsed ion beam deposition will be discussed.
