Cross-coupling at aryl halide thin films has been well-established as a technique for the surface-initiated Kumada catalyst transfer polymerization (SI-KCTP), used to produce covalently bound conjugated polymer thin films. In this work, we report that the spontaneous grafting of 4-iodobenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate on gold substrates creates a durable iodoarene layer which is effective as a substrate for cross-coupling reactions including SI-KCTP. Using cyclic voltammetry of a surface-coupled ferrocene terminating agent, we have measured initiator surface coverage produced by oxidative addition of Pd(t-Bu3P)2 and estimated the rate constant of the termination reaction in the SI-KCTP system with 2-chloromagnesio-5-bromothiophene and Pd(t-Bu3P)2. We used this system to prepare uniform polythiophene thin films averaging 90 nm in thickness.

AbstractWe report the growth kinetics of GaN thin films using the single source precursor bisazido dimethylaminopropyl gallium (BAZIGA) in a cold wall reactor. Transparent, smooth, epitaxial (FWHM of the αGaN 0002 rocking curve = 129.6 arcsec) and stoichiometric GaN films were grown on c-plane Al2O3 substrates in the temperature range of 870 – 1320K and high growth rates were obtained (up to 4000 nm/hr). Film growth was studied as a function of substrate temperature as well as reactor pressure. Although high quality films were obtained without using any additional source of nitrogen such as ammonia, we have investigated the effect of ammonia on the growth and properties of the resulting films. The films obtained were characterized by XRD, RBS, XPS, AES, AFM, SEM and the room temperature PL spectroscopy of GaN films grown exhibited the correct near band edge luminescence at 3.45 eV.

AbstractThe high-intensity pulsed ion-beam (HIPIB)/solid interaction results in the generation of an ablated plasma ( ∼1020 cm-3; ∼1 eV) which can be used to advantage for the deposition of thin films. Presented are the results of investigation on the deposition by HIPIB of thin films of high-melting metals, i.e. W, Ta, Mo, Nb, as well as of Al and Cu. The kinetics of the layer-by-layer film growth has been studied using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), transmission electron diffraction (TED) and reflection ellipsometry. The experiments were performed on a TEMP-2 supercurrent accelerator (ion energy 500 keV; ion current density at the target 200 A/cm ; power density (0.7 – 1.5) 108 W/cm2; pulse duration 60 ns; pulse repetition rate 8-10 min-1). The deposition of the films was carried out at room temperature at a high rate of 0.6 – 4.0 mm/s using (100)Si, (001)NaCl, glass and glass ceramic substrates.

The YBa2Cu3O7-x thin films formed by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD) have been reported to have excellent superconducting properties including a sharp zero resistance transition temperature (Tc) of 89 K and a high critical current density of 2.3x106 A/cm2 or higher. The origin of the high critical current in the thin film compared to bulk materials is attributed to its structural properties such as orientation, grain boundaries and defects on the scale of the coherent length. In this report, we present microstructural aspects of the thin films deposited on the (100) LaAlO3 substrate, which process the highest critical current density.Details of the thin film growth process have been reported elsewhere. The thin films were examined in both planar and cross-section view by electron microscopy. TEM sample preparation was carried out using conventional grinding, dimpling and ion milling techniques. Special care was taken to avoid exposure of the thin films to water during the preparation processes.
