Titanium nitride (TiN) thin films were deposited by reactive pulsed laser deposition (RPLD) technique. For the first time, the composition evaluated from proton elastic backscattering spectrometry, in a quantitative manner, revealed a dependence on the partial pressure of nitrogen from 1 to 10 Pa. Grazing incidence-XRD (GI-XRD) confirmed the formation of predominantly nanocrystalline TiN phase with a crystallite size of around 30 nm. The hardness showed maximum value of ~30 GPa when the composition is near stoichiometric and the friction coefficient was found to be as low as 0.3. In addition, a systematic optical response was observed as a function of deposition pressure from the surface of the TiN films using spectroscopic ellipsometry.

HA and HA+Y2O3 films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition. The microstructure and composition of films were studied by EPMA, XRD, AFM and SEM. In vitro study was performed by immersing the sample in simulate body fluid (SBF) in different days. There are more droplets on films prepared by HA+Y2O3 target than that of HA. And addition of Y2O3 can decrease the size of crystal grains. The XRD results show that the peaks corresponding to HA slightly shift to lower angel which indicates the HA lattice distorting due to addition of Y2O3. The critical load of the films increases from 10.3N to 13N when Y2O3 added. The film prepared by target HA+Y2O3 shows a higher resistance to dissolution and the precipitated grain size is small. New precipitated phases have similar functional groups with the original films.

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.
