Nd:YAG thin films have been prepared on Si (100) substrates by electron beam evaporation deposition. The surface morphologies, crystalline phases and optical properties of the Nd:YAG thin films were characterized by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, and spectrophotometer. The crystallization of Nd:YAG thin films was improved after annealing at 1100 °C for 1 hour in vacuum. Excited by a Ti:sapphire laser at 808 nm, photoluminescence spectra of Nd:YAG thin films were measured at room temperature, and the transition of4F3/24I11/2of Nd3+in YAG in the region of 1064 nm were detected by a liquid nitrogen cooled InGaAs detector array.

BSCCO thin films with T c (R = 0) higher than 80 K have been routinely prepared using a simple and reliable technique in which we completely electron beam evaporated weighted amounts of bulk pellets. The films were grown on MgO single crystal (100) substrates and showed, after an ex-situ annealing at high temperatures (840–880° C) for several hours, a strong preferential orientation with the c-axis perpendicular to the plane of the substrate. The films were characterized by Θ − 2Θ X-ray diffraction and EDS analysis and by paraconductivity and critical current measurements.

Single phase TiO2 thin films of anatase structure have been prepared by reactive electron beam evaporation. Epitaxial (012)- and (001)-oriented anatase films were successfully obtained on (110)- and (100)-oriented SrTiO3 substrates, respectively. X-ray diffraction and cross section transmission electron microscopy investigations revealed a good epitaxial quality of the anatase films grown on the SrTiO3 substrates.

This work deals with Al-Cu thin films, deposited onto glass substrates by RF (13.56MHz) magnetron sputtering, and annealed at 773K. The film thickness was approximately the same 3-4µm. They are characterized with respect to microstructure, grain size, microstrain, dislocation density and resistivity versus copper content. Al (Cu) deposits containing 1.8, 7.21, 86.17 and 92.5at%Cu have been investigated. The use of X-ray diffraction analysis and transmission electron microscopy lead to the characterization of different structural features of films deposited at room temperature (< 400K) and after annealing (773K). The resistivity of the films was measured using the four-point probe method. The microstrain profile obtained from XRD thanks to the Williamson-Hall method shows an increase with increasing copper content.

Al-doped CdO thin films were prepared by radio frequency magnetron sputtering at different deposition time and substrate temperature. X-ray diffraction showed that the changes in the intensities of the (200), (220), and (311) planes followed a similar trend with increase in deposition time. The surface of the thin film was examined by scanning electron microscopy. Grain sizes of Al-doped CdO thin films increased significantly with increasing deposition time. The film thicknesses were 0.09, 0.12, 0.20, and 0.225 μm for the deposition times of 1, 2, 3, and 4 h, respectively. The photoluminescence spectra of the Al-doped CdO thin films were measured at room temperature. The photoluminescence wavelength changed in the sequence, green, blue, green, and blue, with increasing deposition time, which indicates that blue light emitting films can be fabricated by adjusting the processing parameters.

ABSTRACTEpitaxial Ni films were grown on Si(111) substrates to a thickness of about 500 nm by ion beam assisted deposition at room temperature. The films were grown using 25-keV-Ni ions and electron-beam evaporation of Ni at a relative arrival ratio of one ion for every 100 Ni vapor atoms. The ion beam and evaporant flux were both incident at 45° to the sample surface. Standard θ-2θ X-ray diffraction scans revealed the extent of crystallographic texture, while Ni {220} pole figure measurements identified the azimuthal orientation of Ni in the plane of the film. Films grown without the ion beam consisted of nearly randomly oriented fine grains of Ni whereas with bombardment the Ni (111) plane was found parallel to the Si (111) plane. In all the epitaxial cases the Ni [110] direction was perpendicular to the axis of the ion beam, suggesting that the azimuthal orientation of the film was determined by channeling of the ion beam down {110} planar channels in the Ni film. Additional experiments with different ions, energies, and substrates revealed their influence on the degree of epitaxy obtained.

The prepared starting materials has composition Cd0.60Se0.40 was used to fabrication of thin films. Cadmium selenide thin films of different thickness (400nm-700nm) deposited by electron beam evaporation technique on well cleaned glass substrate at substrate temperature 300 K. The X-ray diffraction pattern confirmed that the prepared thin films of composition Cd 0.60Se 0.40 has polycrystalline in nature. The resistivity, conductivity, Hall mobility, carrier concentration of the deposited films were calculated of different films thickness..

Rutile N-doped TiO2thin films were grown by RF magnetron sputtering on amorphous and crystalline substrates at room temperature. The surface elemental analysis, investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicated that the nitrogen content of the films could be adjusted up to values as high as 4.1 at.%. As demonstrated by the X-ray diffraction data, the as-deposited films (100 200 nm thick) showed no detectable crystalline structure, while after successive annealing in air for one hour at 400°C, 500°C and 600°C, the (110) rutile peaks occurred gradually as dominant features. The rutile phase in the films was confirmed by the band gap values of the deposited materials, which stabilized at 3.1 eV, for the thin films having 200 nm thicknesses.

We report the synthesis of room temperature (RT) stabilized γ–Bi2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) at the expense of metallic Bi NPs through annealing in an ambient atmosphere. RT stability of the metastable γ–Bi2O3 NPs is confirmed using synchrotron radiation powder X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. γ–Bi2O3 NPs exhibited a strong red-band emission peaking at ~701 nm, covering 81% integrated intensity of photoluminescence spectra. Our findings suggest that the RT stabilization and enhanced red-band emission of γ‒Bi2O3 is mediated by excess oxygen ion vacancies generated at the octahedral O(2) sites during the annealing process.
