In the present study, Li-B-H films contained LiBH4 and Li2B12H12 were fabricated under different hydrogen pressures (20, 70 Pa) at ambient temperature by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The corrosion behaviors of the films were studied over a time of 1-24 h in the air at ambient temperature. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to analyze the formed oxidation film. The results indicated that an oxidation film with obvious cracks and holes were formed, which was composed by Li2B4O7 and Li2CO3. The films were mainly reacted with H2O and CO2, so the oxidation of Li-B-H could be prevented by avoiding exposed to air.

Amorphous carbon nitride films ( a-CN x) were deposited by pulsed laser deposition of camphoric carbon target with different substrate temperatures (ST). The influence of ST on the synthesis of a-CN x films was investigated. The nitrogen-to-carbon (N/C) and oxygen-to-carbon (O/C) atomic ratios, bonding state, and microstructure of the deposited a-CN x films were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and were confirmed by other standard measurement techniques. The bonding states between C and N , and C and O in the deposited films were found to be significantly influenced by ST during the deposition process. The N/C and O/C atomic ratios of the a-CN x films reached the maximum value at 400°C. ST of 400°C was proposed to promote the desired sp 3-hybridized C and the C 3 N 4 phase. The C–N bonding of C–N , C=N and C≡N were observed in the films.

AbstractA significant improvement in corrosion resistance of the protecting oxide of alloys has been observed when adding small amounts of reactive elements, such as yttrium, this effect has been called reactive element effect (REE). The general mechanism of the REE has not been determined yet. In this work, we study a growing of a yttrium oxide film and its interaction with the phases η and α that constitutes the alloy Zn-22Al-2Cu named ZinalcoTM The alloy's surface was coated by a pulsed laser deposition technique. The deposit is controlled and characterized by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The mechanism by which the reactive element produce its effects in this alloy is explained by the preferential interaction among the active sites related to the zinc rich phase and enhancing aluminum movement toward the surface where it is oxidized and the protection film formed.

Multilayers of TiC/Ti and TiC/B4C have been deposited by pulsed laser deposition. Ti, B4C, and TiC targets were used to deposit multilayer films onto 440C steel and silicon substrates at 40 °C. The structural, compositional, and mechanical properties of the multilayers were examined by x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and nanoindentation techniques. Tribological properties were also evaluated using a pin-on-disc friction and wear test. The TiC/Ti films were found to have a crystalline structure, and both (200)TiC/(100)Ti and (111)TiC/(101)Ti orientation relationships were found in these films. In the TiC/B4C films, only the sample with the largest bilayer thickness (25 nm) had significant crystallinity and only the TiC layer was crystalline. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy depth profiles confirmed the presence of composition modulations in these films. Nanoindentation tests of the TiC/Ti multilayers showed hardness levels exceeding that predicted by the rule-of-mixtures. The TiC/B4C multilayers showed increasing hardness with decreasing bilayer thickness but reached only 22 GPa. The pin-on-disc tests gave friction values ranging from 0.3 to 0.9 for both sets of films. These results were correlated with the degree of crystallinity and grain structure of the films.

Different kinds of anionic polyhydric alcohols water-borne polyurethane (WPU) emulsion and films were prepared by separately taking polypropylene carbonate polyol (PPC), polyethylene-1,4-buthylene adipate glycol (PBA) and polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMG) with the same molecular weight as soft segment. Their structure and properties were characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), rigidity, adhesive power, contact angle and water absorption. Comparing their properties, it was found that the rigidity, adhesive power and water resistance of PPC WPU were similar to those of PBA WPU.

AbstractFilms of MoS2 have been successfully deposited on 440C stainless steel using an excimer laser. A comparison was made of films ablated with the laser operating at 193 nm and at 248 nm. The effects of substrate temperature were also studied. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) measurements indicated that the films were sulphur rich as compared to single crystal MoS2. Laser Raman measurements indicated that annealing was necessary to obtain crystalline films. All films exhibited coefficients of friction in the neighborhood of 0.03 in a dry nitrogen environment. Coefficients of friction in laboratory air were significantly higher.

ZnO thin films were deposited on n-Si (111) substrates at various oxygen partial pressures by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to analyze the influence of the oxygen partial pressure on the crystallization and morphology of the ZnO thin films. An optimal crystallized ZnO thin film was observed at the oxygen partial pressure of 6.5Pa. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to analyze the surface components and distribution status of various elments in ZnO thin films. It was found that ZnO thin films were grown in Zn-rich state.

Substrate Interface

RuO2 thin films have been produced on silicon-based substrates by in situ pulsed laser deposition for the first time. The electrical properties, the surface characteristics, the crystalline structure, and the film-substrate interface of deposited samples have been investigated by 4-probe resistance versus temperature technique, scanning electron microscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy, respectively. The films show good electrical properties. The RuO2-substrate interface is very thin (≈3 nm), since it is not degraded by any annealing process. These two characteristics render our films suitable to be used as electrodes in PZT-based capacitors.
