In this work, (Fe,Co)–Zr–B–Cu films have been deposited on glass and Si substrates by DC magnetron sputtering method. X-ray diffraction analysis was used to identify the structure of the films. A transmission electron microscope (TEM) was employed to observe the microstructure for the films. Magnetic properties at room temperature were investigated by a Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). It was obtained that the as-deposited films on glass and Si substrates were in an amorphous state. In addition, it has been found that the coercivity is dependent on film thicknesses.

AbstractHierarchical nickel microwires with nanothorns were fabricated through a reduction of nickelous salt with hydrazine in diethanolamine. The product was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The growth mechanism of the nickel microwires with nanothorns is proposed, based on the evolution of the structures and morphologies, which could be ascribed to the cooperative effect of the complexant of diethanolamine and inherent magnetic interactions. Magnetic properties of the product were measured at room temperature and compared with other shaped counterparts.

ABSTRACTLaser physical vapor deposition (LPVD) has been used to deposit thin CoSi2 films on (001)silicon at different substrate temperatures ranging from room temperature to 600°C. Particulate-free silicide thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Rutherford backscattering, and high resolution transmission electron microscopy. We have found that films deposited at 200°C and below are amorphous; 400°C deposited films are polycrystalline whereas films deposited at 600°C are of epitaxial nature. The Effect of subsequent annealing on resistivity of room-temperature deposited thin films has been investigated. The resistivity value decreases to less than 15 μΩcm after annealing making these films suitable for microelectronics applications. The correlation between microstructure and properties of these films are discussed.

Sputtering Power

Ultra-thin Al films were deposited with different deposition times on silicon wafer and copper grid by dc magnetron sputtering. The sputtering power of 200 watt and Ar flow rate of 20 sccm were used to prepare the films. The deposition times were 40, 120 and 240 second, respectively. The deposited Al films were, then, left in the air under the humidity of 60% for 20 days. The crystal structure of ultra-thin Al films deposited on silicon wafer and copper grid were investigated by glazing x-ray diffraction (GXRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. The XRD results show that after the ultra thin Al films were exposed to the air, the Al was oxidized and the Al2O3 was formed at room temperature. In addition, Al deposited for 120 and 240 second can form polycrystalline of -Al2O3 with preferred orientations of (110) and (311) planes. The TEM images show that the particle size of -Al2O3 was about 8.5 nm for deposited time of 120 second. Moreover, the spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) data and simulation model of Bruggemann effective medium approximation (BEMA) was used to determine the volume fraction of Al2O3.

Microstructure And Magnetic Properties

By combining the unique microstructure of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with the good magnetism of CoFe 2 O 4 ferrites, CoFe 2 O 4/CNTs nanocomposites were prepared by the solvothermal method for the application of targeting therapy and tumor hyperthermia. X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravity analysis (TGA), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) were introduced to study the influence of the solvothermal temperature, time and the CNTs content on the microstructure and magnetic properties of CoFe 2 O 4/CNTs nanocomposites. The diameter of CoFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles coating on the surface of CNTs and the saturation magnetization (Ms) increased with the solvothermal temperature. CoFe 2 O 4/CNTs nanocomposites prepared at 180°C, 200°C and 220°C exhibited superparamagnetism at room temperature, while the samples prepared at 240°C and 260°C presented ferromagnetism. And the solvothermal time and CNTs content slightly affected the microstructure and magnetic properties, Ms and coercivity (Hc) increased slightly with the increasing solvothermal time and the decreasing CNTs content.

In addition, the magnetic properties of the obtained ferrites have been studied at room temperature, showing that the magentic properties of ferrites closely depended on the chemical composition of M2+.

Nanosized LaFeO3material was prepared by 3 methods: high energy milling, citrate gel, and coprecipitation. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) show that the orthorhombic LaFeO3phase was well formed at a low sintering temperature of 500°C in the citrate-gel and co-precipitation methods. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) observations indicate that the particle size of the LaFeO3powder varies from 10 nm to 50 nm depending on the preparation method. The magnetic properties through magnetization versus temperatureM(T)and magnetization verses magnetic fieldM(H)characteristics show that the nano-LaFeO3exhibits a weak ferromagnetic behavior in the room temperature, and theM(H)curves are well fitted by Langevin functions.

A series of ( Fe 50 Co 50)x Cu 1-x granular films were prepared using a magnetron-controlled sputtering system. The microstructure and giant magnetoresistance of FeCo–Cu films deposited at room temperature and then annealed at various temperatures were investigated through X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope and conventional four-probes method under room temperature, respectively. The results revealed that FeCo–Cu films consisted of fine FeCo granules uniformly dispersed in the Cu matrix and formed fcc structure. Meanwhile the Cu (111) interplaner lattice spacing decreased with increasing magnetic volume fraction (x) due to the presence of the metal coherent interface strains and FeCo–Cu alloying. Upon varying the magnetic volume fraction (x), the giant magnetoresistance of as-deposited FeCo–Cu films reached a maximum of about 0.7% at the volume fraction of 31%, corresponding to the fact that the giant magnetoresistance has a non-monotonic relationship with the granule size. In addition, the relationship between the full width at half maximum (FWHM) or the sensitivity of the giant magnetoresistance and the volume fraction are discussed in detail.

WO3 and Ti-doped WO3 electrochromic films were prepared by mid-frequency dual-target magnetron sputtering method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and spectrophotometer were used to characterize the structure, morphology, composition and transmittance properties of the films, respectively. The results show that this method is available to deposit WO3 and Ti-doped WO3 electrochromic films. The as-deposited films prepared at room temperature are amorphous and display good transmittance. The difference value of transmittance between the bleached and coloration states of WO3 film is above 60% at 633nm. Ti-doped WO3 films have smoother surface and smaller grains than undoped ones. Moreover, the crystalline temperature increases after doping titanium, because the titanium atoms influence the lattice distortion of the WO3 films. So it is more convenient for Li+ ions to inject into films and can enhance the response speed and stability of Ti-doped WO3 electrochromic films.

Microstructure And Magnetic Properties

Magnetite nanoparticles have been synthesized by a co-precipitation method under magnetic fields (0~1 T) at room temperature. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and their microstructure analysis were evaluated on a Mössbauer spectrum. It was found that the Fe 3 O 4 samples produced under a magnetic field of 1 T had a much higher saturation magnetization (15.3 emu/g) than those produced under 0.6 T (7.56 emu/g) and 0 T magnetic fields (6.59 emu/g). This interesting result implies that magnetic fields can affect the growth of Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles and further change the microstructure and crystallinity of Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles. It is expected that this process could also be a promising technique to improve the magnetic properties of other magnetic materials.
