The electroplating behavior of nanocrystalline CoNiFe soft magnetic thin film with high saturation magnetic flux density and low coercivity was investigated using cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry methods in conjunction with the scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The results show that, the co-deposition of CoNiFe alloy behaves anomalously. And the nucleation/growth process of CoNiFe ternary alloy followed 3D instantaneous mechanism at higher potentials, while in the case of lower potentials it followed 3D progressive mechanism.

Rectifying behavior more than 3 orders of aligned zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods grown on Mg0.3Zn0.7O thin film template using chemical bath deposition method was observed, giving a barrier height of 0.75 eV, and the ideality factor achieved was almost 6, which was analyzed using thermionic emission theory. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) images revealed that the grown ZnO was in hexagonal shape, uniformly distributed and in vertically aligned form. The crystallinity of the sample being studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), where the highest peak was found at (002) phase, confirming that high crytallinity of ZnO was attained. The effect of metal/semiconductor junction between metal and aligned ZnO nanorods was discussed in further details.

The experimatal alloys were aged at different temperatures of 180°C, 200°C, 220°C, and 240º C with calcium addition levels of (X=0.5, 1, 1.5, 2%) on Mg-6Al-1Zn-XCa alloy were investigated in 3.5% NaCl solution. All the experimatal alloys were immersed in 3.5% NaCl solutions and the resulted surface were analyzed to study the corrosion behaviour and its surface topography by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersed spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The result shows that corrosion attack occurred predominantly on ß phase and α phase exhibit relatively minor corrosion. In addition to that the increased aging temperature coarsens the intermetallic as well as α- Mg grains, which shows adverse effect to corrosion resistances and the best result were obtained at composition of 0.5wt.% Ca aged at 200°C.

AbstractThin films of the Tl‐based superconductors often have relatively poor properties because of film/substrate interdiffusion which occurs during the anneal. We have therefore investigated the use of BaF2 as a diffusion barrier. TICaBaCuO thin films were deposited by dc magnetron sputtering onto MgO <100> substrates, both with and without an evaporation‐deposited BaF2 buffer layer, and post‐annealed in a Tl over‐pressure. Electrical properties of the films were determined by four‐point probe analysis, and compositions were measured by ion‐backscattering spectroscopy. Structural analysis was performed by X‐ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The BaF2 buffer layers were found to significantly improve the properties of the TICaBaCuO thin films.

AbstractThin-films of Ni and Ti were formed by sputter co-deposition of Ni and Ti onto amorphous SiO2 and single crystal NaCl and Sapphire substrates. Films were characterized as follows: a) The chemical composition of the films was analysed by EDAX b) The gross morphology was examined by Scanning Electron Microscopy. c) The crystal phases were indentified by X-ray diffraction and Electron diffraction. Intermetallic NiTi has been identified in samples annealed in vacuo at 850°C. Annealing at 500°C in vacuum produced chemical separation of the Ni and Ti. This effect may be due to a narrow solidus region for the existence of NiTi and inhomogeneities due to uneven deposition of the Ni and Ti.

Tin doped tetra-pod shaped ZnO (T-ZnO) were fabricated by equilibrant airflow reaction method. The microstructure of tin doped T-ZnO was characterized by X-ray Diffraction analysis and Scanning Electron Microscope. The results demonstrated that most of tin acted as a catalyst during the ZnO crystal growth process and the others reacted with ZnO to generate Zn2SnO4. Tin had catalytic influences on the morphology of T-ZnO, which promoted predominant growth on the c axis of ZnO crystal at the addition of 15% in weight and advanced the growth on the a axis at higher weight proportion.

Deformation induced martensite properties were examined according to existing martensite morphology, crystallography and formation temperatures for different prior austenite homogenization conditions in Fe-30%Ni-5%Cu alloy. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were employed to investigation. Scanning electron microscope observations showed elongated deformation induced martensite morphology in the austenite phase of alloy. As well, after deformation martensite start temperatures (Ms) were determined as -101?C and -105?C from DSC measurements for different homogenization conditions. In addition, X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the face centred cubic (fcc) of austenite phases and body centred cubic (bcc) deformation induced martensite phases for all studied samples.

AbstractWe have investigated the fabrication of thin-film superconductors by Cu-ion implantation into initially Cu-deficient Y(BaF2)Cu thin films. The precursor films were co-evaporated on SrTiO3 substrates, and subsequently implanted to various doses with 400 keV 63Cu2+. Implantations were preformed at both LN2 temperature and at 380°C. The films were post-annealed in oxygen, and characterized as a function of dose by four-point probe analysis, X-ray diffraction, ion-beam backscattering and channeling, and scanning electron microscopy. It was found that a significant improvement in film quality could be achieved by heating the films to 380°C during the implantation. The best films became fully superconducting at 60–70 K, and exhibited good metallic R vs. T. behavior in the normal state.

A corundum-type structure of cobalt niobate (Co4Nb2O9) has been synthesized by a solid-state reaction. The formation of the Co4Nb2O9 phase in the calcined powders was investigated as a function of calcination conditions by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. Morphology and particle size have been determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that the minor phases of unreacted Co3O4 tend to form together with the columbite CoNb2O6 phase at a low calcination temperature and short dwell time. It seems that the single-phase of Co4Nb2O9 in a corundum phase can be obtained successfully at the calcination conditions of 900°C for 60 min, with heating/cooling rates of 20°C /min.

Granular Co 30 Pt 70/ C and Co 45 Pt 55/ C films, consisting of nanoparticle CoPt phases embedded in a carbon matrix, have been made by co-sputtering from CoPt and C targets using a tandem deposition mode. X-ray diffraction shows the existence of hard CoPt phase embedded in an amorphous C matrix after annealing. The coercivities for CoPt/C are strongly dependent on C and Pt composition. Films with coercivity of up to 5.4 kOe and grain size of 7 nm can be obtained. The development of shoulder in hysteresis loop may be contributed to the co-existence of magnetic soft CoPt 3 and hard CoPt phases and the magnetic interactions between them. High remanence Mr/Ms (>0.8) found in our samples indicates the presence of the intergranular interactions in the samples. Observed positive contributions of δm also give evidence of the existence of exchange interaction. High coercivity and large Mr/Ms make granular CoPt/C film with magnetic nanoparticles very attractive for next-generation high-density recording.
