The Magnetic Field

Thin films of FeCuNbMoSiB have been sputtered on Corning glass substrates with thicknesses varying from 10 to 200 nm with post annealing at 450 °C and 550 °C. Annealing in the presence of the magnetic field applied along the plane of a substrate develops an uniaxial magnetic anisotropy with the in-plane easy axis. Estimation of the effective anisotropy constant from the magnetization measurements gave Keff = 3.23 kJ/m3. Structure and surface of the films were investigated with the X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), resistivity measurements, and Raman spectroscopy. XRD and resistivity analyses show that thermal annealing at 550 °C improves the crystalline fraction and Fe-Si grain size. Raman spectra identified hematite, goethite, magnetite, as well as graphite contamination of film surfaces.

First Time

Thin films of ZnWO4, a promising photocatalytic and scintillator material, were deposited for the first time using a reactive dual magnetron sputtering procedure. A ZnO target was operated using an RF signal, and a W target was operated using a DC signal. The power on the ZnO target was changed so that it would match the sputtering rate of the W target operated at 25 W. The effects of the process parameters were characterized using optical spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy, including energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy as well as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that stoichiometric microcrystalline ZnWO4 thin films could be obtained, by operating the ZnO target during the sputtering procedure at a power of 55 W and by post-annealing the resulting thin films for at least 10 h at 600 °C. As FTO coated glass substrates were used, annealing led as well to the incorporation of Na, resulting in n+ doped ZnWO4 thin films.

This paper presents the results of magnetic and microstructural study of cobalt-substituted NiZn ferrite powders, Ni0.5Zn0.3Co0.2Fe2O4, synthesized with the solid-state reaction method. The lattice parameter decreased with Co substitution, as the ionic radius of cobalt is less than that of zinc. Raman spectroscopy showed clear peaks of the A1g, Eg, and F2g modes, revealing cubic spinel structure and good crystallinity of the samples. The saturation magnetization reduced in the substituted sample to 50.28 emu/g at room temperature. In comparison to the bulk ferrite, the powder sample showed pronounced coercivity even at room temperature. The temperature dependence of the magnetization had superparamagnetic curvature, which yielded the effective anisotropy constant equal to 8.832 kJ/m3.

In this work we show the results on tile growth and optical characterization of TiO 2 thin films doped with Eu atoms. Eu:TiO2 films were grown at room temperature with different Eu concentrations by sol-gel on Si Corning glass substrates. A different crystalline structure is developed for the films deposited on Corning glass than those deposited on Si as observed from x-ray diffraction experiments. Room and low temperature photoluminescence (PL) was measured by using two different lines (325 and 442 nm) of a HeCd laser. A strong PL signal associated to the 5 D 0→7 F 2 transition from Eu +3 was observed. A better emission was obtained from those films deposited on Si substrates, Finally, the evolution of the PL signal is studied when the samples are annealed at different temperatures in O 2 atmosphere.

We have studied the effect of thickness on the structural, microstructural, electrical and magnetic properties of Ni films electrodeposited onto [Formula: see text]-Si (100) substrates. A series of Ni films have been prepared for different potentials ranging from [Formula: see text]1.6[Formula: see text]V to [Formula: see text]2.6[Formula: see text]V. Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), four point probe technique, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) have been used to investigate the physical properties of elaborated Ni thin films. From the analysis of RBS spectra, we have extracted the films thickness [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text] ranges from 83[Formula: see text]nm to 422[Formula: see text]nm). We found that the Ni thickness, [Formula: see text] (nm), linearly increases with the applied potential. The Ni thin films are polycrystalline and grow with the [Formula: see text] texture. The lattice parameter [Formula: see text] (Å) monotonously decreases with increasing thickness. However, a positive strain was noted indicating that all the samples are subjected to a tensile stress. The mean grain sizes [Formula: see text] (nm) and the strain [Formula: see text] decrease with increasing thickness. The electrical resistivity [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]cm) increases with [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text] less than 328[Formula: see text]nm. The diffusion at the grain boundaries may be the important factor in the electrical resistivity. From AFM images, we have shown that the Ni surface roughness decreases with increasing thickness. The coercive field [Formula: see text], the squareness factor [Formula: see text], the saturation field [Formula: see text] and the effective anisotropy constant [Formula: see text] are investigated as a function of Ni thickness and grain sizes. The correlation between the magnetic and the structural properties is discussed.

Wo3 Thin Films

Tungsten trioxide (WO3) thin films were deposited by Rf-magnetron sputtering onto Pt interdigital electrodes fabricated on corning glass substrates. NO2 gas sensing properties of the prepared WO3 thin films were investigated by incorporation of catalysts (Sn, Zn, and Pt) in the form of nanoclusters. The structural and optical properties of the deposited WO3 thin films have been studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV-Visible spectroscopy, respectively. The gas sensing characteristics of all the prepared sensor structures were studied towards 5 ppm of NO2 gas. The maximum sensing response of about 238 was observed for WO3 film having Sn catalyst at a comparatively lower operating temperature of 200°C. The possible sensing mechanism has been highlighted to support the obtained results.

Thin films of the Lu-Fe-O system were deposited by aerosol assisted MOCVD on silica glass substrates. Hexagonal h-LuFeO3, garnet Lu3Fe5O12, perovskite o-LuFeO3 or hematite Fe2O3 phases were obtained, depending on the thermodynamic deposition conditions or post annealing temperature. Magnetic measurements confirm the ferromagnetic behaviour at room temperature of the thin films with garnet phase. An indirect bandgap of 1.78 eV was measured.

Growth Properties

Ultrathin Ag and Ni/NiO films are sequentially produced on Corning glass and silicon substrates by means of magnetron sputtering. Post annealing treatment in a furnace with air at [Formula: see text]C and [Formula: see text]C may lead to the formation of Ag nanostructures in NiO environment. Some of these samples present local surface plasmon resonances (SPRs). The sequence in which each layer is deposited, as well as, the state of the structure on which the layer is deposited, appears to play a pivotal role in the optical properties of these nanostructures, which are attributed to the growth properties of the nanocomposite thin films. Ultimately, rigorous theoretical calculations have been made for comparison and discussion with the experimental results.

Higher Sensitivity

CNT-ZnO nanocomposite powders were synthesized by addition of carbon nanotubes (CNT) during the growth of ZnO nanoparticles using a wet-chemical method. These CNT-ZnO nanocomposites powder were then spin coated on corning glass substrates to obtain thin films which were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and current voltage characteristics. Hydrogen sensing (50- 1000 ppm) carried out on pure and CNT-ZnO nanocomposites at operating temperature of 250 and 300°C in N2 atmosphere (0.4±0.03 mbar) revealed higher sensitivity in 2 wt.% CNT-ZnO nanocomposite thin film compared to the pure ZnO thin film.
