Metallic thin films are key components in electronic devices and catalytic applications. Deposition of a conformal metallic thin film require using volatile precursor molecules in a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. The metal centers in such molecules typically have a positive valence, meaning that reduction of the metal centers is required on the film surface. Powerful molecular reducing agents for electropositive metals are scarce and hampers the exploration of CVD of electropositive metals. We present a new CVD method for depositing metallic films where free electrons in a plasma discharge are utilized to reduce the metal centers of chemisorbed precursor molecules. We demonstrate this method by depositing Fe, Co and Ni from their corresponding metallocenes using electrons from an argon plasma as a reducing agent.

We investigate the transmission coefficient and persistent current of periodically arranged Aharonov-Bohm rings coupled to external leads. A general theory of quantum waveguide based on the transfer matrix method is developed and is used to study one-dimensional periodic ring structures. A precise expression for the transmission coefficient is derived. The results show that in the contacted ring case the conduction band electrons give rise to periodically arranged persistent currents in the structure, while the band gap electrons can cause giant persistent currents in the first few loops. We also observe isolated transmission peaks in the periodically arranged rings connected via leads.
