Thin films composite materials consisting of metallic nanocrystals embedded in an insulator host have been synthesized using alternating-target pulsed laser deposition of Fe/Ni and Al2O3. The evaluation of structural quality of the thin film composites using high resolution transmission electron microscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy with atomic number contrast has revealed the formation of a biphase system with thermodynamically driven segregation of Ni and alumina during pulsed laser deposition. The best hardness values of the thin film composites, measured using nanoindentation techniques, was found to 20–30% larger than pure alumina films fabricated under identical conditions. The improvement in values of hardness of Al2O3 thin films by embedding metal nanocrystals is related to the evolution of a microstructure which efficiently hinders the manipulation and movement of dislocation and the growth of microcracks, which in turn, is achieved by grain boundary hardening.

AbstractSr2(Ta1划x, Nbx)2O7(STN) ferroelectric thin films have been prepared on SiO2/Si(100) substrates by the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method. Preferential (110) and (151)-oriented STN thin films are deposited at a low temperature of 600°C in N2O ambient gas at 0.08 Torr. A counterclockwise C-V hysteresis was observed in the metal-ferroelectric-insulator-semiconductor (MFIS) structure using Sr2(Ta0.7, Nb0.3)2O7 on SiO2/Si deposited at 600°C. Memory window in the C-V curve spreads symmetrically towards both positive and negative directions when applied voltage increases and the window does not change in sweep rates ranging from 0.1 to 4.0×103 V/s. The C-V curve of the MFIS structure does not degrade after 1010 cycles of polarization reversal. The gate retention time is about 3.0×103 sec when the voltages and time of write pulse are ±15V and 1.0 sec, respectively, and hold bias was -0.5 V.
