This article reports the use of plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) to grow AlN on Si (111) substrate at 850°C under UHV conditions for 15, 30, and 45 min. The films were characterized by high-resolution X-ray diffraction (HR-XRD) and micro-Raman spectroscopy. XRD measurement revealed that the AlN was epitaxially grown on Si (111). Micro-Raman result showed that all the allowed Raman modes of AlN and Si were clearly visible. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been used to investigate the A1 (LO) and E1 (TO) modes with frequencies (890–899) cm-1 and (668–688) cm-1, respectively. The results are in good agreement with reported phonon frequencies of AlN grown on Si (111).

The properties of the absorber layer of solar cell CuInSe2(CIS) thin film made by electro-depostied method were researched in this article. Different concentration of reactant and voltage was applied to prepare the CIS film. The micro-Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) of CIS film was carried out. A correlation between the linewidth A1 mode of Raman spectrum and the XRD line and the voltage of electro-deposition technology was found.

AbstractWe have fabricated highly resistive materials PrBa2 (Cu1-xMx) 3O7 (M=Al, Ga, x = 0.20) by doping metals Ga and Al on PrBa2Cu3O7(PBCO). X-ray data indicated no significant second phases in substituting Cu by Al or Ga up to 20%.The electrical resistivity of these materials were three to four orders in magnitude higher than PBCO at 200K, which may give an effective potential barrier to YBCO in high Tc S-I-S Josephson junction. Epitaxial thin films of these materials were grown using KrF excimer laser on LAO (110) single crystal substrates. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were deployed to study the crystal orientation, epitaxy and roughness of the single crystal thin films. Micro Raman spectroscopy was carried out to investigate the dopant site in PBCO.

We report the systematic substitution of Nb at the Cu1 site of YBa2Cu3Oy in thin films to form a new phase of YBa2Cu2NbO8. These films were deposited on SrTiO3(100) crystals using pulsed laser deposition and deposited at an optimal temperature of 850 °C. Films were characterized using x-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), micro-Raman spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. XRD of these films indicate c-axis oriented YBa2Cu2NbOy formation. XPS and micro-Raman spectroscopy analysis suggests Cu exists in the +2 state.

AbstractSEM–EDX and Raman spectroscopy analysis of radioactive compounds is often restricted to dedicated instrumentation, within radiological working areas, to manage the hazard and risk of contamination. Here, we demonstrate application of WetSEM® capsules for containment of technetium powder materials, enabling routine multimodal characterisation with general user instrumentation, outside of a controlled radiological working area. The electron transparent membrane of WetSEM® capsules enables SEM imaging of submicron non-conducting technetium powders and acquisition of Tc Lα X-ray emission, using a low cost desktop SEM–EDX system, as well as acquisition of good quality μ-Raman spectra using a 532 nm laser.
