AbstractQualitative and quantitative studies of the oxidation of molecularly modified polycrystalline copper (Cu) thin films upon exposure to ambient air conditions for long periods (on the order of several months) are reported in this work. Thin films of Cu, prepared by thermal evaporation, were analyzed by means of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to gain an understanding on the growth mechanism of oxide on bare and molecularly modified Cu surfaces. The results from all techniques points for an unstable behavior of bare Cu surfaces characterized in very fast and continuous growth of Cu oxide layers during first 60 days of exposure to overall 6 nm oxide thickness. However, Cu films prepared under the same conditions, but covered with a self-assembled organic thin film layer of 1,4-phenylene diisocyanide (PDI) molecules adsorbed from solution, showed a decrease in the thickness of the copper oxide layer on the Cu surface. Our findings imply that chemisorbed PDI monolayers can serve as protective coatings for Cu.

Thin films of manganese dioxide (MnO2) were prepared by self-assembly of MnO2nanoparticles directly unto nickel-coated poly(ethylene terephthalate) flexible films using the newly developed horizontal submersion process. The thickness of deposited thin films was controllable by the deposition duration. This horizontal submersion deposition process for thin-film deposition is relatively easy, simple, and cost effective. Effects of deposition duration and calcination temperatures on the microstructure and electrochemical properties of self-assembled MnO2thin films were investigated. Optimized MnO2thin films exhibited high charge capacity, good cycling reversibility, and stability in a mild aqueous electrolyte and are thus promising electrode materials for the fabrication of thin-film electrochemical capacitors.

Abstract In a thin film microtransformcr with a magnetostrictive core, the amount of coupling between the two transformer coils depends on the strain the core is exposed to. Therefore, such a device lends itself to be used as a highly efficient strain gauge. This paper investigates the usefulness of “permalloy”, a NiFe alloy, as a magnetostrictive thin film core material. NiFe 81/19, a composition with a magnetostrictive coefficient close to zero, is widely in use in magnetic data recording. To find a NiFe composition with maximal magnetostriction, the nickel content of NiFe films (which containalso a small amount of Ta) was varied between 35% and 81%. The films were deposited by co-sputtering. As a result, the composition of choice for a magnetostrictive core material was NiFe 43/57.
