O-Polar ZnO(0001̄) single crystals and ZnO and Mg-doped ZnO films which were subsequently deposited on the ZnO crystals by pulsed laser deposition were electrochemically investigated through the interfaces with ionic liquids in a vacuum.

AbstractHigh quality ITO thin films were grown hetero-epitaxially on extremely flat substrate of (001) YSZ by a pulsed laser deposition technique at a substrate temperature of 600°C. The crystal orientation relationship between the film and YSZ were confirmed as ITO (001) // YSZ (001) and ITO (010) // YSZ (010), respectively, by HR-XRD and HR-TEM. The carrier densities of the films were almost equal to Sn02 concentration in the films. That is, almost all the doped Sn4+ ions were activated to release electrons to the conduction band. The carrier densities of the films were enhanced up to 1.9×1021cm−3, while the Hall mobility showed a slight, almost linear, decrease from 55 to 40cm2V−1s−1 with increasing SnO2 concentration. The low resistivity is due to larger electron mobility, which most likely resulted from good crystal quality of the films. The optical transmissivity of the film exceeded 85% at wavelengths from 340 to 780nm.

In this study, BiFeO3 (BFO) epitaxial film was deposited on SrRuO3 (100)/SrTiO3 (100) substrates using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Phase pure BFO thin film was obtained. Introducing a mask between the target and substrate in PLD improved the surface roughness from 47.8 nm (RMS, without mask) to 7.7 nm (RMS, with mask). The composition and electrical properties of BFO thin film were assessed after annealing for 1 h in Ar, N2, or O2 atmosphere at 600°C. The P-E hysteresis properties improved only in the O2 atmosphere. After annealing under O2 atmosphere, the leakage current decreased from 6.1 × 10-2 A/cm to 2.9 × 10-2 A/cm at 200 kV/cm, as in the other annealing atmospheres, but 2Pr increased from 35 BC/cm2 to 50 BC/cm2.

ABSTRACTWe report the synthesis of polycrystalline films of La1-xCaxMnO3 in Si (111) by Polymer Assisted Deposition (PAD). An aqueous solution polyethyleneimine (PEI) and different metal ions stabilized with EDTA, was spin coated on hydrophilized Si substrates and subsequently annealed under different atmospheres. Homogeneous, dense polycrystalline films are obtained at optimized conditions of 950 ºC under flowing O2. The morphology and magnetic properties of the samples are compared with films obtained by Pulsed Laser Deposition.

Glass-oxide interfaces play important roles in developing the properties of liquid-phase sintered ceramics and glass-ceramic materials. Deposition of glasses in thin-film form on oxide substrates is a potential way to determine the properties of such interfaces directly. Pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) has been successful in growing stoichiometric thin films of multicomponent oxides. Since traditional glasses are multicomponent oxides, there is the potential for PLD to provide a unique method for growing amorphous coatings on ceramics with precise control of the glass composition. Deposition of an anorthite-based (CaAl2Si2O8) glass on single-crystal α-Al2O3 was chosen as a model system to explore the feasibility of PLD for growing glass layers, since anorthite-based glass films are commonly found in the grain boundaries and triple junctions of liquid-phase sintered α-Al2O3 ceramics.Single-crystal (0001) α-Al2O3 substrates in pre-thinned form were used for film depositions. Prethinned substrates were prepared by polishing the side intended for deposition, then dimpling and polishing the opposite side, and finally ion-milling to perforation.
