AbstractA sample holder is designed and constructed for the Seemann-Bohlin diffractometer obtained by converting a Siemens horizontal X-ray diffractometer with the help of a mechanical linkage. This sample holder allows one to use a vacuum deposited thin film sample, curved to a radius of curvature equal to that of the diffraction circle. It is found that using a curved sample instead of a flat one increases the peak intensity by about 20% and reduces the profile broadening, measured at half its maximum intensity, from (0.85 ± 0.10)° 4

A series thin film sample of YBCO with different value of Tc was studied by high-resolution X-ray diffraction. Two different threading dislocations, the in-plane twist and the out-of-plane tilt, were studied carefully. It is found that the value of Tc is much more sensitive to the substrate normal tilt than to the in-plane twist. Dislocations with different Burgers vectors are suggested to exert different influence on the value of Tc of the YBCO thin film. The screw dislocation in the film is strongly influences the properties of the YBCO.

The first direct valence-selective structure determination by X-ray fluorescence holography is reported. The method is applied to investigate an epitaxial thin film of the rare earth monoxide YO, which has recently been synthesized by pulsed laser deposition. The surface of the sample is easily oxidized to Y2O3. In order to separate the structural information connected with the two different valence states of Y, the X-ray fluorescence holography measurements were performed close to the YKabsorption edge. Using the shift of the absorption edge for the different valence states, very different relative contributions of YO and Y2O3are obtained. Thus, it is possible to distinguish the crystal structures of YO and Y2O3in the thin-film sample.

ABSTRACTCyclic indentation was performed on standard fused quartz, single crystal Ni3Al (111) and nanocrystalline Ni-25at. %Al alloy thin film with average grain size of a few nanometers. For the thin film sample, it is found the scattering of the effective Young's modulus at small depths goes far beyond the expectation from effects due to surface roughness alone. Three representative deformation mechanisms during initial contact stage were identified to be responsible for the scattering with the assistance of immediate pre and post indentation atomic force microscopy imaging. Furthermore, repeated loading was found to stiffen the thin film sample, but not the bulk ones.

Measurements indicate that the initial oxidation rate of a thin film of silver is linearly proportional to the atomic oxygen flux; however, the oxidation coefficient is dependent upon the technique for depositing and chemically reducing the thin film. A model is developed relating the conductance of a thin-film sample to its oxidation. The measurements and the model indicate that the silver film is very promising as a sensor of upper atmospheric atomic oxygen. The model also indicates that the surface recombination coefficient of atomic oxygen depends on the oxide thickness as well as the flux.
