Pulsed laser deposition has been used to make two sets of lead magnesium niobate thin films grown on single-crystal h100j MgO substrates. One set was fabricated using a perovskite-rich target while the other used a pyrochlore-rich target. It was found that the growth conditions required to produce almost 100% perovskite Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 (PMN) films were largely independent of target crystallography. Films were characterized crystallographically using x-ray diffraction and plan view transmission electron microscopy, chemically using energy dispersive x-ray analysis, and electrically by fabricating a planar thin film capacitor structure and monitoring capacitance as a function of temperature. All characterization techniques indicated that perovskite PMN thin films had been successfully fabricated.

ABSTRACTNiobium diselenide has potential for use as a conductive lubricant, but to achieve the optimal properties of low friction coefficient, high conductivity and oxidation resistance, the SeJNb ratio and crystallinity must be carefully controlled. It has been shown that Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) permits the required degree of control, even over films with complex stoichiometries. (4–8). In this study, PLD was used to grow stoichiometric, crystalline thin films of niobium diselenide and to study the effects of laser deposition parameters on film properties. Film chemistry and crystallinity were evaluated using XPS, RBS, and glancingangle XRD. Friction and wear measurements were taken on a ball-on-flat tribometer. The deposition apparatus incorporates a fully computerized data acquisition and control system that facilitated the correlation of the laser deposition parameters to film properties. This study has shown that film chemistry could be changed from substoichiometric to superstoichiometric and crystallinity varied between amorphous to highly crystalline by appropriate choice of PLD parameters. The property correlations and acquisition system that permitted the identification of the optimal growth conditions will be described.

ABSTRACTA hybrid Pulsed Laser Deposition system was developed to perform epitaxial growth of GaN on sapphire(0001). This system combines the laser ablation of a cooled Ga target with a well-characterized atomic nitrogen source. Taking advantage of the flexibility of this unique deposition system, high quality GaN thin films were deposited by optimizing both the laser intensity and the nitrogen flux. To date, our best GaN films show a FWHM of the GaN(0002) rocking curve peak equal to 480 arcsec. This result has been obtained at a laser intensity of I = 7×107 W/cm2, a substrate temperature of 800°C and under Ga-rich growth conditions.

Thin films of Ce0.8Gd0.2O2 and Ce0.8Sm0.2O2 oxide electrolytes have been fabricated by pulsed laser deposition on (100)LaAlO3 substrates at temperature from 300 °C to 700 °C and under 100 mTorr oxygen ambient pressure. The crystal structure, crystallinity and lattice parameters of the as-deposited films are investigated by X-ray diffraction. High quality epitaxial and polycrystalline films are obtained at different growth conditions. We have made impedance measurements on these films in the temperature range from 300 °C to 850 °C. Our results reveal a mark increase in the ionic conductivity of these films in comparison with those of the corresponding bulk materials. The observed enhancements are closely related to the crystallinity of the films. Conductivities of 0.1 S/cm or higher for Ce0.8Gd0.2O2 and Ce0.8Sm0.2O2 are obtained at 500 °C. We have demonstrated that in utilizing these thin films solid oxide fuel cells operating at below 500 °C are possible.
