AbstractHighly conductive (> 103 Ω-1cm-1) and transparent (∼ 90%) In4Sn3O12 films have been deposited using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on glass substrates held at a temperature of 500°C under varying pressures of oxygen (2.5 mTorr ≤ PO2 ≤ 15 mTorr). The crystallinity and the roughness of the films were found to increase with the pressure of oxygen used during deposition. Electron concentrations of the order of 5×1020 cm-3 and mobilities as high as 30 cm2V-1s-1 were derived from the measurement of Hall coefficients. Both the electronic transport and optical properties of the films were found to be strongly sensitive to the pressure of oxygen used during deposition.

AbstractQuantum confined nanostructures of semiconductors such as Ge and Si are being actively studied due to their interesting optical and electronic transport properties. We fabricated Ge nanostructures buried in the matrix of polycrystalline-AIN grown on Si(111) by pulsed laser deposition at lower substrate temperatures than that used in previous studies. The characterization of these structures was performed using high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopy. HRTEM observations show that the Ge islands are single crystal with a pyramidal shape. The average size of Ge islands was determined to be 15 nm, considerably smaller than that produced by other techniques. The Raman spectrum reveals a peak downward shift, upto 295 cm−1, of the Ge-Ge mode caused by quantum confinement in the Ge-dots. Photoluminescence (PL) was observed both with a single layer of Ge nanodots embedded in the AlN matrix and from ten layers of dots interspersed with AIN. The PL of the dots was blue shifted by ˜0.266 eV from the bulk Ge value of 0.73 eV at 77 K, resulting in a distinct peak at ˜1.0 eV. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the peak was 13 meV, for the single layer and 8 meV for the ten layered sample, indicating that the Ge nanodots are fairly uniform in size, which was found to be consistent with our HRTEM results. The importance of pulsed laser deposition (PLD) in fabricating novel nanostructures is discussed.

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.
