This article reports the use of plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) to grow AlN on Si (111) substrate at 850°C under UHV conditions for 15, 30, and 45 min. The films were characterized by high-resolution X-ray diffraction (HR-XRD) and micro-Raman spectroscopy. XRD measurement revealed that the AlN was epitaxially grown on Si (111). Micro-Raman result showed that all the allowed Raman modes of AlN and Si were clearly visible. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been used to investigate the A1 (LO) and E1 (TO) modes with frequencies (890–899) cm-1 and (668–688) cm-1, respectively. The results are in good agreement with reported phonon frequencies of AlN grown on Si (111).

The properties of the absorber layer of solar cell CuInSe2(CIS) thin film made by electro-depostied method were researched in this article. Different concentration of reactant and voltage was applied to prepare the CIS film. The micro-Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) of CIS film was carried out. A correlation between the linewidth A1 mode of Raman spectrum and the XRD line and the voltage of electro-deposition technology was found.

We report the systematic substitution of Nb at the Cu1 site of YBa2Cu3Oy in thin films to form a new phase of YBa2Cu2NbO8. These films were deposited on SrTiO3(100) crystals using pulsed laser deposition and deposited at an optimal temperature of 850 °C. Films were characterized using x-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), micro-Raman spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. XRD of these films indicate c-axis oriented YBa2Cu2NbOy formation. XPS and micro-Raman spectroscopy analysis suggests Cu exists in the +2 state.

AbstractThe use of conventional θ/2θ diffraction methods for the characterization of polycrystalline thin films is not in general a satisfactory technique due to the relatively deep penetration of x-ray photons in most materials. Glancing incidence diffraction (GID) can compensate for the penetration problems inherent in the θ/2θ geometry. Parallel beam geometry has been developed in conjunction with GID to eliminate the focusing aberrations encountered when performing these types of measurements. During the past yearwe developed a parallel beam attachment which we have successfully configured to a number of systems.

A unique combination of in situ synchrotron x-ray diffraction and in situ micro-Raman spectroscopy was used to study the growth process of YBa2Cu3O6+x films obtained by metal organic decomposition using trifluoroacetate precursor on LaAlO3 substrates. The techniques give complementary information: x-ray diffraction gives insight into the structural growth, whereas micro-Raman spectroscopy gives information of the chemical composition with additional information on the texture. To perform both experiments in situ, a special high-temperature process chamber was designed.

Aluminum (0.5 at.%)-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films were deposited by pulsed laser deposition technique (PLD) in oxygen ambient of 10[Formula: see text] Torr. The deposited thin films were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL), Raman spectroscopy and uv–visible spectroscopy (UV–vis). Next, graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized by Hummers method and was characterized by XRD, UV–vis spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Thereafter, GO solution was drop-casted on AZO thin films. These films were then characterized by Raman Spectroscopy, UV–vis spectroscopy and PL. Attempt is being made to comprehend the modifications in properties brought about by integration.

The microstructure of Fe2O3 sol-gel thin films, obtained from Fe(OCH2CH3)3, was investigated by x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Raman spectroscopy. Samples were nanocrystalline from 400 °C to 1000 °C, and the crystallized phase was haematite. In the coatings, the α–Fe2O3 clusters were dispersed as single particles in a network of amorphous ferric oxide.
