AbstractThe paper presents results of the investigation on the influence of deposition parameters, such as substrate temperature, total gas pressure and reactive gas composition on the structure, chemical composition and mechanical properties of aluminum oxynitride coatings obtained by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method. Selection of process parameter ranges, which could be promising for aluminum oxynitride (ALON) coatings deposition, was the main objective of the work. Two series of experiments were carried out with varied pressure and temperature. It was found that from the chemical composition viewpoint, the most promising are atmospheres containing 20 % to 40 % oxygen. The nitrogen to oxygen ratios in the coatings can be controlled by increasing the total pressure or substrate temperature. However, increasing the pressure has a negative effect on the O + N:Al ratio, mechanical properties and quality of the coatings. The influence of temperature is much less drastic and more controllable. Increasing the deposition temperature is much more beneficial since it improves the mechanical properties and can compensate to some extent the negative effect of the total pressure. From the coating quality viewpoint, it is possible to establish an optimum temperature range for which the coatings are characterized by a compact structure and a limited number of droplets.

Bi2Te3 thermoelectric thin films were deposited on the flexible polyimide substrates by RF magnetron co-sputtering of a Bi and a Te targets. The influence of the substrate temperature and RF power on the microstructure, chemical composition, and the thermoelectric properties of the sputtered films was investigated by using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and in-plane resistivity/Seebeck coefficient measurement. It was shown that the thermoelectric properties of the films depend sensitively on the Bi/Te chemical composition ratio and the substrate temperature, and the layered structure was clearly observed from the cross section of the (00L)-oriented, nearly stoichiometric Bi2Te3 films when the substrate temperature is higher than 250 °C. As-deposited Bi2Te3 films deposited at 300 °C show the highest power factor of 0.97 mW/K2m and the Seebeck coefficient of −193 μV/K at 32 °C, which also have (00L) preferred orientation and the layered structure. The durability of the Bi2Te3 films on polyimide against repeated bending was also tested by monitoring the film resistance, and it was concluded that the Bi2Te3 films are applicable reliably on the curved surfaces with the radius of curvature larger than 5 mm.

AbstractPLZT thin films from a stoichiometric (9/65/35) commercial target were laser deposited using the second and third harmonics of a nanosecond Nd:YAG laser. The films were grown on oriented sapphire substrates and analysed by X-ray diffraction, SEM and EDX techniques. The influence of the deposition parameters laser fluence and substrate temperature on the physical characteristics of the films is presented.

Amorphous InAs films are deposited on substrates of quartz glass by RF magnetron sputtering technique in different gas ambient. We present a systematic study of the affects of the sputtering parameters on the chemical composition. Amorphous InAs (a-InAs) films have been achieved at higher working pressure when the substrate temperature and RF power are increased respectively. The films composition is controlled by transport phenomena of sputtered atoms from the target to the substrate and by substrate surface dynamics. We study how to improve the sputtering parameters in order to obtain stoichiometric a-InAs films.

In order to reveal the influence of oxidization on the properties of AlF3 films, single layers of AlF3 were deposited at different substrate temperature by thermo evaporation technique with or without oxygen injected into the coating chamber. The chemical composition, total stress, optical properties and laser damage resistance of samples were characterized. Comparative study indicates the AlF3 films prepared under higher oxygen pressure have more oxides which result from hydration process in atmosphere. The presence of oxides also reduces total stress and optical absorption of the fluoride coatings.

<span><p><span lang="DE">The present paper explores the impact of laser cladding parameters on the corrosion behavior of the resulting surface. Powders of Inconel 625 and austenitic Metco <st1:metricconverter w:st="on" productid="41C">41C</st1:metricconverter> steel were deposited on steel substrate. It was confirmed that the level of dilution has profound impact on the corrosion resistance and that dilution has to be minimized. However, the chemical composition of the cladding is altered even in the course of the cladding process, a fact which is related to the increase in the substrate temperature. The cladding process was optimized to achieve maximum corrosion resistance. The results were verified and validated using microscopic observation, chemical analysis and corrosion testing. </span></p>

The difference between average densities of the Moon and Earth was interpreted in the preceding report by Professor H. Urey as indicating a difference in their chemical composition. Therefore, Urey assumes the Moon's formation to have taken place far away from the Earth, under conditions differing substantially from the conditions of Earth's formation. In such a case, the Earth should have captured the Moon. As is admitted by Professor Urey himself, such a capture is a very improbable event. In addition, an assumption that the “lunar” dimensions were representative of protoplanetary bodies in the entire solar system encounters great difficulties.
