Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O (BPSCCO) and Bi-Pb-Sb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O (BPSSCCO) thin films were grown on MgO single crystal substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The deposition was carried out at room temperature during 90 minutes. A Nd:YAG excimer laser ( = 355 nm) with a 2 J/pulse energy density operated at 30 Hz was used. The distance between the target and substrate was kept constant at 4,5 cm. Nominal composition of the targets was Bi1,6Pb0,4Sr2Ca2Cu3O and Bi1,6Pb0,4Sb0,1Sr2Ca2Cu3OSuperconducting targets were prepared following a state solid reaction. As-grown films were annealed at different conditions. As-grown and annealed films were characterized by XRD, FTIR, and SEM. The films were prepared applying an experimental design. The relationship among deposition parameters and their effect on the formation of superconducting Bi-system crystalline phases was studied.

AbstractThe growth, structural and cathodoluminescent (CL) properties of europium activated yttrium oxide (Eu:Y2O3) thin films are reported. The Eu:Y2O3 films were grown in-situ using a pulsed laser deposition technique. Our results show that Eu:Y2O3 films can grow epitaxially on (100) LaAlO3 substrates under optimized deposition parameters. The epitaxial growth of Eu:Y2O3 films on LaAlO3, which has a lattice mismatch of ∼ 60 %, is explained by matching of the atom positions in the lattices of the film and the substrate after a rotation. CL data from these films are consistent with highly crystalline Eu:Y2O3 films with an intense CL emission at 611 nm.

ABSTRACTUsing pulsed laser deposition, Bi4Ti3O12 thin films were grown on (0001) and (1102) surfaces of Al2O3. Substrate temperature from 700 to 800 °C and oxygen pressure from 50 to 1000 mtorr were varied, and their effects on Bi4Ti3O12 film growth behavior was investigated. Only for a narrow range of deposition parameters, can highly oriented Bi4Ti3O12(104) films be grown on Al2O3(0001). Further, epitaxial BTO(004) films can be grown on Al2O3(1102). The growth behavior of preferential BTO film orientations can be explained in terms of atomic arrangements in the Bi4Ti3O12 and the Al2O3 planes.

AbstractThin films of diamond and diamond-like carbon (DLC) are technologically important materials that serve as hard, scratch resistant and chemically inert coatings for tools and optics. Recent calculations suggest that β-C3N4 should be harder than diamond. We have deposited carbon nitride (CNx) thin films by pulsed laser deposition. The films were grown from a graphite target in a nitrogen background. The nitrogen source was either (a) a N2 gas atmosphere, or (b) a N2+/N+ ion beam generated by a Kaufman ion gun. A wide range of deposition parameters were investigated, such as deposition pressure (0.3-900 mTorr N2), substrate temperature (50 and 600°C), and laser fluence (1-4 J/cm2) and laser repetition rate (1-10 Hz). The films have been characterized by Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy, thin-film X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and micro-Raman spectroscopy. In general, the films were nitrogen deficient with a maximum nitrogen to carbon ratio (N/C) of 0.45 and a shift in the G band Raman peak consistent with amorphous CNx (a-CNx).

ABSTRACTThin films of poly(tetrafluoroethylene) have been deposited on amorphous (7059 Corning Glass) and silicon(l00) substrates at various temperatures by the Pulsed Laser Deposition technique. The deposition was carried out at high vacuum (˜10-6 torr)at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 350°C. The mechanical properties of these films at the varying process temperatures have been evaluated by nano-indentation techniques and compositional properties of the films have been characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy. The deposition parameters have been optimized in order to produce good quality films.
