Benzylamine tartrate (m.p. 63°C) seems to be a better and more convenient substrate for making carbon films than any of those previously proposed. Using it in the manner described, it is easy consistently to make batches of specimen grids as open as 200 mesh with no broken squares, and without individual handling of the grids. Benzylamine tartrate (hereafter called B.T.) is a viscous liquid when molten, which sets to a glass. Unlike polymeric substrates it does not swell before dissolving; such swelling of the substrate seems to be a principal cause of breakage of carbon film. Mass spectroscopic examination indicates a vapor pressure less than 10−9 Torr at room temperature.

Boundary Reaction

Thin-film reactions in ceramic systems are of increasing importance as materials such as oxide superconductors and ferroelectrics are applied in thin-film form. In fact, reactions have been found to occur during the growth of YBa2Cu3O6+x on ZrO2. Additionally, thin-film reactions have also been intentionally initiated for the production of buffer layers for the subsequent growth of high-Tc superconductor thin films. The problem is that the kinetics of ceramic thin-film reactions are not well understood when the reaction layer is very thin; that is, when the rate-limiting step is a phase-boundary reaction as opposed to diffusion of the reactants through the product layer. In this case, the reaction layer is likely to be laterally non-uniform. In the present study, the measurement of thin reaction-product layers is accomplished by first digitally acquiring backscattered-electron images in a high-resolution field-emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) followed by image analysis. Furthermore, the problem of measuring such small thicknesses (e.g., 20-500nm) over lengths of interfaces longer than 3mm is addressed.

Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is currently used in a variety of applications including oxygen sensors, fuel cells, coatings for semiconductor lasers, and buffer layers for high-temperature superconducting films. Thin films of YSZ have been grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition, electrochemical vapor deposition, pulse-laser deposition (PLD), electron-beam evaporation, and sputtering. In this investigation, PLD was used to grow thin films of YSZ on (100) MgO substrates. This system proves to be an interesting example of relationships between interfaces and extrinsic dislocations in thin films of YSZ.In this experiment, a freshly cleaved (100) MgO substrate surface was prepared for deposition by cleaving a lmm-thick slice from a single-crystal MgO cube. The YSZ target material which contained 10mol% yttria was prepared from powders and sintered to 85% of theoretical density. The laser system used for the depositions was a Lambda Physik 210i excimer laser operating with KrF (λ=248nm, 1Hz repetition rate, average energy per pulse of 100mJ).

Cold Rolling And Annealing

Deposition of highly textured ReBa2Cu3O7−δ (RBCO) films on metallic substrates requires a buffer layer to prevent chemical reactions, reduce lattice mismatch between metallic substrate and superconducting film layer, and to prevent diffusion of metal atoms into the superconductor film. Nickel tapes are bi-axially textured by cold rolling and annealing at appropriate temperature (RABiTS) for epitaxial growth of YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) films. As buffer layers, several oxide thin films and then YBCO were coated on bi-axially textured nickel tapes by dip coating sol-gel process. Biaxially oriented NiO on the cube-textured nickel tape by a process named Surface-Oxidation- Epitaxy (SEO) has been introduced as an alternative buffer layer. in this work we have studied in situ growth of nickel oxide by ESEM and hot stage.Representative cold rolled nickel tape (99.999%) was annealed in an electric furnace under 4% hydrogen-96% argon gas mixture at 1050°C to get bi-axially textured nickel tape.
