High-quality Nd:LuVO 4 thin films have been grown on silica glass substrates by using a pulsed laser deposition technique. X-ray diffraction results show that the as-deposited Nd:LuVO 4 film is basically oriented polycrystalline, and strong (200) peak was revealed. The waveguide property was characterized by the prism-coupling method. The refractive index of the propagation mode is higher than that of the silica glass substrate which means that the dips correspond to real propagation mode, where the light could be well defined. The surface morphology of the deposited Nd:LuVO 4 films was also observed by using an atomic force microscopy.

The properties of thin Y2O3 films grown using an in situ ultraviolet (UV)-assisted pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique were studied. With respect to Y2O3 films grown by conventional PLD under similar conditions but without UV illumination, the UVPLD-grown films exhibited better structural and optical properties, especially for lower substrate temperatures, from 340 to 400 °C. These layers were highly crystalline and textured along the (111) direction, and their refractive index values were similar to those of reference Y2O3 layers. They also exhibited a better stoichiometry and contained less physisorbed oxygen than the conventional PLD-grown layers.

AbstractFerroelectrics are multicomponent materials with a wealth of interesting and useful properties, such as piezoelectricity. The dielectric constant of the BSTO ferroelectrics can be changed by applying an electric field. Variable dielectric constant results in a change in phase velocity in the device allowing it to be tuned in real time for a particular application. The microstructure of the film influences the electronic properties which in turn influences the performance of the film. Ba0.6Sr0.4Ti1-y(A 3+, B5+)yO3 thin films, of nominal thickness of 0.65 μm, were synthesized initially at substrate temperatures of 400°C, and subsequently annealed to 750°C, on LaAlO3 (100) substrates, previously coated with LaSrCoO conductive buffer layer, using the pulsed laser deposition technique. The microstructural and physical characteristics of the postannealed thin films have been studied using x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and nano indentation and are reported. Results of capacitance measurements are used to obtain dielectric constant and tunability in the paraelectric (T>Tc) regime.
