ABSTRACTNife alloys are potential candidates for the development of planar fluxgate magnetic microsensors. In this work, electrodeposition was used to produce NiFe thin films on top of copper substrates. When using this technique the variation of the electric potential, and thus the current density, alters the final stoichiometry of the deposited films, while the final thickness is determined by the total deposition time. We used current densities varying from 4.0 mA/cm2 to 28 mA/cm2, with steps of 4.0 mA/cm2. For each current density, total deposition times of 10, 20, 30 and 40 minutes were used. The morphology was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, structure was characterized using X-ray diffraction experiments, and the composition of the films were determined using energy dispersive spectroscopy. The magnetic properties were investigated evaluating the materials hysteresis cycle. The materials were optimized aiming for lowest coercivity values, and the final result was about 0.215 kA/m.

The YBa2Cu3O7-x thin films formed by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD) have been reported to have excellent superconducting properties including a sharp zero resistance transition temperature (Tc) of 89 K and a high critical current density of 2.3x106 A/cm2 or higher. The origin of the high critical current in the thin film compared to bulk materials is attributed to its structural properties such as orientation, grain boundaries and defects on the scale of the coherent length. In this report, we present microstructural aspects of the thin films deposited on the (100) LaAlO3 substrate, which process the highest critical current density.Details of the thin film growth process have been reported elsewhere. The thin films were examined in both planar and cross-section view by electron microscopy. TEM sample preparation was carried out using conventional grinding, dimpling and ion milling techniques. Special care was taken to avoid exposure of the thin films to water during the preparation processes.

: Thin films of PbS were prepared onto glass substrates by using a simple and cost effective CBD method. Influence of deposition time on structural, morphology and optical properties have been investigated systematically. The XRD analysis revealed that PbS films are polycrystalline with preferred orientation in (200) direction. Enhancement in crystallinity and PbS crystallite size has been observed with increase in deposition time. Formation of single phase PbS thin films has been further confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. The surface morphology analysis revealed the formation of prismatic and pebble-like PbS particles and with increase in deposition time these PbS particles are separated from each other without secondary growth. The data obtained from the EDX spectra shows the formation of high-quality but slightly sulfur rich PbS thin films over the entire range of deposition time studied. All films show increase in absorption with increase in deposition time and a strong absorption in the visible and sub-band gap regime of NIR range of the spectrum with red shift in band edge. The optical band gap shows decreasing trend, as deposition time increases but it is higher than the band gap of bulk PbS.

The present work deals with NiO/Si3N4 layers formed by depositing nickel oxide (NiO) thin films over silicon nitrate (Si3N[Formula: see text] thin films. NiO films were coated on Si3N4-coated Si substrate using magnetron sputtering method by changing duration of coating time and were analyzed using X-ray diffractometer, field emission-scanning electron microscopy, UV–Vis spectrophotometer and four-point probe method to study the influence of thickness on physical properties. Crystallinity of the deposited films increases with increase in thickness. All films exhibited spherical-like structure, and with increase in deposition time, grains are coalesced to form smooth surface morphology. The optical bandgap of NiO films was found to decrease from 3.31[Formula: see text]eV to 3.22[Formula: see text]eV with upsurge in the thickness. The film deposited for 30[Formula: see text]min exhibits temperature coefficient resistance of [Formula: see text]1.77%/[Formula: see text]C as measured at 80[Formula: see text]C.

AbstractEpitaxial thin films of YBaCuO were prepared by multilayer deposition from Y, Cu, and BaF2 sources with: (1) the a‐axis perpendicular to (100)SrTiO3; (2) the c‐axis perpendicular to (100)SrTiO3; and (3) the [110] axis perpendicular to (110)SrTiO3. XRD patterns as well as SEM and HREM images confirm that the films are highly oriented, essentially epitaxial. Both the a‐axis oriented and the c‐axis oriented films exhibit zero resistance at 91K. The [110] oriented film shows the sharpest transiton with a transition width of IK and zero resistance at 85K. The zero field critical current density, Jc, determined magnetically, is in excess of 107A/cm2 at 4.4K and 1.04 x 106A/cm2 at 77K for the c‐axis oriented film; for the a‐axis oriented film we obtained 6.7 x 106A/cm2 at 4.4K and 1.2 x 105A/cm2 at 77K. The orientation dependence of the critical current density in the basal plane of the a‐axis oriented film was studied. The largest Jc's occur along the in‐plane <100> axes of the substrate.
