AbstractThe influence of incorporating nanoparticulate additions into Ca3Co4O9 (CCO) thin films prepared by pulsed laser deposition using composite targets of CCO and CCO + 3wt% BaZrO3 (BZO) on Si and LaAlO3 substrates is investigated. X-ray data and high-resolution scanning electron microscopy reveal preferred c-axis orientation of the films deposited on Si substrates with the formation of nanoparticles between ∼ 10 – 50 nm. Preliminary thermoelectric behavior shows an enhancement of the power factor α2/ρ at room temperature. The microstructure and thermoelectric behavior of the CCO films are compared to the BZO-doped films.

AbstractSr(RuxSnl-x)O3 is proposed as a new conducting oxide for use in epitaxial multilayer structures. The Sr(Ru0.48Sn0.52)O3 composition exhibits an excellent lattice match with (100)-oriented KTaO3, and films of this composition grown by pulsed laser deposition on KTaO3, SrTiO3, and LaAIO3 substrates have been analyzed by X-ray diffraction, Rutherford backscattering/ion channeling, and resistivity measurements. Epitaxial KNbO3/Sr(Ru0 48Sn0.52)O3 bilayers have been successfully grown.

Amorphous Ti/C multilayers were prepared on titanium-alloy and silicon (100)-wafer substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Films with different Ti concentration were synthesized by changing the ablating time for Ti and C targets. The morphology and microstructure of Ti/C multilayers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Both of the Ti and C monolayers were amorphous. The metallic Ti stimulated the formation of more amorphous carbon phase by reducing the sp2 aromatic bonds and elongating the C-C chain bonds. The tribological properties of Ti/C multilayers were investigated by ball-on-disk tribometer. The pure C film and the multilayers containing more than 68.8 at.% of Ti showed low wear resistance. The multilayer contained 36.8 at.% of Ti exhibited the lowest wear rate at 3.54×10–16 m3/N·m. The formation of carbon related interlayer and its effect on tribological performance of the films were discussed.

Coating of hydroxyapatite using the pulsed laser deposition technique, on medical grade UNS S31254 stainless steel (254SS), to yield a biomaterial for potential orthopedic implant applications, is unreported so far in the literature. In this paper, the pulsed laser deposition process was used to improve the physiological response of 254SS. The surface morphology of the deposited hydroxyapatite coatings was characterized using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy, while the phase composition of the deposited hydroxyapatite coatings was determined using the X-ray diffraction method. The thickness and adhesive strength of the hydroxyapatite coatings were determined using an ellipsometer and a tensometer, respectively. The antibacterial efficacy of the deposited hydroxyapatite coatings was confirmed using the modern technique of fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Finally, the bioactivity of hydroxyapatite coatings was investigated by conducting immersion test in simulated body fluid environment. The scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy results revealed higher (∼8 nm) average surface roughness, which is likely to facilitate better osseointegration. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed that postdeposition annealing is essential to achieve the desired crystallinity and uniformity of coatings. Tensile pull-out tests confirmed adhesive strength of hydroxyapatite coatings beyond the standard expected values. Immersion tests inferred high bioactivity of pulsed laser deposition hydroxyapatite coatings. The promising results obtained in this research signify the potential application of hydroxyapatite coatings in orthopedic implants.

Substrate Temperatures

Amorphous carbon nitride films ( a-CN x) were deposited by pulsed laser deposition of camphoric carbon target with different substrate temperatures (ST). The influence of ST on the synthesis of a-CN x films was investigated. The nitrogen-to-carbon (N/C) and oxygen-to-carbon (O/C) atomic ratios, bonding state, and microstructure of the deposited a-CN x films were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and were confirmed by other standard measurement techniques. The bonding states between C and N , and C and O in the deposited films were found to be significantly influenced by ST during the deposition process. The N/C and O/C atomic ratios of the a-CN x films reached the maximum value at 400°C. ST of 400°C was proposed to promote the desired sp 3-hybridized C and the C 3 N 4 phase. The C–N bonding of C–N , C=N and C≡N were observed in the films.
