Using high-brilliance high-energy synchrotron X-ray radiation, for the first time the total scattering of a thin organic glass film deposited on a strongly scattering inorganic substrate has been measured in transmission mode. The organic thin film was composed of the weakly scattering pharmaceutical substance indomethacin in the amorphous state. The film was 130 µm thick atop a borosilicate glass substrate of equal thickness. The atomic pair distribution function derived from the thin-film measurement is in excellent agreement with that from bulk measurements. This ability to measure the total scattering of amorphous organic thin films in transmission will enable accuratein situstructural studies for a wide range of materials.

ABSTRACTThis paper describes the use of advanced circuitry nondestructive eddy current techniques to map compound semiconductors. Surface profiles, contour maps and diameter scans are obtained from the process wafers tested providing the necessary information to control the processes for maximum yield.We will report on how the statistics and data analysis using sophisticated computer routines to study the radial uniformity of the compound semiconductors can be used for optimum output. Additionally, a review is presented of the basic principles of measurement and the applicable test methods and standards.Important aspects that enable feedback to deposition and implant equipment enabling uniformity improvements are discussed. Specification improvements resulting from recent circuit and software additions and the measurement results are discussed.

AbstractInorganic erbium-doped glasses are widely used in telecommunications due to the sharp intra-atomic 4I13/2 → 4I15/2 transition in the 4f orbital of erbium resulting in an emission at ∼ 1.5 μm, which is the low loss window of silica optical fibres. The limited erbium concentration of about 1020 ions.cm−3 in inorganic erbium-doped glasses and the low absorption coefficient of the Er3+ ions, imply that relatively long lengths of fibre are required. The organic erbium complexes present higher absorption cross sections due to the photosensitization of erbium by organic conjugated ligands and broader emission bands than those of the free Er3+ ion. Such properties open the possibility to develop compact, low power and broadband infrared emitting devices. We present the study of a highly doped organic thin film obtained from organic erbium complexes deposited by a vacuum sublimation technique. This deposition method allows the realization of an erbium-doped thin film without the help of an organic polymer matrix, which is a potential source of vibrationnal luminescence quenching. The ligands used in the present study are fluorinated in order to limit the vibrationnal quenching of the ligand itself, and to increase the volatility of the complexes. In this paper, we report the synthesis, the sublimation process and the characterization of the thin films.

Thin films of poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) were prepared on pre-cleaned glass substrates by Dip Coating Method. FTIR spectrum was used to identify the functional groups present in the prepared films. The vibrational peaks observed at 1260 cm-1 and 851 cm-1 are assigned to C–C stretching and CH rocking of PVA.The characteristic band appearing at 1432 cm-1 is assigned to C–H bend of CH2 of PVA. The thickness of the prepared thin films were measured by using an electronic thickness measuring instrument (Tesatronic-TTD20) and cross checked by gravimetric method. XRD spectra indicated the amorphous nature of the films.Surface morphology of the coated films was studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The surface revealed no pits and pin holes on the surface. The observed surface morphology indicated that these films could be used as dielectric layer in organic thin film transistors and as drug delivery system for wound healing.

In this study, we have investigated new tailored organic semiconductors materials for the optoelectronic application, such as organic solar cells. The carbon-based organic semiconductor material has promising advantages in organic thin-film form. Moreover, due to its low cost, organic thin-films are suitable and cheaper than inorganic thin-film. The band gap of organic semiconductors materials can be tuned and mostly lies between 2.0eV to 4eV and the optical absorption edge of organic semiconductors typically lies in between 1.7eV to 3eV. They can be easily tailored by modifying the carbon chain and legends and looks promising for engineering the band gap to harness solar spectrum. In this work, with new tailored organic semiconductors the solution route is explored which is low cost processing method. (Anthracen-9-yl) methylene naphthalene-1-amine, 4-(anthracen-9-ylmethyleneamino)-1,5dimethyl-2-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-one and N-(anthracen-9-ylmethyl)-3,4-dimethoxyaniline thin-films are processed by spin coating method with changing concentration such as 0.05 wt% and 0.08 wt%. Thin films of Organic semiconductors were prepared on glass substrate and annealed at 55°C. The structural and optical behaviour of (Anthracen-9-yl) methylene naphthalene-1-amine, 4-(anthracen-9-ylmethyleneamino)-1,5dimethyl-2-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-one and N-(anthracen-9-ylmethyl)-3,4-dimethoxyaniline organic semiconductors thin films is studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-Visible Spectroscopy technique. The XRD data of synthesized sample suggests the Nano crystallinity of the Organic layers. The SEM micrographs shows the dense packing when we increase the wt% 0.05 to 0.08. Analysis of the optical absorption measurements found that the engineered band gap of synthesized thin films are 2.18eV, 2.35eV, 2.36eV, 2.52eV and 2.65eV which suggest suitability for applications of Optoelectronic devices such as solar cell. Such light weight, eco-friendly and disposable new carbon based materials seems to have potential to replace other traditional hazardous heavy materials for future eco-friendly flat fast electronics.

AbstractWe have investigated the growth mechanism and thin film morphology of pentacene thin films by the process of low-pressure gas assisted organic vapor deposition (LP-GAOVD). As the source temperature, flow rate of the carrier gas, substrate temperature and chamber pressure were varied, the growth rate, morphology and grain size of the films were differently obtained. The electrical properties of pentacene thin films for applications in organic thin film transistor and electrophoretic displays were discussed
