AbstractEpitaxial thin films of PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3 (PZT) have been synthesized successfully on SrRuO3/SrTiO3/MgO/TiN/Si heterostructures by pulsed laser deposition. The films were single phase and had (001) orientation. The deposition parameters were varied to obtain the best epitaxial layer for each of the compounds. Transmission electron microscopy indicated good epitaxy for the entire heterostructure and sharp interfaces between the epilayers. Dielectric and P-E hysteresis loop measurements were carried out with evaporated Ag electrodes. The dielectric constant for the films was found to be between 400-450. The value of saturation polarization Ps, was between 55-60 νC/cm2 and the coercive field Ec varied from 60-70 kV/cm. Integration of PZT films with silicon will be useful for future memory and micromechanical devices.

AbstractWe have been successful in the fabrication of (001) oriented epitaxial PZT films on YBCO/SrTiO3/MgO/TiN/Si heterostructures by pulsed laser deposition. The films were observed to be single phase by X-ray diffraction. The deposition parameters were varied to obtain the best epitaxial layer for each of the compounds. Transmission electron microscopy was employed for understanding of the structure, crystallinity and interfaces for each of these epilayers. Dielectric and P-E hysteresis loop measurements were carried out with evaporated Ag electrodes. The dielectric constant for the films was found to be around 380–400. The value of saturation polarization Ps was between 40–50 μC/cm2 and the coercive field Ec varied from 45–55 kV/cm. Integration of PZT films with silicon will be useful for future memory and micromechanical devices.

Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is a unique method for growing highly stoichiometric, materials in the form of epitaxial thin films. Here we discuss the optimization of deposition parameters for laser ablation of multi-component La 0.7 Ca 0.3 MnO 3- YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-δ (LCMO-YBCO) heterostructures grown in situ by sequential deposition of LCMO and YBCO on <100> LaAlO 3 (LAO) substrates using a PLD system. We discuss the growth of these multi-layers, from the device applications point of view.

Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O (BPSCCO) and Bi-Pb-Sb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O (BPSSCCO) thin films were grown on MgO single crystal substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The deposition was carried out at room temperature during 90 minutes. A Nd:YAG excimer laser ( = 355 nm) with a 2 J/pulse energy density operated at 30 Hz was used. The distance between the target and substrate was kept constant at 4,5 cm. Nominal composition of the targets was Bi1,6Pb0,4Sr2Ca2Cu3O and Bi1,6Pb0,4Sb0,1Sr2Ca2Cu3OSuperconducting targets were prepared following a state solid reaction. As-grown films were annealed at different conditions. As-grown and annealed films were characterized by XRD, FTIR, and SEM. The films were prepared applying an experimental design. The relationship among deposition parameters and their effect on the formation of superconducting Bi-system crystalline phases was studied.

ABSTRACTAIN thin films have been grown epitaxially on Si(111) and Al2O3(0001) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. These films were characterized by FTIR and UV-Visible, x-ray diffraction, high resolution transmission electron and scanning electron microscopy, and electrical resistivity. The films deposited on silicon and sapphire at 750-800°C and laser energy density of ∼ 2 to 3J/cm2 are epitaxial with an orientational relationship of AIN[0001]║ Si[111], AIN[2 110]║Si[011] and AlN[0001]║Al2O3[0001], AIN[1 2 1 0]║ Al2O3[0110] and AIN[1010] ║ Al2O3[2110]. The both AIN/Si and AIN/Al2O3 interfaces were found to be quite sharp without any indication of interfacial reactions. The absorption edge measured by UV-Visible spectroscopy for the epitaxial AIN film grown on sapphire was sharp and the band gap was found to be 6.1eV. The electrical resistivity of the films was about 5-6×l013Ω-cm with a breakdown field of 5×106V/cm. We also found that the films deposited at higher laser energy densities ≥10J/cm2 and lower temperatures ≤650°C were nitrogen deficient and containing free metallic aluminum which degrade the microstructural, electrical and optical properties of the AIN films

AbstractThe growth, structural and cathodoluminescent (CL) properties of europium activated yttrium oxide (Eu:Y2O3) thin films are reported. The Eu:Y2O3 films were grown in-situ using a pulsed laser deposition technique. Our results show that Eu:Y2O3 films can grow epitaxially on (100) LaAlO3 substrates under optimized deposition parameters. The epitaxial growth of Eu:Y2O3 films on LaAlO3, which has a lattice mismatch of ∼ 60 %, is explained by matching of the atom positions in the lattices of the film and the substrate after a rotation. CL data from these films are consistent with highly crystalline Eu:Y2O3 films with an intense CL emission at 611 nm.
