Thin films nanoparticles TbxY3-xFe5O12 (x=0.0, 1.0, 2.0) were prepared by the sol-gel process followed by annealing process at various annealing temperatures of 700° C, 800° C and 900° C in air for 2 h. The results obtained from X-ray diffractometer (XRD) show that the films annealed below 900°C exhibit peaks of garnet mixed with small amounts of YFeO3 and Fe2O3. Pure garnet phase has been detected in the films annealed at 900°C. Before annealing the films show amorphous structures. The particles sizes measurement using the field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) showed that the particles sizes increased as the annealing temperature increased. The magnetic properties were measured at room temperature using the vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The saturation magnetization (Ms) of the films also increased with the annealing temperature. However, different behavior of coercivity (Hc) has been observed as the annealing temperature was increased.

AbstractIn the present work we have optimized the process parameters to yield homogeneous, smooth ruthenium oxide (RuO2) thin films on silicon substrates by a solution deposition technique using RuCl3.×.H2O as the precursor material. Films were annealed in a temperature range of 300°C to 700°C, and it was found that RuO2 crystallizes at a temperature as low as 400°C. The crystallinity of the films improves with increased annealing temperature and the resistivity decreases from 4.86µΩ-m (films annealed at 400°C) to 2.94pµΩ (films annealed at 700°C). Ageing of the precursor solution has a pronounced effect on the measured resistivities of RuO2 thin films. It was found that the measured room temperature resistivities increases from 2.94µΩ-m to 45.7µΩ-m when the precursor sol is aged for aged 60 days. AFM analysis on the aged films shows that the grain size and the surface roughness of the annealed films increase with the ageing of the precursor solution. From XPS analysis we have detected the presence of non-transformed RuCl3 in case of films prepared from aged solution. We propose, that solution ageing inhibits the transformation of RuCl3 to RuO2 during the annealing of the films. The deterioration of the conductivity with solution ageing is thought to be related with the chloride contamination in the annealed films.

ABSTRACTWe have investigated electrical and optical properties of the lead strontium titanate {(PbxSr1-x)TiO3 or PST} ceramic and dielectric properties of the thin films of PST at low and high frequencies. (PbxSr1-x)TiO3 compositions with × ≤ 0.4 are paraelectric at room temperature and exhibit ferroelectric phase transition below room temperature. Only one phase transition in the PST system (compared to three in BaxSr1-xTiO3) was recorded. The studies indicated that PST has potential for tunable microwave devices in the paraelectric phase. In the present studies, Pb0.3Sr0.7TiO3 (PST30) ceramic was prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method and thin films of PST were prepared by sol-gel technique. Structural, microstructural, dielectric, and Raman measurements were performed on these samples. Sharp phase transition was observed in case of the ceramic by dielectric and Raman measurements at 283 K. Raman measurements revealed well-pronounced soft-mode behavior below the Curie temperature in PST ceramic. The thin film of PST deposited on lanthanum aluminate substrate was highly (100) oriented and showed dielectric maxima at ∼280 K, which was close to that in case of the bulk. Eight element coupled micro-strip phase shifters (CMPS) was fabricated on the PST film and tested in the frequency range of 15-17 GHz. The average figure of merit of 49 °/dB for PST30 film in the Ku band at 533 kV/cm suggests the potentiality of these films for high frequency tunable dielectric devices.

AbstractThin films of PZT were deposited onto platinized and bare single crystal NaCl using spin coating and sol-gel precursors. These films were then analyzed using in situ heating in a transmission electron microscope. The results of in situ heating are compared with those of an ex situ heat treatment in a standard furnace, mimicking the heat treatment given to entire wafers of these materials for use in MEMS and ferroelectric applications. Films are shown to transform from amorphous to nanocrystalline over the course of days when held at room temperature. While chemical variations are found between films crystallized in ambient conditions and films crystallized in the vacuum conditions of the microscope, the resulting crystal structures appear to be insensitive to these differences. Significant changes in crystal structure are found at 500°C, primarily the change from largely amorphous to the beginnings of clearly crystalline films. Crystallization does occur over the course of weeks at room temperature in these films. Structural changes are more modest in these films when heated in the TEM then those observed on actual wafers. The presence of Pt significantly influences both the resulting structure and morphology in both in situ and ex situ heated films. Without Pt present, the films appear to form small, 10 nm grains consisting of both cubic and tetragonal phases, whereas in the case of the Pt larger, 100 nm grains of a tetragonal phase are formed.
