ABSTRACT0.6 µm-wide lines of high Tc Y-Ba-Cu-O have been fabricated by direct laser writing on mirror-like thin films which were grown by laser deposition without post annealing. Laser ablation etching had no effect on the Tc and Jc until the lines were < 1µm wide. The 0.6 µm-wide strip showed some degradation of Tc and Jc. The critical current densities for these patterned lines were measured to be ∼5×106 A/cm2 at 50 K.

A modified surface layer of hydroxyapatite (HA) target was observed before and after pulsed laser deposition. Two types of HA targets were used for laser ablation. We observed that the surface morphology of the target has a very fine compacted grain structure and presents many irregularities with some microroughness and microporosity before laser ablation. The laser ablated regions can be divided into two areas: one area is porous and rough but the other is dense and smooth. The percentage of particles in the films was high for the films produced with targets that were sintered at 1200°C.

AbstractPatterned mesoporous DAM-1 thin films were prepared on flexible transparent film utilizing the pulsed laser deposition and a line patterning technique. The patterned lines are transferred to the transparent film using a laser printer or copy machine. Laser ablation of DAM-1 onto the patterned substrate followed by a hydrothermal treatment resulted in a densely packed mesoporous film. Upon removal of the patterned lines (i.e. the underlying toner) by ultrasonic treatment in toluene, patterned DAM-1 films were produced.

ABSTRACTThin films of zeolites including silicalite-1, mordenite and UTD-18 have been prepared on stainless steel foil via pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Laser ablation of as-synthesized zeolite targets onto stainless steel foil followed by a post hydrothermal treatment results in partially oriented zeolite thin films. SEM, XRD were used to characterize the zeolite thin films. Preliminary results for multilayercoatings of different zeolites will also be presented.

ABSTRACTWe are reporting the successful deposition of single phase c-axis oriented ferroelectric thin films of PbTiO3 on Si (100) by pulsed laser deposition. It is shown that the formation of non ferroelectric Pb2Ti2O6 phase at the interface could be avoided by raising the substrate temperature sufficiently high. The film deposition conditions are optimized so as to achieve better ferroelectric properties.

Pulsed-laser ablation has been widely used to produce high-quality thin films of YBa2Cu3O7-δ on a range of substrate materials. The nonequilibrium nature of the process allows congruent deposition of oxides with complex stoichiometrics. In the high power density regime produced by the UV excimer lasers the ablated species includes a mixture of neutral atoms, molecules and ions. All these species play an important role in thin-film deposition. However, changes in the deposition parameters have been shown to affect the microstructure of thin YBa2Cu3O7-δ films. The formation of metastable configurations is possible because at the low substrate temperatures used, only shortrange rearrangement on the substrate surface can occur. The parameters associated directly with the laser ablation process, those determining the nature of the process, e g. thermal or nonthermal volatilization, have been classified as ‘primary parameters'. Other parameters may also affect the microstructure of the thin film. In this paper, the effects of these ‘secondary parameters' on the microstructure of YBa2Cu3O7-δ films will be discussed. Examples of 'secondary parameters' include the substrate temperature and the oxygen partial pressure during deposition.
