研究目的
Developing a pulsed laser deposition system with rapid beam deflection for efficient alternating ablation of multiple targets to synthesize thin films with controlled compositions and properties.
研究成果
The RBD-PLD system significantly reduces the deposition time and improves the control over film composition and properties compared to conventional PLD systems. It enables efficient fabrication of binary alloy films, composition spread libraries, and compositionally graded thin films with minimal re-evaporation of volatile species.
研究不足
The system's effectiveness is limited by the laser's maximum pulse rate and the galvanometer mirror's scan time. The composition spread is limited by the small sample size and the need for precise control of the ablation spot position.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The RBD-PLD system uses a galvanometer mirror scanner to deflect the laser beam rapidly between fixed targets, eliminating the need for mechanical target switching.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Various target materials including Si, Ni, ZnO, Mg0.1Zn0.9O, Bi1.1FeO3, SmFeO3, BaTiO3, and Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3 were used to demonstrate the system's capabilities.
3:1Zn9O, Bi1FeO3, SmFeO3, BaTiO3, and Ba7Sr3TiO3 were used to demonstrate the system's capabilities.
List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: A KrF excimer laser (LPX220i, Coherent, Inc.), galvanometer mirror scanner (M3S, Cambridge Technology), and analog servo driver (MiniSAXS, Cambridge Technology) were employed.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The laser beam was focused on target surfaces, and the mirror angle was adjusted to alternate ablation between targets. The process was synchronized with the laser trigger signal.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Film thickness and composition were analyzed using profilometry, X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), wavelength dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (WDS), and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS).
