Effect of annealing on the physical properties of thermally evaporated In2S3 thin films
摘要: The structural, compositional, morphological and optical properties of In2S3 thin films, prepared by thermal evaporation technique and annealed in sulfur ambient at different temperatures have been investigated. The grazing incident X-ray diffraction patterns have indicated polycrystalline form and predominantly cubic structure of annealed In2S3 films. The scanning electron microscopy revealed textured surface with uniformly distributed grains and the grain size increased with increase of annealing temperature. The optical parameters of the films have been determined using conventional transmission and reflection spectra as well as from surface photovoltage measurements.

Performance study of surface plasmon resonance and lossy mode resonance based fiber optic sensors utilizing silver and indium oxide layers: An experimental investigation
摘要: This study presents here the experimental investigations on a surface plasmon resonance (SPR)/lossy mode resonance (LMR) based fiber optic sensors coated with silver and indium oxide layers. Different sensing probes have been fabricated by coating (i) a single layer of indium oxide, (ii) a single layer of silver and (iii) a double layer of indium oxide and silver (with different thicknesses) symmetrically onto to the bare core of silica fiber. The sensitivity of these fiber optic sensing probes towards surrounding region refractive index variations are determined using different concentrations of sucrose solutions. It was found that sensor probe fabricated with coating of 100 nm thickness of indium oxide was two times more sensitive than the conventionally used fiber optic sensing probe coated with only silver layer. The sensitivity of a double layer coated fiber optic sensor with various thicknesses of indium oxide and silver layers is in between the two extremes of the sensitivities. This study will find suitable applications in the field of chemical and biochemical sensing. The drawbacks of silver coatings and the advantages of LMR supporting indium oxide have also been discussed.

Effect of Magnesium Substitution on the Structural, Morphological, Optical and Wettability properties of Cobalt Ferrite Thin Films
摘要: Cobalt ferrite thin films with magnesium substitution (Co1-xMgxFe2O4 for 0.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) were grown on clean glass substrate with dimensions (75 mm × 25 mm × 1.45 mm) using spray pyrolysis method. The grown thin films were annealed at 500°C for 4 h and further used for structural, morphological, optical and surface wettability investigations. The structural characterizations of the prepared films were performed through X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique at room temperature. The analysis of the XRD pattern shows the formation of single phase cubic spinel structure of the films. The most intense peak (311) of the XRD pattern was used to estimate the average crystallite size. The obtained crystallite size varies between 16 nm to 19 nm confirming the nanocrystalline nature of the films. The lattice constant calculated from XRD data show decreasing nature from 8.386 ? to 8.365 ? with increase in magnesium content x. The variation of X-ray density with magnesium content x shows initial increasing nature and then decreasing nature. Metal cation active vibration modes, metal oxygen stretching and bending vibrations were confirmed through the Raman analysis. Surface morphology of the films was studied by using scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM) technique. Observations of SEM micrographs reveal that particles are in nanosize dimensions and almost distributed uniformly. Particle size calculated from TEM analysis was found to be in the range of 5-18 nm. The band gap of the films was measured by UV-VIS spectrophotometer. It is observed that, the energy band gap decrease from 2.83 eV to 2.37 eV as increase in magnesium substitution. The Photoluminescence study showed the characteristic near-band-edge emission of presently investigated films samples at around 710 nm. The contact angle measurements revealed the hydrophilic nature of all the thin films under investigation.

Photoluminescence of silicon vacancy centres as conceptual indicator for the condition of diamond protection coatings
摘要: Due to the outstanding properties polycrystalline diamond coatings are used for wear protection on tools and work pieces. Thereby adhesive and abrasive wear as well as spalling of the coating can lead to damage and downtimes of the working machines. By depositing silicon doped multilayer diamond coatings, an indication of the condition of the coatings could be achieved. In this study the behaviour and transmission of the zero-phonon line of silicon vacancy centres is investigated in doped multilayer diamond coatings. The in-situ silicon doped diamond coatings were synthesized in use of an atmospheric laser-based plasma chemical vapour deposition. Photoluminescence measurements were performed with an excitation area of 18 mm2 and a wavelength of 248 nm. While the photoluminescence of the doped layers conceptually proves suitability as an indicator for the condition of the coating, the undoped diamond layers in the coatings show a high transmissivity to the zero-phonon line for the used parameters.

Ferroelectric β-crystalline phase formation and property enhancement in polydopamine modified BaTiO3/poly (vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) nanocomposite films
摘要: Piezopolymer poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) (PVDF-TrFE) films doped with BaTiO3 (BT) and polydopamine coated BT (BT-Pdop) nanoparticles were prepared by spin-coating method. Polydopamine modifies the interfaces of inorganic BT nanoparticles and PVDF-TrFE matrix with its polar hydroxyl groups, enhancing the piezoelectric β-phase. BT-Pdop nanoparticles were obtained in pH 8.5 buffer solution. For ferroelectric PVDF-TrFE, the favorable piezoelectric property comes from its ferroelectricity. Therefore, we studied the ferroelectric property of the nanocomposite films. The nanocomposite thin films possess better ferroelectric property than the pure PVDF-TrFE thin films, as demonstrated by the ferroelectric hysteresis curves. The remanent polarizations are 13.59 and 13.94 μC/cm2 after the doping of 1.0 wt% BT and 1.0 wt% BT-Pdop, respectively, which are about twice that of neat PVDF-TrFE. The piezoelectric β-ferroelectric phase increases with doping, according to X-Ray Diffraction analysis. In addition, the images of polarized optical microscopy and atomic force microscopy also reveal significant enhancement in crystallinity. The neat PVDF-TrFE is a semicrystalline polymer and the size of crystalline spherulites increases with the addition of BT and BT-Pdop nanoparticles. However, even the crystallinity of PVDF-TrFE considerably improved with polydopamine interfacial modification of BT, the increase of remanent polarization due to Pdop is only marginal. We infer that there are other defects at interfaces of BT-Pdop doped PVDF-TrFE nanocomposites which counteract the beneficial effect of the polar OH of polydopamine. Considerable enhancement on ferroelectric property of BT-Pdop doped PVDF-TrFE nanocomposites is expected after these issues are addressed.

Atomic layer deposition of titanium nitride for quantum circuits
摘要: Superconducting thin films with high intrinsic kinetic inductance are of great importance for photon detectors, achieving strong coupling in hybrid systems, and protected qubits. We report on the performance of titanium nitride resonators, patterned on thin films (9–110 nm) grown by atomic layer deposition, with sheet inductances of up to 234 pH/(cid:2). For films thicker than 14 nm, quality factors measured in the quantum regime range from 0.2 to 1.0 (cid:2) 106 and are likely limited by dielectric two-level systems. Additionally, we show characteristic impedances up to 28 kX, with no significant degradation of the internal quality factor as the impedance increases. These high impedances correspond to an increased single photon coupling strength of 24 times compared to a 50 X resonator, transformative for hybrid quantum systems and quantum sensing.

seed layers
摘要: We characterize asymmetric growth of magnetic bubble domains in perpendicularly magnetized Co/Ni multilayers grown on PtxIr1?x seed layers by application of perpendicular and in-plane magnetic fields. Using a refined model of domain wall creep that incorporates contributions from the anisotropic elastic energy, ε, and a chirality-dependent prefactor, v0, we elucidate factors that govern the mobility of Dzyaloshinskii domain walls as a function of seed-layer composition. The interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) magnitude is found to decrease monotonically with xIr, which is independently confirmed by Brillouin light scattering. Moreover, the persistence of significant asymmetry in velocity curves across the full composition range supports previous assertions that a chirality-dependent attempt frequency akin to chiral damping could play a critical role in the observed trends. This work helps resolve fundamental questions about the factors governing Dzyaloshinskii domain-wall creep and demonstrates varying Pt-Ir seed-layer composition as a method to tune DMI.

ELECTRODELESS MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUE OF COMPLEX DIELECTRIC PERMITTIVITY OF HIGH-K DIELECTRIC FILMS IN THE MILLIMETER WAVELENGTH RANGE
摘要: An electrodeless measurement technique of complex dielectric permittivity of high-K dielectric ?lms is described. The technique is based on a quasi-optic Fabry-Perot resonator and modi?ed for investigation of two-layer dielectric structures — substrate/K-?lm. This procedure is destined to be used for providing a simple intermediate control of parameters of high-K ?lms before the following technological process. Regimes of measurements providing the most sensitive conditions for de?nition of ?lm parameters are considered. The proposed method is tested on two-layer structures with well-known parameters and is used for characterization of ferroelectric (Ba,Sr)TiO3 ?lms in the millimeter wavelength range (~ 50 GHz).

Thin Film Processes - Artifacts on Surface Phenomena and Technological Facets || Modified Spin Coating Method for Coating and Fabricating Ferroelectric Thin Films as Sensors and Solar Cells
摘要: Spin coating process with a modified spin coater is performed well, especially the second generation of modified spin coater, which has a maximum value of 18,000 rpm, is able for manufacturing/coating photonic crystal‐based ferroelectric thin films that require a high angular velocity (rpm). Ferroelectric thin films that use both 3000 and 6000 rpm have given good results in energy gap, electrical conductivity, etc. In addition, the modified spin coater has also produced several applications such as sensors in the device of blood sugar level noninvasively, sensors in the automatic drying system, sensors in the robotic system, and photovoltaic cells in the system of solar cells/panels which are being developed at present. These applications used ferroelectric material such as barium strontium titanate (BST), lithium niobate (LiNbO3), cuprous oxide (CuO), and lithium tantalate (LiTaO3).

Effect of thermal oxidation temperatures on the phase evolution and photocatalytic property of tungsten-doped TiO <sub/>2</sub> thin film
摘要: Tungsten-doped titanium dioxide (W-TiO2) thin films were successfully prepared on glass substrates by sputtering thermally oxidized W-doped titanium films in air. Tungsten-doped titanium films were deposited using a DC and RF magnetron cosputtering system. The effects of annealing treatment and W content on the W-TiO2 film microstructure were investigated. The crystalline structures, morphological features, and photocatalytic activity of the annealed W-TiO2 films were systematically studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and ultraviolet spectrophotometry. The results indicated that annealing at 550 °C clearly induced the formation of an anatase and rutile phase mixture in the 5.5 at. % W-TiO2 films, which directly affected photocatalytic activity. The W-TiO2 films showed good photocatalytic activity under UV-light irradiation, with a higher rate of methylene blue dye degradation than in the case of undoped TiO2.
