Green Electroluminescence of Al/Tb/Al/SiO2 Devices Fabricated by Electron Beam Evaporation

Age Hardening of Ultrafine Grained Al-Ti-Cr Alloys Fabricated by Continuous Electron Beam Evaporation

Supersaturated Al-Ti-Cr alloys were produced by a continuous electron beam evaporation technique. The as-deposited alloy sheets were fcc supersaturated solid solution with an average grain size of about 400 nm. Due to the fine grain size, the hardness of the alloy was as high as 270Hv. The sheet showed age hardening, and the peak hardness of 340Hv was obtained after aging at 623K for 900 s, in ...

Structural and optical properties of Al-Tb/SiO2 multilayers fabricated by electron beam evaporation

Electro-Optic Devices with Nanometer Scale Structures Fabricated by Electron Beam

Decomposition of chromophore molecules under direct electron beam irradiation reduces the refractive index of chromophore containing polymers. The induced refractive index contrast between the exposed and unexposed regions is high enough for waveguide bends of small radius and thus micro-ring resonator devices. This electron beam bleaching of chromophore-containing polymers provides a fabricati...

Silicon nanowires prepared by electron beam evaporation in ultrahigh vacuum

One-dimensional silicon nanowires (SiNWs) were prepared by electron beam evaporation in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV). The SiNWs can be grown through either vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) or oxide-assisted growth (OAG) mechanism. In VLS growth, SiNWs can be formed on Si surface, not on SiO2 surfaces. Moreover, low deposition rate is helpful for producing lateral SiNWs by VLS. But in OAG process, SiNWs can b...

Ultraflat carbon film electrodes prepared by electron beam evaporation.

A facile method for the preparation of thin-film carbon electrodes by electron beam evaporation onto highly doped silicon is presented. The physical and electrochemical properties of these films both before and after postdeposition pyrolysis are investigated. Raman spectroscopy establishes the amorphous structure of the nonpyrolyzed carbon films and confirms the formation of graphitic carbon af...
