Hydrogen Diffusivity in Sputter-Deposited FeTi Film

Magnetic Phases of Sputter Deposited Thin-Film Erbium

We present a detailed structural and magnetic characterization of sputter deposited thin film erbium, determined by x-ray diffraction, transport measurements, magnetometry and neutron diffraction. This provides information on the onset and change of the magnetic state as a function of temperature and applied magnetic field. Many of the features of bulk material are reproduced. Also of interest ...

Sputter Deposited Tin Oxide Thin Film Properties and Their Application for Radio Wave Propagation

A major disadvantage of energy saving glass using tin oxide (SnO2) thin film is that SnO2 attenuates the mobile signal from passing through it. In order to improve such signal transmission, a frequency selective surface (FSS) structures are designed on SnO2 thin film. In this paper, SnO2 thin film with FSS structure was fabricated using combination of printed circuit board technology and reacti...

Band-gap Engineering in Sputter Deposited Amorphous/Microcrystalline ScxGa1-xN

Reactive sputtering was used to grow thin films of ScxGa1-xN with scandium concentrations of 20%70% on quartz substrates at temperatures of 300-675 K. X-ray diffraction (XRD) of the films showed either weak or no structure, suggesting the films are amorphous or microcrystalline. Optical absorption spectra were taken of each sample and the optical band gap was determined. The band gap varied lin...

Metal-to-insulator transition in sputter deposited 3NiÕAl thin films

Tribological behavior of sputter-deposited MoSX/Ni coatings

AbstractSputtered MoS2 coatings have been mostly used as a solid lubricant. In this investigation, MoSx/Ni composite coatings with Ni contents varying from 0 to 22 % were deposited onto steel substrate using a DC magnetron sputter process. The MoS2/Ni ratio in the coatings was controlled by sputtering the composite targets. The composition, microstructure, and mechanical properties of the...
