Theory of Magnetostatic Coupling in Thin-Film Rectangular Magnetic Elements

Characterization of nanostructured SnO2 thin film coated by Ag nanoparticles

Nanostructured SnO2 thin films were prepared using Electron Beam-Physical Vapor Deposition (EB-PVD) technique. Then Ag nanoparticles synthesized by laser-pulsed ablation were sprayed on the films. In order to form a homogenous coated of SnO2 on the glass surface, it was thermally treated at 500°C for 1 h. At this stage, the combined layer on the substrate was completely dried for 8 h in the air...

Magnetic Thin Film Characterization

An improvement on the fabrication of magnetic thin films is currently on a level of intense research as these films are of great interest in the device industry. Some of these thin films posses high permeability and ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) frequency in the GHz range which are suitable for electromagnetic use. Methods for fabricating these films include sputtering, pulse laser deposition (...

Impact of nanostructured thin ZnO film in ultraviolet protection

Nanoscale ZnO is one of the best choices for ultraviolet (UV) protection, not only because of its antimicrobial properties but also due to its potential application for UV preservation. However, the behavior of nanostructured thin ZnO films and long-term effects of UV-radiation exposure have not been studied yet. In this study, we investigated the UV-protection ability of sol gel-derived thin Z...
