Matrix-Assisted Pulsed Laser Thin Film Deposition by Using Nd:YAG Laser

Pulsed laser deposition vs. matrix assisted pulsed laser evaporation for growth of biodegradable polymer thin films

Thin films of poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA), a biodegradable polymer, were deposited on Si wafers by both conventional pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and matrix assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE) using chloroform (CHCl3) as a matrix solvent. This research represents an initial study to investigate the deposition characteristics of each technique at comparable conditions to gain insig...

Li-rich Thin Film Cathode Prepared by Pulsed Laser Deposition

Li-rich layer-structured cathode thin films are prepared by pulsed laser deposition. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electrochemical testing in half battery cells are used to characterize crystal structure, surface morphology, chemical valence states and electrochemical performance of these thin films, resp...

Synthesis of Novel Thin-Film Materials by Pulsed Laser Deposition

Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is a conceptually and experimentally simple yet highly versatile tool for thin-film and multilayer research. Its advantages for the film growth of oxides and other chemically complex materials include stoichiometric transfer, growth from an energetic beam, reactive deposition, and inherent simplicity for the growth of multilayered structures. With the use of PLD, a...

Growth, Characterization of Cu Nanoparticles Thin Film by Nd: YAG Laser Pulses Deposition

We report the growth and characterization of Cu nanoparticles thin film of on glass substrate by pulse laser deposition method. The Cu thin film prepared with different energy 50, 60, 70, and 80 mJ. The energy effect on the morphological, structural and optical properties were studied by AFM, XRD and UV-Visible spectrophotometer. Surface topography studied by atomic force microscopy revealed na...
