چکیده
Zirconium oxides were deposited using plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) involving (2-(N-methylamino)1-MethylEthyleneCyclopentadienyl)Bis(DiMethylAmino)Zr (abbreviated as CMEN-Zr) and oxygen plasma zirconium sources. The oxide thin films demonstrate temperature-independent growth rates per cycle of 0.94 A/cycle at 150–215 °C. ZrO2 characterized numerous analytical tools, i.e., X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy for chemical bonding state composition, diffraction crystallinity, force microscopy surface morphology, field-emission scanning electron cross-sectional analysis, spectroscopic ellipsometry UV–visible spectrophotometry optical characterization, capacitance–voltage measurements dielectric constants defects, current–voltage characteristics electrical information. insulating features the crystalline stoichiometric implemented in anode composites to evaluate influence ALD-based nano-features on electrochemical performance solid fuel cells, with main emphasis performance. presence nanomaterials Ni/YSZ is analyzed determine negative effects degradation cell cells (SOFCs). artificial design was proven be effective controlling long proper material adopted SOFC electrodes.

Surface morphology and crystallinity control in the atomic layer deposition (ALD) of hafnium and zirconium oxide thin films
Hafnium and zirconium oxide films were prepared by atomic layer deposition (ALD) from dialkylamido precursors. Water was used as the oxygen source. Nanolaminates of hafnium, zirconium and aluminum oxide were also prepared. Atomic force microscopy was used to characterize the surface morphology of 10–100 nm thick films grown from 501C to 3001C. X-ray diffraction was used to characterize the film...

In this paper, a method is presented to create and characterize mechanically robust, free-standing, ultrathin, oxide films with controlled, nanometer-scale thickness using atomic layer deposition (ALD) on graphene. Aluminum oxide films were deposited onto suspended graphene membranes using ALD. Subsequent etching of the graphene left pure aluminum oxide films only a few atoms in thickness. A pr...

Anode aluminum oxide-supported thin-film fuel cells having a sub-500-nm-thick bilayered electrolyte comprising a gadolinium-doped ceria (GDC) layer and an yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) layer were fabricated and electrochemically characterized in order to investigate the effect of the YSZ protective layer. The highly dense and thin YSZ layer acted as a blockage against electron and oxygen per...

Atomic-layer-deposition (ALD) of In2O3 nano-films has been investigated using cyclopentadienyl indium (InCp) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as precursors. The In2O3 films can be deposited preferentially at relatively low temperatures of 160-200 °C, exhibiting a stable growth rate of 1.4-1.5 Å/cycle. The surface roughness of the deposited film increases gradually with deposition temperature, which...
