Preparation of C-axis-oriented CoCrPt Single-crystal Thin Films on Oxide Single-crystal Substrates.

Manufacture of Bi-cuprate thin films on MgO single crystal substrates by chemical solution deposition

Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 thin films have been deposited on MgO single crystal substrates by spin-coating a solution based on 2-ethylhexanoate precursors dissolved in xylene. Pyrolysis takes place between 200°C and 450°C and is accompanied by the release of 2-ethylhexanoic acid, CO2 and H2O vapour. Highly c-axis oriented Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 as well as Eror Ho-doped Bi2Sr2(Ca,Ln)Cu2O8 (Ln = Er, Ho) films were obt...

Large magnetoresistance of electrodeposited single-crystal bismuth thin films

Single-crystal bismuth thin films 1 to 20 micrometers thick were fabricated by electrodeposition and suitable annealing. Magnetoresistance up to 250 percent at 300 kelvin and 380,000 percent at 5 kelvin as well as clean Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations were observed, indicative of the high quality of these films. A hybrid structure was also made that showed a large magnetoresistive effect of 30 p...

High-Cycle Fatigue of Single-Crystal Silicon Thin Films

When subjected to alternating stresses, most materials degrade, e.g., suffer premature failure, due to a phenomenon known as fatigue. It is generally accepted that in brittle materials, such as ceramics, fatigue can only take place in toughened solids, i.e., premature fatigue failure would not be expected in materials such as single crystal silicon. The results of this study, however, appear to...
