Pulsed laser deposition of a PBN:65 morphotropic phase boundary thin film with large electrostriction

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...

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...

Pulsed Laser Deposition of Hydroxyapatite Thin Films

Pulsed laser deposition of organic thin ®lms

Excimer laser pulsed deposition was applied to the deposition of organic thin ®lms on sapphire and on glass. The thin ®lms were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), micro-Raman spectroscopy and ESCA. It was found that the properties of the ®lms were very close to that of the target materials. Strong photoluminescence was observed for both Alq3 and N,N 0-diphenyl-N,N 0-bis(3-methylphenyl)-(1,1 0...

Pulsed laser deposition of VO2 thin films

High quality vanadium dioxide ~VO2! thin films have been successfully deposited by pulsed laser deposition without postannealing on ~0001! and ~101̄0! sapphire substrates. X-ray diffraction reveals that the films are highly oriented with ~010! planes parallel to the surface of the substrate. VO2 thin films on ~0001! and ~101̄0! substrates show semiconductor to metal transistions with electrical r...
