Quartz Crystal Microbalance Study on Photoelectrochemical Deposition of Lead(IV) Oxide on Titanium(IV) Oxide Nanoparticulate Films

Formation of Cupric Oxide Films on Quartz Substrates by Annealing the Copper Films

In the present work, cupric oxide (CuO) films were obtained through thermal annealing of the copper (Cu) films deposited on quartz substrates by DC magnetron sputtering method. The annealing was performed in air atmosphere for different times ranging from 60-240 min at temperature of 400 ºC. The influence of annealing times on structural and morphological properties of the films was investi...

Two-Stage Chemical Deposition of Oxide Films

Two-stage chemical deposition (TSCD) technique is used to produce ZnO, Mn2O3 and NiO films on soda-lime glass (SL-G) from an aqueous solution of zinc, manganese and nickel complex, respectively. The TSCD method enables the deposition of metal oxide thin films with a thickness which can be controlled during the preparation procedure. The ZnO, Mn2O3 and NiO thin films were polycrystalline films w...

Bridging the gap between macro- and nanotribology: a quartz crystal microbalance study of tricresylphosphate uptake on metal and oxide surfaces.

We report a quartz crystal microbalance study of the nanodynamical properties of tricresylphosphate (TCP) reaction films formed on high purity Fe, Cr, Fe oxide, and Cr oxide surfaces at elevated temperatures. The data reveal trace levels of interfacial slippage, potentially in conjunction with viscoelastic effects, for reaction films characterized by very low macroscopic friction coefficients. ...

In situ examination of tin oxide atomic layer deposition using quartz crystal microbalance and Fourier transform infrared techniques

The atomic layer deposition sALDd of tin oxide thin films has been examined using in situ quartz crystal microbalance sQCMd and Fourier transform infrared sFTIRd techniques. The SnOx films were deposited using sequential exposures of SnCl4 and H2O2 at temperatures from 150 to 430 °C. The linear growth of the tin oxide ALD films was observed by both the mass gain during QCM measurements and the ...
