Time-Resolved Observation of Deposition Process of Ultrananocrystalline Diamond/Hydrogenated Amorphous Carbon Composite Films in Pulsed Laser Deposition

Structure and mechanical properties of low stress tetrahedral amorphous carbon films prepared by pulsed laser deposition

Tetrahedral amorphous carbon films have been produced by pulsed laser deposition, at a wavelength of 248 nm, ablating highly oriented pyrolytic graphite at room temperature, in a 10−2 Pa vacuum, at fluences ranging between 0.5 and 35 Jcm−2. Both (100) Si wafers and wafers covered with a SiC polycrystalline interlayer were used as substrates. Film structure was investigated by Raman spectroscopy...

PULSED LASER DEPOSITION OF BaCe0.85Y0.15O3 FILMS F.W.Dynys

Pulsed laser deposition has been used to grow nanostructured BaCe0.85Y0.15O3films. The objective is to enhance protonic conduction by reduction of membrane thickness. Sintered samples and laser targets were prepared by sintering BaCe0.85Y0.15O3powders derived by solid state synthesis. Films 2 to 6 μm thick were deposited by KrF excimer laser on Si and porous Al2O3 substrates. Nanocrystalline fi...

Pulsed Laser Deposition of Hydroxyapatite Thin Films

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...
