Yttria and ceria doped zirconia thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition

Yttria and Ceria Doped Zirconia Thin Films Grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition

The Yttria stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) is a standard electrolyte for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), which are potential candidates for next generation portable and mobile power sources. YSZ electrolyte thin films having a cubic single phase allow reducing the SOFC operating temperature without diminishing the electrochemical power density. Films of 8 mol% Yttria stabilized Zirconia (8YSZ) and fi...

Laser Performance of Yb-doped-Garnet Thin Films Grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition

Growth and planar-waveguide laser (PWL) performance of garnet-crystal-films are reported. Demonstration of 70% slope efficiency with >16.5W realized with Yb:YAG, along with the first Yb:GGG and Yb:YGG PWLs. Thickness and performance scaling will be discussed. OCIS codes: (310.0310) Thin films; (220.4610) Optical fabrication; (230.7390) Waveguides, planar; (130.0130) Integrated optics; (140.3380...

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...
