Test-Photostability of pulsed laser deposited amorphous thin films from Ge-As-Te system
نویسندگان
چکیده
Amorphous thin films from Ge-As-Te system were prepared by pulsed laser deposition to study their intrinsic photostability, morphology, chemical composition, structure and optical properties. Photostability of fabricated layers was studied by spectroscopic ellipsometry within as-deposited as well as relaxed (annealed) layers. For irradiation, laser sources operating at three wavelengths in band gap region of the studied materials were employed. The results show that lowest values of photorefraction accompanied with lowest changes of band gap values were exhibited by Ge20As20Te60 thin films, which are therefore considered as the layers with highest photostability in relaxed state. The structure of the films is discussed based on Raman scattering spectroscopy data.

Pulsed laser deposition technique was used for the fabrication of Ge-Te rich GeTe-Sb2Te3 (Ge6Sb2Te9, Ge8Sb2Te11, Ge10Sb2Te13, and Ge12Sb2Te15) amorphous thin films. To evaluate the influence of GeTe content in the deposited films on physico-chemical properties of the GST materials, scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray diffraction and reflectometry, atomic fo...
متن کاملUltraviolet Emitting SrS:Te Thin Films
In the bulk SrS has an indirect bandgap of ~ 4.32 eV. When SrS is doped with tellurium, ultraviolet emission occurs at 360 nm (for singlet) and 400nm (for Te-Te dimers) due to recombination from bound exciton states. In this paper we discuss the ultraviolet emission of pulsed laser deposited thin films of SrS:Te grown at room temperature on Si. Deposited film thickness ranged from 0.1 – 1.5 μm,...

Strontium sulfide (SrS) is known to have an indirect bandgap of ~ 4.32 eV. When doped with tellurium (Te), ultraviolet emission occurs at 360 nm (for Tes singlet) and 400nm (for TesTes dimers) due to radiative recombination from bound exciton states.

Pulsed laser deposition of La0.5Sr0.5MnO3 (LSMO) thin films on quartz wafers at different deposition temperatures has been carried out. The microstructural, electrical and low-field magnetotransport properties of these films are evaluated as functions of the deposition temperature. The film crystallinity depends substantially on the deposition temperature. Significantly enhanced low-field magne...

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...
