Potential phase control of chromium oxide thin films prepared by laser-initiated organometallic chemical vapor deposition
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have used laser-initiated chemical vapor deposition to grow the chromium oxide thin films through the oxidation of Cr~CO!6 in an oxygen environment. While both Cr2O3 and CrO2 are present in the film, the relative weight of each phase depends on the oxygen partial pressure. The Curie temperature of the film increases and approaches the bulk TC of CrO2 ~397 K! as the partial oxygen pressure is increased. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1343846#

Selective Area Chemical Vapor Deposition of Chromium Oxides
We demonstrate that two-phase CrO2 and Cr2O3 thin films can be grown by using selective organometallic chemical vapor deposition through the oxidation of Cr(CO)6 in an oxygen environment. While the magnetization measurements show that both chromium oxides are present, the relative weight of each phase depends on the oxygen partial pressure. Changes of the Curie temperature, Tc, and the saturati...

متن کاملCopper and Copper Oxide Thin Films Obtained by Metalorganic Microwave Plasma Cvd
Microwave Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (MPECVD) is an innovative technique allowing the direct preparation, at low temperature, of different valence states of copper (Cu°, Cu, Cu). The precursor used is a volatile metalorganic one (copper acetylacetonate) with helium as a carrier gas. The precursor is then transported in a remote plasma of Ar, A1/O2 or A r / ^ O gas at low pressure...
متن کاملImproving Gas Sensing Properties of Tin Oxide Nanowires Palladium-Coated Using a Low Cost Technique
Thin films of SnO2 nanowires were successfully prepared by using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process on quartz substrates. Afterwards, a thin layer of palladium (Pd) as a catalyst was coated on top of nanowires. For the deposition of Pd, a simple and low cost technique of spray pyrolysis was employed, which caused an intensive enhancement on the sensing response of fabricated sensors...
