Magnetism in hafnium dioxide
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thin films of HfO2 produced by pulsed-laser deposition on sapphire, yttria-stabilized zirconia, or silicon substrates show ferromagnetic magnetization curves with little hysteresis and extrapolated Curie temperatures far in excess of 400 K. The moment does not scale with film thickness, but in terms of substrate area it is typically in the range 150–400 B nm −2. The magnetization exhibits a remarkable anisotropy, which depends on texture and substrate orientation. Pure HfO2 powder develops a weak magnetic moment on heating in vacuum, which is eliminated on annealing in oxygen. Lattice defects are the likely source of the magnetism.

Immobilization Mechanisms of Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) to Hafnium Dioxide (HfO<sub>2</sub>) Surfaces for Biosensing Applications
Immobilization of biomolecular probes to the sensing substrate is a critical step for biosensor fabrication. In this work we investigated the phosphate-dependent, oriented immobilization of DNA to hafnium dioxide surfaces for biosensing applications. Phosphate-dependent immobilization was confirmed on a wide range of hafnium oxide surfaces; however, a second interaction mode was observed on mon...
متن کاملRaman Spectra of High-κ Dielectric Layers Investigated with Micro-Raman Spectroscopy Comparison with Silicon Dioxide
Three samples with dielectric layers from high- κ dielectrics, hafnium oxide, gadolinium-silicon oxide, and lanthanum-lutetium oxide on silicon substrate were studied by Raman spectroscopy. The results obtained for high- κ dielectrics were compared with spectra recorded for silicon dioxide. Raman spectra suggest the similarity of gadolinium-silicon oxide and lanthanum-lutetium oxide to the bulk...
متن کاملDioxide ( TiO 2 ) using Poly ( methyl methacrylate ) ( PMMA )
The Minnesota Nano Center’s Keller Hall facility includes an atomic layer deposition (ALD) machine that is capable of depositing uniform alumina (Al2O3), hafnium oxide (HfO2), silicon dioxide (SiO2), zinc oxide (ZnO), and titanium dioxide (TiO2). ALD works by building alternate layers on a film using two different precursor gases – one usually supplying the metallic atoms and water vapor (H2O) ...
متن کاملElectrical characteristics of ultrathin Hafnium oxynitrides deposited on Si-substrate
Hafnium oxide and Hafnium oxynitrides thin films are deposited on a Si substrate using reactive sputtering. Compared with Hafnium dioxide, Hafnium oxynitrides showed excellent electrical characteristics such as low leakage current density and low capacitance equivalent oxide thickness. By X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), we were able to confirm nitrogen incorporation in the oxide bulk an...
