Layer-by-layer Pattern Propagtion and Pulsed Laser Deposition
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article kinetic Monte Carlo simulations for molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and pulsed laser depositon (PLD) are compared. It will be shown that an optimal pattern conservation during MBE is achieved for a specific ratio of diffusion to deposition rate. Further on pulsed laser deposition is presented as an alternative way to control layer by layer growth. First results concerning the island density in the submonolayer regime are shown.

Evaluation of Vapor Deposition Techniques for Membrane Pore Size Modification
The suitability of three vapor deposition techniques for pore size modification was evaluated using polycarbonate track etched membranes as model supports. A feature scale model was employed to predict the pore geometry after modification and the resulting pure water flux. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) and pulsed plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), naturally, form asymmetric na...
متن کاملLayer-by-layer Growth for Pulsed Laser Deposition
Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is a popular growth method, which has been successfully used for fabricating thin films. Compared to continuous deposition (like molecular beam epitaxy) the pulse intensity can be used as an additional parameter for tuning the growth behavior, so that under certain circumstances PLD improves layer-by-layer growth. We present kinetic Monte-Carlo simulations for PLD ...
متن کاملLongitudinal Magneto-Optical Kerr Effect in Ce:YIG Thin Films Incorporating Gold Nanoparticles
We report an experimental study on optical and magneto-optical properties of Cesubstituted yttrium iron garnet thin films incorporating gold nanoparticles. Au nanoparticles were formed by heating Au thin film on cubic quartz and garnet substrate in vacuum chamber and a Ce:YIG layer was deposited on them by the aid of Pulsed laser deposition method. A large enhancement of the longitudinal Kerr e...
متن کاملCharacterization of nanostructured SnO2 thin film coated by Ag nanoparticles
Nanostructured SnO2 thin films were prepared using Electron Beam-Physical Vapor Deposition (EB-PVD) technique. Then Ag nanoparticles synthesized by laser-pulsed ablation were sprayed on the films. In order to form a homogenous coated of SnO2 on the glass surface, it was thermally treated at 500°C for 1 h. At this stage, the combined layer on the substrate was completely dried for 8 h in the air...
متن کاملPulsed laser deposition of organic thin ®lms
Excimer laser pulsed deposition was applied to the deposition of organic thin ®lms on sapphire and on glass. The thin ®lms were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), micro-Raman spectroscopy and ESCA. It was found that the properties of the ®lms were very close to that of the target materials. Strong photoluminescence was observed for both Alq3 and N,N 0-diphenyl-N,N 0-bis(3-methylphenyl)-(1,1 0...
