Microstructure and optical properties of scandium oxide thin films prepared by metalorganic chemical-vapor deposition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dense, high-index, and reproducible scandium oxide (Sc2O3) thin films with high mechanical strength were grown on glass substrates by metalorganic chemical-vapor deposition. The influence of deposition temperature on the microstructure evolution and optical properties of Sc2O3 thin films was investigated by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, atomic-force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and spectrophotometry. A close relationship between microstructure and optical properties was found for Sc2O3 thin films prepared at different deposition temperatures. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1424072#

Effect of growth time on ZnO thin films prepared by low temperature chemical bath deposition on PS substrate
ZnO thin films were successfully synthesized on a porous silicon (PS) substrate by chemical bathdeposition method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM),and photoluminescence (PL) analyses were carried out to investigate the effect of growth duration(3, 4, 5, and 6 h) on the optical and structural properties of the aligned ZnO nanorods.

Thin alumina films were deposited on stainless steel, type AISI 304. The deposition process was carried out in nitrogen with low partial pressures of water (0-2.6 x 10 -2 kPa (0-0.20 mmHg)) by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) with aluminium-tri-sec-butoxide (ATSB) as the precursor. Also results are presented regarding the alumina deposition in the presence of small amounts of 2-...

Fine-grain thin superconducting films can be prepared by metalorganic Chemical Aerosol Deposition Technology (CADT). In this paper, we present the preparation and properties of YBa2Cu307_ x films on the different substrates, Si and SrTiO 3 (100). It is shown that the zero-resistance temperature (Tc,0) of the films on SrTiO 3 substrates is about 90 K, and the critical current density (Jc) at 77 ...
