چکیده

Nitrogenated, tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) ®lms prepared by the ®ltered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA) technique have been studied using ultraviolet (UV, 244 nm) and visible (514 nm) micro-Raman scattering. The nitrogen ions were produced by a RF ion-beam source with a nitrogen ̄ow-rate varying from 0 to 10.0 sccm, which results in a nitrogen content from 0 to 10.8 at.% in the deposited ®lms. In the visible Raman spectra, only vibrational modes of sp-bonded carbon (G and D peaks) are observed, while a new wide peak, called the T peak, located at 1090±1320 cm, associated with the vibrational mode of sp-bonded carbon, appears in the UV-Raman spectra. In the visible Raman spectra, the G-peak width (100±113 cm) and the intensity ratio ID/IG (0.34±0.94) are both sensitive to the structural changes induced by N incorporation. In the UV-Raman spectra, the G-peak position almost linearly decreases from 1665 to 1610 cm, and the Tpeak position increases tremendously from 1095 to 1314 cm with increasing N content. The G-peak position and width, and the T-peak position, are all sensitive to the bonding structure of the ®lms. q 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.

We report on the observation of ,1.54 mm guided wave absorption and ̄uorescence in channel waveguides fabricated in erbium-doped thin-®lm epitaxial BaTiO3. Luminescence transient measurements indicate that the relaxation of the excited Er ions is dominantly radiative. q 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.

A method to grow high-quality SiGe graded buffer layer is presented. The main concept of the method is to use Sb as a surfactant when growing SiGe graded layers. Compared with a Si0.5Ge0.5 graded sample without Sb surfactant, the Sb-assisted Si0.5Ge0.5 graded layer has much smoother surface and a signi®cantly lower threading dislocation density. Thermal conductivity of a symmetrically strained ...

We have obtained further insights into the CBD growth mechanisms of ZnS thin ®lms using an aqueous medium containing an ammonium salt. At room temperature the optimum concentration of this salt has enabled us to increase the thickness of the ®lm by more than 400%. The optical transmission below the band edge of our best ®lm is also found to be excellent. q 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights ...

Transport properties of exchange-biased magnetic tunnel junction structures are reported as a function of tunnel barrier Ž . thickness. The temperature dependence of the tunneling conductance and magnetoresistance MR is consistent with recent theories relating it to the magnon excitations at the electrode]barrier interface or the temperature-dependent surface magnetization. We have also measure...

A new sol±gel route was applied to prepare alumina ®lms by using AlCl3 ́6H2O as starting material and acetylacetone (AcAc) as additive. Our research results show that AcAc and aluminum form a complex compound in the sol, which makes the sol very stable. Meanwhile, the complex structure prevents the decomposition going on quickly during the sintering process and the obtained ®lms are free of crac...
