چکیده
Amorphous zirconium titanate thin films was prepared on Pt coated silicon substrates by pulsed excimer laser ablation technique at a very low substrate temperature of 200 3OOOC in 0 2 ambient. The temperature and frequency dispersion of dielectric permittivity was investigated on amorphous ZrTiO, thin films. These films exhibited a marked dielectric relaxation at temperatures 500 700 K in a frequency range of 0.1 1OOkHz. This behaviour was explained based on a dipolar relaxation. Analysis of the temperature dependence on relaxation time and electrical conductivity were done. An investigation on the correlation between mechanisms and models of the dielectric relaxation, origin of dielectric relaxation and the thermally activated motion of ionized defects in the amorphous structure are discussed.

Carbon nitride materials synthesized by Ion-assisted pulsed laser deposition
Synthesis of carbon nitride has been an important topic in materials science since 1993. Ion-assisted pulsed laser deposition is proven to be a good method to deposit carbon nitride thin films. Both amorphous and crystal -C3N4 layers can be deposited on many substrates. A standard experimental set-up comprises a pulsed KrF excimer laser (wavelength 248 nm, duration ∼30 ns) that is used to ablat...
متن کاملTest structures for dielectric spectroscopy of thin films at microwave frequencies
This work describes the application of two different test structures to execute broadband microwave measurements of the dielectric constant of ceramic thin films. Coplanar waveguide probes and vector network analyzer were used to measure the dielectric constant versus frequency of thin films of lead zirconate titanate and zirconium titanate, fabricated by sol gel methods. One-step lithography w...

Compositionally graded barium strontium titanate @(BaxSr12x)TiO3—BST, x50.75, 0.8, 0.9, and 1.0# thin films are fabricated by pulsed-laser deposition on a LaAlO3 substrate with (La0.7Sr0.3)MnO3 as the bottom electrode. A high dielectric permittivity and temperature characteristic without Curie–Weiss law are obtained. A tunability of over 70% is obtained at frequency of 1 MHz, which is higher th...

The sol-gel method produces amorphous or crystalline thin gel films of metallic solid compounds by solidifying a sol formed by hydrolyzing and polymerizing a solution containing metallic compounds. Sol-gel processes are widely employed in the field of chemistry to prepare ceramic powders and thin films of hafnium oxide (HfO2) (Nishide et al., 2000) and zirconium oxide (ZrO2) ( Liu et al., 2002)...
متن کاملExcimer laser ablation of thin gold films on a quartz crystal microbalance at various argon background pressures
Excimer laser ablation of gold films deposited on a quartz crystal microbalance is investigated. The ablation rate is directly obtained from the frequency shift of the microbalance. The measured single-shot ablation rate is found to be at least two orders of magnitude higher than the numerical predictions based on a surface vaporization model. Surface morphologystudies indicate that hydrodynami...
