In this paper, the effect of magnetic field on the morphology, structure and magnetic properties of electrodeposited FeCu/Cu thin films was investigated. The films were deposited on Au2PdAg/glass substrates using electrodeposition technique in potentiostatic control. The magnetic fields of 5000 and 7000 Oe were applied on deposition bath during deposition. Two series of thin films were prepared...

In this work, we measure the thermal and thermoelectric properties of large-area Si0.8Ge0.2 nano-meshed films fabricated by DC sputtering of Si0.8Ge0.2 on highly ordered porous alumina matrices. The Si0.8Ge0.2 film replicated the porous alumina structure resulting in nano-meshed films. Very good control of the nanomesh geometrical features (pore diameter, pitch, neck) was achieved through the a...

Understanding the correlation between film structure and its ferromagnetic properties is very important for applications. To this end, we have investigated epitaxial and smooth Ni films grown on MgO substrates using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and dc sputtering. To establish correlation between film morphology and structure with magnetic properties, we have used in situ and ex situ scanning tu...

By introduction of nano-structured crystallite capping layers, the power conversion efficiency of top-illumination organic solar cells is improved from 4.2 ± 0.1% to 6.0 ± 0.2%, representing a 44% enhancement. This is caused by the increase in JSC and led by the enhancement in the local E distribution inside the active layers. Comprehensive finite-difference time domain simulation reveals two m...

This paper presents a study of FeNi-based thin film materials deposited with Mo, Al and B using a co-sputtering process. The existence of soft magnetic properties in combination with strong magneto-mechanical coupling makes these materials attractive for sensor applications. Our findings show that FeNi deposited with Mo or Al yields magnetically soft materials and that depositing with B further...

The fabrication, characterization and application of nanostructured zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films on interdigitated silver electrodes were described for the determination of phosphate buffer saline (PBS) concentration. The ZnO thin films were synthesized on a silicon dioxide wafer using a sol-gel spin coating technique. Two different seed solutions were prepared by dissolving Zn-acetate dihydrate...

Nickel films with the thicknesses of 30 and 120 nm were deposited on glass substrates, at different substrate temperatures (313 to 600 K) under uhv condition. The nano-structure of the films and mean diameter of grains was obtained for each films using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Their optical properties were measured by spectrophotometry in the spectral range of 190-2500 nm. Kramers-Kronig ...
