Using a pulsed electron beam evaporation in vacuum mesoporous nanopowder CaF 2 with specific surface area up to 60.5 m /g were produced. The effect of annealing different media on the evolution magnetic and texture properties nanoparticles has been studied. For first time, medium magnetization nanopowders was discovered. Keywords: nanopowders, calcium fluoride, ferromagnetism, evaporation.

Generation of metal vapour by electron beam heating is a complex phenomenon that involves many concurrent physical and dynamical processes in response to the impact of concentrated flux of energetic electrons on the metal target. These processes occurring at different stages need to be understood in detail for optimization of the process. Detailed investigations were carried out in our laborato...

A simple yet highly reproducible method to fabricate metallic electrodes with nanometer separation is presented. The fabrication is achieved by passing a large electrical current through a gold nanowire defined by electron-beam lithography and shadow evaporation. The current flow causes the electromigration of gold atoms and the eventual breakage of the nanowire. The breaking process yields two...

A nanolaboratory—a prototype nanomanufacturing system—is presented, which is composed with a nanorobotic manipulation system with 4 units and 16 degrees-offreedom (DOFs), a nano fabrication system based on electron-beam-induced deposition (EBID) with an internal or external precursor evaporation reservoir equipped with a thermal field emission electron source or a nanotube cold cathode, and a r...

Thin films of metallically conductive titanium mononitride and carbide were prepared by means of electron beam evaporation. The composition of the samples could be changed over appreciable ranges by introducing nitrogen in the system or adding carbon to the pure starting material, respectively. The transport properties of the resulting compounds were studied as a function of nonstoichiometry an...

An UHV chamber is designed and developed for preparing thin films and multilayers of various elements, alloys and compounds using electron beam evaporation (EB) and ion beam sputtering (IBS) techniques. The developed chamber is equipped with magnetooptic Kerr effect (MOKE) and resistivity techniques in order to perform in-situ magnetic and transport properties measurements of ultra thin films. ...

This paper presents a new method for the fabrication of metal-like decorative layers on glazed ceramic tiles. It consists of the laser treatment of Cu thin films prepared by electron-beam evaporation at glancing angles. A thin film of discontinuous Cu nanoparticles was electron-beam-evaporated in an oblique angle configuration onto ceramic tiles and an ample palette of colors obtained by laser ...

Using electron beam evaporation, a Si/CeO2/Si~111! structure has been grown in a molecular beam epitaxy machine. In situ low energy electron diffraction, cross sectional transmission electron microscopy, selected area diffraction, and atomic force microscopy have been used to structurally characterize the overlying silicon layer and show it to be single crystalline and epitaxially oriented.
