Ultrashort-laser-pulse-driven rewritable phase-change optical recording in Sb-based films 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This paper reviews the work we have carried out over the last years on the development of ultrashort-laser-pulse-driven, rewritable,
phase-change optical memories. The materials we have tailored for this application are non-stoichiometric, Sb-rich amorphous
thin films, which can be crystallized upon irradiation with ultrashort laser pulses, showing a large optical contrast upon
transformation. This result makes them very promising for the development of rewritable phase-change optical memories under
ultrashort pulses, since the reversibility of the process has also been demonstrated. Adequate control of the heat-flow conditions
has allowed us to achieve a full transformation time faster than 400 ps for crystallization/amorphization using 30-ps pulses.
The crystallization threshold fluence has been found to decrease upon irradiation with pulses shorter than 800 fs, thus suggesting
the relevance of high-electronic-excitation-induced processes in the amorphous-to-crystalline phase transition. This has been
confirmed by the observation of an ultrafast, non-thermal phase transition occurring 200–300 fs after the arrival of the laser
pulse at the surface, for fluences above the crystallization threshold. The presence of this transient phase conditions the
final state induced therefore enabling the applicability of this material as a rewritable recording medium using femtosecond
pulses.

Co nanoparticles fabricated by ion beam synthesis in SiO2 films were investigated with transmission electron microscopy and superconducting quantum interference device technique.
Variation of the thermal treatment enables the formation of Co nanoclusters of different sizes ranging from 2 to 40 nm. Small
nanoclusters of about 2–3 nm are amorphous, whereas clusters above 7 nm show the configuration of cubic Co nanocrystals. Measurements
of magnetisation at temperatures between 2 K and 360 K reveal superparamagnetic behaviour for the small nanoclusters up to
3 nm and ferromagnetism for clusters above 7 nm.

由于尺寸缩小引起的量子效应, 硒(Se) 材料的低维纳米结构具有更高的光响应和低的阈值激射等特性, 因此成为纳米电子与纳米光电子器件领域一个重要的研究方向. 本文通过对非晶硒薄膜的快速热退火来制备硒纳米颗粒, 退火温度在100–180℃之间时, 结晶后的硒纳米颗粒均为三角晶体结构, 其颗粒尺寸随退火温度的增加而线性增大. 光致发光谱测试发现三个发光峰, 分别位于1.4eV, 1.7eV和1.83eV. 研究发现位于1.4eV处的发光峰来源于非晶硒缺陷发光, 位于1.83eV处的发光峰来源于晶体硒的带带跃迁发光; 而位于1.7eV处的发光峰强度随激发功率增强而指数增大, 且向短波长移动, 该发光峰应该来源于非晶硒与硒纳米颗粒界面处的施主-受主对复合发光.

We deposited amorphous thin films of boron carbide by pulsed laser deposition using a B4C target at room temperature. As the laser fluence increased from 1 to 3 J/cm2, the number of 0.25–5 μm particulates embedded in the films decreased, and the B/C atomic ratio of the films increased from
1.8 to 3.2. The arrival of melt droplets, atoms, and small molecular species depending on laser fluence appeared to be involved
in the film formation. In addition, with increasing fluence the nanoindentation hardness of the films increased from 14 to
32 GPa. We believe that the dominant factor in the observed increase in the films’ hardness is the arrival of highly energetic
ions and atoms that results in the formation of denser films.

Structure, refractive-index dispersion and the optical absorption edge of chemically deposited ZnxCd(1-x)S thin films 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Zinc cadmium sulfide, ZnxCd(1-x)S, thin films have been deposited by a simple and inexpensive chemical bath deposition method from an aqueous medium using
thiourea as a sulfide-ion source. The structure of the deposited films has been characterized by X-ray diffraction and transmission
electron microscopy. It was observed from X-ray diffraction that the as-deposited films were amorphous in nature. However
ZnxCd(1-x)S films annealed at 423 K for 1.5 h show a crystalline structure with a small scattering volume. The obtained results were
confirmed throughout the transmission electron microscopy and the corresponding electron-diffraction patterns. The optical
constants of ZnxCd(1-x)S films annealed at 423 K for 1.5 h in the compositional range 0≤x≤1 were estimated using transmission and reflection spectra
in the wavelength range 300–2500 nm. The band gap varies non-linearly with the value of x. The dependence of the refractive
index on the wavelength obeys the single-oscillation model, from which the dispersion parameters and the high-frequency dielectric
constant were determined. A graphical representation of the surface and volume energy-loss functions was also given.

Bilayer Sb/Se films are irradiated with 12 ns pulses from an ArF laser (extended areas) and from a focused Ar+ laser (micron-sized areas). Real-time reflectivity measurements are used to determine if the process occurs within the solid or liquid phase and the transformation time, in addition to measure the optical contrast and the medium sensitivity. Transmission electron microscopy is used to analyze the structure of the transformed areas and the medium resolution. The results show that mixing is initiated by preferential melting at the grain boundaries and an amorphous phase is produced upon irradiation at high energy densities. Finally, the characteristics of the mixing process in Sb/Se films as a write-once optical recording mechanism are discussed in terms of the sensitivity and resolution of the recorded spots and the time required for recording. 相似文献

We report a simple way to synthesize carbon nanotubes and nanostructures from the solid phase. Vacuum annealing of diamond-like
carbon (DLC) films or polyethylene mixed with catalyst in argon atmosphere leads to the formation of nanotubes and nanostructures.
High-resolution transmission electron microscopy studies reveal highly graphitized multi-walled nanotubes (MWNTs) or amorphous
fibre-like structures, depending on the catalyst amount. This synthesis process may give a new approach to understanding the
phase transition of different carbon allotropes into nanotubes or nanostructures.

On the yellow-band emission in CdS films 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

CdS polycrystalline thin films were prepared by the chemical bath deposition (CBD) method on glass substrates. X-ray diffraction
(XRD) studies show that the films grow in the cubic zinc-blende crystalline phase. Upon thermal annealing (TA) in Ar+S2 flux at normal pressure in the temperature range 240–510 °C, the evolution of the transformation into the hexagonal wurtzite
phase is observed. This hexagonal crystalline structure is the stable phase. From XRD diagrams the phase transition can be
appreciated to occur upon TA at approximately 300 °C. Photoluminescence (PL) data prove that the green-emission band is present
for well-defined phases – cubic or hexagonal ones. A second band located at 2.2 eV appears for samples near the transition
region. This band at 2.2 eV, called the yellow band, has already been reported to be associated with interstitial Cd atoms.
A model for this yellow-band-mechanism formation, arising during the phase transformation, has been proposed based on Frenkel-pair
creation.

Light-induced surface modification of a series of liquid-crystalline side-chain azobenzene polyesters which have the same
main- and side-chain structure but eleven different substituents on the azobenzene is investigated. Using a transmission mask
as well as single focused beams we show that the formation of the surface relief is dependent on the substituents. In both
experiments irradiation with p-polarized light generates peaks for the CN, CF3, CH3 and F substituents, while for a Cl substituent valleys are observed. Also s-polarized light is found to produce surface deformations.
An amorphous azobenzene polyester was included in the study for comparison. The results point to a mechanism of the surface
relief phenomenon, in which the architecture of the polyesters plays a crucial role.

Photoluminescence (PL) at room temperature has been achieved in amorphous thin films and powders of the TiO2–PbO system. They were prepared by the polymeric precursor method with [PbO]/[TiO2] molar ratios ranging from 0.0 to 1.0. The energy position of maximum PL emission and the PL intensity showed dependence
on Pb concentration. The Pb addition suggests an increase in the number of non-bridging oxygens (NBO) in the amorphous TiO2 network. These results support the relationship between photoluminescence and structure in TiO2-based amorphous materials.

We propose and demonstrate the direct recording of submicrometer relief gratings in amorphous hydrogenated carbon (a -C:H) films by reactive ion etching (RIE) for use as diffractive optical components. The high refractive index of this film and its transparency in the IR make such structures promising candidates for IR-transmission diffractive optical components. The structures are holographically recorded in photoresist and then transferred to a thin aluminum layer that is used as a mask for RIE of the a -C:H films. The diffraction measurements of the structures recorded in these films demonstrated the feasibility of using the materials as diffractive optical components. 相似文献

UV (325 nm) holographic recording of gratings in indium oxide films fabricated by reactive pulsed laser deposition has been
investigated as a function of growth temperature, oxygen pressure and angle of incidence of the plasma plume on the substrate.
The influence of the ambient environment (air or vacuum) and the film temperature during recording has also been studied.
Large steady state refractive index changes up to 6×10-3 were observed in layers grown at an oblique angle of 75°. About 77% of the magnitude of these changes residues after thermal
annealing and is attributed to UV-induced permanent structural rearrangements. In contrast, refractive index changes in films
grown at normal incidence were smaller in magnitude and completely reversible.

Optical second-harmonic generation is investigated in free-standing (110) porous silicon films having strong in-plane birefringence.
Based on the measured values of the refractive indices, the conditions of phase matching are calculated and verified in the
experiments on angular and polarization dependences of second-harmonic generation. Filling pores with a transparent dielectric
liquid allows phase matching to be achieved and the second-harmonic signal to be increased by two orders of magnitude. The
results of these experiments suggest an opportunity to form new-type nonlinear-optical media consisting of birefringent porous
silicon as a phase-matching matrix for the materials embedded in the pores.

Silicon suboxide thin films have been fabricated by physical vapor deposition of silicon monoxide in vacuum at controlled
oxygen partial pressure. These films undergo a phase separation into silicon- and oxygen-enriched regions upon thermal processing.
At temperatures around 900 °C, the onset of Si nanocrystallite formation is observed, regardless of film stoichiometry. With
increasing initial oxygen content of the films, the mean size of created nanocrystallites decreases whereas the corresponding
photoluminescence emission blueshifts. The photoluminescence intensity increases with increasing annealing temperature up
to 1050 °C. Upon resonant excitation at low temperatures, the photoluminescence exhibits phonon replica signature. Therefore,
the emission may be attributed to excitonic recombination in the nanocrystallites.

For the deposition of cubic boron nitride thin films in Ar–N2–BF3–H2 system by dc jet plasma chemical vapor deposition, the role of dc substrate bias ranging from -70 V to -150 V was investigated.
A critical bias voltage was observed for the formation of cBN phase. The cBN content in the film increased with bias voltage
and reached a maximum at the bias voltage of -85 V. Increasing the bias voltage further caused a decrease in cBN content and
peeling of the films from the substrate. By combining the results of infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction,
the bias voltage was also found to strongly affect the crystal size, crystal quality and residual stress of the deposited
films. A bias voltage a little higher than the critical value was demonstrated to be favorable for the deposition of a high-quality
cBN film with large crystal size and low residual stress.

The structure and magnetic properties of amorphous melt-spun and subsequently crystallized GdNiAl ribbons were investigated.
An amorphous phase was formed after the quenching process by melt spinning with a copper wheel having a surface speed of 30 m/s.
A hexagonal phase with lattice parameters a=7.023 ? and c=3.916 ? was formed in the GdNiAl ribbon after annealing above its
crystallization temperature. Magnetic entropy change was calculated directly from isothermal magnetic measurements. The results
show that both the amorphous and annealed samples have a high magnetocaloric effect, indicating that these alloys can be considered
as candidates for magnetic refrigeration applications.

Nanocrystalline thin films of complex oxides such as BaTiO3 and LaFeO3 were prepared by pulsed laser ablation without substrate heating. Targets under various Ar pressures were irradiated using
an ArF excimer laser. The off-axis configuration of targets and substrates was used to synthesize the films. The crystallinity
and chemical composition of the deposited films were strongly dependent on the processing Ar gas pressure. In case of BaTiO3, the film deposited at 10 Pa was a single phase of BaTiO3 with a crystallite size around 7.2 nm. With increasing Ar pressure to 200 Pa, XRD peaks of BaTiO3 as well as BaCO3 were observed. The by-products could be due to reaction with carbon dioxide in air after taking the sample out of the chamber.
For LaFeO3, the films deposited under 50 to 200 Pa had a single phase with a crystallite size below 10 nm. When the Ar pressure exceeded
100 Pa, the crystallite size tended to decrease for both BaTiO3 and LaFeO3, which could be due to formation of aggregated nanoparticles. Below 10 Pa, oxygen deficiency was observed. Over 50 Pa, the
atomic concentration of all the constituent elements was almost constant, especially the [Ba]/[Ti] and [La]/[Fe] ratios, which
were nearly unity.

Al-Cu-Fe thin films were prepared by laser induced arc (laser-arc) method from a single source-Al63Cu25Fe12 alloy, which was proved to consist of quasicrystalline phase together with approximant phase. The composition of the deposited films meets the requirement for formation of icosahedral symmetry phase. Quasicrystalline phase was obtained after annealing the amorphous as-deposit film samples. The optical properties of the samples were investigated. Thin film samples of Al, Cu and Fe deposited under the same condition were employed for comparison. The results showed specific reflective properties of Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystal thin film in some wavelength range. The optical conductivity of the films exhibited a negative peak, centered about 440 nm in range of 190to 800 nm. The Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystal thin films could absorb almost all the ray in the wavelength range from 420nm to 450 nm. The ratio of absorption was greater than 99%. 相似文献
