Composition-spread thin films of pentacene and 6,13-pentacenequinone fabricated by using continuous-wave laser molecular beam epitaxy

Synthesis of continuous composition-spread (CCS) thin films is widely recognized in combinatorial material science as a powerful technique for rapidly investigating the properties of new functional materials. However, there are very few reports of CCS organic thin films due to the fact that the thermal evaporation method with Knudsen cells, which is commonly used to fabricate organic thin films in vacuum, does not offer the necessary level of deposition rate control as, for example, does pulsed laser deposition (PLD). We have successfully fabricated organic CCS thin films of pentacene and 6,13-pentacenequinone by continuous-wave laser molecular beam epitaxy (CWL-MBE), which we developed as a new fabrication method for organic thin films. The composition-spread films were characterized systematically by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and two-probe conductivity measurements. The present work brings the advantages of high-throughput parallel synthesis and systematic characterization to the field of organic electronics, allowing for quick exploration and rapid optimization of organic functional materials and devices.

Pulsed laser deposition and its current research status in preparing hydroxyapatite thin films

Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is a conceptually and experimentally simple yet highly versatile tool for thin films and multi-layer film research. The mechanisms, advantages and disadvantages of pulsed laser deposition were reviewed. The process and some methods to resolve the drawbacks of PLD were discussed. Pulsed laser deposition of hydroxyapatite thin films was reviewed. Simple adjustment of PLD parameters can deposit hydroxyapatite in situ in crystalline form, amorphous films or HA with other calcium phosphate phases. Compared with plasma sprayed HA coatings the pulsed laser deposition HA thin films have higher coating/substrate adhesion and have minor undesirable phases under optimal conditions. Finally, we suggested some new researches should be done.

In situ STM of pulsed laser nanostructured deposits: First stages of film formation

In the synthesis of nanostructured thin films the characterization of the growth processes plays a fundamental role for the control of the film and surface properties. Moreover when the deposition technique is based on the production and the assembling of nanoparticles/clusters the characterization of the precursor size distribution is of fundamental importance.We have designed a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) apparatus for the production of nanostructured thin films and surfaces, connected to a UHV variable temperature scanning tunneling microscope (STM). The whole system is devoted to the synthesis and in situ study of nanostructured and nanoporous functional metal and metal oxide films and surfaces. We have deposited W nanoparticles produced by a few hundreds laser pulses in order to investigate the initial mechanisms of the film growth. Different deposition conditions have been explored by controlling the laser generated plasma expansion through a background gas in the PLD chamber. STM measurements have been performed on W thin films deposited on different substrates to study both the size distribution and the aggregation of the precursors on the surface. Although substrate effects must be taken into account, the control of the background gas pressure and of the target-to-substrate distance allows to produce surfaces with different morphologies. This opens the possibility to tailor the material properties through the control of the size and deposition energy of the building nano-units.     

Terahertz generation and detection of LT-GaAs thin film photoconductive antennas excited by lasers of different wavelengths

A new method of generating and detecting terahertz waves is proposed. Low-temperature-grown gallium arsenide (LT-GaAs) thin films are prepared by etching a sacrificial layer (AlAs) in a four-layer epitaxial structure constituted with LT-GaAs, AlAs, GaAs, and semi-insulating gallium arsenide (SI-GaAs). The thin films are then transferred to clean silicon for fabricating the LT-GaAs thin film antennas. The quality and transmission characteristics of the films are analyzed by an 800-nm asynchronous ultrafast time domain spectroscopy system, and the degree of bonding between the film and silicon wafer is determined. Two LT-GaAs thin film antennas for generating and detecting the terahertz waves are tested with a 1550-nm femtosecond laser. The terahertz signal is successfully detected, proving the feasibility of this home-made LT-GaAs photoconductive antennas. This work lays a foundation for studying the mechanism of terahertz wave generation in GaAs photoconductive antennas below the semiconductor band gap.     

Glassy carbon - A promising substrate material for pulsed laser deposition of thin Li1+xMn2O4−δ electrodes

The spinel LiMn₂O₄ is a promising candidate for future battery applications. If used as a positive electrode in a battery, the charging capacity of such a battery element is limited by the formation of a solid electrolyte interphase like layer between the electrolyte and the spinel. To study the electrolyte-electrode interaction during electrochemical cycling, spinel thin films are deposited as model electrodes on glassy carbon substrates by pulsed laser ablation. The obtained polycrystalline oxide thin films show a well defined surface morphology and are electrochemical active. Adhesion of these thin films on glassy carbon is in general poor, but can be improved considerably by a surface pretreatment or adding a thin metallic coating to the substrate prior deposition. The best adhesion is obtained for films deposited on argon plasma pretreated as well as Pt coated glassy carbon substrates. During the electrochemical characterization of Li_1.06Mn₂O_3.8 thin film electrodes, no additional reactions of the substrate are observed independent of the used electrolyte. The best cycle stability is achieved for films on Pt coated glassy carbon substrates.     

Optical and structural properties of pulsed laser ablation deposited ZnO thin film

A limited number of reports exists in the literature concerning the systematic study of the structural and optical properties of ZnO thin films, produced by pulsed laser ablation, in correlation with the deposition parameters adopted. In this paper we present a characterization of a sample prepared by this technique and studied by photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The dielectric function of both target and films has been deduced by reflection electron energy loss spectroscopy.     

Mg-Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and their derived mixed oxides grown by laser techniques

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been widely studied due to their applications as multifunctional materials, catalysts, host materials, anionic exchangers, adsorbents for environmental contaminants and for the immobilization of biological materials. As thin films, LDHs are good candidates for novel applications as sensors, corrosion resistant coatings or components in electro optical devices. For these applications, lamellar orientation-controlled film has to be fabricated.In this work, the successful deposition of LDH and their derived mixed oxides thin films by laser techniques is reported. Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and matrix assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE) were the methods used for thin films deposition. The ability of Mg-Al LDHs as a carrier for metallic particles (Ag) has been considered. Frozen targets containing 10% powder in water were used for MAPLE, while for PLD the targets consisted in dry-pressed pellets.The structure and the surface morphology of the deposited films were examined by X-ray Diffraction, Atomic Force Microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy and Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry.     

Investigation of transmittance property of Palladium thin films fabricated by pulsed laser deposition with polarization using single layer model

In this paper the structure, morphology and optical properties of Pd thin films deposited on glass substrate by pulse laser deposition technique at two different substrate temperatures have been investigated. The fabricated films were characterized by various methods such as XRD, AFM, and UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy. The influence of surface roughness and angle of incidence with p polarization was investigated experimentally by optical property of palladium (Pd) thin films of two different thicknesses and rms roughness from transmission measurement in the visible spectral range. It has been shown that the experimental transmittance spectra agree well with their theoretical values for absorbing Pd thin film. The transmittance of thin film increases with increase in incident angle for the same sample.
