In this paper, we reported the possibility to image non-conducting P(VDF-TrFE) copolymer films by STM. The films had the thickness of ∼25.0 nm and were spin-coated onto Au or graphite substrates. For films deposited on Au substrates, STM images showed grain structures of ∼100 nm, much larger than the grains of bare Au substrate. With increased scan rate, the film surface was damaged by STM tip and extreme protrusions and holes were observed. For films deposited on graphite substrates, we only obtained an image of very flat plane and could not observe the topography of the film surface. It seemed that the tip had pierced through the uppermost P(VDF-TrFE) layers and only imaged the layers nearest to the substrate. Asymmetrical current-voltage curves were observed from copolymer films deposited on HOPG. Experimental results were discussed.  相似文献

Influence of substrate on electronic sputtering of fluoride (LiF, CaF2 and BaF2) thin films, 10 and 100 nm thin, under dense electronic excitation of 120 MeV Ag25+ ions irradiation is investigated. The sputtering yield of the films deposited on insulating (glass) and semiconducting (Si) substrates are determined by elastic recoil detection analysis technique. Results revealed that sputtering yield is higher, up to 7.4 × 106 atoms/ion for LiF film on glass substrate, than that is reported for bulk materials/crystals (∼104 atoms/ion), while a lower value of the yield (2.3 × 106 atoms/ion) is observed for film deposited on Si substrate. The increase in the yield for thin films as compared to bulk material is a combined effect of the insulator substrate used for deposition and reduced film dimension. The results are explained in the framework of thermal spike model along with substrate and size effects in thin films. It is also observed that the material with higher band gap showed higher sputtering yield.  相似文献

Electrical response of anatase TiO2 films is discussed for different concentrations of CO gas (20-100 ppm) in a nitrogen gas ambient. We investigated temperature (100-300 °C) and film thickness (100-1000 nm) effects for films deposited on glass, sapphire (0 0 0 1) and, Si(1 0 0) substrates. In general, there is a drop in resistance of the device when exposed to CO gas. Films deposited on sapphire showed a larger decrease in the resistance at 300 °C compared to those deposited on glass and silicon substrates. However, films grown on glass and silicon substrates showed a larger decrease in the resistance values for temperature around 200 °C when CO (ppm) values are greater than 40. The change in resistance of the films varies as square root of the CO gas concentration at 200 °C for films deposited on all the three substrates. In general, the decrease in resistance for thicker films is large compared to thinner ones, indicating participation of the bulk in the detection of CO gas. In the presence of O2, film loses its sensitivity to CO gas when the concentration level of O2 approaches 1800 ppm.  相似文献

We report stress dependence of growth characteristics of epitaxial γ-Na0.7CoO2 films on various substrates deposited by pulsed laser deposition method. On the sapphire substrate, the γ-Na0.7CoO2 thin film exhibits spiral surface growth with multi-terraces and highly crystallized texture. For the γ-Na0.7CoO2 thin film grown on the (1 1 1) SrTiO3 substrate, the nano-islands of ∼30 nm diameter on the hexagonal grains are observed. These islands indicate that the growth mode changes from step-flow growth mode to Stranski-Krastanow (SK) growth mode. On the (1 1 1) MgO substrate, the large grains formed by excess adatoms covering an aperture between hexagonal grains are observed. These experimental demonstrations and controllability could provide opportunities of strain effects of NaxCoO2, physical properties of thin films, and growth dynamics of heterogeneous epitaxial thin films.  相似文献

Nanowires of various inorganic materials have been fabricated due to the realization of their applications in different fields. Large-area and uniform cupric oxide (CuO) nanowires were successfully synthesized by a very simple thermal oxidation of copper thin films. The copper films were deposited by electron beam evaporation onto Ti/Si substrates, in which Ti film was first deposited on silicon substrate to serve as adhesion layer. The structure characterization revealed that these nanowires are monoclinic structured single crystallites. The effects of different growth parameters, namely, annealing time, annealing temperature, and film thickness on the fabrication of the CuO nanowires were investigated by scanning electron microscopy. A typical procedure simply involved the thermal oxidation of these substrates in air and within the temperature range from 300 to 700 °C. It is found that nanowires can only be formed at thermal temperature of 400 °C. It is observed that the growth time has an important effect on the length and density of the CuO nanowires, whereas the average diameter is almost the same, i.e.50 nm. Different from the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) and vapor-solid (VS) mechanism, the growth of nanowires is found to be based on the accumulation and relaxation of the stress.  相似文献

FeSe0.5Te0.5 thin films with PbO-type structure are successfully grown on MgO(1 0 0) and LaSrAlO4(0 0 1) substrates from FeSe0.5Te0.5 or FeSe0.5Te0.75 polycrystalline targets by pulsed-laser deposition. The film deposited on the MgO substrate (film thickness ∼ 55 nm) shows superconductivity at 10.6 K (onset) and 9.2 K (zero resistivity). On the other hand, the film deposited on the LaSrAlO4 substrate (film thickness ∼ 250 nm) exhibits superconductivity at 5.4 K (onset) and 2.7 K (zero resistivity). This suggests the strong influence of substrate materials and/or the c-axis length to superconducting properties of FeSe0.5Te0.5 thin films.  相似文献

In this paper, Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) films were deposited on glass substrates at different substrate temperatures by RF magnetron sputtering. The effect of substrate temperature on the structural, surface morphological properties, Seebeck and magnetoresistive effects of GZO films was investigated. It is found that the GZO films are polycrystalline and preferentially in the [0 0 2] orientation, and the film deposited at 300 °C has an optimal crystal quality. Seebeck and magnetoresistive effects are apparently observed in GZO films. The thermoelectromotive forces are negative. Decreasing substrate temperature and annealing in N2 flow can decrease carrier concentration. The absolute value of the Seebeck coefficient increases with decreasing carrier concentration. The maximal absolute value of Seebeck coefficient is 101.54 μV/K for the annealed samples deposited at the substrate temperature of 200 °C. The transverse magnetoresistance of GZO films is related to both the magnetic field intensity and the Hall mobility. The magnetoresistance increases almost linearly with magnetic field intensity, and the films deposited at higher substrate temperature have a stronger magnetoresistance under the same magnetic field, due to the larger Hall mobility.  相似文献

Nanostructured CuO films have been grown on to the glass substrate by varying the deposition time from 10 to 30 min and substrate temperature from 300 to 400 °C by a simple ultrasonic spray pyrolysis technique, using aqueous a cupric nitrate solution as precursor. The effect of the substrate temperature on the textural, structural, electrical, and gas sensing properties of CuO films was studied and correlated. Thermal analysis of the dried precursor shows the elimination of physisorbed and chemisorbed water. It suggests the formation of CuO phase on substrate at temperature of 300 °C. X-ray diffractograms of the films indicate the formation of polycrystalline monoclinic CuO having monoclinic with crystallite size around 18 nm. The texture coefficient finds the (0 0 2) plane as the preferred orientation in films. The microstrain and dislocation densities have been calculated and found to decreases with increase in substrate temperature. The scanning electron micrographs indicate the formation of trapezium like facet structures on the film surface. AFM analysis shows uniform deposition of the CuO film over the entire substrate surface. Observations reveal that the film deposited at 300 °C show comparatively higher activation energy and appreciable response to ammonia at room temperature. The use of aqueous cupric nitrate as precursor results in the deposition of single phase copper oxide films.  相似文献

ZnO:Al thin films with c-axis preferred orientation were deposited on glass and Si substrates using RF magnetron sputtering technique. The effect of substrate on the structural and optical properties of ZnO:Al films were investigated. The results showed a strong blue peak from glass-substrate ZnO:Al film whose intensity became weak when deposited on Si substrate. However, the full width at half maxima (FWHM) of the Si-substrate ZnO:Al (0 0 2) peaks decreased evidently and the grain size increased. Finally, we discussed the influence of annealing temperature on the structural and optical properties of Si-substrate ZnO:Al films. After annealing, the crystal quality of Si-substrate ZnO:Al thin films was markedly improved and the intensity of blue peak (∼445 nm) increased noticeably. This observation may indicate that the visible emission properties of the ZnO:Al films are dependent more on the film crystallinity than on the film stoichiometry.  相似文献

Depending upon the method of synthesis and the nature of substrate surface, there is variation in the physico-chemical properties of the material. Cuprous iodide films are deposited at room temperature on the glass and copper substrates by a simple SILAR method and the obtained results are compared. The p-type material with optical band gap 2.88 eV is found to be possessing face-centered cubic crystal structure with lattice parameter 6.134 Å. We observed irregular particles for the CuI film on the glass substrate while patterned arrays of micro-rods with cabbage like tips on copper substrate, for the same preparative conditions. Also, the material deposited on copper is showing superhydrophobic nature (contact angle ∼156°) while that on glass it is hydrophilic (contact angle ∼88°). We have characterized the thin films by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, surface roughness and contact angle measurement, thermoelectric power measurement and optical studies. This hydrophobic, p-type material with wide band gap will be helpful in the development of optoelectronic devices.  相似文献

The annealing effects of sapphire substrate on the quality of epitaxial ZnO films grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) were studied. The atomic steps formed on (0 0 0 1) sapphire (α-Al2O3) substrate surface by annealing at high temperature was analyzed by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The annealing effects of sapphire substrate on the ZnO films were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), AFM and photoluminescence (PL) measurements. Experimental results indicate that the film quality is strongly affected by annealing treatment of the sapphire substrate surface. The optimum annealing temperature of sapphire substrates is given.  相似文献

ZrC thin films were grown on (0 0 1)Si, (1 1 1)Si and (0 0 0 1)sapphire substrates by the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique. X-ray diffraction, X-ray reflectivity and Auger electron spectroscopy investigations were used to characterize the structure and composition of the deposited films. It has been found that films grown at temperatures higher than 700 °C under very low water vapor pressures were highly textured. Films deposited on (0 0 1)Si grew with the (0 0 1) axis perpendicular to the substrate, while those deposited on (1 1 1)Si and (0 0 0 1)sapphire grew with the (1 1 1) axis perpendicular to the substrate. Pole figures investigations showed that films were epitaxial, with in-plane axis aligned to those of the substrate.  相似文献

The ZnO films were deposited on c-plane sapphire, Si (0 0 1) and MgAl2O4 (1 1 1) substrates in pure Ar ambient at different substrate temperatures ranging from 400 to 750 °C by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence and Hall measurements were used to evaluate the growth temperature and the substrate effects on the properties of ZnO films. The results show that the crystalline quality of the ZnO films improves with increasing the temperature up to 600 °C, the crystallinity of the films is degraded as the growth temperature increasing further, and the ZnO film with the best crystalline quality is obtained on sapphire at 600 °C. The intensity of the photoluminescence and the electrical properties strongly depend on the crystalline quality of the ZnO films. The ZnO films with the better crystallinity have the stronger ultraviolet emission, the higher mobility and the lower residual carrier concentration. The effects of crystallinity on light emission and electrical properties, and the possible origin of the n-type conductivity of the undoped ZnO films are also discussed.  相似文献

GaMnN films with 1-3% Mn deposited on Si(100) and Al2O3(0001) substrates, by the technique of nebulized spray pyrolysis by employing acetylacetonate precursors, have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence spectra and other techniques. The films are ferromagnetic and show magnetic hysteresis. The ferromagnetic TC increases with the Mn content, with the 3% Mn film showing a TC of ∼250 K. Anomalous Hall effect is observed below TC where the films exhibit a small negative magnetoresistance.  相似文献

The potential of rapid thermal processing (RTP) for the preparation of thin films of niobium oxynitrides was investigated. The 200 and 500 nm niobium films were deposited via sputtering on oxidized silicon(1 0 0)- and on sapphire(1 −1 0 2)-substrates. At first, oxidation of niobium films in molecular oxygen and then nitridation in ammonia using an RTP-system was performed. The films were characterized before and after the oxidation and nitridation processes by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). The influence of the two different substrates, amorphous SiO2 and single crystalline sapphire on the reactivity of the niobium films was studied in dependence of temperature, time of reaction and film thickness. The existence of niobium oxynitride formation was verified for some of the films. In some of the experiments, crack formation in the films or even delamination of the Nb-films from the substrates was observed.  相似文献

In this work, we report on the electrodeposition of ZnO thin films on n-Si (1 0 0) and glass substrates. The influence of the deposition time on the morphology of ZnO thin films was investigated. The ZnO thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show a variation of ZnO texture from main (0 0 2) at 10 min to totally (1 0 1) at 15 min deposition time. The photoluminescence (PL) studies show that both UV (∼382 nm) and blue (∼432 nm) luminescences are the main emissions for the electrodeposited ZnO films. In addition, the film grown at 15 min indicates an evident decrease of the yellow-green (∼520 nm) emission band comparing with that of 10 min. Finally, transmittance spectra show a high transmission value up to 85% in the visible wavelength range. Such results would be very interesting for solar cells applications.  相似文献

In this paper we present the effect of low substrate temperature on structural, morphological, magnetic and optical properties of Ba-hexaferrite thin films. Films were deposited on single crystal Silicon (1 0 0) substrate employing the Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) technique. The structural, morphological, magnetic and optical properties are found to be strongly dependent on substrate temperature. The low substrate temperatures (room temperature to 200 °C) restrict the formation of larger grains. For the higher substrate temperature i.e., 400 °C, the grain size of the deposited thin film are much larger. The film grown at low substrate temperature do not show any anisotropy. As the substrate temperature is increased, the easy axis of the films alinged itself in the direction parallel to the film plane whereas the hard axis remained in the perpendicular direction. The higher substrate temperature caused the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy, which is very important in magnetic recording devices. The saturation magnetization and optical band gap energy values of 62 emu/cc and 1.75 eV, respectively, were achieved for the film of thickness 500 nm deposited at 400 °C. Higher values of coercivity, squareness and films thickness are associated with the growth of larger grains at higher substrate temperature.  相似文献

We report on the structural and optical properties of yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique and in situ crystallized at different substrate temperatures (Ts = 400 °C, 500 °C and 600 °C). Yttria-stabilized zirconia target of ∼1 in. diameter (∼95% density) was fabricated by solid state reaction method for thin film deposition by PLD. The YSZ thin films were grown on an optically polished quartz substrates and the deposition time was 30 min for all the films. XRD analysis shows cubic crystalline phase of YSZ films with preferred orientation along 〈1 1 1〉. The surface roughness was determined by AFM for the films deposited at different substrate temperatures. The nano-sized surface roughness is found to increase with the increase of deposition temperatures. For the optical analysis, a UV-vis-NIR spectrophotometer was used and the optical band gap of ∼5.7 eV was calculated from transmittance curves.  相似文献

An aqueous solution of cupric nitrate trihydrate (Cu(NO3)2·3H2O) modified with cetyltrimetylammonium bromide (CTAB) is used to deposit CuO films on glass substrate by chemical spray pyrolysis technique. The thermal analysis shows that the dried CTAB doped precursor decomposes by an exothermic reaction and suggests that minimum substrate temperature for film deposition should be greater than 270 °C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies indicate the formation of monoclinic CuO with preferential orientation along (0 0 2) plane for all film samples. The CTAB used as cationic surfactant in precursor results in the suppression of grain growth in films along the (1 1 0), (0 2 0) and (2 2 0) crystal planes of CuO. Surfactant modified films showed an increase in crystallite size of 14 nm at substrate temperature of 300 °C. The scanning electron micrographs (FESEM) confirm the uniform distribution of facets like grains on the entire area of substrate. CTAB modified films show a significant reduction in the particle agglomeration. Electrical studies of the CuO films deposited at substrate temperature of 300 °C with and without surfactant reveal that the CTAB doping increase the activation energy of conduction by 0.217 eV and room temperature response to ammonia by 9%. The kinetics of the ammonia gas adsorption on the film surface follows the Elovich and Diffusion models.  相似文献

Zirconium aluminium oxynitride multiphase composite film is deposited on zirconium substrate using energetic nitrogen ions delivered from dense plasma Focus device. X-ray diffractometer (XRD) results show that five Focus shots are sufficient to initiate the nucleation of ZrN and Al2O3 whereas 10 Focus shots are sufficient to initiate the nucleation of AlN. XRD results reveal that crystal growth of nitrides/oxides increases by increasing Focus shots (up to 30 Focus shots) and resputtering of the previously deposited film is taken place by further increase in Focus shots (40 Focus shots). Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) results indicate the uniform distribution of spherical grains (∼35 nm). A smoother surface is observed for 20 Focus shots at 0° angular position. SEM results also show a net-type microstructure (thread like features) of the sample treated for 30 Focus shots whereas rough surface morphology is observed for 40 Focus shots. Energy dispersive spectroscopic profiles show the distribution of different elements present in the deposited composite films. A typical microhardness value of the deposited composite films is 5255 ± 10 MPa for 10 grams imposed load which is 3.3 times than the microhardness values of unexposed sample. The microhardness values of the exposed samples increases with increasing Focus shots (up to 30 Focus shots) and decreases for 40 Focus shots treatment due to resputtering of the previously deposited composite film. The microhardness values of the composite films decreases by increasing the sample's angular position.  相似文献
