Growth of LiNbO3 epitaxial films by oxygen radical-assisted laser molecular beam epitaxy

LiNbO₃ films were epitaxially grown on c-sapphire substrates using oxygen radical-assisted laser molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). X-ray diffraction-based structural analysis showed that the films were epitaxial. Triple-axis rocking curve measurements of the LiNbO₃ (0 0 0 6) reflection revealed that the film was highly c-oriented with an extremely narrow mosaic; the full width at half maximum of the LiNbO₃ (0 0 0 6) rocking curve was 0.0036°, comparable to the value of high-quality bulk crystals. The surface of the film was very smooth, with a surface roughness r.m.s. value, measured by atomic force microscope, of 0.4 nm for a film of thickness 15 nm. The chemical composition of the film measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was stoichiometric within the accuracy of XPS measurement.     

Propagation of LaMnO3 laser ablation plume in oxygen gas

The propagation of LaMnO₃ laser ablation plume in oxygen background has been investigated using fast photography of overall visible plume emission and time-resolved optical emission spectroscopy. The plume expansion was studied with ambient oxygen pressures ranging from vacuum level to 100 Pa. Free-expansion, splitting, sharpening and stopping of the plume were observed at different pressures and time delays after the laser pulse. Time-resolved optical emission spectroscopy showed that oxides are mainly formed through reaction of the atomic species ablated from the target with oxygen in the gas-phase. These reactions mainly affect the content of lanthanum oxide in the plume, while emission of manganese oxide is barely observed in all the range of pressure investigated.

Two-dimensional imaging of atomic and nanoparticle components in copper plasma plume produced by ultrafast laser ablation

We report on the spatial and temporal evolution of the plume generated during ultrafast laser ablation of a pure copper target with 800 nm, ≈50 fs, Ti: Sapphire laser pulses. Time-gated imaging was used to record 2-dimensional images of plume populations. The temporal evolution of neutral (Cu*), and ionic (Cu⁺) components of the plume are separately imaged by exploiting bandpass interference filters, while nanoparticles are investigated by collecting their characteristic broadband emission. The ionic component of the plume moves two to three times faster than the neutral component, with a velocity which is almost independent of laser fluence. Plume emission intensity variations at different fluences and delay times are studied for both atomic and nanoparticle components.

Synchronously Pumped Femtosecond Optical Parametric Oscillator Based on MgO-Doped Periodically Poled LiNbO3

We report a femtosecond optical parametric oscillator based on MgO-doped PPLN synchronously pumped by a mode-locked Ti：sapphire laser. The wavelengths of the signal and idler are continuously tuned from 1100 to 1300hm and from 2080 to 2930nm, respectively, by changing the pump wavelength and the OPO cavity length. The maximum signal output power of 130mW at the wavelength of 1225nm is obtained, pumped by 900roW of 800hm laser radiation. This corresponds to a total conversion efficiency of 22.1%. The signal pulse duration is measured to be 167fs by intensity autocorrelation with chirped mirrors for intracavity dispersion compensation.     

Synthesis of C-N and Si-C films by pulsed laser ablation with frozen N2 and CH4 targets

The possibilities of pulsed laser single ablation (PLSA) from the frozen target materials, such as inert gases (Ar, Kr, Xe), N₂ and CH₄, using KrF excimer and YAG(SHG) lasers have been investigated. The single ablations were realized by the pulsed YAG(SHG) laser in a relatively short time, but the KrF excimer laser was unsuccessful. As an example of the application of pulsed laser co-ablation (PLCA) of the frozen target, polycrystalline hexagonal SiC films were formed without any post-thermal annealing by using frozen CH₄ on Si targets. The films, however, contain splashing Si particles. On the other hand, the PLSA method, using a mixture of frozen N₂ and CH₄ targets, enabled the formation of amorphous C-N films without splashing particles.

Si nanocrystallites in SiO2 with intense visible photoluminescence synthesized from SiOx films deposited by laser ablation

We observed very intense and highly reproducible photoluminescence (PL) spectra for SiO_x films obtained by laser ablation of Si targets in 50-mTorr oxygen gas followed by proper annealing. It was found that the PL peak continuously changes from 1.4 eV at the center of the samples to 1.8 eV at the sample edge. The optimum values of the oxygen component in SiO_x was x=1.3-1.4 and the optimum annealing temperature was 1000 °C for intense PL. From transmission electron microscopy images of annealed films, Si nanocrystallites are found to be formed in the matrix of SiO₂ grown from the SiO_x and have diameters of 2-3 nm. These indicate that a high density of Si nanocrystallites with diameters of 2-3 nm in the SiO₂ phase are probably responsible for the PL and that the Si nanostructure is well formed from the as-deposited, metastable SiO_x (x=1.3-1.4) films by annealing at 1000 °C.

LaNiO3 under-electrode layers for the growth of textured (Pb0.4Zr0.6)TiO3 thin films using pulsed laser deposition

We investigated the structural properties of LaNiO₃ thin films of three different thicknesses deposited by pulsed laser deposition on Si(001) mainly by using a synchrotron X-ray scattering measurement. The LaNiO₃ thin films were grown with the (00l) preferred growth direction, showing completely random distribution in the in-plane direction. In the early stage of the growth, the film was almost unstrained. However, as the film grew further, tensile strain was markedly involved. Also its surface became rougher but its crystalline quality improved significantly with increasing film thickness. A completely (00l)-oriented (Pb_0.4Zr_0.6)TiO₃ thin film was successfully grown on such a LaNiO₃/Si(001) substrate at a substrate temperature of 350 °C by using the same pulsed laser deposition. Our results show that the LaNiO₃ film can serve effectively as a bottom electrode layer for the preparation of a well-oriented (Pb_0.4Zr_0.6)TiO₃ thin film on Si substrates.     

Study of pulsed laser deposition of RuO2 and SrRuO3 thin films

In this study, the pulsed laser ablation of RuO₂ and SrRuO₃ (SRO) is investigated by observing the fluorescence from excited atoms in the plume by using a framing streak camera. Vaporization, phase explosion and boiling are suggested to play the main roles in the processes for the interaction between the laser beam and target. Collisions and adiabatic expansion are also suggested before particles move forward with shifted Maxwellian spatial distribution. In O₂ pressure, numerous collisions between fast and slow atoms occur and result in the exchange of speeds. The structural and electrical (conductivity and work-function) properties of RuO₂ and SRO thin films are measured. Epitaxial SRO growth was obtained at growth temperatures down to 350 °C. Ferroelectric and high- dielectric thin-film capacitors with RuO₂ or SRO thin film electrode are also studied.
