Barium titanate (BaTiO3) may be used in a number of thin-film applications in electronic and optoelectronic devices. For these devices the formation of epitactic films of the correct stoichiometry and phase is essential. In particular, the tetragonal form of BaTiO3, which is stable at room temperature, exhibits ferro-, pyro- and piezoelectric properties. It is desirable to form films of the tetragonal phase directly and thus to avoid formation of either amorphous or polycrystalline material or to form material of the non-ferroelectric cubic phase. Recently two techniques, pulsed-laser ablation and reactive evaporation, have been used to form BaTiO3 thin-films. In the present study BaTiO3 thin-films have been formed using the pulsed-laser ablation technique. Pulsed-laser ablation is now widely used to produce thin-films of the high temperature superconductors and has many advantages over other techniques, in particular the formation of films which maintain the stoichiometry of the target material and by controlling the processing conditions the formation of films having defined crystalline phases.

AbstractStructural features of CB_ x films obtained by pulsed laser ablation of targets made of pressed diamond powder with boron-powder additions at B/C atomic ratio of x = 0.33 have been studied. The films were deposited on heated substrates, so that diffusion processes involving C and B atoms on the surface and in the volume of films were possible. Selected conditions of film deposition ensured their effective doping with boron (0.4 ≤ x ≤ 0.6). The incorporation of B atoms was accompanied by the formation of B–C chemical bonds, whereas the formation of sp ^2 graphite bonds and their ordering in clusters with laminar packing was suppressed. The films possessed very low resistivity (~1.4 mΩ cm) at room temperature and exhibited metallic type of conductance on decreasing the temperature to 77 K.

The Cu-Al-O system is of considerable interest for electronic packaging, where thin copper wires are bonded to alumina substrates. In order to optimize the adhesion properties of Cu to alumina, it has been suggested that a ternary bonding environment is necessary at the interface. In comparison to a model oxide system such as NiO/alumina, where NiO is the only stable oxide of Ni and only one phase forms during the reaction, the situation is more complex in the Cu-Al-O system. First, two oxides of copper can form with CuO stable at room temperature and Cu2O stable above 1020°C in air. In addition, two copper aluminate reaction products (CuAl2O4 and CuAlO2) can form in the Cu-Al-O system. In a previous study it was found that both form during reactions in air at 1100°C, with the relative positions of each dependent on the crystallographic orientation of the alumina substrate.

Si nanocrystal grains were prepared by pulsed laser ablation with different laser fluence in Ar gas of 10 Pa at room temperature. The as-formed grains in the space deposited on the substrates and distributed in a certain range apart from target. According to the depositing position and radius of grains, the nucleation locations of grains in the space were roughly calculated. The results indicated that the width of nucleation region broadened with increasing of ion densities diagnosed by Langmuir probe, which increased with laser fluence from 2 J/cm2 to 6 J/cm2; that is, width of nucleation region broadened with addition of laser fluence. At the same time, the width broadened with the terminal formation position moving backward and the initial formation position of grains moving toward ablated spot. The experimental results were explained reasonably by nucleation thermokinetic theory.
