Characterization of the Solid State Properties of Anodic Oxides on Magnetron Sputtered Ta, Nb and Ta-Nb Alloys

2012

Tantalum oxide, niobium oxide and Ta-Nb containing mixed oxides were grown by anodizing sputter-deposited Ta, Nb and Ta-Nb alloys of different compositions. A photoelectrochemical investigation was performed in order to estimate the band gap and the flat band potential of the oxides as a function of their composition. The band gap of the investigated Ta-Nb containing mixed oxides changed monotonically between those estimated for Ta2O5 (4.1 eV) and Nb2O5 (3.4 eV) and in agreement with a proposed correlation between the Band gap of an oxide and the difference of electronegativity of the oxide constituents. From the differential capacitance curves recorded in a wide range of electrode potentia…

Buffer-gas-free mass-selective ion centering in Penning traps by simultaneous dipolar excitation of magnetron motion and quadrupolar excitation for i…

2012

A new excitation scheme of the radial ion-motional modes is introduced for Penning-trap ion-cyclotron-resonance experiments. By simultaneous dipolar excitation of the magnetron motion and resonant quadrupolar excitation for the conversion between magnetron motion and cyclotron motion, a mass-selective recentering of the ions of interest is performed while all other (contaminant) ions are ejected from the trap. This new technique does not rely on the application of a buffer gas as presently used [G. Savard, St. Becker, G. Bollen, H.-J. Kluge, R.B. Moore, Th. Otto, L Schweikhard, H. Stolzenberg, U. Wiess, Physics Letters A 158 (1991) 247] and will thus prevent charge-exchange reactions and da…

Reactive direct current magnetron sputtered TiO2 thin films with amorphous to crystalline structures.

2008

International audience; TiO2 thin films were deposited on soda–lime glass substrates by reactive direct current magnetron sputtering in a mixture of pure argon and oxygen. The influence of both the deposition time, td, and the post-annealing treatments on the films morphology, composition and structure was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, ellipsometry, X-ray photoelectrons spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. Amorphous TiO2 was obtained for the shortest deposition time, td=15 min. Increasing td up to 30 min, poorly crystallized anatase and rutile phases were formed together with amorphous TiO2, as was revealed by complementary XRD patterns and Raman spectra…

Anti-mikrobiālās plānās kārtiņas: izgatavošanas tehnoloģija un īpašību noteikšana.

2022

Šī pētījuma galvenais mērķis ir izstrādāt plānās kārtiņas pārklājumu ar anti-mikrobiālām īpašībām. Šim mērķim tika pētīts volframa oksīda un vara kombinētas plānās kārtiņas pārklājums uz PET substrāta, kura struktūras parametru pamatā ir caurspīdīgs ap 120 nm biezs volframa oksīda slānis ar tam virsū uzklātu 20 nm vara slāni, kas, savukārt, ir apsegts ar 120 nm volframa oksīda slāni – WOx/Cu/WOx. Anti-mikrobiālo efektu noteikšanai tika adaptētas testēšanas metodoloģijas JIS Z 2801 “Antimicrobial products-Test for antimicrobial activity and efficacy” (Association JS 2001) un ES ISO 22196 “Measurment of antibacterial activity on plastic surfaces” (ES ISO 22196). Testēšana tika veikta ar E.col…

Preparation by radio-frequency magnetron co-sputtering and characterization of thin films of lanthanum–strontium ferromanganites

2005

Abstract (La 0.8 Sr 0.2 )(Mn 1 −  y Fe y )O 3 ± δ films with y  = 0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8 and 1, a few hundred nanometers thick, were deposited onto polycrystalline yttria-stabilized zirconia YSZ by a magnetron co-sputtering technique using individual targets of La 0.8 Sr 0.2 MnO 3 and La 0.8 Sr 0.2 FeO 3 . The deposition parameters, substrate temperature and gas pressure, were studied by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry, X-ray diffraction and interferential microscopy for their effects on the morphological, chemical, topographic and crystallographic properties of films and YSZ-film interfaces. (La 0.8 Sr 0.2 )(Mn 1 −  y Fe y )O 3 ±  δ thin films were found to be …

RF magnetron-sputtered coatings deposited from biphasic calcium phosphate targets for biomedical implant applications

2017

Bioactive calcium phosphate coatings were deposited by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering from biphasic targets of hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate, sintered at different mass % ratios. According to Raman scattering and X-ray diffraction data, the deposited hydroxyapatite coatings have a disordered structure. High-temperature treatment of the coatings in air leads to a transformation of the quasi-amorphous structure into a crystalline one. A correlation has been observed between the increase in the Ca content in the coatings and a subsequent decrease in Ca in the biphasic targets after a series of deposition processes. It was proposed that the addition of tricalcium phosphate to th…

Magnētiskā lauka modelēšana planāra magnetrona gadījumā

2016

Magnetronputināšanas lielākais trūkums ir zemais mērķa materiāla izlietošanas koeficients. Lai palielinātu lietderību, ir jāpalielina plazmas zonas, to lielumu tieši ietekmē magnetrona magnētiskā lauka konfigurācija. Dažādu magnētiskā lauka konfigurāciju modelēšanā izmantota programma ELCUT. Ir atrasta magnētu konfigurācija, kas varētu palielināt magnetrona lietderības koeficientu. Darba ietvaros tika izstrādāta instrukcija magnētiskā lauka modelēšanai ar programmu ELCUT. Darbā tika pētīta magnētiskā lauka konfigurācija planārā magnetronā, mainot magnētu izvietojumu, kā arī salīdzināti reālu magnetronu magnētiskā lauka indukcijas mērījumi ar programmas ELCUT aprēķinātajām vērtībām.

Optimization of ZnO:Al/Ag/ZnO:Al structures for ultra-thin high-performance transparent conductive electrodes

2012

Al-doped ZnO (AZO)/Ag/AZO multilayer coatings (50-70 nm thick) were grown at room temperature on glass substrates with different silver layer thickness, from 3 to 19 nm, by using radio frequency magnetron sputtering. Thermal stability of the compositional, optical and electrical properties of the AZO/Ag/AZO structures were investigated up to 400 °C and as a function of Ag film thickness. An AZO film as thin as 20 nm is an excellent barrier to Ag diffusion. The inclusion of 9.5 nm thin silver layer within the transparent conductive oxide (TCO) material leads to a maximum enhancement of the electro-optical characteristics. The excellent measured properties of low resistance, high transmittanc…
