        The possibility of modifying and adjusting the properties of ZnO-based sensors in the post-fabrication stage is demonstrated by singly- and co-sputtering of ZnO thin films with zirconium and titanium nanoparticles. First, thin films of zinc oxide are created on glass substrates by sol-gel process and spin coating, and some of these films are converted to UV sensors through electrode placement on them by thermal evaporation method. Then, a number of the initial detectors are singly- and co-doped with Ti and Zr using sputtering deposition technique. Experiments show that the modification and adjustment of the parameters of the sensors through low current sputtering technique (LCST) is possible more efficiently and controllably. The transient response of all sensors are measured using I-t tests with periodic UV illumination before and after sputtering. Comparison of the results before and after doping shows that the photoresponsivity is improved on all doped sensors, and in many cases, a simultaneous improvement in this quantity and rise time is observed. In the best-case scenario, relative to undoped sensors, the photoresponsivity of the sensors doped with zirconium increases by more than 429 times, while the rise time of the sensors co-doped with titanium and zirconium decreases to less than 50%. This experience indicates that the modification and adjustment of the properties of ZnO-based sensors and actuators after electrode placement, to a large extent, is possible through LCST. It is noteworthy that this can be performed depending on the need and selectively in the shortest time, at the lowest cost. پرونده مقاله

        In this paper, the optical images of glow discharge plasma and the finite element method simulation of the magnetic field strength in a balanced and two types of unbalanced DC circular planar magnetron sputtering sources are presented. The investigation showed that wherever the magnetic field strength is stronger, the intensity of light and the ionization are greater and consequently, the deposition is higher. The comparison of recorded optical images with the finite element simulation results of the magnetic field strength indicated the correlation between regions of high magnetic field strength and high light emission. پرونده مقاله

        AbstractTo obtain a suitable ohmic contact with the lowest resistivity, chromium (Cr) thin films were deposited on transparent conductive oxide indium tin oxide (ITO) by RF sputtering method in argon atmosphere and its electrical properties were optimized. The deposition of Cr thin film has been performed for the layers with thickness of 150, 300 and 600 nm in constant Ar gas flow of 30 SCCM. Results show that the lowest contact resistivity belongs to the layer with 600 nm thickness. Furthermore, Cr/ITO has been studied for five different RF powers of 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 W. Experimental results show that specific contact resistance of Cr/ITO contact decreases in condition of depositing chromium thin films on ITO at higher RF powers. Analysis of SEM has been performed on the samples. The SEM micrographs show Cr thin films have smaller grains at RF power of 150 W, in comparison with other RF powers. The lowest specific contact resistivity for Cr/ITO has been obtained 4.7 × 10−2 Ω cm2 at RF power of 150 W with 600 nm thickness of chromium thin films. پرونده مقاله

        AbstractTitanium nitride (TiN) films are prepared by direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering of a titanium (Ti) target in an argon (Ar) + nitrogen (N2) atmosphere on bare and pulsed DC plasma-nitrided high-speed steel (AISI M2) substrate. One set of coating is deposited using different N2 partial pressures keeping the working pressure fixed, and it leads to variable film thickness. Another set of coating of equal thickness is prepared at the same working pressure with variable substrate biasing voltage. The detailed structure of the coatings is analyzed by X-ray diffraction study. The texture coefficient (Tc) determined from X-ray diffraction studies at various deposition conditions gives information about crystallographic orientation. It is found that the same deposition condition leads to different orientation of TiN coatings on bare AISI M2 and plasma-nitrided AISI M2 substrate. The results are discussed in terms of energy minimization and substrate-induced preferred orientation. پرونده مقاله

        AbstractEuropium-doped gallium oxide (Ga2O3:Eu) thin films have successfully been grown using direct current magnetron sputtering by means of Eu concentration variation. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy spectra indicate gallium, oxygen, and europium elements as the growing films' chemical compositions. Based on scanning electron microscopy images, the morphology of Ga2O3:Eu thin film is seemingly like a granulated nano-size configuration. In this study, UV-visible spectrophotometer results show that the variation of Eu doping concentration inflicted no change toward the optical bandgap of the growing films. The optical bandgaps of undoped Ga2O3 film and Ga2O3:Eu film were seen to be relatively similar, i.e., approximately 3.4 eV. Yet, the presence of Eu doping in Ga2O3 configuration had led to blueshift phenomenon when the concentration was 2% and redshift phenomenon when it was 5%. Photoluminescence emissions of all samples were observed in the red area with the emission peak between 593 and 602 nm. پرونده مقاله

        AbstractSwanepoel method is employed for spectroscopic determination of optical properties of Cu3N thin film using transmittance data. Investigated films have been deposited using reactive magnetron sputtering system. Deposition time was 9 to 21 min. Refractive index, absorption coefficient, and bandgap energy of the samples are determined. Thickness of the films is calculated by Swanepoel method, and result is compared with the thickness of the films measured by profilmeter. It is shown that Swanepoel method is a reliable way to calculate the optical constants of thin films when the transmittance spectrum of the film is influenced by wavelike patterns due to reflection of the probe beam from different interfaces. پرونده مقاله

        AbstractSilver (Ag) nanolayers were deposited on nickel oxide (NiO) thin films by DC magnetron sputtering. The thickness of Ag layers was in range of 20–80 nm by variation of deposition time between 10 and 40 s. X-ray diffraction results showed that the crystalline properties of the Ag/NiO films improved by increasing the Ag film thickness. Also, atomic force microscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy images demonstrated that the surface morphology of the films was highly affected by film thickness. The film thickness and the size of particles change by elevating the Ag deposition times. The composition of films was determined by Rutherford back scattering spectroscopy. The transmission of light was gradually reduced by augmentation of Ag films thickness. Furthermore; the optical band gap of the films was also calculated from the transmittance spectra. پرونده مقاله

        AbstractAl-doped ZnO (Al/ZnO) thin film is a promising alternative to an ITO electrode in solar cell applications due to its low price, non-toxicity and other promising properties. In this paper, Al/ZnO thin films at different substrate temperatures were deposited on glass substrates as transparent conducting (TCO) films by DC magnetron sputtering. The effect of substrate temperature on the structural, morphological and optical properties of Al/ZnO films was investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis suggests that crystal structure characteristics of synthesized thin films depend on the substrate temperature. The structure growth and variation in surface roughness with increasing substrate temperature are revealed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) micrographs and atomic force microscopy (AFM) analyses. Thicknesses of the deposited films were also examined by surface profiler. Moreover, obtained results from optical transmission patterns revealed that with the increasing substrate temperature, optical transmittance decreases. پرونده مقاله

        AbstractCadmium sulfide (CdS) thin films are deposited on the fluorine doped tin oxide coated glass substrate using the radio frequency magnetron sputtering setup. The effects of annealing in air on the structural, morphological, and optical properties of CdS thin film are studied. Optimal annealing temperature is investigated by annealing the CdS thin film at different annealing temperatures of 300, 400, and 500 °C. Thin films of CdS are characterized by X-ray diffractometer analysis, field emission scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, UV–Vis–NIR spectrophotometer and four point probe. The as-grown CdS films are found to be polycrystalline in nature with a mixture of cubic and hexagonal phases. By increasing the annealing temperature to 500 °C, CdS film showed cubic phase, indicating the phase transition of CdS. It is found from physical characterizations that the heat treatment in air increased the mean grain size, the transmission, and the surface roughness of the CdS thin film, which are desired to the application in solar cells as a window layer material. پرونده مقاله

Moreover, Ag atoms laying in boundaries of these nanoparticles in these circumstances caused c axis to orient and (001) peak intensity in XRD spectrum to increase. This is the result of the indirect exchange interactions of Fe magnetic atoms through Ag atoms in these boundaries. Therefore, where L10-FePt grains have the most boundaries with each other, the order index would be maximum. پرونده مقاله

        AbstractThe ZnS thin films have been deposited by radio frequency magnetron sputtering at room temperature. Post-deposition rapid thermal annealing treatment was done for the films deposited at different powers ranging from 70 to 100 W. One peak is observed for as-deposited and annealed thin films at around 28.48° corresponding to the (111) reflection plane indicating a zincblende structure. The overall intensity of the peaks and the FWHM values of as-deposited films increased after annealing corresponding to the increase in crystallinity. The optical energy bandgap is found in the range of 3.24–3.32 eV. With increasing annealing temperature, the decrease in the Urbach energy values indicating a decrease in localized states which is in good agreement with the XRD results where the crystallinity increased. The surface morphology of the films seems to be composed of Nano-granules with a compact arrangement. Apparently, the grain size increases in the deposited films as annealing temperature increases. The compositional ratio attained close to the stoichiometric ratio of 1:1 after annealing. From the Hall effect measurement, the carrier concentration and mobility are found to increase after annealing. The high carrier concentration and mobility also comply with structural and optical analysis. Best results are found for the film annealed at 400 °C deposited at 90 W. پرونده مقاله

        AbstractThe properties of L10-FePt nanoparticles can be improved in the presence of MgO and Ag interlayers in direct sputtering and annealing method, respectively. Such properties are crystal and compound ordering, nanostructure and crystal orientation. In this work, FePt nanoparticles in ferromagnetic L10-fct phase were synthesized using sputtering method on Ag and MgO layers. According to XRD analyses, the impact of the presence of these two kinds of interlayer on crystal structure and its orientation has been investigated. Furthermore, the effect of the presence of 10% Ag on these properties has been studied and their granular layer nanostructures were characterized through the FE-SEM analysis. The results show that the presence of Ag as nanocompound and interlayer is desirable on declining the transition temperature and controlling the size during annealing. The presence of MgO as a sublayer in direct synthesis leads to the formation of 10 nm monosize smaller nanoparticles. According to VSM analysis, MgO and Ag sublayers have increased the magnetic coercivity of the FePt nanoparticles by 3.4 times and 3.7 times, respectively. پرونده مقاله

        AbstractZirconium oxide thin films were grown successfully by thermal annealing of zirconium thin films deposited on quartz and silicon substrates by direct current magnetron sputtering technique. The structural and optical properties in relation to thermal annealing times were investigated. The X-ray diffraction patterns revealed that structure of films changes from amorphous to crystalline by increase of annealing times in range 60–240 min. The composition of films was determined by Rutherford back scattering spectroscopy. Atomic force microscopy results exhibited that surface morphology and roughness of films depend on the annealing time. The refractive index of the films was calculated using Swanepoel’s method. The optical band gap energy of annealed films decreased from 5.50 to 5.34 eV with increasing thermal annealing time. پرونده مقاله

        AbstractCadmium telluride (CdTe) is a p-type II-VI compound semiconductor, which is an active component for producing photovoltaic solar cells in the form of thin films, due to its desirable physical properties. In this study, CdTe film was deposited using the radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering system onto a glass substrate. To improve the properties of the CdTe film, effects of two experimental parameters of deposition time and RF power were investigated on the physical properties of the CdTe films. X-ray Diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and spectrophotometer were used to study the structural, morphological and optical properties of the CdTe samples grown at different experimental conditions, respectively. Our results suggest that film properties strongly depend on the experimental parameters and by optimizing these parameters, it is possible to tune the desired structural, morphological and optical properties. From XRD data, it is found that increasing the deposition time and RF power leads to increasing the crystallinity as well as the crystal sizes of the grown film, and all the films represent zinc blende cubic structure. Roughness values given from AFM images suggest increasing the roughness of the CdTe films by increasing the RF power and deposition times. Finally, optical investigations reveal increasing the film band gaps by increasing the RF power and the deposition time. پرونده مقاله

        AbstractIn this study, the effect of oxygen content on a thin copper oxide layer deposited on BK7 and steel substrates by DC magnetron sputtering were investigated. Argon as working gas with impurity of 99.9% and various oxygen ratios were used to sputter a pure Cu cathode target in a cylindrical geometry. The produced samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and spectrophotometry techniques. The films thickness was measured by profilometer facility. The results show that by increasing oxygen content in the working gas the sputtering rate reduces. Moreover, the type of oxide phase (Cu2O or CuO) in the synthesized layer and consequently its optical properties dramatically depend on Ar/O2 ratio in the working gas. پرونده مقاله

        AbstractPhysical properties of transparent and conducting indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films grown by radiofrequency (RF) magnetron sputtering are studied systematically by changing deposition time. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) data indicate polycrystalline thin films with grain orientations predominantly along the (2 2 2) and (4 0 0) directions. From atomic force microscopy (AFM) it is found that by increasing the deposition time, the roughness of the film increases. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images show a network of a high-porosity interconnected nanoparticles, which approximately have a pore size ranging between 20 and 30 nm. Optical measurements suggest an average transmission of 80 % for the ITO films. Sheet resistances are investigated using four-point probes, which imply that by increasing the film thickness the resistivities of the films decrease to 2.43 × 10−5 Ω cm. پرونده مقاله

        AbstractThe study focused on the production of zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films as a dielectric material for use in metal–insulator–semiconductor capacitors. The objective of this study has demonstrated the frequency dependence of conductivity and capacity. Zinc oxide (ZnO) was thin films deposited by a silicon wavelength sputteringmagnetron cathode sputtering. The capacitive properties of ZnO zinc oxide were studied at room temperature. The frequency dependence of the conductivity, capacitance and the measured current–voltage (I–V) characteristics of ZnO zinc oxide thin films were studied in the frequency range from 5 kHz to 13 MHz. It is shown that the conductivity is total. Indeed, the measurement of the conductivity in alternating regime obeys the Arrhenius equation. In addition, the measured I–V characteristics of the structures studied at 10 kHz and 10 MHz clearly revealed areas of accumulation, depletion and inversion in the plots. It has been observed that AC conductivity and capacity in the ZnO thin films (ZnO) are frequency dependent. This dependence indicates that the conduction is thermally activated and maintains the correlated barrier of the charge carrier on the localized states as a function of the experimental data. The FBAR (expand) devices with the ZnO films exhibited a pronounced resonance peak centered at 537 MHz with a k2 coupling coefficient of 7%. It found therefore that the impedance matching of the FBAR could be easily achieved simply by controlling the resonance the resonator. پرونده مقاله

In the first step, nickel films were deposited on quartz substrates by DC magnetron sputtering technique. Then, the plasma oxidation of nickel films was used for preparation of nickel oxide. The effect of DC plasma power and treatment time on the structural, morphological and optical properties of the NiO films were investigated by different analyses. XRD results indicated that the plasma powers effectively influenced the structure of films, and the best crystallinity was obtained for plasma power of 15 w and treatment time of 20 min. The XPS, RBS and EDS analysis confirmed the presence of Ni and O elements. The FESEM and AFM images showed a granular structure with spherical shapes of grains.

The Al-N bond information of deposited films on silicon substrates was identified by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. FTIR results confirmed the formation of AlN films in prepared samples. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed that the surface of films was smooth with low values of roughness. The low values of roughness can be caused the low acoustic loss in AlN films, which is interesting for applications in electro-acoustic devices. پرونده مقاله

The influenceof annealing time on structural, morphological and optical properties of the prepared films wasinvestigated by different analysis including X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy(AFM) and spectrophotometry. The XRD patterns showed that upon thermal annealing the Crfilms transformed to (α-Cr2O3) and the annealing time has a profound effect on crystallinestructure of chromium oxide films. According to AFM results, the films surface morphologieswere strongly dependent on annealing time and an increase in annealing time led to an increasein the grain size as well as in the surface roughness. The transmittance of the as deposited filmwas found very low and it improved after annealing. پرونده مقاله

        In the present work, cupric oxide (CuO) films were obtained through thermal annealing of the copper (Cu) films deposited on quartz substrates by DC magnetron sputtering method. The annealing was performed in air atmosphere for different times ranging from 60-240 min at temperature of 400 ºC. The influence of annealing times on structural and morphological properties of the films was investigated by different analyses. The XRD results showed that the as-deposited film was Cu, while those annealed at different times were composed of CuO. By increasing annealing times up to 180 min, the intensity of CuO diffraction peaks increased and further enhancement of annealing times led to decrease of the crystallinity. Also, the AFM images of the films conformed the dependence of surface morphology to annealing times. پرونده مقاله

        Nickel oxide (NiO) thin film is metal oxide that has attracted much attention in recent years due to its environment friendliness. In addition, by doping impurities such as copper (Cu) in NiO films the properties of prepared films can be changed. In this study, Cu:NiO thin films were deposited on silicon substrates by RF reactive magnetron sputtering. Then the deposited films were annealed at different temperatures of 200-600 °C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results showed that all the prepared films were amorphous and the structural properties of films didn’t vary by annealing temperature. Also, atomic force microscopy (AFM) images demonstrated that the surface morphology of the films was affected by annealing temperature. The root mean square (Rms) roughness and average roughness (Ra) values were obtained from AFM observations. FTIR analysis shows the peaks in the wavenumber of 528 cm-1 and 742 cm-1 which are related to Ni-O stretching mode and Cu-O bond bending vibrations. پرونده مقاله

        Nanostructured molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) films as environmental friendly materials can be used in various filed such as electrochemical energy storage devices, rechargeable batteries and gas sensors. In this work, nanostructured MoO3 thin films were successfully grown on quartz substrates by two-step method. In the first step, molybdenum films were deposited on quartz substrates by DC magnetron sputtering technique. Then the plasma oxidation of molybdenum films was used to prepare molybdenum oxide. The effect of plasma oxidation power and thermal annealing on the structural, morphological and optical properties of the MoO3 films were investigated by different analysis including XRD, AFM, RBS and spectrophotometry. XRD results indicated that the plasma powers effectively influenced the structure of films. The RBS analysis confirmed the presence of Mo and O elements. The AFM images showed that an increment of plasma power leads to decrease the roughness of films and annealing effectively changed the morphology of films. Furthermore, the optical transmittance decreases by increment of the plasma oxidation powers. پرونده مقاله

        In this work, the bilayer NiO/Fe thin films compared with single-layer Fe film were deposited on Si (100) substrate using the sputtering technique at deposition angles of 0° and 31.5°. Structure, the static magnetic properties, and the temperature dependence of the dynamic magnetic properties in the range from 300 K to 420 K have been investigated. The results show that the nanocrystalline BCC phase of Fe with the average crystallite size of 11-12 nm and (110) preferred orientation is formed during the deposition process. The resonance frequency is found to rise from 1.03 GHz to 1.13 GHz by employing the NiO sublayer for the typically deposited Fe film. Moreover, the resonance frequency increases for the NiO/Fe films from 1.13 GHz to 1.67 GHz as the deposition angle increases from 0° and 31.5° as a result of the increase in the magnetic anisotropy from 16 Oe to 45 Oe. The permeability values decrease for both as-deposited films with increasing temperature; however, the higher values of the permeability are observed for the film obtained at a deposition angle of 31.5°. پرونده مقاله

        In industrial applications, most materials are exposed to wear and friction because multiple conditions are used. However, the tribological properties of these materials can be improved with different techniques. One such technique that improves the frictional property of a surface is the use of self-lubricating coatings. In this study, multicomponent coatings of nominal composition Cu-Ni3Al-MoS2 have been sputter from the target using the best sputtering condition to get a good morphology and microstructure of the coating. The morphology and micro structure of the coatings were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy depressive spectroscopy (EDS). The measured microhardness of this coating was 380 HV over 25 g load. Tribological properties of Cu-Ni3Al-MoS2 coatings were investigated using ball-on-disk (BOD) tribometer at atmospheric condition of room temperature. These composite coatings showed a good morphology and adhesion of the coating to the substrate, also it had acceptable friction coefficient and higher wear resistance, because it has hard matrix containing Cu-Ni3Al and MoS2 Nano particles. پرونده مقاله

        Self-lubricant coatings are among the newly improved type of coatings to reduce the coefficient of friction and protect the substrate in various conditions. Magnetron sputtering is the best technology to fabricate coatings with good morphology. In this paper, the tribological properties of magnetron sputtered Ni3Al-MoS2 coating on 4340 steel are reported. For this purpose, five tablets of Ni3Al-30 wt.% MoS2 were prepared as the target material and were placed in a copper holder. At last, we have sputtered from the target using the best sputtering condition to get a good morphology and microstructure of the coating. The morphology and microstructure of the coatings were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The tribological properties of Ni3Al-MoS2 coating were investigated using a ball-on-disc tribometer at atmospheric conditions at room temperature. SEM was used to examine the morphology of the wear track after the ball-on-disc test. The Ni3Al-MoS2 composite coating showed lower frictions coefficient and higher wear resistance because of the hard Ni3Al matrix and soft MoS2 particles. پرونده مقاله

        Magnesium alloys as biodegradable materials can be used in body as an implant materials but since they have poor corrosion resistance, it is required to decrease their corrosion rate by biocompatible coatings. In this study, hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings in the presence of an intermediate layer of ZrN as a biocompatible material, deposited on AZ91 magnesium alloy by ion beam sputtering method at 300 °C temperature and at different times 180, 240, 300, 360 and 420 min. Then changes in corrosion resistance of samples in Ringer's solution as a solution similar to the human body was evaluated in two ways, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). To investigate the causes of the destruction of the samples, the surface of samples was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that because of porous coatings created, the corrosion potential of the samples was about +55mV higher than the uncoated substrate that by changing the deposition time, was not observed the significant change But with increasing deposition time to 360 min, corrosion current decreased which represents an increase of corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy in body solution. However, a further increase in deposition time to 420 min, due to increase thickness and stress in the layer, the corrosion resistance of the samples was reduced. The results of the EIS confirm the corrosion behavior of the polarization method, too.    پرونده مقاله
