The prepared films are characterized by x-ray diffraction, non-Rutherford back.scattering （non-RBS） spectroscopy, x- ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and photoluminescence spectrum. The results show that the Zn3N1 films start to transform to ZnO at 400℃ and the total nitrogen content decreases with the increasing annealing temperature. The p-type fihns are achieved at 500℃ with a low resistivity of 6.33Ω.cm and a high hole concentration of ＋8.82 × 10^17 cm-3, as well as a low level of carbon contamination, indicating that the substitutional nitrogen （No） is an effective acceptor in the ZnO：N film. The photoluminescence spectra show clear UV emissions and also indicate the presence of oxygen vacancy （Vo） defects in the ZnO：N films. The p-type doping mechanism is briefly discussed.展开更多

We demonstrate that the surface groups of DLC：N have a significant effect on the surface and structural properties of the film. The activity of PC12 cells depends on the particular type of surface functional groups of DLC：N films regardless of surface roughness and wettability. Our research offers a novel way for designing functionalized carbon films as tailorable substrates for biosensors and biomedical engineering applications.展开更多

The chemical compositions, crystallinity, and thermal conductivity of the as-grown films have been characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, and 3-omega method, respectively. Amorphous and polycrystalline Al2O3 and AlON thin films have been formed at 700 ℃ and 1000 ℃. The thermal conductivity results indicated that the effect of nitrogen doping on the thermal conductivity is determined by the competition of the increase of Al-N bonding and the suppression of crystallinity. A 67% enhancement in thermal conductivity has been achieved for the samples grown at 700 ℃, demonstrating that the nitrogen doping is an effective way to improve the thermal performance of polymer-assisted-deposited Al2O3 thin films at a relatively low growth temperature.展开更多
