All the YBCO films have Tc around 91 K and Jc excess 2 MA/cm^2 at 77 K in zero field. XRD θ-2θscans show all the films have c-axis normal orientation. The FWHM (full width at half-maximum intensity) values of X-ray ω-scans of (005) reflection are 0.379°, 0.283°, and 0.543° for the YBCO thin films deposited with precursor solution concentrations of 1.52, 1.0, and 0.75 mol/L, respectively. With the concentration of the precursors decreasing, the thickness of the films decreases linearly. SEM micrographs show that porosities in the films become bigger with the precursor solution concentration decreasing. The big porosities in the film with the lowest concentration precursor deteriorate the superconducting property and make it have a wider superconducting transition and a lower Jc.展开更多

Cu-In precursors with an ideal total mole ratio of Cu to In of 0.92 were prepared by middle frequency alternating current magnetron sputtering with Cu-In alloy target, then CuInSe2 absorbers for solar cells were formed by selenization process in selenium atmosphere. Scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope were used respectively to observe the surface morphologies and determine the compositions of both Cu-In precursors and CuInSe2 thin films. Their microstructures were characterized by X-ray diffractometry and Raman spectroscope. The results show that Cu-In precursors are mainly composed of (Cu11In9) phase with In-rich solid solution. Stoichiometric CuInSe2 thin films with a homogeneous element distribution and single chalcopyrite phase can be synthesized from a segregated Cu-In precursor film with an ideal total mole ratio of Cu to In of 0.92. CuInSe2 thin film shows P-type conductivity and its resistivity reaches 1.2×103Ω·cm.展开更多

The thin films were deposited on soda-lime glass substrates using the Metal Organic Chemical Vapour Deposition (MOCVD) technique at the deposition temperature of 370°C and 390°C, respectively. The Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to determine the functional groups in the precursor, with stretching frequency for O-H, N-H, and C-H observed. The deposited films were characterized using UV-Visible Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Elemental diffraction X-ray (EDX), and X-ray Diffractometer (XRD). A direct bandgap of 3.15 eV and 3.18 eV was obtained from the film deposited at 370°C and 390°C, respectively, using the Envelope Method. In comparison, a bandgap of 3.19 eV and 3.21 eV was obtained using the absorption spectrum fitting (ASF) method. The SEM revealed that the film is homogeneous, dense, and compact, composed of cluster grains. The EDX confirmed the presence of Zinc, Nitrogen and Oxygen. The X-ray Diffraction indicated the polycrystalline nature of the film.展开更多

The precursor was processed in different ratios of the zinc acetate-ammonium acetate additives, and each combination was used to deposit a thin film using metalorganic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) method. The produced thin films were characterised using Rutherford backscattering (RBS) spectroscopy, uv-visible spectrometry, x-ray diffractometry, four point probe measurements and optical microscopy. The deposited thin films showed a fairly consistent zinc:oxygen:nitrogen ratio of 4.4:3.7:1, the film structures were quasicrystalline and the sheet resistivities were high, while other familiar characteristics like optical transmittance, bandgap, thermal stability, etc. were maintained in the grown films. Applications in device fabrication and active sensor devices were hence envisaged as the emergent potentials of the thin films.展开更多

The stacks were pretreated at different tem- peratures (200℃, 300 ℃, 350 ℃, and 400 ℃) for 0.5 h and then followed by sulfurization at 500℃ for 2 h.

Thin films of cobalt oxide were deposited on soda lime glass substrates through the pyrolysis (metal organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD)) of single solid source precursor, cobalt acetylacetonate, Co[C5H7O2]2 at a temperature of 420℃. The compositional characterization carried out by rutherford backscattering spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD), showed that the films have a stoichiometry of Co2O3 and an average thickness of 227±0.2 nm. A direct energy gap of 2,15±0.01 eV was calculated by the data obtained by optical absorption spectroscopy. The morphology of the films obtained by scanning electron microscopy, showed that the grains were continuous and uniformly distributed at various magnifications, while the average grain size was less than i micron for the deposited thin films of cobalt oxide.展开更多

This method needs no distillation and has the advantage of easy change of the Pb2+/Zr4+/Ti4+ stoichiometric. In the paper we also investigate PT seeds influence on ferroelectric properties, crystallographic structures and surface morphologies, and find the bottom/up PT seeds structure prompte PZT crystallization and have superior ferroeletric properties. The paper introduce a method to deduce and calculate lattice constant α by ‘least square method’, then the more accurate lattice constant a0 can be got from X-ray diffractometer (XRD) analysis data. We also discover that grain sizes of PZT film calculated from XRD data are much closed to those of AFM, and the film a0 is relatively small due to crushing stress.展开更多

XRD studies showed that the anodes are formed by solid solutions. The electrodes containing IrO<sub>2</sub> exhibit lower activity for the oxygen evolution reaction. The doping of the electrode surface with SnO<sub>2</sub> improves the catalytic properties of the anodes. However, it should be held in appropriate compositions, because the change in the atomic ratio of this element shows a marked effect on the stability of the oxides. Electrode Ti/Ir<sub>0.2</sub>Ti<sub>0.3</sub>Sn<sub>0.5</sub>O<sub>2</sub> has lower lifetime, i.e. 6 hours. The 20% decrease in the stoichiometric amount of SnO<sub>2</sub> increases the time to a value above 70 hours, as observed for Ti/Ir<sub>0.3</sub>Ti<sub>0.4</sub>Sn<sub>0.3</sub>O<sub>2</sub>. Electrode Ti/Ru<sub>0.3</sub>Ti<sub>0.4</sub>Sn<sub>0.3</sub>O<sub>2</sub> shows lifetime of 11 hours;therefore IrO<sub>2</sub> is more stable than RuO<sub>2</sub> under the conditions investigated. These results suggest that electrode Ti/Ir<sub>0.3</sub>Ti<sub>0.4</sub>Sn<sub>0.3</sub>O<sub>2</sub> is promising for different applications, such as water electrolysis, capacitors and organic electrosynthesis.展开更多
