Results show that the Fe3o4 under-layer can accelerate the grain growth of cobalt ferrite films due to the phase transformation of the Fe3o4 under-layer at about 400℃-500℃. By intro- ducing the Fe3O4 under-layer, cobalt ferrite nanocrystalline thin films with high coercivity can be obtained at lower post-annealing temperatures.展开更多

By direct current(DC) magnetron process, Pd/Ag alloy ultra-thin films were deposited on the substrate to eliminate the hydrogen embrittlement of sensor based on pure Pd. Several samples with different thin film thicknesses were fabricated at different substrate temperatures and tested in the optical fiber hydrogen sensor setup. We do a series of experiments for obtaining optimum sputtering parameters, such as optimum sputtering temperature and thickness of Pd/Ag alloy film. The humidity effect and reliability experiment for the optical fiber hydrogen gas sensor are reported in detail. The testing results demonstrate the Pd/Ag alloy is a promising material for optical fiber hydrogen gas sensor.展开更多
