Book excerpt: This five-volume handbook focuses on processing techniques, characterization methods, and physical properties of thin films (thin layers of insulating, conducting, or semiconductor material). The editor has composed five separate, thematic volumes on thin films of metals, semimetals, glasses, ceramics, alloys, organics, diamonds, graphites, porous materials, noncrystalline solids, supramolecules, polymers, copolymers, biopolymers, composites, blends, activated carbons, intermetallics, chalcogenides, dyes, pigments, nanostructured materials, biomaterials, inorganic/polymer composites, organoceramics, metallocenes, disordered systems, liquid crystals, quasicrystals, and layered structures.Thin films is a field of the utmost importance in today's materials science, electrical engineering and applied solid state physics; with both research and industrial applications in microelectronics, computer manufacturing, and physical devices.Advanced, high-performance computers, high-definition TV, digital camcorders, sensitive broadband imaging systems, flat-panel displays, robotic systems, and medical electronics and diagnostics are but a few examples of miniaturized device technologies that depend the utilization of thin film materials. The Handbook of Thin Films Materials is a comprehensive reference focusing on processing techniques, characterization methods, and physical properties of these thin film materials.
Download or read book Non Crystalline Films for Device Structures written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2001-12-11 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physics of Thin Films is one of the longest running continuing series in thin film science, consisting of 25 volumes since 1963. The series contains quality studies of the properties of various thin films materials and systems. In order to be able to reflect the development of today's science and to cover all modern aspects of thin films, the series, starting with Volume 20, has moved beyond the basic physics of thin films. It now addresses the most important aspects of both inorganic and organic thin films, in both their theoretical and their technological aspects. Volume 29 consists of chapters pulled from Hari Singh Nalwa's forthcoming Handbook of Thin Film Materials (ISBN: 0-12-512908-4). The chapters were selected because they deal exclusively with amorphous film structures and because they have a common relevance to semiconductor, or electronic, devices and circuits. These are subjects not yet stressed in the Thin Films series.
Download or read book Surface Science of Ultrathin Metal Oxide Films written by J. Matharu and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The properties of metal oxide surfaces are key to their diverse technological applications. However, the semiconducting nature of metal oxides presents a problem - many surface science techniques are electron based and thus require samples to be conducting. As such, bulk crystal studies of metal oxides by techniques such as photoemission spectroscopy (PES) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) are limited to reduced surfaces. Alternatively, thin films of a metal oxide can be synthesised on a suitable conducting substrate that mimic the bulk crystal surface whilst having sufficient conducting character to use these techniques. CeO2 is an important material found in three-way catalysts that remove pollutants from the exhaust gas of modern automobiles. Key to this application is the ability of reduced ceria to store and release oxygen depending on the composition of the exhaust. The addition of noble metals such as Pd to the ceria surface greatly improves the efficiency of pollutant conversion evidenced by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) by reducing the ceria. Resonance photoemission spectroscopy (RESPES) has been used to investigate the eect of Pd on ceria CeO2-x(110) thin films grown on a Pt(111) substrate. RESPES is more surface specific than XPS and thus reveals more information on the surface layers of ceria films. TiO2(110) is the most studied metal oxide surface, and has a multitude of applications. Its chemistry with two of the most abundant chemical species - water (H2O) and oxygen (O2) - is thus very important. H2O has been shown to dissociate on TiO2 surfaces. TiO2 thin films grown on W(100) were used as model system to study the chemistry of the reaction between TiO2 and H2O, and subsequently the reaction of hydrated surfaces with O2 using XPS. STM was used to examine the morphology of TiO2(110) films grown on W(100)-(2 x 1)-O, changes with film thickness and methods of improving surface smoothness. The first detailed STM images showing row structure of TiO2(110) films grown on W are shown.
