This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work was motivated and focused on the growth mechanism, microstructures and interfaces of barium titanate, BaTiO3 (BTO), based epitaxial thin films. Transimission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution TEM (HRTEM), electron diffraction (ED) have been mainly employed in this study for microstructure investigations of BTO-based epitaxial thin films with the assistance of other materials characterization methods, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Nanoindentation testing, etc. As a basic studying model, epitaxial BTO films were first deposited on the (001) MgO substrate using RF magnetron sputtering to provide fundamental knowledge of the film growth for BTO based thin films. The epitaxial BTO films show a tetragonal crystal structure (a = 4.02 Å and c = 4.11 Å) with epitaxial nanodomains induced from the rough film/substrate interface due to the modification of the substrate surface characteristics (steps, terraces, and kinks) during the deposition process. Two new phases of - calculus [gamma]y (Ba10TiO26) and Hß (BaTi8O24) were formed on the MgO substrate using RF magnetron sputtering. The atomic structures of the two new phases were determined and examined. The [gamma]y phase has a monoclinic structure, Cm, a=16.49 Å̊̊, b=8.94 Å, c=3.94 Å, y=77°. The Hß phase has a monoclinic structure, Cm, a = 17.88̊Å̊, b = 7.21Å, c = 3.94 Å̊̊̊, y =82°. Both [gamma]y and Hß phases have four different oriented domains. The orientation relationship between domains and MgO substrate is discussed. Initail study shows that these new phases possess novel and interesting properties. The doped BTO films with different dopant (Sr2 and Zr4) fabricated using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) have been studied for doping effects, interface effects and film growth mechanism. The (Ba, Sr)TiO3 (BST) epitaxial films grown on 1.2° and 5.3° miscut substrates consist of lager commensurate domains, and correspondly show higher dielectric constant and dielectric tunability, and lower average modulus and hardness than those of the films grown on the 3.5° miscut substrate. The results suggest that the differences on the interfacial structure have a tremendous effect on the properties of the films. The investigation on epitaxial Ba(Zr, Ti)O3 (BZT) and 2% Mn doped Ba(Zr, Ti)O3 (Mn:BZT) thin films grown on MgO substrate revealed the formation of twin-coupled domains on the epilayer by sharing their {111}/{110} planes as common planes. The structure evolution from epilayer to nanopillars is accomplished by alternatively introducing {111} and {110} twin boundaries, resulting in gradual shrinking or enlarging of the lateral size of the epitaxial grains/twin coupled nanopillars. The formations of twin domains, sharing planes and structure transition mechasim have been discussed in detail. Eventually, the microstructures and layer interfaces of [Mn:BZT//Mn:BST]N multilayer films consisting of 2% Mn doped (Ba, Sr)TiO3 (Mn:BST) and Mn:BZT layers on MgO (001) substrates with various deposition rates, deposition period numbers N were studied to provide an integral view of the formation of multilayer films in BTO system. All the [Mn:BZT//Mn:BST]N multilayer films present epitaxial quality and induced {111}/{110} twin-coupled domains initially formed at different film thickness/layers. The film/substrate interface has an important role for the formation of twin domains and the proportion of twin domain structures in the entire films. The layer interfaces between Mn:BST and Mn:BZT with period compression and extension strains were observed and discussed. The microstructure evolution and structure-related nano-mechanical properties of the multilayer films have been systematically investigated.

This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wide variety of materials systems and deposition strategies have been developed to produce epitaxial and polycrystalline thin films. In particular, controlling the morphology and microstructure of metal films at the nanometer and/or micron scale has become crucial for applications such as giant magnetoresistive devices, contacts and diffusion barriers in integrated circuits and photovoltaics, and multilayer X-ray mirrors. This book, first published in 2001, focuses on the interactions between different mechanisms of microstructure evolution and film-growth conditions. Two sections of the volume, including a joint effort with Symposium R, Morphology and Dynamics of Crystal Surfaces in Molecular and Colloid Systems, highlight the fundamental mechanisms of epitaxial growth. Additional topics include: multilayers - stress in thin films; early stages of film growth - mechanical properties; texture in polycrystalline films; grain growth - barrier layers; and silicides and organic thin films - pulsed laser deposition.

This book was released on 2014-01-24 with total page 801 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first text to cover all aspects of solution processed functional oxide thin-films. Chemical Solution Deposition (CSD) comprises all solution based thin- film deposition techniques, which involve chemical reactions of precursors during the formation of the oxide films, i. e. sol-gel type routes, metallo-organic decomposition routes, hybrid routes, etc. While the development of sol-gel type processes for optical coatings on glass by silicon dioxide and titanium dioxide dates from the mid-20th century, the first CSD derived electronic oxide thin films, such as lead zirconate titanate, were prepared in the 1980’s. Since then CSD has emerged as a highly flexible and cost-effective technique for the fabrication of a very wide variety of functional oxide thin films. Application areas include, for example, integrated dielectric capacitors, ferroelectric random access memories, pyroelectric infrared detectors, piezoelectric micro-electromechanical systems, antireflective coatings, optical filters, conducting-, transparent conducting-, and superconducting layers, luminescent coatings, gas sensors, thin film solid-oxide fuel cells, and photoelectrocatalytic solar cells. In the appendix detailed “cooking recipes” for selected material systems are offered.
