Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Layered thin film structures often have unusual properties which make them appealing in a wide range of applications. Fabrication of submicron and nanometer multilayers can produce metastable phases that many not be predicted from the bulk equilibrium phase diagrams. Understanding the growth, structure, stability and properties of multilayers, and controlling their microstructure through processing, are important in many applications. This book focuses on the relationship of structure and processing to the properties that are relevant to all researchers in the field of multilayers. Topics include: phase transformation and reaction kinetics; processing and growth; structural characterization; magnetic, electronic and optical properties; mechanical properties; X-ray optics; thin-film interfaces.

Book excerpt: Tremendous advances have been made in the use of silicides as contacts and interconnects in micro-electronic devices and as active layers in sensors. A flourish of novel fabrication concepts and characterization techniques has led to high-quality silicide devices and a better understanding of the electronic and micrometallurgical properties of their interfaces. However, the shrinking physical dimensions of ULSI devices beyond the deep submicron regime now poses new and serious materials challenges for the development of manufacturable silicide processes. Scientists and engineers from materials science, physics, chemistry, device, processing and other disciplines come together in this book to examine the current issues facing silicide thin-film applications. Topics include: silicide fundamentals - energetics and kinetics; processing of silicide thin films; ULSI issues; CVD silicides; semiconducting silicides; processing of germano-silicide thin films; silicides and analogs for IR detection; interfaces, surfaces and epitaxy; novel structures and techniques and properties of silicide thin films.

Download or read book Structure Property Relationships in Multilayered Thin Films written by Matthew Herbert and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In both academic and industrial locations, the study of the structure property relationships of multilayered thin films has become an area of significant interest for investigation and discovery. As layer-multiplying coextrusion continues to evolve into the nanoscale regime, new opportunities arise to discover unique properties controlled by interfacial or confinement induced phenomena. The first part of the thesis (Chapter 2) explores a series of isotactic polypropylene and nylon 6 blends with silsesquioxane (POSS) additives, which are layered to nanometer thicknesses within multilayered films, to test the effects of confinement upon polymer property modification. POSS has been previously shown to enhance the properties of polymer matrices in which the POSS molecules have been grafted to, or copolymerized within the chain, but there is a lack of understanding in melt-blend systems.The second and third parts of the thesis (Chapters 3 and 4), investigates various strategies to improving the gas barrier properties in multilayered polymer films. In Chapter 3, ultra-low glass transition temperature phosphate glasses (Pglass) are used as inorganic fillers within maleated polypropylene, with the goal of elongating the Pglass particles into high aspect ratio platelets upon biaxial orientation. In comparison to14previous work with a higher Tg Pglass, the newer Pglass was expected to possess improved drawing properties, yielding oriented films with higher aspect ratio platelets, and thus enhanced barrier properties. The Pglass, however, formed phase separated aggregates, resulting in the formation of voids upon drawing. In Chapter 3, a slightly different strategy was utilized to obtain improvements to film barrier properties, which involved the infusion of oxygen scavenging Palladium (Pd) nanoparticles into the polymer matrix. Infusion of as little as 4 x 10-5 vol.% Pd into multilayered films resulted in the reduction of oxygen permeability by 3-4 orders of magnitude. The combination of metal nanoparticles dispersed throughout the polymer free volume, with the added effect of nano-scale Pd films deposited at layer interfaces, has yielded thin, flexible and transparent multilayered films for potential applications such as flexible organic electronics encapsulation.

Download or read book Epitaxial Oxide Thin Films II Volume 401 written by James S. Speck and published by . This book was released on 1996-03-29 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our understanding and control of epitaxial oxide heterostructures has progressed along multiple frontiers including magnetic, dielectric, ferroelectric, and superconducting oxide materials. This has resulted in both independent rediscovery and the successful borrowing of ideas from ceramic science, solid-state physics, and semiconductor epitaxy. A new field of materials science has emerged which aims at the use of the intrinsic properties of various oxide materials in single-crystal thin-film form. Exploiting the potential of these materials, however, will only be possible if many fundamental and engineering questions can be answered. This book represents continued progress toward fulfilling that promise. Technical information on epitaxial oxide thin films from industry, academia and government laboratories is presented. Topics include: dielectrics; ferroelectrics; optics; superconductors; magnetics; magnetoresistance.
