a-Si:H i-layers were deposited at different substrate temperatures and plasma excitation frequencies, while the other deposition parameters were kept constant. These layers were characterised by measuring the intrinsic mechanical stress and the defect dens ...
This paper describes a detailed study of the behavior of the parallel spring stage having four circular flexure hinges of very thin cross-sections manufactured by wire electro-discharge machining. The state of the art recalls the abundant literature publis ...
We used the novel experimental technique of photoemission spectromicroscopy to investigate the active area of SnO(x) thin films for gas sensors, deposited by dc sputtering. First, we analyzed the degree of oxidation and the homogeneity of as-deposited film ...
The texture of sputter deposited PbTiO3 films could be turned from (100)- to (111)-orientation by adding a few nm thick TiO2 layer onto the textured Pt(111) substrate film. AES, XPS, and XPD measurements showed that such TiO2 films were epitaxially ordered ...
Laser direct writing of metal lines from solid metalorg. films coated on surfaces has been studied in three systems. Copper deposition from Cu(HCOO)2.2H2O was carried out at higher writing speeds than previously attained. Direct writing of iridium lines fr ...
The in-situ growth of PbZrxTi1-xO3 (PZT) and PbTiO3 (PT) thin films by reactive sputter deposition has been investigated for applications with silicon substrates. In-situ deposition from three simultaneously operating magnetron sources was applied. At the ...
We present measurements of critical currents and critical magnetic fields in cylindrical indium films. The most interesting result is that the ratio of the experimental critical current I(c1) to Silsbee's critical value I(c0) practically does not depend on ...
