Radio frequency (RF) filters based on bulk acoustic wave resonances in piezoelectric thin films have become indispensable components in mobile communications. The currently used material, AlN, exhibits many excellent properties for this purpose. However, i ...
Aluminum zinc alloys constitute an important class of wrought alloys, the so-called 7000 series, and are also widely used as anti-corrosion coatings of steel sheets. They are also interesting from a more fundamental point of view because zinc, a hexagonal ...
Due to their high hardness, high melting point and high chemical stability, transition metal nitrides present a great interest for various applications. This work constitutes a contribution to the understanding of the properties of Nb based binary and tern ...
In the framework of this thesis molecular nanostructures have been engineered on surfaces and are characterized using a variety of techniques. Two types of molecules have been used: carbon nanotubes (CNT) and 4-[trans-2-(pyrid-4-yl-vinyl)] benzoic acid (PV ...
Aluminum rich oxynitride thin films were prepared using pulsed direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering from an Al95.5Cr2.5Si2 (at.%) target. Two series of films were deposited at 400 degrees C and 650 degrees C by changing the O-2/(O-2 + N-2) ratio in the ...
Strontium barium niobate (SrxBa1-xNb2O6, shortly SBN) is a solid solution system with tetragonal tungsten bronze crystal structure. It exhibits a ferroelectric phase with only one polar axis and a transition temperature depending on the Sr/Ba ratio. This t ...
The influence of oxygen content on the properties of cathodic arc-deposited AlCr(OxN1-x) coatings has been studied. All samples were prepared in a nitrogen-rich mixture of N-2 and O-2 at 550 degrees C using lateral rotating arc cathodes (LARC) technology t ...
By addition of Si to a binary transition metal nitride MN (e.g. TiN, ZrN, NbN, CrN), the hardness, thermal stability and chemical inertness of films have been considerably improved. The formation of a ternary M–Si–N ternary phase is possible under specific ...
We investigate the presence of secondary phases in La-doped Bi-2201 thin films grown by laser ablation. The cation ratios in the target material, the oxygen pressure, and the substrate temperature during the deposition are the main parameters determining t ...
