Fiber optic modulators were fabricated by coating optical fibers with electrode and piezoelectric ZnO layers. The techniques of piezoelectric fiber optic modulator (PFOM) fabrication are presented, and the microstructure and crystallographic texture of the ...
The microstructure and chemical composition of sputtered thin films are strongly correlated with the deposition conditions. In the present work, we report the investigation of the film composition by electron probe microanalysis and photoemission experimen ...
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 ...
All-fiber optical phase modulators were fabricated by coating standard telecommunication optical fibers with thin films of piezoelectric ZnO. Piezoelectric optical fiber coatings of PbZrxTi1-xO3(PZT) were also produced, and the actuation capability necessa ...
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 ...
Pb(Zr,Ti)03 thin films with compositions close to the morphotropic phase boundary deposited onto electroded Si substrates have potential for use in ferroelectric memories, sensors and micromechanical devices. The microstructures of such films prepared by i ...
