Epitaxial La0.2Nd0.4Ca0.4MnO3 thin films have been deposited at 800°C on LaAlO3 substrate using pulsed laser deposition technique. The structural and magnetotransport properties of the films have been studied. The sharp peak in the temperature dependence of the resistance corresponding to metal-to-insulator transition (Tp) has been observed at a temperature of Tp=82 K, 97 K and 110 K for 0 Oe, 20...
In this paper we report synthesis of phase-pure highly resistive magnetoelectric BiFeO3 thin films on Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrate by using pulsed laser deposition technique. For the first time saturated ferroelectric hysteresis loop has been observed. It has confirmed the presence of ferroelectricity in BiFeO3 compound. The films exhibit dielectric anomaly near Neel temperature. This anomaly is related...
We report the influence of catalyst formulation and reaction temperature on the formation of carbon nanotube (CNT) thin films by the chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method. Thin films of CNTs were grown on Fe-Mo/Al2O3-coated silicon wafer by thermal decomposition of methane at different temperatures ranging from 800 to 1000°C. The electron microscopic investigations, SEM as well as HRTEM, of the...
Electronic and magnetic structures of (1 0 0) films of K and Cs, having thicknesses of one to seven layers, are calculated within the plane-wave projector augmented wave (PAW) formalism of the density functional theory (DFT), using both local spin density approximation (LSDA) and the PW91 generalized gradient approximation (GGA). Only a six-layer Cs film is found to have a ferromagnetic (FM) state...
BaWO4 doped with ZnO (2, 3, 5, 7 and 10 wt%) nanostructured films are prepared on quartz substrates by pulsed laser ablation. The films are post annealed at 900°C. GIXRD analysis of the post-annealed films reveal the change of orientation of scheelite tetragonal crystal growth from 1 1 2 reflection plane to 0 0 4 planes when doping concentration is more than 3 wt%. The AFM images show that film with...
Thin films of Se85 − xTe15Znx (x = 0, 2, 4, 6 and 10) glassy alloys have been deposited onto a chemically cleaned glass substrate by thermal evaporation technique under vacuum. The analysis of transmission spectra, measured at normal incidence, in the spectral range of 400–2500 nm helped us in the optical characterization of thin films under study. From the analysis of transmission spectra, the...
In this work, ZnO thin films have been prepared by spray pyrolysis deposition method on the glass substrates. The effect of deposition parameters, such as deposition rate, substrate temperature and solution volume has been studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) method, UV–Vis–NIR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electrical measurements. The XRD patterns indicate polycrystalline wurtzite...
The relationship between the fluorine doping level and the electrical, structural and optical properties of the SnO2:F films are investigated using the Hall effect measurement set-up in van der Pauw configuration, the XRD patterns, UV–vis spectrophotometry and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The X-ray diffraction patterns taken at room temperature show that the films are polycrystalline. The preferred...
We present the optical properties of rare earth (RE)-doped $$\hbox {Al}_2\hbox {O}_3$$ Al 2 O 3 thin films and discuss their possible use in applications like gate dielectric material and in coating industry. Aluminum oxide films doped with RE elements such as Ce, Nd, Gd, and Dy are synthesized on glass substrate using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis technique at $$400{^\circ }\hbox...
