Atomic Layer Deposition of Lanthanum-Based Ternary Oxides
(Electrochemical Society, 2009)Lanthanum-based ternary oxide \(La_xM_{2−x}O_3\) (M = Sc, Lu, or Y) films were deposited on HF-last Si substrates by atomic layer deposition. Both \(LaScO_3\) and \(LaLuO_3\) films are amorphous while the as-deposited ... -
Crystal Growth Kinetics of Boron Oxide Under Pressure
(American Institute of Physics, 1985)We have measured the crystal growth rate u of B2O3-I in the amorphous phase, as it varied over five orders of magnitude with changes in temperature and pressure. We eliminated the crystal nucleation barrier by seeding the ... -
Pulsed Excimer (KrF) Laser Melting of Amorphous and Crystalline Silicon Layers
(American Institute of Physics, 1985)We have investigated depth of melting as a function of pulse energy density in amorphous and crystalline silicon layers. The melting threshold for KrF laser pulses (lambda=0.249 µm, tau=24×10−9 s) in amorphous (7660-Å-thick) ... -
Tunable Nanometer Electrode Gaps by MeV Ion Irradiation
(American Institute of Physics, 2012)We report the use of MeV ion-irradiation-induced plastic deformation of amorphous materials to fabricate electrodes with nanometer-sized gaps. Plastic deformation of the amorphous metal \(\text{Pd}_{80}\text{Si}_{20}\) ...
