IR laser co-pyrolysis of (CH3)2Te and (CH3)4Sn: Gas-phase formation and deposition of nanostructured SnTe

IR laser-induced CVD of β-Sn/SnSi-nanodisperse alloys from stannane–silane mixture

“…The presented results are an extension of our previous effort on (i) laser-induced gas-phase co-pyrolytic synthesis of inorganic compounds [21][22][23][24] and (ii) IR laser-dielectric breakdown-induced formation of Sn/Ge metastable films from gaseous stannane and germane [25].…”

UV Laser Deposition of SiS/Poly(thiacarbosilane) Composites and their Conversion to SiO/Poly(thiacarbosiloxane) Composites

“…We have previously shown that laser-induced codecomposition of metal and chalcogene progenitors, leading to gas-phase formation of metal and chalcogene clusters, is suitable for chemical vapor deposition of nanosized metal chalcogenides. [10,[18][19][20] Continuing our studies on laserinduced chemical vapor deposition of polythiene [6] and CS 2 /C 2 H 4 co-polymer, [8,9] we now report on ArF laser irradiation of gaseous carbon disulfide-silane mixtures and show that this process affords chemical vapor deposition of SiS-containing poly(thiacarbosilane)s. These materials are the first example of SiS/polymer composites.…”

Laser CVD of Nanodisperse Ge–Sn Alloys Obtained by Dielectric Breakdown of SnH4/GeH4 Mixtures

“…Another laser technique enabling kinetic rather than thermodynamic control of the process is IR laser-induced gas-phase codecomposition of two different molecules, [20,21] which is capable of simultaneously generating clusters of several (two or more different) metals that will interact in the gas phase to yield "mixed nanosized systems" and deposit as such from the gas phase. This process experiences very high heating and cooling rates, [22,23] occurs within the order of microseconds and is feasible for the formation of metastable structures.…”
