Nanostructured high valence silver oxide produced by pulsed laser deposition

Plume study by ion probe and morphology control during pulsed laser deposition of Sm1−xNdxNiO3

“…However a few works about the plume dynamics has been done [8][9][10]. Our findings join the previous results on the effect of the plume dynamics on the properties of the deposited film [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Among those properties, the films morphology was related to one of the most important plume parameter which is the plume stopping distance (R st ) [13,14,16,17].…”

Plasma dynamics study by fast imaging and Sm1−xNdxNiO3 thin film deposition

“…It is clear that further increasing laser fluence or decreasing the target-substrate distance, smooth and dense layers can be achieved. We note that several authors [28][29][30][31] have already reported the porous structure of films deposited at distances beyond the plasma plume stopping distance.…”

The effect of oxygen partial pressure on physical properties of nano‐crystalline silver oxide thin films deposited by RF magnetron sputtering

“…Her et al [6] incorporated silver oxide films into super resolution near field structures in optical memories. Thin films of silver oxide were deposited by several techniques such as thermal oxidation of silver films [7,8], thermal evaporation [9], pulsed laser deposition [10,11], sol-gel process [12], chemical vapour deposition [13], electro deposition [14], DC sputtering [15,16] and RF sputtering [17][18][19][20]. In the present work, RF magnetron deposition technique was employed for preparation of silver oxide films.…”
