Study of Al2O3/ZrO2 (5 nm/20nm) Nanolaminate Composite

Abstract: A nanolaminate consisting of alternate layers of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) (5 nm) and zirconium oxide (ZrO2) (20 nm) was deposited at an optimized oxygen partial pressure of 3×10 -2 mbar by pulsed laser deposition. The nanolaminate film was analysed using high temperature X-ray diffraction (HTXRD) to study phase transition and thermal expansion behaviour. The surface morphology was investigated using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). High temperature X-ray diffraction indicated the crystalliz… Show more

“…The broadening of each diffraction peak was measured and plotted as a function of the Bragg angle for the determination of the strain and particle size of a nanoscale Al 2 O 3 /ZrO 2 composite. 5 The broadening of XRD peaks arises from the size of the diffraction domain. The width of XRD peaks under a specific reflection angle is related to the size of the crystallite particle by the Scherrer equation phenomenon, which is used for crystallite size broadening and for the determination of grain size from broadened peaks.…”

“…ZrO 2 has been used in nanolaminates as one alternating component together with, e.g., Al 2 O 3 , [47][48][49][50] 57 Studies on nanolaminates or multilayered structures containing Co 3 O 4 as one of the constituents 58,59 as well as ALD-grown nanolaminates containing both Co 3 O 4 and ZrO 2 59 have so far been quite scarce. In the earlier study devoted to ZrO 2 -Co 3 O 4 nanocomposites grown by ALD using the same chemistry based on cobalt acetylacetonate, zirconium tetrachloride and ozone, 59 the deposition process for cobalt oxide was investigated and established, determining suitable evaporation temperature for Co(acac) 3 precursor, as well as by recording linear relationship between growing mass and the amount of deposition cycles.…”
