Crystallographically Orientated fcc Co Nanocrystals in Rutile TiO2 Thin Film Grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition

Li-rich Thin Film Cathode Prepared by Pulsed Laser Deposition

Li-rich layer-structured cathode thin films are prepared by pulsed laser deposition. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electrochemical testing in half battery cells are used to characterize crystal structure, surface morphology, chemical valence states and electrochemical performance of these thin films, resp...

Synthesis of Novel Thin-Film Materials by Pulsed Laser Deposition

Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is a conceptually and experimentally simple yet highly versatile tool for thin-film and multilayer research. Its advantages for the film growth of oxides and other chemically complex materials include stoichiometric transfer, growth from an energetic beam, reactive deposition, and inherent simplicity for the growth of multilayered structures. With the use of PLD, a...

Laser Performance of Yb-doped-Garnet Thin Films Grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition

Growth and planar-waveguide laser (PWL) performance of garnet-crystal-films are reported. Demonstration of 70% slope efficiency with >16.5W realized with Yb:YAG, along with the first Yb:GGG and Yb:YGG PWLs. Thickness and performance scaling will be discussed. OCIS codes: (310.0310) Thin films; (220.4610) Optical fabrication; (230.7390) Waveguides, planar; (130.0130) Integrated optics; (140.3380...

Semiconductor-insulator transition in VO2 (B) thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition

Creating high quality Ca:TiO2-B (CaTi5O11) and TiO2-B epitaxial thin films by pulsed laser deposition.

We demonstrate, in great detail, a completely waterless synthesis route to produce highly crystalline epitaxial thin films of TiO2-B and its more stable variant CaTi5O11, using pulsed laser deposition (PLD).
