Pulsed Laser Deposition of Epitaxial Non-Doped PbTiO3 Thin Films from PbO–TiO2 Mosaic Targets

Pulsed Laser Deposition of Epitaxial Titanium Diboride Thin Films

Epitaxial titanium diboride thin films have been deposited on sapphire substrates by Pulsed Laser Ablation technique. Structural properties of the films have been studied during the growth by Reflection High Energy Electron Diffraction (RHEED) and ex-situ by means of X-ray diffraction techniques; both kinds of measurements indicate a good crystallographic orientation of the TiB 2 film both in p...

Pulsed Laser Deposition of Hydroxyapatite Thin Films

Pulsed laser deposition of VO2 thin films

High quality vanadium dioxide ~VO2! thin films have been successfully deposited by pulsed laser deposition without postannealing on ~0001! and ~101̄0! sapphire substrates. X-ray diffraction reveals that the films are highly oriented with ~010! planes parallel to the surface of the substrate. VO2 thin films on ~0001! and ~101̄0! substrates show semiconductor to metal transistions with electrical r...

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...

Epitaxial growth of Y-doped SrZrO3 films on MgO by pulsed laser deposition

Epitaxial thin films of Y-doped SrZrO3 have been grown on MgO~001! by pulsed laser deposition. The deposition process has been performed at temperatures of 1000–1200 °C and at an oxygen pressure of 1.5310 mbar. The samples are characterized by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry/channeling ~RBS/C! and x-ray diffraction ~XRD!. We found an epitaxial relationship of SrZrO3 (0k0) @101#iMgO ~001!...
