Resistive switching behavior in ZnO:Ca thin films deposited by a pulsed laser deposition technique

Nanoscopic switching behavior of epitaxial SrBi2Ta2O9 films deposited by pulsed laser deposition

Magnetic anisotropy and field switching in cobalt ferrite thin films deposited by pulsed laser ablation

We report the observation of contrasting magnetic behavior in cobalt ferrite CFO thin films deposited on single crystalline magnesium oxide MgO and strontium titanate STO . Epitaxial films on MgO 100 with a lattice mismatch of 0.35% showed out-of-plane anisotropy whereas the films on STO 100 with a lattice mismatch of 7.4% displayed in-plane anisotropy. Stress anisotropy calculated from angle-d...

Investigation of resistive switching in anodized titanium dioxide thin films

In this work, TiO2 nanostructures were grown on titanium thin films by electrochemical anodizing method. The bipolar resistive switching effect has been observed in Pt/TiO2/Ti device. Resistive switching characteristics indicated the TiO2 nanotubes are one of the potential materials for nonvolatile memory applications.  Increasing anodizing duration will increase nanotube lengths which itself c...

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...
