چکیده

electrical, structural and morphological properties of ni silicide films formed in ni(pt 4at.% )/si(100) and ni0.6si0.4(pt4at.% )/si(100) structures at various annealing temperatures ranging from 200 to 1000 oc were studied. the ni(pt) and ni0.6si0.4(pt) films with thickness of 15 and 25 nm were deposited by rf magnetron co-sputtering method, respectively.  the annealing process of the structures was performed by using a long time annealing (lta) procedure for 30 min. the samples were analyzed by four point probe sheet resistance (rs) measurement, x-ray diffraction (xrd) and atomic force microscopy (afm) techniques. it was found that the thermal stability as well as the surface morphology of “as-formed” ni silicide nanolayers depends on annealing temperature. ni silicide nanolayers formed in the ni0.6si0.4(pt)/si systems are more thermally stable as compared to those formed in the ni(pt)/si systems during lta procedure. it was also determined that the nisi phase with rs value of about 4 ω/□ is formed in a wide temperature range from 400 to 900 oc. indeed, the addition of si during the ni deposition restricts the agglomeration of nisi layer and retards phase formation of nisi2. according to afm morphological analysis, nisi layers formed in the ni0.6si0.4(pt)/si systems at high temperatures have low average surface roughness and can be used as a contact material in nanometric scale.

Enhanced Emission of Quantum System in Si-Ge Nanolayer Structure

It is very interesting that the enhanced peaks near 1150 and 1550 nm are observed in the photoluminescence (PL) spectra in the quantum system of Si-Ge nanolayer structure, which have the emission characteristics of a three-level system with quantum dots (QDs) pumping and emission of quasi-direct-gap band, in our experiment. In the preparing process of Si-Ge nanolayer structure by using a pulsed...

Magnetic and magneto-optic properties of sputtered Co/Ni multilayers

Magnetic and magneto-optic properties of sputtered Co/Ni multilayers" (1994). Roger Kirby Publications. Paper 17. We have investigated the magnetic and magneto-optic properties of Co/N multilayers deposited on Ag and Au buffer layers. The samples with Au buffer layers show perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, but those with Ag buffer layers do not. The. structure and degree of crystaIIine alignme...

Ferromagnetic resonance study of sputtered Co | Ni multilayers

We report on room temperature ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) studies of [t Co|2t Ni]×N sputtered films, where 0.1 ≤ t ≤ 0.6 nm. Two series of films were investigated: films with same number of Co|Ni bilayer repeats (N=12), and samples in which the overall magnetic layer thickness is kept constant at 3.6 nm (N=1.2/t). The FMR measurements were conducted with a high frequency broadband coplanar wa...

Structure of Sputtered Amorphous Zr-Hf-Si Alloys

Amorphous (Zr,Hf)37Si63 alloys were produced by sputtering. Their total structure factors were determined by X-ray diffraction. Using the methods of isomorphous substitution and Reverse Monte Carlo simulation, the partial pair correlation functions were obtained. The results were compared with the partial functions of amorphous Ti40Si60. In the amorphous alloys under investigation the transitio...

Thermal Stability Study of Ni-Co Core-Shell Nanoparticles by in situ TEM

Bimetallic nanoalloys have been shown to have tunable chemical and physical properties by varying the composition, atomic ordering and size of clusters [1]. In fact, the surface structure, composition and segregation properties [2,3] of nanoalloys are crucial in determining chemical reactivity and activity [4,5]. A core-shell structure results from the chemical ordering of an atom forming a she...
