Secondary electron emission and photoemission studies on surface films of carbon nitride
نویسندگان
چکیده
The secondary electron emission yield of fullerene, graphite, and diamondlike carbon after low-energy N2 + ion bombardment was studied for antimultipactor applications. Nitrogen incorporation into the carbon thin films decreases their secondary emission yield, contrary to the hydrogen or oxygen effect. Carbon nitride surface textured to a nanometric scale had the property of hindering secondary electron emission. Valence bands obtained from photoemission spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation were correlated with secondary electron emission measurements. Multipactor threshold power for carbon nitride was 7.5 kW. © 2006 American Institute of Physics. DOI: 10.1063/1.2173307

Synthesis of Boron-Aluminum Nitride Thin Film by Chemical Vapour Deposition Using Gas Bubbler
Boron included aluminium nitride (B-AlN) thin films were synthesized on silicon (Si) substrates through chemical vapour deposition ( CVD ) at 773 K (500 °C). tert-buthylamine (tBuNH2) solution was used as nitrogen source and delivered through gas bubbler. B-AlN thin films were prepared on Si-100 substrates by varying gas mixture ratio of three precursors. The structural properties of the films ...

The surface and interfacial analysis of silicon oxide film on silicon substrate is particularly crucial in the nano-electronic devices. For this purpose, series of experiments have been demonstrated to grow oxide film on Si (111) substrate. Then these films have been used to study the structure of the film by using X-ray photo emission spectroscopy (XPS) technique. The obtained results indicate...

A modified cathodic arc technique has been used to deposit carbon nitride thin films directly on n Si substrates. Transmission Electron Microscopy showed that clusters of fullerene-like nanoparticles are embedded in the deposited material. Field emission in vacuum from as-grown films starts at an electric field strength of 3.8 V/μm. When the films were etched in an HF:NH4F solution for ten minu...

ZnO thin films were deposited on Si(400) substrates by e-beam evaporation technique, and then post-annealed at different annealing temperatures (200-800°C). Dependence of the crystallographic structure, nano-strain, chemical composition and surface physical Morphology of these layers on annealing temperature were studied. The crystallographic structure of films was studied using X-Ray Diffracti...
