Metal halide perovskite solar cells have made significant breakthroughs in power conversion efficiency and operational stability the last decade, thanks to advancement of deposition methods. Solution-based methods been intensively investigated deliver record efficiencies. On other hand, vapor deposition-based assisted were less studied early years but received more attention recently due their ...

Focused electron beam induced deposition (FEBID) is a flexible direct-write method to obtain defined structures with a high lateral resolution. In order to use this technique in application fields such as plasmonics, suitable precursors which allow the deposition of desired materials have to be identified. Well known for its plasmonic properties, silver represents an interesting candidate for F...

A combination of molecular dynamics simulations and experiments has been used to investigate the use of various low energy ion assisted vapor deposition approaches for controlling the interfacial structures of a model copper/tantalum multilayer system. Films were grown using argon ion beam assistance with either a fixed or modulated ion energy during metal deposition. The effect of sequential i...

Diamond crystal S and p01 ycrystal l i ne diamond fi lms have been depos i e y t h e microwave plasma ass i s t ed C V D method from C H / H mixtures. The i n: :oncentration of methane, the pressure, the temperatu$e, 'the to ta l flow ra t e and the microwave power were varied in large ranges. The morphology of the deposits were s tudied by op t i ca l and scanning e l ec t ron microscopy and t...

Three-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations of ion beam assisted deposition ~IBAD! are performed to determine the mechanisms of crystallographic texture selection during the IBAD of polycrystalline films. A face centered cubic bicrystal consisting of @111# and @110# oriented grains is grown while an ion beam bombards the growing film at normal incidence. As the film grows, the grain bounda...
