Nb-B-Al-O nanocomposite films with different power of Al2O3 were successfully deposited on the Si substrate via multi-target magnetron co-sputtering method. The influences of Al2O3's content on structure and properties of obtained nanocomposite films through controlling Al2O3's power were investigated. Increasing the power of Al2O3 can influence the bombarding energy and cause the momentum tran...

Electrostatic layer-by-layer assembly was the basis for the synthesis of multilayer nanorod/polymer composite films. Cationic and water-soluble CdSe nanorods (NRs) were synthesized and partnered with anionic polymers including poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) and two polythiophene-based photoactive polymers, sodium poly[2-(3-thienyl)-ethoxy-4-butylsulfonate (PTEBS) and poly[3-(potassium-6-...

Recently, the conjugated polymer – inorganic nanocomposites have been increasingly studied due to the potential applications of these advanced materials in developing optoelectronic devices. In this work nanocomposite materials thin films based on poly [2-methoxy-5-(2’-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene] (MEH-PPV) and nanocrystalline TiO2 (nc-TiO2) have been fabricated. The photoluminescenc...

Diamond-like carbon nanocomposite films with embedded silver nanoparticles are considered experimentally (spectroellipsometric characterization) and theoretically (modeling of optical properties). Metallic nanocomposite films were synthesized by reactive magnetron sputtering and were studied by transmission electron microscope (TEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM). The optical constants of th...

Oriented mesostructured surfactant-silica nanocomposite thin films with a 2D hexagonal mesostructure of cylindrical micelles were prepared by evaporation-induced self-assembly using two different nonionic Brij surfactants and studied by small-angle X-ray scattering in symmetric reflection (SRSAXS) and grazing incidence (GISAXS) geometries. A novel SRSAXS evaluation approach was applied that all...

Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane (POSS)–polyimide (PI) thin films were synthesized from pre-mixed solution of oxydianiline–pyromellitic dianhydryde (ODA–PMDA) and TriSilanolPhenyl (TSP) POSS. POSS– PI polymerization reaction kinetics was studied using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The POSS–PI films were then investigated by tensile tests, followed by surface morphology exa...

La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 0.5 : ZnO 0.5 nanocomposite thin films were deposited on c-cut sapphire substrates via pulsed laser deposition. The as-grown films were composed of fine grains of 20–50 nm size. The epitaxial orientation relationships between the La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 LSMO and the sapphire was 111 LSMO/ / 0003 Al2O3 and 112̄ LSMO/ / 101̄0 Al2O3. A low field magnetoresistance LFMR of 12% was achieved at an...

A semiconductor nanocrystal film is a unique class of nanocomposite, whose collective properties are determined by those of its constituents. Colloidal synthetic methods offer precise size control and finely tuned optical properties via quantum confinement, while recent improvements in charge transport through films have led to a variety of optoelectronic applications. However, understanding th...
