Zinc oxide thin films have been obtained on bare and GaN buffer layer decorated Si (111) substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD), respectively. GaN buffer layer was achieved by a two-step method. The structure, surface morphology, composition, and optical properties of these thin films were investigated by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, infrared absorption s...

Barium titanate (BaTiO3) thin films are prepared by conventional 2-methoxy ethanol-based chemical solution deposition. We report highly c-axis-oriented BaTiO3 thin films grown on silicon substrates, coated with a lanthanum oxynitrate buffer layer of 8.9 nm. The influence of the intermediate buffer layer on the crystallization of BaTiO3 film is investigated. The annealing temperature and buffer ...

The great end-to-end delays are the major factor to influence the visual quality of real-time video across the Internet using TCP as transport layer protocol. In this paper, we present a video frame schedule scheme for rate adaptive real-time video transmission over TCP. The scheme schedules video frames between the application layer sender-buffer, the TCP sender-buffer and TCP receiver-buffer ...

High-quality ZnO films were grown on Si(1 0 0) substrates with low-temperature (LT) ZnO buffer layers by an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR)-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE). In order to investigate the optimized buffer layer temperature, ZnO buffer layers of about 1.1 mm were grown at different growth temperatures of 350, 450 and 550 1C, followed by identical high-temperature (HT) ZnO f...

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...
