We report the epitaxial growth of high-quality μm-thick yttrium iron garnet (YIG) films on yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG) substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The effects of substrate temperature and oxygen pressure on composition, crystallinity, optical transmission and ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) linewidth have been investigated. An FMR linewidth as low as 1.75 mT at 6 GHz was achie...

Ž . We have combined some of the major positive advantages of laser-induced forward transfer LIFT and matrix-assisted Ž . pulsed laser evaporation MAPLE , to produce a novel excimer laser driven direct writing technique which has demonstrated the deposition in air and at room temperature and with sub-10 mm resolution of active and passive prototype circuit elements Ž on planar and nonplanar sub...

In this communication, we show the feasibility of the pulsed laser ablation technique to make very thin, uniform luminescent coatings on particulate systems. To deposit continuous particulate coatings, the laser-induced plume from the target comes in contact with an agitated bed of core particles ~size 1 mm!. The pressure and nature of the background gas ~inert or active! controls the cluster s...

Halide perovskite and silicon heterojunction solar cells present sensitive contact layers prone to damage during ITO deposition. We study the effect of pulsed laser deposition pressure on mitigation improved cell performance.

Excimer laser pulsed deposition was applied to the deposition of organic thin ®lms on sapphire and on glass. The thin ®lms were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), micro-Raman spectroscopy and ESCA. It was found that the properties of the ®lms were very close to that of the target materials. Strong photoluminescence was observed for both Alq3 and N,N 0-diphenyl-N,N 0-bis(3-methylphenyl)-(1,1 0...
