Nanowire is a cylindrical nano-structure with nanometer dimensions. In this research, the studied nanowire was made from the magnetic triple Ni-Fe-Co alloy. We utilized ordered porous anodic aluminum oxide as a template for the nanowire deposition. The nanowire arrays were electrodeposited in the cylindrical pores of the oxide layer by AC potential in a simple sulfate bath. Then the relation ...

Introduction Silicon oxynitride is a flexible material for use as planar optical waveguides because by changing the composition ( O N ratio) the refractive index can be tuned from 1.46 to 2.0'. Several methods can be used for deposition: PECVD, LPCVD and sputtering. The advantages of PECVD are easy control of composition, high deposition rate and low stress. A disadvantage is the high hydrogen ...

For the first time, patterned growth of boron nitride nanotubes is achieved by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) at 1200 C using MgO, Ni, or Fe as the catalysts, and an Al2O3 diffusion barrier as underlayer. The as-grown BNNTs are clean, vertically aligned, and have high crystallinity. Near band-edge absorption ∼6.0 eV is detected, without significant sub-band absorption centers. Elect...

A comparative study of DC, RF and VHF excitation for the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) of intrinsic layers of a-Si:H is presented, with special emphasis on the effects of hydrogen dilution. Growth rates at comparable plasma power, for substrate temperatures between 100°C and 300°C and for various H2 dilution ratios are presented, along with optical bandgap, H content, and el...

In the study presented here a stochastic model predicting the deposition of variably shaped asbestos fibers in the human respiratory tract is introduced. Deposition calculations are commonly based on the concept of the aerodynamic diameter. Besides Brownian diffusion, inertial impaction, and sedimentation, also interception representing the capture of particles at the carinal ridges of single a...

Stopping the plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) once and maintaining the film in a vacuum for 30 s were performed. This was done several times during the formation of a film of i-layer microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H) used in thin-film silicon tandem solar cells. This process aimed to reduce defect regions which occur due to collision with neighboring grains as the film becomes...

Since the last years, Focused Ion Beam (FIB) has been growing in popularity as a microand nanofabrication tool, especially because it has shown exceptional capabilities and very high precision in both milling and depositing materials at the nanometer scale. Being a sputtering (physical) process, milling by FIB can be realized over a wide variety of materials. On the contrary, deposition involve...
