Wafer level integration of epitaxial piezoelectric thin films for novel NEMS, MEMS and MOEMS applications

Dekkers M., Solmates BV, NL

It is well known that Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) is a very flexible and versatile technique allowing fast optimization of new and complex material thin films. The unique features of PLD allow for the integration [...]

Nanocomposite dodecylsulfate-modified Mg-Al layered double hydroxide thin films deposited via laser technique

Vlad A., Birjega R., Matei A., Dumitru M., Dinescu M., Zavoianu R., Pavel O.D., Corobea M.C., National Institute for Lasers, Plasma and Radiation Physics, Romania, RO

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), also known as hydrotalcites or anionic clays having a brucite-like structure are a class of host-guest materials, which can be described by the formula [M2+1-xM3+x(OH)2]x+(An-)x/n•mH2O where M2+ and M3+ are divalent [...]

Pulsed Laser Deposition: From the Laboratory to the Industry

Kuzanyan A.A., Kuzanyan A.S., Kuzanyan A.A., Kuzanyan A.S., Institute for Physical Research, Armenian Academy of Science, AM

Simple and inexpensive methods of obtaining large area uniform in thickness and composition thin films on large and very large substrates through pulsed laser deposition (PLD) have been proposed. Also a method of creating a [...]

Pulsed Laser Deposition of Carbon Nanomaterials

Mozet W.T., Tse S.D., Kear B., Chhowalla M., Cheong S-W, Rutgers University, US

Nanostructured graphite and few-layer graphene (FLG) have been grown on copper and silicon substrates via pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Our PLD setup utilizes a high power Nd:YAG laser (266 and 532 nm) to ablate a [...]

Theory and Experiments on Periodic Lattice Distortions that Explain 1D Conductivity along the CuO2 Plane Ab And A-B Diagonals in YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) 50 nm Film with a 24 DEG Grain Boundary (Gb)

Sahibudeen H.S., Navacerrada M.A., Acrivos J.V., San Jose State University, US

Self consistent field (SCF) calculations carried out at San José State University (using MOLECOLE Linux codes) for a nano-particle of 18 molecules of T’-Nd2CuO4 explain the dxy symmetry for preferred superconductivity in the ab plane. [...]
