  • Various substrates were compared for the investigation of the optical properties of ZnO thin films. ZnO thin films have been deposited on (100) p-type silicon substrates and (001) sapphire substrates by pulsed laser deposition technique using a Nd:YAG laser with the wavelength of 355 nm. Oxygen and nitrogen gases were used as ambient gases. Substrate temperatures were varied in the range of 200$^{\circ}C$ to 600$^{\circ}C$ at a fixed ambient gas pressure of 350 mTorr. ZnO films have been deposited on various substrates, such as Si and sapphire wafers. We have investigated substrate effect on the optical and structural properties of ZnO thin films using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence (PL).

  • ZnO thin films were grown at different plume-substrate angles by pulsed laser deposition(PLD). From the X-ray diffraction(XRD) result, all ZnO thin films were found to be well c-axis oriented and c-axis lattice constant approached the value of bulk ZnO as plume-substrate(P-S) angle decreased. The grain size of ZnO thin films measured by atomic force microscopy increased and the UV intensity of ZnO thin films investigated by photoluminescence increased as P-S angle decreased. It is found that the improvement of structural and optical properties mainly comes from the reduction of the flux of ablated species arriving on a substrate per a laser shot by tilting a substrate parallel to the plume propagation direction.

  • YBCO films were deposited with various thicknesses from 100nm to 1.6$\mu\textrm{m}$ on single crystal $SrTiO_3$ substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The effects of different deposition conditions, especially different deposition rates by means of changing the pulsed laser frequency up to 200Hz, on the J$_{c}$ value were studied. For YBCO film with the thickness of 200nm, the $J_{c}$ value of $2.1MA/\textrm{cm}^2$ has been achieved under the high deposition rate of 3.2nm/s (190nm/min). The $J_{c}$ can be maintained greater than $1M/\textrm{cm}^2$ with the thickness less than 1$\mu\textrm{m}$. The X-ray analysis was used to examine the texture, crystallization and surface quality. The SEM was employed to analyze the surface of YBCO, and it was shown the surface of YBCO film became rougher with increasing the thickness. There were many large singular outgrowths and networks of outgrowths on the surface of YBCO films which lowered the density of thick YBCO film. The outgrowth network was probably the a-axis YBCO corresponding to XRD $\theta$-2$\theta$scan and $\chi$-scan which were used to characterize a-axis orientation of YBCO film. The reason for J$_{c}$ declining with increasing the thickness was studied and discussed.sed.

  • $BiFeO_3$ (BFO), when forming a solid solution with $BaTiO_3$ (BTO), shows structural transformations over the entire compositional range, which not only gives a way to increase structural stability and electrical resistivity but also applies a means to have better ferromagnetic ordering. In this respect, we have prepared and studied 0.8 BFO-0.2 BTO thin films on Pt(111)/$TiO_2/SiO_2$/Si substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Various deposition parameters, such as deposition temperature and oxygen pressure, have been optimized to get better quality films. Based on the X-ray diffraction results, thin films were successfully deposited at the temperature of $700^{\circ}C$ and an oxygen partial pressure of 10mTorr and 330mTorr. The dielectric, ferroelectric, and magnetic properties have then been characterized. It was found that the films deposited under lower and higher oxygen pressure corresponded to lower leakage current. Magnetism measurement showed an induced ferromagnetism. The microstructures associated with the magnetic and dielectric properties of this mixed-perovskite solid solutions were observed by transmission electron microscopy, which revealed the existence of complicated ferroelectric domains, suggested that the weak spontaneous magnetization was closely associated with the decrease in the extent of rhombohedral distortion by a partial substitution of $BaTiO_3$ for $BiFeO_3$.

  • The effects of substrate temperatures and annealing temperatures on the microstructures and ferroelectric properties of PbZ $r_{0.52}$ $Ti_{0.48}$ $O_3$(PZT) thin fims prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) were investigated. For this purpose, the PZT films were deposited at various substrate temperatures (400~$600^{\circ}C$) with post annealing process in oxygen atmosphere. The single perovskite phase was formed at the deposition temperature of 500 to 55$0^{\circ}C$ without post annealing and the PZT films deposited below 50$0^{\circ}C$ formed the single phase with post annealing at $650^{\circ}C$. The grain size of the films increased and the grain boundary of the films was clearly defined as the substrate temperature increased from 400 to 55$0^{\circ}C$. The remnant polarization (Pr) and the coercive field (Ec) of the films deposited at 55$0^{\circ}C$ and annealed at $650^{\circ}C$ were 34.3 $\mu$C/c $m^2$and 60.2 kV/cm, respectively.y.y.
