AFM Studies of Platinum Silicide Thin Films on Silicon Grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition

PtSi ultra-thin films were grown on Si-wafer using pulsed laser deposition(PLD).The surface structure of these films was studied by atomic force microscopy(AFM).In addition ,the compositional structure of the PtSi as deter-mined from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)is discussed.First report of a possible growth mechanism is presented, on studying the variation of morphological features(i,e,roughness and size of crystallites)with annealing temperatures and the film thicknesses..

Spatially-Resolved Crystallization of Amorphous Silicon Films on the Glass Substrate by Multi-beam Laser Interference

Laser interference induced crystallization of amorphous silicon （a-Si） on the glass substrate was performed using a Q-switched Nd：YAG （yttrium aluminum garnet） laser. White light interferometer （WLI） and atomic force microscope （AFM） were used to characterize the morphology of the structured films, while X-ray diffraction （XRD）, combined with the AFM, was used to analyse the crystalline structure of the film. The experimental results show that the laser energy density above a certain threshold, in the range of 400-500 mJ/cm2,triggers the patterned crystallizations which take the form similar to the laser intensity distribution. For the patterned crystallization under multipulse exposure, a definite polycrystalline structure with individual phases was observed by XRD. The difference in feature form, e.g., deepened craters or heightened lines, is related to the laser energy density relative to the threshold of evaporation of the material.     

Assembly and Applications of Carbon Nanotube Thin Films

The ultimate goal of current research on carbon nanotubes （CNTs） is to make breakthroughs that advance nanotechnological applications of bulk CNT materials. Especially, there has been growing interest in CNT thin films because of their unique and usually enhanced properties and tremendous potential as components for use in nano-electronic and nano-mechanical device applications or as structural elements in various devices. If a synthetic or a post processing method can produce high yield of nanotube thin films, these structures will provide tremendous potential for fundamental research on these devices. This review will address the synthesis, the post processing and the device applications of self-assembled nanotube thin films.
