Sputter deposition technology as a materials engineering

Sputter deposition is currently being widely used in the microelectronics industry for the production of silicon integrated circuits. Recently interest has been focused on sputter deposition as a new materials processing technique. The highly energetic sputtered atoms enhance crystal growth and/or sintering during film growth. This results in lowering of the growth temperature of high temperature materials including cubic diamonds. Single crystals of complex ceramics materials could be prepared by sputter deposition through epitaxial growth process. Atomically controlled deposition using multi-target sputter enables to make man-made superlattice including high-T _C superconductors of layered perovskite. At present sputter deposition is one of key materials technologies for the coming century.

On-chip Diamond MEMS Magnetic Sensing through Multifunctionalized Magnetostrictive Thin Film

Electrically integrable, high-sensitivity, and high-reliability magnetic sensors are not yet realized at high temperatures (500 °C). In this study, an integrated on-chip single-crystal diamond (SCD) micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) magnetic transducer is demonstrated by coupling SCD with a large magnetostrictive FeGa film. The FeGa film is multifunctionalized to actuate the resonator, self-sense the external magnetic field, and electrically readout the resonance signal. The on-chip SCD MEMS transducer shows a high sensitivity of 3.2 Hz mT⁻¹ from room temperature to 500 °C and a low noise level of 9.45 nT Hz^−1/2 up to 300 °C. The minimum fluctuation of the resonance frequency is 1.9 × 10⁻⁶ at room temperature and 2.3 × 10⁻⁶ at 300 °C. An SCD MEMS resonator array with parallel electric readout is subsequently achieved, thus providing a basis for the development of magnetic image sensors. The present study facilitates the development of highly integrated on-chip MEMS resonator transducers with high performance and high thermal stability.     

X‐ray diffraction (XRD)‐studies on the temperature dependent interface reactions on hafnium,zirconium, and nickel coated monocrystalline diamonds used in grinding segments for stone and concrete machining

Diamond impregnated metal matrix composites are the state of the art solution for the machining of mineral materials. The type of interface reactions between the metal matrix and diamond surface has an essential influence on the tool performance and durability. To improve the diamond retention, the diamonds can be coated by physical vapour deposition with metallic materials, which enforce interface reactions. Hence, this paper focuses on the investigation of the interfacial area on metal‐coated monocrystalline diamonds. Hafnium and zirconium, both known as carbide forming elements, are used as coating materials. The third coating, which is used to determine its catalytic influences when applied as a physical vapour deposition (PVD)‐layer, is nickel. Additionally, the coated diamond samples were heat‐treated to investigate the starting point of the formation of new phases. X‐ray diffraction‐analyses revealed the assumed carbide formation on hafnium and zirconium coated samples. The formation temperature was identified between 800 °C and 1000 °C for hafnium and zirconium coatings.

Essential Factors for Shock Compaction of Diamond Composites

Shock compaction experiments for some diamond composites were carried out, and the best consolidated compacts of diamond/SiC and diamond/TiC had relative densities of 95% and 96%, and microhardnesses of 51 ± 2.9 and 48.6 ± 4.8 GPa, respectively. For obtaining better compacts on the shock compaction of mixtures, the ratio of the constituent particle sizes and the properties of the constituent materials are considered, and then the starting conditions of the mixtures must be decided. Here, a simple model concerned with the influence of both the ratio of the constituent particle sizes and the thermal properties of the constituent materials on the shock compaction of mixtures is also presented.     

Chemical Preparation and Shock Wave Compression of Carbon Nitride Precursors

Two synthetic routes have been developed to produce high-molecular-weight organic precursors containing a high weight fraction of nitrogen. One of the precursors is a pyrolysis residue of melamine-formaldehyde resin. The second precursor is the byproduct of an unusual low-temperature combustion reaction of tetrazole and its sodium salt. These precursors have been shock compressed under typical conditions for diamond and wurtzite boron nitride synthesis in an attempt to recover a new ultrahard carbon nitride. The recovered material has been analyzed by X-ray diffraction, FTIR, and Raman microprobe analysis. Diamond is present in the recovered material. This diamond is extraordinarily well ordered relative to diamond shock synthesized from carbonaceous starting materials.
