At EMSL, a DOE scientific user facility at PNNL, Chambers and his colleagues are actively growing a variety of oxide film materials.

Not exact matches

The focus of this investigation is a hybrid material consisting of a thin nickel film on a vanadium oxide substrate; this hybrid material exhibits magnetic properties unlike any other magnetic material.

A composite thin film made of two different inorganic oxide materials significantly improves the performance of solar cells, as recently demonstrated by a joint team of researchers led by Professor Federico Rosei at the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS), and Dr. Riad Nechache from École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS), both in the Montreal Area (Canada).

Materials science and engineering postdoctoral researcher Hyungwoo Lee looks inside a thin film deposition system during oxide thin film structure growth.

Jonathan Petrie led the epitaxial synthesis of strained oxide materials and catalytic testing, and Tricia Meyer assisted thin film deposition using a technique that employs a high - power excimer laser to vaporize material and deposit it as high - quality thin films under precisely controlled conditions.

Many touch screens are made of layered thin (billionths of a meter thick) films of indium - tin oxide, an inorganic material that is electrically conductive, which allows electrical signals to travel from the «touch» to the edges of the display, where they are sensed by the device — as well as optically transparent.

The team has shown that its nickel oxide film is compatible with many different kinds of semiconductor materials, including silicon, indium phosphide, and cadmium telluride.

When applied to semiconducting materials such as silicon, the nickel oxide film prevents rust buildup and facilitates an important chemical process in the solar - driven production of fuels such as methane or hydrogen.

The cluster we report in this paper serves as an excellent solution precursor to make very smooth thin films of amorphous aluminum indium oxide, a semiconductor material that can be used in transparent thin - film transistors.»

The team of researchers from MIPT's Laboratory of Functional Materials and Devices for Nanoelectronics, with the participation of their colleagues from the University of Nebraska (USA) and the University of Lausanne (Switzerland), have for the first time experimentally demonstrated that polycrystalline alloyed films of hafnium and zirconium oxides with a thickness of just 2.5 nm (see image below) retain their ferroelectric properties.

They showed that the lithium ions form a thin film on the surface of the graphene oxide and then diffuse through defect sites — essentially gaps in the layers of the material — before settling below the bottom layer of the graphene oxide.

Quanxi Jia, working in the areas of superconductivity, magnetic materials and thin - films, has conducted pioneering research in complex oxide thin film growth and is a recognized leader in the field of electronic device fabrication.

Understanding how these properties change is critical to using them to improve technologies, and crystalline film growth using dopants is an ideal means of making model oxide materials.

The new perovskite film, with the formula SrxLa1 - xCrO3, (x up to 0.25), conducts electricity more effectively than the unmodified oxide and yet retains much of the transparency to visible light exhibited by the pure material.

The main film material is titanium oxide, which is substantially less toxic to work with than the silicon process.
