Thin Film Fabrication by Pulsed Laser Deposition from TiO2 Targets in O2, N2, He, or Ar for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Dorel F. Albu et al.

Summary: Active TiO2 semiconductor layers were synthesized using pulsed laser deposition under different gas atmospheres, and the morphological and structural characteristics of the TiO2 nanostructures were investigated. It was found that the gas nature played a key role in the deposited film's architecture and overall performance. The photovoltaic structures based on TiO2 coatings grown in He exhibited the best electro-optical performance.

Direct-ARPES and STM Investigation of FeSe Thin Film Growth by Nd:YAG Laser

Sandeep Kumar Chaluvadi et al.

Summary: The study presented results of epitaxial FeSe thin films grown on CaF2 substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and analyzed using advanced surface analysis techniques. By optimizing growth protocols, atomic flat terraces were achieved, allowing for high-resolution surface analysis using scanning tunnelling microscopy, synchrotron radiation X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The controlled growth of quantum materials with volatile elements enables fine surface analysis and opens avenues for the development of prospective devices.

Surface Topography of Si/TiO2 Stacked Layers on Silicon Substrate Deposited by KrF Excimer Laser Ablation

Calin Constantin Moise et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of the distance between target and substrate on the surface topography of deposited thin films inside a laser ablation equipment. The analysis considered the previous topography of the underneath surface for each consecutive deposition, and characterized the buried oxide layer using complementary techniques such as ellipsometry, X-ray reflectometry, and X-ray diffraction.

Properties of Hafnium and Aluminium Silicates Coatings Obtained by PLD

Eduard N. Sirjita et al.

Summary: The deposition and characterization of hafnium silicate and aluminum silicate thin films using pulsed laser deposition technique in a controllable oxygen atmosphere were reported. The optimized parameters resulted in uniform layers with low roughness, and aluminum silicate layers showed better optical performance at high substrate temperatures. Additionally, aluminum silicate layers exhibited higher laser-induced damage threshold values compared to hafnium silicate.
