In the present contribution we assess the luminescent properties of amorphous europium titanium phosphate thin films. The films have been deposited by atomic layer deposition, using the precursor combinations Eu(thd)3 (thd ...

Ln2O3 thin films with optically active f-electrons (Ln = Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb) have been grown on Si(100) and soda lime glass substrates by atomic layer deposition (ALD) using Ln(thd)3 (Hthd = ...

Luminescent europium titanium oxides (EuxTiyOz) have been deposited as thin films by atomic layer deposition (ALD) in the temperature range 225 to 375 °C with control of the stoichiometry from pure TiO2 to pure Eu2O3, and ...

The ferroelectric and electro-optical properties of LiNbO3 make it an important material for current and future applications. It has also been suggested as a possible lead-free replacement for present PZT-devices. The ...

Thin films of complex alkali oxides are frequently investigated due to the large range of electric effects that are found in this class of materials. Their piezo- and ferroelectric properties also place them as sustainable ...

Thin films of sodium and potassium oxides have for the first time been deposited using atomic layer deposition. Sodium and potassium complexes of tert-butanol, trimethylsilanol and hexamethyldisilazide have been evaluated ...

Two distinguishable plasma modes in the O2–N2 radio frequency capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) used in remote plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) were observed. Optical emission spectroscopy and spectra ...

UV to visible and near-infrared converting thin films of YbVO4 have been deposited by atomic layer deposition, using the precursor combinations Yb(thd)3 (thd = 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedione) and O3, and VO(thd)2 and ...

Thin film of silicon is an interesting material for many technological applications in electronic industry and in energy harvesting technologies, but requires a method for controlled growth of thin films. The purpose of ...

Organic–inorganic hybrid materials are an emerging class of materials suitable for deposition by the molecular layer deposition (MLD) technique. Their toolbox is now expanded to include linkers of amino acids, which when ...
