Electromechanical response of textured ferroelectric PZT thin film stacks
… piezoelectric response of PZT polycrystals via texture control. However, freestanding PZT films, in particular for MEMS, are comprised of several other films forming a stack. These additional layers serve as seeding (TiO2), buffer (SiO2), and conducting (Pt) layers with substantial thickness and …

Hafnium Nitride(x): Phase Composition, Microstructure, and Physical Properties of Epitaxial and Polycrystalline Layers
… ion-irradiation leads to dense HfNx layers with 111 texture, compressive in-plane stress, and smooth surfaces due to enhanced adatom surface mobilities and thus, lower electrical resistivity and higher hardness are obtained. For HfNx layers with 1.2 ≤ x ≤ 1.6, the correspondingly higher …

Analytical studies of corrosion and wear resistant CrN/NbN superlattice PVD coatings.
… -95 Volts. The coatings exhibited a preferred {111} texture, good adhesion properties and plastic hardness of 38 to 69 GPa. The microstructural and surface morphology properties of these coatings in the as deposited and corroded conditions have been investigated. The corrosion resistance of the …

Investigation Of Parallel Planar Defects And Texture Transformation In Electron Beam Evaporated Silver Thin Films
Texture transformation is a known phenomenon which occurs in face-centered cubic metal thin films. This phenomenon entails a transition of film texture from (111) in as-deposited films to (100) in post-annealed films depending on film thickness; thinner films maintain the as-deposited (111) texture …

Phenomenological study of Au and Pt nanowires grown in porous alumina scaffolds
… overgrown Au caps were single crystalline with (111) facets and textured along the [100] direction, while the Au nanowires in the pores were poly-crystalline with a [11 11] texture. Pt nanowires grown in pores were also polycrystalline and had a [111] texture, but the grain size was much smaller …

Zirconium nitride contacts for cadmium telluride solar cells
… surface of CdTe with a rock-salt structure and (111) texture. A 2-3 nm thick amorphous layer of ZrN was observed at the CdTe/ZrN interface. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) showed that Cd and Te were present in the amorphous layer and the Zr:N ratio was not 1, off stoichiometric ZrN. The low …

Development Of Transparent And Conducting Back Contacts On Cds/cdte Solar Cells For Photoelectrochemical Application
… ZnTe:Cu thin films with cubic phase having {111} texture orientation. All the back contact interface layers demonstrated better transparency in the infrared region on glass substrate. Formation of crystalline phase and texture orientation were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The …

The impact of multilayer periodicity on texture, morphology, chemical stability and machining performance of titanium aluminum nitride/chromium nitride thin films
… and constituent TiAlN and CrN films, on both [111] silicon substrates and WC-4wt% Co inserts with an ISO SPGN 120308 geometry. The effects of periodicity on grain structure, texture, surface morphology, and roughness were examined, with characterization performed using electron microscopy, …
