Growth of (100) oriented diamond grains by the application of lateral temperature gradients across silicon substrates
Polycrystalline diamond films with a predominant (100) texture were deposited onto silicon substrates using hot-filament chemical vapor deposition. During film deposition, different temperature gradients were ...

Crystal field excitations in electron superconductors
We have measured the complete crystalline electric field (CEF) spectrum of Nd3+ in superconducting Nd1·85Ce0·15CuO4 and Nd2CuO3·7F0·3, and in the non-superconducting parent compound, Nd2CuO4, by neutron inelastic...

Use of Nd: YAG laser forin situ growth of thin films of Y1Ba2Cu3O7−δ
As-deposited superconducting films of Y1Ba2Cu3O7−δ with zero resistance at a temperature of ⋍ 80 K have been successfully grown using a Nd:YAG laser. A substrate temperature in the range 450–550°C was found most ...

Characterization of a-Si:H thin films prepared by dc glow discharge of silane
A dc glow discharge apparatus for preparing amorphous silicon films from silane gas is described. The films are characterized by electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, electrical conductivity and photocon...
