    Size control of Si nanocrystals by two-step rapid thermal annealing of sputtered Si-rich oxide/SiO2 superlattice

    Controllable size of silicon (Si) nanocrystals can be achieved by a two-step rapid thermal annealing technique consisting of rapid annealing at 1000°C in nitrogen ambient and rapid oxidation at 600–800°C of a ...

    Enhanced photosensitivity in sol–gel derived 20GeO2:80SiO2 thin films

    We investigate the photosensitivity of binary 20GeO2:80SiO2 (germanosilicate) inorganic films. The samples have been fabricated by the sol–gel spin-coating method and the densification has been performed by rapid...

    Conductivity drop and crystallites redistribution in gold film

    Electrical conductivity of Au film deposited on Si(100), Si(111) and BK7 glass substrates, ranging from 20 nm to 1000 nm, was measured. Conductivity drop and a decrease of averaged crystallite size are observe...
