TL;DR: In this article, the dependence on composition of optical properties and photoinduced changes in thin films of AsxS100−x with x between 15 and 45 was investigated and it was suggested that the origin of these effects is attributable to transformations of AsS and S-S bonds in films containing an excess of chalcogen.

TL;DR: In this article, it was determined from thermal stability tests that the contribution to the carrier density made by the addition of tin was at most (3−4) × 1020 cm−3; i.e. the efficiency of generation of free carriers by the adding of tin is only a few tens of per cent.

TL;DR: In this paper, a first approximation model based on the concept of rapidly collapsing thermal spikes is proposed for the film-forming process and the layer properties observed by a first-approximation model.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that the hillock formation observed in the present case has been explained on the basis of thermal stress relaxation occuring by diffusion creep, with the additional effect of the high surface diffusion of silver atoms on an oxygen-covered silver surface.

TL;DR: In this paper, the elestic stiffness parameter E f (1−ν f ) and the thermal expansion coefficient αf were obtained for four different silicides (TiSi2, TaSi2 and MoSi2) and for two different nitrides (chemically vapor-deposited Nitrox Si3N4 and r.f. plasma SiN) from stress-temperature measurements on identical films deposited on two different substrate materials.

TL;DR: In this article, a rather comprehensive review is given of the electrical and photoelectrical transport properties of Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) built-up monolayers and multilayers.

TL;DR: In2O3: Sn films were prepared by an activated reactive evaporation technique developed for this purpose as mentioned in this paper, which was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction, electrical resistivity and measurements of transmittance as a function of wavelength.

TL;DR: A comparison of the properties of In2O3(Sn) films with those of transparent conducting films produced by other techniques is made in this paper, where a novel activated reactive evaporation technique is developed for use with resistively heated EVaporation sources.

TL;DR: In this paper, thin zinc telluride films were grown on amorphous substrates by the alternate evaporation of monolayers of zinc and tellurium with the aid of the ALO method, and they were characterized by a number of surface sensitive analysis techniques, by X-ray diffraction and by optical absorption.

TL;DR: The surface chemistry of InP substrates used for the fabrication of electronic devices (MIS structures) was examined by ESCA as discussed by the authors, where the effectiveness of several types of etchants and the features produced on the substrate surface were evaluated and discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a mass spectrometric investigation of the ionic and neutral species present during the deposition of a-Si: H using an r.f. glow discharge in silane (mixed with helium or hydrogen).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a highly collimated monochromatic X-ray beam to measure the diffraction from a single monolayer and from odd numbers (up to 11) of layers of manganese stearate (MnSt2).

TL;DR: In this article, thin Cu2−xSe thin films were evaporated and deposited on glass substrates by a vacuum evaporation method, and the films showed a low resistivity p-type conduction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the surface layer consists of the hard relatively coarse (a cross section of the order of 100 μm) injected particles in a soft matrix, which contribute to the hardening of the surface.

TL;DR: In this paper, the alloying reaction in a thin nickel film deposited on a GaAs substrate was investigated using microprobe Auger spectroscopy, reflection high energy electron diffraction and transmission electron diffusion.

TL;DR: In this article, a large volume microwave plasma generator was used for producing thin plasma-polymerized (PP) films as corrosion protection on metal substrates, which were tested in a simulated marine environment for periods of several weeks with no trace of corrosion.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of argon ion bombardment during the evaporation procedure was studied experimentally, and it was shown that the small amount incorporated into the film by the bombardment is shown to have no significant influence on the process.

TL;DR: In this article, the main IR absorption bands of Si x C 1− x H z and Ge xC 1−x H z films produced with an r.f. glow discharge were observed and assigned, and the influence of neighbouring atoms on the frequency of Si and CH bond stretching vibrations was determined.

TL;DR: In this article, single-phase CuInS 2 thin films were prepared by r.f. sputtering and the asdeposited films were p type with resistivities in the range 10 −1 −10 1 ω cm.

TL;DR: In this paper, the growth rate and crystalline structure of tin oxide layers doped with antimony were studied as functions of the deposition parameters, independent of substrate type, dopant concentration, and time deposition.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the work of the past several years at University College London in applying Langmuir films to integrated optical components, particularly planar waveguides.

TL;DR: In this article, the potential of photoresists based on monomolecular layers is described, where polymerization is controlled by the lattice imposed by aliphatic chains and the low dispersivity of the polymer obtained gives these resists a high contrast (γ = 1.5).

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of bias voltages on electrical properties such as the resistivity ϱ, the differential change in resistivity with respect to temperature dϱ/dT, the Hall coefficients and the superconductivity were studied in terms of the structural features of the films prepared.

TL;DR: In this article, the annealing properties of pure and antimony-doped tin oxide films were reported up to temperatures of approximately 400°C in various atmospheres and it was found that the chemisorption or desorption of oxygen, primarily from the grain boundaries, governs the changes in the electrical parameters of the films.

TL;DR: In this paper, optical absorption and emission spectroscopies were used for in situ investigations of process occuring in the plasma and at the electrode-gas interfaces which control the reactive sputter etching of indium targets and the reactive deposition of InN films in mixed Ar-N 2 glow discharges.

TL;DR: In this paper, the lateral charge transport has been observed in Langmuir multilayer films with a surface-active merocyanine dye by measuring the photoconduction in a gap cell configuration.

TL;DR: In this article, the preparation of Fe-Cu and Ni-Cu microlaminate composites by electron beam evaporation from two sources and alternating deposition onto a rotating substrate was dealt with.
