Compilation on Synthesis, Characterization and Properties of Silicon and Boron Carbonitride Films

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a ternary boron carbonitride (BCxNy) method for the synthesis of silicon carbonitrides, which can potentially be used in wear and corrosion protection, high-temperature oxidation resistance, as a good moisture barrier for high temperature industrial as well as strategic applications.

Effects of rf power on chemical composition and surface roughness of glow discharge polymer films

TL;DR: In this paper, the growth mechanism of defects in glow discharge polymer (GDP) films was studied, and the results showed that, at low rf power, there is a larger probability for secondary polymerization and formation of multi-carbon C-H species in the plasma.

On the influence of bandstructure on transport properties of magnetic tunnel junctions with Co2Mn1−xFexSi single and multilayer electrode

Abstract: The transport properties of magnetic tunnel junctions with different (110)-textured Heusler alloy electrodes such as Co2MnSi, Co2FeSi or Co2Mn0.5Fe0.5Si, AlOx barrier, and Co–Fe counterelectrode are investigated. The bandstructure of Co2Mn1−xFexSi is predicted to show a systematic shift in the position of the Fermi energy EF through the gap in the minority density of states while the composition changes from Co2MnSi toward Co2FeSi. Although this shift is indirectly observed by x-ray photoemission spectroscopy, all junctions show a large spin polarization of around 70% at the Heusler alloy/Al–O interface and are characterized by a very similar temperature and bias voltage dependence of the tunnel magnetoresistance. This suggests that these transport properties of these junctions are dominated by inelastic excitations and not by the electronic bandstructure.

The affinity of Si-N and Si-C bonding in amorphous silicon carbon nitride (a-SiCN) thin film

TL;DR: In this paper, the bonding sensitivities of Si-N and Si-C bonds in the a-SiCN thin films were investigated experimentally and theoretically, and it was found that a sharp phase transition from the predominantly Si−C bonded structure to the Si−N bonded structure occurs during the deposition of SiCN thin film without and with N incorporation.
