EFFECT OF SURFACE ENERGY ON THE GROWTH OF DIAMOND-LIKE CARBON/AMORPHOUS SILICON FILMS ON VARIOUS SUBSTRATES

Diamond-like carbon/amorphous silicon bilayer films were deposited on SiO₂, Ge, and Ta₂O₅ substrates using a pulsed filtered cathodic arc (PFCA) system. Amorphous silicon (a-Si) layer was firstly deposited on three substrates using DC magnetron sputtering, then diamond-like carbon (DLC) film was deposited on a-Si layer via pulsed filtered cathodic arc. The thicknesses of a-Si layer and DLC film as monitored by in-situ ellipsometry during the film deposition were 7 and 10 nm, respectively. The surface energy of SiO₂, Ge, and Ta₂O₅ substrates was determined by measuring the contact angle of water on these substrates. It was found that the contact angles of water on SiO₂, Ge, and Ta₂O₅ substrates were 53°, 63°, and 75°, respectively. This result indicates that SiO₂ has the highest surface energy while Ta₂O₅ has the lowest surface energy. The thickness of the a-Si layer and DLC film was determined from the cross-section transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images. The thinnest a-Si layer of 5.64 nm was obtained from SiO₂ substrate which has the highest surface energy. The thickest a-Si layer of 6.97 nm was obtained from Ta₂O₅ corresponding to the lowest surface energy. This study shows that the thickness of the growth film strongly depends on the surface energy of the substrate. However, the DLC films deposited on each a-Si layer of three substrates have the same thickness approximately of 9.9 nm, because all of them were deposited on a-Si layers having the same surface energy.     

Optical transition process in AgOx super-resolution near-field structure

A sandwiched 15 nm AgO_x thin film of the super‐resolution, near‐field optical disk was studied using a confocal Z‐scan system. Nonlinear optical properties of quartz glass/ZnS–SiO₂ (170 nm)/AgO_x (15 nm)/ZnS–SiO₂ (40 nm) were measured using a Q‐switch Nd : YAG pulse laser of wavelength 532 nm, pulse width 0.7 ns, and 15.79 kHz repetition rate. Transmittance and reflectance of the sandwiched AgO_x thin film show important optical responses at the focused position of Z‐scan. The dissociation processes of AgO_x, recombination of the silver and oxygen, and the resonance of the localized surface plasmon of the nano‐composites of the AgO_x thin film are correlated to transmittance and reflectance at the focused position of the Z‐scan for different input laser powers. An irreversible upper threshold intensity of 4.40 × 10⁶ mW cm^?2 at the focused position was found. A reversible working window of the focusing intensity between 1.86 × 10⁶ and 4.40 × 10⁶ mW cm^?2 was measured with sandwiched AgO_x thin film alone. The near‐field interactions of the AgO_x thin film and the recording layers of super‐resolution near‐field optical disk are also discussed.     

Microstructural and wear properties of sputtered carbides and silicides

Sputtered Cr₃C₂, Cr₃Si₂ and MoSi₂ wear-resistant films (0.05–3.5 μm thick) were deposited on metal and glass surfaces. Electron transmission, electron diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were used to determine the microstructural appearance. Strong adherence was obtained with these sputtered films. Internal stresses and defect crystallographic growth structures of various configurations within the film have progressively more undesirable effects for film thicknesses greater than 1.5 μm. Sliding contact and rolling element bearing tests were performed with these sputtered films. Bearings sputtered with a duplex coating (a 0.1 μm thick undercoating of Cr₃Si₂ and subsequently a 0.6 μm coating of MoS₂) produced marked improvement (more than 10.5 × 10⁷ cycles) over straight MoS₂ films.     

Lubrication at 750°C in a vacuum by a transfer film from self‐lubricating composites for roll/slide contact of Si3N4

Roll/slide friction tests were carried out at a temperature of 750°C in a vacuum. Disc specimens were made of Si₃N₄ with or without a sputtered MoS₂ film. A pin specimen was rubbed against one disc to supply a lubricating transfer film. With a pin made of an MoS₂‐based composite, the friction coefficient was around 0.3 and almost no wear of the discs was observed after 24 h of operation at a load of 50 N, a rotating speed of 0.5 m/s, and a slip ratio of 10%. Transferred patchy MoS₂ films were observed on the friction track. With a pin made of Ni‐based composite containing BN and graphite, the friction coefficient increased from 0.2 to 0.7 over a test time of about 8 h and severe disc wear was found. In an additional test using Si₃N₄ discs with a sputtered MoS₂ film without a pin, the friction coefficient was about 0.3, and no wear of the discs was found after 24 h of operation. The appearance of the friction track was similar to that in the test using the MoS₂‐based composite pin. It seems that the sputtered MoS₂ film wore, but wear particles reattached on the friction path to develop an effective lubricating film. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of transfer film lubrication for long‐term operation in a high‐temperature vacuum, and the superior ability of MoS₂ to develop an effective transfer film.

Automated focusing in bright-field microscopy for tuberculosis detection

Pulsed‐laser atom‐probe tomography is used to compare the field‐evaporation mass spectrum and spatial distribution of molecular fragments from various poly(3‐alkylthiophene) films deposited on sharpened aluminium specimen carriers using two different deposition methods. Films deposited via a modified solution‐cast methodology yield small fragments with a uniform structural morphology whereas films deposited via an electrospray ionization methodology yield a wide range of fragments with a very non‐uniform structural morphology. The main field‐evaporated chemical species identified for both deposition types were, in order of typical relative abundance, C₂H₅⁺, CH₃⁺, C₂H₄⁺, followed by C₃H_7,8⁺/SC⁺ and SCH⁺. Thick electrospray depositions allowed investigation of the influence of laser‐pulse energy on the analysis. Evidence is presented supporting the presence of a critical laser‐pulse energy whereby changes in film morphology are signalled by the appearance of a new mass fragment at 190 Da.     

Mechanical properties and tribological behavior of ZrO<Subscript>2</Subscript> thin films deposited on sulfonated self-assembled monolayer of 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane

A silane coupling reagent (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (abridged as MPTS) was self-assembled on a single-crystal Si substrate to form a two-dimensional organic monolayer (MPTS-SAM). The terminal –SH group in the MPTS-SAM film was in-situ oxidized to –SO₃H group to endow the film with good chemisorption ability. Then ZrO₂ thin films were deposited on the oxidized MPTS-SAM by way of the enhanced hydrolysis of aqueous zirconium sulfate (Zr(SO₄)₂·4H₂O) in the presence of aqueous HCl at 50 °C, making use of the chemisorption ability of the –SO₃H group. The thickness of the ZrO₂ films was determined with an ellipsometer, while their morphologies and corresponding friction forces were analyzed by means of atomic force microscopy. The hardness and elastic modulus of the ZrO₂ thin films were determined on a Nanoindentation II (MET) instrument. The macro-friction and wear behaviors of the ZrO₂ films sliding against an AISI-52100 steel ball were examined on a unidirectional friction and wear tester and the worn surface morphologies observed on a scanning electron microscope (SEM). As the results, the as-deposited ZrO₂ thin film at a deposition duration of 100 h is about 100 nm thick, it decreases to 48 nm after annealing at 500 °C and further decreases to 45 nm after heating at 800 °C. The as-deposited ZrO₂ film is relatively rougher, with the rms to be about 1.0 nm, while the ZrO₂ thin films heated at 500 and 800 °C have surface roughness rms of 0.76 nm and 0.68 nm, respectively. The ZrO₂ film annealed at 800 °C has a high hardness to elastic modulus (H/E) ratio (0.062) as compared to the as-deposited ZrO₂ film and the film annealed at 500 °C. Both the two annealed ZrO₂ films show excellent wear-resistance as they slide against AISI-52100 steel at a normal load below 2.0 N, while the one annealed at 800 °C has better wear-resistance. The differences in the friction and wear behaviors of the as-deposited ZrO₂ film, the ZrO₂ film annealed at 500 °C and that annealed at 800 °C are attributed to their different micro structures and compositions. Since the ZrO₂ films was well adhered to the underlying MPTS-SAM, it might find promising application in the surface-protection of single crystal Si and SiC subject to sliding at small normal load in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS).     

Atomic force microscopy and electrochemical investigation on the corrosion behavior of carbon steel passivated by molybdate and chromate

The effects of CrO₄^2? and MoO₄^2? ions on the corrosion behavior of carbon steel in 0.5 M NaCl solution have been studied using electrochemical measurements and atomic force microscopy. The results suggest that both ions have good inhibition effects on the general and pitting corrosion of carbon steel. At the same concentration, the inhibition efficiency of CrO₄^2? is higher than that of MoO₄^2?. The passive film formed by CrO₄^2? is also much harder than that formed by MoO₄^2?. The passive films formed by both ions are nonconductive. Microsc. Res. Tech., 2013. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Tribological investigation of CaF2 nanocrystals as grease additives

Calcium fluoride (CaF₂) nanocrystals with average grain size of 60 nm were synthesized via a precipitation method. The morphology and structure of nanocrystals were characterized by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). TEM and XRD showed that CaF₂ nanocrystals are cubic particles in submicron scale. The tribological properties of the prepared CaF₂ nanocrystals as an additive in lithium grease were evaluated with a four-ball tester. The results indicated that these nanocrystals exhibit excellent antiwear, friction reduction and extreme pressure (EP) properties. It was also found that the EP and antiwear capabilities of the grease are not proportional to the content of CaF₂ nanocrystals but there existed a certain value. The rubbed surface after friction test was investigated with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy to understand the action mechanism. The results show that a boundary film mainly composed of CaF₂, CaO, iron oxide and some organic compounds was formed on the rubbed surface after friction test and the thickness of boundary film was about 12 nm. The disproportion of stoichiometric ratio of Ca and F in boundary lubrication film indicates that tribochemical reaction of CaF₂ nanocrystals occurred on the worn steel surface at severe tribological conditions.
