Simulation of interface dislocations effect on polarization distribution of ferroelectric thin films
Effects of interfacial dislocations on the properties of ferroelectric thin films are investigated, using the dynamic Ginzburg–Landau equation. Our results confirm the existence of a dead layer n...

Thin films of aluminum oxide and palladium were deposited on silicon at low temperatures (70–120  °C) by a cyclic adsorption/reaction processes using supercritical CO2 solvent. Precursors included Al(hfac)3, Al(acac)3, and Pd(hfac)2, and aqueous H2O2, tert-butyl peracetate, and H2 were used as the oxidants or reductants. For the precursors studied, growth proceeds through a multilayer precursor adsorption in each deposition cycle, and film thickness increased linearly with the number of growth cycles. ©2006 American Institute of Physics
