Pulsed laser ablation deposition

Pulsed laser ablation deposition technique (PLAI) technique)... 

Pulsed laser ablation deposition was used to coat silicon and quartz glass substrates with I1O2/WO3 thin films [259]. The multilayer film showed high photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation.

Preparation of catalyst libraries for the discovery phase can be broadly divided into two categories (1) solution-based methods, and (2) thin-film deposition/based methods. The solution-based methods include those that utilize (1) multi-tasking robotic workstations [14-16] (2) inkjet printhead technology [17], and (3) microjet technology [18]. The thin-film deposition-based methods employ electron beam and thermal evtqroration, sputtering, pulsed laser ablation, and chemical vapor deposition (see [60] in [13] for a list of references). A detailed discussion of how these have been applied is provided elsewhere [13]. Web sites provide links to various aspects of combinatorial chemistry (www.combichem.net and www.5z.com). Here, the hardware aspects are lightly sketched. 

While the growth of conductive polymer layers onto bulk high-Tc ceramic pellets can be accomplished readily, the use of thin films of YBa2Cu307- s is preferred for the construction of polymer/superconductor bilayer structures. Consequently, thin films of YBa2Cu707 is (—200-5(X)0 A in thickness) were deposited onto singlecrystal MgO(KX)) substrates using the pulsed laser ablation method [291, and these films were used to create polymer/superconductor bilayer structures. The result-... 

Figure3.42 Transmitted second-harmonic intensity as a function of the incident angle of the fundamental beam having s-polarization (crosses) and p-polarization (closed circles) for an approximately 45-nm thick ZnO film deposited on c-plane sapphire by pulsed laser ablation. The solid curves are theoretical fits to data. (After Ref [193].)...
