The effects of Si nanocluster (Si-nc) size on the energy transfer rate to Er ions were investigated through studies made on appropriate configurations of mutilayers (MLs) consisting in about 20 periods of Er-doped Si-rich SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>/SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>. These MLs were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering at...</subscript></subscript>

Zinc oxide thin films were sputter deposited on (100) silicon substrates at 250 <Superscript>○</Superscript>C substrates temperature via reactive unbalanced dc magnetron process using pure zinc target and argon/oxygen gases. The influence of the applied dc sputtering power (between 100 to 250 Watts, step 50 Watts) on...</superscript>

Vanadium and hafnium nitride nanoscale films were synthesized onto (100)-oriented silicon wafers by reactive dc-magnetron sputtering. The temperature of the substrate was fixed at 150 °C. Several analysis techniques were used to characterize the resulting films: Wave Dispersion Spectroscopy...

This work reports the magnetic properties of sputtered permalloy (Ni<Subscript>80</Subscript>Fe<Subscript>20</Subscript>) multilayers grown changing the anisotropy direction 90° in successive layers. Magnetic measurements show how the saturating field can be controlled by the thickness ratio between different anisotropy layers and how the...</subscript></subscript>
