Pulsed Laser Deposition Facility for the Synthesis of Novel Surface Engineered and Electronic Ceramic Materials

摘要

The acquired funding from ARO was efficiently used to set-up a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) facility at the NCAT campus. The PLD technique is one of the most popular and effective techniques used in the present days for the deposition of thin films. In this technique, a pulsed laser (usually an excimer) is directed on a solid target. The PLD facility at NCAT campus has added a new dimension to the various research and educational activities taking place at our campus under the umbrella of NSF Center for Advanced Materials and Smart Structures. We have carried out a number of important experiments using the PLD facility in NOAT campus. These experiments have resulted in several publications in peered reviewed journals. A list of these publications can be seen at http:// camss.ncat.edu.
