11. Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia and Gadolinia-Doped Ceria Thin Films for Fuel Cell Applications
Sammanfattning : Solid oxide fuel cells convert chemical energy directly into electrical energy with high efficiency and low emission of pollutants. However, before fuel cell technology can gain a significant share of the electrical power market, the operation temperature needs to be reduced in order to decrease costs and improve the durability of the cells.

12. Fundamental processes in thin film growth : The origin of compressive stress and the dynamics of the early growth stages
Sammanfattning : The fundamental mechanisms behind the generation of compressive stresses in polycrystalline thin films, the effects of pulsed deposition fluxes on the dynamics of the early growth stages as well as the generation of energetic Ar+ ions in high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) discharges has been studied in this thesis.It was found that compressive film stresses in Mo films deposited using energetic vapor fluxes are correlated with high film densities while only a slight lattice expansion compared to relaxed Mo was found.

13. Novel tantalate-niobate films for microwaves
Sammanfattning : Microwave materials have been widely used in a variety of applications ranging from communication devices to military satellite services, and the study of materials properties at microwave frequencies and the development of functional microwave materials have always been among the most active areas in solid-state physics, materials science, and electrical and electronic engineering. In recent years, the increasing requirements for the development of high speed, high frequency circuits and systems require complete understanding of the properties of materials function at microwave frequencies.

14. Engineered ion-bombardment as a tool in thin film deposition
Sammanfattning : Energetic-ion bombardment has become an attractive route to modify the crystal growth and deposit high quality thin films. In high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) where the discharge is characterized by a significant amount of ions of the sputter-ejected atoms, energetic-ion bombardment effects could not be underestimated.

15. Characterization of (Ba,Sr)TiO3 thin films for multiplier applications
Sammanfattning : (Ba,Sr)TiO3 (BSTO) and SrTiO3 (STO) parallel plate ferroelectric varactors are investigated for microwave multiplier applications.STO and BSTO exhibit low losses, high permittivity and largetunability of both permittivity and losses. All films are deposited using Pulsed Laser Deposition, magnetron sputtering and E-beam evaporation. LÄS MER
