Abstract
Bi3.99Ti2.97V0.03O12 (BTV) thin films were grown by pulsed laser deposition at substrate temperatures ranging between 650 and 750 °C. The structural phase, and orientation of the deposited films were investigated in order to understand the effect of the deposition parameters on the properties of the BTV films. As the substrate temperature was increased to 700 °C, the films started showing a tendency of assuming a c-axis preferred orientation, while at lower temperatures polycrystalline films were formed. The Au/BTV/Pt capacitor showed an interesting dependence of the remnant polarization (Pr) as well as dc leakage current values on the growth temperature. The film deposited at 675 °C showed a very large 2Pr of 42 μC cm−2, which is the largest for BTV thin films among the values reported so far.

20 mJ/cm2. Higher laser fluences deplete some weakly bound atoms in the thin film, such as nitrogen in CuPc. Semiconductor characteristics of CuPc thin film were examined in a Schottky diode. DANS-doped amorphous fluoropolymer was also fabricated by combining two ablation deposition processes. A crystalline feature of DANS disappears at low DANS concentrations in a fluoropolymer matrix.
