In this paper, we investigate the optical properties of a typical TMO material of Ni(1-x)Mn(2+x)O4 (x=0-1) thin films. Different compositions of x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 thin films are grown on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by chemical solution deposition method under annealing temperature of 750°C. X-ray diffraction patterns indicate that Ni(1-x)Mn(2+x)O4 thin films are polycrystalline with spinel structure. The optical properties are investigated using spectroscopic ellipsometry at room temperature in the wavelength range of 400-1700nm. By fitting the measured ellipsometric data with a three-phase model (air/sample/Pt), the optical constants of thin films are determined. The refractive index and extinction coefficient don't show apparent variation with different composition. The obtained optical constants are very significant in the potential applications of optoelectronic devices.","PeriodicalId":316559,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Thin Film Physics and Applications","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127970448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These films were characterized by spectroscopic ellipsometry(SE), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). It is found that among several regulable parameters, pulse frequency, target power density, reactive gas flow rate (or working pressure) could significantly influence the optical properties and compositions of SiNx thin film more than the reverse time. The rotation of substrate which used to improve the uniformity in the radial direction also can be utilized to alter the in-depth composition distribution of the films. SiNx film with high refractive index (~2.00) and ultra low extinction coefficient (<10-3) were obtained on the optimal deposition conditions. It could be concluded that, compared to many disadvantages existing in various chemical vapour deposition (CVD) or radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering, DC pulse reactive magnetron sputtering is an alternative method to produce SiNxfilms for the increasing application especially as the moisture barriers for flexible electronics and optoelectronics.","PeriodicalId":316559,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Thin Film Physics and Applications","volume":"04 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129175457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA), we calculate and analyze the characteristics of guided-mode resonance on incident angle for TE/TM polarization. We demonstrate that a wide range tunability of such structure accomplished with only a nanoscale variation of the spacing between the gratings. For a normally incident wave of both TE and TM polarization, the structure turns out the same spectrum and resonance peaks. A gap of reflection peaks is found, and electric field distributions manifest that this gap is due to the interaction between the leaky modes of TE0-TE0, TM0-TM0 or TE0-TM0. We investigate the reflection efficiency of TE/TM polarization as a function of the wavelength with the angle of incidence as a parameter. As incident angle increases, the separation of the resonances increases also. At the same time, some specific wavelengths are maintained.","PeriodicalId":316559,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Thin Film Physics and Applications","volume":"81 3-4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120909169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
