In this experiment, the films were annealed at temperature 300°C, 400°C and 500°C in N2 atmosphere. In XRD diagram, two strong diffraction peaks at 29.2° and 32.2° were observed, corresponding to β-ZnS (111) and SnS (111), respectively. SEM images show that average grain size of the film is about 50 nm. Noticeable increase of grain size and clear boundaries between grains were found after annealing. The electrical properties of the SnS thin films were changed through varying annealing processes.

The optical constants have been extracted by fitting the experimental data with the Adachi's model. The optical band gap of the film can be estimated from the relation (αE)2proportional to(hυ-Eg). It is found that the absorption edge shifts to a lower energy side with increasing the temperature and the band gap Eg decreases from 3.80 to 3.72 eV. The parameters αB and θB of the Bose-Einstein model are 45.4 meV and 221.8 K, respectively, which could be ascribed to the thermal expansion of crystal lattice and the carrier-phonon interaction.

The fabrication possibilities of well-known regular periodic multilayers have been driven close to the theoretical limit, providing high resolution or high flux optics for a wide range of photon energies. In addition to that, multilayers with a lateral gradient have been developed to be adapted to curved substrates (for example for focusing purposes) or varying incidence angles on long, flat substrates. Depth-graded multilayers with arbitrarily selectable layer thicknesses over the entire layer stack have been simulated and manufactured, mainly as broadband mirrors with immense bandwidths. Finally, new applications of high precision deposition are reference sample for XRF (having several elements in low concentrations of few ng/mm2) and TXRF (with mass deposition in the range of 1011 atoms/cm2) pay tribute to the low detection limits achievable in modern instruments for these techniques.","PeriodicalId":316559,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Thin Film Physics and Applications","volume":"7995 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":"131036377","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}

This telescope is conical approximation of the Wolter-I configuration with tightly nested shells. Because of the fact that different nested shell corresponds to different grazing incident angle, so the optimum multilayer design depends on the grazing angle, and one would therefore, ideally design a different coating for each of the nested mirror shells. However, as a matter of practicality, we have to reduce the number of different designs for a reasonable compromise between the complexity of the calculation and optimal performance. In this paper, we investigate the effect of different angular classification on the effective area of the hard X-ray telescope. Many groups of hard X-ray supermirrors are optimized with different grazing incident angles using a numerical and analysis method. These supermirrors are divided into different number of groups, e.g. two, four, six, eight, ten, twelve, fourteen, and sixteen, respectively, and the corresponding effective areas are calculated. Results show that six groups of X-ray supermirrors are suitable for a reasonable compromise between optimal performance and the complexity of the calculation and fabrication.","PeriodicalId":316559,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Thin Film Physics and Applications","volume":"20 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":"124063191","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}

Pentacene is a benchmark organic semiconductor material because of its potential applications in high mobility thin film transistors and optoelectronic devices. Highly uniform monolayers of pentacene grown on polymeric substrate of poly alpha-methylstyrene exhibit sharp and intense free exciton (FE) luminescence at low temperatures. The FE emission displays characteristic intensity that grows quadratically with the number of layers. Large enhancements of Raman scattering intensities at the FE resonance enable the first observations of low-lying lattice vibrational modes in films reaching the single monolayer level. The low-lying modes exhibit characteristic changes when going from a single monolayer to two layers, revealing that a phase akin to a thin film phase of pentacene already emerges in structures of only two monolayers. A simple analysis of mode splittings offers estimates of the strength of inter-layer interactions.
