Pulsed Multiple Laser Deposition Facility for the Growth of Thin Films in Interfacial Combinatorial Material Exploration


EMSL Project ID
26193

Abstract

Under this proposal we will build a unique and novel pulsed multiple laser deposition (PMLD) chamber in EMSL 1221 as an additional facility associated with the photoelectron emission microscope (PEEM). It will initially concentrate on synthesis of specific phase-change chalcogenides for PEEM research associated with ongoing EMSL/DOE Science Theme proposals on Interfacial Phenomena and UW/NSF Mateiral World Network proposals. We will utilize it over three years for CME growth, processing and characterization to probe the basic underlying the relevant effects, with emphasis on the role of intrinsic vacancies in the crystalline material.
