Investigation of morphological changes in platinum-containing nanostructures created by electron-beam-induced deposition

Focused electron-beam-induced deposition (EBID) allows the rapid fabrication of three-dimensional nanodevices and metallic wiring of nanostructures, and is a promising technique for many applications in nanoresearch. The authors present two topics on platinum-containing nanostructures created by EBID. First, they report on a TEM study of the...

High-resistivity nanogranular Co–Al–O films for high-frequency applications

This work presents a series of high-resistivity nanogranular Co–Al–O films with maximum resistivity of ? 110?m??cm. The films were deposited using pulsed dc reactive sputtering of a Co72Al28 target in an oxygen/argon ambient. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), M-H loop measurements, and s-parameter measurements...
