| 2 | Role of Ion Beam Irradiation and Annealing Efect on the Deposition of AlON Nanolayers by Using Plasma Focus Device显示文摘AlON nanolayers are synthesized on Al substrate by the irradiation of energetic nitrogen ions using plasma focusing. Samples are exposed to multiple(5, 10, 15, 20 and 25) focus shots. Ion energy and ion number density range from 80 keV to 1.4 MeV and 5.6×1019m-3 to 1.3×1019m-3, respectively. Moreover, the efect of continuous annealing(473 K and 523 K) on an AlN surface layer synthesized with 25 focus shots is also examined. The main features of the X-ray difraction(XRD) patterns with increasing focus shots are:(i) variation in the crystallinity of AlN along(111),(200) and(311) planes,(ii) increasing average crystallite size of AlN(111) plane, and(iii) stress relaxation observed in AlN(111) and (200) planes. The crystallinity of AlN surface layer is comparatively better at 473 K annealing temperature. A broadened difraction peak related to an aluminium oxide phase showing weak crystallinity is observed for 15 focus shots while non-bounded oxides are present in all other deposited layers. Raman and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) analysis confirm the presence of AlN and Al2O3 for the surface layer annealed at 473 K temperature. Raman analysis shows that the overlapping of AlN and Al2O3 results in the development of residual stresses. Scanning electron microscope(SEM) results demonstrate that the formation of rounded grains(range from 20 nm to 200 nm) and variations in their microstructures features depend on the increasing number of focus shots. Decomposition of larger clusters into smaller ones is observed. | I.A.KHAN R.S.RAWAT R.VERMA G.MACHARAGA R.AHMAD Z.A.UMAR M.A.K.SHAHID | 2013 | Plasma Science and Technology2013，15，11： | 0 |
