Y2O3nanoparticle suspension aqueous solution was prepared using citric acid. Then, Y2O3film was deposited using this solution with pulsed electrophoretic deposition (EPD). A dense Y2O3film of 25.7 μm thickness was obtained with deposition conditions of 0.5 wt% Y2O3concentration, bias voltage of 0.5 V, and bias frequency of 1 kHz. The respective resistivities of the as-deposited film and films heat-treated at 200°C and 400°C were 2.84 × 103 Ω·cm, 5.36 × 104 Ω·cm, and 2.05 × 106 Ω·cm. A 59.8 μm thick dense Y2O3film was obtained using two-step deposition with change of the bias voltage: a first step of 0.5 V and a second step of 2.0 V.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
