CoFe2O4 and CoFe2O4‐SiO2 Nanoparticle Thin Films with Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy for Magnetic and Magneto‐Optical Applications

“…Wet chemistry based deposition methods, on the other hand, are more cost effective and the deposition rate is higher. [ 17 ] Nevertheless, one has to keep in mind that a precise control over the crystallinity and phase purity [ 15 ] is extremely important in magnetic fi lms, because they play a crucial role in determining the magnetic [ 18 ] and magneto-optical properties. From this point of view, using dispersions with preformed nanoparticles of defi ned composition wileyonlinelibrary.com © 2016 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim and structure as starting materials for the deposition of thin fi lms is a promising strategy.…”

Preparation of thin films comprising palladium nanoparticles by a solid–liquid interface reaction technique

“…To study the effect of concentration of the reducing agent on the formation of palladium nanoparticles we deposit a film of palladium nitrate on the substrate (2.5 × 2.5 cm) by the modified spin-coating method, using the equipment and procedures reported in detail elsewhere [36,37]. In the conventional spin-coating technique, viscosity of the spinning solution brings about many experimental constraints; for example, organic solvents with suitable viscosity are used, making it necessary to choose solutes soluble in them.…”

“…Low-temperature methods and processes to form thin films of nanoparticles such as precipitation [29], spray pyrolysis [30], sol-gel spin coating [31], electrodeposition [32,33], the Langmuir-Blodgett technique [34], and the liquid-liquid interface reaction technique [35] have been studied because these methods are less energy-intensive and do not require sophisticated instruments. Recently one of the present authors has reported [36,37] a modified spin-coating method wherein an aqueous solution of the salt is used for the deposition of films. This method is designated as the SLIRT (solid-liquid interface reaction technique).…”

“…The solid palladium nitrate films on glass/silicon wafer substrate are deposited by the modified spin coating method [36,37]. The films are subsequently reduced to form nanoparticulate palladium film using the solid-liquid interface reaction.…”

Structural and thermal characterization of copper(II) complexes with phenyl-2-pyridylketoxime and deposition of thin films by spin coating

“…Therefore, the principal purpose of our study is to identify the crystal structures of copper(II)-HPPK complexes in combination with different anions exhibiting flexible binding modes and to examine their thermal properties. Having fully characterized the compounds, our intention was to investigate the application of these complexes as precursors in spin coating processes (SC), which is an efficient method to grow polymeric (Hall et al, 1998), inorganic (Partridge et al, 1996;Sathaye et al, 2003), and metallic (Kim et al, 2008) thin films with easily controlled coating coverage (Schubert & Dunkel, 2003). Moreover, the technique can also be employed to deposit layers of transition metal complexes with interesting magnetic, optical, or catalytic properties (Bräuer et al, 2006;Elschner et al, 2001).…”
