Nanostructured Materials for Microstructural Control of Thermal Properties

ZrO 2 -8% mol. Y 2 O 3 (8YSZ) thin films were deposited onto silicon [100] and AISI 304 stainless steel substrates by r.f. (13.56 MHz) multi-target magnetron sputtering. To improve the adhesion of a YSZ monolayer to the stainless steel substrate, a buffer layer of Al 2 O 3 was incorporated too. Crystal structure and Infrared (IR) absorption bands of YSZ were investigated as functions of substrate bias by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. The influence of the bias voltage on the roughness, grain size, and microstructure of deposited thin films was determined by AFM and SEM. XRD results show the presence of a tetragonal phase with [111] and [200] orientations. On the other hand, FTIR spectra exhibit the 2E u and F 1u modes as two broad bands in the frequency range of 450 ~ 550 cm -1 and 550 ~ 650 cm -1 , corresponding to the tetragonal and cubic phases of ZrO 2 , respectively. In this work we present the systematic influence of the bias voltage on the crystalline structure, the presence of the tetragonal phase and morphology of the YSZ thin films. The XRD, FTIR, and AFM results indicate that when the bias voltage increases from -20 V to -60 V the preferential crystallographic orientation of YSZ tetragonal phase changes from [111] to [200], and the percentage of the tetragonal phase diminishes, as well as the grain size of deposited films from (560 ± 5) to (470 ± 5) nm.
