The aim of this study is to develop nanometer-thin epoxy-based films on aluminium alloy AA2024-T3 as a model coating system for high resolution corrosion studies. Spin coating was used for the layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition of poly-(ethylenimine) (PEI) and poly([o-cresyl glycidyl ether]-co-formaldehyde) (CNER) bilayers. The film chemistry and the cross-linking process were characterized by means of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).
Ellipsometric data confirmed the linear increase of film thickness. The potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results indicate the improvement of the film barrier properties with increasing film thickness. Mapping of the topography and the volta potential was performed by means of scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy (SKPFM).
The results indicate the presence of a homogeneous film structure, while the intermetallic phases can still be identified below the coating. The SKPFM Analysis confirmed that the model films are suitable for investigation of corrosion processes at the coating/metal interface.
MISTRAL-Müller-Matrix-basierte Identifizierung von Inhomogenitäten und strukturellen Anomalien
(2020)
Mit abbildender Ellipsometrie (imaging ellipsometry: IE) können Nanometer-Beschichtungen/ Degradationen visualisiert und bezüglich Brechungsindex n, Extinktionskoeffizient k und Schichtdicke d charakterisiert werden. Materialseitig werden lokal Homogenität und Isotropie innerhalb eines/mehrerer Bildpunkte (field of analysis: FOA) und messtechnisch global die Ebenheit der Proben bezüglich aller Bildpunkte des Messfeldes vorausgesetzt. Für die Müller-Matrix-basierte abbildende Ellipsometrie (MM-IE), die den optischen Response anisotroper Materialien in jedem Bildpunkt über die bis zu 16 Müller-Matrix-Elemente erfasst, ist dies von besonderer Relevanz. Reale Substrate sind aber oft nicht eben, können lokal Noppen/Mulden (im FOA) aufweisen oder sind global konvex/ konkav im möglichen Messfeld (field of view: FOV) gekrümmt. Diese lokalen/globalen strukturellen Anomalien des Substrats werden schon für die IE messtechnisch/modellseitig oft nicht beherrscht und sind für die MM-IE in der Wirkung auf die MM-Elemente unbekannt. Diese Defizite sollen messtechnisch bzw. modellmäßig behoben und somit die Messung lokal/global gekrümmter Oberflächen ermöglicht werden (MM-CSIE, CS curved surface).
For the vast majority of ellipsometric measurements, the application of planar substrates is mandatory and requires a proper sample alignment prior to the measurement. Here, the authors present a generalized approach of how to extract the isotropic ellipsometric sample parameters from an imaging Mueller-matrix measurement even if the sample is significantly misaligned. They validate the method by layer-thickness calculations based on imaging Mueller-matrix measurements of flat crystalline silicon samples that were misaligned on purpose. Furthermore, they also exploit this method’s capabilities to perform spatially resolved layer-thickness measurements of a single-layer indium-tin-oxide coating on a fused-silica microlens without the need of realignment or repositioning of the sample during the measurement.
Electrical and optical applications based on micro- and nanoparticles have specific demands on their interfacial properties. These properties are strongly related to atmospheric conditions to which the particles were exposed during their formation. In this study, metallic In microparticles are synthesized by solidification of In droplets on an amorphous Mo substrate at normal pressure and under vacuum conditions. The influence of ambient pressure on the interface and surface shape is investigated. While solidification at atmospheric pressure leads to collapsed particles with undisturbed contact to the substrate, low pressures result in smooth spherical particles but with cavities inside. Numerical simulations with COMSOL Multiphysics reveal different temperature profiles and heat flux in particles during solidification for both cases. This indicates different starting conditions of the solidification, which leads to the described phenomenon eventually. The investigation of the varying process conditions on the particle shape in combination with the calculated and measured temperature curves over time gives valuable insights into new approaches to synthesize micro- and nanoparticles with defined interfacial properties. Both ambient pressure and cooling rate provide well-controllable and reliable parameters for the realization of different interfacial shapes.
Gas sensors are an important tool in various areas for example in industrial process control as well as Gas sensors are an important tool in various areas for example in industrial process control as well as safety applications or in research. A useful gas detector should be selective, precise, stable and cost-effective. In the present research a surface based gas detection technique is investigated using the SPR effect with ellipsometric readout. This technique is called surface plasmon resonance enhanced ellipsometry (SPREE).
The sensor consists of a gold layer (40 nm) top-coated with a doped metal-oxide (M:SnOₓ,
5 nm). The coating is added by magnetron sputtering with doped targets with different doping concentrations. It could be shown that, without the top-coating, these type of sensors can detect various gases, e.g. CO, H2, O2, O3, He, N2, with sensitivities down to the ppm range (in air).
The goal of the present study is to characterize the additional coating materials in dependence of the coating conditions. With the help of the doped-metal oxide, the sensitivity increases dramatically by a factor of 100. Additionally, a selectivity for specific gases is observed which depends on the doping conditions of the coating. Changing the properties of the plasma coating process and the doping metal gives access to a variety of different layers and enables us to find the best conditions.
