30 493. rf sputtered luminescent rare-earth oxysulfide films. (USA) Thin luminescent films of lanthanum and gadolinium oxvsulfide (REIOIS) were prepared by radio-frequency-sputtering in in ArH2S mixture. Small additions of Eu, Tb, or Tm produced red, green, or blue emissions, respectively. A luminance of 40,000 ftL from a La202S:Tb film was observed. The composition of the sputtered films was found to be very dependent upon the H,S pressure in the sputtering chamber. The film composition as a function of H,S pressure was determined and described. In order to achieve maximum luminescence, the films were treated in an H2-SO2 atmosphere at lOOO”C,and X-ray diffraction and luminous emission linewidths were observed to have decreased after treatment. Crystalline growth within the film and improved oxygen sulphur stoichiometry resulting from the treatment process are believed to be primarily responsible for the increase in luminous efficiency. The maximum luminous efficiency of the films was measured to be approximately l/l0 that of corresponding powder screens. Attempts to increase the film luminance by reducing the internal trapping of the radiation are discussed. T G Maple and R A Buchanan, J Yac Sci Tech&, 10 (5), 1973, 616 620. 30 494. Superconductivity of transition metal thin films deposited by noble gas ion beam sputtering. (USA)

Nobel gas ion beam sputtering techniques have been used to prepare thin films of several transition metals. Thin films of MO, Ti, W, and Zr metals have been found to be superconducting with transition temperatures substantially higher than those observed for the respective bulk metals. Cr thin films have been found to be superconducting for the first time. Ion beam sputtered thin films of Nb, Ru, Ta, and V metals were similarly deposited, resulting in decreases in r, compared with bulk values. In each case the transition temperatures were seen to depend on the noble gas used for deposition. The highest transition temperatures were obtained for those films deposited with xenon gas. Superconducting transition temperatures are correlated with the kind of gas used for deposition, the apparent particle size, and with changes in the size of the metal lattice.

(USA) The possibility of forming the gold-lead intermetallic compounds AuZPb, AuPb2 and AuPbs in tunnel structures using thin films of aluminium, aluminium oxide, lead, and finally gold is being studied. The room temperature diffusion of gold into lead films with thickness in the range lOQ&3600 8, is found to be rapid, with indications of compound formation taking place within a few hours. Variation of the thickness ratio of the lead and gold films is used to preferentially form a given intermetallic. Each intermetallic is characterized by its transition temperature T,, energy gap d,, and by a unique phonon spectrum which is reflected in the derivatives of the tunneling characteristics.

(USA) Results on quenched condensed films of Bi, Sb, Sb + nobel metals, Ge, Ge + noble metals, and Sn + Cu are discussed in order to demonstrate the importance of the short-range order for the properties of such films. Two kinds of amorphous films can be clearly distinguished: (a) crystallinelike and (b) liquidlike amorphous films. This classification is important for materials which are oartiallv covalently bonded. The results also show than an interesting relation exists between metastable phases in quenched condensed films and high pressure modifications of the same material.

(Germany) Transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction were used to study the structural changes in amorphous Gd-Co films with temperature while Lorentz microscopy was employed to reveal the related magnetic changes. The films were prepared by sputtering onto rocksalt substrates from which they were floated off onto conventional electron microscope support grids. Amorphous Gd-Co films in the composition range of 75 to 85 atomic per cent Co precipitate small face centered cubic Co crystals in an amorphous matrix after heating at 400°C. As deposited these films were found to contain stripe as well as in-plane domain structures. Magnetic bubbles as small as 800 A could be generated in as deposited amorphous as well as partially crystallized films. In films with less than 79 atomic per cent Co the magnetic compensation point was demonstrated by a reversible reversal of domain contrast with temperature.
