    High-power impulse magnetron sputtering of Ti–Si–C thin films from a Ti3SiC2 compound target2006In: Thin Solids Films, ISSN 0040-6090, Vol. 515, no 4, p. 1731-1736Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We have deposited Ti–Si–C thin films using high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HIPIMS) from a Ti3SiC2 compound target. The as-deposited films were composite materials with TiC as the main crystalline constituent. X-ray diffraction and photoelectron spectroscopy indicated that they also contained amorphous SiC, and for films deposited on inclined substrates, crystalline Ti5Si3Cx. The film morphology was dense and flat, while films deposited with direct-current magnetron sputtering under comparable conditions were rough and porous. We show that, due to the high degree of ionization of the sputtered species obtained in HIPIMS, the film composition, in particular the C content, depends on substrate inclination angle and Ar process pressure.

    Tungsten oxide nanoparticles synthesised by laser assisted homogeneous gas-phase nucleation2005In: Applied Surface Science, Vol. 247, no 1-4, p. 262-267Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Tungsten oxide nanoparticles were generated by excimer (ArF) laser assisted chemical vapor deposition from WF6/H2/O2/Ar gas mixtures. The deposited particles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The deposition rate as a function of the partial pressures of the reactants and of the laser fluence was measured by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. The mean diameter of the deposited tungsten oxide particles varied with the experimental parameters and was typically 23 nm. Particles with a higher degree of crystallinity were observed at a laser fluence exceeding 130 mJ/cm2, and X-ray amorphous particles were obtained below 110 mJ/cm2. The amorphous tungsten oxide had a stoichiometry ranging from WO2.7 to WO3. Deposits were formed only when hydrogen was present in the gas mixture.

    Friction and contact resistance of nanocomposite Ti-Ni-C coatings2011In: Wear, ISSN 0043-1648, E-ISSN 1873-2577, Vol. 270, no 9-10, p. 555-566Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Ceramic nanocomposite coatings in the Ti-Ni-C were deposited using PVD and studied with respect to tribological properties and contact resistance. It was shown that coatings could be deposited combining of a low contact resistance and a low friction coefficient against silver, making them suitable for use in high performance electrical contacts.Nine coatings with different amounts of C and Ni were deposited. Coatings on flat Ni plated copper substrates were tested in a tribological ball-on-disc setup against ball bearing steel balls. Depending on primarily the amount of carbon the coatings showed very different friction coefficient and wear rate. The coatings were also deposited on cylindrical Ni plated copper substrates. Using geometrically identical silver plated cylinders as counter surface these were evaluated in a test setup better resembling a real life electrical contact. For most coatings a low electrical contact resistance was measured. The evolution of friction coefficient and contact resistance was correlated to wear marks and contact tracks, with their generated tribofilms, as examined after testing using electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

    Corrosion behaviour of monocrystalline titanium nitride1997In: Surface and Coatings Technology, Vol. 91, no 3, p. 208-214Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The corrosion behaviour of monocrystalline and highly textured TiN films deposited onto single crystalline MgO has been investigated. It was found that films with high defect concentrations and elements of polycrystallinity had a reduced corrosion resistance. These films had low corrosion potentials and high critical and passive current densities. For high quality films the [110]- and [111]-orientations generally displayed better corrosion properties than films with [100]-orientation. Corrosion had different effects on films of different orientations: On [100]-oriented films loose rectangularly shaped flakes were observed. [110]-oriented films cracked because of compressive stresses, which in many cases caused the films to peel off during corrosion. On [111]-oriented films, finally, triangular pits were detected after corrosion. Films with high corrosion potentials had low values of critical and passive current densities. Non-destructive electrochemical analysis in combination with defect analysis can thus be used to predict the behaviour of these films on anodic polarisation.

    Heterometallic Oxo-Alkoxides of Europium, Titanium and Potassium2010Licentiate thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Coordination compounds of europium and titanium with oxide, ethoxide (OCH2CH3), iso-propoxide (OCH(CH3)2) and tert-butoxide (OC(CH3)3) ligands have been studied. These belong to the general class of oxo-alkoxides, MxOy(OR)z, with alkoxide ligands (OR) containing an organic, aliphatic part R. The R group can be systematically varied, permitting the investigation of the influence of electronic and steric effects on the coordination of metal and oxygen atoms. Their tendency towards hydrolysis and formation of metal-oxygen-metal bridges also makes (oxo)alkoxides interesting as precursors in liquid solution-based or gas phase-based synthesis of many technologically important materials.

    The structure of a termetallic oxo-alkoxide of formula Eu3K3TiO2(OH/OCH3)(OR)11(HOR) (R = C(CH3)3) was revealed by a combination of single-crystal X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy. Its unusual structure features a facial oxygen-centered Eu3K3O octahedron sharing one face with an oxygen-centered K3TiO tetrahedron. Six-coordination of oxygen by a combination of alkali metal and lanthanoid atoms is not uncommon for alkoxides, but the attachment of a tetrahedron to one of its faces provides a new dimension to the library of oxo-alkoxide structures. The structure was the result of incomplete metathesis in the synthesis attempt of europium-titanium oxo-tert-butoxides.

    Eu4TiO(OR)14 and (Eu0.5La0.5)4TiO(OR)14 (R = CH(CH3)2) were found to be isostructural with previously published Ln4TiO(OR)14 structures (Ln=Sm, Tb0.9Er0.1). X-ray diffraction and UV-Vis absorption results show no site preference for La in either the solid state or hexane solution. The Ln4TiO(OR)14 structure forms part of an interesting group of Ln4MO(OR)10+z­(HOR)q structures where M is another lanthanoid (Ln) or a di-, tri- or tetravalent heteroatom, giving either a square pyramidal or a trigonal bipyramid-like coordination of the central oxygen atom, depending on the chemistry and size of M.

    Eu2Ti4O2(OR)18(HOR)2 (R = CH2CH3) was deduced from IR data to have the same molecular structure as Er2Ti4O2(OR)18(HOR)2. UV-Vis measurements are also in agreement with the presence of one symmetry-unique europium site in the molecular structure. Structure determination by single-crystal X-ray diffraction has yet to be performed.

    Abstract [en]

    Three Eu-Ti alkoxides have been synthesised and spectroscopically and structurally characterised: Eu4TiO(OCH(CH3)2)14 (1), Eu2La2TiO(OCH(CH3)2)14 (2) and Eu2Ti4O2(OC2H5)18(HOC2H5)2 (3). The structures of 1 and 2 were refined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The iso-structural 1 and 2 are of the Sm4TiO(OR)14 structure type, where the La3+ and Eu3+ ions in 2 are randomly distributed over the two six-coordinated Ln positions. Electronic absorption spectroscopy shows that Eu3+ occupies both sites in solutions of 1 and 2, but differences in the fine structures of the Eu3+ f-f transition peaks due to the substitution of La3+ for Eu3+ are reported. The structure of Eu2Ti4O2(OC2H5)18(HOC2H5)2  was inferred from vibrational and electronic spectroscopic studies and comparison with the structurally determined iso-structural Er2Ti4O2(OC2H5)18(HOC2H5)2.

Its unusual structure features an Eu3K3O fac-octahedron, capped by a distorted K3TiO tetrahedron on the K3 face. The compound, crystallising in space group P21/n with cell parameters a = 14.44 Å, b = 23.58 Å, c = 21.27 Å and β = 96.18°, is the result of incomplete metathesis between EuCl3 and potassium and titanium tert-butoxides in combination with deliberate hydrolysis and decomposition. It provides one of few examples of termetallic lanthanide alkoxides, as well as of an alkoxide tert-butyl group decomposing into a methyl group.

    Diffusion in Copper Sulphides: An experimental study of chalcocite, chalcopyrite and bornite1996Report (Other scientific)
    Abstract [en]

    Diffusion measurements on three copper-containing sulphides have been performed by an electrochemical potentiometric method. -- The diffusion coefficient for chalcocite is in good agreement with values found previously, and a reasonable agreement is also found for chalcopyrite and bornite when our data are compared with values acquired at much higher temperatures with a different technique. The activation energies are remarkably similar for the three sulphides, considering that their relative errors are of a 10% magnitude, which indicates that the bonding strengths and the diffusion mechanisms are similar.

    Abstract [en]

    The structural and magnetic properties of TlCo(2-x)Cu(x)Se2 have been investigated experimentally. The antiferromagnetic coupling already found in TlCo2Se2 prevails on copper substitution but is weakened. For high copper contents, x larger tahn 1.3, Pauli paramagnetism occurs. -- The magnetic structure of teh unsubstituted TlCo2Se2 has been reinvestigated by neutron powder diffraction. Below 80K it is characterised by a helimagnetic arrangement of spins confined to the Co sheets, the helix running along the c-axis.

    Wear-resistant magnetic thin film material based on a Ti1−xFexC1−y nanocomposite alloy2010In: Physical Review B Condensed Matter, ISSN 0163-1829, E-ISSN 1095-3795, Vol. 81, no 1, p. 014405-Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In this study we report on the film growth and characterization of thin films deposited on amorphous quartz. The experimental studies have been complemented by first-principles density-functional theory metastable Ti-Fe-C film changes. With increasing annealing time, there is a depletion of iron close to the surface of the film, while regions enriched in iron are simultaneously formed deeper into the film. Both the magnetic ordering temperature and the saturation magnetization changes significantly upon annealing. The DFT calculations show that the critical temperature and the magnetic moment both increase with increasing Fe and C-vacancy concentration. The formation of the metastable iron-rich Ti-Fe-C compound is reflected in the strong increase in the magnetic ordering temperature. Eventually, after enough annealing time nanocrystalline -Fe starts to precipitate, the amount and size of which can be controlled by the annealing procedure; after 20 min of annealing, the experimental results indicate a nanocrystalline iron-film embedded in a wear-resistant TiC compound. This conclusion is further supported by transmission electron microscopy studies on epitaxial Ti-Fe-C films deposited on single-crystalline MgO substrates where, upon annealing, an iron film embedded in TiC is formed. Our results suggest that annealing of metastable Ti-Fe-C films can be used as an efficient way of creating a wear-resistant magnetic thin film material. approximately 50-nm-thick Ti-Fe-CDFT calculations.

    Investigations of surface coatings to reduce memory effect in plastic scintillator detectors used for radioxenon detection2011In: Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, ISSN 0168-9002, E-ISSN 1872-9576, Vol. 656, no 1, p. 84-91Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In this work Al(2)O(3) and SiO(2) coatings are tested as Xe diffusion barriers on plastic scintillator substrates. The motivation is improved beta-gamma coincidence detection systems, used to measure atmospheric radioxenon within the verification regime of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. One major drawback with the current setup of these systems is that the radioxenon tends to diffuse into the plastic scintillator material responsible for the beta detection, resulting in an unwanted memory effect. Here, coatings with thicknesses between 20 and 900 nm have been deposited onto plastic scintillators, and investigated using two different experimental techniques. The results show that all tested coatings reduce the Xe diffusion into the plastic. The reduction is observed to increase with coating thickness for both coating materials. The 425 nm Al(2)O(3) coating is the most successful one, presenting a diffusion reduction of a factor 100, compared to uncoated plastic. In terms of memory effect reduction this coating is thus a viable solution to the problem in question.

    Structure and morphology of nickel-alumina/silica solar thermal selective absorbers2011In: Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids, ISSN 0022-3093, E-ISSN 1873-4812, Vol. 357, no 5, p. 1370-1375Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Nickel-alumina/silica thin film materials for the use in solar thermal absorbers have been investigated using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis (ERDA). The TEM images revealed that all layers have a very small thickness variation and that the layers are completely homogenous. High resolution images showed 5-10 nm (poly) crystalline nickel nano-particles. ERDA showed that both the silica and alumina compositions contain more oxygen than 2:1 and 3:2 respectively. SEM showed the surface morphology and characteristics of the top silica anti-reflection layer. Hybrid-silica has showed to generate a smoother surface with less cracking compared to pure silica. The final curing temperature revealed to be of importance for the formation of cracks and the surface morphology.

    Durability tests of solution-chemically derived spectrally selective absorbers2005In: Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, Vol. 89, p. 197-207Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A detailed neutron powder diffraction and calorimetric study was conducted to determine the influence of increasing Mn-substitution on the crystal and the magnetic structures of hematite, α-Fe2O3. The study was initiated to determine, if Mn substitution may be responsible for unusual ferromagnetic properties of natural hematite samples from the Kalahari Mn field, South Africa. Natural as well as synthetic Mn-bearing hematite samples with the compositional range Fe2−xMnxO3 (x=0 to 0.176) were examined. Calorimetric measurements were performed to determine the Néel TN and the Morin TM temperature transitions. All studied hematite samples, irrespective of chemical composition, display weak ferromagnetism at 295 K and coexistence of weak ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic phases at 10 K. A slight decrease of the total magnetic moment and TM but a drastic decrease of TN can be attributed to increasing Mn-substitution. The results illustrate that Mn substitution may contribute but cannot be the sole reason for the unusual magnetic properties of natural hematite samples.

    ERDA of Ni-Al2O3/SiO2 solar thermal selective absorbers2008In: Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, ISSN 0927-0248, E-ISSN 1879-3398, Vol. 92, no 10, p. 1177-1182Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Thin film materials for the use in solar thermal absorbers have been investigated using time-of-flight energy elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA). The ERDA measurements proved to be very efficient in detecting the elemental depth composition of a selective solar absorber. The three-layer absorber is composed of an 80% nickel-20% alumina film at the base, a 40% nickel-60% alumina layer in the middle and finally an AR film of silica or hybrid-silica film at the top. The difference between solution volume percent and actual volume percent could be investigated when studying individual nickel-alumina films with varying ratios coated on glass substrates. The result showed that there was a maximum difference of 3% between the calculated solution volume percent and the actual volume percentages in the solid films. The ERDA measurements also indicate that about 15% of the nickel found in the nickel-alumina composite films is bound in the form of NiO.

    Anti-reflection coatings for solution-chemically derived nickel—alumina solar absorbers2004In: Solar Energy Materials & Solar Cells, no 84, p. 183-191Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In order to suppress reflections from a solar absorber surface an anti-reflection (AR) layer is usually deposited on top of the solar absorbing coating. For the AR coating to function well it be made of a material with a lower refractive index than the underlying surface. Provided that the AR coating is sufficiently thin, it will not increase the thermal emittance value. Besides increasing the solar absorptance it is equally important that the AR layer is long term stable in order to create a successful solar selective coating. The objective was to create a highly efficient, flexible, inexpensive and durable AR coating for solar absorbers using simple techniques. Elastic properties are requested because it prohibits the formation of micro-cracks.

    Mumina, silica and hybrid silica AR coatings were synthesized using solution chemistry and )l-gel techniques. The AR coatings were deposited on the absorber surface using spin

    coating. The absorbers used without an AR layer had a normal solar absorptance of 0.79-0.81 and a normal thermal emittance of 0.03 The optimum anti-reflection coated sample acquired

    a normal solar absorptance of 0.93 while the thermal emittance remained unaltered. The study has shown that by adding a proper AR coating to a solar absorber the spectral selectivity can be considerably enhanced.

    Methanol adsorption on the Si(100)-2 × 1 surface: a first-principles calculation2005In: Condens. Matter, Vol. 17, p. 1289-1300Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The process of adsorption of methanol on a Si(100)-2 × 1 surface has been investigated theoretically, using density functional theory and a periodic boundary condition. The methanol adsorption on Si(100)-2 × 1 is known to be dissociative, resulting in hydrogen(methanol)–oxygen(surface) and oxygen(methanol)–silicon(surface) bond formation. Adsorption energies have been calculated here for five different surface sites for the methoxy fragment (top, bridge, cave, valley-bridge and pedestal). The top site was found to be energetically most favourable. Surface sites bridging Si atoms from the first and second atomic layers were found to be energetically equivalent to the top site. The effects of the position of the hydrogen fragment on the methoxy adsorption energy for the various adsorption sites were also investigated. These various hydrogen positions only influenced the adsorption energies marginally

    Off-equilibrium response of grafted polymer chains subject to a variable rate of compression2011In: Physical Chemistry, Chemical Physics - PCCP, ISSN 1463-9076, E-ISSN 1463-9084, Vol. 13, no 24, p. 11757-11765Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We present Brownian dynamics simulations of single grafted semiflexible chains (i.e., "polymer mushrooms'') with varying persistence lengths, intra-chain interactions, and subject to confinement. The results from different rates of compression are presented in the cases of an approaching infinite plane and a paraboloid tip. We discuss the different behaviour observed for grafted chains with strong and weak self-attraction (i.e., "hard'' and "soft'' polymer mushrooms). In both cases the effect on the size and shape is more pronounced for a slow compression rate, especially for "hard mushrooms''. We have also studied the relaxation of the chain while the compressing plane is maintained, and when it is removed suddenly. We find that the response depends strongly on the time allowed for relaxation in the compressed state. When using instead a paraboloid tip, the overall effects are similar yet less pronounced because the chain can dodge the confining object via an "escape transition.''

    Growth and Hydrogen uptake of Mg-Y thin films2005In: Journal of Applied Physics, Vol. 97, p. 104903-Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Wedged Mg–Y films with compositions ranging from pure Mg to Mg0.83Y0.17 were grown by dc-magnetron sputtering and hydrogenated. Mg1–xYx forms a substitutional alloy, ranging from 0 to at least 17 at. % in thin films. The c lattice parameter of the film containing 17 at. % of yttrium is determined to be approximatively 1% larger than in pure Mg. Upon exposure to 1 bar of hydrogen at 300 K, the samples switch from shiny metals to colorless semiconductor. Different characteristic hydrogen depth distributions are found for different Y concentrations. At low yttrium contents, a large concentration gradient is observed, with the highest hydrogen concentration close to the Pd/Mg1–xYx interface. For yttrium concentrations larger than 7 at. %, the obtained hydrogen distribution is almost independent of depth. The optical band gap is determined to be 3.6 eV, for all the Y concentrations. The optical transmission is found to decrease for increasing Y content, which is associated with an incomplete hydride formation in the films.

    The reagent-free, microwave-assisted purification of carbon nanotubes2010In: New Journal of Chemistry, ISSN 1144-0546, E-ISSN 1369-9261, Vol. 34, no 10, p. 2275-2280Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We have developed a microwave-assisted, reagent-free method for the efficient primary purification of MW and SW carbon nanotubes that is extremely fast compared to previously reported processes. The treatment dissociates and disperses non-nanotube carbon in an organic solvent to yield very pure carbon nanotubes within a few minutes of heating and a simple filtration, without the involvement of acidic/oxidative reagents. According to thermogravimetric analysis, Raman and IR spectroscopy, as well as scanning and transmission electron microscopy, the process yields pure nanotubes with a low degree of defects.

    Nanostructure Electrodes for 3D Li-ion Microbatteries2008In: Junior Euromat 2008 14-18 July, Lausanne (CH) oral presentation, 2008Conference paper (Other (popular scientific, debate etc.))
    Abstract [en]

    The vast development of surface micromachining technology has brought the proliferation of MEMS devices. However, the issue of powering the MEMS devices still remains as a great challenge. Although the conventional thin film 2D batteries seems promising for achieving high power density, however, relatively large area is required for having sufficient capacity. The drawbacks of 2D batteries can be overcome by using 3D architecture of Li-ion microbatteries.

    The 3D architecture of Li-ion microbatteries will have the advantages of short diffusion path as the electrode active materials are just tenth of nanometer deposited on the current collectors. The short diffusion path guarantees the high power performance. Besides that, the capacity of the microbatteries can be enhanced by just increasing the length of the electrode while keeping the areal footprint. This is what makes the 3D microbatteries a more promising power supply for MEMS.

    Our approach to synthesize a 3D Li-ion microbattery is starting with the synthesis of a nanostructure current collector using a template method. An anodized aluminium oxide (AAO) membrane is used as template for the electrodeposition of an aluminium current collector. AAO with defined pore sizes and inter-pores spacing are synthesized with a suitable diameter and interspacing where an aluminium current collector can grow within the template. The following step is the deposition of electrode active materials on the current collector. In this example Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) is employed in order to achieve a well deposited layer of, in this case, a TiO2 cathode material. By controlling the deposition parameters, the crystal structure and the thickness of TiO2 layer can be altered to give a better electrochemical performance. Our results will be discussed in the light of the complexity of the deposition mechanisms of both the aluminium current collector nano-rods and the TiO2 layer.

    Current Instability for Silicon Nanowire Field-Effect Sensors Operating in Electrolyte with Platinum Gate Electrodes2011In: Electrochemical and solid-state letters, ISSN 1099-0062, E-ISSN 1944-8775, Vol. 14, no 7, p. J34-J37Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Current instability is observed for silicon nanowire field-effect transistors operating in electrolytes with Pt gate electrodes. A comparative study involving an Ag/AgCl-reference gate electrode reveals that the effect results from a drift in the potential at the Pt-electrode/electrolyte interface. In a phosphate buffer saline of pH 7.4, the stabilization of the potential of the Pt electrode was found to require approximately 1000 s. A concurrent potential drift, with a comparable time constant, occurring at the electrolyte/oxidized-nanowire interface rendered a complex device current response which complicated the interpretation of the results.

    Experimental investigation of the electrical properties of atomic layer deposited hafnium-rich silicate films on n-type silicon2006In: Journal of Applied Physics, ISSN 0021-8979, E-ISSN 1089-7550, Vol. 100, no 9, p. 094107-Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This work examines the structural and electrical properties of HfSixOy film based metal-insulator-semiconductor capacitors by means of x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, capacitance-voltage (C-V), deep level transient spectroscopy, and conductance transient (G-t) techniques. Hafnium-rich silicate films were atomic layer deposited onto HF-etched or SiO2 covered silicon. Although as-deposited samples exhibit high interfacial state and disorder-induced gap state densities, a postdeposition thermal annealing in vacuum under N2 flow for 1 min at temperatures between 600 and 730 °C clearly improves the interface quality. Marked crystallization and phase separation occurred at 800 °C, increasing the structural heterogeneity and defect density in the dielectric oxide layers.

    Influence of single and double deposition temperatures on the interface quality of atomic layer deposited Al2O3 dielectric thin films on silicon2006In: Journal of Applied Physics, Vol. 99, p. 054902-Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    An electrical characterization of Al2O3 based metal-insulator-semiconductor structures has been carried out by using capacitance-voltage, deep level transient spectroscopy, and conductance-transient (G-t) techniques. Dielectric films were atomic layer deposited (ALD) at temperatures ranging from 300 to 800 °C directly on silicon substrates and on an Al2O3 buffer layer that was grown in the same process by using 15 ALD cycles at 300 °C. As for single growth temperatures, 300 °C leads to the lowest density of states distributed away from the interface to the insulator [disorder-induced gap states (DIGS)], but to the highest interfacial state density (Dit). However, by using 300/500 °C double growth temperatures it is possible to maintain low DIGS values and to improve the interface quality in terms of Dit. The very first ALD cycles define the dielectric properties very near to the dielectric-semiconductor interface, and growing an upper layer at higher ALD temperature produces some annealing of interfacial states, thus improving the interface quality. Also, samples in which the only layer or the upper one was grown at the highest temperature (800 °C) show the poorest results both in terms of Dit and DIGS, so using very high temperatures yield defective dielectric films.
