Sodium Irridate : Thin Film Deposition
Masters at IISER Mohali | Links:
Tried DC sputtering and annealing to make a thin film of a potential topological insulator Sodium Irridate on Yttrium Aluminate substrate. Had fun and failed spectacularly.
Slides for this work.
Conclusion
Towards the end of this process, a scanning electron microscope with EDS was installed. The EDS data revealed that the thin films produced were actually IrO3.
