The mixture was placed in ethanol in an evaporator, heated to 303 K to 323 K (30 0 C to 50 0 C) and shaken constantly in an ultrasonic bath to maintain the complete solution.
- the thickness of the deposited metal layer was determined gravimetrically. To this end, the glass substrate was weighed before and after the coating, with a weight gain resulting in weight gain in the region of 34 ⁇ g. Taking into account the density of the nickel of 8.91 mg / cm 3 , the volume and the thickness of the deposited layer were calculated to be 12 nm. At a deposition time of 2 minutes, the growth rate of the deposited nickel layer was 6 nm per minute.
- the morphology of the layer was fitted by scanning electron microscopy in an XL-30 ESEM (PHILIPS) examined with an EDX spectrometer (PHILIPS). It was found that a layer of pure and crystalline nickel was deposited.
- the deposited nickel layer had a metallic appearance and also a layer of 8 nm thickness had good electrical conductivity.
- the coating was carried out in a cold wall CVD reactor in the form of a pulse spray evaporation CVD process.
- the reactor comprised three extension parts, an evaporator zone (T1), a carrier gas zone (T3) and a transport zone (T4). These were located above the cold wall CVD chamber.
- evaporator zone T1
- carrier gas zone T3
- transport zone T4
- ceramic blocks were arranged, which served as insulating pedestals. Over this a flat heating device was arranged.
- the injection system is located in the evaporation zone (Tl) and was placed laterally in the evaporation zone to prevent dripping.
- a liquid nitrogen cooled cold trap was placed between the reactor and the centrifugal pump to capture the vaporized solvent before it reaches the pump oil.
- the substrate temperature was 643 K and the deposition pressure was 40 mbar.
- the substrate used was glass fragments of 1.8 x 1.8 cm 2.
- the glass substrate (1.8 x 1.8 cm 2) was washed once in the ultrasonic bath with scouring powder and then twice with warm distilled water and then with acetone and dried in air.
- the coating chamber was evacuated to 5 mbar using a centrifugal pump (VacUUbrand). Subsequently, the reactor was purged with nitrogen into the system using a mass flow controller (Model No. FC-260, Tylan) and the pressure increased to 40 mbar. Subsequently, the evaporation zone, the carrier gas and the substrate were simultaneously adjusted to the desired temperature. The temperature of the various zones was controlled by means of thermocouples and resistance heaters.
- Iron (II) acetylactonate (Fe (II) (acac) 2) (Sigma-Aldrich, 95%) was dissolved in a concentration of 2.5 mM in ethanol (Prolab, preferably analytical grade).
- the necessary amount of the iron (II) acetyl lactonate was weighed with a microbalance (Sauter fine balance, type 404/11). The mixture was placed in ethanol in an evaporator, heated to 303 K to 323 K (30 0 C to 50 0 C) and shaken constantly in an ultrasonic bath to maintain the complete solution.
- the 2.5 mM solution of ferrous acetylactonate in ethanol was introduced into the reactor with a pulse duration of 25 ms and a pulse frequency of 1 Hz during a coating time of 200 minutes for coating the substrate. These conditions resulted in a growth rate of deposited iron layer of 0.4 nm per minute on glass substrate.
- the morphology of the layer was examined by scanning electron microscopy in an XL-30 ESEM (PHILIPS) equipped with an EDX spectrometer (PHILIPS). It was found that a layer of pure and crystalline iron was deposited.
- the deposited iron layer had a metallic appearance and also a layer of ⁇ 10 nm thickness had a good electrical conductivity.
- the X-ray diffractometer image shown in FIG. 3 shows that a pure cubic crystalline iron phase was deposited.
- Example 8 Under conditions similar to those of Examples 5 and 6, the coating was repeated with a solution of 5 mM nickel or cobalt (II) acetylactonate in n-butyl acrylate (Roth,> 99.5%).
