Ta3N5 and TaON thin films on Ta foil: surface composition and stability
Article Abstract:
Thin films of Ta3N5 and TaON prepared on Ta foils are investigated in terms of surface composition and stability in air and in water to evaluate the effectiveness of these materials as visible light-responsiveness photocatalysts for water oxidation and reduction. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals that the surface of the TaN3 thin film becomes partially hydrolyzed in water.

Crystallization and premelting in thin films of weakly interacting molecules: a study of pyridine films on Ag by optical second harmonic generation
Article Abstract:
Experimental observations indicate that the second harmonic generation (SHG) technique can be used to monitor the growth and phase transitions of thin films made of pyridine molecules. The film thickness is an important factor in determining the crystallization mechanism.
