Copper-Tin (CuSn) thin films were synthsized by rf magnetron co-sputtering method with pure Cu and Sn metal targets with various rf powers and sputtering times. The obtained CuSn thin films were characterized by a surface profiler (alpha step), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray induced Auger electron spectroscopy (XAES), and contact angle measurement. The deposition rates were calculated by the thickness of CuSn thin films and sputtering times. We observed hexagonal Cu20Sn6 and cubic Cu39Sn11 phases from the films by XRD measurement. From the survey XPS spectra, the Cu and Sn main peaks were observed. Therefore, we could conclude CuSn thin films were successfully fabricated on the substrate in this study. The changes of oxidation states and chemical environment of the films were investigated with high resolution XPS spectra in the regions of Cu 2p, Cu LMM, and Sn 3d. Surface free energy (SFE) and wettability of the CuSn thin films were studied with distilled water (DW) and ethylene glycol (EG) using the contact angle measurement. The total SFE of CuSn thin films decreased as rf power on Cu target increased. The contribution to the total SFE of dispersive SFE was relatively superior to polar SFE.

Corrosion inhibition by synthesised ligand, 2-acetylpyridine 4-ethyl-3-thiosemicarbazone (HAcETSc) and its tin(IV) complex, dichlorobutyltin(IV) 2-acetylpyridine 4-ethyl-3-thiosemicarbazone ($Sn(HAcETSc)BuCl_2$) on mild steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) was studied using weight loss measurement, potentiodynamic polarisation, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The inhibition efficiency increases by increasing the inhibitor concentrations. The polarisation study showed that both synthesised compounds were mixed type inhibitors. The electrochemical impedance study showed that the presence of inhibitors caused the charge transfer resistance to increase as the concentration of inhibitors increased. The adsorption of these compounds on mild steel surface was found to obey Langmuir's adsorption isotherm with the free energy of adsorption ${\Delta}G{^o}_{ads}$ of -3.7 kJ/mol and -7.7 kJ/mol for ligand and complex respectively, indicating physisorption interaction between the inhibitors and 1 M HCl solution.

New ITO thin film of good performance has been developed by brand-new, plasma-damage-free sputtering process at the room temperature. The room temperature-processed ITO films with optimized conditions as neutral beam acceleration bias of -30V and In & Sn composition ratio of 99:01 gives lower resistivity as $4.22{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}-cm$ and higher transmittance over 90% a wavelength of 550 nm. The transmission electron microscope (TEM) images of the films show a nano-crystalline structure.

Tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) thin films were deposited using r.f. magnetron reactive sputtering and the electrical properties, such as the resistivity, carrier concentration and mobility, were investigated as a function of the sample position under a given magnetron sputtering condition. The nonhomogeneity of the electrical properties with the sample position was observed under a given magnetron sputtering condition. The resistivity of ITO thin film on the substrate which corresponded to the center of the target had a minimum value, 2∼4$\times$10$\^$-4/$\Omega$$.$cm, and it increased symmetrically when the substrate deviated from the center. The density measurement result also showed that ITO thin film deposited at the center has a maximum density of 7.0g/cm$^3$, which was a relative density of about 97%, and the density decreased symmetrically as the substrate deviated from the center. The nonhomogeneity of electrical properties with the deposition position could be explained with the incidence angle of the source beam alpha, which is related with an atomic self-shadowing effect. It was confirmed experimentally that the density in film affect both the carrier mobility and the conductivity. In the case where the density of ITO thin film is 7.0g/cm$^3$, the magnitude of the mean free path was identical with that of the grain size(the diameter of column). However, in the other cases, the mean free path was smaller than the grain size. These results showed that the scattering of the free electrons at the grain boundary is the major factor for the electrical conduction in ITO thin films having a high density, and there exists other scattering sources such as vacancies, holes, or pores in ITO thin films having a low density.ing a low density.

Chromate conversion coating is a coating technique used to passivate aluminum, zinc, cadmium, copper, silver, magnesium, tin, and their alloys to slow corrosion. The process uses various toxic chromium compounds, which may include hexavalent chromium. The industry is developing less toxic alternatives in order to comply with substance restriction legislation, such as RoHS. One alternative is to develop a Cr-free coating solution. In this study, eco-friendly, Cr-free solutions (urethane solution S-700, organic/inorganic solution with Si LRO-317) were used. Test specimens were dried in a drying oven at $190^{\circ}C$ for 3, 5, 7, and 9 minutes. Corrosion resistance was evaluated using a salt spray test for 72 hours. The results show that the optimum corrosion resistance was achieved at $190^{\circ}C$ for five minutes for EGI and three or five minutes for HDGI, respectively. The adhesive properties of the two types of coating solutions were superior regardless of drying time.

Tin-doped In2O3 (ITO) films were fabricated using a d.c. magnetron reactive sputteirng of a In-10 wt% Sn alloy target in an Ar and O2 gas mixture. To understand the behavior of the carrier mobility in ITO films with O2 partial pressure, the resistivity, carrier concentration and mobility, film density, and intrinsic stress in the films were measured with O2 partial pressure. It was found experimentally that the carrier mobility increased rapidly as the film density increased. In the ITO film with the density close to theoretical one, the mean free path was the same as the columnar diameter. This indicated that the mobility in ITO films was strongly influenced by the crystall size. However, in the case where the film density was smaller than a theoretical density, the mean free paths were also smaller the columnar diameter. It was analyzed that the electron scattering at pores and holes within the crystalline was the major obstacle for electron conduction in ITO films. The measurement of intrinsic stress in ITO films also made it clear that the density of ITO films was controlled by the bombardment of oxygen neutrals on the growing film.

Good-to-excellent yields of 2,3-Disubstituted norbornenes (or norbornanes) were obtained using a Pd/Cu catalyzed three-component ternary coupling reaction of aryl halides, norbornadiene (or norbornene), and alkynols in toluene at $100{\circ}C$ in the presence of 5.5 M NaOH as a base and benzyltriethylammonium chloride as a phase transfer catalyst. The results of experiments using various aromatic halides suggest that the ternary coupling reaction is promoted by bromide.

This paper is relative to the electroless deposition of nickel or copper films on polyimide and polytetrafluoroethylene substrates. First, it is presented an original approach of the electroless process which consists in grafting nitrogenated functionalities on the polymer surfaces via plasma or VUV-assisted treatments operating in a nitrogen-based atmosphere ($NH_3$, $N_2$), and then in catalysing the grafted surfaces in an aqueous tin-free, Pd(+2)-based solution. Adhesion of the Pd(+2) catalytic species on polymer surfaces is explained by the formation of strong covalent bonds between these species and the grafted nitrogenated groups. Second, it is show how a fragmentation test performed in conjunction with electrical measurements can be used to characterize the practical adhesion of the electroless coatings deposited on flexible polymer substrates, and to evidence the influence of some experimental parameters (plasma treatment time and nature of the gas phase).

In this study, stable PbTiO3 coating solution was prepared using diethanolamine(DEA) complexing agent and deposited on indium-tin oxide(ITO) coated glass substrate. Prepared thin films were dense and crack-free. Perovskite-type PbTiO3 thin films could be obtained above 50$0^{\circ}C$, while the films heat-treated above $650^{\circ}C$ showed undesired properties due to interface reactions between films and substrates and warpage phenomena of substrates. Measured maximum dielectric constant and loss tangent were found to be 144 and 0.0163 at 1 kHz, 55$0^{\circ}C$ heat-treatment, respectively.
