Manganese nitride films have been successfully fabricated by the technique of plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD). The process employed bis(N,N'-di-tert-butylacetamidinate)manganese [Mn(amd)2] as manganese precursor and ammonia plasma as a coreactant. With a typical PEALD process cycle of 5 s Mn(amd)2 pulse, 10 s Ar purge pulse, 10 s NH3 plasma exposure, 10 s Ar purge pulse, 80 °C deposition temperature, and 60 W input power, the deposited film is continuous and smooth with a growth rate is 0.037 nm/cycle. Based on x-ray diffraction measurement, the film is determined to be η-Mn3N2 crystal structure. The primary deposition mechanism has been investigated by in situ optical emission spectroscopy and quartz crystal microbalance. The deposited manganese nitride film shows an excellent barrier performance against copper diffusion at insulator/copper interface.

3D-printed acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) polymer structures were coated with alumina (Al2O3) using the trimethylaluminum(III) and water atomic layer deposition (ALD) process at 80 °C, which resulted in a 203 nm thin film with a 1.35 Å growth per cycle. This thin film was a well-adhered protective overcoating on ABS to prevent reaction with acetone vapors in a solvent resistance experiment. Scratch tests were not able to remove the overcoating from the polymer surface, which provided a 50% and 32% increase in acetone vapor resistance before initial deformation and complete structure collapse, respectively. A more aggressive tape test caused delamination of the protective coating. This proof-of-concept experiment demonstrates how 3D printing combined with ALD overcoating can alter the chemical characteristics of complex polymer architectures.

The propensity of trace amounts of sulfur adsorbed on coinage metal(111) surfaces to dramatically enhance surface dynamics has been demonstrated by STM observations of accelerated 2D island decay for Cu and Ag. It is generally accepted that this enhancement is due to the formation of adsorbed metal-sulfur complexes which facilitate surface mass transport of the metal. These complexes were originally proposed to form on terraces following extraction of metal atoms from step edges and subsequent combination with sulfur on the terraces.

Surface diffusion on metal oxides is key in many areas of materials technology, yet it has been scarcely explored at the atomic scale. This work provides phenomenological insights from scanning tunneling microscopy on the link between surface diffusion, surface atomic structure, and oxygen chemical potential based on three model oxide surfaces: Fe2O3[Formula: see text], La1− xSr xMnO3(110), and In2O3(111). In all instances, changing the oxygen chemical potential used for annealing stabilizes reconstructions of different compositions while promoting the flattening of the surface morphology—a sign of enhanced surface diffusion. It is argued that thermodynamics, rather than kinetics, rules surface diffusion under these conditions: the composition change of the surface reconstructions formed at differently oxidizing conditions drives mass transport across the surface.
