Study The Influence of Immersion in The Synthesis of Thin Layers on a Composite Substrates.
Dip coating is a common liquid deposition technique used in research and also for industrial production to produce polymeric, hybrid, and inorganic thin films of controlled thickness. During liquid deposition, the substrate withdrawal rate allows, in principle, easy tuning of the deposited film thickness. However, experimentally, unexplained thickness irreproducibility or strong fluctuations of sol-gel films are often observed when coating large substrates, which is a critical problem for optical coatings such as anti-reflective/reflective coatings. In this study, we present improved coatings obtained by sol gel-like multilayer structures composed of ZrO2-Y2O3 coating. The phase composition and morphology were analyzed by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) suitable for characterizing the surface properties of the obtained materials.
