Coating nano particles and other substrates for efficiency enhancement, protection and obtaining new atomic structures is a widespread research topic in catalysis and material synthesis. Thus far, different approaches of coating, ranging from simplest to s ...
Application of a single metal or alloy is often restricted by its properties from optimal combination of performance and cost. Therefore, there is a vast need of joining dissimilar metals for various applications in biomedical, aerospace, automobile and ma ...
Continuous development of thin film deposition technologies is essential for the fabrication of films that meet the specific requirements of their target applications and working conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the number of accessible a ...
Modern envelope glazing relies on nanoscale coatings to meet a range of specific needs. Low emissivity coatings can improve the thermal performance of glazing thanks to a thin metallic film. However, the conductive nature of this layer leads to an attenuat ...
Ten runs of silicon nitride LPCVD (Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition) depositions were performed with a different recipe for each run. The goal of this work was to examine properties of silicon nitride and their variation with regards to the depositio ...
Hafnium Carbide (HfC) is a refractory ceramic known for its exceptional properties, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. This project investigates the potential utilization of HfC in Micro or Nano Electromechanical Systems (MEMS/NEMS) and e ...
Thin film coatings are ubiquitous in modern daily lives, from the semi-conductor industry to aesthetic applications, and rely on the modification of a given material to enhance its surface properties.
At CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research), t ...
H-SA700 is a type of new ultra-high-strength structural steel that is more environmentally friendly and more suitable for mass production than conventional high-strength steel. The objective of this paper is to contribute to the practical application of CF ...
