The influence of oxygen content on the properties of cathodic arc-deposited AlCr(OxN1-x) coatings has been studied. All samples were prepared in a nitrogen-rich mixture of N-2 and O-2 at 550 degrees C using lateral rotating arc cathodes (LARC) technology t ...
Because of their outstanding mechanical and chemical properties, transition metal nitrides are widely accepted materials in the protective coatings industry. This work aims at elucidating the origin of their exceptional properties. The study concentrates o ...
Nanostructure ZnO hollow microspheres with average crystallite size of about 15 nm, and average diameters of about 1 mu m, were successfully fabricated through a novel hydrothermal method. Hollow microspheres were formed due to self-assembly of ZnO oblong ...
We explored a synthesis route based on the polymer complex solution method for the production of the rare-earth doped Lu2O3 crystalline nanopowders. In this type of synthesis polyethylene glycol is used both as fuel for the combustion reaction, and as nucl ...
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to study the porous and non-porous alpha-tricalcium phosphate (alpha-Ca-3(PO4)(2), alpha-TCP) prepared through a sintering procedure at 1200-1400 degrees C of beta-tricalcium phos ...
Aluminum rich oxynitride thin films were prepared using pulsed direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering from an Al95.5Cr2.5Si2 (at.%) target. Two series of films were deposited at 400 degrees C and 650 degrees C by changing the O-2/(O-2 + N-2) ratio in the ...
Syntheses of ZSM-5 coatings on stainless steel plates were carried out via the substrate heating method. The reaction mixture was kept at temperatures below 100 °C, while the metal plates were heated to temperatures above 100 °C. It was demonstrated that c ...
The structure and the associated dynamics of a series of poly(?-benzyl-L-glutamate)-b-poly(dimethyl siloxane)-b-poly(?-benzyl-L-glutamate) (PBLG-b-PDMS-b-PBLG) triblock copolymers were investigated using small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering, NMR, transmi ...
The microstructure of titanium alloys (Ti–1Al–1Mn, Ti–6Al–4V) nitrided under glow discharge was characterised using light microscopy, X-ray diffraction and analytical electron microscopy. The investigations revealed a complex multilayered microstructure pr ...
The incommensurately modulated scheelite-like KSm(MoO4)2 structure has been refined in the monoclinic superspace group I2/b(ab0)00 by the Rietveld method on the basis of synchrotron radiation powder diffraction data. The systematic broadening of satellite ...
