ZnO and AlN, which exhibit the wurtzite structure, were deposited onto metal coated SiO2 substrates by sputtering. X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated that the films contained no second phases and exhibited an [0001] texture. Transmission electron microscopy ...
The dissolution and transformation of soddyite ([UO2]2SiO4·2H2O) have been examined in aqueous suspension at pH 6 and 0.01 M NaNO3. Soddyite is an important component of the paragenetic sequence of secondary minerals that arises from the weathering of uran ...
Surface nitriding of tetragonal zirconia (t-ZrO2) has been performed with the aim of combining the optical properties of zirconium nitride (ZrN) with the hardness and toughening properties of tetragonal zirconia. A high current d.c. arc plasma source has b ...
Intermetallic thin films of stoichiometric NiAl and Ni3Al have been deposited onto n-type silicon (100) and nickel (110) substrates using r.f.-magnetron co-sputtering. The morphology and crystal structure of the thin films have been studied by transmission ...
Piezoelectric coatings of PbZrxTi1-xO3 (PZT) were deposited on standard telecommunication fibers. The PZT coatings were produced by reactive de magnetron sputtering of metal targets in pure oxygen atmosphere. The deposition was carried out at substrate tem ...
Pb1-xCaxTiO3 thin films with x = 0-0.3 for pyroelectric applications were deposited on platinized silicon wafers by chemical solution processing. Ca-substitution for Pb in PbTio(3) results in a reduced cia ratio of the unit cell, which, in turn, leads to b ...
Batch equilibrations were performed to investigate the ability of hydroxyapatite (Ca5(PO4)3OH) to chemically immobilize U in two contaminated sediment samples having different organic carbon contents (123 and 49 g kg-1, respectively). Apatite additions low ...
Backscattered electron (BSE) images of heat-cured concretes show alite grains surrounded by inner C-S-H gel of two distinct grey levels (referred to as two-tone inner C-S-H gel). The lighter rim forms at elevated temperature whereas the darker rim develops ...
Microcrystalline hydrogenated silicon films (muc-Si:H) have been deposited by a high current DC plasma in argon-silane-hydrogen mixtures at growth rates up to 10 nm/s and at substrate temperatures below 500 degreesC. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray dif ...
Calcium phosphate precipitation obtained from aqueous solutions at room and body temperatures and pH 5.5-7.5 were investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), transmission electron diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM ...
