We report a positive exchange bias in thin film multilayers produced with nano-oxide layer. The positive exchange bias resulted from an antiferromagnetic interfacial exchange coupling between the ferromagnetic CoFe and the antiferromagnetic CoO layers, whi ...
The study of texture in thin films is one of the possibilities to obtain information on the fundamental physical processes which govern the thin film growth. Near the substrate, the crystalline orientation of the coating layer will usually be influenced by ...
Ion-bombardment-induced selective grain growth is a process that allows for full control of the orientation of vapor-deposited thin films, which can be converted from fiber-textured polycrystalline to single-crystal films. The main mechanisms behind this p ...
Ferritic ODS steels containing 14 or 18 wt.% Cr are produced by mechanical alloying (MA), hot consolidation and cold working. This study focuses on the evolution of interstitials such as oxygen, nitrogen and carbon at each stage of the fabrication route by ...
Titanium aluminum nitride ((Ti,Al)N) thin films are widely used as hard protective coating materials. Due to their remarkable tensile strength and elastic modulus carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are an ideal candidate as reinforcing components in such coatings. In ...
Irradiated austenitic stainless steels, because of their low stacking fault energy and high shear modulus, should exhibit a high ratio of stacking fault tetrahedra relative to the overall population of radiation induced nanometric defects. Experimental obs ...
In order to understand the texture formation mechanism in thin films grown under oblique angle deposition (OAD), TiAlN films were deposited at room temperature (RT) under various incident angles. We show that both in-plane and out-of-plane crystallographic ...
Mixed aluminum-chromium oxide coatings in the form of (Al,Cr)(2)O-3 solid solutions have attracted extensive research interest during the past years due to their successful use for challenging wear applications and the comparative ease of their moderate-te ...
We report on the increase of the Young's modulus (E) of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grown multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) upon high temperature heat treatment. The post heat-treatment at 2200-2800 degrees C in a controlled atmosphere results in a ...
We investigate various microstructural features of nanocrystalline electrodeposited Ni-Fe with a nominal iron content of 50% and compare them with the well-known nanocrystalline Ni system. In-depth electron microscopy analysis reveals the existence of larg ...
