This review provides details of the global scenario on the recent development and
application of NiTi smart metal shape memory alloys (SMA). It mainly focuses on the dc/rf …

In the present study, a double bilayer of a Ni/Ti thin film was investigated. A nanoscale NiTi
thin film is deposited in a Ni–Ti–Ni–Ti manner to form a double‐bilayer structure on a Si …

Abstract Silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4) is an excellent engineering ceramic with high strength,
fracture toughness, wear resistance, and good chemical and thermal stability. Recently, the …

Thin films of NiTi were deposited by DC magnetron sputtering from an equiatomic alloy
target (Ni/Ti: 50/50 at.%). The films were deposited without intentional heating of the …

This work has been carried out to bring an innovative approach to the difficulties
encountered in the production of NiTi shape memory alloys by powder metallurgy (PM). For …

In this work, we report our studies on intermetallic NiTi thin films grown on silicon (1 0 0)
substrates by glancing angle DC-magnetron sputtering technique using separate sputter …

Near equiatomic Ni–Ti films have been deposited by magnetron co-sputtering on TiN films
with a topmost layer formed by< 111> oriented grains (TiN/SiO2/Si (100) substrate) in a …

In-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) was employed to study the effect of the deliberate change of
the Ti/Ni ratio during the deposition of Ni-Ti films. Thus, graded films were deposited …

Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) Ni–Ti thin films have attracted much interest as functional and
smart materials due to their unique properties. However, there are still important issues …

In this work, we report our studies on near equiatomic NiTi thin films grown on silicon (1 0 0)
substrates deposited without intentional heating of the substrate by DC magnetron …
