The quest for nanoscaling has extended beyond traditional metal oxides (1-4) and metal
(0),(5) as exemplified by the huge development of “quantum dots” chalcogenide …

We review the thin film growth, chemistry, and physical properties of Group 4–6 transition-
metal diboride (TMB 2) thin films with AlB 2-type crystal structure (Strukturbericht designation …

This book reviews the current state-of-the art of single layer silicene up to thicker silicon
nanosheets, and their structure, properties and potential applications. Silicene is a newly …

Zirconium diboride (ZrB 2) exhibits high hardness and high melting point, which is beneficial
for applications in for eg metal cutting. However, there is limited data on the mechanical …

The review is concerned with methods of synthesis of nanopowders, nanowires and films
based on titanium, zirconium and hafnium diborides. Methods for consolidation of …

ZrB 2 thin films have been synthesized using direct current magnetron sputtering from a ZrB
2 compound target onto 4H-SiC (0001) and Si (100) substrates kept at different …

Purpose: To explore what work-related dilemmas are experienced by patients with early
rheumatoid arthritis (RA), according to their own descriptions, and to interpret this in terms of …

The electronic structure of epitaxial, predominantly single-crystalline thin films of zirconium
diboride (ZrB 2)⁠, a lattice-matching, conductive ceramic to GaN, grown on Si (111) was …

Fabrication of transition metal diboride coatings via electrophoretic deposition in molten
salts has been recently proposed, however, the influence of the process parameters on the …

Epitaxial ZrB2 thin films were deposited at a temperature of 900° C on 4H‐SiC (0001) and Si
(111) substrates by magnetron sputtering from a ZrB2 source at a high rate∼ 80 nm/min …
