Primarily due to its inherent redox chemistry, ceria (CeO2) is of use in many diverse areas of
research. However, there is a wealth of misinterpretation of the oxygen spectra when …

The impact of discrete vacuum thermal evaporation (DVTE)-produced CdTe thin films after
thermal annealing and CdCl 2 treatment is discussed in the present article. As a result of …

The continuous reduction in feature size of integrated circuits has raised stricter material
removal selectivity and surface quality requirements for the chemical mechanical polishing …

One-dimensional (1D) core-sheath nanofibers, platinum (Pt)-loaded ceria (CeO2) sheath on
mesoporous silica (SiO2) core were fabricated, characterized, and used as catalysts for the …

Uranium dioxide (UO2), the primary fuel for commercial nuclear reactors, incorporates
excess oxygen forming a series of hyperstoichiometric oxides. Thin layers of these oxides …

Si/SiO2 interfaces, an important functional part of silicon-based devices, are the structures
most likely to cause failure. Under external load in the service state, Si/SiO2 interfaces can …

Combustion synthesis in uranyl nitrate–acetylacetone–2-methoxyethanol solutions was
used to deposit thin UO2 films on aluminum substrates to investigate the irradiation-induced …

Firstly, oxygen vacancy defects are intentionally introduced in the preparation process of TiO
2 nanotube arrays (TiO 2-NTAs) and porous silicon arrays (PSA) films through the anodic …

Spraying-assisted combustion synthesis with uranyl nitrate− acetylacetone− 2-
methoxyethanol solutions was used to prepare UO 2 films on an aluminum alloy substrate …

Bulk cerium film deposited on silicon was transformed into cerium oxide (CeO 2) by post-
sputter oxidation at 400, 600, 800, and 1000° C in nitrogen/oxygen/nitrogen ambient. The …
