The need to develop sustainable energy solutions is an urgent requirement for society, with
the additional requirement to limit dependence on critical raw materials, within a virtuous …

Hierarchical or one-dimensional architectures are among the most exciting developments in
material science these recent years. We present a nanostructured TiO2 assembly combining …

A template-free process for the synthesis of nanocrystalline TiO 2 hierarchical
microstructures by reactive pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is here presented. By a proper …

Alumina is technologically exploited in several forms, ranging from compact hard films as
protective coatings to open microstructures of high specific area as supports for catalysts …

Current research on transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) is focusing on indium-free TCOs,
such as Al-doped ZnO (AZO), as an alternative to indium–tin oxide. In this work, AZO thin …

An experimental investigation of nanostructured, micrometer-thick, tungsten films deposited
by pulsed laser deposition is presented. The films are compact and pore-free, with crystal …

The structure–property relation of nanostructured Al-doped ZnO thin films has been
investigated in detail through a systematic variation of structure and morphology, with …

Metallic amorphous tungsten-oxygen and amorphous tungsten-oxide films, deposited by
Pulsed Laser Deposition, are characterized. The correlation is investigated between …

N-type Bi2Te2. 7Se0. 3 thermoelectric thin films with thickness 800nm have been deposited
on glass substrates by flash evaporation method at 473K. Annealing effects on the …

Energetic and high fluence helium ions emitted in a plasma focus device have been used
successfully to study the radiation induced damage on tungsten. The reference and …
