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 …
Near equiatomic and Ti-rich Ni–Ti polycrystalline films have been deposited by magnetron co-sputtering using a chamber installed at a synchrotron radiation beamline. The in situ X …
It is essential to identify and control the preferential orientation of Ni-Ti shape memory alloy (SMA) films since it is a crucial factor in determining the shape memory behavior. In the …
Due to the high sensitivity of Ni–Ti films to environmental changes, eg thermal, and/or to stress, they are ideal materials for applications on micro-sensors. It was aimed to obtain Ni …
The study of Ni-Ti shape memory alloy films is of great technological interest for applications in the field of microengineering. They can work as sensors and actuators at the same time …
Abstract In this work, Intermetallic NiTi thin films have been prepared using glancing angle DC magnetron sputtering technique on Si (1 0 0) substrate maintained at room temperature …
The Shape Memory Effect on Ni-Ti thin films is strongly dependent on several factors:(i) chemical composition of the matrix,(ii) presence of precipitates and (iii) preferential …
