If the medium surrounding a nano‐grain does not support the vibrational wavenumbers of a
material, the optical and acoustic phonons get confined within the grain of the …

The oxides of copper (CuxO) are fascinating materials due to their remarkable optical,
electrical, thermal and magnetic properties. Nanostructuring of CuxO can further enhance …

In this study, effect of the post-deposition thermal annealing on copper oxide thin films has
been systemically investigated. The copper oxide thin films were chemically deposited on …

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting for hydrogen production is a promising
technology that uses sunlight and water to produce renewable hydrogen with oxygen as a …

Controlled thermal oxidations of thin copper films at relatively lower temperatures (up to 500
C) leading towards the formation of a single phase of copper oxide are investigated where …

Ion beam irradiation is a potential tool for phase formation and material modification as a
non-equilibrium technique. Localized rise in temperature and ultra fast (∼ 10− 12 s) …

Copper oxide thin films with thickness of 0.45 μm were chemically deposited on glass
substrates by dipping the microscope glass slide for 20 s each in 1 M NaOH and copper …

In the present paper, we report a detailed study on the sodium (Na) doping-induced
modifications in the copper oxide (CuO) nanostructure and its properties. A facile and …

Thin films of copper oxide were deposited by thermal evaporation of cuprous oxide (Cu2O)
powder. The substrates were either unheated or heated to a temperature of 300° C. The …

Copper-graphite composites in reciprocating sliding against copper are investigated with
regards to friction, wear and contact resistance. The tribological and electrical evaluation is …
