Ferroelectric Al 1− x Sc x N has raised much interest in recent years due to its unique
ferroelectric properties and complementary metal oxide semiconductor back-end-of-line …

Surface roughness seriously affects the electromagnetic performance of capacitive radio
frequency (RF) micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) switches. This review presents the …

Zr–N thin films were deposited on Si (100) substrate by reactive sputtering using a pulsed
DC magnetron sputtering technique. It was found that films deposited at 773K and 1sccm of …

Transition metal carbides (TMC) are known for their improved tribological properties and are
sensitive to the tribo-atmospheric environment. Nanocrystalline molybdenum carbide (MoC) …

Pure zirconia (ZrO 2) and ceria (16 mol%) stabilized zirconia (CeSZr) thin films were
prepared by electron beam physical vapor deposition with varying deposition rates (1, 4 and …

High power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) discharges with a zirconium target are
studied experimentally and by applying the ionization region model (IRM). The measured …

Tribological behaviour of ZrN coatings deposited on titanium modified austenitic stainless
steel (alloy D-9) substrates is investigated. The coatings were deposited in the deposition …

In the present work, gadolinium zirconate (Gd 2 Zr 2 O 7) coatings have been developed on
Inconel-718 substrates by electron beam physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD) technique …

Growth aspects of barium strontium titanate, Ba 0.6 Sr 0.4 TiO 3 (BST) thin films grown on Si
(100) and quartz substrates by pulsed laser deposition technique were investigated. The …

A TiSi 2–NbSi 2 composite coating has been successfully prepared on Nb–Si based
ultrahigh temperature alloys via firstly magnetron sputtering a Ti–5Al–10Nb–2Zr (at.%) thin …
