The rise of the materials genome and materials informatics has enabled the accelerated
development of robust surfaces for harsh service environments in the nuclear, aerospace …

Extreme cooling rates during physical vapor deposition (PVD) allow growth of metastable
phases. However, we propose that reactive PVD processes can be described by a gas–solid …

Metastable titanium aluminum nitride coatings are widely applied in cutting and forming
applications. Although it is generally accepted that the phase formation of metastable TiAlN …

Metastable transition metal aluminum nitride (TMAlN, TM= Ti, V) thin films are today
deposited utilizing ionized vapor phase condensation techniques where variations in ion …

As interest in new generations of nuclear reactors is increasing worldwide, development of
accident tolerant fuel (ATF) cladding materials is crucial but suffers from large amounts of …

Titanium‐Tantalum coatings are deposited by magnetron co‐sputtering technique, using
independently driven titanium and tantalum targets. The effect of the Ta content on the …

Thin films within the immiscible binary Cu-Mo system were synthetized by dc magnetron
sputter co-deposition and studied over the entire composition range. In the as-deposited …

A series of Cu-W films with the W content higher than 17.2 at% were prepared by magnetron
sputtering focused co-deposition technology. The micro-structures and nanoidentation …

CuFeO2, the structure prototype of the delafossite family, has received renewed interest in
recent years. Thermodynamic modeling and several experimental Cu–Fe–O system …

Metastable binary systems with positive enthalpy of mixing have practically no diffusional
data in literature. Experimental data on Cu diffusion in amorphous immiscible systems such …
