One approach to solving the energy shortage problem is to use low-friction components in
order to reduce energy consumption and increase component life. In this study, low-friction …

In this work, the influence of crystal structure on the friction coefficient of zinc oxide (ZnO)
films was studied. The ZnO films were deposited on a Si (100) substrate using an atomic …

TiO 2/ZnO films grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD) demonstrated nanotribological
behaviors using scratch testing. TEM profiles obtained an amorphous structure TiO 2 and …

Friction and wear can make the normal operation of zinc oxide (ZnO) films in many devices
impracticable. In this paper, the friction mechanism of ZnO films was studied. The ZnO films …

Single-crystal and microcrystalline ceramics classically fail via brittle fracture under loading.
Here, we report that atomic layer deposition {0002}-textured ZnO films, with nanocolumnar …

With excellent lubricating property, zinc oxide (ZnO) films are promising candidates to act as
protective coatings in Si-based microelectromechanical system devices for the purpose of …

The surface statistical properties of ZnO: N thin films deposited by metalorganic chemical
vapour deposition (MOCVD) with different precursor dopant mixtures were investigated. The …

Viscoelasticity is studied extensively in polymers and polymer-based composites-but hardly
in ceramics. We have studied viscoelastic behavior of three ceramics as manifested in …

Zinc oxide has justifiably been attracting attention in several fields, and the relatively new
field of tribology is not left out. Aside from its already extensively researched and …
