The abbreviation “nano-Calphad” stands for “Calculation of Phase Diagrams for nano-
systems.” Nano-systems contain at least one phase or at least one interface layer (film …

Abstract Two quaternary Ti–Nb–Si–N nanocomposite films, with differing Nb contents, were
deposited onto Ti–6Al–4V substrates using a double glow discharge plasma technique. The …

We give a comprehensive overview of the elastic properties of cubic quaternary transition
metal nitride alloys and coherent nitride multilayers for design of wear resistant hard …

We study the phase stability, mechanical properties, and electronic structure of two quasi-
binary ceramic systems, Ti 1-x Sc x N and Ti 1-x Y x N (0≤ x≤ 1), using first principles …

Iridescent cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) films with chiral nematic nanostructures exhibit great
potential in optical devices, sensors, painting, and anticounterfeiting applications. CNCs can …

The formation of crystalline and amorphous SiC films by single-composite target magnetron
sputter deposition process is demonstrated. In this process, graphite pieces were placed on …

Nb thin films were deposited onto Si wafers by direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering at
different deposition pressures. The microstructure and nanomechanical properties of Nb …

Current superconducting radio frequency technology, used in various particle accelerator
facilities across the world, is reliant upon bulk niobium superconducting cavities. Due to …

The optical reflectance, dielectric functions and phonon vibrational modes of Ti 1− x Nb x N
(0≤ x≤ 0.77) thin films are reported. Films of 500-nm thickness were deposited on 316LN …

Abstract (Ti, Al, Nb) N hard reactive films with N-gradient distribution are deposited on high-
speed steel substrates by multi-arc ion plating technology using Ti-50Al (at%) and Ti-25Nb …
