Advanced ceramic materials such as zirconia have great potential as substitutes for
traditional materials in many biomedical applications. Since the end of the 1990s, the form of …

Materials Under Extreme Conditions: Recent Trends and Future Prospects analyzes the
chemical transformation and decomposition of materials exposed to extreme conditions …

Sub-micron thick yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) layers (t= 400–700nm) containing 3 (3YSZ)
or 8mol.%(8YSZ) Y2O3 with microstructures ranging from isotropic amorphous to columnar …

We present the methodological framework of the Swanepoel method for the
spectrophotometric determination of optical properties in thin films using transmittance data …

Densification of ZrO2–3 mol.% Y2O3 sol–gel thin films after heating in air at 100° C≤ T≤
1100° C is investigated, with particular emphasis on porosity evaluation. For this purpose …

Zirconium oxide thin films were deposited by direct current (dc) reactive magnetron
sputtering on glass slide, silicon wafer and stainless steel substrates. The thickness of the …

Polysulfone (PSF) membranes are broadly applied in many fields owing to good
physicochemical stability, resistance to oxidation and chlorine. But when treated with …

ZrO2 thin films were prepared by electron beam evaporation at different oxygen partial
pressures. The influences of oxygen partial pressure on structure and related properties of …

The residual stress in ZrO2 thin films prepared by electron beam evaporation was measured
by viewing the substrate deformation using an optical interferometer. The influences of …

ZrO2 thin films were deposited onto Si wafers and glass slides by reactive rf magnetron
sputtering with varying conditions of substrate temperature (Ts). Structural analysis was …
