Solar photovoltaics (PV) offer viable and sustainable solutions to satisfy the growing energy
demand and to meet the pressing climate targets. The deployment of conventional PV …

Magnesium and magnesium thin alloy films were deposited using a thermionic vacuum arc
(TVA), which has multiple applications in the field of metallic electrodes for diodes and …

Nanocrystalline Mg was sputter deposited onto an Ar ion etched Si {100} substrate. Despite
an∼ 6 nm amorphous layer found at the interface, the Mg thin film exhibits a sharp basal …

Active plasmonic and nanophotonic systems require switchable materials with extreme
material contrast, short switching times, and negligible degradation. On the quest for these …

Switchable and active metasurfaces allow for the realization of beam steering, zoomable
metalenses, and dynamic holography. To achieve this goal, one has to combine high …

Continuous monitoring of hydrogen (H 2) concentration is critical for safer use, which can be
done using optical sensors. Palladium (Pd) is the most commonly used transducer material …

Photovoltaic windows that can be switched between transparent and energy harvesting
mode can be realized by using ultrathin solar absorbers embedded in an optical nanocavity …

Pd-capped nanocrystalline Mg films were prepared by electron beam evaporation and
hydrogenated under isothermal conditions to investigate the hydrogen absorption process …

In this work, the bioabsorbable materials, namely fibroin, polylactide acid (PLA), magnesium,
and magnesium oxide are investigated for their application as transient, resistive …

In this study, MgPd alloy thin films were deposited on a glass substrate using dc/RF
magnetron sputtering technique with varying sputtering power (30–60 W) of Pd target to …
