The rechargeable aqueous Zn ion battery (ZIB) is a promising candidate for next-generation
energy storage technology due to its low cost, low flammability, inherent safety, and high …

We studied the electrical and optical properties, density, and crystalline structure of Au
nanostructures prepared by direct current sputtering on glass. We measured temperature …

Measuring intrinsic macro stresses in fibre-textured thin films have always been challenging.
Due to the nature of preferential orientation in these films, only d-spacings aligned with the …

Highly porous structures consisting of niobium nanoparticles (Nb NPs) are prepared using
magnetron sputtering and inert gas aggregation method. Alongside the thermally-driven …

Nb-coated Cu superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) cavities are of interest as a possible
alternative to bulk Nb cavities for particle accelerators due to the high thermal conductivity of …

Three optically transparent colorful (red, green, and blue) glasses were synthesized by the
sol-gel method. Nano-sized precipitates were found in scanning electron microscopy …

Gold nano-structures (clusters and layers) were sputtered on the glass substrate. Lattice
parameter was determined by X-ray diffraction. Density of Au nano-structures was calculated …

A convenient method is proposed for the measurement of the characteristic free volumes,
viz., the amount of excess free volume annihilation in structural relaxation V f-sr and the …

Structural and superconducting properties of high-quality niobium nanofilms with different
thicknesses are investigated on silicon oxide (SiO2) and sapphire substrates. The role …

The electric transport properties of flexible and transparent conducting bilayers, realized by
sputtering ultrathin gold nanometric layers on sodium–alginate free-standing films, were …
