Unimolecular rectification was detected between oxide-free Au electrodes for a Langmuir−
Blodgett (LB) monolayer of the zwitterionic D+-π-A-molecule hexadecylquinolinium …

Thin films of platinum deposited by physical vapor deposition (PVD) processes such as
evaporation and sputtering are used in many academic and industrial settings, for example …

Nafion thin films (~ 500 Å) spin coated onto the Pt and Au layers on Si are investigated for
water uptake and swelling. Neutron Reflectometry data demonstrate that these structures …

In this work, platinum silicide formation on selected semiconductors surfaces: Si (1 0 0), Si (1
1 1), 4H-SiC (0 0 0 1) and graphene–4H-SiC (0 0 0 1), via thermal annealing and …

Composites of polyphenylene sulfide reinforced with Kevlar 29 fiber were prepared by
compression molding. The friction and wear behavior of the composites was examined with …

A series of platinum-coated underlayer materials, alumina, gold, titanium carbide, and
titanium disilicide, deposited by a high throughput magnetron sputtering method have been …

Argon pressure in the 10 to 200 mTorr range was shown to have a profound effect on the
deposition characteristics of nonreactive platinum. Two features were observed. The film …

Formation process and surface structure of platinum silicide thin layers have been studied
using scanning tunneling microscopy. The investigated structures have been grown by solid …

This study fabricates three types of nanostructured conductive transparent films using a
rotational-sequential-sputtering method. These films include (1) TiO 2/indium-tin oxide (ITO) …
