ZnS is a wide band gap material which was proposed as a possible candidate to replace
CdS as a buffer layer in solar cells. However, the structural and optical properties are …

In this work, novel W-Zr-B coatings were developed by a hybrid process combining pulsed
laser deposited ZrB 2 and radio frequency magnetron sputtered W 2 B 5. The influence of …

In this work,(W, Ti) B 2 films with different stoichiometric ratio Ti/W deposited on silicon and
304 stainless steel by radio frequency magnetron sputtering are presented. The coatings …

The surface sintering approach was examined in the present manuscript to obtain single
cathode material consisting of multiple elements. Design of electromagnetic discharge …

Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST-225) is a chalcogenide material with applications in nonvolatile
memories. However, chalcogenide material properties are dependent on the deposition …

Sputter-deposited transition metal diborides are subject of increasing attention for protective
hard coatings. However, they suffer from high brittleness and rapid oxidation. Alloying with …

For improving the thickness and property of WB coating prepared using atomic diffusion
theory, the behavior and mechanism for B atom diffusing across W grain boundary (GB) …

Tungsten borides (WB x; x= 2.5 or 4.5) with an increasing substitution of tungsten by
zirconium from 0 to 24 at.% were synthesized by spark plasma sintering (SPS) for the first …

We study microstructure, mechanical, and corrosion properties of Zr 1-x Cr x B y coatings
deposited by hybrid high-power impulse/DC magnetron co-sputtering (CrB 2-HiPIMS/ZrB 2 …

The adhesive bonds that ensure the appropriate mechanical properties for metal joining
imply the surface chemical and wetting modification characteristics of the substrates. In this …
