Preparation and characteristics of Co-Cr films by EP magnetron co-sputtering technique.

Tailor-made preparation of Co–C, Co–B, and Co catalytic thin films using magnetron sputtering: insights into structure–composition and activation effects for catalyzed NaBH4 hydrolysis

Themagnetron sputtering (MS) methodology is a powerful tool for tailor-made fabrication of Co-based thin film catalysts with controlledmicrostructures and compositions for sodium borohydride (SBH) hydrolysis. In particular, Co–C catalysts were tested in this reaction and compared to Co–B and Co catalyst coatings. The microstructural and chemical analyses by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning and...

Transparent conducting impurity-co-doped ZnO:Al thin films prepared by magnetron sputtering

This report describes the effects of impurity-co-doping on transparent conducting Al-doped ZnO (AZO) films prepared by DC magnetron sputtering using a target composed of dopant powder added to a mixture of ZnO and Al O powder. The chemical 2 3 stability of transparent conducting AZO films could be improved by co-doping Cr or Co without significantly altering the original electrical and optical ...

Influence of aging temperature on phase transformation and mechanical behavior of NiTi thin films deposited by magnetron sputtering technique

In this study, NiTi thin films were deposited on the glass and NaCl substrates by means of magnetron sputtering method. The influence of aging temperature, over the range 300-500 oC, on phase transformation and mechanical properties of the sputtered NiTi thin films were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and nano-indentation assay, respectively. The DSC curves showed that the ag...

Preparation and characterization of self-assembled percolative BaTiO3–CoFe2O4 nanocomposites via magnetron co-sputtering

BaTiO3-CoFe2O4 composite films were prepared on (100) SrTiO3 substrates by using a radio-frequency magnetron co-sputtering method at 750 °C. These films contained highly (001)-oriented crystalline phases of perovskite BaTiO3 and spinel CoFe2O4, which can form a self-assembled nanostructure with BaTiO3 well-dispersed into CoFe2O4 under optimized sputtering conditions. A prominent dielectric perc...
