Cu-Mo and Cu-Ti contact structures were fabricated on multi-crystalline silicon substrates to provide a low resistance ohmic contact. Deposition steps are done in an excellent vacuum chamber by means of electron beam evaporation and samples are then annealed for the realization of an efficient alloy layer. The effects of process parameters such as film thickness, annealing duration and temp...

The state-of-the-art in modelling of internal corrosion of oil and gas pipelines made from carbon steel is reviewed. The review covers the effects of: electrochemistry, water chemistry, formation of protective scales and scales, temperature, flow, steel, inhibition, water condensation, glycol/methanol and localized attack. Various mathematical modelling strategies are discussed. 2007 Elsevier L...

This paper demonstrates that the pattern of silver particles embedded in the gelatin matrix of exposed and developed silver halide-based photographic film can serve as a template in a broadly applicable method for the microfabrication of metallic microstructures. In this method, a CAD file is reproduced in the photographic film by exposure and developing. The resulting pattern of discontinuous ...

Acid rain is a major problem for animals, plants, buildings, and also the top glass of photovoltaic (PV) solar panels greenhouses. Air pollutants such as NOx, NH3, H2S can mix with water in atmosphere to form acid rain. It was discovered that atmospheric vapor adsorbed on surface lead corrosion surface. The purpose this work obtain protective film glasses used different domains cells, windows, ...

There are many areas of application in everyday life where a thin film (from few nanometers to micrometers) conductive or semiconductive oxide substantially modifies the chemical, optical, electrical, thermal, catalytic, mechanical and surface properties substrate it covers [...]

In this series of experiments steel wires in a bath of 65 per cent nitric acid have been submitted to polarization by somewhat the same technique as that applied to nerve (Bishop and Erlanger, 1926), in the hope of further elucidating both the functioning of nerve and of the metastable steel-acid system itself. Similarities between this model and nerve have been studied particularly by Lillie (...

With the rapid progress and wide application of Li-ion batteries, commercial graphite anode can not satisfy the increasing demand for higher capacities. Like other anode materials with higher capacities, silicon materials as anodes remain serious problems for their large volume variations and poor cyclabilities during cycling. One of key problem is how to stabilize the performances of Si anode ...
