Photocatalytic zinc gallate thin films were fabricated by aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD). The photocatalytic enhancement of ZnGa 2 O 4 -β-Ga 3 compared with results from heterojunction interface facilitating charge separation.

We report the structural and tribological characterization of nanostructured CNx thin films produced by the deposition of a supersonic carbon cluster beam assisted by nitrogen ion bombardment. The influence of the deposition parameters on the chemical composition and structure of the films has been systematically studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, elastic recoil detection analysis, tr...

Hafnium dioxide films have been produced by plasma ion assisted electron beam evaporation, utilizing argon or xenon as working gases. The optical constants of the layers have been investigated by spectrophotometry, while X-ray reflection measurements (XRR), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) have been performed with selected samples. The corre...

in the past decades, many methods have been developed to synthesize zero- dimensional  nanoparticles, quasi–one–dimensional (1d) cuo nanostructures, such as metal organic deposition technique,  microwave irradiation, sol-gel-like dip  technique, reverse micelle-assisted route, chemical method, and simple template free solution route. among those synthesis methods, hydrothermal and chemical reac...

In this study, thin layers of titanium nitride (TiN) were deposited on H13 steel substrates at different duty cycles and temperature of 520 ˚C using plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition (PACVD). Uniaxial residual stress was calculated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Sin2 Ψ method. Then the residual stress of the samples were measured by Grazing Incidence X-ray Diffraction (GIXRD) method and...

Plasma-Assisted Deposition of TiO2 Nanomembranes In article number 2100767, Laura Montes, Carmen López-Santos, Ana Borrás, and co-workers develop nanofibers by soft-template plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition on porous substrates as cellulose filters metallic meshes. These 3D nanomembranes work microliter water/oil droplets filters, photoactive microfluidic valves, or self-cleaning surfa...

Silicon dioxide has many desirable properties as a coating material for the visible and near JR spectrum. These include low index, high transmittance, good adhesion, and environmental durability. The deposition of the material from solid discs or granular forms using an electron beam gun tends to have a fluctuating angular distribution. This causes reproducibility problems in some critical opti...

Nowadays, the semiconductor nanowires (NWs) typically used in hydrogen gas sensors. Gallium nitride (GaN) with a wide band gap of 3.4 eV, is one of the best semiconductors for this function. NWs surface roughness have important role in gas sensors performance. In this research, GaN NWs have been synthesized on Si substrate by plasma-assisted vapor phase deposition at different deposition time, ...
