Due to its electrical, optical, and mechanical properties, tin oxide coatings can be found in a wide range of applications. Fluorine doped tin oxides are transparent for visible light, highly reflective for infrared radiation, and may have a sheet resistance down to 3 Ω/square. These thin films are used in architectural windows for reflecting heat [1], in solar cells for carrying the cell’s cur...

Titanium Nitride (TiN) is a wear resistant and complementary metal oxide silicon (CMOS) compatible material that is increasingly being investigated for MEMS applications. Incorporating any new material into a MEMS device requires the development of a processing strategy. This paper discusses a wet-etching strategy for patterning and releasing TiN features on Cr sacrificial layers. Filtered arc ...

It is challenging to integrate porous graphene foam (GF) and GF-based nanocomposites into microfluidic channels and even create microfluidic structures within these materials. This is because their irregular interior pore shape and geometry, rough exterior surface, and relatively large material thickness make it difficult to perform conventional photolithography and etching. This challenge has ...

Crystals of the title dysprosium tin sulfide oxide, Dy(8)SnS(13)S(1-x)O(x) [x = 0.39 (4)], were obtained unintentionally from the Dy-Sn-S system. A statistical mixture of sulfur and oxygen was assumed for one position in the structure. S and O atoms surround each of the eight symmetrically non-equivalent dysprosium atoms. The Sn atoms are located in tetra-hedral surroundings of sulfur atoms. Tr...

A novel lithium ion sulfur battery is formed by coupling an activated ordered mesoporous carbon-sulfur (AOMC-S) cathode and a nanostructured tin-carbon anode. The lithium ion cell has improved reversibility, high energy content and excellent cycle life.

the improvement of the physical properties of indium tin oxide (ito) layers is quite advantageous in photovoltaic applications. in this study the ito film is deposited by rf sputtering onto p-type crystalline silicon (c-si) with (100) orientation, multicrystalline silicon (mc-si), and glass substrates coated with zno and annealed in vacuum furnace at 400°c. electrical, optical, structural and m...

Self-cleansing of transition metal nitrides is discovered to take place during ultrahigh vacuum annealing of TiN, NbN, and VN thin films. Native oxide layers from air exposure disappear after isothermal anneal at 1000 °C. Also, for TiN, the Ti 2p and N 1s X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) recorded after the anneal are identical to those obtained from insitu grown and analyzed epitaxial TiN(001)...

titanium nitride-copper (tin-cu) nanocomposite films were deposited onto stainless steel substrate using hollow cathode discharge ion plating technique. the influence of cu content in the range of 2-7 at.% on the microstructure, morphology and mechanical properties of deposited films were investigated. structural properties of the films were studied by x-ray diffraction pattern. topography of t...
