In order to achieve good product quality in electroplating, disturbance variables such as the "dog bone" effect must be avoided. this work, approach was used develop a method for marking protection. With defined structure and optimal parameters, it is possible deposit unique visually non-differentiable layers on suitable substrates. The deposited their local distribution were characterized by c...

Electroplated rhodium foil was employed as the target for cyclotron production of palladium-103. An electrodissolution apparatus was found better than other dissolution methods in terms of personnel shielding and palladium-103 yield. The ion-exchange column chromatography method was simple and effective for the purification of palladium-103 and the final stripping agent of NH4Cl + NH3(1:1) was ...

We report tensile experiments on Ni80P20 metallic glass samples fabricated via a templated electroplating process and via focused ion beam milling, which differed only in their surface energy states: Ga-ion-irradiated and as-electroplated. Molecular dynamics simulations on similar Ni80Al20 systems corroborate the experimental results, which suggest that the transition from brittle to ductile be...

One of the most promising and heavily researched energy storage systems due to their high density, rate capability extended cycle life are lithium-ion batteries. Their performance efficiency nonetheless strongly dependent on constituent materials design, including current collectors. attractive approach in this respect is use metal foams as an alternative conventional This concept therefore int...

• Dropwise condensation on as-grown graphene electroplated Ni has been achieved. successfully promoted Cu using Ni-Gr coatings. Condensation rate enhanced up to 2.9 times higher than filmwise mode. The coatings are more robust the surface. (DWC) extensively investigated owing its substantially efficiency compared with (FWC). However, performing highly efficient DWC hindered by durability of exi...

The issue of beam-induced damage on diffractive hard X-ray optics is addressed. For this purpose a systematic study on the radiation damage induced by a high-power X-ray beam is carried out in both ambient and inert atmospheres. Diffraction gratings fabricated by three different techniques are considered: electroplated Au gratings both with and without the polymer mold, and Ir-coated Si grating...

A need t o find a suitable replacement for cadmium electroplated coatings on mediumto highstrength steels has accelerated the development of economically viable alternatives. This edited version of a presentation at the 30th annual AerospaceIAirline Plating & Metal Finishing Forum examines the development of Australia's Defence Science and Technology Organisation's (DSTO) zinc-nickel electropla...

Studies of the electropolishing of copper are reviewed. Recent work intended to demonstrate the electrochemical planarization of the overburden in electroplated copper interconnect metallization is emphasized. Furthermore, two common reaction mechanisms invoked to explain the mass-transfer limitation required to achieve electropolishing are outlined and discussed within the context of anodic le...

Copper electroplated profiles exhibit pattern dependent topography. We propose a methodology for the characterization and modeling of feature scale copper step heights and the height of copper array regions, as a function of layout parameters. The resulting empirical models with parameters extracted from conventional and super fill plating processes capture several key trends important in elect...
