Design of Metastable Tin Titanium Nitride Semiconductor Alloys

Titanium Alloys

Although originally discovered in the 18th century [1], the titanium industry did not experience any significant advancement until the middle of the 20th century through the development of the gas turbine engine [2]. Since then, the aerospace sector has dominated worldwide titanium use with applications in both engines and airframe structures [3]. The highly desirable combination of properties,...

Phase transformation kinetics during continuous heating of and metastable titanium alloys

The effect of heating rate on the phase trans-formation kinetics of a Ti–10V–2Fe–3Al metastable btitanium alloy quenched from the b field is investigated byfast in situ high energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction anddifferential scanning calorimetry. The initial microstructureis formed by a00 martensite and finexath particles distrib-uted in the retained b-phase matrix...

Work Function Tuning in Sub-20nm Titanium Nitride (TiN) Metal Gate: Mechanism and Engineering

Work Function Tuning in Sub-20nm TiN Metal GateMechanism and Engineering Md. Mehedi Hasan Scaling of transistors (the building blocks of modern information age) provides faster computation at the expense of excessive power dissipation. Thus to address these challenges, high-k/metal gate stack has been introduced in commercially available microprocessors from 2007. Since then titanium nitride (T...

Titanium and Titanium Alloys as Biomaterials

Titanium Alloys in Orthopaedics

Metallic implants are commonly used in the orthopedic field. Despite the large number of metallic medical devices in use today, they are predominantly make up of only a few metals. Metallic alloys such as titanium continue to be one of the most important components used in orthopaedic implant devices due to favorable properties of high strength, rigidity, fracture toughness and their reliable m...
