Internal Stress of Ni-P Alloy Electroplating Films

The Mechanical and Electrochemical Properties of DC-Electrodeposited Ni-Mn Alloy Coating with Low Internal Stress

The nickel-manganese (Ni-Mn) alloy coating prepared from DC electrodeposition process in sulphamate bath was studied. The effects of process parameters, such as current density and electrolyte composition, on the cathodic current efficiency, microstructure, internal stress and mechanical properties were investigated. Because of its crucial effect on the application to the electroforming of micr...

Stress evolution in GaAsN alloy films

We have investigated stress evolution in dilute nitride GaAs1−xNx alloy films grown by plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy. For coherently strained films sx,2.5% d, a comparison of stresses measured via in situ wafer curvature measurements, with those determined from x-ray rocking curves using a linear interpolation of lattice parameter and elastic constants, suggests significant bowing of t...

Neutron Depolarization Studies of Pd-Ni-Fe-P alloy

Bulk metallic glasses based on the quaternary alloy Pd-Ni-Fe-P exhibit interesting phase behavior depending on temperature and applied magnetic field. Previous work has suggested that a range of magnetic phases including paramagnetic, superparamagnetic, ferromagnetic and spin glass can be observed in this system. We have applied one dimensional neutron depolarization to explore the correlation ...

Diffraction studies on Ni-Co and Ni-Cr alloy thin films

Conductive Polymers: Electroplating of Organic Films

Electron-conductive polymers were first reported in 1971 by Shirakawa and co-workers [1]. They synthesized conducting polyacetylene and found that it had a considerably high conductivity relative to other organic compounds, 10 S cm 1 [1–3]. Since 1971, various conducting polymers and their synthesis mechanisms have been studied actively by many researchers [4]. The conductivities of these polym...
