Morphology of Electrodeposited Ni-P Alloy Film.

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...

Nanoindentation and micro-mechanical fracture toughness of electrodeposited nanocrystalline Ni–W alloy films

Effect of Substrate Configuration on the Grain Structure and Morphology of Electrodeposited Ni for Prototyping LIGA

Synchrotron X-ray lithographic molding of PMMA-Ti/Cu/Ti substrates has been developed and used in the electrodeposition of Ni microparts for prototype LIGA development at SNL, CA. Alternative molding processes that minimize xray beam line use and reduce processing time are of interest for the rapid fabrication of large quantities of microparts. The objective of this investigation is to examine,...

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 ...

Electrodeposited CuInSe2 thin film junctions

We have investigated thin films and junctions based on copper indium diselenide (CIS) which have been grown by electrochemical deposition. CIS is a leading candidate for use in polycrystalline thin film photovoltaic solar cells. Electrodeposition is a cost-effective method for producing thin-film CIS. We have produced both p and n type CIS thin films from the same aqueous solution by simply var...
