A new electrolyte composition and deposition conditions of quality (light, densely packed, homogeneous) copper coatings on zinc its alloys were found. It was established that the electrochemical is possible from an alkaline solution containing propylene glycol. shown adding hydroxyethylidene diphosphonic acid in stabilises during operation storage. The addition morpholine provided a wide range ...

Zinc selenide (ZnSe) a II-VI compound semiconductor with cubic zinc blende structure and a direct bandgap of 2.7 eV is found to be a very promising material for optoelectronic devices (Venkatachalam et al., 2007a). Semiconductor heterostructures employing zinc selenide and related alloys are an option for the production of optoelectronic devices emitting in the blue – green spectral range (Haas...

Alloys of magnesium, zinc or iron that do not contain toxic elements are attractive as construction material for biodegradable implants, i.e., the type implants harmlessly dissolve away within human body after they have completed their intended task. The synergistic influence mechanical stress and corrosive fluid can cause sudden catastrophic fracture bioimplants due to phenomena such corrosion...

In-situ scanning vibrating electrode technique and time-lapse microscopy are used to investigate the influence of germanium additions (0.19–1.8 wt.%) on corrosion performance zinc-aluminium-magnesium model alloys immersed in 0.17 mol.dm?3 NaCl. The addition Ge results formation Mg2Ge a decrease fractional area eutectic phase. A 58 % SVET derived mass loss is achieved at 1.8 wt.% Ge. It proposed...
