In this research, various types of nitride additives were incorporated into titanium diboride attaining dense TiB2-based ceramics by field-assisted sintering technique. The addition different additives, namely Si3N4, BN, AlN, and TiN, significantly improved the sinterability TiB2, achieving near fully ceramics. X-ray diffraction analysis microstructural evaluation confirmed presence h-BN compou...

Titanium nitride (TiN), with its tunable work function, serves as an electrode metal in the scaling fin-type field-effect transistor and plays key role for low threshold operation. Measuring effective function of thin TiN films is desirable rapid evaluation before device fabrication. In this work, Kelvin probe force microscopy applied to study impact various factors on surface potential uncerta...

13. ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words) Prompted by the prediction of Cohen and coworkers that beta carbon nitride may have properties similar to diamond, there have been many attempts to synthesize this hypothetical metastable material. We successfully synthesized this material via epitaxial stabilization using TiN(lll) and ZrN(lll) as the growth template. The coatings were CN/TiN or CN/ZrN multilaye...

Ferroelectric hafnium zirconium oxide (HZO) synthesized by magnetron sputtering ceramic target. Titanium nitride top and bottom electrodes are grown reactive sputtering. insertion an ultra‐thin electrode/HZO interface impacts crystalline phase electrical properties ferroelectric HZO. Foll...

In this work, the potential of ZnO nanowire arrays decorated with titanium nitride (TiN) nanoparticles as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates is demonstrated. nanowires were grown by hydrothermal synthesis while commercially obtained TiN powders subjected to several hours mechanical grinding achieve 30–100 nm diameter nanoparticles. The then dispersed in acetone and drop cast on...

The influence of coatings based on titanium carbide and zirconium carbide, obtained by PVD method, cutting tool wear resistance under conditions the longitudinal turning transport machines’ parts steel 45 stainless 12H18N10T inserts hard alloy grade T15K6 was investigated. It has been experimentally established that presence composition coating working surfaces in most cases contributes to a si...

High aspect ratio titanium nitride (TiN) grating structures are fabricated by the combination of deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) and atomic layer deposition (ALD) techniques. TiN is deposited at 500 ◦C on a silicon trench template. Silicon between vertical TiN layers is selectively etched to fabricate the high aspect ratio TiN trenches with the pitch of 400 nm and height of around 2.7 μm. Diel...

Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) batteries as the next-generation battery system have an ultrahigh theoretical energy density. However, limited conversion of polysulfides in sulfur cathodes deteriorates performance Li-S batteries. In this study, we develop a novel titanium nitride (TiN) catalyst for via atomic layer deposition (ALD). The synthesized ALD-TiN shows controllable ultrafine particle size (<2 n...
