Nanocarbon thin films in its many facets are increasingly becoming a material of interest for nanoelectronics and microelectronics applications. Room temperature grown nanocluster carbon (NC) thin films, could be one of the interesting and novel material for micro/nano, large area and flexible microelectronics applications. Nanocluster carbon thin films are unique in terms of its morphology, va...

Abstract Physical vapor deposition (PVD) refers to the removal of atoms from a solid or liquid by physical means, followed those on nearby surface form thin film coating. Various approaches and techniques are applied release including thermal evaporation, electron beam ion-driven sputtering, laser ablation, cathodic arc-based emission. Some based plasma discharge, while in other cases composing...

TiAlN coatings with different Al ratios were deposited by the cathodic arc ion plating (AIP) method, and relationship between solid particle erosion resistance structural, mechanical properties was investigated a micro slurry-jet (MSE) test. The crystal structure of coating changes depending on ratio. shows B1 single cubic phase ratio 0 0.58; above this ratio, formation B4 hexagonal is observed...

A practical anodic and cathodic curve intersection model, which consisted of an apparent anodic curve and an imaginary cathodic line, was proposed to explain multiple corrosion potentials occurred in potentiodynamic polarization curves of Fe-based glassy alloys in alkaline solution. The apparent anodic curve was selected from the measured anodic curves. The imaginary cathodic line was obtained ...
