Superconducting proximity junctions made of topological insulator (TI) nanoribbons (NRs) provide a useful platform for studying superconductivity. We report on the fabrication and measurement Josephson (JJs) using Sb doped Bi$_2$Se$_3$ NRs in contact with Al electrodes. Aharonov$-$Bohm Altshuler$-$Aronov$-$Spivak oscillations axial magneto-conductance TI NR were observed, indicating existence m...

Control of microstructure parameters that affecting the Al-Ti-C master alloys grain refining efficiency is leading to improve the aluminum grain refinement. This study was an attempt to produce Al-Ti-C master alloys that provide these controlling factors with relying on the solute effect theory. The produced master alloys were examined by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispers...

Tungsten metal layer was used for the first time as an effective diffusion barrier for the standard Ti/Al/Ti/Au ohmic metallization scheme to obtain thermally stable ohmic contact suitable for high temperature applications. Comparative studies were performed on three distinct metallization schemes: 1) standard GaN/Ti/Al/Ti/Au, 2) GaN/Ti/Al/W/Au, and 3) GaN/Ti/Al/Ti/W/Au. For the GaN with doping...

In the present work, structural characteristics and tribological properties of the Ti-Al-Cr-(Si)-C-N nanocomposite films coated on the SPK 1.2080 tool steel byPVD technique have been investigated. The PVD coating process was carried out using Ti (Si) Al and CrAl cathodes at 150 A current, 40 V bias and (Ar)0.1(CH4)0.45(N2)0.45 gas mixture for 50 min. Evaluations were conducted by OM, FESEM, AFM...

In Kagome metal CsV$_3$Sb$_5$, multiple intertwined orders are accompanied by both electronic and structural instabilities. These exotic have attracted much recent attention, but their origins remain elusive. The newly discovered CsTi$_3$Bi$_5$ is a Ti-based to parallel CsV$_3$Sb$_5$. Here, we report angle-resolved photoemission experiments first-principles calculations on pristine Cs-doped sam...
