Method of electric arc synthesis composite microparticles metal-semiconductor-dielectric based on titanium, titanium nitride and rutile with productivity up to 10 g/min is proposed. Using diffraction microscopic methods, the morphology structural-phase composition synthesized were studied. example methylene blue degradation, photocatalytic activity in visible radiation range was demonstrated it...

The production of thin mesoporous silica films with small (∼2-3 nm) pores oriented perpendicular to a titanium nitride growth surface is demonstrated using two methods. These are the growth from a Stöber silica solution with surfactant ordering at the surface of the electrode, and electrochemically assisted growth from an acidic sol achieved by polarisation of the electrode surface. The thickne...

The pH sensing and nonideal characteristics of a ruthenium nitride (RuN) sensing membrane pH sensor were investigated. RuN thin films were deposited from a 99.9% ruthenium target on p-type silicon substrates using radio frequency (r.f.) sputtering with N(2) gas. Subsequently, the nanometric structure and surface morphology of RuN thin films were determined. The sensitivity of the RuN sensing me...

Alternative materials for plasmonic devices have garnered much recent interest. A promising candidate material is titanium nitride. Although there is a substantial body of work on the formation of this material, its use for plasmonic applications requires a more systematic and detailed optical analysis than has previously been carried out. This paper describes an initial optimization of sputter...

In this letter, HfO2 based RRAM with varying device sizes are discussed with an analysis on their electrical characteristics. Device sizes of 60nm and 120nm were achieved by using different thickness of nitride spacer after 200nm contact hole is formed. Platinum (Pt) bottom electrode and Titanium Nitride (TiN) top electrode were used with HfO2 dielectric as the resistance switching layer. Unifo...

The influence of structural configurations of indium aluminum nitride (InAlN) nanospirals, grown by reactive magnetron sputter epitaxy, on the transformation of light polarization are investigated in terms of varying structural chirality, growth temperatures, titanium nitride (TiN) seed (buffer) layer thickness, nanospiral thickness, and pitch. The handedness of reflected circularly polarized l...

We report the growth of titanium nitride microcolumns under multipulse Nd:yttrium aluminum garnet ( 1.064 m, ∼ 300 ns, 30 kHz) laser irradiation of titanium targets in nitrogen atmosphere. The laser intensity value was chosen below the single-pulse melting threshold of titanium. The evolution with the number of laser pulses of the target morphology, crystalline state, and chemical composition a...

The main purpose of the research was to develop the micromodel of biocompatible titanium nitride nanocoating deposited on polymer by pulsed laser deposition method in blood chambers of Polish ventricular assist devices: POLVAD and POLVAD_EXT. The analysis of the parameters of micromodel crucial for the phenomenon of loss of cohesion occurring between coating and substrate was carried out as wel...

Hierarchical nanotubular TiN was prepared by magnesiothermic reduction of titania replicas of a cellulose substance (filter paper), which possessed high surface area (31.4 m(2) g(-1)), and was demonstrated to be a promising electrode material due to its electrochemical performances.
