Finally, they isolated the formed metal oxide, e.g. HfO 2, Al 2 O 3, or GdO 2, by briefly touching a substrate to the droplet. Analysis via high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) ...

The researchers, who were originally working on developing next-generation Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) devices, discovered that a p-type tin oxide semiconductor could ...

One of the key challenges 2D materials still face is their uniform wafer-scale deposition. Here, the authors present a deposition method for post-transition metal dichalcogenides, based on ...

Three "special" oxides – aluminum oxide, chromium oxide and silicon dioxide – can actually work to protect metal from further corrosion. So the MIT team set out to explore why this was the case.

Welding stainless steel makes the cleaning and passivation of the material even more critical. The heat of the process ...

PVD allowed them to deposit onto glass metal layers only 10 to 20 nanometers thick. An oxide layer then forms spontaneously in air. It grows to a thickness of 2 nanometers and then stops growing.

Researchers at IIT Mandi have developed high-quality, uniform thin films of nickel oxide on the silicon substrate using an aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition technique, with nickel nitrate ...
