Transition metal nitrides have attracted significant attention for energy storage applications
due to their unique structural, electronic and catalytic properties. In this study, chromium …

Micro/nano structuring of KrF Excimer laser-irradiated Aluminum (Al) has been correlated
with laser-produced structural and mechanical changes. The effect of non-reactive Argon …

The effect of liquid environment (de-ionized water and propanol) on surface, structural and
mechanical properties of femtosecond laser ablated titanium has been investigated. For this …

CrN x/Ag nanocomposite films with varying Ag content were prepared by reactive magnetron
sputtering under a constant Ar/N 2 stream. The films were annealed between 500–800° C in …

In this study, we prepare bilayer Ni–Cr/CrN films. A Ni–Cr resistive thin film was prepared by
DC sputtering from targets of Ni 0.8-Cr 0.2 casting alloy. A CrN protection thin film was …

CrN films were deposited on 304 stainless steel by DC reactive magnetron sputtering. The
effects of nitrogen flow on the microstructure, mechanical and tribological properties were …

Transition metal carbides (TMC) exhibit a range of exceptional features. However, the poor
oxidation resistance of TMC derivatives generally limits their industrial applications at …

The formation of nanoscale structures, variation in structural and mechanical properties of
zirconium has been investigated. For this purpose Ti: sapphire laser (800 nm, 30 fs, 1 kHz) …

The surface, structural, and mechanical properties of zirconium after irradiation with Ti:
sapphire laser (800 nm, 30 fs, 1 kHz) have been investigated. The zirconium targets were …

The WS 2/CrN bilayered films with different interface morphologies between WS 2 and CrN
layer were prepared by physical vapor deposition. By controlling the deposition parameters …
