Surface segregation and diffusion of W, Ta, Cr, O and S after thermal annealing of
EUROFER97 were studied in-situ. The sample was prepared by polishing, annealing up to …

We present equipment for sample synthesis, preparation and modification enabling in-situ
studies employing medium energy ion beams at the ion implanter facility of the Tandem …

The mechanism of the thermal conversion of both bis (2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethyl-3, 5-
heptanedionato) nickel (II)(Ni (TMHD) 2) and the protonated ligand (TMHD-H) adsorbed on …

Due to the lower cost compared to screen-printed silver contacts, the Ni/Cu/Ag contacts
formed by plating have been continuously studied as a potential metallization technology for …

Nickel (Ni) thin films are commonly used in the integrated circuit field. Magnetron sputtering
is a common method for thin film deposition, and the sputtering target is the key raw material …

Understanding phase transitions of ultrathin metal silicides is crucial for the development of
nanoscale silicon devices. Here, the phase transition of ultrathin (3.6 nm) Ni silicides on Si …

Despite numerous technological applications associated to nickel silicide thin films, their
formation mechanisms are still far from being understood. We combined experimental and …

This article describes a morphological and crystallographic multi-technique characterization
of a 2D-nanocomposite consisting of highly oriented NiSi 2 nanoplates endotaxially grown …

Low-temperature solid-state reactions between Ni and Si were studied using in situ
transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In the experiments thin amorphous silicon (a-Si) …
