In modern technologies, the researchers are keen on top-down approaches to tailor the
materials from bulk into their nanometer forms. For the amorphous alumina, this is the other …

This review sheds novel insights on the residual oxide behaviour of solid-state weld joints of
aluminium alloys. Understanding the influence of oxides on the aluminium surface before …

The valence and conduction bands of am-and γ-Al2O3 films grown by the atomic layer
deposition technique were studied simultaneously in identical experimental conditions using …

We present results from measurements of the native oxide film thickness on four different
industrial aluminum alloys and three different aluminum single crystals. The thicknesses …

The growth of an oxide film on a bare metal surface by oxidation is a complex process
usually obstructing description in terms of a single rate-determining mechanism. The initial …

The structure and morphology of thin aluminium-oxide films grown by the dry, thermal
oxidation of a bare Al (431) substrate at a partial oxygen pressure of 1.33× 10− 4 Pa in the …

Amorphous aluminum oxide Al 2 O 3 (a-Al 2 O 3) layers grown by various deposition
techniques contain a significant density of negative charges. In spite of several experimental …

The surface oxidation of aluminum is still poorly understood despite its vital role as an
insulator in electronics, in aluminum–air batteries, and in protecting the metal against …

Black coatings with superior optical properties have attracted considerable attention for the
surface treatment of aluminum alloys. This study focuses on the development of black …

The chemical composition and the chemical state of the Al and O ions of thin aluminium-
oxide films grown by the dry, thermal oxidation of a bare Al (431) substrate at a partial …
