Thermochromism and thermochromic materials research and development are of great
interest because of their importance in versatile applications with respect to energy-efficient …

Hydrophobic thin films have gained significant attention due to their broad applications in
self-cleaning, anti-corrosion, anti-icing, medicine, oil–water separation, and other fields. The …

Anti-reflective coating (ARC) layers on silicon (Si) solar cells usually play a vital role in the
amount of light absorbed into the cell and protect the device from environmental …

Magnesium alloys have been widely studied as materials for temporary implants, but their
use has been limited by their corrosion rate. Recently, coatings have been proven to provide …

The wettability of metal oxides, which is directly related to the surface free energy (SFE), is
used in a wide range of robust functional coatings, from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. Because …

We used magnetron sputtering to prepare high emissive HfO 2 thin films with thickness 300–
500 nm under different O 2 flux. A dense uniform HfO 2 thin film with a polycrystalline …

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and titanium nitride (TiN) composite coatings have proved to
be quite effective anti-corrosion applications owing to the inertness of PTFE and wear …

Structural, optical, and electrical properties of granular thin films of CdSe deposited on HfO 2
dielectric layer are reported. The thin films were deposited on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) …

Hafnium oxides (HfO 2) retain mechanical resilience, thermal stability, and chemical
resistivity due to which it is used diversely in various high-tech applications in optics and …

HfO2 and V2O5 as multi-layer thin films are discussed for their potential use as transparent
heat mirrors. Multi-layered HfO2/V2O5/HfO2 thin films with a thickness of 100/60/100 nm …
