This is the first book covering the theory, practicalities, and the extensive applications of
neutron powder diffraction in materials science, physics, chemistry, mineralogy and …

The optical contrast and minimum layer thickness of Ni/Ti broadband neutron multilayer
supermirrors is usually hampered by an interface width, typically 0.7 nm, caused by …

We have performed an experimental investigation of Ti-, B_4C-, B-, and Y-based multilayer
mirrors for the soft x-ray–extreme ultraviolet (XUV) wavelength region between 2.0 and 12.0 …

A novel fabrication process for Ni–Ti shape-memory alloy thin films is presented. This
process is based on the appropriate annealing of sputter-deposited Ni/Ti multilayers. X-ray …

A new fabrication method for Ni–Ti thin films showing martensitic phase transformation is
presented. A multilayer of up to 100 alternating pure Ni and pure Ti layers is deposited in an …

Artificial multilayers for neutron optical applications can be produced reliably in large
quantities using pulsed DC-magnetron sputtering techniques. Co-sputtering and reactive …

The connection between the columnar growth and evolution of the wavy interface
morphology in amorphous and polycrystalline multilayers was investigated by transmission …

The nanoscale design of metallic multilayer thin films is one crucial factor that greatly
influences the kinetics, often inducing unusual phase transformations. Metastable or …

An experimental investigation of W/C, W/Ti, Ni/Ti, and Ni/V multilayers is presented that uses
synchrotron radiation in the soft-x-ray energy region between 100 and 1500 eV with special …

Additive manufacturing techniques allow for the production of materials with complicated
geometries with reduced costs and production time over traditional methods. We have …
