X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques are powerful, non-destructive characterization tool with
minimal sample preparation. XRD provides the first information about the materials phases …

In recent years, near-nano (submicron) and nanostructured materials have attracted
increasingly more attention from the materials community. Nanocrystalline materials are …

The components of the macroscopic mechanical stress tensor of a stressed thin film, coating,
multilayer or the region near the surface of a bulk material can in principle be determined by …

Laser shock peening is combined with laser additive manufacturing to modify the surface
microstructures and mechanical properties of as manufactured Ti6Al4V titanium alloy …

Cost-effective integration with existing silicon CMOS electronics has been one of the primary
motivations for most of the emerging non-silicon devices. In this context, β-gallium oxide (Ga …

The adhesion strength and mechanical properties of hard coatings on substrates can be
improved by adding an interlayer, which is also known as an adhesion, buffer, or seed layer …

Alumina-forming MAX phase coatings reveal great potential for accident tolerant fuel (ATF)
cladding applications due to their favorable physical and mechanical properties and …

Deep learning networks facilitate automated damage identification and performance
evaluation for concrete structures using electromechanical impedance/admittance …

Abstract Oriented [4 0 1¯] β-Ga 2 O 3 films were grown on sapphire substrate (0 0 0 1) by
pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique. The crystalline structure and optical band gap …

In this work we have analyzed the doping, passivation and contact properties of boron-
doped (p+) polysilicon (poly-Si) layers to understand the two key limiting factors for industrial …
